Yeah, they had to fix music.

It seems that alot of abilities are being squashed from 30% to 10% or 15%. This appears to be major, from 1/3rd to half.

I am reading the Patch notes and it appears that there are alot of player nerfs incoming? Am I mis-reading or is this fact?

Where can I get the additional non-cartel crystals recipes for +41 stats? Crafting only gets me the advanced white-yellow ones and the advanced white-purple. I see in the GTN where other people are making different colors. How do i get those schematics?

I am getting the same issue http://postimg.org/image/ty0dlcp0r/

Patch Notes?

Do you think that the main issue with companions now, aside from the healing spec (which I think was hit a little too hard) is the fact that people are having to heal up after every fight, therefore making it feel more grindy? Would this be solved by increasing the companions out of combat health regen?

Level 58 sage in makeb, leveled down to 56. In the tooltip for Wandering Mend, it says that it heals for 2860-3312 the next time the target takes damage. But it only seems to be healing for 760 or so. Is this a bug?

Could this have been the plan?

"*slow clap*" is sarcasm. slow clap ‎(plural slow claps) A form of clapping in which audience members clap slowly, with long intervals between claps, as a form of heckling and a to show that they disapprove of a performer, speaker, etc.

The problem with allowing targets to be CC'ed is that tank companions do not honor crowd control. If you cc a target, then send your Comp in to a different target, when they finish their first mob and move to the next, the also grapple in your CC'ed mob, which will ultimately kill your tank more often than not. That is an issue. Also, they stated that tank threat was boosted, but of all of the heroics I have seen, as a Sniper, I rip aggro all the time. This might be due to the fact that the comps are not putting out enough damage, therefore, allowing aggro to be ripped. This occurs consistently.

Brilliant idea.

^This. You can still send them to craft and gather.

What is your point here? Are you thinking that MMO means HAVING to group with other players is required? I beg to differ, and so does wikipedia: A massively multiplayer online game (MMOG or MMO) is a video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously in the same instance (or world). By necessity, they are played over a network, such as the Internet. MMOs usually have at least one persistent world, however some games differ. These games can be found for most network-capable platforms, including the personal computer, video game console, or smartphones and other mobile devices. Futher More: MMOGs CAN enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of gameplay types, representing many video game genres. The operative word in the last statement is CAN. Notice that it does not say REQUIRES.

You clearly have no clue
