Worked, ty \o/

This is why I keep suggesting that they're purposely neglecting the game, or making comical content additions or mistakes or oversights, for their own amusement. There's way too much wrong with the way this game is ran for it to be a mere mistake. There's no way a company can accidentally fail on such a large scale over and over and over again. They're all sitting at their desks laughing at us, probably.

This. The PvP servers need to be destroyed and PvE servers need to have a better OWPvP system introduced, with rewards, similar to what SWG had. You can already flag up for PvP voluntarily on PvE servers. You'd be surprised how many people actually do, too. In fact, PvE servers have a very high number of PvPers on them that won't play on PvP servers simply because they're so dead. No other reason.

Don't forget the bugs, imbalanced team matcher, mismatched VO, population imbalance, badly executed content releases (yanking all our interactive and class-unique companions for a bunch of shallow characters that everyone has access to, can't speak with, and can't customize)..... Don't get me wrong. SWTOR has been headed in the right direction. Very, very, very slowly. Very slowly. So slowly that by the time it gets there, it'll probably be too dead and have a reputation too bad for it to survive. You need to get your act together now, EA.

Maybe they could post in The Shadowlands forum. Since, you know, it's an issue purely and exclusively related to The Shadowlands and most people won't be talking about it in General. But who needs logic anyway?

QFT a million times

I've seen it go down alone, before. As in, just The Shadowlands, no other servers. Maybe I haven't noticed this happening to other servers because I never check, but if this crashing issue is exclusive to Shadowloands, regardless of how infrequent, then it needs to be dealt with. I'm disappointed to see that it hasn't been. But, then again, this is EA we're talking about.

You'll find that most hardcore ops groups are those group nazis. PvP is about who's best, not what's best. PvE is about what's best, not who's best. PvP = knowing your class, knowing your build, being intuitive, adapting to an ever-changing environment of thinking opponents and allies. PvE = knowing your rotations, knowing your locations, having the mathematically best damage output possible while you stand in the same spot, fight the same enemies, with the same abilities and the same stats and the same builds and the just-right class over and over and over. There are tons of disciplines that are considered sub-par or even useless for PvE, yet no discipline is quite useless in PvP, and the different gear combinations and stat adjustments you can use and still be both viable and competitive is innumerable.

If a class is over-played, it's probably also over-noobed. Don't let an excess of sorcs/sages or assassins/shadows stop you from playing one. I, personally, have 3 shadows and an assassin. I'm simply in love with the class and play it very well. It's one of the most versatile classes; extremely self-sufficient, very sturdy and has the potential to put out tons of damage. Don't limit yourself to only the tank spec, either. Of my three shadows, Infiltration is my favorite. I smother it in tank gear and it wrecks everything. I was doing a Taral V the other night and, when the entire rest of my group wiped, I killed what was left of both of the vine cat bosses alone and managed to get away with 4% health. As a DPS! Moral of the story: I probably wouldn't have been able to do that on a tank spec. It just doesn't have enough damage-to-survivability balance until much higher levels, and even then, I find it highly questionable. Mind, though, that if you're a PvE player, you're severely limiting your choices, just by being that. Don't even bother with anything other than jugg/guardian, sniper/slinger, ataru-form marauder/sentinel, or sorc/sage. And make sure you learn your accursed PvE rotations.

Sounds like Scoundrel to me.

Well I deleted my commando healer after 3.0, but I kept my scoundrel, if that tells you anything. Yes, she was over 55.

Cartel Market packs are consummable items for sale in the Cartel Market that come and go throughout the year. They're listed in the "Packs" section. They usually come in a single-purchase version or a discounted 24-pack version. Each pack, when opened, has a chance to grant a number of different items and, sometimes, some very rare and profitable items. They're a gamble because you never know for certain what you'll get in them. The named packs all contain pieces to an outfit or few.

Most people use keybind layouts that are extremely specific to their own needs and comforts. Use what works best for you. I use an Orbweaver and a Logitech G600, and I'd post my keybind layout, but the Naga Epic isn't capable of doing what the G600 is, so it wouldn't work for you.

Yes. The general appearance of the outfit will remain the same or change slightly to cover up more sensitive areas (or show a little more skin, in the case of the Sensuous Dress top), but otherwise, each unisex outfit will mold to the body of the wearer.

Pub or imp?

I like contraband cartel slot machines.

Sounds like a good reason to try pub side, tbh.

Active PvP guild with teamspeak sums up about 90% of all PvP guilds Suffice it to say, 90% of all PvP guilds aren't "best".

What is conquest exactly?

Has been fixed in 3.0.2

What's top-end group PvP like in this game? Last time I experienced group PvP in a tippytop PvP guild was in STO, and it was basically everyone on the same class in the same ship in the same species for the absolute best stats, and then the whole group coordinates a ridiculously OP debuff/buff wipe combo that leaves each target completely defenseless, then wipes that target in under 10 seconds, cloaks up, waits, repeats. Was honestly extremely dull and restrictive. STO was/is a horribly designed game, though, with zero balance and an awful community. So what's it like here?

Might try asking around on the fleet or asking members of ops groups, as well. Many of them will have numerous people from the same guild who need runs, but not everyone's online.
