As 32 dps Operative, it took me at least a dozen tries with different strategies, but only 1 death. If things are not going well, just run out the green shield to reset and try again. Some of my tries bungled within 10 seconds, so I'd just run out. No need to fight to the death, lol. Anyway, what finally worked for me was to concentrate primarily on interrupting the AOE. I got within melee range of Zhorrid with Kaliyo on attack. Zhorrid's AOE takes 5 or 6 seconds to cast and I'd let her get within a second of completing before interrupting. Meanwhile Kaliyo would be kicking the snot out of her, basically for free and unanswered for that 5 seconds. I would not interrupt the force lightening, only the AOE, the 3 interrupts available aren't enough for Force Lightening, too. The AOE is absolutely a butt kicker, the force lightening, not so bad. I would occasionally throw in the knife attack or corrosive dart, when I thought I could spare the time and the global cooldown. If she got off an AOE, I'd just run out and reset. On the final round I did no healing at all, it was too hard to monitor for a cast of AOE with Kaliyo targeted. Kaliyo died with Zhorrid having only 1-2 thousand HP's left and I was at full health. So I went into full dps mode and Zhorrid didn't last long after that.

I use cybertech to make the purple spaceship upgrade parts. Business has been pretty good. The GTN used to work well for sales. A customer would select "Spaceship Upgrades" from the drop down menu of GTN and up would pop all of the items for sale. With the new 1.2 patch, it no longer functions that way. Selecting "Spaceship Upgrades" show nothing for sale. You actually have to type in the name (or partial name) of an item along with "Spaceship Upgrades" for anything to show. And this, of course, only shows the items for sale that match the name. This is broken. Casual buyers will not go to the trouble of doing internet research for names of items. Sales have already dried up. Not everything shows up in the search either. I did the above 1.2-style search for ArMek Ship Armor, which I had just put up for sale, and nothing showed up. GTN is the life-blood of the game economy and of crafting. I don't know how many other crafting skill items this might apply to, but its probably more then just cybertech. This needs to be fixed asap.

This is just some quick feedback on game economy mechanics. 1. I want to use an auction mule based out of the imperial fleet base. My level 2 warrior (which I just created) is unable to travel via the shuttle to the imperial fleet. Apparently I need to waste some time to level up my mule to be able to move her to the fleet. Imho, there is no sense in that and no harm in allowing low level mules access to the trading centers. Why must I waste several hours just to move my throw-away-never-going-to-level-up mule to the center of commerce? 2. Please make the friends list able to add players who are not presently logged on. Everytime I send stuff from my present trader guy to my other characters, I need to type in their names manually. Sometimes I'm sending a lot of valuable stuff/money between my characters, whom I should be able to add to my friends list. I would like to avoid the possibility of typo's (and save time) by being able to automatically have the names fill in or drop down select based upon my friends list. Thanks. ps - love the game
