Same thing on Goolud Corridor (EU). I went from thinking its gear difference to skill differnce, back to gear, back to skill, but cant decide. I came to the conclusion thats its both. We have alot of new 50s while the old dogs left. For us imps wz's only open from 5-9pm (sometimes not even during that time) while the reps blast away at eachother in same faction huttball (hence getting valor, gear and experiece). Then these guys go loose on our undergeared, inept imps and all i can do is watch as the idiots in my team get destroyed (i mean, i saw a BM Marauder with an absorbation relic today, why the hell??). There are no premades on our server as there arent enough ppl interested (at least on imp side). PvP is an absolute slaughter fest where i just go afk after i got my 4 medals as trying to help my teammates and give directions is just a waste of time. My win loss ratio since sunday evening is 2 to 46, its appaling and im about to give up pvping altogether, its neither fun to get rolled every match, nor do i get my 3 win daily done. Dont get me wrong, i dont mind losing. I just dislike losing cause of random idiots (thats i the halfway good matches where its somewhat close) or even worse; getting completely destroyed, but i mean, absolutely butchered. Yesterday night i had a match where the wz started with 5 ppl our side, needless to say ppl were frustrated so they left: YAY now we were 2 imps (1 bm, me, and a halfway good healer) against 8 bm reps that didnt even flinch to roll us till the 120sec timer ran out. Way to go douchbags is all i could think.

Only thing id dislike is if the pvp and pve set is actually worse, as i do think it looks awesome and i want to use it. If i cant get an augment slot on them somehow (and i DO NOT want to destroy the gear if i dont get the better version with somewhat okish mats to make it and a 100% chance on the recpie). Apart from that i think its a great change, kuddos BW.

Iv hit BM last monday (late comer i know, but that was due to my server population and wzs not popping for ages). Anyway, i was all happy i get to replace my champ gear with BM now, not for the added stats, but for the different colors. Im sick an tired of looking at my champ gear that im wearing since over a month. But no, apparently the bm bags just wont drop anything for me. My guild mate hit bm a couple of days before me and is wearing a full set -1 piece now. I got 2 tokens (bought 1) and got my saber. But 2 tokens in 18 bags does seem a bit, well, anoying... i just want different colors ffs :/

You should define it more, as someone said before. Does "come from WoW" mean last mmo u played before swtor or NEVER played wow? Anyway, iv played -> DAoC, EQ2, WAR, WoW, GW and im sure i miss a few, memory be damned. On a sidenote, why do ppl always have to hate on different mmos? Is there a point to it?

I completely disagree... I took a 2 year break from mmos before i started swtor and had to get used to keybinds again. It was a bit hard in the beginning, but by now im doing very good again. I dont understand what the problem is. I mean, all the keybinds i have are easely reachable, i know exactly what skills are bound where and have no need to look at my quickbars for anything less then cd on relic + adrenals. Im very sorry if u have to look at ur quickslots to determin what to press to use it, i do not, and so i can keep my eyes on the battlefield and play properly. Maybe u should learn instead of trying to make things easier. Lots of skills, as minor as their individual effects might be, make the gameplay interesting as it allowes u to use them EXACTLY when u need them, not in conjunction with another skill that applies an effect u dont want. It gives more depth, more playstyle differences etc. Why anybody would want to dumb this down is beyond me. Im using: 1,2,3,4,5,6 alt 1,2,3,4,5,6 q,e,r,f,g,s,x,c,v alt q,e,r,f,c,v right mouse button and i can reach ALL of them and know what ALL of them do. I dont want to be rude, but this does sound like L2p issue for me.

He can, yes, however u can immediatly get out of it and try stun him yourself as he either unstealthed or used his mezz (8second stun that u do not want to be in in a situation like that). If u cleanse it he either has to stun u again or run the risk to get stunned, in both cases he wont make it to interrupt the cap. If u still have trouble, just go in 2 to stop him, as u said u were in 3. Best option is to kite him, this ofc, is harder when hes not alone. But in a 3vs1 it should be easely doable. After he used his 2 deff cds he either needs to stealth, pop all his health reg options or try to kite himself as he will die rather quickly. A 3 man team should be able to keep him lockt down in cc for long enough to get him down to at least 10-20% health, after that hes practically a freekill till he gets his cds back up.

That sounds like you got defeated by a combination of being outplayed + gear difference. Id assume the assassin was darkness spcced aswell. Ill give you some pointers as to which abilities gave u a problem there. 1. Deflection -> increases ranged and meele defence by 50% This usually gives a darkness sin around 60-70% chance to not get hit, lasts 12 seconds. 2. Force Shroud -> Immune to all Tech/force abilities for 3 (5 if specced) seconds. Stops stuns, snares etc that are applied by said abilities. 3. Overcharged Saber -> Heals for 10% health (if specced darkness) and also allowes dark charge to proc more often for more slefheal. 4. Spike+electrocute, both stuns he can use to keep it a 1v1 for a short time. If hes not full darkness he might have improved whirlwind aswell. 5. Force Speed -> Runs 150% faster for 2 seconds. This could be why he arrived there so fast (use it aswell but u will NEVER arrive before the enemy, just in time to stop the cap at the last second). Ways to avoid that are placing someone a bit further away to intercept and cc till its capped. Its easy to find the assassin as he has to go the shortest way to get there before the cap and ges visiable through stealth quite easy. Now i highly doubt that he didnt use "any lightning" as shock is pretty much an obligatory skill to use in any spec. Its instant, so no, u cant interrupt it. However, as i assume he was darkness, he probably had HD stacks coming aswell for an uninterruptable Force Lightning that heals for 3% health per tick. I myself like to go and stop the cap on the right side, and its always a nice fight against 2-3 ppl that i manage to survive for quite a long time. While the most important thing is actually to just keep them from capping till help arrives. I usually die aswell if the enemy knows what they do, i do survive though when they suck and i outplay them or their gear isnt great. my 2cent, hope it helped.

This! I love the new armor, cant wait for it

Screen from a while ago, sadly i forgot to make it from the front, but i thought it was awesome anyway! Also, the only screen i have atm, need to make some more. Set is mostly columi survivor with a few tionese pieces. Here it goes, chilling ON the fleet! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/835/ziost2.jpg/

I have a similar issue, since im lvl 50 i dont seem to get codex entries anymore. I click a lore object, get legacy point, but nothing in my codex... anybody know how to fix this?

This. And why do you complain? Cause you get steamrolled by a pvp only guild in a wz? WZ being PVP? If you dont like pvp then dont play it, if you suck at it get better and fight back.

First of all: how do YOU know they havent done their class quest and dont pve aswell? Second: though luck, if their better... their better and thats that... On my server we usually get steamrolled aswell cause imp side consists of players that either halfhearted pvp or just suck at it. Nothing you or i can do aboout it, apart from rolling the other side. Alot of pvpers roll on pve servers, theres many reasons for this and im not going to go through them (theres already a thread on this here on the forums, although a bit old). edit: To reverse your question; if your on a pve server, why do you PVP? See what i did there?

I dont want to be rude here but, what the hell? I hate poeple tht complain about stuff like this. So you got lucky on ur main and got full champ in 10 bags and that carried your "fun" towards BM? Well, guess what, i wasnt, like many others, getting 1 piece of gear in 40+ bags wasnt fun at all. The new system is fine, i pvp with 60% champ, 30% cent and 10%pve gear on my alt and it works great. The "bags of disapointment" (as someone else called em on this forum) no longer exist and i can actually grind for them while making up with cent gear meanwhile. I dont think your a BM, because if you are you have no idea and obviously obtained that rank through blind grind and not "skillfull" playing. People actually stand a chance with cent gear (which is now easely obtained), instead of getting absolutely roflstomped. If you want stuff shoved up ur bumm then ill tell you what, not gonna happen any time soon. This is a gear based game (until now), so go work for it like everybody else. edit: champ bags DO drop gear tokens aswell, just very rarely.

I was quite astonished when i saw this "loot-system". Im usually a pvp player, but i did get some tank gear on the side, just in case. Now, yesterday my guild was missing 1 tank and i had to jump in for ev (my first run). It went well and we cleared the whole thing. The thing i found rather wierd is that random assign system. Nearly all my guild mates have the gear that drops in ev already, 80% the gear that droped i could have used, but i didnt get a single thing cause i was not "destined" to have it. Personally i couldnt care less about pve drops, but my guildies were raging quite hard on my part^^ Even so i can see that its a bit of a flawed system and needs some patching up. Sorry for all you guys that were unlucky with it.

@Derrek: Very helpfull, i guess i can try kiting him once i get out of his stun. Have 2x10m range slows, ill try that next time i go up against him. Forceshroud removes dots aswell, so thats a good tip. Thanks
