I actually have a pretty well geared operative as well, she isn't quite ready for nightmare but can definitely clear SV HM and TFB HM. needs a few more pieces but going in the right direction for sure! I'm going to roll a lowbie on your server now and see if I can get ahold of you

I might be interested in joining you guys, I have a sorc healer who is in nearly all underworld as well as a merc dps for the hm content. What spots do you need filling? I am 1 set piece away from being geared for nightmare

Hey guys I will be leaving Bergeren Colony due to minimal raiding guilds. Have lots of friends there but it is time to move on. I am looking to transfer a sorc healer in nearly full underworld (1077 bonus heals capped alacrity and surge and crit and all that) who has done all the content except the new nightmare. Our imp progression basically died out as I geared for it. I also got a merc dps in a mix of 69/72 with capped stats (just missing relics). Anyways I would like to know if anybody is interested in taking me, and what opportunities there are imp side. Looks like a lot of republic recruiting but don't see much imp. And I don't want to spend all that money transferring for nothing. Thanks guys and appreciate any imput or tips

Hey so I've recently gone back to playing with my merc after playing my sorc healer for months. I did a couple tests and I found something confusing that I hope you can clarify. I did a couple parses of these two relic combos. 2 war hero relics from pre 2.0 vs a partisan serendipitous assault and a arkanian relic of cerulean nova. As you know today with the patch we are able to use two proc relics. What surprised me was that the war hero's still did over 100 dps a second in a 5 min parse then the procs did. I was told by people that war hero's were obsolete and not even worth considering. I realize the partisan serendipitous only is 410 power for 6 second and the energy tech proc isn't your BIS but still. Should 226 constant power really be better then 30% chance 332 energy tech damage every 4.5 secs and 30% chance 410 power for 6/20 seconds? Doesn't seem right to me although maybe thats the wrong damage proc or pvp and pve don't mix together still. Would appreciate imput

So do we get the event bolstered to 55 now? How about nightmare xeno? Wheres the info on this

Unfortunately pyro will never be viable in raids, even if it parses equal to arsenal. Reason? Tracer missiles not only give your damage an armor debuff, but also the rest of the raid attacking the target. Lots of people have been knocking mercenaries since 2.0 but forget that the tracer missile on the boss makes them do better too As for PVP, can't comment there. I haven't tried merc's in pvp because of what ive seen and heard. If I were to, I'd probably heal but I already have a 55 sorc and operative that pvps so whats the point lol

Um, you can do all story mode raids in partisan gear.. Maybe you would want to be augged to properly pull your weight but its quite do-able. I healed sm sv and tfb with that gear and my partner wasn't stressed at all. if you know how to play youll make it through without worry

Hey guys, I have always been predominantly an imperial side player who until last week only had 1 Republic toon. Originally my guardian was supposed to be a tank, but i neglected to finish leveling it. Recently I decided to try out a vanguard and have really enjoyed both tanking and tactics for dps. Both these toons are now very close in level and I have been unsure which character should do what. I am inexperienced with the vigilance spec but I find it very fun as well. Which leads me to ask you guys which toon should tank and which should be dps? Keep in mind I want to be viable for all content except perhaps nightmare TFB. Things I'm curious about: a) which character parses better numbers b) which of the two would bring more to the team for both dps and tanking c) which class is better off tanking in pvp and which is better for dps d) which role for each do you find more enjoyable to play and why e) how difficult is it to play each toon in either spec Thanks guys, I'm hoping a flame war won't happen here over the two classes and which is superior doing what. I just want to make a decision as soon as possible so I can focus on gear, opinions and suggestions are appreciated

Congratz on 1st. Looks like you guys rotated people in and out through your run under the same lockout though

God damn Sovereign premades u guyz are sew chep and alwayz cheating. Nobdy likes ur guild and you probly had 16 guys to kill ZGrgoth

From what I've been told Black Hole > Recruit. And in my experience using both, thats been the case as well. Especially with the campaign armoring setbonus that gives my healer sorcerer 50 extra Force and 1.5 seconds off innervate. As for War Hero armor, its just too big of an expertise loss to stick to your BH. Thats when you HAVE to upgrade.

If you actually read my post, you'd see that I said its probably speed hacks.

Alright well I played 50 Voidstar today with a guildy. Im a healer sorcerer on Bergeren Colony. I am not the best PVP'er by any stretch of the imagination, I am learning and still only at like 55 valor. Anyways, first of all. Match starts, and as soon as we get outta the gate somehow sentinels are already attacking us. Since when could they leap across the map or get there that quickly? Then, I try and heal. I know healers get targeted but never before have I been what appeared to be 2-hit in a 1v1 battle. In a one on one fight I almost always win, and now I am dead before I can even drop a heal on myself? IMPOSSIBLE So in less then 3 mins the pubs have captured the datacore. I don't care HOW talented your premade group is, there is no way you can just walk through on offense without any resistance. Not to mention they planted bombs across the bridge, less then 10 seconds after the bridge came down. Again, impossible. My guildy said he had played a few matches today before I came online, and stuff like these same pubs getting the hutball and running past his teams acid pool while his team had just got to their acid pool. So basically, not only are pubs stronger and imbalanced in PVP, but now they are faster too? What a load of BS. Either deal with the hackers, or I stop playing PVP for good. Or properly balance... I know pubs are better at teamwork and the average imp plays selfishly but cmon. Im pretty sure its a hack but I don't know. At any rate its a total turn off.

The mask is true, but the force ghost is a lie. Besides, even if that WAS in the beta it got taken out. Soooooo yeah. Still waiting for people who think revan is dead to address everything I said above

So so far there is no actual rebuttal to my above points. Just personal interpretations.. Also thought I'd throw in that Drew Karpyshyn himself has said that they left this open so that they could revisit revan in the future. Didn't say they ARE bringing him back, but certainly didn't say they aren't. I doubt the writer and creator of Revan is throwing in the towel. Get real guys, if they we're truly ending Revan this would have at the very least been a max level Op/FP. Not mid level.. And whether you feel this is a fitting end for revan or not, that doesn't mean he isn't coming back

Umm you guys, Revan DIDNT die at the foundry. His health does not completely drop, no body, hell i've even asked a few customer service representatives when getting in game help from other issues. They won't give you a direct answer, but 3 times now it has been hinted at me. I have gotten the following answers: "Who am I to determine the great revan's fate? ;)" "Nobody in the galaxy knows what happened to revan" and even just the answer "who knows? ;)" Why wink for no reason. Obviously Bioware isn't allowed to say anything. Hell another point, in the beta you actually KILLED revan. as in corpse on the floor. Now he disappears in lightning. Coincidence? Cmon trolls its obvious he didn't die! As to what they do with him? Who knows. He IS one of bioware's biggest characters from one of their biggest games. To honestly think he died in a mid level flash point is ridiculous. If we see him again I see it being as part of an expansion. I doubt he will be a center point in any future ops, flashpoints, or single player story. I think it will be dialogue and nothing more. I seriously doubt they would have him killed by players, he is too big of a bioware icon to be butchered. Another reason why he didn't die at the foundry

Bump until you add to game?

Nightmare mode, with rakata drops and campaign rares

shameless bump. Read ppl

Bump

I talked in the forums with some guild mates about mini games and extra things to do. One of the main frustrations most of us have, as level 50's, is sitting idly on the fleet looking for groups. That being said I have some ideas for extras and fun distractions that keep all levels busy in between missions. Kind of like space combat! 1) PAZAAK: I think its insane that this wasn't put in the game, its my favorite diversion in the KOTOR games! And this simple blackjack game could lead to tons of fun with friends, guildies, and randoms you meet in the cantina. Give Cantina's on the planets some life! It gives players the chance to do something with their extra credits, and is the perfect way to spend a few minutes before your next FP, Op, PVP, etc. Playing cards for credits, possibly things like commendations or cartel coins (up to you Bioware) is just a fun idea. And compared to other requests and mini game ideas, this would be easiest to impliment and take less time in programming. If you could only pick one out of my list here this would be it! 2) Swoop Racing. Another mini game that somehow got lost or forgotten in this games development. Swoop racing is addictive, and another great time killer. Trying to beat a friend or guildmates time would be thrilling and could have you glued for hours if you obsess! But its also the kind of thing that if you only have a few minutes you could totally do a run and walk away. Very accessible. You could do things like overall leaderboards, or just friends and guild. Either implement a system where there is a track on each planet, a circuit if you will, or a random track each week. If you beat a certain time, perhaps preset, you move on to the next stage. Victory wins you swoop bonds like in KOTOR, which can be used for credits or special gear of your guys discretion. The top 10 players in the leaderboard for each week would win some sort of price. Maybe cartel coins, maybe an item. Your choice Bioware. 3) The Arena. Similar to the Mandalorian battle circle, and any Arena really: one on one contests. Impliment a true skill like system, and either find a way to balance it across all levels or have it directly participating against your own level range. Like have a 10-15 group, 15-20 etc. Rewards for victory are commendations, and your record is recorded on leader boards. The fights can have special rules too: like it may ask you to fight barehanded, without armor, swords only, etc. Just would freshen things up and allow you to compete for honor. Facing friends and guildies would also be much more exciting an thrilling compared to a normal duel. 4) Pod Racing. Need I say more? The idea of racing 7 other players is awesome! Allow pod upgrades, abilities, different weapons etc for your own pod. Customization would rock! Maybe you want more speed, or better weapons, or more endurance. Leaderboards, commendations etc all apply. Race your friends, and guildies. The opportunities are endless. And if it could be done and made fun on the N64 you guys could do an outstanding job. 5) Chess Game. I forget it's name, but its in A New Hope. The line "let the wookiee win" is enough reason to have this. Another cantina game with the same concept of rules applied as to pazaak. Anyways Bioware, we really need some side stuff. As much as we crave new content, when I look at things such as events, they are fun but you know what? They don't stick around. Things like these are permanent side stuff that gives you the opportunity to have more to do. Each player, particularly once they level to 50, wants more to do. I would love for you to contact me, I have a million ideas . This game needs more varied stuff because eventually doing your dailies is going to get old. Thanks for reading this

Honestly I personally am getting a little sick of the repetitive cantina songs, it isn't a big deal but still. That being said, why don't we at least have songs that were in the KOTOR games? There are some awesome ones. This one is just amazing. Really captured the moment, besides the song from the tatooine cantina from A New Hope this is simply the best. Honorable mention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN8zrPo31zA I think it would serve the game to have more songs, especially ones that were licensed on previous games. It's an easy think to program too so I vote: Please do it!

I respect Lucas's creation. I love it. I like the prequels, Revenge of the Sith is great. Second best? No. But 3rd for sure. Thing is the prequels make little to zero sense, and lost many of the great things. Empire Strikes Back was the best movie of the 6. Is it seriously coincidence that the one movie he didn't direct is the best? No. Fact is: the more control Lucas had, and the less he was challenged, the worse the movies got. Some of his decisions were absolutely foolish. I don't hate George, but I sure do not agree with a lot that he has done. I reccommend everybody watch http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/ star wars reviews, that are both hilarious and right on the money. Sorry Lucas lovers but he has tarnished his legacy, no matter how much I love what he created and how awesome he made my childhood. I respect him, but I also have a bitter taste when it comes to many of his more recent, executive decisions.

I'm a Revan "fanboy" because I played through both KOTOR games 5-6 times at least. Grew attached to the character, the concept, and still remember how shocked I was the first time it was revealed who I was. Best RPG moment ever for me I'd say. Anybody who played threw KOTOR before this MMO and loved it cannot deny that they love Revan. All the haters never played.

SWG is dead. All that it has left is Nostalgia. Anybody who didn't play it before wouldn't play it now. Guys, what I hope for you missing it is that you can create or join a private server someone created. It won't be brought back. It was cool for its time but the best you can hope for is something underground done with it. I hope you can get that.
