Like the person before me, the marketplace is not always expensive. However if you want to be frugal and save, just do every single quest that comes your way, even Heroics. Once you get to them, they start giving out planet sets. These sets aren't always the best but good enough to continue on in your journey. Also every flashpoint has its own set of armor for each chunk of levels. Here is the site that shows you where you can get them. Other than that, you can PvP and use those commendations to buy gear, but they only come at levels 20, 40, and 50. Armor of course. Weapons usually come every four levels. Good Luck!

After a day of just logging bugs and problems I found I got this list. Not big but still, here you go BioWare. Hope this helps. Crafting • When a companion fails a mission, they still sometimes say I delivered you perfection or they outdid themselves. Not game-breaking, just annoying and teasing. • When a companion returns from doing a cybertech mission, it gives you your crafted item and then says “there are no missions defined for the crew skill cybertech.” Graphics PvP • When being thrown into the air by the vents in Huttball, sometimes the character will land and will be stuck in the graphic of falling down. Looks like they are hovering around. • The map for Voidstar covers up the right quickbar. Text-Based PvP • When you go to queue for PvP, the text box only says you will queue for Alderaan when you can actually go to all three. Personal Problems • People still AFK in PvP

Thanks mate. +1 to you.

Can anyone help or did 41 people just not know?

I remember reading somewhere that with the level 50 PvP gear, you can interchange mods and get the effect of one in another, Is this true? Like putting BH mods into Agent armor. Will I still get the BH abilities?

It might be shadows. That was the worst for me. Shadow technology is still getting better. Try turning it off?

You just fused the two class types. To do Tracer, they cannot move. They have no dmg reduction shield (Powertech, not merc), heals are **** beyond compare, and they need those CC to keep melee range away. Only one good insta-cast too. Rail Shot, but then again, only good if I do Tracer 5 times.

You have no idea do you? The ability is the trademark for the Arsenal Mercenary. That whole tree is specced to make that skill stronger and less costly. So no, there is no game-breaking bug that BioWare missed. They purposely put it into the game for that class. Now as to why they get such an OP attack which seems to kill you so easily? Here is why: DPS: VERY HIGH Mobility: Zero Survivability: Little to None This game isn't going to be super-balanced on play types. Your best bet is to learn the play style of each class and THEN PvP. This class type is a glass cannon. They cannot move. They have to charge up the attack. And they really cannot survive many hits. If a melee character can get into range and stay there, then they will destroy the class. If another class stuns the skill for four seconds, they are done for. Learn about a class before you start screaming bug, seriously.

It actually is against the rules. The Terms and Services we all agreed to, remember that? Section 12 brings it up. If you do something that hinders another persons gameplay (which is chosen as to what by them), you can be severely punished. Now I know that the definition is vague. Getting a drop in a group could make someone mad but it doesn't hinder it. Being better in PvP doesn't hinder them, but if someone AFKs, they prevent a fair fight for their team and in forth, hinders them. Mind you, I didn't mean to say this to be rude, just to inform. SPREAD THE WORD!

I love it. Thanks to you guys and mainly Trungalung, I re-specced from Arsenal Merc to the Carolina Parakeet before it was renamed. We are shields of doom who fire massive amounts of damage from a single rail shot. We are, the Carolina Parakeets! HOORAH!

The easiest fix is vote kicking. Nuff said.

I know that the lvl 50 PvP gear sets have set bonuses applied when you wear at least two or four. Now my question is, can I strip the mods from it and put it into another orange, and get the still set bonuses from the new armor, or do the PvP sets only get it?

Trungalung, what rotation do you use?

Terms and Policies you agreed to. Section 11. Near the bottom. link IDC if you think it is your way of playing. You are breaking the rules and foundations laid out before you. Anyone whos arguement is that they can do as they please since they spent the money, well guess what! Wrong. Thank You EA.

Can you tell me the order you put these in?

What if I am both

I am a BH Mercenary. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FACTS? IA's are my worst enemy. Snipers piss me off and do a lot of damage! Can you seriously back up your statement? Secondly, we have one good AoE and it has a long cooldown so don't say we spam AoE. We also don't have great survivability. I am a glass cannon. Massive damage up front, weak body. Seriously, everywhere I go, there is people complaining that their class got screwed over. Is anyone happy?

Only level 50's can be separated though. Just because of the Expertise in their gear.

I'm glad you read the whole post I said. I read this whole forum and I know your groups complaints. Can't 1v1. Can't survive. BLAH BLAH BLAH. The Arsenal is powerful with the right gear (AKA pvp gear) and has its own strategy. I also understand I will get roflstomped by a pre-made. Most people should. This game is team based, not everyone go be a hero. Also, I have 20 valor. Not high but still takes a good amount of games to get to. I never have less than five medals and die like 4 times. One time I died ten but that is because my frustration got over me. I am fine with this. With three tracer missiles, rail shot, then heat seeking, it doesn't matter for me. With melee, all I need to do is concussion missile them. Heal, then back up. They want to break it? Go for it. Electro dart! Then, I can get one more CC off and guess where my jet boost is going? RIGHT THERE! I am not worried about killing either. Anyone else want to tell me they think it sucks needing strategy to win? Cuz that is my favorite part. (Also have a level 32 Gunnery Trooper. Mirror class.) I am already level 30. Eleven more levels and I have what I want. Arsenal was a great choice for me at first, I just want to know if Pyrotech MERCENARY was a better choice for PvP overall.

Hey guys. An Arsenal Merc here and I love to PvP. Now before, I never thought of my class as bad in PvP. Some games I get wiped because the other team is good, or I dominate because mine is good or the other team sucks. However, reading these forums has put the thought in my head. Which is better for PvP? Now I am talking about Pyrotech and Arsenal. I want to be more efficient in PvP as a Mercenary! Do not tell me to re-roll. Not this far into the game. Do not tell me Mercs suck at PvP. I have proven to myself they don't. Do not tell me Arsenal is like a turret, because it is not to me. Some notes: Level 28 Arsenal Merc Doesn't use AoE much unless given the oppurtunity. I am more worried about the objective than kills, but I do love medals. Here are my thoughts: Arsenal will do more damage and get me more kills, but Pyrotech will help more for damage and objective, seeing as how objectives require a cast and damage breaks that. So which is better? I want some proof and a build if you can! Thanks!

Well then, it is your problem. Not everyone hates the PvP armor you know. I think it looks slick and deadly.

The problem for most here isn't the suit, but the helmet. The helmets look nothing alike.

You guys are being mislead here. LvV 50 pvp gear on the fleet has two different styles. Yes, the PvP gear he has shown you looks pretty nasty, but he didn't show you the other one. Which in my mind, looks pretty damn tasty! Go to the fleet, and go to the champion vendor. Look at the Eliminator suit. Looks pretty cool if you ask me.

I am fine with the Inquisitor and Consular force charge thing. As long as if it is used to go through fire, they die. Simple. The fires are what make Huttball a challenge and not a walk in the park. Don't allow those to be exploited.
