I got earlier as well when logging into the website. Only once though. Even after I typed it, it still took me to another page to do my security key.

Just gonna go through what I've played so far. Consular: I would Attros Finn on Coruscant instead of Tharan. I simply hate Tharan. Hallowed Voice on Belsavis instead of Iresso. Something about Iresso irks me, and an Esh'Ka would make an amazing companion. Lastly, Stark instead of Nadia. Nadia irritates me and Stark is interesting. Warrior: Master Timms on Belsavis instead of either Jaesa or Broonmark. Both versions of Jaesa irritate me to no end. Also, while I like Broonmark, I simply can not stand the sounds he makes. Inquisitor: I dunno. I love the entire crew, so I don't know that I would replace anyone. Agent: Sanju Pyne on Balmorra instead of Lokin. Honestly, Lokin bothers me so much, but I don't even know why. And Mia Hawkins on Tatooine would have been a nice addition as well. Maybe in place of Temple. I don't mind Temple, but she's just kinda.....there. Bounty Hunter: I would LOVE to have Crysta as a companion. I knew it would be unlikely, but she was a nice bit of comedy. Smuggler: I've only gotten through Chapter 1, so I don't really know any later characters. I would like to have that Sullustan lawman(don't know his name) on Coruscant as a companion. Trooper: Only on Taris, so can't say anything really. Knight; Eh. While I'm not crazy about Scourge or Doc, I didn't find enough of the characters you meet to be memorable. I would have liked to have Tala-Reh from Voss, but yeah....

In 1 hypercrate, I got a dathomir boot and pants, and jarael belt. Definitely quite rare when compared to other sets that we've had lately.

Today was seriously nothing but bad pugs for me. First was my Merc. Was doing Core Meltdown tactical. Everything seemed like it was going to go smoothly. Everyone seemed well geared, except myself only being 55 like a week on this character. We had a powertech, sorc, and a sniper. We get to the sandstorm boss no problem. Well, the boss didn't work so well. The powertech pulled aggro the first time and kept it. Well, first sandstorm he just stands in the center. I finally pull aggro off to lead him to the generator. Well, the PT follows and taunts back. The issue, was he wasn't close enough to the generator. So the smash does nothing basically. Unfortunately, we actually wiped. We give it a second go and things go better. I was stuck trying to hold aggro to actually drag the boss to the generators as the other(much better geared) people were unable to maintain aggro. Rest of the FP goes rather smoothly. Second boss took longer because the PT who had aggro never brought him to the spores after the first one wore off and getting knocked near the door Second was on my Guardian. Queued up as a tank, got Athiss HM. Group is myself, scoundrel, vanguard, and a shadow. I guard the shadow as he is in full 180's/186 and will likely pull aggro regardless. The healer starts whining that she needs it more. So, I took the time to explain the mechanics(which I'm sick of typing now) She seems to understand so we move on. I ask if we're doing bonus. Both DPS don't mind, healer says nothing. So, I say we'll just do it normal as I want a quicker run. Well, as the instance progresses, I notice is constantly chain pulling everything. After the pulls after the first boss, I ask what she's doing. Now she says she wants the bonus. I politely told her that she could have spoken up when I asked and I would have gladly pulled the extras for the objectives. All she says is "okay" Well, she did it again. After that, I told her "your pulls, you tank" Next pull, I waited until she died to even join in. This was followed by some very unsavory comments which makes me grateful my filter was on. Anyway, second boss was a wipeless disaster. The healer was more focused on dps'ing the boss than healing. Neither DPS were killing adds. And I simply couldn't kill them fast enough. Luckily, I had good timing on my DCD's and the healer used enough sporadic heals that we didn't wipe. In the tomb, the healer proceeds to attempt to stealth her way through the champions which myself and the shadow told her not to. Well, she does anyways which immediately aggros everything in the rooms. So, each room was at least 2 champions active at once. Sometimes 3. Once we even had 4 because of a patrol. Well, we kill the bonus boss with no issues. I waited to see who needed on the deco before deciding. Only the healer does, so I needed it out of spite. Well, I win it and she throws a tantrum. And because I feeling a bit vindictive, I used it right then. Well, she finally says she's not healing me through the last boss. I even told her I didn't care. Last boss hits like a marshmallow anyway, aside from the DoT. Well, we get through the boss with no problems, save the vanguard lagging on the flames and dying. Deco drops again. I pass it up as I made my point earlier. This time, the shadow needs it and wins, uses it. He proceeds to whisper me, "Damn, that felt good being a bit vindictive" TL;DR I ended up with a new item for my GSH, a healer on my ignore, a couple new additions to my friends, and I'm no longer pugging tank unless I absolutely need a fast pop.

I actually did switch to Vigilance/Shien before zoning in. I probably should have specified that, but c'est la vie I suppose. I'm not overly sure what heal it was the healer was using, as I always get the names confused. It was the one that has the higher cost and quicker cast. I haven't touched my sage in a good while, focusing more on getting my sin through the final HM progression and beginning NiM.

Just got another one on my guardian. I seriously came straight here when I left, it was that bad. Popped for Cademimu SM. Oddly enough, I queued up as a tank and got in as DPS. Not complaining, less responsibility for me Our group consists of myself, a guardian tank, sage healer, and mando dps. We all zone in, say our pleasantries and off we go. First thing I do is pop an XP bonus from random questing. I notice the tank is just not pulling at all. We seriously stand before the first pull for two and half freaking minutes before I say frock it, and pull. Everyone joins in after, tank taunts what she can but isn't pulling enough aggro, so I almost instantly rip it off again. Almost immediately after the first pull, the mando leaves. The tank says someone needs to get a replacement. I say I don't have lead, the healer does. She replies, "You're the lowest one here, what do you know?" I manage to shove my foot in my mouth to avoid a rage. Out of curiosity, I inspect the achievements of everyone. The tank has completed the following FPS: Esseles, Athiss(only first 2 bosses), Mandalorian Raiders(only first boss), and a few KDY stuff(I've never done KDY in my life, so I don't know). The healer has completed: Directive 7(only first 2 bosses), False Emperor(Only 1st boss, only on HM), and Battle of Illum. Well, after a good couple of minutes, the healer puts in queue and we get a sentinel. I inspect her real quick. Gear is all over the place. I'm talking every stat spread out through every piece of gear. Achievement wise, only Esseles completed with first boss of Hammer Station. We get to the droid patrolling the elevator, I manage to force push it down and it dies. Tank rages hardcore saying I need to learn what I'm doing. To which I reply "Says the one who has only completed 1 flashpoint" She shuts up and we move on. Before even moving on the elevator, she said she had wait for her Saber Ward to come off CD. I told her it doesn't matter and she can use it mid-pull if she feels the need when it comes off. She refuses to move until it comes off CD. Whatever. Instead of following my lead to skip the packs after the elevator, the tank pulls one half, while the sentinel pulls the other half. Aggro is all over the place, healer can't keep up and we all die. On the topic of this healer, I don't know that she used bubble once. And I think the only heal she used was Benevolence, with the occasional Rejuvenate(not even on CD) After that, each pull is the same. She refuses to move until Saber Ward comes off or only has like 5 seconds left. The sentinel slices the security gate and we start the pull that is after that. I wait a few moments before I use sweep to try and avoid stealing aggro on everything. Well, it doesn't work. Literally, all but 2 things are attacking me. Which is now 3 strongs, 2 standards, and the champion droid. I die in a matter of seconds, healer dies not long after and we wipe. I seriously jumped ship immediately. Out of curiosity, I looked at the timer of my XP bonus I popped at the beginning to see how long it had been. 25 freaking minutes and we didn't even make the first boss. I was simply dumbfounded. I mean, I'm fine with a longer FP if it's with new people who want to learn or people coming back and are a bit rusty(I know I was when I came back). I'm helping people learn the game and their class, and usually make some good friends. But, that was just ridiculous.

Had a pretty frustrating run on my guardian today. Queued up as DPS(I wasn't in the mood to tank) and got Athiss SM. First, it takes like 5 different pops before we get a full group, 3 of which all timed out, so it took a good 10 extra minutes just waiting for someone to accept. Our composition was me, a guardian tank, a shadow dps, and sage healer. When we all enter, the tank immediately drops group without a word. Something, I still don't get. I mean, if I get a FP I don't want to do, I just ask for a kick instead of dealing with a lockout. Anyway, the shadow proceeds to pull the stuff around the elevator instead of just dropping down. Well, he dies and rages that no one helped him. I tell him to just drop down the hole and ignore the droids. I kindly ask him to just stealth pass the mobs guarding the explosives. He proceeds to do so, but then force waves them on the way out. >_> We get a replacement tank, a guardian. The pulls to the first boss go rather well, but the shadow is taking a page from Bad Shadows 101 and using Force Wave on CD, Shadow Strike without procs, so on and so forth. First boss, the tank isn't holding aggro on anything, at which point I realize she isn't even using a form at all. Luckily, we down her with no one dying. Boss drops a strength head piece, which the sage needs on accident. She apologizes and politely offers to trade it to me or the tank. I explain that mine is better, while the tank says nothing. We move onwards, with the shadow continuing his bad playing, making things a bit more frustrating. The tank tries to help, but is extremely rude about it. I whisper the shadow, trying to give tips, but he gets quite defensive about it. Saying things along the lines of sticking to my class(my sin is my main and is working towards NiM content), l2p noob, and others. On topic, one of the random mobs drops a green pair of willpower gloves. The shadow needs, and the tank begins to rage. Telling people to stop ninja-ing drops, saying this group would have fallen apart without her, etc. and proceeds to rage-quit. I queue us up, yet again, this time as a tank. We get our replacement, a sage dps. This sage would constantly run up, force wave, and run to a knocked back mob and only use double strike. I don't know that I saw him use project or TKT once. Second boss goes surprisingly well. On the way to the last boss, the shadow actually listened to my suggestion of CC'ing some of the mobs to make things easier, and rarely used his force wave. Last boss, things go well at first. Healer is cleansing the DoT's in a timely manner so she can assist with DPS and make things faster, but the dps sage is still just.....yeah. First stealth the dps sage gets the flame debuff, and just stands there and dies. He rages about not getting heals, and the healer says "I don't have a cleanse for stupidity. #sorryboutit", at which point I about lost it. Funniest thing I've heard in a while. She releases to the start, and runs back. Well, we whittle down the boss. Then I notice about 6 red dots circling round my map. The sage just ran through pulling every single mob in the temple. She makes it to the boss, and dies again. And rages again. We manage to kill the boss before getting overwhelmed. Before we wipe, I ask the shadow to force cloak so we don't need to run back. Well he doesn't. So, despite killing the boss, we have to run back through the temple to get the freaking objective done for it to count. We loot the boss, and he drops a willpower chest and an assault cannon. I just greed both. Chest went to the healer and I got the cannon. I checked to make sure I didn't need(I get paranoid when I get something not for my class), which I didn't. And yet again, the dps sage rages about how he didn't get anything. I quickly left, ignored the dps sage, friended the sage, and got an apology from the shadow for being a bit rude earlier and even asked if I could give him some advice or guides to read. TL;DR: Wrongly arrogant "tank", very angry DPS sage, good healer, and shadow who actually listened to advice.

Got a pretty bad one earlier today. Queued for my daily HM 55 FP run on my 'sin. Got Core Meltdown. Popped in and our group consists of myself and an Operative as DPS, a sorc healer and an assassin tank. I notice the tank has only 28k hp. I normally try not to put much stock into that, so I ignore it for a while. First few pulls go rather well, but aggro is pretty much all over the place. I also notice the tank never used dark ward. Well, I don't' say anything, thinking maybe he's just a bit rusty. We get to the room with the sandstorm boss. We're all just standing around waiting for the tank to pull so to avoid a potential disaster. The healer asks if he needs an explanation on the fight. No answer, so she explains anyway. A few moments after, the tank pulls. Aggro is just a horrible mess. It's then, I noticed 2 things. First, the tank is relying on taunts to keep aggro. As in, he only keeps aggro for a few seconds after the taunts wear off before myself or the operative takes it. Second, creeping terror and crushing darkness were ticking on the boss. I knew it couldn't have been me as I'm specced into deception. The sorc had been using innervate and revivification throughout the FP so far, so it wasn't her. It was the tank. Specced madness. The tank never brought the boss to the generators when he had aggro and always taunted the boss off of me when I tried luring him over. As such we wipe. Healer asks the tank why he didn't bring the boss to the generators. "no English. Russian." was the response. Lovely. So, out of curiosity, I inspect his gear. It was simply atrocious. His saber was a combination of willpower hilt, alacrity heavy enhancement, a lvl 12 color crystal, and an aim mod. Yes, aim. He also had a strength shield generator, a lvl 32 cunning belt, a cunning/strength chest, lvl 42 cunning earpiece. The list just goes on. His over stats ended up being around 250 aim, 300 cunning, 1k willpower, around 900 strength. So, I ended up respeccing to tank which I despise doing. Especially since the only tanking gear I have is a generator, an earpiece and implants. We get back to the boss. The "tank" types in chat, "Godzilla kill?" I about lost it at that. Well, I pull boss and hold aggro for the most part. The "tank" in constantly using taunts, so I had to constantly counter with one of my own throughout the fight. Second boss. A lot smoother. This mostly just consisted of the "tank" and I having a taunt-off, seriously screwing up my positioning of the boss, and essentially gimping the operatives DPS. Last boss, the "tank" was like constantly bring the circles to someone. This made things pretty hectic, and take a lot longer than necessary. Well, we somehow take down the boss with no deaths. Healer made a remark. "That fight was a lot harder than usual for me. Actually ran out of force a few times. haha" 'Tank': "Bug thing dead? Boom?" Me: "Now I remember why I never tank. Ever. Sorry 'bout the rough aggro" Operative: "No worries. Hardly your fault. Healer: "Yeah. It was mister Godzilla bug man." I ended up walking away with a new entry to my ignore list, 2 new friends, one of which offered to be my pocket healer if I needed one. We both spent a good while doing our Oricon dailies and even joined a TFB pug that was just a blast.

Quite a few actually. Tython because it has that sort of serene mystery to it, that would be perfect for me. Voss for the fact that its scenery is so amazing. It is easily my favorite planet in the whole game. Which is such a shame because it always seems like it's over far too soon, not counting reputation grinding. Now, if we could choose planets not in the game, Manaan or Kamino for sure. Having an underwater complex would be amazing along with some domed structures above the sea. I also think that Dathomir would be rather interesting.

I seriously opened my first pack and got a Dathomir Rancor mount. I was naturally, excited. However, I was very freaked because now, the Higher Powers That Be are going demand something of me. I know it. Opened my second pack, got a XoXaan chest and a stack of 3 purple Jawa Junk stuff. Now, I'm extremely scared and want to cower under my bed for fear of Divine Retribution.

I used to have the same issue. Unfortunately, I never came up with a definitive fix. Sometimes, I would try using it from a different spot(i.e. to the sides or a corner) and it would work occasionally. It is possible that lowering your graphics could fix it. I had problems on my Consular that were similar. I would initiate a conversation and an NPC would just stand there and nothing would happen. Lowering my graphics always seemed to fix it, but I hadn't tested it on my Agent with the Holoterminal bug.

I actually really like this new pack. Pretty nice sets and I think I can make some nice outfits out of some of those pieces. On another note. Opened my first pack and got the Dathomir Rancor. Somebody loves me

I've honestly been waiting for this kind of thread, but just didn't wanna start it. Ignore my sig when reading this. Hasn't been updated in a long while. Here we go: Consular: The only companion I like is Qyzen. I did notice a lot don't like him though which makes me sad He compliments the personality of my Consular nicely so we made a good team. Agent: Favorite here is Vector. He is so delightfully creepy and weird, but he's also incredibly sweet and funny. He was a delight to have around and would love to have him accompany some of my other characters. Second is little miss SCORPIO Sanctions. She was so morbid and evil it was hilarious. I used her pretty much exclusively after I got on Belsavis. I wish she had just a little more dialogue to showcase her personality. Lastly is Kaliyo. I just loved her dialogue the entire time and her storyline was great. She and my agent made a pretty kickass female spy duo. I often times found myself going over dialogue twice, sometimes three times, just to hear what sarcastic remark she would make. Inquisitor: I honestly love all of them, except Ashara. She really just rubs me the wrong way. Khem was just so evil which really suited the personality of my Inquisitor. She's a completely sadistic psycho and loves his desire to devour Force users. Andronikos was really sweet in his own way and brought out the soft side of my Inquisitor. Talos was so perky that it was awesome. He served a nice kind of assistant role. Xalek was interesting. Sadly, you just don't have him long enough to really get a good sense of him. I liked him though. Smuggler: I actually really like Corso. I know most people don't like his overly chivalrous attitude, but I thought he was really sweet. Just the kind of man I want, lol! Bowdaar was so hilarious. He even says one of the best lines in the game, for me. "I want to climb a tree before we leave" He has so many great lines, that you just can't hate the Wookie. Trooper: I only have Aric, so I will withhold judgement. I have heard some of the droid's lines though while questing with a Trooper friend on my Consular. He's quite amusing, that I think he'll be a nice comic relief. Warrior: So far, I only have Vette and Quinn. I really do like Vette. She's witty, hilarious, and a delight. I've yet to form an opinion of Quinn. Bounty Hunter: Really like Blizz and Torian. Torian adds a nice bit of Mandalorian culture to the crew. And Blizz is a Jawa with a freaking rocket launcher. 'nough said. Knight: Only have T7 so far. So, I'm going to withhold judgement for the most part. T7 is amusing. From my interactions with Kira so far, she seems funny. Not sure if I'll like her though.

Well, it mostly depends on which AC you choose. They both play very differently which will impact how you approach each fight. If you choose the Sorcerer, you will never use your lightsaber. Like ever. Period. You have 2 skills that use them, but your Willpower does not affect the bonus dmg so they hit like a snowflake when compared to your other abilities. As such, you will always use your ranged skills. Even if the enemy is punching your face in, you still shock them with lightning. Or. you can spec into your heal spec, Corruption, and let your companion take the beating whilst you heal him. Regardless, you will primarily be standing at a distance during your encounters. If you go with Assassin, you'll primarily be in melee range using a combination of lightsaber attacks and lightning/force attacks. No matter which spec you choose, you do have skills that work at the 10m range. These skills being Shock, Force Lightning, and Discharge(there may be more, but I can't remember) You can use Recklessness to increase Force Lightning's range to 30m. So, you have 2 real options. You can either start out from a 10m range with shock or whatever and wade in to start using your melee abilities. Or just charge in and start beating on things.

So far, I'm rather pleased with this sale so far. Only things I didn't get was the pistol as I was out on a date at the time, the quick travel passes(rather self-explanatory), and the CorSec baton as I already had it in my collection. Got the GSF ship for the odd times I wanna get on GSF. I really loved the chance to get the Solus and the Varactyl mounts. I was hesitant on the Varactyl, but I really like the color scheme of it.
