Will HK-55 be something that only those who sub during January and Febuary get, or is he just something like an early access to us like Niko was, that everyone can get eventually?

know what since everyone keeps complaining nonstop, Bioware should just nerf the crud out of everypone, just nerf everyone down to 1 hp, and all their attacks and heals do 1 damage 1 heal, and that's it, let it be hello kitty island where every class has no differences whatsoever, where rotation is pointless and thinking of a way to take down an enemy is unneeded, you just gotta hit them once and yay you're rewarded.

I'll just say it again, just put everything back to where it was, and just leave all the nerfs and all that strictly to the PvP side of things. We play this for the story, and to relax from the stresses of real life, not to get frustrated, cause even though companions in heal stance are pretty freaking stupid cause they stand there sometimes and do nothing, at least prior to this patch their heals made up for it. This does not mean just fix whatever bug is wrong with them and leave the heal power as is, no the heal power is far too weak for all the health you have given us and the amount of damage that enemies do, especially in heroic Star Fortress some of the elites(mainly 1 saber Knights) and a few of the champions(the mini boss knights for achievement) hit for stupid amounts even if you are in 216-220 gear, as an example i could be 3-4 shot by one of the champion knights prior to this patch if i did not have my companion on healing or if it just derped out and stood there. Since someone will ask, lvl 65 madness sorc mostly rating 216+. I get that you want to balance the game, but you do not do that by hitting it with a wrecking ball and than beating it to death with a hammer.

i got an ego problem I'll admit, i like my character seeming to be important, but honestly, i rather liked it when my companion got the agro over me cause it meant that my character spent less time on their back from the endless knockdowns/knockbacks/throws/you get the idea.

well great... had the Star Fortresses down to knowing the mechanics and knowing what to do, where to stand and controlling my comp at the same time, just so it can be something i could do when bored; now with this, and seeing how healing was nerfed around 75%, i think i am just going to avoid the game now till story chapters are released, tired of grinding the ops for beginner gear with idiots who cannot seem to understand to not stand in stupid, than the hard versions for slightly better gear for a dps class that the gear really does not benefit beyond 2 maybe 4 set pieces (Madness Sorc), other than the mods and enhancements. Honestly i am just so tired of nerfs, madness gets nerfed all to hell, than lightning than the other classes. Now by the looks of it the comps are just for show from what i am reading, from 20k heal down to 6k when the devs beef up HP to 70K+ at lvl 65, really just makes it look like the hassle is just not worth it. Seriously, just keep all your nerfs to PvP only, at least than it makes sense.

tried that just now, and it still will not let me access the thread i am wanting to look at. I got it bookmarked and whenever i click it i get that, same happens whenever i click a link that leads to another thread, it is getting a bit, frustrating >.<

Am i the only one getting the issue of: " you do not have permission to access this page - Forum posting is limited to Subscribers of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Become a Subscriber today! ("@giveusevenmoremoney)"" even though i am a freaking subscriber lol? If you got it, how did you get around it? cause it is annoying the heck out of me.

Need an Anaheim.

In my guild one of the members are saying that if you have a full set of purple 186 gear, you get a 10% bonus to all your stats, and that it is better than 190 gear, even if the 190 is modified for the stats you want, and that it is the same for 192 and 198, as long as the modifications are not lettered like 37B/37A. Is this true? Would like an official response to clear this up.

I came back after a few years break last week, quiet a few new things, and i am enjoying a few things, only downside for me are the caps on comms, and the lockouts on ops. =(

Like what others have said, those guides are pretty much for end game gear. A little bit of a suggestion while you are leveling, just go full dps role unless needed otherwise, and keep your companion's gear updated, not every single level, but more like every 5 or so. A little bit oif an extra tip, if you got the Shadow of Revan expansion, save up some of your basic comms for Ziost gear, it is cheap and slightly better than basic, than save up your elite comms if you can, because supposedly there is going to be an update soon that will lower elite gear to basic and ultimate to elite.

Since your starting out, take this tip with you no matter what, pick up everything, sell all greys and stuff you or your companion do not use, do not sell mats you can use for crafting, with crafting, anything you craft reverse engineer, that way you get more mats. And finally do not believe everything you read in general about 75% of them are trolls, there are alot of nice people out there, but there are also alot of jerks, do not let that deter you, hope you enjoy the game.

yeah I had a feeling they already were lol, but i wanted to throw my voice in =P

Servers: It is very obvious that servers are, well in abundance, but lacking players. I play on the Darth Sion server, and for about an hour I was the ONLY one in fleet, and usually 2-4 other people on any planet i usually go to. what I'm trying to suggest is maybe merge some servers since the populace is so scattered and many of the servers have such large empty spaces. Combat: PvP: I suggest getting rid of the must face target for pvp and make it to where if your targeting some one your targeting follows them, so players cannot just exploit regular attacking killing by just continually jumping behind some one, this does not work on npcs they just auto turn around and attack. Also lower the accuracy of melee and ranged when you jump around and move around while attacking., i say this because if you add reality, yes the horrible r word, to this concept, your usually going to always miss. or just get 1-2 attacks in. Combat: PVE: This is on the Juggernaut, it would be really nice to see an increase to threat generation with the tank stance, cause I'm sure I'm not the only one, but if you only generate 50% threat, and you do not hit that hard, dps can easily out threat you with their damage. What the suggestion is, is to add an increase the threat generation of the tank stance to 75% or even 100% like the companion tanks, or add more aoe threats. thats about it, time to sit back and wait for the flaming.

ok thats all nice and good, now get off this game and get back in dat kitchen and make us some sandwiches!! (joking) i know some female gamers, and i unfortunately knew guys who actually pretended to be girls, its one of the main reasons most men do not trust some one who says they are actually a girl till they are on vent lol or some sort of voice chat thing.
