Gottcha thanks, yeah Im lvl 55 still. I didnt see it in the progression tree, so I thought I would ask. Thanks!

I have just come back to the game after a while, and am also looking for this ability, appears to be missing here...

And I'll be in your base spanking your n00bs

I gank n00bs on Hoth regularly. Why? Becasue it's fun, and because once, it was done to me, within my own base on Hoth. A 50 stealther popped out and killed me in 2 seconds, and it rubbed me the wrong way. I was levelling up at about 40. Having never played a steatlh toon, I specifically went and levelled a Concealment Operative, got to 50, now I regularly camp the Republic Hoth base, killing nubs in 2 seconds, then stealthing. I'll pop out and kill 2-3 at a time just for fun, then run around and get them when they spawn back, or get them at their taxi. I'll do this for hours on end. Sometimes it takes an hour, after I've killed 30 of them, often the same guy 8-10 times, before he gets 50's as backup. They will come in a horde, try and outsmart me, at which point I stealth and queue a Warzone. In the meantime, happily wasting the time of everyone that came. Warzone is done, I kill some more, and queue again. They give up and think I'll not be back, so I kill them again and wait. Rinse and repeat. It's more fun than staring at the vendor on the fleet for a week while I queue warzones and wait to have enough comms to buy a new Elite WH piece. I'll kill nubs while I wait out the queu. It sure beats any form of PvE, And damn it makes me feel good. I'll pay $15 a month for just warzones and nub ganking If you don't like it, go to a PvE server.

Yeah that's the lame thing I see. I JUST finished grinding full WH on my Marauder, that is playing no ranked matches, so I'm trading in @ 3:1 ratio for commendations. Then I grinded up a 50 Operative and now i have half a set of WH with some BM peices. Now, I can either cap my commendations and not buy anything for the next many weeks, then upgrade as much as I can, or I can keep buying at 3:1 ratio, only to have JUST spent many weeks wasting commendations only to have all my gear put up for sale at cheap Battlemaster prices, and just have to grind an entirely new set of armour again, at 3:1 ratio. I was almost done the gear grind on both of my toons. Now I have to start over. Now a fresh 50 can come in and in probably one day (if he is capped) have an entire set of WH gear that matches mine. Yes, TL; DR = QQ

Wow he's cool. Wish I was cool.

Awesome! So I just spent a bunch of coin with augmentation kit, transferring all my mods from War Hero weapon, just to be visible in stealth, lol.

Probably a stupid question, but going to ask anyway. In PvP can the enemy see the laser sight of my new Rangehunter E-11 carbine when I am stealthed? I assume they were smart enough to make it not visible but I wanted to check anyways.

Whole lot of retarded ideas in here. My $15, my time, I do what I want.

I play an Annihilation Marauder. Not really a huge Huttball class, but I can jump and I have Predation for the team. But I can't run with the ball and I die fast. I just find Voidstar is very very hard with Commando's and healers clogging the republic side. It's like 20% win chance for Imps I find. I don't mind losing, but we lose too much, and it's always the same kind of classes all piled into one ball blocking bombs on the doors and healing eachother. And nobody on my team attacks the healers, so it's lame. It's far too often a complete blow out. And Alderaan is the same all the time (1 snow everyone mid, whomever wins mid protects it until it gets past the point the other team can't win). Sure I win often enough, but its not fun. Huttball is fun. And I play pug, don't even have a guild. So I get crappy teams all the time, but I still have fun. I think I like it mostly because I hate the other ones. Huttball could be more awesome with new maps, new traps and such.

I am paying to have fun, and Voidstar is anything but fun. I leave Voidstar every single time if my team sucks and we get a bomb planted on us right away. It's just no use wasting my time through that crap, then having to stand there and be beat up on a crappy team the whole second round and not get a single door. So, until there is the ability to queue for specific warzones, tracking or punishing people for leaving warzones is a retarded idea. I leave Alderaan a lot too, I hate it, but not as much as Voidstar. If there is ZERO way of making a come back, why should I stay? Really, I only want Huttball, and until I can only queue for Huttball, you had better not punish me for leaving a warzone. If I get locked out for even 15 minutes I'll probably cancel my subscription. No that's not whining, it's just the principle of the matter. I pay to have fun, and if I can't have fun I don't pay. Really that simple.

I've noticed the squishyness less lately, maybe it was just that one day. I mean if I get focused by 2 snipers I still die in 2 seconds, but who doesnt lol. I can still kill people pretty quick, certain classes anyways. There was one guy last night, but I don't know what class/specialty he was, he just walked all over me through 2 different warzones. He would be on me, and I'd drop to half health in literally 2 seconds, I'd hit the holy **** button popping my 2 defenses, then 1 second later I'm at 10% health, hit undying rage, then I can do nothing to him until he ultimately kills me 6 seconds later. So yeah, he went after me at least 8-10 times, each time I had no chance whatsoever, and I could only last about 10 seconds even with undying rage. I'd even cloak and run and he would just snare me and kill me anyways. If my memory serves me, he was a Jedi Guardian. He was spinning around me so fast, and he was using zero abilities that I could interupt. Just smash smash, dead. I was kinda pissed but didnt want to call hacker right away. I know how to play my class, and I know my survivability pretty well. I don't expect to win against everyone, or every class in the least, but he was just ridiculously good, or his class is just designed to smash Marauders. I'll keep an eye out for him again and see what he is playing.

i5-2500k, 16 GB RAM, GTX 560 Ti, Intel 320 series SSD, the fleet runs like crap. And I'm only running 1680x1050, everything maxed out (except AA is on low). I can play planets, warzones, etc, all baby smooth. Fleet is utter crap.

Yup, good idea. And not only for lower level players. I don't necessarily enjoy standing in the same spot on the fleet all day popping warzones and waiting to pop another one, and another one....then turn it in. I mean really, it might help (although maybe not much?) to increase world PvP if people could go elsewhere, but they don't, they all have to finish their daily/weekly, which requires you to be on the fleet to both start them, and turn them in. Which you have to do daily, so it makes it very inconvenient for people that can only play 2-3 hours in a day. I end up just logging in, staring at the wall on the fleet, popping warzone queues, turning in the quest and logging out. If there was a terminal for quests, and access to the marketplace on every planet, it would help spread people around, maybe get some PvP going on Tat or Hoth or some crap, we all know Illum failed, and really I don't go back there because it's inconvenient. There needs to be reasons to visit other planets. The fleet can be the go-to place for Flashpoints and Operations, let the PvP people spread their wings and fly away! I want to PvP from my ship damnit!

I've done some searching around last night on the forums, searching thread titles about bracers, belts, etc. I havent found a clear cut answer yet, thought I'd ask, sorry if it's been beaten like a dead horse or something. With War Hero gear, am I better off using the non-moddable War Hero belt and bracers? I added augment slots to my legacy orange belt and bracer, but then reallized I do not have a armouring attachment that matches that slot, and can't think of where the hell I would get one. So I'm thinking that it's not worth it to add a PvE armouring or something, because the loss of expertise would be too much. So stick to War Hero belt/bracers? Thanks!

I was looking for the mod stations yesterday, and smart as I am, I knew to open the map and filter them onto the map with the button on the left, thing is, it did absolutely nothing for me. I've levelled 3 toons, so I know how to use the map filters for vendors, shuttles, etc. I turned on mod stations, and looked and nothing on the map, NOTHING. Closed the map and did it again, nothing. I then went around to all the fleet quadrants and found some along a wall by knowing what they looked like. Then standing in front of it, checked my map again, and nothing. Unless I'm missing something, but I expected them to glow, or pop out, or do something to signify they are on the map. I did not check the mini-map though, but I never look at it, it's useless most of the time when I can use the regular map for what I need.

Cool thanks, yeah I ran a couple pug ones last night and got stomped both times, but I still got 35-40 ranked, which is the same as a win in regular warzones. So in all it's worth it to get stomped.

Yes, as I said I realize that you get WZ comms for WZ matches, and ranked comms for Ranked matches...yes at the end I said WH comm, but you know what I meant. Was wondering how MANY ranked comms you get for a win, is it 30, 100, 150, 500? Do you get some for a loss? Deciding whether it is worth it. I mean if you get 100 for a win, and zero for a loss, I'd almost rather just play regular and turn them in at 3:1, when I can get into a warzone so fast, and no need for me to pug a group of 8 and deal with that crap, or join a guild, get teamspeak, etc.

What are the rewards like for commendations for ranked vs non-ranked? I'm currently half BM half WH gear, grinding for the remainder. I quit a huge guild that was like 400 members (lots of alts), that dwindled down to 1-2 people online. Now since the server merge, curious if I should care enough to rush out and find a guild to get into some pre-mades, or pug it up? So like what, 50-100 WZ commendations for normal? divided by 3 = 16-33 WH coms by turning them in. What are the rewards for a win/loss in ranked? I assume they also count towards daily/weekly?

Some snipers can smash me pretty easy, once they go into cover I can't close in on them, and I'm usually snared/rooted the entire match so by the time I get on them it's usually too late. I don't pay attention to all the classes all that much (casual player, no time to research), but there are some Jedi knights that can run circles around me kicking me in the face and twirling around me and I really can't do much. We rely too much on defensive things that have long cooldown timers, and using our interupts. If he is too close I cant jump to interupt, if he is spinning in circles its hard to land anything, and if he isnt using any cast abilities, there is nothing to interupt. Makes it really tough to do anything. I'm not all pro or anything, but I'm pretty good and I know my class. I have to choose my battles, and run when I happen upon certain types. I usually jump in, see what's up, and if he is "that guy" ill just go hit someone else lol. Honestly its only 1-2 people every few matches that give me troubles, and it's usually Scoundrels and Snipers, and Jedi that kick me to the dirt and run around in circles. If you are any of those classes and decide to go toe to toe in my face, you probably will die. Scrappers are the exception, I just get my *** handed to me by certain ones.

Yeah I have no problem killing them fast, lol, but I also die a buttload faster. I could be wrong and just had a bad day, and I'm not complaining, was just kind of asking if im the only one who noticed something.

Hmm, never played Carnage, but I've got my WH helmet, boots, pants, both sabers, all augmented. Got ear and both implants, 1 relic. I'm pretty close to full geared. It's just weird that I know exactly how long I should last, and something seems way off today (and I've never once felt that way since starting my Marauder). Was just wondering if anyone else felt the same today. I'll see what I see in the next few days!

I've been playing my marauder for a while, and normally I can hold my own very well, even against 2-3 sometimes. I've got 3/4 of my Warhero gear, and am no stranger to PvP on my other toons. I've been playing all this week, last week, weeks before...solely on my Annihiliation Marauder. But today, just today, I am getting hammered on. Like coming out of the warzone spawn and coming into 1-2 players and dying in mere seconds sometimes. Sure, once or twice I got 2 shot by a scrapper, but hey who doesnt. But the entire night it was just dead, dead, dead, dead. It got old fast after like 8 warzones and I just logged out. Did anyone else notice a change today? Yeah sure, tell me to get skills, whatever. I'm just asking because something feels different. I found at least 5-10 times just today I was hit so hard so fast I had no time to hit my undying rage, like never saw it coming, and usually I'm good with knowing when to hit it. And this is with only 1-2 people on me.

Edit: just realized this search came from new player forum, lol, sorry Bit of a necro post, but man the social gear in this game sucks hard. SWG had it right, they had Tailors. I could dress my female toons in yoga pants, hotpants, white nighties with pink flowers on it, blue flowers, 100 kinds of dresses, hundreds of patterns on many items, etc. I could submit orders to my tailor to have any kind of outfit I wanted made, in custom colors. Now with the new social gear changes today, I was excited to look into social gear for my female toon, make her look good (even though I only PvP so I have ZERO social points and no way to earn them other than doing things I do not like doing...) I was perhaps willing to go get social rank JUST to have good looking clothing. But alas, every single outfit is lame or somewhat like something that is already available. Get some better gear in here, make a new clothing making crafting class, or whatever, just get on it! there is no unique/differentiating gear. Everyone will be "OMG I NEED THE SLAVE GIRL OR DANCER OUTFIT BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS HIDEOUS". And because everyone will have it, I won't want it. /rantOff
