It simply amazes me that people who "hate" the game the most are on the forums "posting" the most. I suppose the happy people are playing while I'm stuck at work waiting to play. Generally when I hate something I have nothing to do with it, but I guess I'm the odd man out.

Because what some people are looking for in games either will never exist, or might exist with increased technology 10 years from now. It's still a video game at the end of the day.

Cute, your first MMO. The travel time in this game isn't bad at all.

Good luck never enjoying another MMO. No MMO is going to have the same magic as the first one you ever played, it's like that first hit of crack, you'll never get the same high. There is nothing wrong with this game, it's a blast to play. I have a level 50 and an alt at 40 and I'm still having a great time. I really couldn't disagree more with the linked article. For the love of god stop clogging up our forums with the BS and go onto the next game that won't satisfy you. What's the next one GW2? Please go.... Faster. There is enough of us here that enjoy the game and are going to give it more than two months. You WILL NEVER BE HAPPY, I can personally assure you. GL

Sniper is simply more gear dependent in end game PvP than other classes. Once you get some gear you melt through noobs. When you face a good team the stealth classes will come destroy you repeatedly, or good melee. We have a really hard time scratching a geared tank class because so much of our damage is mitigated. That's pretty much it.

They probably won't make you have to be the profession to wear the Rakata belt and bracers since they can be obtained through raiding as well. That is a nasty bug waiting to happen. Adding augment slots to orange gear is going to make synth and armormech very rich indeed.

I don't think we can get augment slots on the oranges yet, that will be next patch. I'm not sure how I feel about it and I'm mainly an armor crafter. I guess it will be good for me, but I'm afraid it will be too much.

As someone with a 400 bio and a 400 armormech, I kind of have to agree with the OP. The reusable stims/adr/medpacks are literally like having extra abilities on your hotbar. You still get to make sick implants that take up two slots. I made my alt a bio to supply my main with supplies. You would be able to make yourself stims and medpacks still, and they would sell because 75% of the population wouldn't be biotechs. I can tell you from my guild alone, the vast majority of us have either bio as our main or bio on an alt. Many people in my guild dropped other crew skills just to make bio's. It's really just dumb and is still OP at end game. The only thing I could really get behind is reusable adrenals AND they should be tradeable. Too many mats for a 15 second buff, and they are cost prohibitive. Anyone without bio is generally not using these I would wager. Armormech is fine as it is imo, it doesn't need a buff. It also falls in line with most other crew skills at this point that are also useful. I still use purple crafted implants, purple crafted ear slot that are better than a lot of the stuff I've seen drop or even columi stuff. Yes I do have my crafted rakata bracers and belt, but it's not giving me that much statistically over the columi (since it's the weakest slots), and it can still be obtained through other means. I'm sorry that having someone call out the truth about how OP a crew skill is hurts people feelings, but it makes more sense to nerf one profession than to make all the other equally OP.

Try logging out quick and logging back in. I've been doing this lately and it gives you a new line up of missions most of the time. I use this a lot for UWT, since you get all companion gifts 75% of the time.

I've seen them on the rakata vendor in game so I"m about 99% sure you can get them through other means.

You don't I'm pretty sure they still drop off of raid mobs as well as be crafted. It's just the one end game benefit you get for being an armortech synth. If you spent all the credits and time to max out armor just to get rakata all the power to you imho. I have mine, but I kept the profession.

Would pay money for this!

Armormech is just fine in it's current state. You need to reengineer. Leveling I had better stuff than orange with good mods. I kept some orange gear and filled in the rest with crafted purples. Plus you can make gear for your conpanions. I sell 49 and 50 gear blue and purple non-stop. I have yet to not sell something I put on the GTN. So I can make money, make gear for alts/companions, Make some really nice tradeable purples with recipes I got off of raid mobs that are columi in quality. I'm so glad I didn't drop the skill for fotm biochem (although my alt is a biochem). Oh, and I get to make myself rakata bracers and belt with a chance of an augment slot. Just not seeing a problem here. I just wish we could make repair kits, that would make me really happy.

I've been noticing a lot less crit. Was just guessing it was bad luck, but maybe it's something more sinister.....

Based on the 3 MMO's I've played, two with penalties, one without, seems there was a lot less quitting in the other two game. A LOT less. To the person trying to defend the fact that they quit out of games, give it up, you a loser. I wouldn't want you to "overwork" yourself playing a video game. It's hard to suck down cheetos and mountain dew when you are rolling your face on the keyboard trying to carry scrubs, amirite? If you have someone to carry you, you can stand in the corner and get your rewards.

On my server I can't keep my level 49 crafted blue and purple armor on the shelves. It's actually blowing my mind how much and how fast it's selling. There is a huge market since everyone ditched their crew skills and went bio. I can't find half the stuff I'm looking to buy on my alt. I would pay bank for some of it, and I do for the pieces I do fine.

My blood pressure is cool, but I appreciate the concern. I'm pretty sure that that you are the one raging because you keep calling yourself a scrub. Blah blah, I'm a l337 Battlemaster, Blah Blah I'm not gonna carry scrubs (I need people to carry me), Blah blah as long as I get credit for my daily I'll quit as much as I need to. Overwork yourself ROFL??!!?? You do realize that this is a video game right? Do you need a gatorade after you try to help some scrubs win a game in SWTOR on your comp? Now I know you don't have a real job... LOL

You mean like people who quit when they don't get their way in a WF? By your own admission, you already said you were a scrub. You more or less said that you aren't good enough to help carry a team and that you need to quit until someone can carry you. It's OK bro, we understand.

There will be the occasional reason why a person quits, at that point you just take the 15 minute penalty. That doesn't happen all the time.

Or more likely that you're complete garbage. If you team keeps losing and you have to keep quitting there is only one thing consistently the same in each game, the fact that your in it scrub. I'm in a mix of champion and columi gear and I'm not having any issues in WF helping my team out. Quit more, that's probably why you're playing the game enough to get to BM and have no job and nothing left to do in the game. I find that the way people play games mirrors a lot of who they are in RL.

The deserter penalty should be a change in appearance for one hour. Anyone who deserts should have their appearance changed to a little girl in a skirt complete with tears. That way the rest of us non p**ssies can point and laugh at them for an hour. Oh and Mr. Bad Arse Battlemaster, congrats on maxing out on PvP. If you are so l337, you should be able to help your weaker team to victory, amirite? The incentive for you at this point is to PvP and have fun pwning noobs. If you can't do that in your l337 gears, you've probably already been carried to BM. You make a commitment to play a WZ when you click that little Q button. If you aren't enough of a man to fight it out, then please don't click that button. Believe me, the rest of us won't miss you for even a second. I'd rather wait 10 minutes for a match to pop, than have to q with fail quitters.

If none of that works you're pretty much effed in the a.

did you try /stuck?

As mentioned above, the key is to take out the turrets on the capital ships. This mission does not require shields or armor really since everything is gunning for the defecting ship. Make sure you have upgraded blasters and have power focused on your blasters for quick kills. The capital ships make a couple of rounds at your escort, so the more turrets you blow up, the less damage the ship will take later on. Learn the pattern of the fighters when you go through the asteroid field and have your blasters gunning for them when they are going to show up. Wait until you get to Sullest Interception, that one made me want to hurt kittens the first few times. You absolutely have to have the 10 second targeting immunity to finish it.

Due to my frustrations, it had been some time since I ran any WF on my sniper. They really fixed the lag on cover. I found myself a lot less frustrated having to move around and get back into cover. I got my columi gear, and proceeded to create a mixed set up of champion and columi gear. I was tearing people apart. Dare I say it, it was actually kind of fun. Seems like they have made some good improvements. Is it perfect? No. Is it a heck of a lot better and playable? Is for me now.
