It is a shame it was cleared so fast even if the guild that cleared had been testing it for some time. And I understand the arguement, "Lets see how quickly they can kill it on Nightmare." Which i suppose is valid but it sucks that they have ALREADY SEEN all the content, they just have to kill it with it having more HP and doing more damage.

If you let people unbind raid mods then people will be able to gear out with best stuff in game without setting foot in an op. If you do not see the flaw in that then I don't know what else to say.

Just go play RIFT if you want to raid. It totally, utterly destroys this game and any other when it comes to raiding.

Agreed. It makes EVERYTHING a gear check. It downplays the effect actual skill has on raid progression. You can have the most skilled 16 man group in the world but if you simply do not have the gear to meet the required DPS, you wipe. Maybe they do that to slow progression but as we have seen in SWTOR progression is not slow. Now a REAL raiding game RIFT, takes months and months to progress thru the highest tier instance but there are also 11-12 bosses. Enrage timers are also involved but you have clear Hit/Focus ratings and enrages are more of a particular boss mechanic rather than a global mechanic.

Yeah I really do hope BioWare delivers in 1.2. I hope to see some unique exciting loot out of the new OP and I hope the top guilds on servers will not clear it the same week it comes out. If that is the case I can't see myself resubbing. I mean take HK in RIFT. Now THAT is raiding. I just now killed Akylios and it was SOOO unbelievably rewarding. Not to mention how beautiful the fight was itself. If SWTOR can offer something even close to that I will stay.

You can't post on the forum without an active subscription right? Most games are that way. Those people saying that are lying and mostly trolls. However the game does have some serious longevity issues at least for the more hardcore side, hopefully they address that in 1.2 properly.

I been playing SWTOR since right after launch. I came to it from RIFT. At that point we were kind of stuck in Hammerknell and a bunch of people left for SWTOR so I went as well. And I will say leveling in SWTOR was a BLAST, I enjoyed it alot. I didn't like having no combat logs, or /rolls and in some ways i missed macros and something was just weird about combat but all in all I have had alot of fun. I have been through all of the endgame content at this point. I tank for a top guild on Empire side Jedi Covenant and we have done all the Nightmare 8 man stuff we are now working on 16m just for something to do. Anyways don't want to make this too long, it just feels like "something" is missing. I have never once got that heart pounding adrenalin rush from killing a boss, where everyone just screams and cheers when that boss hits 0% after a bunch of attempts. I don't know if its just the raiding isn't as difficult or involved in this game but something just is not there. Don't know if I like the way gearing is either but that beside the point. I recently went back to RIFT along with a few others and I will say I appreciate a few things about that game now after SWTOR (especially raiding) but I will indeed give SWTOR more time with 1.2 around the corner. TL: DR - Does anyone else feel that something is just plain missing from this game but its tough to put your finger on?

Well I don't get why you guys think im trolling or lieing to make a point. I work most of the day and I come home and game. I got into a raiding guild, Delirium on Jedi Covenant and we starting clearing ops. We were able to clear them on normal mode right away and everyone just seemed to get geared up so fast from doing that, pvp dailies and HM FPs that it seemed like after 2 weeks from hitting 50 I had no more incentive to run HM FPs. Then we started working on Hard Modes and there was actually some wiping but we have been able to clear all the content on Hard Mode as well. And after a few weeks of this everyone is pretty close to full Rakata gear only think I still need is a main hand. I got a full tank set and 3/4 full DPS set. We are working on Nightmare SOA still, only boss we haven't downed. Some of the bosses are easier on Nightmare like Fabricator and I don't understand that. But anyways yeah the fact is this just isn't a game for the more hardcore raiding players that enjoy a challenge. I just do not get alot of entertainment from fluff content or watching the same cutscenes over and over. So i did not intentionally charge through all the content it is just how it happened because BioWare let me.

If you are looking for a build to Off-tank effectively just use the Carolina Parakeet build. It is just mathematically the best OT build.

We only have Rapid Shots, Unload, and Heat Blast that even use the blaster so I wouldn't say its really that big a deal. What i think would be cool is to do more with the Generator/Shields. Every other class has DPS on their offhand except for us it seems so maybe they could add some type of aesthetic for our off-hands somewhere on our armor or make us glow a certain color with it or make them modable or something.

So what do you do when you have full rakata gear after two-three weeks? Nothing to grind, no rep to work on, PVP does get old lets face it. Furthermore, I've never gotten that adrenaline rush feeling while killing a boss in the game... I hope it improves in the future but as of now this game is severely lacking for the higher end players.

Don't PVE people get bored with Call of Duty? Point made.

O so that means its okay that it doesn't hit as hard as it says it should? By the way, tanks also factor into a raids DPS I do not know why people totally disregard that. Yeah that don't account for as much but even a few percents on a Boss especially in Nightmare makes a difference. Also more dmg = more threat. The more you know :::::::::::::::::::::::::::*

Been pvp'n in CP build and it seems to be working fine. But since you didnt say what you thought was wrong I dont really know.

lool actually no.. I am a Magical Sorcerer fk Wizards. But ya I meant, 31/8/2 my b.
