^ This, I add them to ignore on my tank and healer both geared up and lvl 50. I do this not to the guys who leave instantly if they don't like the composistion but to those who say, play for 5 minutes of huttball and leave the second the other team gets ahead by 1 point. The way I see it, if somebody isn't going to put in a little effort to win and will instead ragequit if things aren't going smoothly isn't somebody I want in any Hard Mode or Ops group. Although I must say the Hard Mode Flashpoints are all to easy right now to.

Just a quick post, but can somebody confirm if the rakata cubes still spawn on Belsavis for me please. I've spent over 4 hrs every day now for 5 days going to each location in a cycle and haven't seen any at all. I'm curious if they have had spawn points changed, or if the spawn time is slow or if they have just been removed. Thanks in advance for any replies.

You can unlock the ops frames and then drag it a little to the side and lock it again, this will let you use the left quickslots. Its what I did to make healing easier.

No you can't transfer characters between servers yet, and if it gets added later you will have to pay for it with a cost as much as the subscription probably. PVE = Players grouping and questing, only players killing other players in warzones mostly unless you choose otherwise. PVP = Players grouping and questing, but can also be killed by players from the other faction. The option can't be turned on or of. RP = Role Play, pretty much just means pretend the character is you and try not to talk about what you watch on tv etc as it spoils things for the people acting out their characters.

Lucky for me you could bring yourself to post about it or I would of really worried. PS Can I have your stuff?

On my tank I don't take diplomacy I just take biochem and bioanalysis and then just buy the reusable medpacks on the trader and rank up biochem so I can use them, I would suggest trying to sell those, just don't price them to high.

I've had ninja looters, and sure you can kick them and carry on. But honestly I've also been the one asked to join a half done instance/flashpoint and I think " nope I'll be missing loot I'd rather go from the start ". But how many groups in a half finished instance are willing to do it again right after so the person who joined half way through also gets a chance at all the loot. I've even joined heroic 4's where 2 of the group was on stage 2 while me and another was on stage 1, and once they completed what they required they left the group leaving us with an unfinished heroic. 2 players and 2 companions meant we had 4 and was able to finish it, but I put those 2 players on ignore with my tank and my healer and I can only imagine it would be worse if it was cross server with fewer consequences.

I think theres a Nar Shadaa bonus as well, kind of recall going back around lvl 33

Companions don't work on world bosses so even if hes out hes perma stunned for the whole fight

I've been playing on Progentitor server since early access, I've got 3 characers hovering around lvl 30 and one at 44 and so far I've only pugged. But I can honestly say theres been no ninja looting at all in any of my groups, people have been needing if its a clear upgrade if its not for their char they greed or pass. If they want it for a companion they simply ask if they can also roll need because a companion needs it and usually get told " sure ". My highest lvl chars are a Juggernaut/tank and Sorceror/Healer but even on my alts I've not run into anything like this. In fact so far the only bad part of pugging was the two guys who shouted for people for a heroic 4 , got their last step done ahead of me and another guy and wanted to leave the group instead of helping us finish. That said I mentioned how they was wanting to leave after we helped them which wasn't fair so they stayed and helped.

I had one two days ago where I tried to go to Tatooine and my client stopped responding and I had a codex error on the screen. I blamed my pc restarted got to char select screen and tried to load Tatooine again and had the same issue. Another restart later I load back up and I can't even load any alts, at first it says I'm still logged on my main so I wait 20 minutes and then try an alt and it fails to load again. Final try after another restart and a 10 minute wait and my main finally loads Tatooine, now the thing is it usually loads in under a minute and when I did the repair option nothing was broken it was simply an annoying bug. Would I say its gamebreaking, not for me no but it might have been for somebody else. What it was is very annoying because I had a group waiting for me and no way to contact them since I only know them in game and my alts wouldn't load to let me whisper them.

I've ran it 3 times on my Sith juggernaut and only saw heavy armour with aim, medium with cunning or rifles and 1 pistol drop. Saying that though as a test I ran BT solo 30 times to reach dark 2 and before the latest hotfix/patch the gear drops was random and I equipped myself and my companion nicely. After the hotfix all the drops was for my class which I found odd.

Republic should have more consulars then, they are just mirrors of the inquisitor anyway.

Depends what kit it was and what it was applied to. Some cooling kits are for graphics cards and some are for CPU. Theres also those radiator things that channel the heat out of a pc and into a radiator to heat the room. Also depends on the gfx card and what temp it is supposed to run. I used to worry my card was running just short of 100 degrees, then I contacted the manufacturer and they said that was normal for that card. Still had me worried though.

Most of the early lvl 50 players had a few things going for them 1) Long time beta testers, so they knew most of the storyline and could skip it. 2) Long time beta testers, so they knew the most efficient order to do quests in to maximise benefits for least time. 3) Long time beta testers, so they know what gear is good, best way to craft purples etc. 4) Long time beta testers, so they knew tactics for bosses in flashpoints etc 5) Younger people with fewer responsiblities over xmas and a large amount of free time. 6) People who could take a week or so off work for xmas holidays or sometimes more. 7) Long time beta testers in a Guild of long time beta testers that work well together. 8) Just a large guild of friendly people. I was only in beta testing once, but because I knew the most efficient way to get my SI to 18 instead of it taking me 8 hrs it took me 3 since I knew the story options already and could skip the voice over. Factory in the same kind of time saving at higher lvls, or just skip PVE entirely in favour of PVP if you know all the story and you can hit max lvl pretty fast. Without even trying to rush I have 3 chars all nearly lvl 30 on Progentor and 3 other servers all also have another 3 characters of the same lvl. If I knew what server my friends would pick when they get the game I would probably be lvl 50 myself.

Well first thing I can say is you have 2 crafting skills , Synthweaving and Artifice, but only 1 gather skill Archeology. Usuall each craft skill needs 2 gather skills to get the materials used for crafting. Artifice , Archeology, Treasure Hunting Synthweaving, Archeology, Underworld Trading To get the skills you must have gone to the fleet, now I'm not sure what lvl you are but if you have a companion you can press N and it will open a window. On this window you can press a button with a picture of each craft or gather skill. Pressing this will open up either a mission window, where you pay for the companion to go and gather materials, or a sort of recipe/schematic list where if you have the materials you can tell the companion to craft. The missions you send companions on have ranks and different material rewards, so first match the mission to the material you need but also try to do rich, bountiful and abundant missions. They give better return for your money. You can also press N and cancel skills and go and select new ones if needed, or you can have 1 character go around gathering materials for all your other characters where possible.

What I do is use TH almost exclusively to find lockboxes, more often then not you get back about 80% of the mission cost and raise the skill, at least 50% of the time you will also get an item you can vendor or sell on trader for a bit more profit, or just send to an alt for their companion. Another good trick is to do TH after you get your ship, then you can do the space missions while the companions go for the lockboxes, the money from the mission recovers what was spent and you get exp

I've been using Treasure Hunting since early access and Slicing since after the nerf and they both seem to return about 50% - 80% of the credits if I get a money box thing. On the other hand sometimes I get a schematic I can potentially sell for the rest of the cost if not more, and with Treasure Hunting I get green weapons or armour often that I sell to recoup the cost. Occasionally I get an orange with mods already inserted or a blue so they seems pretty good to me. Plus both rank up quite well, if you guys feel the slicing nerf is to much try out treasure hunting, sell the items to a vendor to make money back, or sell on trader to maximise profit. I've even called out in general for the first person to whisper me they want an object I link , and the first person gets it mailed free lol.

Some synth RE I had to do 40 - 50 times to get the schematic, I know try to be a much higher lvl then the item I RE to improve my chances. For instance I'm still crafting the very first set of recipes to rank up, and then when I think my craft starts giving me augments most the time I make the blue and then RE it and usually get the schematic.

Plus the mods I found from commendation vendors on dromund kaas and balmora was way worse then what I had crafted and equipped myself

I mostly buy purple instead of orange at lower lvls because the stats are better, if I get lucky and have a purple with mod slots I use my alt char to craft purple mods for it and get a significant boost to stats. Granted I have 3 chars and my crafting is about lvl 35 while all my chars are only lvl 25, but I can do synthweaving, artifice, cybertech and because two of my crafts both use archaelogy I decided to switch that out on one for slicing so I can make credits from that as well as treasure hunting. As biochem I would recommend making those reusable med kit things, I even dropped one of my gathering skills so that I could get the mats to lvl up biochem to 60 to use one. And as I get higher lvl I'll need a much higher lvl reusable medkit for my tank. Hell I'd pay 20k for a lvl 20 one and double that for a lvl 30 version.

That cover skill the ranged class gets stops force leap, use that and then fire from a distance and they can't leap to your ledge

I know artifice has similar that are the same, just different colours for the crystals so I file those under appearance differences

Which items are they? I know that I craft a green, and then reverse engineer to get 3 different types of blues, I craft a blue and reverse engineer to get 3 types of purples. I'm assuming the same type you mean would be similar to some of these being the same and using the same mats, but sometimes their appearance changes, other times its just about getting one of them the easiest route possible and not needing to get the others of that lvl.

I don't remember to much about the fixes because I also have an nvidia, but during beta it was a known bug that some ATI cards was having problems. I remember something about turning off bloom and shadows, and using the gfx preferences to select high and apply, then low and apply, and then to manually select the high settings instead of using the overall thing to imcrease fps a bit. My friend tried it and jumped from 9 fps to 29 fps, but his card should be doing much better, unfortunatly the thread with all the fixes was deleted when the forums was refreshed but theres probably another thread of fixes by now.
