Try this.. Bubble Qyzen, turn off all his attacks but 1, send him to engage a ranged fighter. When he does damage, send him to fight something else. As soon as the threat level Qyzen generated on the initial DPS dissipates, it will switch agro to you, even if you do nothing.. It's easy to test on mobs several levels below you, and Qyzen will take a good chunk of health from them. Also, in PVP matches, if your bubble "absorbs" a 2.5k hit, you will get the 2.5k heal medal even if you haven't casted a single heal spell. Pretty much a free medal at the start of each pvp match (and especially in huttball when they get pulled into the fire, the ticks are >2.5k) And what you said makes sense (about bubbling people while running by). I've done this too, and what I've noticed is that if they are engaged (i.e. the targets are grey to you), they will not attack you unless your threat goes above the other person. And even when the person dies, they still remain in an engaged state for awhile and wont attack you. But I think that's more of a glitch, or by design.

Nice post.. However, my experience with Force Armor has been different, but I could be wrong, or maybe I am misunderstanding you. The application of Force Armor does not generate threat, but as soon as the consumer receives damage, Force Armor does indeed generate "healing" threat, and in my experience it's the same as the equivalent threat generated by a straight heal (for the same amount)

I was looking for a reason to say troll, because I never have before. It didn't feel as good as I thought it would. I guess defaulting people to idiots on these forums is probably the safest way to make an accurate assumption, so I should have been more clear in my post, .

I guess you are one of those people that choose to only recognize literal statements because they would rather troll. Formatting the drive was the first thing I did, as I do with all laptops, since they are all loaded with useless software (not just alienware).

And mine wasn't a fresh install, but an upgrade. And I removed the Alienware software when I first got the laptop.

Funnily enough, I am running it on the same exact machine as the OP, and the Win8 preview improved my experience as well.

Yea but they had to communicate somehow, and share "intel". While I think for the story, it should be generally avoided, I am all for a Legacy bank,

What about the quest series on Hoth where the Imperial's help the Republic against a common enemy? I am sure they had to communicate with eachother.

I agree with that.. I loved creating camps outside starting cities and having new players just wander up and rebuff.. I used to create master camps in places while I was searching for animals, and although I was a good 30 minute wallk from some cities, people always would wind up sitting down for a bit.

What about walking around Tatooine, before they had mounts?

I was an SWG guy.. Pre ordered CE, played until the NGE than quit.. But, SWG didn't have player cities, ships, MOUNTS, and a ton of other stuff at launch. +1 for becoming a master ranger and CH without a mount.. I remember running around for hours looking for baby graul maulers.. But people complain about "zomg my ship loading screen takes awhile." You had to sit and wait for a shuttle in SWG, and make sure you were paying attention and get on before it takes off. And traveling in EQ1? People, these games sucked when they launched just like every game. But I am happy with SWTOR's launch, and I'm confident they will be adressing a lot of the complaints.
