  1. Pre-50 Rarely did these. Wanted to do them to see what they were but quickly had no real desire to try and run them. Only went to the fleet between planets. Takes too long to leave a planet then wait at the Fleet and hope a group of your limited level range wants to do your level of FP. When questing on a planet people, and myself, want to the the quests there instead of all the walking and loading for a FP. About an hour of work (Only counting the FP itself) for the chance at some gear you'll probably replace by next planet. If you get really lucky and every boss drop goes to you and your class then it's work it. Otherwise you could have just been collecting the commendations on your level's planet. You get like 2 quests worth of experience but spend way more time on it. Post-50 (HMs) Did a lot of these actually. Go through for Tionese-level gear and then chance at Columi and Biometric crystal. But now that I know better it's a between Operation thing only for that one specific Columi piece you want, or Biometric. However I rarely see public Operation groups so unless you are in an active guild HMs may be your best bet. Normal Operations provide 5 HMs worth of gear per person. You get something at almost every boss, sometimes Columi pieces. Way more Biometrics as well. Much like pre-50, you spend a lot of time for a chance at getting your gear. Very quickly all you really want is the last drop for your chance at that Columi piece. I was into PvP so I had Centurion and Champ gear to cover the holes in my PvE gear. Can only be done once a day.
  2. I really think there must be something you can buy from the trainer. But you can always RE you current best item to a blue recipe, and at worst again to a purple recipe. Then that should be non-grey.
  3. You'll have force powers that can be spammed and lack cooldown. They will do significantly more damage than either of your saber abilities. Sorcs cannot regularly use their lightsabers without being very subpar characters. You cannot work around this in any way.
  4. Most LS option I can remember can be summarized as "Pfft, whatever, I got what I want" or "You're useful alive." I don't recall many "No need for violence" but that was usually part of the non [Attack] parts of dialogue when it did show up. There are some blatantly nice options but that's when you Esc and pick the DS option.
  5. It helps to pick DS choices when you feel it's appropriate. It's hard to get into the story of a character when you force yourself to always pick a certain alignment option. You may also be interpreting all your LS choices as being pansy choices. When your SW lets some one live it doesn't have to be because he wanted to be nice. He just says a line. It's up to the player to determine why their character is acting that way.
  6. I assume you are spending most of your money sending companions on crew missions. In which case you need to stop doing that. It's very easy to get crew skills to 400 when you are 50 and have more money. If not that then I'm not sure what you're buying since vendors are mostly worthless, but just stop spending credits on anything that aren't skills.
  7. Realistically, the only thing not being Light/Dark V will do to you is make it harder to get a good relic at 50. There's a set or two of Dark and Light social gear you won't be able to wear. I think there might be color crystals unique to Dark/Light V, but being Between Light I and Dark I means you can use colors normally locked out to alignments.
  8. Those 40 comms go on top of whatever amount of comms you get for finishing a WZ. It current equivalent is getting 8 medals.
  9. If you aren't targeting anything friendly skills with auto-target yourself. I usually click an empty space to remove my target then cast my heal.
  10. Because Bioware decided that they wanted some end game gear to be gathered from Daily Quests. No one can really give you a better answer than that.
  11. Sorc, but Assassin might actually have it too. I can't recall what Sins look like but I know Sages and Shadows (Republic mirrors) look similar. But again in a month or so you will be able to transfer the stats of end game gear (Extract the mods) to any orange armor you like. So if you don't like the chicken but want PvP armor you can just get rid of the chicken. Since you're new I don't think you'll be hitting 50 and being all about PvP till late March anyway.
  12. Sorc is the easier class to play. You are ranged which means there's a lot of enemy abilities you may not have to deal with. Even if you get skills towards DPS you still get heals to make early levels easier. Especially since SI get their healer pretty late. Both get Lightning, but Sorcs get more and are better with it. Sorcs are damage dealers or healers while Sins are damage dealers or tanks. The space chicken look is end game PvP gear. But in about a month the game is updating which will allow people to pick a lot more options for armor.
  13. I only played Trooper in a beta weekend and only just finished Nar Shadda at that time. Having said that, M1-4X by far. So patriotic and enthusiastic about everything.
  14. I just read the most recent Q&A So confirmed for transplanting the set bonus. Though you still need the actual Survivor item first.
  15. Pick whatever you want. As you said it doesn't matter when you boil it down. Companions will cover whatever you don't pick. Though Jedi don't get good ranged DPS till the end of Act 1. As for JK or not it depends on if it's important to play together for your first world/10 levels.
  16. Set Bonuses do not transfer with the Mod and Enchancement, or at all for now. There are plans to transfer set bonuses. 1.2 will enable us to pull Armor/Hilts/Barrels from purple gear which may transfer the bonus but I am unsure about that. Level 51+ Item Mods are only available on drop or pulling from other items. I've only seen them drop by themselves in HM Ops. Your main source is ripping them from items that drop or you buy with commendations.
  17. For False Emporer, if the Trandoshian boss jumps at you and is red you run away. On Jindo Krey learn to use the consoles correctly. I do not know what they do myself so I can't help there. On HK ignore the turrets and heal up whoever HK targets when he goes invisible. If you are unsure heal up whoever you can. On Malgus you want to move him before he starts shooting lightning so about ~13%. Then use your knockback bombs you get before the fight before you use knockback abilities. On Esseles you need to kill the adds right away on the first boss. They do a ton of damage. On Ironfist you need to interrupt his Headshot. It's better to fight him on the bridge than it is to fight him where starts. Have a ranged tank attack from the bridge or have everyone move up there after his first missile spam if you have a melee tank. Do not stand in the red circle on the Bonus boss. For the Sith move out of purple circles quickly since the AoE is way bigger than the circle it shows. In Maelstrom Prison the only real issue is laser eyes. When he charges he's aiming at whoever had aggro, so your tank. He follows whoever he is targeting. That person needs to run around the barrels on the side to stay out of his Line of Sight so he never fires a laser. Use the barrels on the right/east side as the other barrels have a slight gap in them that he can fire through. If he fires a laser he can and usually will change targets. He will not change targets unless he fires a laser so have your DPS attack him during this. On the last boss you need to hide behind obstacles as you advance or he'll do a very damaging snipe.
  18. No, Empire are Rotworms and Republic are Frogdogs. If you are the wrong faction on the wrong team then you are in a same faction game.
  19. There are plans to allow people to move set bonuses to other armor. I am not sure if this is included in the 1.2 Patch (Late March) that is allowing removal of Armor/Hilts/Barrels from purple equipment.
  20. Raid drop schematics are kind of a joke. The schematic is BoP and the item is BoP. So you have to have both the crew skill and the AC to actually use the item. After that the item requires one Biometric Crystal Alloy (The thing everyone wants for their crew skill Rataka) and the purple screw nobody cares about but still requires HM FP or Raids to get. And then you still only get an item as good as Tionese gear which is already dropping from those bosses. As it stands crafting is basically for pre-50 characters. Specifically for level 50 characters to RE stuff and sell to pre-50 on the GTN. But most people don't want to search the GTN or RE a bunch of stuff themselves to get gear that they will out level.
  21. Tionese Crystals are acquired by killing bosses in Hard Mode Flash Points, Normal Operations, and maybe HM/NM Operations. Make sure you personally loot every boss body to receive them. Tionese Commendations are rewarded for completing HM FPs (Only 1 per) and completing the Daily Quest for HM FP and the Weekly quest for HM FP, Norm Ops, and HM Ops. Columi Crystals only come from the Daily/Weekly quests.
