Simply and rather fast fix. I see no need to merge existing schematics and screw the credit refund. BW, just go through the list and identify all double and useless schematics, then delete the green and blue items of it form the game. (But keep the artifact ones, since these meant some true effort to RE them... took me over a week each to RE purple highend enhancements!) Also some tiers can be deleted completly (again, not the purples ones), getting an enhancement tier for lvl 45, 47, and 49 makes totally no sense, since (at least I) players outlevel those items before they got more than a couple blues one RE'ed. Also, please do add more (secondary) filters to the crafting windows, like to only show items with a certain stat.

Where is the promised restraining bolt for droids...?

XP bonus to anyone playing an alt all the way is pretty much pointless, since once the alt is ahead of content lvl the xp rewards are trivialised (+5 xp for mission turnin) and without such a bonus I play my alts ahead of content lvl most of the time, thanks to rest xp, space missions and FP runs. xp comes easy in this game, no further boost needed.

Problem is not a lack of mentoring but the lack of the so badly needed LFG-Tool. Also any high lvl can help anyone with lowe lvl heroics now, had this happening with quiet a few FPs actually. XP gain drops of course (but is still above zero) but all other rewards stay the same... gear and item drops, social points, mission rewards (including the huge xp hit for it), affection points, light/dark points... thus its just an xp matter. The high lvl comes to help out and would you rather rush with a lvl50 through a heroic in a couple of minutes, reap all the rewards and move on, or have him "mentor" and take a lot longer for the same thing just for some extra xp? Doubt any lvl50 will need that couple hundreds legacy xp that badly. So, in my eyes for SWTOR, mentoring would change very little. In other games it made sense, with AA xp and mobs not dropping loot if killed by high lvls and so on.

Needed, totally. You want to get gear from PVP, than let that be PVP gear. Should be 90% expertise on stats. If you dont want expertise on gear, then remove all armor and weap rewards for PVP, else people just gonna get their PVP, because that easier to get. (not talking about faster though) You just do PVP, you get your PVP gear eventually, no matter what. That would be wrong if that gear would be topnotch PVE too, ridiculing all PVE efforts.

Good to know that this is coming. A simple toggle for "use this chars keybind preferences globally for all characters on this server/export keybindings to all characters" would totally do it for me, since all my chars are getting the same keybinds anyway. Mapping the hotbars for each char anew is so annoying,,, (like just now with the new target marker toggles, having to map that up to 8times just feels stupid)

Some of those are really cool and should totally make it ingame! Great Work! Thanks for sharing!

You are a Tera employee or what? Tera is yet another boring Manga comic style game. There is nor eason whatsoever for -say- WOW, FF and Rift players to switch to that game, expect that they may gotten bored and want to see new (Manga) graphics. If you like that stuff just go there and stay there and -in the name of the Force- stop posting here.

As dps Sorc I have done fine with Andronikos and then with Ashara and SOrc does get a 2nd tank: Xalek, who of course is bugged and gets no benefit from shield and absorption gear! Thus Xalek is the worst companion to me (sadly I relaised that after gearing him up and that way I am kinda stuck with him now till I managed to gear up another one, maybe Khem again, since Ashara wears slave girl outfit now LOL) Why is Xalek the worst? Because he got no story or quests behind him after you get him, the conversations are bring and just end at some point with his swear of allegiance. Boring, he feels like a lategame added appendix. Plus he is BUGGED which makes him the worst tank pet of all, low chance of shielding and light armor = total paper tank.

Did you guys found a "SWTOR is doomed (subs decline)" church yet?

Cycling with target-next-friendly for heals? Now that sounds totally efficient...not. L2P With targetwindow lag u need how long to cycle trhough 15 other people in ur OPgroup? Hilarious, really.

There are none. Crafted purple gear is on par with Tionese. Since 1.2 you can RE some of Black Hole gear and learn schematics that way, but no idea if that is true for mods too.

Also one (without CE or sec key) can not get customizations for her. But could be worse, that Xalek is not affected by shild and absporption ratings, is really ******.

Thank you for the table. Just looking at the list shows how INSANE the current system is. Also this is only a bloody third of the green lvl40+ enhancements. I totally regret buying even one of the lower tiers (was for lvl44 and 47 i think? highest tier being for 49) Did you read about the bug that makes your char perma crash and thus unplayable if you have too many schematics memorized and a lot of crafting material stashed in your bank? My own crew skill windows lags badly whenever I open it due too that insane number of schematics. If anyone reads this who is leveling up their artifce, do not buy those schematics at all. Do buy only the lvl49 schematics that you do need and RE those. You will likely be lvl50 before you got ur first purple researched.

25 yards is how many meters in game?

False statement. Higend crafting is equal to tionese, not columni. Daily commendations even buy better barrels/hilts/armor mods than crafted stuff. (though I am not aware of all crafting changes in 1.2) The tokens in question dont drop in hardmode FPs. (except in the new one) So if you farmed all HM you will have full columni minus ear, implants and weaps. However, people STOP WHINING about not getting raid loot. The universe simply dont revolve around ur personal uberness.

Simply a false statement, check columni and rakata verndor. Only Tionese gear is all buyable with gems and comms.

Why did you take the taxi? Base with daily quests and Flashpoints (FE and BoI) is right next to the Shuttle landing site...

You better read up on the dev statements. +41 is the end of the line for color crystals. There are no plans whatsoever to add higher crystal (stat) tiers.

Funny, all I wanted to do when escalating to stage2 was to undress and jump down the next cliff (or attack the closest biggest mobs) and then find the next rakghoul to reinfect myself. 8-)

My opnion as well... However I did simply accept now that BW wants their little zombies in SWTOR as well. This event was still cool though.

Yes and No, spawning a Rakghoul from an exploded player, okay.... though the exploding and infecting did open teh door for grief players at it was. And what lvl would that Rakghoul be? Ur lvl? >>> lvl50 infected griefer goes to newbie qorld, explodes there and has fun watching the lvl50 Rak killing the lvl1s ..really not cool. Losing control of my PC? A big NOGO or you seriously expect it to be any fun to sit on front of your screen doing nothing for several minutes and watching a stupid Rakghoul running around until someone else kills it so you can continue playing?

I totally disagree. The progressive quest unlock was a lot fo fun to me, giving the whole thing a spirit of exploration and whats new today over most of teh event. Without it, I would have finished the thing on a day and wouldnt have come back. Thus Ive done the event everyday. Thank you BW for a fun week!
