  1. I still feel bad so I think I'll just make a Juggernaut instead so I never get called bad for healing...

    don't do that. keep on leveling a healer, it will pay off later ;) healers don't have to wait long for groups in group finder and there is generally more demand for healers than for other classes, especially dps.

     

    i had one situation when i did taral v as a healer on my, usually dps specced, scoundrel. because of few bad pulls from the tank and generally zerging dpses few ppl died :) one of the dpses initiated a kick vote for me, without giving any reason. i left myself and after 10 minutes found another group, still as a healer. after we completed the other flashpoint i checked the guy, who wanted to kick me. he was still in taral v :)

     

    general rule: don't annoy your healer ;) it can be very hard to find another one.

  2. I'm a person for those small details in things, and to add some extra parts to what before looked like a very flat multi colored shirt is in my opinion appreciated

    i am too a fan of small details and i completed the trailblazers set just because it had "flat multi colored shirt" and goggleless headpiece. it was perfect for my IA, because you know, IA should never be easy to recognize and wearing bland gear was perfect for it.

    now the set is just awful.

    i can unerstand the changes to phantom set. it being not as advertised and all, but trailblazers set was never advertised so it didnt need to be changed.

     

    but i am sort of happy that i didnt manage to spend any more credits/BH comms on my phantom and trailblazers sets to make them my main gear for those particular characters. now i will just wear generic endgame gear because, as i see it, going for a certain look for a character is something that can be broken at any time :/

  3. who cares if dps left.. new one iwll come in before you spell 'que us'...

    made my day :D

     

    on the topic:

    as many have said before, wait time on a tank is basically non existent whereas it can take up to 40 minutes on a dps to get a group. i stopped to que as dps on my scoundrel mostly because i got all the gear i need and still was able to save enough BH comms to buy campaign armorings for my tank :) now i sometimes que as a healer just because its faster that way. fortunately i manage to get decent groups where i can just spam all the green-iconed abilities and it works ;)

     

    someone said that there are terrible new players on TofN. my experience is different. from a tank point of view the worst player is a dps who is overgeared (meaning he did all the HM FPs many times and just wants the BH comms). that person will pull every group and won't wait for the tank to do his job. and it is frustrating to regain agro if high dps toon will get it first :p so i don't mind running with newbies because, generally, they will do what the experienced player says ;)

     

    DPS is far too easy to play once geared, pick a target, kill it; pick a boss, remember it's trick, then kill it, etc. Repeated bad groups, due to gear, players, or just bad luck, make playing a primary role far less desirable. It's the same reward for less work after all.

    there is your balance: less work, the same reward, longer wait times ;)

    different things from different stages of my PCs development. i never replace all of the components at once :)

  5. i am leveling my guardian tank now and i have a question :)

    how much def chance/shield chance/absorb rating is reasonable for guardian tank?

    i have searched for this info for some time but none of the guides really says it clear enough :)

    i have lev50 vanguard and she is basically shielding type of tank (12%/53%/75% - def/shield/absorb respectively, with buffs). to what level should i stack defense and other stats on my guardian? can i completely ignore shield and go for defense only?

  6. I see no reason why they can't bill on the same day each month other than accounting gimmicks.

    because months have different number of days. if they charged for a month, then people would complain why do they have to pay full price for only 28 (29) days in february.

    30 days billing periods are designed to remove those kind of complaints and to simplify billing. i think most of subscription based services nowadays work like that.

  7. i'm using SWTOR unleashed.

    when i define my setup i then have to click the Launch SWTOR Unleashed button. all is done (ramdrive is created, files are moved, links are created etc) and it works.

    and now i would like to revert the changes and play without the ramdrive. i click dismount ramdrive button and the program closes itself. ramdrive is gone but the whole setup is still there. so i have to restart the program.

    if i click the remove button the setup is reversed but the ramdrive is still there and the dismount ramdrive button is grayed out.

     

    my question is:

    is there something i'm missing or is it designed this way?

     

    PS You have a typo on the button for Launch SWTOR Unleashed. You missed h ;)

     

    edit:

    i think i found a possible reason why it is that way:

    so that if i would like to play with ramdrive and some time after without i wouldn't have to recreate ramdrive and recopy all the files. if so then an option to remove ramdrive with the whole setup would be nice :)

  8. The reason I ask is I haven't gotten a single schematic in the last 2 days with roughly 15 tries each on 2 different items. (a level 18 hilt & a level 17 enhancement).

    it is completely random and 15 tries is not much :)

    i was RE implants for past few days and sometimes i got new schematic after 2-3 tries and sometimes i RE 20 items and got nothing.

    I'm not sure if the level or rarity of the item being RE matter. i made too few attempts to see a pattern.

    good thing is that RE is not limited to just one schematic / basic item so you can RE the same item over and over and learn different new schematics.

     

    There's also an argument as to where you RE, some, including mysel say if you RE from a safe zone like your ship or cantina you stand a better chance of success. I've noticed a higher success rate in cantinas than in the field, perceived or not it may be worth trying to see if you notice a difference.

    i thought about it and also tried RE in different locations but i didnt see any improvement / decrease on the chances to learn new schematics.

  9. i was thinking about a similar thing: scoundrel gets this passive ability that increases dmg dealt to bleeding targets.

    now my questions are:

    1. do i have to use my vital shot to make target bleed or can i just benefit from vital shot (or another bleeding effect) of other players?

    2. if a target suffers from multiple bleeding effects (vital shots from 2 scoundrels for instance) do i benefit from just one of them or from both = i deal even more dmg?

    3. how should it work? :)

  10. right click the chat window tab (general in this case) and choose "chat preferences" or options or whatever (cant tell for sure, im at work and i dont have acces to swtor atm)

    in the chat preferences you can define what types of messages will be shown in this particular chat window. just find those that you dont want and uncheck them.

    you can also create custom chat windows and define them to show only guild msg or another types of messages.

  11. Well I have been trying this out outside of the game, just going to various sites and pressing the Print Screen button.....and nothing happens or at least I am not given a prompt that something has happened.

    outside the game, in various windows apps it doesn't prompt. the key "print screen" stores the screenshot in your clipboard so you have to manually paste it into paint or any similar program and then save it.

    alt + prt scr makes a screenshot of the active window only.

     

    in game it might be redefined to work in another manner (to save the ss directly to your documents folder) or not, i'm not sure - i'm still waiting in queue to log in :).
