Most likely, somebody saw a post that said "hopefully this will be changed in 1.1" and glossed over the hopefully...and the fact that the poster wasn't a dev.

Oh, snap! I was about to leave Taris, but I think I'll stick around for a while and do the bonus series...I'm an Armortech, and this makes me a little sad, because I may just be through making armor for myself anymore...maybe I'll switch over to cybertech for the mods, or biotech.

I let him suit up and fight me. I agree he didn't deserve better than to die when the ship exploded. But this wasn't about him; it was about me. *He* may not be an honorable warrior, but *I* am.

I imagine you've considered this, but remember that a number of our abilities have additional threat built in (Rocket Punch, Grapple, Improved Ion Cylinder), and I wouldn't be surprised if others did as well.

In addition, most (not all) laptops have the video card built into the motherboard, and have no room for a separate video card. That said, I did alleviate some video memory issues in my laptop by simply upgrading my memory. Not nearly as efficient as dedicated video memory, nor a guaranteed fix. But an option.

Yeah, tanks will often mark themselves to make it easier for others, particularly the healer, to find them. As a tank, you do NOT want the healer to struggle to find you if the fight gets hairy. If I understand correctly, focus is what the MT is going to hold, and the burn targets are weaker mobs that should be burned down as quickly as possible (additional mobs make things much harder in SWTOR).

Don't blow up your heat--it cools down faster when you keep it at reasonable levels. Applies to most characters, actually; but Powertechs suffer if you try too hard to burst.

"Begun, the Distro Wars have."

Wait...so you're saying that, if you fail to upgrade your gear, you actually get *weaker* as you level? Not just weaker relative to your content, but weaker than you were before? Your level 20 character could gank you because you leveled up 20 times?

I don't believe there is a coded benefit beyond the romance itself.

OP, do you really think BioWare's goal was to make their customers miserable? That's a pretty nonsensical position to take. If you don't really believe that, you'll have better success by posting something in a more constructive fashion.

No, Slicing was nerfed because it made so much money that credits became a non-issue for everyone that took it. That makes everything essentially free for them, and will lead to rampant inflation for everyone. Deep breaths, guys. It will be ok.

I'm not a theorycrafter, but from what I understand Power doesn't do much for us. Crit in all forms is probably good for PvP, though--you want to do a lot of burst damage so you can take them down before they can heal. So increased crit chance and increased crit damage are probably very useful for PvP.

I just ran Hammer Station for the first time today, and though we had a good (and well-balanced) group, we were all new to it...the bridge claimed the first two of us. All I see on my screen is my healer saying "well, we can't heal that..." And that bridge. Glad I'm not the only one who struggled. We wiped once while we gathered ourselves, not realizing we were even under attack.
