Same, boss 1 'assault on tython' (Major Imos?) *ALSO* Same problem final boss, Red Reaper. Invulnerability states generally seem to be bugged in FP's.

I just have to say tho (for comedy value).. T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! "BIOWAREⓇ A DIVISION OF EA" ouch. would you allow yourself to be forced to wear it? I feel that's a question for the sages *bdum dum tsch!*

Not a big shock for those of us who've put a lot of time in, queues have been getting longer and longer even at peak times. I'd like to see a degree of honesty* here, I don't think we're going to get one.. I got the timeline, understood Bioware's process here, they saw PvE space getting numbers and the massive pre-beta requests for space action, and they jumped on it. Sadly, as so many MMO's do, they saw a BIG win in grabbing the hard core PvP/EVE/*Famous* 'X-Wing vs TIE Fighter' market and failed to see that the people asking for this content ain't them. I'm sorry gang but Star Wars fans didn't grow up playing call of duty, they grew up playing vanilla X-Wing a & Tie Fighter. One day, some exec in a suit will get it... and will be burnt upon the altar of supposed heresy and their bones shall be gnawed upon for their delicious juices.... mmmmMmmmm ..... delicious juices... * Numbers like these "80% increase in space PvP battles in the last 3 months!" ..are bad numbers. Same numbers, "80% increase in the space PvP battles in the last 3 months!.. with an increase in gaming time across the board up by 140%" so a marked decrease in real terms.. and "PvE space down 60% in adjusted player time since 2.0, essentially because we've abandoned it and haven't had a reward change in years, unless you count the reward nerf. Sorry about that."

Cake! {The Cake Is A Lie! - Republic} {Let Them Eat Cake! - Empire} Our website *I* *AM* *IN* *SO* *MUCH* *TROUBLE*! Seriously, I wrote the bit below in our "we'd like to meet new people! how should we do that?" thread, and mine 'won'. Let me save you some time ladies and gentlemen; we're old 'n crazy. The minute the Big Boss finds out I wrote this header, I am *so* on the norty list Have a read tho, and see what you think. (we're *adorable* btw. Experienced, funny, gaming introverts with a bitter-sweet sense of humour and a tendency to punch way above our weight in game). (did I mention we're adorable? ) Read on; now would be good as I'm going to have to cut this whole intro out as soon as the Boss has seen it. I Am In So Much Trouble --------- Hi there! Please sit, have some Tea! We are Cake! & we're a little bit different ^^ Growed ups (allegedly), fun loving, famously sociable and drama averse, our guild was forged with the belief that guild councils and officer classes and raid leaders - serve only to make having fun as a group harder. Somehow (sheer luck we presume ), we've managed to find another way. We sit on Teamspeak, and in our forum, and we chat; we raid (tons actually, but we're not a raiding guild), we level alts, we play the game we came to have fun in and we find it's all so much better when we're doing it together. & right now we're looking for new friends to come play. We have never recruited in game, this is our one and only recruitment thread anywhere on the beautiful wide web (it's our special place, it's lovely to have you here!). So you're probably looking for the list of rules, DKP requirements, age restrictions. We don't have them. We have one tongue in cheek mantra which is simply, "Don't be an arse" No raid leaders, we all just follow the people we know are great raiders, and we seem to have an unusual number of those; no officers, some people just do more work than others, and we let 'em; and our guild leader leads not by Council meetings and secret forums but by inspiration. We just like to play together. So, if you're looking to trial a guild of fun loving, sociable, experienced TORites, and enjoy free tea and Cake! Why not check out our website and have a look at our recruitment form. Hope to see you soon! All the girls and boys of Cake! (50+ active members, 10% thingy bonus, yada yada, Red Eclipse, both factions... man, small print; why do we have to do this? ^^)

S.H.O.D.A.N. from the System Shock series. Gaming's modern update to HAL and Bigger Badder sister of GLaDOS, she embodies the true horror of all encompassing power in the hands of the psychotic and megalomaniacal. I think Clarke and Kubrik would have approved ^^

I hit deep space hero today. I don't know if links are allowed for pics but here you go. This was primarily achieved by having 4 alts, so yeah, having lots of alts at 50 helps as it allows you to choose the days you want to do space, rather than having to do it every day for fear of missing one. I'm very happy but I can see why folks who are very interested in space, not altitis, would be disapointed.

The Guardians of Peace [REPUBLIC] & Power [EMPIRE] (TGOP) are recruiting! TGOP is a mature, multi gaming guild that began in TOR looong before launch and we are recruiting heavily to further expand our presence here - We’ve braved the stormy seas since November of last year and we’ve washed up on The Red Eclipse eager to make fresh, flaming tracks in our new home! We are a community of mature (*cough* - Ed.), friendly players based mainly in the EU time zone. Our presence in TOR since beta, has earned us a positive reputation for our guild videos and casual raiding teams, and we are now focussing on having a good time together across all types of game play - from pve to pvp - with our top tier raiders (positions available to anyone incidentally) fighting through EC HM and TFB SM at least every week, as well as the usual gearing runs through EV and KP (all on both the Republic and Imperial sides). We seek mature, drama-averse new friends who are keen to help out and be helped, work towards the guild’s goals* in a chatty and friendly atmosphere, and who can enjoy a good laugh. (*though don’t ask us what they are, probably something to do with Jack, or Goats ^^). We're physically excited at the thought of filling our openings with like minded folk. (o_O - Ed.) The loot hungry, rush-rush types... This isn't the recruitment thread for you In short, we're a large, grizzled and welcoming team on the server and we're keen to meet you! Server: The Red Eclipse (to the bar boys!) Very active guild site packed to the brim with chat, (http://www.tgop.co.uk) Mature players (21+). Primary language: English. EU time zone. Casual play style. Engaging in PvE and PvP. Busy (srsly!) RaidCall server for guild use. No specified play schedule. If this all sounds good; we have no level, class or gear requirements, so drop us a line on our recruitment page (http://tgop.co.uk/recruitment) or grab a TGOP member and ask about joining. Every TGOP member has recruit permissions, but here's a few officer names you can look out for: Republic - CT-XVXI, Darkmoonk, Doç, Gaspodia, Gaspode, Sevesyner, Annwn, Jabbok. Power - Gorgor, Frymoreflesh, Alineara, Flavious, Dichotomy. You can see more about us on our site: http://www.tgop.co.uk

yes ok you guys win, best mmo april fool *ever* +1 actually, i have a big bag of those here just take 'em, take 'em all! /tiphat

Of all the cantina's, in all the towns, in all the Galaxy, chances of you meeting up at random are slim. Suggestion: Resub old game, drop them an email IG with TOR contact details... or whatever the standard method of communication is there; tattoo the side of a Bantha, I don't know ^^ If they're as keen as you and missing their old playing partner, they're likely to look for you in the same way at some point. Otherwise, there's a million new friends here just waiting to meet you! /tiphat

I don't know what all this wow chat is about and the Act 1 story was god awful (IMHO ), but as a healing class; epic; love it, wouldn't change it for all the heavy armour and big guns in the Galaxy ^^

Most notable QFE from the wise words above; alacrity DOESN'T reduce your GC. It's not on my list of wants when I'm upgrading my mods but if you've buckets of pvp valor comm thingies and you want to buy the gear, the wp/end/power/crit/alacrity items aren't a total waste for healers. Best I can say for it really ^^ [EDIT] oh and I found the DH link for all the stats and what they do. Should have thought of that sooner, sorry.

I took my last saber attack off my hotkey bar when I got force quake and in truth, I don't think I'd used it for days before that. Having them on your bar in pvp is actually a hindrance imho. If you're using your ls, your not using the ability you should be using :shrug: The only reason I bother upgrading the useless bat is for the stat upgrades I don't disagree with you but the class works well without such a 'fix', so why change the tyres from Pirelli's to Conti's? Seems like a lot of work for no real benefit.

Well I guess it's down to personal preference and whether pve or pvp is your thing. Personally I was levelling a pure healer to help my guild in pve and enjoyed pvp, so I got up to specializing Healing trance (resplendence), but did indeed take Inner strength and mental logevity early, and then went for double bubble (Telekinetic defence); then finished off the seer tree. Has worked marvelously so far. I wouldn't argue against getting Clairvoyance or Salvation before double bubble, I just found the bubble was my go to hotkey in pretty much all situations so took buffing that as a personal given. 2c ^^

I've certainly seen one particular application become lifts 'classic' use. Alderaan warzone, middle turret. The 2 high semi circular walkways. IA's run up here all the time, set up their shield and double up on your teamies with their melee counterparts in the scrum below. Saunter over all casual like, popping bubbles on your teamies as you go. When you're in range, stun the IA, wait for them to use their break; then lift. With nobody else around them, it won't get broken, you'll get the full 8. Drives them mental

Says it all really, the change from ranged to melee tank happened too late to polish him up and I don't think I've heard one peep from the devs about it. So would love to; but can't expect a tidy any time soon. Booooooo.
