odawgg.

Honestly, I don't see this happening, from what I see there would only be two options with this tuning of operations, either a) harder operation has the same loot as easier, only difference is tougher to down bosses, this will take away motivation to do the tougher content from most raiding groups or b) harder operation has better loot and the casual raiding groups whine about fights being too difficult because they feel like they deserve just as good loot as the 'elite' groups. Your suggestion would likely only work on a server specifically designated for harder operations and with the amount of work that Bioware needs to put into fixing many aspects of the game, I for one would be against setting up another server for the 1% that would take up more of their time when there are 100's of more important things (imo) to work on.

/signed This is an incredibly annoying issue, I suggested a couple times over the months after launch that they add a function that determines whether gear was acquired or crafted by a republic or sith character, that gear then acquires the corresponding faction symbol on the tooltip, and it's appearance is then locked to that faction, but nothing like that was ever implemented. I mean, what's wrong with a Trooper commando in Mandalorian armor? Or a Dark Jedi in black robes? Or an Imperial Agent disguised in smuggler civilian clothing? Seriously... you can effectively double the amount of appearance customization, and it wouldn't even effect pvp that much because the weapons are still unique and differentiate between classes.

Yeah, I thought we'd have it a long time ago, it seems like a pretty basic function.

The hue to chest system is better than nothing, but it's really substandard compared to what other MMO's offer. It really doesn't help that much if there is a specific look you are going for. I can't count how many times I have found an awesome chestpiece that I want to wear, only I hate the colors, and all hue to chest does is give all the other pieces the same awful colors. Can we please have some kind of a system or item or something for recoloring our gear? Just a paint kit or something like they had in SWG. It could be crafted by cybertech or armormech or something, a 1 use consumable that allows you to pain one piece of armor's primary, secondary, tertiary etc. etc. colors to whatever you want, It shouldn't be that hard to implement

yes there were like 56 people on koribban on sunday morning. Seems most of Begeren Colonies population is new players.

so seeing as all the replies have been on my rotation and nothing on my numbers should i assume that my damage is way way off what i should be hitting? im top 2 dps almost every single warzone im in with only 2 pieces bm and rest rakata so i didnt think I was doing too poorly but based off the responses to this thread im guessing i have a lot of work to do to be hitting the numbers the rest of you guys do?

yes i use fusion missile with the insta cast/no heat abilities, explosive dart though? didnt realize i should add that to my rotation, will have to play around with that

Hi I'm wondering what kinda dps my rakata geared merc should be doing in SM Denova. on Toth/Zorn last night i did 360k dmg (not including the handler that jumps down) and on the tanks (which we couldn't beat) I did 481k-520k. Im pretty fresh to merc dps and my rotation is TMx3, unload if procced, RS, HSM, TM till unload is procced or RS/HSM is off cooldown and repeat. Gear is full rakata with healer offhand (old spec), black hole pants and black hole earpiece. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

sorry i forgot to mention that ive never lagged before in a raid like this before 1.3 and i chose a west coast server so my ping is always at 33, and i know my computer specs arent the best so i asked guildies with better computers and they all said they were lagging as well

Seriously bioware, hm ev is like a slideshow for our entire raid including those with high end computers. How can you possibly invest 100's of millions of dollars and end up with such a result? Please fix the lag issues.

what is the best augment set up if you will be augmenting all 14 pieces of gear? are you guys going with both main stats in your augment? or end + 1 bonus stat? also are you doing the same thing for your other 50's or does your augment setup change depending on your class and role?

i would have to say on my lvl 32 char with lvl 400 slicing on average from crew mission skills im losing credits, now if thats because i dont have max affection with my companions or what im not sure but i would not suggest choosing it unless you want to stop along the road for nodes.

and denova gear has expertise on it since when?
