This is horrible. PvP is horrible and none of the changes that need to be made have been made. Trying to push PvP on people who don't like PvP just because you won't fix it is the worst kind of situation. Plus, the GTN is already out of control with pricing and now you want to add a resources that 95% of the player base will not get through PvP. These will be so overpriced that it will be unreal. Horrible decision Bioware trying to push PvP on people. Guess I won't be getting the new augment.

When performing Penetrating Blasts on my marksmanship sniper, the sound and animation are only showing 1 or 2 blasts instead of the 5 that it should.

So having been able to get Revan's Mask, I'm a bit upset at the fact that every other set that has unlocks has either been in the same pack or have unlocked separately if they were in different packs or different purchases. Take the covert energy armor. It has separate unlocks for the different packs the pieces are in. But with Revan's, the belt and gloves came in a separate pack but the unlock is for the whole set. I don't think that is fair. This is the only set that this applies to and since the gloves and belt are more rare than the mask is, it makes it impossible to unlock. This should be fixed to reflect that those pieces were separate or put them in the embargoed area so we can at least purchase them and unlock the set.

Why not make Birthright gear orange modable gear? I mean, this is supposed to be a "legacy" inheritance from character to another. Between PvP and FP's and Heroics, I am usually way overleveled by the time I am finished with DK or Coruscant. Making them orange modable would make it better than using something for an hour and then having it take space in inventory.

Spent 3 weeks trying to farm Saber Marshal's gloves on Drommund Kaas. 2hrs a day. Gave up and finally bought them on the GTN. For a whopping 800,000 credits. Don't know if it was worth it but completed the set on my Sorc.

You know I have been playing this since Xmas of 2011 and never once have I heard of anyone doing this. I have a bunch of unbound items that I try to get rid of on the GTN, but maybe I should go to the planets they are level consistent with and see if anyone needs them. Not like it cost me anything to get them. Thanks for the idea. And a shout out to the person that did that for you.

I agree with this. They should put the head+chest+legs in a separate unlock. The did it for invisible stuff. Why not these. Especially since they were in separate packs.

How about putting a dye slot in speeders so we can customize them at least one way ourselves. I think that would at least make it look like there aren't thousands of copies of the same speeder roaming around.

Bought my Revan a couple of months ago and a Nihilus this past weekend. The only reason I am trying to max my Oricron rep is to get my Tauntaun unlocked.

Yeah, I run Arcanian and UW SA relics. I liked that they would proc at the same time. But I guess they don't want us getting too powerful. So I think I will switch my Arcanian for a Boundless Ages. Not as much power but I can run it even when the other procs.

I wasn't in favor of the packs at first. Over time I have come to realize that they are probably what is keeping the game afloat. But as I started getting more and more items I did realize that they serve a purpose and you can put together some truly nice sets from different armor sets. So they have their place, just some of the designs they put in are truly mind boggling. I'm not going to say I can do better because let's face it, I work on the security side of IT, not graphic design. I'm not arrogant enough to say I can do better. But I have to wonder where they are getting their ideas from.

Hydra armor is my favorite for BH. But finding it in open world is hard and buying it can be really expensive. As for adaptive, I really like the look, (and I didn't think I would) of the Expert Fighter and Vintage fighter for my Juggs. For my Agent, love the combo of Unfettered Trench and Concealed body suit leggings. My Assassin I am using a hodge-podge of pieces; Relaxed Uniform chest, Genteel dress sash, Imperial Dancers legs, Outlaw boots, Phantom gloves. My Sorcerer I took the time and expense to find and buy the entire Saber Marshal's set. And of course for my Miraluka, Visas Marr's set. So, personal preference plays a huge roll. You can put together some really nice adaptive sets and there are some class armors that are really nice also.

If the play style is the same as an Annihilation Marauder, you might also want to throw some alacrity in there also.

I'm not saying everyone has to agree with me. In fact, there appear to be some people who don't and that's fine. If anyone thinks that the post is a waste of time, don't read or comment on it. Your choice as is buying the pack. Which I probably will for the armors and mounts I want. I'll sell the rest because there will be people who buy them. But I'm just trying to wrap my head around the design dept.'s thinking. Yes, I will agree that new crystal colors are needed. And kudos for trying with the new one. Not for me. Don't see myself putting it on any of my toons. But I'm just expressing my opinion which is what the forums are for. As for the Satele Shan armor request. I don't want and exact copy. In fact, I would like it to be different but with the same style cues for the boots and chest. Again, that's my opinion, I could be wrong.

So as far as armors go I only see 2 that i would like. Forget the weapons, nothing new there. I do like the Ikas speeders. And the crystal is just hideous. The camping regen could be fun. But really? PBJ time emote? Only if it does the song too. The dewback is cool. But the Veractyl is just another reskin. Honestly, the Peacemaker armor makes you look like a giant P***s. The Manhunter armors look like bugs. Come on BW designers. Give us something we have been asking for. Like Satele Shan's set. Or something similar. And don't get me started on the 3000 CC Tauntaun. My Tauntaun that I got for my DF run is much better looking. My 2 cents.

Yeah, If you have artifact 66 or above, there should be no problem. Certainly not in 69's. My assassin is in 72's and above and I have no problem with any of the bosses. Again, it's l2p your character. You can't tank and spank only with an assassin. You have to use your interrupts and and cd's. And gear your companion good. I use Xalek to run with and I have him geared in mostly 69 assassin tank spec'd gear. He pulls aggro while I whup up on the bosses.

This is a total l2p problem. I can faceroll all three hard-hitting bosses with my jug, sin, and sniper. I say it is a l2p problem because I cannot get by the Subteroth with my BH. And I know it is because I don't play my BH very well. So balance is not your issue. I have my Assassin spec'd as Deception, which in game parses less than Madness, but I enjoy the play style so I take the lower dps hit. I can get through the Subteroth with 25-50 percent health, I can get through the Commander with 50 percent health or better, and the other one I can get through with 75 percent or better. Granted when I was in 66's, it was difficult, but first time out for my 3 main players I took them down. So l2p and use your cooldowns and buffs. Don't cry about how hard it is. I know it is hard because I am having issues doing it on my Bounty Hunter. But that is because I am apparently not playing my BH right. So get over it. Learn 2 Play your character correctly and you will be fine. There are plenty of people in this thread that have told you how to beat these bosses. Use that information.

My female BH is using Mira's armor. I think it is a great look. I changed the color with a Red/Black dye and it looks great.

To go back to the car analogy, you can put a turbo on the engine of Pinto, but it is till the engine in a Pinto. Not to compare SWTOR with a substandard car, but that car was actually liked by a lot of people. SWTOR is the same way. Yes, Some of their solutions are just to take things out of the game. But if you look at when the game went into development, this engine was one of the better ones out there. Compared to what is out know it is like that Pinto, but they can only do what they can do within the constraints of what they are working with. If a person is using a machine that doesn't do the job when the settings are set on low, then maybe they should upgrade. I have a 5 year old HP desktop sitting in my office at home, but I am not about to try to play SWTOR on it. I know the hardware cannot make it run near as well as my gaming rig. So if my gaming computer decides to break, well then I am S.O.L. This is why they have minimum hardware requirements. If a computer is not running it very well, then maybe it is time to upgrade. I know some people don't have the income to invest in a whole new system, but at the same time they have to be realistic on what their systems can and cannot do.

Gotta agree with this. AI would just be too easy for players to overcome. Look at the game War Thunder. There is a reason they made it a PvP game. Of course there are objectives for leveling and not just shooting down planes. It looks like this may be similar to that . I'm stoked for it. I don't PvP but this is definitely going to be my foray into that area. I posted in an earlier comment that fighting against AI is boring. Someone mentioned that that's what you do in PvE. But there are objectives to do also. PvP for me isn't really objective oriented. Not counting hutball which I didn't like the one time I played it. But if they did GS right with objectives, I think I'm gonna love it.

Well, I don't PvP so I can't speak to changes in that area. But in PvE, Deception definitely parses lower. Probably due to the fact if you are on a dummy you can't get behind it to do a maul shot. I think the numbers might go up a little then. But having played madness and deception I can say I like the play style of deception better but it needs to hit harder. Deception isn't really raid friendly unless you are well geared, ie. overgeared. Madness because of the dot heavy attacks doesn't really take that into consideration. Yes you have to be sufficiently geared for the raid but when parsing it definitely hits harder than deception. Personally I think they should up the whole armor level for assassins to medium. This is after all a melee dps. And let's face it, in a raid there is no stealth attacks. And Assassin Tanks would do well with that added bonus also.

So it took them over a year to get GS ready. That apparently isn't good enough. You actually have pve space combat; it's what you have now. I don't get it. You screamed for space combat and you got it. I don't PvP, but I will on this. This looks like so much fun. Fighting against A.I.'s is boring. Real skill comes from fighting live people. So be thankful for what you are getting. Yes i have my problems with some of the things that EA/Bioware have done, but I'm not going to blast this before I even play it. If they did it right it looks like a lot of fun. Just my 2 cents.

Ok, those are 3000 years in the future....

They need to do some work on assassins/shadows. Bump the armor to medium and the fix the lightning/stealth? trees. Not enough dps in those trees. Lightning is my favorite to play but does not generate enough dps in Ops. Have to use Madness for that. In FP's and solo content it is fine, but I would like it to be viable for Ops too, along with an armor upgrade cause lets face it, a lot of the stealth stuff doesn't work in an Ops environment.
