Sytrak and Golden Fury are fun encounters.

I have it on VoD i think. I'll look it up. (I stream and record almost all of my play) Wow, oddly enough I don't have it.

I dunno I had one but prefer the more "traditional" spacing on other boards (e.g. a Das or Leopold)

I am not saying it's unjustifed. I should have added more examples to be honest, basically they could say that tomorrow Megan Fox is going to blow you and then hand deliver arenas, seven new warzones, and the ability to veto warzones and some guy will complain that it isn't Emma Watson and there aren't 10 new warzones.

BTW "Grats on S&V" is code for "Please stop melting me!"

Here is the problem as I see it with Bioware posting on the PvP forums besides the relic stacking/obvious bug fixes: And so on and so forth.

The thing is, in any other MMO the RPers are the least skilled players*. For some reason the hardest hardcore starwars nerds tend to be good at starwars video games and care about the end results of each battle. At least those of us (I use this lightly, I'm good but I still have way more to prove to TEH) at the top care. * No hate but the LOTRO RP server would rather argue over page numbers in the Silmarlion, Farstriders in WoW was dead besides ERP in silvermoon, and god help moonguard and it's wretched inhabitants. EQ2 has great players on its RP server for some of the same reasons we do here. It's a way nerdier game and RP players are serious about game mechanics as much as they are their characters themselves. Oh and BURN IN THE FLAMES OF SOLUSEK RO!

Had some damn tight matches too, gotta do it more often.

You guys bring the hurting, and I reverse it

Had some great matches before. Fun times guys.

Not quite true, I get free expertise when I zone in with my PvE gear on. My stats also change. My PvE set is 69/72.

Yes, conveniently enough you get into the instance from fleet as well, exciting right? Or you do it with people you know, you can 4-man HM EV/KP as it stands. As/for dailies, I don't do em anyway, get my money from crafting and HM TFB/SAV clears. It generally takes me about 25-30 mins to get a group together, which is less time than it takes for my 55 HM FP queue to pop generally.

You can always rebind what the naga uses in the Razer Synapse tool for swtor, the actual buttons it routes to are not relevant. (It sounds like you still use your 1 thru - independently, i just use the naga exclusively and use 1 thru - mode myself.)

And from what I understand 110ish vials of isotope 5. Not to mention finding a crafter that RE'ed all the 72 stuff they need.

I went ahead and bolded the doesn't give a crap about the group part in my quote that I was responding to. My point was not so much as we need a DPS meter, as that people think that it's okay to waste other peoples time as long as they "do wahtever they want." That they, as you said, will want to avoid scrutiny and hope that others pick up the slack, and the worst part is that they most of the time do not know what they are even doing wrong, it's not like they can see "Hey I'm doing 1/15th the damage of the tank, I wonder what the other DPS is doing that I am not." All of this for what? Because some turd with recount hurt your feelings and you took it personally instead of getting better? Once again, this is why people avoid the group finder and would rather drive in circles on fleet than queue and play with people they do not know.

And people like that are also why group kick and good players not pugging exists. They don't care about the success of the group, so they're either unaware that something is wrong or just don't give a damn about the time of the other players. People seem to forget about the fact there are 3/7/15 other people who are just as important as they are.

The game isn't designed for SLI and you're experience the common microstutter when you do force alternate frame rendering for a non-sli designed game.

This. Beat the dead horse somewhere that cares.

Step 1 -- go to fleet Step 2 -- Type /1 LFG HM EV/KP for weekly, PST

I agree with this idea, sadly this is what I predict will happen: "Wahhh! NO NEW CONTENT BIOFAIL!" "ZOMG why do I have to keep doing the same stuff over and over, tortanic!" "QQ QQ QQ QQ" "I am going to complain about it being on PTS even though I'll never actually do it while it's relevant!" etc...

I don't get the PTS "controversy" really. It's quite common for MMO devs to test raids in a public environment, internal testing can only go so far versus a playerbase that will run things in ways the Devs did not expect, and ultimately uncover edge cases that lead to bugs not existing. Even with PTS Dash'rode can be trivialized by positioning, something that if they found in PTS I'm sure would have been fixed. (Literally you can do it with just the active tank gaining stacks, and then dropping them when he tags out with the OT, totally bypassing the entire shield mechanic.) Additionally it's basically the only chance I have to play a fight before everyone is like "If you want to do this raid go to dulfy and read the guide first." Something I miss sorely from my earlier days of MMO raiding. I'm on the PTS, sadly my lockouts carried with me and I have to wait till reset to do the new content.

Yeah this is about as stupid as it comes, what do they want testing NiM the people who can't clear HM?

That is generally how they do it, but with a few caveats. 1 -- They gate LFR so that every x weeks a new set of bosses opens. Mostly this is because it's easier to get people together for 3 bosses and gives the casuals plenty of time to get one tank and spank down and move on to the next. (This is no joke, the LFR bosses generally mechanics do not matter.) 2 -- Heroics are locked until you clear the raid on normal. This isn't an issue for serious progression guilds, they clear the content the first week and move right into Heroics. Regular guilds don't really go Normal -> Heroic, some may try but generally you have the guilds that clear normals fast and go right into Heroic and the guilds that may eventually see a heroic or two down by the time the next patch is out. 3 -- The WoW dev team is gigantic compared to the SWTOR one, I won't make excuses since I'd prefer there to be NiM launching with the raid itself, but as long as the new mechanics really up the ante I'm fine as it stands now. The 2.0 re-balance of TFB was lenient in my opinion, going onto PTS soon to look at the NiM fights, hope they really up the challenge factor. Also some of the tiers in WoW last for a really REALLY long time, for example ICC was released on Dec 8 2009, the next real raid came with Cata release on Dec 7 2010. A whole year with a raid. The same thing happened with Dragon Soul (which was a terrible raid to begin with) releasing on November 29 2011, with the first of the raids in MoP opening September 25 2012, and the remaining raids opening over a month after that. At least this strings it out a bit and takes the "Heroics 2nd week" impetus off the serious raiders. It has a lot wrong with it, but it also works out in some ways.

Sage heals willing to throw down. Anyone got a public VOIP? I'm going to the bar for a few hours so maybe 11EST->2AMEST or later? Looking for good times either way.
