It's not necessarily the Ilum thing or SOA being over nerfed. It's the hundreds of small bugs and crap I continue to run into when playing. It just wears at you. It's sort of like playing a great shooter game at 10-15 frames a second. You love the content, but you're always on edge cause everything is choppy and you "miss" because the server or your computer sucks. Small things-- Whether it's my abilities not firing off, ****** textures, random phasing issues or even something as simple as an items labeled as a Rakate gun having the same stats as a Tionese gun. Spending hours trying to fix a bug to move on just sucks. Questing, leveling up, doing the flashpoints and space battles was a blast. Don't get me wrong. I loved the Smuggler story.

Put in a ticket about it. Bioware is aware of it, but if they can't fix something easy like this...then =( I've had my pro Rakata 126 rating off hand for 2 weeks now. Black-blue ftw right?!

Has anyone verified if there were similar changes for 8 man? The patch notes specifically mention 16 man when talking about the lightning balls.

Van'Persie Gooner for life!

Gunslinger PvP is one of those awkward things. You're rarely recognized as MvP if you have the most damage, killing blows or objective points. A healer will win that 90% of the time, even if their extremely mediocre. Right now, Operatives and Scoundrels are probably more consistent across the board because they can solo a lot easier, stealth and have more CC. The 50's only bracket will drastically change things. It was pretty unfair, me sitting at 16.5k hps in mostly Rakata PvE gear using 3 globals blow through level 15 Sith. Oh, IA Operatives do that to me too at 50? Damn...

Gunslingers tear apart people in PvP. I'm consistently #1 in damage and killing blows. Move along...

I think I was level 30 when I did this quest... Use Flash grenade to cc sith, then turn on the fat dude. Burn him, use cool head, keep burning him. When the sith runs at you, use your knock back root etc. I found it to be a real joke. Granted, I have epic mastercraft guns from a guildie, fully modified orange gear minus wrists and my companions have ****** gear as well. Guess that's what you get when you don't rush content and take things slow.
