and when i thought, that this forum has enough qq threads...

maybe you shouldn't watch noobs play?

Mmm... sweet tears of biochems... Yummy!

*sigh* I have a total feeling, that i am doing something wrong. I manage to make profit from slicing, and yet people in this thread tell, that it's impossible. Uneasy feeling, really. Makes me wonder, is it me, so lucky and stuff, or maybe others are just a bunch of whiners... Some clarification, anyone?

The only message you'll get is 'No schematic found' Don't waste your time re'ing anything, that's not taught by trainer.

yes, there are some buggy nodes left.

I think that there are enough threads, concerning this useless skill.

Mako has +15 effectiveness bonus. It has nothing to do with crit chance. It only speeds mission completion time. It is noticeable only on unlockable missions, where Mako cuts 2 hour mission into 90-100 minutes one.

i believe it's some sort of anti-pwl system. Many games block an instance after it was consequently finished N times

Uh... thanks?

Please, do some research, before posting something this stupid.

people buy them. Reason enough for me

that's true. Being a healer a barely had to heal anyone up. Only if a lone smash was not interrupted. So i was shooting him as well. Strange thing, he doesn't seem to become much tougher after enrage. Wipe comes only if you miss two smashes a row. First times my party downed him 20-25 seconds after enrage.

Um... when equipping companions was even a little bit tough? If you want a specific item though, why don't you roll with friends or something?

investigation and diplomacy are known to bring mission discoveries sometimes, though it is quite rare. Slicing is the best bet.

uh... i saw something about PvP and PvE servers there... Which are more 'hardcore' in topicstarters opinion? Detailed answer is appreciated.

if you want exact balance, i suggest you should go play Doom or something. P.S. voidstar imperial gates not opening 1 in 5 matches are quite fun. Maybe i should whine about it...

Tionese tokens are slow to get (as an imperial at least) because not all hardmodes are working as intended. For instance unusable chests if you wipe on a boss at least once, or if are locked out of the instance after you died in a battle with last boss. When all hardmodes will be fixed, problem with few tionese commendations will go away forever.

can i just disregard post of topic starter?

my party clears directive 7 (with bonus boss) in 40 minutes. Boarding Party in 40-50 (except last boss. Until buggy chest is fixed it makes no sense killing them) Almost no t1 gear, not to mention t2. What are we doing wrong?

Oh, there you are! Another whine-thread. Teamplay is surely not taken into account here. Wait, teamplay? Oh, this is a mighty unusual word. And i totally love whine about poor players, poor performance and no teamplay. Sure, if you hit on a tank, supported by two healers, he's unbeatable. If you go alone against enemy sniper, he kills you in two shots. Why would you blame lvl 50's for your own mistakes? And one last thing. How comes, that a team usually lacks a healer? Most players want just to dps, or what?

cybertech speeders lvl 40 and 50 provide a little extra protection against knockdown, that's all

you are more likely to crit if 1) your companion has that bonus (i.e. Underworld Trading Critical +some number) 2) your companion has high affection for you 3) you are generally lucky. It is also known that 'rich' and 'bountiful' missions have a greater chance to crit, than 'moderate' and 'abundant'. I'm not speaking of course about 'wealthy' and 'prosperous' missions. You always get all available mats on those.

17-24 missions will open around 70 skill. Agrinium is grade 1 underworld metal. You can get it only if you 'crit' on a mission. Level 17-24 missions will not yield it, they are for grade 2 underworld metals.

you should be able to return back to the fleet using the standart shuttle travel. From th fleet you should be able get back to your starting planet, if you forgot to get your companion. It's only i don't understand, how you managed to leave your planet without getting a companion first...
