There is a very important cutscene after completing Dread Palace that is only available to Republic players. But don't let that interrupt your pity party.

Some people think you should read guides before showing up to a GF pug (I mostly agree). Some people think it's incumbent on the raid lead to explain everything to new players (ignoring the fact that in a true GF pug, the raid lead is assigned randomly). What about another approach: Bioware could put a basic explanation of the SM mechanics in the Codex or Tutorial panes. GF pugs aren't progression where things are kept secret for the thrill of the competition; let the game explain itself.

They HAVE to be bolstered. The level range is 50-65.

Mind Trap is the only ability that can only be used from stealth if you compare across all 3 disciplines. Personally, I hope we get a stealth bar just so more players become aware of just how few abilities are only usable from stealth. Maybe we should have an execute bar too. Bars for all the things.

If there was an equal distribution of dps/healer and tank gear in the non-set drops I wouldn't care, but tank drops are super rare, and have enhancement types you can't get through tokens or commendations. Don't be jerks and ninja tank loot if you're not a tank.

The personal tank loot has Bulwark/Bastion enhancements that can't be sourced any other way. It would be nice if the personal loot system would take your role into account when dropping gear; my tanks are drowning in dps gear but only have 2-3 tank pieces.

I received one of these bugged decorations today. Here is a screenshot for reference: Ancient Rakata Alchemical Beast.

One-click Report+Ignore. It's been requested many many times. Make it less of a hassle to use the Report feature and I'll use it more often.

That's an interesting change.

A SWTOR port of this: http://simulationcraft.org/ . Original development discussion was hosted primarily at MMO Mechanics (now defunct), later moved to https://code.google.com/p/simulationcraft-swtor/ (now abandoned), moved to a Google Groups mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simulationcraft-swtor (now inactive), and had it's final death throes at https://github.com/simulationcraft-swtor . It never got to the point of fully simulating all classes or specs, but Deception was one of the ones fully simulated from the start.

Turns out, the author didn't actually listen to what was said during the Q&A.

At least check out the new animation before posting, for gawds sake.

The Deception/Infiltration stance is tied to their Discipline. If you were being pulled by an Assassin/Shadow tank in DPS stance they were using Hatred/Serenity's stance. Please learn to identify which AC you are fighting before asking for buffs or nerfs.
