Is this for real?

Ok thanks guys I was trying to suicide it like before 1.2... My class is juggernaut, I will try to just fight through it and see what happens

I can solo old enemies now. I cannot seem to solo lights out any longer. Right? // yeah I know it's an MMO. I do plenty of MM when I do raids and flashpoints. Grinding dailies is, well, a good solo time...

I agree, especially what with all the loading screens. God forbid your toon is on Corelia or Tattooine when you are doing this. Loading takes forever.

You have two ways of going about it (1) pick up slicing and run slicing missions till you are broke slicing missions that return "sliced tech parts" will bring you mats needed to craft augments. All slicing missions, if they crit, have a chance to bring back an augment pattern. The pattern may be for your skill (synth) or for one of the other skills (armstech, armormech, artifice). They all sell on GTN fairly well, so sell the ones you do not need (2) just buy the schematic for what you want and the mats on GTN. this will probably be a more expensive route. Once you have the mat and the patterns, craft and RE them. It took me about 10 of each to discover a blue and 10 of each blue to discover a purple. Certain patterns have a much rarer drop rate. For example, Might Augment for synthweaving seems to be the rarest, and they go for 50..100k on GTN. Patterns for augments with presense are the cheapest.

Someone made a good point in another thread. What's the point of wanting gear with augment slot if you can only do that, without losing the set bonus, to campaign tier gear, which, if you have, then, presumably, you cleared most of the hard mode ops content so you are not in desperate need of additional stats that are brought by using augments. Fix this, Bioware.

Sad face. I know I read 1,000 posts that set bonus does not transfer, but when I saw that tool tip I got all hopeful.

So I crit-crafted a pair of pants (reinforced Phobium greaves) figuring I can go from 5/5 down to 4/5 without losing any set bonus abilities because the most you need is 4/5. I put all my Columi armor and mods and the augment and equip it. Hovering over the armor pieces shows set bonus 5/5, NOT 4/5. I am only wearing 4 Columi pieces and 1 orange piece with all Columi mods. So, what does ths mean??? Set bonus for Columi goes with the armr mod????

Especially since Rakata belt and braces that my Synth can craft is not the top tier gear anymore, yeah, having them be BoP is absolutely unnecessary...

So, I have this orange armor piece, "Warbringer Body Armor". I think it looks great on a female warrior and now with the crafting changes allowing a possibility to crit craft orange gear I am wondering if there is a way for me to make one of those with an augment slot. I know I can't RE the one I have (and even if I could, I wouldn't, for a 20% chance because I like it). I don't believe I've ever seen a schematic for a chestpiece, only head and legs. Out of luck on this one?

Early pre-cancels get a special "Unfounder" title.

4. Players can now use emotes while stunned, dead or incapacitated.

My point is, it is fairly easy for them to please both you and me: To please you, they reward winning. To please me, they used to reward participation. There is no downside for you in that, is there? You get better rewards if you win. I get some rewards if I lose, so I can still gear up, albeit at a slower pace. What is the downside to you? You will fight better geared opponents and have a better time. Or we quit and the servers will be even more dead... but hey, you have your super gear, with no one to show it off for.

Otherwise its the same thing over and over again, a team of brand new 50s getting steamrolled by a team in full BM gear. Those that quit early get no reward. Those that stick around and lose get no reward. As a result, the team in full BM gets even more comms/gear and the poor slobs who just hit 50 get nothing. Fix this, Bioware

It won't be like that, that's for sure. Start of the game, the opponents cap 2 turrets. Two people on your team quit. You sit there wondering if you should stay because you are a good player or quit because you know you are going to lose and get jack **** for rewards. If you stay, you feel good about yourself but bad about the time wasted. In the end, you did not enjoy the game. If you quit, you feel like you've done something you should't have and, once again, your level of enjoyment is lowered. Fix this, Bioware.

Umm... I just want them to put the warzone rewards back the way they were. They had a good thing going and now they screwed it up. If you want one-shot kills, roll an IA.

I have never, *ever* quit a losing warzone before. The rewards were decent, and there was an incentive to stay in a losing match (comms and credits) as well as an incentive to win (daily/weekly). This patch will change that. No way I am staying in a losing warzone for -- what was it on someone's screenshot in another thread -- 140 credits and 30 comms? And to those who say "well this is how it was when I was a kid" and "we didn't get nuthin' for losing", my answer is that here I am paying for a game that should be fun. If I am not enjoying it, I don't have to pay for it. Fix this, Bioware.

Currently at 19240 without a stim. Just over 20k with a stim. So y'all agree the defence stats here outweigh the loss of 16 end?

So, we down Karagga last night, and lo and behold, a sith warrior columi mainhand token drops, just for me (jugg/immportal) I head over to the vendor and hover over the specs for "Soresu's Razor" and what do I see? I see that its endurance is -26 compared to my "Champion War Leader Saber". total spec diff, if i were to equip Soresu's Razor, is as follows: Endurance -26 Strength +21 Shield +48 Defense +19 even if i swap the $125k crystal into it, it will still be -16 endurance. Is it worth it for the price of losing 160HP?

We had a somewhat difficult time with it last nite so I went to research strategies... There's this in the sticky that says to keep him on the same puzzle on the right, and that "You just can't fire the same laser until you move the big III piece to another slot. Then you can move that piece right back to that same laser and solve." Then a guildie told me that he heard it no longer works. Is there a confirmation that this did indeed get fixed?

Soon as any of my guildies are up for it, I will do boaring party. No one wanted to do it last night, so... we did Battle of Ilum!!! I would say it was fairly easy. I felt that my gear was adequate, and we only wiped twice once to Krel Thak's shield and once when we hit the enrage timer on Serevin. Considering that for two of us it was the first time running it, it was not bad, I think. Oh yeah, and Jaesa is going to make me nice Rakata bracers out of the biometric alloy I picked up

If the two of you are going to always be running flashpoints, roll a tank and a healer. I am not sayin' that the DPS job is trivial. I'm just sayin' that tank and healer working together is often the difference between a success and a wipe.

Is there a kind of agreed ranking of hardmode flashpoints from "easier" to "harder"? For example, I am fairly comfortable with doing the HM Black Talon now, did it several times, last two without wiping. I am a Jugg/tank if that makes any difference... What would you guys recommend that I try next?

I have a hardmode question. I am trying to gear up for hardmodes. I read the guides, doing the dailies, etc. My main reason for wanting to do a BT hardmode is I want to get a biometric crystal alloy so I can craft the 2 pieces of Rakata gear that Synthweavers can do. I read that Yadira Bubblegum drops a columi token and biometric crystals. Ok, good, I want them. Is there only one crystal and one columi token drop for the whole party? Or does everyone get 1 of each, like the columi crystals? If not, is everyone gonna roll "need" for the alloy unless we talk about it ahead of time?

yellow is not all that unique but you do not have it listed, so that's obviously one to add to your collection.
