I'm a bit out of the loop, what is the bug?

Too many damage chasing players who would rather use a finisher on someone than stop someone capping an objective. Sorc, unless in the hands of a very good player, is very easily counter-able in a 1v1. They may do a lot of damage, but focused burst? Nah. The pub v premade is very annoying though, especially since the majority of players are, as you've pointed out, not the best PVPers so its incredibly hard to turn things around single handedly.

Swtor is pretty CPU intensive. There wont be a huge increase in FPS as your 460 will probably bottleneck but you will probably notice an increase in heavy load areas such as fleet, etc.

Enjoy your PVP experience whilst you are still new to it because pretty quickly you'll find out how to play and then it gets serious. I expend way too much energy trying to top Dmg, Healing and Obj charts rather than just enjoying myself.

Do we not get a Revan Holostatue for pre-ordering or is that something else?

+1 to the SSD comments. It's blatantly obvious who has SWTOR loaded on an SSD when loading into group stuff. Crucial have some very quick and very cheap SSD's out now, 256GB for roughly £80 if you shop about.

Darth Schism?

Thana is the only character, bar Kira, I've wanted to romance on this game. I'd be paying Treek-like amounts if we could just get her skin for one of our current companions as Inq.

@Darth_Obvious Whilst I agree partly with what you're saying, your example is flawed. KDY required 4 people whereas a Warzone match requires a minimum of 8 and depending on which role you take up, the queue times aren't too dissimilar. However, its absurd to assume that the majority of players on this game are PVPers. PVP on this game doesn't require huge amounts of skill, nor a high end gaming machine but where it differs is the fact its set in the Star Wars universe. When I first joined this game, I found the actual PVE aspect very interesting and fun, as I wasn't that much into SW prior to this, however once I discovered PVP and found I was good at it, I was hooked. But, I started this game with 4 friends and 3 of those 4 play a handful of games just for the dailies and its because they are so engrossed in the Story. Very few games which have detailed story's cater have larger PVP populations and SWTOR is no different I believe. For all you and I know I could be completely wrong and there could be 100 regular PVPers to ever 10 PVEers, but common sense would tell me that on such an expansive game PVE would reign King.

Madness buff. 'Nuff said.

I was also pretty annoyed after finding many of the books I spent $$ on to be on YouTube for free, however reading in my own head allows me to paint my own picture whereas someone elses voice basically ruins some of the fun for me. The Bane trilogy is one of the best I've read and Revan was also a very good read which gave me reasonable insight into his background prior to the events in this game.

I guess it really is a case of whichever is best for you... I've had so much trouble with my Assassin lately, starting off with using Darkness then Deception and then a hybrid of both, simply following the 'good' specs, but today I specced Madness and Lord knows I'm finally do some half-decent damage! By far and away the best build I've used, I'm having 20x more fun than I was using the other specs and now I can't wait for 2.8 to hit live servers !

Hello guys, I came to SWTOR in 2012 but left to due to personal reasons and I returned about 2-3 months ago. My Assassin was the first character I started but when I came back I made a smuggler alt which became my main and my Assassin fell into the shadows, however recently I decided to give him a bash again, and leveled from 20-30 however I am severely struggling with this character so much so that I become frustrated and have to log off. Now on my Slinger I top damage easily in 55 non-ranked but I can barely hit 200K in a full Void/Alderaan game. Now I have asked about and people have told me Node guarding is where an Assassin needs to stick to as i'll just get mowed down if I go into the fray, however even when node guarding I seem to fail. I'll get the drop on a target, however I'll be down to 1/5th of my force bar after Discharge + Shock + Thrash which leaves me with no wriggle room. Force management is probably my biggest struggle dealing with this account as I seem to always be out of force in the most crucial moments. The tree I use is darkness and currently I'm like 3 - 20 - 0 and I'm geared using willpower mods + armoring. If anyone could give me any tips and whatnot on how to make myself better because I love the play style and look of the Assassin and on my Slinger I often see Shadows pumping out high levels of damage with one putting down 1.2K DPS. Thanks for all the help guys.

1 Assasin in the top 100 DPS rankings on TORParse. It's a jack of all trades class for sure, but its been nerfed so much that it's positively feeble in most departments and only has 1 viable DPS tree. Madness is a huge waste, Darkness doesn't have the DPS other tank specs do, which leaves Deception which requires a lot of luck and timing to ensure your burst isn't kak. Even though my main is a slinger, I HOPE they get nerfed soon and the proposed buffs to Sin's are actually half decent.

You are incredibly misinformed/stupid/arrogant if you believe that harassing via a game isn't cyberbullying. There was an incident on Runescape a mere month or two ago whereby a 17 year old was sentenced to 18 months prison time because he threatened to kill someone as a joke over the ingame chat...
