Regardless of gtn QoL changes that could be made, if there are three numbers after the "decimal" it's not a decimal

Yep, still completely optional because even if it gates another companion (which is still pure speculation) that companion is also completely optional.

Feel like this belongs in a different thread http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=633655

They actually did do something like that pre 2.0. Everyone got a mail that sent them on a quest to their classes pvp vendor where they got a free set of "recruit" gear. The result was that people took the free gear and sold it for free credits then went into pvp gear with whatever they had anyways. However back then bolster at max level didn't exist and the recruit gear was horribly inferior to grinder gear. Maybe it would be something to look at again. However they kind of already do that as the gear you get from a fresh 60 bolsters perfectly minus the 82 expertise from crystals so you get 1936 rather than 2018.

People are dumb and can usually be found occurring around people who think they are awesome players but in reality everyone carries them. An actual good player probably wouldn't even notice. Two friends and I ran a hm tfb last night with two people who only had sm achievements and a third who could have been more than second or third time in because that persons achievements were from earlier in the week. The only "problem" was a first pull wipe on tfb. Each of the newbies took five minutes before each fight to read guide and tfb is really something you need to see first hand to really understand it so at least one wipe with new players should be expected.

Nope, I bet you just don't realize how quick that 4 seconds is. Unstoppable applies when you activate force charge (1 gcd = 1.5 seconds) then you land and activate another ability (2nd gcd = 3.0 seconds) ability #2 (3rd gcd and 2nd after landing = 4.5 seconds). Basically you only have an uptime on the ability of 2.5 seconds when it is actually useful depending on how far you force charge but the variance in time of animation won't be that drastic so you lose that first gcd. If you are against a good player they know to wait that extra half second after it takes the human reaction time to process the information. If you make it even easier on them and immediately cast ravage, you give them a visible timer that they can look at to tell them exactly when to hit you with whatever ability they are going to use.

Force choke is counted as a stun, not a movement impairing effect. This is not a bug and is not broken. As Adrian said, it needs to be paired with Robust from the vigilance tree to work as you perceived it.

Check loot rules before killing any bosses, aka if ops leader states one token win per person then people staying agree to abide by that. However if like a group I was in yesterday, if it's stated at beginning of op that 1 dark matter per person and everything else is need if need then you also agreed to that by staying in the group.

1. Ops already give gear to everyone unless someone gets very unlucky with rng. but no you should not exit a single op with everyone in enough gear to fully equip. Ops are quick and easy in sm at the moment with all the bolster available and removed mechanics. 1.1 You can go to odessen and buy the new grade 6 gifts or the lockboxes for alliances with your cdcs 2. If you are still playing the game and didn't understand that this is the direction they were going since early last spring, then you were living under a rock 3. You can level in this game so fast that its rediculous. Auto loot is already available in your preferences window and you have to be closer than 15 meters or so to loot. 4. They are getting compensated for their money with what they buy, they aren't paying for any other portion of a game that is geared towards increasing its subs. It would be nice if people could use customer service but as a subscriber I don't want the already poor customer service that I am getting to be reduced even further by people who aren't paying for it. Your companion thing was a bug... 5. Yes customer service is atrocious and they are even more taxed because so many people returned to the game and like the previous expansion we have been stress testing a beta build basically. If you are unsubbing, I hope you find something else you enjoy.

Congratulations on your reading comprehension as usual

I think the ninja thing that has been happening on shadowlands is that a boss will get to 5% or so in an op and the group leader switches to master looter, takes everything and quits the game. Heard of it several times yesterday and the person(s) were doing it on various bosses in the targeted hm to quickly get 224 gear. Basically, someone sets up an ops group for whatever instance then master loots and leaves after getting to the boss that drops the loot they want.

Why they didn't reverse level sync the way bounty and rakghoul quests do, but my guess would be that it would have required a lot more changing of game code than the level sync instituted it. It would have been better cause then people can choose what mobs they fight/skip on the way to completing their objectives.

I would agree normally but I am pretty sure we would all be better off without the guy that was so enraged and came to the forums to yell at people for being pro-nerf and then equated being pro-nerf with intentionally aborting disabled children because they were disabled... yeah that person can literally go to hell.

HM flashpoint are made for four actual players working together in a group to complete. Actually, if anything in the past two weeks influenced the development patch decision from the forums, it was probably the reports of people kicking and getting kicked from flashpoint because the kicked person was worse than a pre 4.0.2 companion

Anything connected to legacy is a server specificitem. If you transfer a ton to a server where you already have an active legacy, your most advanced achievements get updated.

Yeah, it did feel great to have the wake up call of the first wipe, nobody used any class buff or adrenals in that and we wiped and had a huh maybe they actually scaled this pretty accurately! yay!

So, there is this thing called a post history which you can check by clicking on someone's screen name and then going to statistics which gives two options... you know what they they tell us about the people you are accusing? That you are a ranting, raving lunatic which your own post history supports.

True! Eric did say that, but it also doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is expected to be able to complete each heroic solo and without any real effort on the players part. What he said is true from a certain point of view but it seems like most people are stretching what he wrote into "every heroic 2+ should be solo-able by everyone." There is a huge difference in those two interpretations and that is where a huge part of the communication issue has occured. Unfortunately bioware will get blamed for it when that's not exactly reasonable.

fyi One shot means they only had to pull him once, aka the person did not die and have to do the fight over again.

Did this tuesday night with our group and we hit enrage because of that register bug when he goes below 20%, sometimes if you dont get it fast enough in his rotation it will trigger the channelled manifestations and lightning adds phase which adds about a minute to the cycle and drops you severely behind. On our second try we actually used the class raid buffs because we forgot them the first time lol, but we used them after the second cycle as he stays around for a little bit longer before going into a new cycle. On the second pull he was at 7% when he summoned the dragon. I only have six peoples information but, our raid dps was: Tanks 2477, 1793 heals 1021, 990 (ehps 7.2k) two dps 5329, 4631 and i would guess our other two dps combined for about the same. so guesstimated total of 26k give or take to get to 7% at dragon summons. Enrage timer is 9 minutes btw. Hope it helps

Actually, the mud slinging has been in both directions...

Stuck in a server select screen that says no servers available. Wonder how bad its going to be for me to restore...

Being a completionist is is a choice.
