That was a terrible change, you should be able to queue for ANY flashpoint for your level at any time. In the rotation, there should be at least one low level flashpoint at all times.

You cannot and it's a pity. It's annoying that we don't get a proper dual spec with saved action bars and wardrobe change. I read on the forums that apperantely the excuse for not making this is " for RP reasons" - yeah right As leveling up is so fast and fun now I rather level a new character for my favorite advanced classes for the other spec instead of going through the hassle to rearrange bars and equip gear every time.

^ Yes this is a good way to improve influence with the first class companion for free (and get some xp) and be aware that it doesn't work after KOTFE anymore. And when you buy gift for common crystals for the grind from influence rank 20+, price check the GTN for the kind you need first. For example it's a waste to buy courting gifts for crystals, buy them on the GTN and sell more expensive gifts from crystals to finance that.

Have you checked all parts of his ship? I remember when I did the quest he was in another area than he was supposed to be. Or if you did search everywhere already, log on/off and exit / re-enter his ship.

IMO the advantage of doing KotFE with alts is a larger choice of companions, for example for my Dark Side Jedi Shadow I wanted Xalek, as there isn't a dark side Consular companion. Another minor advantage is that you can buy better things with common crystals without having to pay 200k for the transport to the gift vendor and the vendor with pets etc. is story locked.

^ You could try to lose your GSI droid by having him attack one group and then run far away to the next group / room, around a corner, aggroing more groups and killing them. Sometimes he doesn't keep up (keeps fighting first group) and just disappears instead of teleporting to you when you are far enough away.

I'd like to know too, as I am about to take an Inquistor through KOTFE and later a warrior. I really don't want to lose Ashara and Vette. (You can get all other comps on all classes back now?)

Send your companions on the "trash missions", then switch instances and cancel all the missions (you get refunded), now the other missions appear. edit: I'm not sure if a rich mission exists for every mat for every crewskill for every tier. Some tiers the best may be "bountiful".

Tactical FPs are boring zergs and often you can completely ignore mechanics...also healers and tanks become fairly useless. They may want to complete tacticals for the weeklies/dailies but still play their fav. spec and not respec dps. I would have preferred if they solved the "too many dps, too few healers and especially tanks" problem differently. 6 man groups with 4 dps for example (cross server would also help to have enough people for all level ranges) , or allowing companions or npcs as tanks/healers (nowhere near as strong the droid in solo flashpoints and only if no human tank/healer was found within 15min for example.). However , doing a quick tactical is better than no FP at all if the wait would be too long.

That's a bug on some willpower gear. The medium/heavy armor has correct stats and better than basic comm. gear, except that healers get some useless accuracy.

I also like this overview: http://swtor.onsberg.net/?p=212 Unfortunately it's only for implants, and doesn't tell which blues exactly RE into the useful purples i.e accuracy and power, alacrity and power and not the jack-of-all trades implants with too many different secondary stats

It would be cool if the costume system worked like in Rift, i.e. a second paper doll with the cosmetic gear, that can be changed for free at any time. If we are unlucky, we get something like in Gw2, i.e. needing a rare drop/reward item or buy it with real money every time you want to change the look. (so you are better off, ripping the mods out)

Yeah I don't see how that is shameful... I mean you rightfully earned that gear, doesnt matter which character you were on, still the same person at the PC

This. Better gear = faster, that's always a plus for dailies and weeklies. Currently the highest daily zone is very easy even with 178 gear (lowest anyone going to Yavin will have) and comp in 172 or lower. New daily zones will probably be introduced later, with mobs with higher hp and damage. For example Oricon was a PITA to me in 156 gear with comp in cheap 148s. Not hard, just too time consuming to be fun.

Well, considering companions tend to stand in bad stuff, I like them having high HP. A dead comp means zero damage/ healing / tanking Cool stuff, Ashara, Andronikus, Vette ,HK-51 and SCORPIO will be so happy (gonna use Bowdaar and Broomark more too)

I found HK-51 a bit lacking in dps...less damage than melee dps comps and compared to range dps he has no AOE. The instant kill has a really long channel , I prefer to just kill the mob instead of standing still so long. His advantage is the cool look and voice/quotes (some classes have really bad/annoying dps companions) and that fewer people have him. Treek is better than the other tanks though, as she also heals a bit and her special abilities are better. As healer she heals in bursts instead of small steady heals, which may be worse in some situations. She contributes more dps in healer stance though. Also I only needed one set of gear for her.... all around healer/dps gear (even for tank stance, she usually survives long enough anyway) I think melee comps are the best for most classes: They deal the most damage and can tank for a while too if you are ranged and send them in first. Tank and ranged comps could use a little buff to be more useful compared to them. I don't use healer comp often lately , because either they can't keep up with healing (noticed this during leveling especially, silver mobs hurt) and I need to self heal/ channel after fights anyway OR I need little healing and using a companion contributing more to damage or soaking up damage would have been faster.

I'm really looking forward to it..... I will use different companions more often instead of pretty much only the melee comp and Treek if I need heals/tank. (getting good gear for all of them used to be a chore and badly geared comps slow you down) Looks like good stats for Ashara. 95 % acc. is enough to hit elites and below...perfect for dailies. If you're fighting boss level enemies you can just swap some pieces for accuracy. 0 % alacrity ... have never parsed it but I think melee dps comps have little use for alac. (doesn't help bleeding stance and you'd need a ton of alac. to significantly lower their long ability cooldowns) Her offhand is not fixed? Because in the pic she uses an orange off-hand. Can you also get legacy gear for droids? Tthat would make crafting droid parts (lvl 55+) fairly useless though.

This is only for grade 9 and and 11, right? I'm pretty sure I've critted for purple mats on moderate/abundant grade 1-6, but haven't double-checked after 3.0

/signed 55 HMs should be in their own category seperate from lvl 60 HMs and still queueable 56-60 55 Tacticals should be in the same category as Battle of Rishi and Blood Hunt...because of the CZ weekly and only 2 FPs is not enough variety . A lvl 60 doesn't makes the 55 tacticals too "easy" because they were a cakewalk to begin with at 55. (with somebody speccing healer you can even ignore most of the mechanics and breeze through.....) edit: Oh it's going to be changed Great news

Yes please! Would be such a simple fix but so helpful (finally being able to alt-tab or do something else in the room and notice the queue sound). Ideally I'd make it very loud , at least as loud as warzone pop sound, with option to turn volume down if you so please.

Endless and too frequent loading screens and the overall poor performance of the game engine (flow fps, frequent stuttering / rubberbanding) is probably the worst aspect of the game for me. Getting your flashpoint and pvp dailies done with the many long loading screens for small areas (fleet, pvp zones, flashpoints) and then to your questing planet (hope it's not Alderaan, Corellia, Belsavis or Voss....) is a PAIN. Also the shorter loading screens that frequently happen within a zone are annoying as heck. It's not a mainly user hardware issue because many other MMOs have shorter loading times, despite larger areas. SWTOR does many things right but performance is poor.

IMO 10 bonus commendations don't make up for the fact that in the two new flashpoints you have a shot at three pieces of 162 gear vs two in the old ones (or just one if your tank refuses to do bonus boss). Old FPs take longer too. (too much trash and running) I guess if you *only* need comms, random makes sense , once per day. My tanks and healers only queue for CZ flashpoints, but dps does it once per day for a faster queue pop.

Schön wärs wenn man die Varactyl auch zähmen könnte.. aber nein es gibt sie ja nur (ganz selten) in einem Kartellpack. Naja mein TaunTaun ist auch ganz nett

Agree. Yes, but only with "auto accept" if you are currently in a loading screen, so you don't miss the invite.(not sure how it works currently...I don't think I've ever missed a queue yet even though my loading screens are up to 4minutes ) 30sec is not too short if you are not immediately ready, because you can just accept and tell your group politely that you just need to finish your fight and will be coming as soon as possible. BTW it would be GREAT if the group finder sound was MUCH louder, so you don't miss it if you are alt-tabbed. Agreed. Yes. No, many people give MVPs randomly or to their friend/guild mate and not the most valuable player in the WZ. Experience gain could be buffed accross the board though, it is really low in PVP IMO. Indifferent. Yes, it's pointless. Inventory full -> mail Make it possible to hide it completely Yes. No, prefer watching the players and figuring it out myself. No, it would just be another credit sink. Planning your trip with QT ability CD is better IMO. Yes. Agreed. Would be cool. While I would like to get more CC without spending real money, I think it would screw up the economy. Hmm.. how about a random queue with extra rewards and queuing for one or more specific WZs? And more WZs would be cool so the hated one doesn't come up so often...

I agree...the instance limit was already lowered in a recent patch but it still seems not enough.
