Dear BioWare, it would be great if you could mark North on our compasses and maps, at least in warzones. It's easy to get confused when people call east/west tower because a lot of people take it for granted that their starting position is facing North, and West/East are hence used as an (incorrect replacement) for Left/Right, regardless of the map.

damn, I rolled republic and am super pissed that I rarely get any huttball matches :/

I see your point. LFD could help, but I'd certainly want to keep it server side. That way community can still police itself by putting jerks on ignore and etc. Keeps it healtheir imo.

here's a tip. Make friends and leave a good impression by not being a jerk and by actually making an effort to socialize and not play it as a singleplayer game. Also help people that are leveling even if it's out of your way. You'd be surprised how many of them will catch up to you or surpass you in levels and invite you later on. I can get a group going anytime I wish to, simply because people WANT to group with me. That said, I actually don't form groups from my friend list all the time because I want to meet new people and expand the list. cheers!

...yeah I spacebar my way thru the conversation with aliens too.

beg to differ, a dps would use slightly different gear than a tank/healer would. The main stats remain the same, but a vanguard tank will take def/absorption than critical/power/surge. It's going to make a difference.

at first I thought the game would suck for not having a dual spec... but then I saw how viable tanks/healers are in pvp (and pve with the right companions, leveling as tank spec is a lot better than as a dps spec imo!) and now I actually think Bioware made the right choice. If in doubt, roll a healer/tank. You'll still do incredibly well in pvp if not better and get groups easily.

I am all up for separating the 50s bracket from the rest... but removing premades(restricting them)? That's going a bit far imo. Not all premades are op premades, some just involve 2-3 people queing together.

Sadly, in my experience that's not what happened to WoW.

People are competitive by nature. When you put in a ranking system, people will oft ignore to interrupt/assist with cc/help healers/clear trash. It's simple as that. So lets see how things workout without recount for a while, if it means guilds that are only held together by wish to clear raids and are cold and meticulous about it let it be.

I've seen top dps do some seriously stupid ****, (like not assisting with the adds and focusing solely on the boss) and BECAUSE of that ending up in the "top". Even worse, these are the people that usually are first to link their dps to all! NOT TO MENTION, that they oft pull aggro while as a tank have to get the critters off the healer BEFORE they kill him because god forbid it would ruin their rotation if they did that themselves. I'd like the dps meters to be implemented but remain private. It would help players self-improve and optimize their rotations. (Would also be nice to have a breakdown of how much damage they done with which ability) That said, UI itself could use a LOT more flexibility. Being a tank myself I'd also like to see an aggro list.

Honestly it's good. I guard healers in warzones, and we basically go town. Would be nice to have some more (short cd) tools at my disposal to mitigate dmg on ME as a tank though since I seem to be targetted first quite often and burned fast. But, I am not complaining

What kind of conceited bs is that? I play as my toon sees fit in accordance to his own belief system. Don't group us all up. I see no reason why I should suffer for immersing myself in the world they've given us. Smugglers/Troopers archetypes don't mesh very well with the current reward system we have for dark/light side.

Not everyone is playing a force sensitive character. I as a trooper, couldn't give a damn about the force, or your jedi/sith religion respectively. Smugglers are even a better example. We live by own rules. So that pretty much concludes this argument you're having.

This mechanic sucks. I am level 40 with light 1 as a trooper. I'll probably stay around there or go to gray/light 2 at most. I don't want to be gimped for something as silly as alignment restriction in a COMPETITIVE game that encourages immersion. They need to remove this ASAP, and make the relics usable by either light / dark side, regardless of their respective rank. Gray should be able to use both. It's a nice mechanic IN THEORY, but it won't work. I am already pissed.
