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?

not sure i have experienced the same issues as everyone else, ive 3 manned this entire instance two seperate times, both times with a melee dps and me as a merc healer (from talking to other healers on the server we are currently the worst off of the 3) rather then a gear check i would say this is a brain check as ive also done it with a fairly fresh 50 with like 14k hp

kk thanks, can anyone answer the first question please?

Can anyone confirm that : •Level 48 Biochem consumables no longer require Grade 5 materials to craft. means that I should craft as many stims as i can with all my accumulated grade 5 materials before 1.3 hits so that it isnt wasted? also people are saying that after 1.3 we wont be able to use biochem stims in pvp ? i thought it was only adrenals?

do not nerf lost island, i 3 manned the first boss, you just need to not be stupid and know mechanics

3 manned the droid fight with a merc healer, marauder and assassin tank, its not tough if you know the mechanics... l2p?

so if we arent supposed to bump our posts how do I make sure bioware changes this?

sounds like you want swg back i wouldnt mind any of this stuff

With update 1.2 one now has the ability to buy a crafting item for your ship droid in order to buff his stats for the craft you chose. However, cybertech and synthweaving are the only items with +5 to crit for the crafting skill +5 to efficiency for the mission skill, biochem for example is +10 efficiency to craft, +2 to diplomacy which is laughable in comparison to the buffs cybertech and synthweaving get because to my knowledge the only use of efficiency is to shorten mission times and we all know crafting is going to be time consuming no matter how you do it so wouldnt everyone prefer the crit chance instead? My suggestion to bioware is that they make all the mods to cybertech/synthweaving levels, +5 to crit for crafting skill, and +5 to efficiency for mission skill. This will make the aquirable gear for your droid more fair for all the crafts rather than seeming to favor some over others. IT shouldnt be much work to simply change the values around and I know it would make me a happier player. Thanks

store ruined lotro, it ruined swg, it always starts as just cosmetics and then when companies see how much they make off it it quickly becomes p2w in almost all cases . I know that they wont have my $15 a month anymore if they choose to introduce one at all.

thats the problem with people nowadays, they want it for free, they want it now, they want it perfect and they cry if they don't get it the way they want it
