Awesome! Thanks

Forgot to add that I am disappointed there is no damage meter yet. This, to me is an essential tool. It's fun to be able to see the improvement in your dps output with new gear, and to be able to tinker around with speccs and gear to find what works best. Without this tool, a lot is lost in the sense of progress

Haven't been to Ilum yet, too many traumatic memories but hopefully that place is also a lot better now=)

Having ended my subscription in March last year I returned to SWTOR little over a week ago following news of free to play model and server merges. While I was very unhappy with SWTOR due to some very high expectations upon release I must say that the main reason for me unsubscribing was the empty servers. I played republic on the server Chuundar which had 40-60 players at fleet PRIME time. Usually around 15-30 and less in the very late hours. Add to that the lack of any form of dungeon finder tool and you had an MMO that was virtually not an MMO at all since grouping up with people for flashpoints was such a chore. I am very glad upon my return to find that my new server is full of life on all planets and on fleet. The dungeon finder makes finding flashpoint groups less of a chore and it is how it should have been in the beginning. I am less happy to find that the animation delay is still present, and that it means that it cannot ever be fixed. This kills the PvP in my opinion since you can never predict when and on which ability it is going to strike. I'm also glad to find that professions such as artifice is now viable too. The armor sets areforthe most part unconvincing and bland like before but the adaptive armor feature is a nice touch. All in all I think the game is a lot better and I will subscribe for a while more, although I think some end-game content needs to be added if I'm going to stick around for the long run. Keep improving the game!

I have a lvl 45 sorc at the moment and it's the easiest class I've ever played in a mmo. While at the same time being very very powerful borderline OP.

I sometimes use your tactic, but it's very dependant on the situation... IF I want burst I will apply my dots and pop trinket and zen for some shock damage. Usually on healers if theya re close to 50% health and then kick them as they panic to bring them down.

I'd say Sentinel and Guardian/marauder/juggernaut are hardest to master. NOT saying they are bad classes. But that they require more of the player than other classes. Easiest in my opinion is Sorc and sage, very powerful and requires very little from the player. I think the jedi/sith melee classes are hardest because they have the most stuff to keep track of WHILE constantly moving. My Sentinel for instance, I have to keep track of the surroundings, constantly move, check for my focus and which ability I can use with that focus, then keep track of the CD's of the abilities I just used AND keep track of the dots I have applied on the target, watch for my centering stack and make sure I have the dots up before I use Zen. Add to that the problem with animation delay which quite frequently will make you attacks NOT go off when you press. Meaning I hit overload sabre and then Cauterize only to realise Overload sabre never connected and I now instead used Cauterize... *********** up that rotation. Just my thougths:P

Am I the only one who are having nightmares about them? I do not know if I should call OP since I have no idea really what the deal is, maybe I just don't knkow how to fight them... But it's like they take extremely little damage and still manage to put out quite a high amount of dps. Many times I feel like I'm baningn my head against a brick wall trying to dps them

I'll give them until patch 1.2... if that doesn't bring a HOST of improvements I'm out, and not only out. I will be boycotting Bioware products from then on.

WHat is it with certain assasins that makes them virtually, invincible? Every now and again I come across certain assasins that simply takes like ZERO damage over a very long period of time. Is it a certain specc or a cooldown they pop? Or are some player using some sort of an exploit? Just wanting to understand the class so that I can stand a chance against them:P

Knockbacks, roots, stuns, sprints, CC AND bubble? Are all of these really necessary???

I'm a little worried about mobility as Combat since master strike is so very hard to hit with in PvP. If you had a 3 sec stun or something it'd make it easier:P

Sure there is a thread like this but too lazy to browse:P Just basically... Combat over Watchman for PvP... anyone? Is it even an option?

I'd much prefer PvP weren't gear dependant at all. I think the addition of resilience took away much of the fun with WoW PvP

I definitely think this is true. Unless the player in battlemaster isn't completely clueless.

This is not exclusive to SWTOR so it's not a SWTOR specific complaint but since I'm currently playing SWTOR I'll share my concerns here. Basically gear decides far too much in PvP nowadays. I feel the skillf actor becomes less and less important and the grind factor takes over. If you have more time to grind and get the better gear you're set. I definitely think there should be a reward for PvP to strive for but I think the advantage gain shouldn't be so powerful. I think the deciding factor should be skill, and not gear. A more skilled player in centurion gear vs a battlemaster doesn't stand a chance.

Is it confirmed that there exist hack for this game? Becuase there are some Imp players on my server that simply goes beyond that of a "skilled player". Some players just simply doesn't take as much damage as they should be taking. It's just this general feeling you get after figtning countless of other ppl of that class and you just think o yourself "there's no way he should take this little damage" I'm just wondering if it's ecven worth sending in a comlaint and player name to BW. Do hacks like these exist? and can BW do anything about it?

I was under the impression that you can't buy out the gear from the vendor until you hit rank 50?

Apologize for spelling, broke my right hand a few days back and am too lazy too edit:P

Basically I feel likt this will create an enormous gulf between players who are just startin out and the earlier players/lotto winners. Playing from rank 1-50 where the best you can wear is Cenurion gear? That's harsh... Problem isn't the system in tiself even though I feel it's not very good. But the problem is the way you've been back and forth already with this system, and even cocked up with ane xploit for imperials. There's now a substantial group of players with Champion and Battlemaster gear. And players who are only just starting out will have to grind to 50 before they can even start to equip competetive gear. --------------------------------------- This isn't a flaming thread and I am aware that I might have mis-interpreted things and may be off track in which case I apologize.

I'm getting a tad sick of i.e Leg strike not going off when you hit it and have the enemies run away from you while I myself am now slowed and can't get near... I acknowledge that animation delay is better now than at launch but it's still an issue sometimes. Can Bioware ever really fix this problem?

Basically a few weeks ago, Warzones were nearly unplayable for me. I could run the game on the highest setting in ops and PvE> in general no problem but in Warzones the fram-rates were super-bad even if I put everything on lowest. But lately I've been able to PvP like normal. Is this a coincidence or has BW done something here? In any case I'm glad:P

Bioware has some really good material to derive from too. The way Lucas has pissed his fans off over the years could provide endless easter eggs for fans in the game. The addition of out of place and unnecessary digital effects in the original trilogy. Vader saying "noooooo".... Han shooting first. A lot of star wars fans would love to get to pick up on stuff like that.

I take it that's something you've leanred from the extended universe of Star Wars? Books, comics and such? Most haters of midichlorians are ppl like me, who never read any of those and are just pissed off at what are in the prequel movies:P The extremely vague and never mentioned again bit about midichlorians from Qui-gon in the movies could just as-well not have been mentioned at all

I'm really missing a little humour in this game... How awesome would it be to have a smuggler NPC debate with another NPC whether "Who shot first" for instance? I may be in the wrong here and missed something like that. In which cae I apologize and please tell me where soemthing like that is=)
