  1. Someone from Darkest Hour will be there. Rattlehead and Aylaa or one of the other officers Glad to see the Imperial side is getting one of these as well!
  2. Disappointed. I laughed scornfully the first time my JK did the JK equivalent of Force Scream. I waved my saber around like a blindfolded 2 yr. old trying to hit a pinata at a birthday party - lots of enthusiasm, but you totally miss, creating naught but a light breeze. It would have been far better to have the character thrust their hand out and send a wave of force at the target, something we've seen them do in the movies, rather than windmill their saber around like a child trying to hit a T-Ball. Force Scream was a primal roar - grounded, Sithy, enraged, delightful. So yes, I am disappointed that the new ability that replaces my lovely Force Scream is.... two sabers waving about in the air. I imagine it's too late but I am voicing my annoyance that a) the awesome ability I LIKE is getting turned into something I do not like b) that the replacement animation is silly looking. Couldn't we get a double-handed thrust motion? You can do that sabers in hand. Or, I dunno, how about just use Force Scream's current and awesome animation, abandon the silly one, and use the animation time to give us a better anim for battering assault? Or Massacre? Something Acrobatic since it's supposed to be Ataru? Rupture was the only jumping one we had and that's going to Annihilation exclusively.
  3. I don't like this change either. I often keep the map open when I am trying to get to an area I am unfamiliar with or when I am hunting holocrons, or even when I am trying to head to where the rest of my group/operation are congregating. Being able to look around meant I didn't run into groups of mobs and allow me to be situationally aware and make course corrections. Typically I have not driven around with this option on with my keys alone, so this is really irksome as I've been trained I should be able to look around and direct my speeder with my mouse while the map is open. It has been like this since launch. A change now feels like a break in the system, not addressing a long-standing "bug". I thought it was a convenient feature that I would really like to see in other MMOS! Could we please get it made into a toggle?
  4. Thank you for letting us know this issue is on someone's radar at least. This and the inability to see who is online in the various custom channels - and sometimes not even be able to see when someone posts are huge negative impacts in our ability to play with our friends. When the community goes, so do a lot of people (and paying customers)
  5. I am not being brought along for one buff. That's silly. Goodness, who'd think that? I am bring brought along for the logical reasons like being able to play my class, knowing the fights, following the raid leads and so on. However. Gear being equal, there is a gap in DPS between a melee and a ranged character. BT is a tool in my kit that allows me to close that gap. The underlying problem is still that all DPS should be equal in practice and we are not. The ranged don't always get the benefit of BT because of positioning and how you arrange your groups so saying "gee it buffs everyone" doesn't really fly. But the melee (who need it most) does benefit the vast majority of the time and I certainly get the benefit, so my DPS is better, which benefits the raid. it's a thing we use to get closer to what our maximum possible damage output is. yeah it's a bandaid on what I perceive is the real issue, but it will no longer be as effective a tool. (I think that BT should have had a "Sated" style debuff from the beginning if this is how they intended it to work. It's a thing that had a solution, why change it after a year without addressing the underlying issues? )
  6. I am the second marauder in a progression group. This change makes me very sad. edit to add: This game is already rather punishing for melee when ranged DPS can sit and turret and have higher consistent damage contribution. At least I had Bloodthirst as an ability I could use to buff our DPS overall and I could contribute to the group as a whole (and make up for the fact that I have to chase the boss around while our sniper just sits there and cranks out damage). It was also useful in situations where we just need a teensy bit of a boost to get past that one bit of content which will drop the comms/gear we need to, you know, progress. I don't think we were abusing it, I think we were using the ability in smart ways. You know, playing the game. I'm second marauder in my prog group. I was happy they were keeping me around even if some people think you shouldn't take us at all, let alone a second. This just gives them even less reason to keep me around.
  7. /Eyeroll /armcross /lean It'd be nice if when you /thank someone it didn't voice "Please accept my Apologies". I've been good and bugged that one!
  8. The Cad Bane style, wide brimmed hat the smugglers get - for my bounty hunter. And more of the duster/trench options for my BH (Without the life-preserver collars please) Thana Vesh's (from Imperial Taris) outfit for my Marauder. SO disappointed I couldn't get her armor. I would love for some of the intricately embroidered looking pieces the jedi have, to be available for the sith. If I get the same outfit, suddenly it changes mesh and doesn't look at all like what they're wearing. Color them black! Instantly sithy! Some of the outfits the NPCs on Alderaan that the nobility wear - like the dresses and robes and great coats. Elegant looking dresses that aren't in white. Anything that makes my marauder look more like Asajj Ventress rather than a Droid. (Or Vader.) Non-midriff bearing options for female med Sithy armor. I like the midriffs, don't get me wrong, I like that option, but I also like the look of some of the covered-up male versions (See above - preference for not looking like a droid) Thoth, the vendor on Vaiken has a great looking hooded outfit that's impossible for anyone to get because it combined imp and pub assets, some of which aren't the same as what drops in game. Drop stuff using the meshes she's wearing! The Imperial Ablative Lacqerous Vest (colors + style) *without* the backpack.
  9. Really great site! I've been using it to set up events and to chat with folks
