I will do almost anything to stop this ******e from spamming our fleet with this ludicrous

As much as I wish you were correct, I'm going to go ahead and say no for two reasons. 1-I'm not a dev, but I would assume that a server merger patch would take longer than just 4 hours. 2-They will highly publicize the server mergers when they come, simply because of how many re-subs they might get from it. I have a feeling we'll know a good bit ahead of time before that is going to happen. For the record I hope I'm wrong.

I have a level 50 dps/healing merc, and yes it's worth it. Things have changed a bit since the patch, but merc healers have the highest end and armor ratings of all the healers (they survive longer in hard fights). I'm not sure exactly what skills you have unlocked, but there are certain things in a level 50's tree that reduce and erase the cost of some of your heals (not to mention one that's completely free).

^ agreed

I got tired of watching after they wiped on the beginning two towers three times :/ ^ That is trolling

I am by no means a bioware fanboy.. this is my first MMO ever.. But I can guarantee you all one thing, they want us to enjoy this game and they're trying. Yeah it was a massive screw up but I'm sure they know that. Time to kill some jedi scum.

Also assuming you're an empire player here. Off the top of my head, here's what you'll need for the one's with pre reqs. Directive 7 and Boarding Party-Both are supposed to be completed on normal mode before you can try the HM. You can get around this by picking up the quest, entering the FP on normal mode then immediately leaving. Once you've left there is a vendor outside both FP's that will give you the HM. D7-The droid to pick up the quest is the first on your right as you enter the fleet from interspace transport (travel to the section to the right and you'll see him hugging the rail, I want to say it's the Galctic Trade Market Area). Foundry HM-For foundry you have to do a run through of Boarding party to pick up the quest. If you're level 50 you can do this easily by running through BP on normal mode (enemies will hardly be able to touch you) and completing it that way. You'll see a quest line continue and Foundry normal will now be available. Pick it up and use the enter/exit on normal trick to pick up the HM. Off the top of my head those are the only tricky ones to pick up. And in case you were wondering, here are the drops. d7-Columni Legs Boarding Party-Columni Hands Foundry-Columni Feet

Perfect example of objectively stating disproval, without sounding like a 6 year old. ^^ Example of whining. Ellecee is a good example of who I am not talking about trash about, however if the "us" you are referring to means you and half the other's saying they want to quit the game then yes, I am embarrassed for you and your childish rage. I'm assuming by your response and lack of grammar that you read half my post then proceeded to rage up a generic "he's a troll" response. What you don't seem to understand is that I have a problem with your attitude about the whole thing. It's not the fact that you are complaining, it's HOW you are doing it. It's annoying and childish. If you want a great example of someone I can respect, look at the top of this post. It's a mature and thought out response. I appreciate people like that, and so does society in general. Your add might have kicked in by now and you're prob⁡bly not even reading anymore, but yes I know exactly how healing is. Like I said earlier my MAIN is a healing specced merc. That is what I do. My alt is a tank, so I am very familiar with healing and what happened to sorcs. My Merc's heat from healing has taken a substantial hit, but rather than complaining like a child I'm dealing with it and learning how to counteract it.

/closediary

a)Suck it up b)Re-Roll c)Continue whining d)Learn a new way to play your Sorc e)Quit Had a sorc healer doing just fine last night all the way through Lost Island HM and he didn't complain one bit. I have a Bounty Hunter as my main both dps and healing spec, you think I don't feel the nerf??. There is no constructive criticism here, just whining. You also need to realize IT'S A GAME. I may sounds crazy, but you WILL LIVE.

I have a lot of experience (compared to most) on this boss, simply because we wiped probably 30 times before finally taking him down. We didn't run a single instance where every lava panel was overflowing, so this is what I'm assuming. #1-It's his "soft enrage", even though soft really doesn't describe it well at all.. Also, #2-If a group is hardcore enough to get a video of his defeat up that early, it's safe to assume they're not casual gamers. That would most likely mean they are geared to the teeth, and in turn might have burnt him down before this enrage, which might be why their run was different than yours and mine.

I think you meant caveman

^^ I feel like I love you.. Glad to know that lots of others enjoy having something that is truly challenging (and I haven't even tried the ops yet).

@ OP, Almost every single flashpoint is completed easily by a group geared with tier 2 pve/pvp.. You're using a single new flashpoint as a basis for them all when it was specifically designed to be hard. In my opinion that's what sets it apart from the others and makes it so fun I ran it through it HM with a group comprised entirely of columni or above and we wiped about 30 times throughout the entire thing before quitting at the last boss. What would have made me mad is if they put in another vanilla HM like all the others have become and there weren't any new challenges pertaining to flashpoints. I enjoy the challenge. Let it be something you can work up to instead of just being frustrated that you aren't geared enough yet to do a single flashpoint.

That all those who aren't satisfied with the patch/game come to the forums to QQ, while people like myself who are really impressed/like to the game are playing it? It's my first MMO, but I'm a pretty big gamer. I can tell a piece of crap from a good game, and this is in no way a piece of crap. One of my first times reading the forums and I'm surprised to see that I am one of the few who seems to love this game and be completely satisfied with how they're running it. It's by no means perfect, but chill out.. it's a game.
