I like them. Helmet is cool, remind me of a Secutor style gladiator helmet designed to deflect shots off the helmet away from the vitals and protect the neck and shoulders from downward blows. http://www.durolitum.co.uk/images/secutor.jpg

There is a big difference between a challenge and a grind. Grinding is not a challenge unless the content is a challenge. If the content is not a challenge then grinding is just doing the same easy thing more times thus making it simply repetitive and boring. Bioware does not want to bore its player base because bored people don't play the game. Most people don't find playing the same stage a thousand times more fun then playing it 10 times. Its the actual stage that is suppose to provide the enjoyment not the number of times you have to play it.

Mandalorian Armor comes in different shapes and sizes and most of the techy looking bounty hunter armor in the game is Mandalorian in style or origins. A mistake people make is that all Mandalorians wear Boba Fett armor. Boba Fetts armor is a style or Mandalorian Armor but not the only Mandalorian armor.

It gets better when you spec Pyro. Tanking in pvp right now is pretty garbage.

The reason consular classes have long robes as opposed to pants is simple. In the films, pants was more for younger combat oriented jedi attire. Thus why the jedi knight class has pants. It is a combat class and needs the closer fitting clothing for better mobility. The longer ankle length robes conveyed more of a wise wizard or teacher appearance like those worn by Yoda or Obi-Wan in his older mentor role for Luke. http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/starwars/images/BookImages/obiwan.jpg

Any Merc that uses a 1 button rotation is a failure and will die like one...alot. Even with Arsenal which is inferior to Pyro for 50 pvp dps, you have to make use of almost all of your abilities to keep from getting facerolled by melee classes. I don't believe in pvp rotations anyways since pvp scenarios are always changing.

Mikster you are level 27. Come back at 50 when you aren't playing buffed warzones.

was probably playing same faction huttball and thought they were sages.

Ya my main is a mando and I never fire a single grav round or "party popper" as i like to call them. Then again i'm smart enough to run assault spec in pvp and rarely do any mandos run gennery very long before they figure out how crappy it really is.

obvious troll on my Rep char i see teams with up to 6 sorcerers on average and as my Imp char...well...lets just say i've spent a good number of huttball matches with purple lighting covering my screen to the point i cant see what the hell is going on half the time.

C'mon man, we all know helping all kinds of ungrateful turds and then telling them how much you love to help them is way more fun.

The problem isn't your server, its your faction. Republic is terribly underpopulated on most if not all servers to the point that the Imperial fleet will generally have more players than the entire republic faction.

This isn't your genre bro. may want to try getting some friends to play with. Try doing that in Skyrim.

I hear that's a pretty tough game. I hear you only get one character and if you die it gets deleted.

Gunnery does epic burst damage but it is easy to counter by a competent player. Assault does slower damage but can be good in the hands of a competent player. Assault is much harder to master than gunnery which is as easy to play as counting.

I've played a ton of MMOs in my years from Planetside and CoH to DaoC and WoW. I even played that short lived Richard Garriott space trip fundraiser Tabula Rasa. Not a single one did I participate on the official forums. This was the first MMO that i've actually taken the time to look at and even participate in the official forums and i'm glad I never did in the past. This place is full of those people that throw tantrums and piss and moan about the smallest things like spoiled entitled children. In my job we work with small businesses who purchase product from us in orders of upwards to 25-30k a week. Sometimes there are problems that cost people hundreds if not thousands of dallars and they complain less than these spoiled gamers crying about a game they spent 60 bucks on like they are some high profile investor.

You're that guy that throws a tantrum at returns because the corner of the box was dented. so entitled...

You could use a rifle as a Commando with Gunnery or Medic. Rifle does about a third or fourth less damage than an equal cannon so its not a big loss. With Gunnery you are using grav round instead of charged burst which doesn't require a cannon. With Medic you are mostly healing, if you are attacking, something has gone wrong or the situation is in hand anyways. People get too hung up on little stats and I find when I kill its usually ability overkill anyways. As others said the advantage of appearing like a vanguard could be very helpful for pvp as healer as enemy players will be looking for the troopers with the big cannons to kill.

Vanguard is a mirror of Powertech. Powertech is a tank/close range DPS class. It's abilities are all geared to be close to the fight but just out of melee range. If you want ranged DPS, go Commando

Could have sworn he died because he was hanging with Jabba's crew at the wrong time. Never questioned Vader? "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."

Flashpoints, PVP, Heroics

So..you want a third neutral faction. I would agree with you but that time has already passed.

Calling in a mortar volley with bigger explosions would be much more exciting than a glorified grenade launcher burst.

I dont need Dorne to heal when I kill every mob so fast I don't have time to bleed.
