How would it break pvp? both sides would have their companions out, companion owner dies , poof companion dies too.

We spend the majority of our time with our companions as we level to 50, it seems wasteful to have to put them aside an not have any use for them once you start doing Operations and grinding Warzones. The added dimension of everyone being able to use companions in PVP would breath new life into the game. For operations I can see how it might be hard to balance, but PVP would be a blast. And with patch 1.2 , the legacy system won't be totally USELESS, since we would be using our companions which are REQUIRED.

Its the same build as you would for pure healing spec, and if you arent also killing people when necessary, you are doing it wrong. SWTOR didnt make healers into weaklings, they might not be as strong as pure dps but its still enough that they cant ignore you.

The difference between a CLICKER and someone who uses the Mouse + keybound buttons, is namely the amount of things they can DO at the same time. IF you click you can ONLY do one thing with the mouse at a time, VERSUS someone using a combination of mouse and keybindings. Now there really IS no way you can use the mouse to click a button AND use it to move the camera at the same time. ARE you able to do the content being a clicker, answer yes. Are there circumstances where being someone who uses both mouse and keybinds is superior to a clicker? Answer is yes. So clearly this argument is stupid, since clickers want to change the question of whether or not clicking is just as good as using both mouse + keybinds which it clearly is NOT. Using both mouse + keybinds is faster, and allows for a wider range of activities than a "clicker" will ever be able to do.

Why do the developers feel that its fair to break the turrets on the republic side patch after patch? When republic is outnumbered 2 or even 3 to 1 most times, its the only equalizer. When will the blatant favoritism for empire stop?

Code the area so that the SIDE that is out numbered can use Companions. The Republic is generally outnumbered at least 2 to 1 if not more, having companions out to even up the numbers would give each side what they want, PVP. Who in their right mind is gonna go into battle when you can clearly see the other sides numerical superiority. Even the playing field and you will get fights.

There are a few hats that make twi'leks look weird, but I found some that gave my Scoundrel the look of a space doctor ( has a doctors mask ). You always have the choice to turn off hats if what you have doesnt look right. Its best to go with the race that fits how you veiw your character no matter the race.

Why is this not fixed?

IF you have enough people to run 2x 8 mans, I would recommend you try it both ways to see which your players prefer. The differences are there, but it is a matter of opinion which is more enjoyable to do. 16 mans provide IMO a better experience, since there is more leeway in who does what role with more players. Having more people also just seems a better experience overall since there are very few times that many can gather together to do anything worthwhile. The difficulty might be a bit higher, but that is a good thing, since there are alot of people who feel these operations are too easy to begin with, it will give your raiders more of a feeling of accomplishment being able to down bosses in 16.

WHY for the love of the Force, do my stupid crew think its a good idea to pop up a message in the middle of combat ,saying they completed their stupid assignment? Would it be that hard to code it, so that if you are in combat , it gets put on pending? I love my crew, but every time they do that, I want to keel haul them and then space them out the airlock.

Why is this not fixed yet? EVERY day gotta win 4 or 5 Warzones to get 3 wins for daily. IS this a Republic side only issue?

The OPS leader gets MASSIVE SPAM whenever a COMPANION can be summoned by someone just out of range of the group who then gets closer. This is not only ANNOYING , its detrimental to the OPS leader being able to coordinate things due to all the spam in his CHAT. EASY FIX , if you are in an OPS group, you cant summon a companion PERIOD, problem solved no more spam.

So WoW had dual spec, and after BC paladins changed in alot of fundamental ways, to become best tank , best healer. Never could you spec as one role and expect to be able to do another role worth a damn as any class , so not sure what your point is. Or be some of each and be worst at every role.

That would be fine IF I was playing this alone, then my choice of role wouldnt affect anything but my own enjoyment. When you do an Operation flashpoint, you need to have enough people to fill each role in the raid. IF the Raid group can not fill up with enough for each role, then you have a problem. Having to pay to Respec is fine, having to pay such an excessive amount if you have respecced too many times , seems bit too extreme. All just so things can move forward for your Raid group. If you think its FINE to level a 2nd toon to 50 and gear it up , you clearly are out of it.

If you think that as a healer or tank its viable to hybrid your build , you need to sit back down and stop posting. You either spec fully for the role or waste other peoples time when you can not handle doing your role. This is a social game, being able to work together as a team requires people to be able to do their role to its fullest extent or risk failing when things get tight.

My question is why do we have a cost at all to respec? It seems to double every time you respec within a period of time ( zero , 1300 , 2600, 5200 , 11400, 22800 , 46800 , 93000 ) where does it stop? ) Why is there a penalty to the player for wanting to be the right spec for an activity they want to do. Whether that means one spec for PVP or another for a raid / flashpoint or even to level up. Having Dual-spec should be a no-brainer , if not at least cap the cost at a lower amount.

WHY do they feel the need to bother me with stupid pop ups during deadly combat? IS it that hard to have them wait til AFTER you are out of combat and can spare the time to click accept? Everytime they do that I want to jettison them out the airlock for being rude.

There are 2 powers that are only usable from stealth that I can think of. Tranquilizer dart and Shoot first. Alot of your powers can be used and not break stealth, so having to go stealth to bring up a bar for 2 powers seems a waste. Just activate another quickslot bar and hotkey stealth powers from there. Cover bar has alot more and I beleive gunslingers get alot of use from it.

Been seeing alot of people ask what stat POWER does. Does anyone have good info on it?
