Could 2 stealth classes that are up to vorgath sneak in and try to make a droid spawn to confirm if it's fixed?

Matrix cube and proc relics were already better than burst relics. Burst was decent for some fights, though. Currently the war hero and battlemaster boundless ages relics are better than the willpower matrix but probably not some of the other ones. -Nish

You can vote people out who can't do well in the group (but I wouldn't abuse it). People will catch on. You probably are getting a bunch of people who have been unable to get groups. They'll learn the instances just like they do in other games and it'll be even easier than before as people learn better ways to zoon through instances. -Nish

Quit the game and come back in. -Nish

Knight of Alderaan and Emissary of Teral are my two favorites. I use them the most on my two characters who have them. My sage has just about every title you can get for the class (He's missing some social titles) and doesn't have Warlord/Elite Warlord yet. BTW, Alderaan is by far my favorite planet in the game. Very very nice to look at and the music is nice too. I'm kind of wondering when 'of the Jedi Council' will come out and hope it's reasonably difficult to obtain.

Would it be possible with something like a z79 board to put the whole game on a ramdisk? -Nish

Would it be possible with an x79 board to move all of swtor to a ramdisk? If so, could someone explain how to move the program there when it sets up files in other areas? Thanks, -Nish

It's not fixed. You can't get mats back from them... I just tried (at least not ones I've crafted myself).

People have crit the implants. I have yet to hear of a crit craft augmented relic. I haven't heard of many relics being crafted, though. I'd like to hear if someone gets one.

Unfortunately unless they change it you're out of luck there. However, there are rakata and black hole/campaign armorings that are non specific (drops off of ops bosses). They drop every raid. With the new ones being able to be reversed (and they're perfect for that) an artifice could make several of them for your droid. I wouldn't be cheap but it'd be something interesting to do that other people might not.

PLEASE allow for a way to make YOUR debuffs on a boss to be larger to some degree and have a countdown like the cooldowns on abilities. I need to know when my weaken mind is going to drop to maximize my dps. Main tank windows would be nice too for the healers. Thanks, -Nish

It was stated a while back that black hole gear (armor/clothes) could not be re'd. However, the campaign can and the belt and bracers would produce a schematic (if learned) that produced a belt or bracer with the same stats as the campaign gear itself. Unfortunately, you can't do that with black hole for some reason (why I don't know because apparently you can with the mods and the implants). But what it does mean is that you 'should' be able to reverse campaign belts and possibly learn to craft campaign belts with campaign stats and then possibly with an augment. -Nish

Interestingly, the company that you got Hero Engine from (Simu) has a game that I played for many years and they did a lot of in game events. They were always favorites with the people that played. It gave those people something to look forward to and the events/invasions/festivals usually brought back old timers to the game. I'd personally like to see some form of festivals in swtor (these usually came around in the MUD I played only 1-2x a year sometimes 3x for a week or two). It gave people who saved their credits something to spend them on (moneybelts to stop thieves from pickpocketing them was a big one and they were extremely rare). Invasions are great too. Unique armor items from invasions used to sell for quite a bit just due to their rarity. Also, they'd have events where GMs would come in and contribute but this game is far too big for that sort of thing. It allowed for people to get custom type items (whether you can create a system to allow for customized items during short periods I dunno). It'd be interesting to see a traveling merchant who'd customize certain items for you (possibly by name or color etc). Auctions also happened during events (whether that could be automated or not... not sure). But they would sell literally one of a kind items. I understand the reasoning behind BOP items but there should be more BOE stuff to trade/sell etc. More rare items (lots makes it fun to have unique items and still be able to acquire others down the line or trade for them). Usually this ends up being cosmetic stuff because of balance issues but not necessarily all have to be. I think the biggest fear is that things end up like one of the older MMOs that I won't mention where one had to gear in extraordinarily rare items or not be valid in raids. (That or spend so much time camping that it was unreasonable that a casual gamer could do endgame). But a good variety of unique non game breaking items is fun. I never did get one of those lev cloaks. All in all, I liked the event. I'd like to see more of them. It was done fairly well and I like the customizations and the containment suit (I missed the belt but no biggie there). The title is nice too. Hopefully we see more events like this with more unique items and titles. -Nish

I will get my level 10 on pts synthweaving and/or ask questions of someone on pts who has a crafting skill. I will find out if I can learn a schematic from a dropped item. I was under the impression that you could reverse engineer "DROPPED" items and get schematics after asking someone who was leveling synth on PTS. I could be wrong because I wasn't specific enough to be sure it wasn't a crafted item that they reversed. Until then, if anyone else has into on what can be reverse engineered, please post it. Thanks.

I did hear of someone leveling synth and re'ing a green into blue. Not sure if they meant it was a drop or if it was a crafted thing. I got the impression if it was not a quest reward or a vendor bought item you could re it and learn the schematic. If I'm wrong (and I've seen no conclusive evidence that this is the case) please let me know. Realize that you will not get research available on vendor bought or quest items. If it is possible it is only 'random drops' -Nish

Champ gear is better than the blue entry level pvp gear by quite a bit. Battlemaster is better than champ gear as it used to be. War Hero gear is very slightly better than Battlemaster gear.

I'm still of the mind that if you want to pvp where the playing field is equal don't go to an mmorpg. The mmorpgs should be for character advancement where effort over time gets rewards. Someone should have to work to get more levels, items, gear, to do bigger and better things. Generally that only becomes issues for new players after the game has been out for a few years or a few expansions where new players would need to grind way too much to catch up. A lot of people want some sort of reward for their time investment, though. Another large mmorpg gets past it by giving all sorts of ways to boost your xp gain so you can catch up. I still think there should be plenty of things for the guy who's put in a lot of effort. Anyways, I think the gear is part of mmorpg advancement whether pvp or pve. You work well to get gear faster to do bigger things. It would be a problem if when some people got the higher gear in pvp that nobody could get rating or tokens to get the best gear but that doesn't happen. It just could take longer to gear up against people who are already geared (and in this case it was slow before the patch and will be faster to gear after). The models are a nice bonus but there should be some little bit more like some other mmorpgs give highest tier weapons to the high rating guys. Something like that wouldn't make much of a difference unless the people were of equal skill. A good player will beat a bad player with a top tier weapon. Average vs average the weapon helps.

People will pay more for gear that looks better when the market is flooded with orange empty slot gear that looks like what they were wearing at level 11 I think.

Has there been any speculation to the ability to RE PvP gear? If not, I don't see who will use it when they can rip the armoring out and put it in orange gear right away.

Wouldn't you think that the first person that can crit craft orange tier 3 gear would be selling a lot of it and making a lot of credits?

It was stated 25 percent chance for a bm comm but I've gone 20 bags with only one bm comm... then I sometimes get lucky streaks. Armor tokens in champ bags is much much rarer. 10 percent or less.

Champ bags now contain a TON more comms and a very small chance to get an armor item. The tradeoff is better by far. Trust me I was battlemaster with several oranges because of it. It wouldn't be that way now.

Valor rank 83 (63 before Ilum changes) and I have 3 companions with BM weapons and my Lt. Iresso is nearly fully geared in BM gear (republic supercommando looks pretty cool) -_-

Sages without a guard or a dedicated healer die so fast it's silly. I get focused because everyone knows me by 2 people with no guard or by 3 people with a guard or healer and I'm dead very fast. This is by full bm geared Juggernauts/Operatives etc. They still hit me for well over 4k with me being in full BM gear. I don't think they'll be very viable in rateds against the best teams. It'll be trooper healer and maybe vanguard elemental dps or something else. Sages die too fast. The only complainers are the warriors/plate wearers that get their armor bypassed while the scoundrels are backstabbing them for a lot less than they do to sages. But focus them and they die. Shadow's kill me fairly well too if they get the jump on me and especially with a partner. They at least have shields that reduce damage to nothing and can invis. But when that's over with they're fairly squishy too. Give them a pocket healer or a guard and they're dangerous.

It's hard to say but I'd like to know too. In other big mmos this sort of thing wouldn't be considered an issue.
