Yep thats a good suggestion! I am very surprised not more people are posting here...in my view this is such a big issue we cant be the only once wanting attention to it!

When 1.3 hit I was assuming this would be how it worked...as this is how other MMOs have done it. But yep you're stuck on the fleet again having to live through the very long load times again... It would sure be nice if we would be returned to your original location indeed!

This really needs more attention... I really quite like my shadow but I have to keep track of 2 procced abilities one with barely a graphical indication the other with NO graphical indication and both are without a sound indicator..so I end up staring at my buff bar in the hope I see a tiny little icon pop up telling me I can use those abilities.

I agree something improving on ability procs identification needs to happen. I made a thread about this yesterday as well: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=494475 This really needs to get more attention...

Do you happen to have a consular or inquisitor that has finished act 2?

Gief chat bubbles noaw.

No one else is thinking the same? Or perhaps I didnt explain it clearly enough? I cant be the only one that thinks like this

One of my biggest annoyences with the game... I have always been a "good" gamer as in I side with the good side. I tried playing Empire a number of times but all NPCs I interact with are just evil bastards and I just dont like it so I severely prefer The Republic for the overal "feel". However...I reallly dislike the armor the republic gives me especially as I just rolled a male Shadow...its horrendous! I loooove the imperial armor however...but I cannot use it. This should change...please for the love of god let this be a player choice!

Read the patch notes mate.. All friendly AOE = green all enemy AOE = red.

Been playing SWTOR for quite a while now...since last summer to be exact. It has always bothered me that procs just arent all that clear on when they have procced this is especially bad for certain classes. Played an Assault Vanguard for quite a while and I could live with the whirling around me and sort of "giggle" when my proc happened so I could fire of another HiB but I still didnt find this all THAT clear in the heat of battle with dozens of animations going on around me. Now started a Shadow and found that it is near impossible to see when my abilities have procced...I keep having to look at some tiny icons in the hope I see a certain tiny icon pop up so I can use my procced ability. This causes me to having look away from all the action...and is really bothersome. We need a much more clear indication of when our abilities have procced. A certain other rather large MMO has done this by clear icons popping up in the middle of the screen (and once you can choose to have as well so if you dont want it...you just disable it). I really wish SWTOR to go this direction as well and give us an option to make procs VERY clear so you can keep your eyes on the action going on around you and away from the tiny little icons.

Once ya go Pyrotech ya never look back Id advice you to give a Bounty Hunter Powertech a try!

Try a Bounty Hunter Powertech specced into Pyrotech. Mostly melee class but still viable and able to do something at range.

I can confirm it to be false...its just not true. I have played both a Mercenary and Commando at 50 (before switching to this vanguard I have now) and the resource is exactly!! the same

Remade my trooper into a Vanguard recently (was a Commando before) and found at certain occasions in the story you got a porting item planting you infront of the senate building. Doesnt happen each time you're send there but I did get it a few times...was a nice change

That would indeed be amazing...and wouldnt mind having some personal around besides your companions.

True it would be nice if we had more missions like that...you're the commander of Havoc Squad though so we're supposed to do what we do the rest of the story.

Id go with 2/3 as you will be using HiB a lot more then AP. AP is nice but...buffing up HiB has a higher priority.

Ha got a filipina wife as well...who also loves this game In any case...you can also make Dorne a bit more exotic looking through customizations!

Gun Current full name Major Gun Organa An Assault Vanguard on The Red Eclipse!

Commando perhaps...Vanguard has never seen better days!

Should make it Commando in the OP as the Vanguard is in great shape

I have to agree on HiB it does just make a silly sound...would love to get something on the line the bounty hunters have. Also our attacks could overal be a bit more visually impressive as I do believe the bounty hunter has an edge on all animations. Armor and weapon wise however....the trooper wins by far. Also like the troopers ship a lot more...and even though people complain about the troopers story a lot...I also have a 50 BH (Merc) I prefer the trooper...especially the final mission is kick *** So yeah...bit more flavor be nice...but...love the vanguard more anywayz!

Having both a 50 Sage and a Guardian (among a few others) I know that people like you obviously havent played both. Sure Sage is ahead at the moment due to the insane Hybrid spec...which is being removed (nerfed if you want to call it) in 1.2. Take that away...and Id prefer a Guardian DPS anyday.

Reported it as a bug And Im using all my companions ^^ Rusk is quite a beast when his overdrive beam is turned off

It seems that the Overdrive Beam attack from Sergeant Rusk is bugged for me. It does minute damage compared to his other attacks and turning off Overdrive Beam (the attack unique to Rusk as a ranged DPS companion) severely increases his damage output. Anyone else notice this?
