Not working. There are too many ways to be stun locked/cc etc and have no change to react to anything.

It is both unfair and a clumsy mechanic, in a spec historically purpose built to see it refresh. I would actually prefer they nerfed the rate and not put the artificial lock out on it; the RNG element shouldn't be a major concern because it is RNG.

It's uncommon. That's all there is to it. I have had 5k crits (full BM geared toon in full assault spec). But they are highly infrequent.

Depends if having more DPS would've been better. Protection merely moves some damage around between players. It is circumstance that dictates if it was useful.

A lot of people I know have quit over 1.2 Big class changes and throwing out things like the valor system upset people.

It looks terrible.

I'm just levelling my alts on the NA server to keep increasing my legacy level prior to the transfer... then will go.

Are any of these crafts dependent on Bind on Pickup? Like the Cybertech grenades or the Bio reusable medpacks. I don't want to have a crafter I put effort into if they get stuck with BOP gear.

I read what people say on this but am pretty surprised. Everyone playing the game that I know from my guild, ALL have this problem.

It seems overpowered to me.

What really gets me is if you delete a character, you cannot reuse the name. There should be much more flexibility for editing and reusing in names. This is a MMO and you use the character personna for a very long time.

I like it. Gives me some free time to spend with the wife.

You don't get a hang when you open your inventory? As in, what happens in that video I linked? (There's a better one but that is it). Or when you get ilum quest updates? So ilum is hunky dory for you then? I don't believe it.

I don't know of anyone who doesn't get a freeze opening their inventory bag or when the quest/valor updates in Ilum. Every single one of my guildmates has this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEuFZbdJsKk

Why don't people go for the obvious problems of: - game locks up when you open a UI element (e.g. inventory opening) - game locks up when you get a quest update (e.g. Ilum) It's clear the engine is a mess.

The biggest problem with Ilum is the engine.

Just a comment. Many Australians are still playing almost exclusively on the US servers until the transfers happen. I have 4 toons and, with legacy benefits and continuing to want to gear them up, I don't want to play on the Aust servers til they change to them. So, it will get significantly worse, I think, late April.

I hit >5k on pulse cannon. Sometimes quirks happen.

Lots of people won't play on them until the character transfers occur. However, they are already amongst the highest population (at times I've checked, they are the highest) and that will be exacerbated in April when our toons go over.

The OP is just making stuff up. It's a troll post.

Since your aggregate damage was mediocre, what circumstances allowed this to occur?

Rail shot will not crit for anything remotely like 8k. Ever. If you go to the highest PVP damage thread in the Trooper forum you see that only two or three people have ever achieved a 5k annihilator medal in their careers. I am valor rank 70, have full BM gear and mods out of other pieces to replace accuracy with surge and have only ever had one 5k rail shot crit. And that was with the red expertise buff, a BM power relic and the 120 minute aim buff. So I'd like to thank you for making stuff up.

Just hover over the damage stats of every PT or VG in any game you play and you'll see their top damage. And it will be half of what that guy is quoting, or less.

I am a 50 vanguard heavy PVPer and will be transferring him to Dalborra when I can. But is it any wonder that my 3 alts are all healing capable? Ironic because Pubs face heaps of SIs and BHs and feel the same.

I stopped changing only 2 mods and kept accuracy in the others - for fear of what you are saying.
