Solo'd it on my Jugg, switching between dps and heal companion. Solo'd it on my sorc healer with dps companion Solo'd it on my sniper with heal companion. All well geared 55's.. Not tried my merc yet

Works for me Ran NVidia Inspector and modified the SWTOR profile to allow negative LOD values = changed to -3.0 and now everything looks so much better, and still getting > 60fps on fleet - excellent! 1920x1200 with full bling, the above LOD tweak and the others listed on the site and video = awesome.

ah my god, I WANT ONE!!!!

Agreed, but then it was just an open zone with no real "objectives", so it gets dull.... Fair enough, not everyone likes PVP, but for those of us that do ... Not really sure about this, I can quite happily zip about fleet instance with 200 people on it and no lag, but then I do have a decent spec machine... Ah, i remember the days of 600+ player zergs on DAOC, 100+ peeps defending Mjollnir against the rampaging Alb hoards - epic hour long fights that time, and crashing the zones on MIdgard/Excal when he hit about 800 in one zone, poor servers couldnt handle it then, and that was 8-10 years ago...

Yeh I know there would be a clash with people questing, but just wondered if it could be a "for one week only" type event, to test the mechanics... If the mechanics worked, it could be moved elsewhere... Just think, 1 week its Hoth.... next week it moves to Tatooine...then Nar Shaadaa (fancy chasing imperials through that rabbit warren? ) As I said its "an option", would like to hear other comments and recommendations, and maybe even some of the Dev's perhaps? we live in hope

Been thinking of this a while, and comparing it to (what I consider) the daddy of PVP games, DAOC (Dark Age of Camelot for you heathens out there). So, the main success of PVP in DAOC was the keeps and towers as capture points, and if enough of them were taken, access was granted to the relic keeps. So, for SWTOR, how about this. HOTH There's plenty of speeder bases out there on each side, so my thought is: - You can either go straight for the base to capture, obviously having to take out all the guards (normal/golds) to get inside and take out the speed base caption (high gold/diamond - hard to kill, 8-16 required), or take out the surrounding gun emplacements around the base to reduce the number of guards, but obviously taking out the gun emplacements takes longer and would alert enemy forces. - capturing the speeder base would break the port lines for the enemy, so they couldn't port directly in there for retakes. - capture enough of the speeder bases (4/5) drops the shields around the main base of the enemy. This then grants you access to take out the main base. Again lots of gold/higher NPC's to take out, and the chance of PVP players flying in to defend. - get inside the main base, and the final challenge is to take out the boss (base captain/general/jedi/sith etc). Capturing this drops decent items worth the challenge. During all this, killing enemy players grants (say) 100 PVP commendations, split between how many people killed the PVP'er. i.e. solo kill 1 on 1 grants 100 comms, if 4 people kill 1 person, then they each get 25. Killing the speeder based captains grants 1000 comms split between how many players assisted. Killing the main base captain drops decent gear. If you capture and hold the main base, then the holding realm gets +5% bonus (or something similar) to PVP based activities, whether its enhanced HP, power, aim etc. While trying to recapture your base, the holding team get -10% on comms drops, whilst the team trying to retake get +10% comms (i.e. holders only get 90 per person kill, retakers get 110 per person kill) I know HOTH is a lower level planet part of the story line, but what do people reckon. Using the current game dynamics and rules, would this be "doable"? Could it be attempted as a one off event perhaps to check if its viable or not? Thoughts and comments please people, and lets try and keep it on topic if possible.

Thanks guys, guess I was being lazy

So, every other class and advanced class forum has a post re 2.7 changes - where's ours?

Ah good so its coming back - excellent.

Soooooo..... When will Gree event be back on, or when will Grey Helix Components become Bind to Legacy? I want to get some Gree gear on one character, and I have loads of Components across my chars, but not enough on any one character.... Anyone?

I've had a few weird groups with every char i've run, but this week takes the biscuit. Manda Raiders HM, me tanking, decent healer, and a couple of decently geared DPS. Kill the bots at the start then into 1st room with the dogs and bots... instantly the marauder leaps in ahead of me. Fair enough I thought, still lowbie trash, so I jump in and grab all the agro and off we go. Next 3 or 4 rooms, the marauder repeats it again, leaping in ahead of me even when he's not fully healed and the healer is working nineteen to the dozen to keep him up. So after the 4th time, i've had enough. He leaps in again, so I let him die, proceed to grab all the agro and the other dps, heals and me kill all the trash. So finally, i post in group chat, "dude if you want to tank, go right ahead" - he replies "but i'm not a tank I won't survive"..."then let me go in 1st please" I reply... At least he learned ( PS this thread is brilliant! )

TOFN here. Tank - instapop Healer - maybe 5 mins max DPS - anything up to an hour ...

Simple solution, "ask in group" - "can i need for companion" - simple yes/no will suffice... What really cranks my gears is when PUG HM FP members hit need on everything....

I'm tank spec now @ 50, but whilst leveling went for DPS with Quinn as companion. However, now in tank mode (full BH aug'd), I use Jaesa as main companion (mixture of Columi/Rakata/BH gear so not bad ) and now we just wade thru pretty much anything so much faster.

What they said. I love playing my Jugg (in PVE anyway, still a struggle in PVP for me in tank mode) It feels like a very "in your face ******" class in PVE, leap in, smash the cr*p out of everything nearby, standing there with everything hitting you and you feel like saying "is that the best you can do? Have some of this!!!"
