In case you cant be bothered to look at the patch notes before posting. •Players who are interacting with a Warzone objective and are then affected by an area of stealth effect will have the objective interaction interrupted. This ensures players cannot exploit area of stealth effects to secure Warzone objectives unaffected and unseen by defending players.

If there are "tons of 50's" you should be able to spam at get a group together in no time.

I think Khem Vhal is a special case, kind of like but other companions definitely show the gear, like Khaliyo and Mako.

Just throwing this out as well. If you get a drop that has the right kind of stats on it, but it is the wrong gear (like a Marauder piece dropping with lots of str, but Jug dps) you can always snag it and rip the mods out of it and build a better piece of gear out of what you have already. This is, of course, assuming you have orange gear already. Same goes for Operatives (I have been gutting sniper rifles for upgrades). Opens up a few more options with repeat drops, but doesnt help with class-specific stats (aim/cunning etc).

I think the gear drop system IS intelligent, but it hates some people. Running with a Jug (me), Sorc and PT. Levelled into the 20s, I was getting so few Jug drops we totally shuffled the deck and I rerolled Operative, PT went tank spec, and Sorc went DPS from heals. The IA is getting gear drops left and right, as are the other 2, and it is a rare day we see a Jug drop. It is so smart, it knows how to make you reroll! But really, it is frustrating having the same item double-drop off of a final boss. Especially if no one can use it. A smart drop system based on group members would be nice (but if you include companions, it would still cover just about every class).

Eh we've been 3 manning it with a PT tank, Sorc DPS, Op heals and Mako. Each time it can be a little close, but not terrible, and we are all 24-26. Typically, because we have Mako and Op heals, we just ignore the Knight and let him bounce around. PT and Sorc spam aoe to wreck them all, focusing mostly on the Trooper and Smuggler to start actually, then switching to Consular and finally Knight. That said, the damage we are throwing around with a PT tank and Sorc AOE's usually ends up killing them around the same time. If you have the healing to do it that way, its probably the easiest.

I have enjoyed Operative healing so far, mostly because the mechanics are interesting and its not just a spam fest (managing energy is an interesting balance). I usually play tanks, but after running a Jug to 21 I decided to yield to our Powertech and let him tank and I would pick up heals, allowing the Sorc to spam lightning. Who knows what will happen down the road, but for now the Op healing is good stuff.

Very helpful posts! I have run both instances in retail and you are dead on with your tips. (PS They arent Mini-wookies, they are Ugnaughts, ugly little SOBs.) Look forward to more!

If you are two manning this, one of you get your healer droid out for the last boss. But its a REALLY hard fight if you bring all 4 at this level because no one has a dispell to dump the DoT.

Knoxville checking in! Glad finals are OVER and I can play (hopefully wave 1 today)

Mostly what has already been said about setting a date; even if they prefaced it with "barring any setbacks." Nerdrage would be epic and heads would explode if they missed it for some reason (not necessarily yours, seems like you're still sane). I mean look how bad it was yesterday, and they didnt guarantee ANYONE would be able to play on the 13th, and yet people were QQ'ing about LAWSUITS because they werent getting to play.

You purchased in December and you've been watching this for two days? Obviously you're getting in late. I wouldnt have even bothered checking until Thursday, and maybe watched it Friday.

Obvious Troll being Obvious, thats not what the tweet says. I just posted the REAL TWEET

@Rockjaw Why are you guys still advertising up to 5 days EGA? No way will anyone post November get more then 1 day, seems kinda deceitful. Stephen Reid @Rockjaw 6m @DrewIAHWK It's a little early to be saying that.

Smart phone?
