Actually I spent the better part of two weeks working on this only to find out that I had to find a normal mode group to run False Emperor with to loot the final HK part and since I had hit 55 before realizing this was going to be a requirement queuing was no longer an option. For that reason I pretty much put it off until I could either attempt to solo or bother some friends to help me out. So I've actually lost considerably more than "2 hours of work." More like 6 hours (i.e. about 3 days of play time) of tediously pinging all over the map in various zones, another 3 hours in HM Maelstrom prison (since groups kept disbanding before the end), and another few hours running HM False Emperor groups only to discover that I actually need to run it NM. And this is after the first few hours of preliminary quests. As you might imagine I am kind of ticked off to learn about this. To think I only came on here to check whether Bioware was aware that there is now a giant asteroid right smack dab in the middle of the Syvaris Evacuation space mission (apparently they are). I honestly don't understand the cost-to-benefit ratio here. It's not like this patch brought major changes that merit this level of churn. As a software developer I am well-acquainted with how easily code can regress, but there is no apparent rhyme or reason to the many problems I've encountered since subscribing. A two year old game should be much more stable than this. We're already five months into the latest expansion, so there's been plenty of time to get the game in order. I was hoping to finish up the trooper story line before giving this game a rest for a while, but the little motivation I had to do that is fading rapidly when I can't even complete the same space mission that I've been running for months with no trouble and all my progress on that tedious, mind-numbingly dull, thank-god-I-don't-have-to-go-through-that-again, borefest companion quest was erased. Edit: How ironic. My sub expires today.

In my opinion Sith Inquisitor heals very much like a WoW disc priest. Their Lightning DPS is similar to a WoW elemental shaman. I have yet to find a spec in TOR that is as DoT-reliant as a shadow priest, but I'm relatively new to TOR myself and haven't played all the specs yet. EDIT: After reading the post immediately preceding mine and looking at the Madness rotation on Noxxic, I have to agree that Madness spec is very similar to a shadow priest. I think Inquisitor is the way for her to go.

I'm having this problem too. I opened an in-game ticket regarding this issue last night. The first time I thought that maybe since I hadn't spoken to the priority officer about it I didn't receive credit, but the second night I made absolutely sure to pick up the [HARD] quest. I also noticed that I didn't receive credit for completing my [DAILY] Galactic Conflicts quest even though Esseles was on the list of acceptable level 50 hard FPs to complete for it.

I had issues with this guy too. Compared to all the other elites I've been soloing this guy was insanely difficult. I'm playing a Jedi Consular in Seer spec. The key to beating him was to switch to a DPS companion in order for the DPS to outpace his passive healing. Then I had to use heroic moment to supplement my healing because otherwise I couldn't heal myself faster than he could damage me. Also I AoEed his adds down ASAP. He went down, but this fight was much tougher than any other solo fight I've encountered so far.

And here I thought this was going to be a Lewis Carroll discussion. How disappointing. Well, whatever your reason for moving on, may the force be with you.

I'm pretty sure we won't see the Project Runway Flashpoint for at least another couple of patches, but you never know!

As a f2p player who just broke down and bought a sub this week I have to contradict you here. I had no idea how vast the difference was before subbing. I have 3 times as many quickbars now. My quick travel CD is now 30 minutes instead of 2 hours. I have a reusable fleet pass every 12 hours. Unlimited space missions. Augments. Purple gear. A bank vault. I can actually craft things now (and have spent three days playing catch-up with that). The reason I didn't sub earlier was that I was already outlevelling areas way too quickly despite the gimped f2p XP. I finally subbed because I was planning to buy the expansion at max level and I got tired of running out of inventory space every five minutes and it was frustrating to have epic upgrades without being able to wear them. I suggest you try f2p for a week to see whether or not the sub is really worth it to you.
