I'm having the same issue but unfortunately the reset button is dimmed for me for my Chapter 5 mission. I filed a support ticket 3 days ago and haven't heard anything from customer support yet.

Just FYI for all you 'hard cores' out there. Folks are not 'afraid' of having their performance scrutinized by DPS meters, it's not fear at all.
What a majority of the detractors are against is the little dictators of a pug yelling about .02 less deeps, the screaming vent raid leader, and the toxic swill of community poison that usually forms, when overly competitive types, bully other players who have a different style of play.
No one is going to use DPS meters to 'help' anyone improve. That's just not how it works now. Don't fool yourselves, you all know it's no longer any kind of teaching, or improvement tool.
It's rarely used as it's intended to be...ever.
Your argument is akin to telling everyone they should stay home and not drive at night because a drunk driver might hit and kill them. Yeah, there are jerks in the game but for the most part, dps meters serve everyone a valuable purpose. The game shouldn't be designed because of the rare jerk.
Now, if you happen to be bad at your toon, then I can see how you might view EVERYONE in the game as jerk out to get you.

Two thoughts...
1. For high population servers, which don't generally have issues with this, it probably isn't needed.
2. For low population servers, there aren't enough folks to group together anyway, so this tool probably won't help.
But, it is a step in the right direction. Next stop, cross server!
If it's not needed and it probably won't help then how is this a step in the right direction?

Again they devs got something right. I just gained a little ( a little
) more respect for them.There will be combat logs with everything your toon does. These logs can be downloaded to disk. Guild or who ever from there can get the information the need.
This goes a long way for uniqueness of your character. BioWare's philosophy is that you should have some degree of privacy for your toon.
For those high end world first types (used to be me) they will have all the tools the need to further their progression.
So if a raid leader asks the newb in questing blues what his dps is and he says his is higher than everyone else, were supposed to just believe him right? Fail.

I love it when I finish a fight with Theran and he says "Hey Holiday! Did you see that?!" It's rich on so many levels.

Also:
It's pretty easy:
That shows ~19% of gamers using XP. That is sampling 15-20 million people, by the way, and not just computer users, but customers who bought and play video games.
Oh, and only 2 of the top 10 video cards support DX11 (GTX 560 & ATi 5770).
So, yeah, you can do the research and come up with numbers. It's just not going to support the conclusion you want it to.
Actually, if you see my post on page 2, you will see that Steam says 31% of users have a DX11 capable system.
-
Here's some interesting stats from the Steam Hardware survey.
43% of all users have a DX10 capable system (i.e. OS is Vista or greater and DX10 card present)
31% of all users have a DX11 capable system (i.e. OS is Vista or greater and DX11 card present)
26% of all users have a DX9 capable system (i.e. OS is XP or video card is DX9).
So adding DX11 support would benefit about a third of the user base and eliminating DX9 support would alienate a quarter of the user base.

I've leveled a Jedi Consular (my main), a Smuggler, and a Sith Inquistor through their respective starting worlds and Tython was by far the longest to level through. I think the Smuggler starting world is in line with Korriban. So instead of saying starting zones favor sith, I would say Jedi world takes much longer than anyone else.

I rarely did Elite quests in WoW so I'm not sure what's different here.

I've played several MMO's (Wow, LOTRO, AoC, Aion) and this is the first MMO that I will (eventually) level an alt from 1 to max level. I will definitely play until I reach 50 on my alt. However, I don't have much time available for end game so I'm not sure what I will do after that.

I’m amazed at the people who are scoffing at the notion that fully functional LFG tool can actually help people save time. I remember when I dinged 50 in Rift I was able to run dungeons with ease anytime I wanted to. That has not been the case in SWTOR.
If it’s hard to get groups for lvl 50 flashpoints, people are going to stop playing the game. Its as simple as that.
Yes, I’m sure there are some alpha dogs out there who will spend 15 minutes pinging random people in the fleet and spamming General to get people. But most people will prefer the simplicity of a LFG tool.
Also, one advantage a real LFG tool has over all the methods described above (including the crappy LFG tag in the who tool), is that a real LFG tool could group people from different planets.

DarthNorik:Do you ever see anyone showing how they fail in fraps?
About as often as you as you make a respectful post.

Well as I said, I'm interested in attending this event; I am a guild leader. But I'm also a college student.
I'm not going to pay for airfare, food and lodging just to sit in meetings all day and help improve a service I'm already paying for. No thanks.
I suspect the vast majority of guilds will be from the local area due to the money issue alone.
This why I think the lack of video conferencing makes this summit a bad idea.
You are essentially asking people who play this game for fun (even if in a leadership role) to pay 1000’s of dollars for airfare, lodging, food, and time away from work/school. Why would anyone want to spend 1000’s of dollars to help a company improve a service they are paying a monthly fee for? If my cell phone provider told me I could attend a summit to give my thoughts on how they could improve their service I would say heck no…go figure it out yourself or I’ll take my money elsewhere. I really like the idea that Bioware wants to reach out to the community but they have to eliminate the cost factor by offering video conferencing.
-
I think it’s imperative that Bioware add a virtual portion to the conference so that guild leaders do not have to travel to Austin for the event. They are going to get a lot more participation if people don’t have to fork over 1000’s of dollars in travel fees just to participate in a user feedback session.
They don’t have to open it up to everyone on the internet. They can still limit the virtual participation to pre-selected guild leaders. Just allow the guild leaders to participate virtually via streaming and webcams.

Pop quiz time! How many of the 13 paragraphs in this blog addressed bug fixes? If you guess 12 then you are correct
) more respect for them.

Thanks that worked except it was the level 65 planet I had to visit that allowed me to reset my mission.
