furthermore, if you try to attack with it, the animations will work but nothing damagewise actually happens, in my experience. I bought an entire new saber when I could have just replaced the colour crystal. Ah, what did I know.

Actually, the topics I saw about this where in fact shadows thinking it IS a disadvantage. Not sure where it went but there was this huge topic about mirroring classes properly. One argument was that shadow's shock can be cloaked, for example, while shock can't. ..I honestly don't get where people get the energy from to care so much about such minuscule details. I'm an assassin, by the way..

I'm all for it, of course, having a specific form of colourblindness myself, as well as my b/f. Both our colourblindesses however are very different and they also sound different from what your friend has. My point being: which colourblindness are you gonna enable support for? I've always been very annoyed with WoW, because the boss abilities on the floor are often of a colour I don't see clearly. Freya was hell to progress, they couldn't have me on trees because I couldn't spot them, to name a notorious example. My boyfriend on the other hand had no issues with Freya, but he had issues on several other bosses that were fine for me. Now we can help each other and call out, but yeah, I'm sure you see where I'm getting at.

If people are serious, there's google, there's a swtorwiki, there's an official page. It's stated loud and clear it's permanent, if people don't care to check what they're getting into, then I don't know what to tell you.

Did you honestly suggest this? I'm DONE with cash shops, I'm so done paying for games and then being spammed with cash items and options, just get over that, please. If they put development time in this instead of the heaps and heaps of issues plaguing the game instead, that for me would be plenty reason to quit. That's not having priorities straight (or a sense of honesty, for that matter). It's theft. Anyway I'm with the Please Don't group. I rolled a sniper and sort of regret I didn't go Operative, but I'm just rerolling one now. The Advanced Classes are vastly different. Leveling teaches you how to play, say, your assassin. You can't just respec at 50 and expect to do properly, because you'll have no clue what all those skills do. Furthermore, it will severely decrease the amount of content available. Essentially, you're going from 8 classes to having 4. Having a lot of classes keeps people playing. After I'm done leveling these 4 classes, I'd have no reason to reroll anything. In current light: I have a 50 assassin, and a 42 mercenary. I rolled a sage, and will be rolling a powertech (whatever it's called Rep-side). If I could just respec my assassin to sorcerer, then why would I ever reroll anything else (and thus keep playing). It's bad business on top of it being a bad idea. I don't want to be forced into a sorcerer role either right now because they do a lot better than assassins. It will cause lazyness on the side of class balance as people can "always respec one of their 5 specs". No, this is really one of the worst ideas ever. Just reroll if you want to play something else, don't be lazy.

I hope for good solutions for you scoundrels/operatives! However, I could hardly believe the nerf was already live. In lowerlevel warzones, scoundrels are still obliterating anyone they see. It's highly frustrating to be on the receiving end, as I'm sure you will understand. I can't say for 50, as scoundrels don't usually open on me then (I'm a fellowstealthie! I just prefer a sparkly blade ).

I'm pretty sure that Bioware stated they plan to add Neutral content. I'm sure a few searches should give you the results. I'm going for a neutral character myself now. Or well, I'm just going to turn off Alignment showing and see what my light/dark turns out to be at 50. Would be nice if I don't suffer penalties for that!

Hello, Exactly as the title states. The voices in all warzones, but especially Alderaan and to a lesser extent Huttball, are getting very much on my nerves since, well, since day 1 to be honest. I like my quiet and not some gorilla voice stating the obvious. Now the work around is to put Voice sound to low/off, but this will affect all other voices. That is, of course, highly annoying when you're leveling at the same time, spending half your time toggling voice sounds on/off. I realize this is not high priority, but still figured I'd throw in the suggestion.

Anyone correct me if wrong, but isn't this numlock a feature stuck in Windows and not something a game can easily bypass? Anyway rebind autorun to something less obscure, I think that would fix most of your issues. My b/f is lefthanded and plays with numpad in every game, this one included, so it's definitely possible.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to introduce a better tiered PvP gear system? Right now, I for one am at a 20 valor vaccuum where the champion bags will mostly yield me nothing, while being weeks of grind away from battlemaster. It saps my will to play (really, it does). On the other hand the crappy badges you get weren't ever better than even the *******st gear I dinged 50 with. I have tons of them and nothing to spend them on. Crappy pvpgear (but less crappy than it is today, I hope) -> champion pvp (at say, valor 30 or 40), battlemaster stuff (60), where the valor stuff gets revamped to be less of a horrifying grind. So you can slowly bridge the gap, without feeling horribly crippled, and without the progress of gearing your pvp character feels stalled or stuck at any point. Cause for me it does, it really is 'stuck'. And change Ilum in something more interesting while they're at it.

Hah. I'd like that. Am I also the only one hearing "cleaningdruid" every time? This, of course, after the "ladies and gentlebeans".

Hah, interesting. My Merc hit level 40 today, and I came here to say how wrong I was saying it's not OP. It's ridiculous. Coupled with Heatseeker Missile, procced Unload, Rail Shot and the dart, people stand no. chance. whatsoever. I will nuke them and they will die and that's the end of it and it doesn't matter what class, as long as I can freecast. On the other hand: when melee is upon me chances are rather big I'll get owned. Pretty much like with most ranged classes, BH's are 80% crippled if you're on top of them (and @50, on my assassin anyway, this looks to be the same, they're a joke when I sit on top of them). I have no serious ability to kite, and my heavy armor only does so much at this level (in fact, I feel way squishier than I did on my assassin at the same level). I have a pocket healer friend so it could be MUCH worse, but in the few warzones when people actually use their eyes and notice that spamming bounty hunter there every time, I'll suffer and my BH will die. A lot. I don't know how this works out at 50 PLAYING one (I never let them freecast, if I can stop it, on my 50 assassin). But right now, I'd really like to trade off this insane burst damage for more mobility and more ways to defend myself properly against melee. Cause honestly, it's not really interesting gameplay either is it.

This! Such a relief after WoW. When I first got the game, after every time I logged out to go to bed or something, i'd first make a random new character. Just because I love creating characters and the many things you can do with the options we have here.

As others said, you'll get used to them as long as you're persistant in learning them and actually use keybinds (not clicking..). For me, the best way to learn a class and its keybinds is to simply pvp (even though I mostly prefer pve). Pvp forces you in a lot of dynamic situations that makes you use a variety of skills, and after every defeat you can look back and re-consider what you could have done otherwise. Maybe this works for you too? Anyway, my keybinds are pretty consistent. A lot of them transferred over from WoW, too. Stuns will always be on B, and abilities that require incapacitated will be on x, for example. Interrupts are always F1, medpacs on F2, cooldowns on one of my extra mousebuttons, etc. Damage over time abilities are always Shift-2, Shift-3, and if needed Shift-1, while my filler ability will always be 2, and my longer cooldown rotational ability on 4. Etc. I'm sure you get the idea. If you're consistent like that on all characters, and in all games even, you'll have a lot less trouble remembering your keybinds.

No problem.
