  1. So sick of certain classes and specs having the ability to free cast Odessan PUPs. They need to have ties to uninterruptible removed so either damage or interrupts can stop them. It is BS to watch Commando/Mercenary free run into a controlled zone and just sit there turning the node off because you can't stop him/her with anything.
  2. I know the GSI Seeker Droid and Binocular missions have been around for years at this point. I still enjoy the stories but I have a suggestion for AFTER the Heroics are done...when you are using them as abilities in place of mission items. 1) Tie an achievement on new planets to binocular searching. Example: There is a daily on Ossus in which you have to scan a communications station. What about an achievement for "intercepting" a number of enemy communications (sort of like the faction / DvL 5 minute missions in the Rishi cantina 2) Here is the big one though. Can we update the dig sites? The rare item that kills the site is a rating 180-something random purple armor piece. Could this be updated to possibly be even a 246 set piece appropriate for your character? Or how about another way to get those rare crafting materials needed for end game armors? Just something that is actually useful to current players.
  3. I am doing the same with my Merc Healer. Even got the Rahghoul tuning for her blasters. At the very least all of the primary story companions should have an "Infected" or "Plagued" version by now.
  4. My last screenshot I was able to save to the SWTOR\Screenshots location was mid January. I have searched my entire hard drive for any screenshots taken after that date with no luck. So I can only assume that either: 1) My screenshots are saving in the path provided or any other location on my drive. 2) My screenshots are not being taken in order to create a file at the designated location. I have attempted to do screenshots in multiple ways. 1) Ensured keybinding for "Screenshot" is correct. Set up the shot. Click the designated button. 2) Use the in-game provided "camera" to take screenshot. Set up the shot I don't really want because I want a picture of my character. Click the designated button. I have reinstalled the game around mid March and had attempted screenshots both prior and after the reinstall. Nothing has seemed to help.
  5. Definite bump here. I ran into it on my Cyborg Mercenary. He nearly always runs with one of the droid companions and those are the only pets I would like to summon. Great idea.
  6. I would like to see something done to separate those who have achieved Tier 3 GC from those who have just started. It is becoming tiresome facing teams of mostly Tier 3 gear rated and being almost completely ineffective due to the gear level difference. We seem to have moved back to initial launch mode instead of learning that closely balanced gear makes for a much more competitive match. And while we are at it how about a Spam Report designed especially for Credit Spammers with the added bonus of it automatically placing them on your "ignore" list. Thanks.
  7. Hell apparently the servers don't even exist for me. 5:40 pm. Tried logging in 4 times with no servers displayed on any. Tried game restart, repair tool, computer restart.

    Match que flag

    Can we get some form of 'flagging' for matches? What I am talking about is the fact each match should have a unique identifier when the WZ is created. If I drop the WZ; then it should be safe to assume I don't want back in. So why not set up (or put an option in) that prevents that particular WZ identifier from requesting me to join? And please get 8v8 ranked...I hate the arenas (personal preference, I know some people like them). I don't mind once in a while, but if that is ALL ranked matches have, then I will never go into ranked que.
  9. This is probably not the right forum for this, but would anyone else like to see the companions put back into modable armor sets? I love having my companions look different from each other, and most other players. So can we either go back to modable or put in an appearance tab for them?
  10. Not as a complaint. I just have not played my Mara in some time so when I started seeing it I was wondering what I was missing. Nice change, just gonna take a bit to get used to.
  11. Been playing since launch but I don't spend a lot of time reading every detail of every class. As far as I knew only the Guard / Jugg had the ability to get Force Statis / Choke not be channeled. However I have pulled it off a couple time with my Mara and recently in WZs had the same Sent do it to me like three times. What am I missing? Is there a combo or ability that I should be picking up on? Thanks for any help you can provide.
  12. Update. Make that 3 of 4 now. I now have a warrior, inquisitor and hunter all trapped at the Rishi load in. And no response from anyone at BW.
  13. I have the same problem on 2 toons. Nothing has resolved mine yet.
  14. Well not sure what the deal with this random bug is; but it has all but screwed my enjoyment of the new XPac. I have now attempted to load 3 toons into Rishi with the result of 2 being locked at the load in point (worst of all is that 1 is my main toon). I have attempted repair tools, loading other toons, waiting patiently and attempting to load again. All of this has yielded me NOTHING (with the exception of 1 toon loaded into Rishi. Seriously? ***? Oh yeah and I have had a bug ticket in for 2 days now with ZERO response.
  15. While I agree that RWZs are not were you should be grinding for tier 1 gear; it is exactly were you should be going for top tier. I am tired of seeing multiple teams in regular WZs with over 1/2 tier 2 gear bashing the folks who just started 55 WZs. Not to mention all the ROFL stomping that leads some people to quit PVPing at 55. I don't agree that losing teams shouldn't get comms. Instead how about we get some changes to Rated- 1) Put 8v8 matches in. This is the most common complaint I hear from over geared 55 players in regular WZs. 2) Rewards for mission completed should be Ranked Comms. Match reward either Ranked or Regular - either would serve. 3) Allow for queing with group mates even if not a full team of 4. 4) Make the ques for RWZs activate more often (not sure if this is a game code or just the result of fewer players). Just some thoughts but basically - Play were you belong to achieve the gear. WZs for rating 158 / RWZs for rating 162.

    PVP Recruiting

    I am a member of a mostly PVE guild. That being said there are a couple of us who truly enjoy PVP. My experiences in the last couple of days though have led me to understand why it is so difficult to get my friends into PVP in SWTOR (far more so then it was in SWG). First...most of them don't like to sit around waiting for a que to pop so they can do something. However, since SWTOR has, realistically, zero Open World PVP that is the course we must take. So I fast forward through the ~15 minute or more que to get into a Warzone or Arena. Second...as most of them are just getting started (some level 55 with valor 0) they are under or even ungeared for PVP. This should not be a problem though since that is how every toon should start in at 55. I have gone through the need to augment gear and be aware of the difference of PVE vs PVP gear (but hey, you gotta play to get the gear). Third...in multiple matches over the last couple of days I have witnessed 'L33T' players telling my guild mates and I to 'never que again' and such because we suck. When asked why it always came down to our gear. I examined a couple of the players making these comments and discovered that we kept dropping in with groups of 2-4 players who were completely in Tier 1 and higher PVP gear. Our matches were against teams that were all similarly set up (only they didn't have the "scrubs" who just started queing for matches so we can gear up). I look back at this and realize; if I hadn't "cut my teeth" in SWG on PVP and discovered I liked it (in spite of the jerks) I wouldn't continue to PVP in SWTOR. I noticed that there is now a reward for Ranked PVP; so why don't all those "L33T" players go play in ranked? ++by the way I have 2 toons that I have played in ranked and will again once I finish getting them back in all Tier 1 PVP gear++
  17. What I find more sad then that is I have had the same and similar matching in purely Sith arenas. The one I remember most recently was Sorc Healer (me), Op Healer, Juggy and PT Tanks -vs- Sorc DPS, 2 Mara DPS, and SIn DPS.
  18. Here is a thought. How about all of those "old" removed armor types (i.e: Tionesse Agent Armor) for the Agent and Bounty Hunter get offered to Armortech and the same for Synthweaving? The designs are still in the system and they could be made purchasable by credits, tokens, etc. I know I have some toons that I would love to get the older armor looks on (instead of all the "bare midsection" crap on the Cartel Market).
  19. They could EASILY promote the Ranked WZ ques. Just make it a reward. Instead of only rewarding Unranked WZs. Simple fix. Dailies and Weekly are counted for Warzones; not "Unranked Warzones". Step 1 to solving the problem - DONE.

    Huttball Traps

    Fine then. I'll go with the difference is traps. Then make the acid ACTUALLY slow all the enemies. Personally I would like to see both add an uncleanseable DOT. Longer you stay = higher the DOT = more damage and/or slower you get. Right now there are only a few classes that the traps actually matter to. Scoundrel/Operative/Sniper/Slinger = Roll through any with minimal, if any effect. Sage/Sorcerer = Barrier. Sage/Sorcerer/Assassin/Shadow = Force Speed. Trooper/Bounty Hunter = Hydraulic Overide/Hold the Line (but these only allow you to move a bit faster through). Acid should remove any "movement enhancement" automatically. You want to roll; fine but you're stopping that roll at the edge. Force Speed; fine but you're going back to regular speed at the edge. Etc. I'm not the best at PVP, but I'm pretty damn good. I try to know my surroundings, but I still learn new stuff sometimes. I just don't think a healer should be able to heal you through a trap AND damage from a player. I don't think a healer should be able to stand in the trap and heal through it. I don't think you should be able to negate what the trap is supposed to do with "movement enhancing abilities". (Oh and for the guy who said I should time my stuns; I stunned the Juggy IN the acid -should have been fire I learned- so it isn't like I throw stuns out everywhere)

    Huttball Traps

    Can we PLEASE do something about the traps in Huttball. Tired of seeing people just stand in them (either because they were pulled/pushed/etc or they just moved themselves). Just got out of a Huttball where a Juggy on three separate occasions and a Mercenary (Arsenal) where pulled into the acid by me and just stood there taking NO damage. Hell the Juggy was actually gaining life at one point. I know there was an Operative healer there, but come on! The traps are supposed to be a TRAP. Hence they KILL you. Do something. I'm not asking for instant death; but if you get stunned in a trap for 4 seconds you should damn well DIE (regardless of healers). People run or tumble through the acid and fire with no ill effects. Stand in either to gain healing points or because it doesn't really matter. If you want more Huttball, fine; but let's make the map actually mean something.
  22. #2 incentive to do ranked Now the above is all useless and will not be played without a good incentive to play so therefor: - make special rewards that can only be obtained by having a certain arena or ranked warzone rating or points. at the moment it is fully possible to get the best pvp gear by doing unranked...where is the incentive to do ranked if it doesn't give a reward? nobody will take the harder version if you can get the best gear by doing the easy non-ranked warzones/arena's. I was thinking about this after being ROFLStomped in 7 straight WZs by teams full of people who should have been queing for Ranked...but there is no incentive for that. Easy/quick fix, while you work on some better fixes; TAKE THE "Unranked" OUT OF THE DAILIES. Instead of "4 Unranked WZs" and such how about just "4 WZs".
  23. Good tip Fres. Think I will start working through that with my tanks also.
  24. And this is why we don't get anywhere...no sense of community, desire to help others, or just plain immaturity. We spend nearly all our energy bashing others or crying about imbalance instead of doing anything to help others maybe improve or enjoy the game. And I thought the PVP community was bad. I guess this particular server forum is even worse.
  25. I was reading a thread in another forum that talked about a function I have used extensively and it got me thinking. Let's pool our collective experience and share ideas to improve our play. Format- Function/Ability/Trick: Where used: How it assists in play: I will start Function: Focus Target (and its related functions) Where: PVP and PVE Assistance: This breaks into three categories for me based on which role I am filling. DPS - Set my focus to either my tank or other DPS. Acquire that persons target. When used in a group like this it enables rapid kills since 3 or more players are now working on killing the same target. Tank - Set my focus on my healer. Enables me to monitor when my life line is being hit so I can work to peel or protect. Heal - Set my focus to my tank. Enables me to quickly get heals to that target and see his/her current status while still monitoring the rest of the group. What is yours?
