Yeah I've seen their level 7 toons on fleet... However I don't always see a message in general chat, so not sure what is going on there lol - only seen an advertising message once so far haha 😁

I reckon we should have /Mate or Mates 😁

Just completed an Arena match and a Solo FP (Korriban Incursion) as a level 80 Pub - performance was great! Hoping that we will be able to have a permanent APAC server like this! I'm from Australia, so for me, the performance was so much better than what I experience on both Star Forge and Satelle Shan 🙂

Indeed, this is a terrible change How can a level 20 something toon go against a level 50/60/70 something toon? You simply don't have enough skills and most of the time you will get steam rolled... I've been playing a couple lowbies - in the level 20's since the patch and it is just now terrible... I used to enjoy the lowbie PvP, but it isn't enjoyable anymore with this change when you get matched against higher levels like 50+ in the WZ's Only reason I could see BioWare doing this for was to boost WZ pops for sub 75's, but without thinking of the consequences and that the cost of that change will be too high overall!

It is a shame that ranked is toxic, however I think it is more to do with the type of people that play it and that they take it so seriously they seem to lack any basic human decency when dealing/communicating with others rather than the activity itself. I am generalising though, as there are also some nice/decent people, but unfortunately the toxic folks spoil it for everyone else. Then these same players wonder why the queues don't pop as often as they would like - the irony lol As for the devs - sure they can do nothing as usual and leave things to be forgotten by not answering community questions as that's their usual track record. But why not do the better thing and actually engage with the community devs? Why even have a community manager and we went through a phase with Keith promoting more communication with the community if you all aren't going to answer questions that the community has about various things? My guess with this topic is that either someone forgot to check which replica rewards they were up to for Season 12, or they are holding back the old Furious reward replica's to be either offered later or don't want to release them for another reason. Bioware/devs; why don't you just man up, explain your reasoning/line of thinking for this decision and we can all move on? No matter the reason, even if it was a screw up, the end result will be a lot more positive for the community as a whole rather than giving us all the silent treatment as usual... Open communications both ways will go a long way to improve the attitude/feeling in the community, and further community engagement will have the flow on effect of further improving Swtor as a whole

So why haven't they given an explanation or answered the question so far?

I don't leave any, even if back filling I'm not a big fan of the newer huttballs like Quesh or Vandin though, but I'll stay for the team vibes My favourites are the 4vs4's, all the originals and even Odessan

Oh I see! My apologies and my bad for that! So with regard to the question Bioware - Devs, can you give us an answer please?

Which vendor on fleet? Are you sure it is the Kell Dragon gear? The light side vendor sells the old Dread Forged type gear, that was the generation after the Kell Dragon with the animations - as far as I am aware, Kell Dragon gear has never returned

When did that happen Mero? I don't believe it has...

Lol Merovejec, stop try to bait the other players, I know what you're doing lol But yes we all do play for fun; but there are other reasons why people play too, some for the social aspect, some like the rewards, some like how the gameplay is etc. Some ranked players like yourself play for the fun of it which is great, also others play for fun but they also play to earn rewards etc. whether they be the flairs or weapons or Armor etc. While playing for fun is why we are all here, some of us also play for other reasons as well in addition to having fun - there can be multiple reasons to play and to play certain parts of the game for people, and everyone is different

Indeed; Devs could we get an official answer on why Season 3 ranked replica rewards were skipped for Season 12 rewards?

Hey Daniel, As others have mentioned; is there a reason why replicas of the Season 3/furious rewards are being skipped and we are going straight to Season 4 reskinned rewards for the end of Season 12? Like many others I was assuming we'd be having reskinned Season 3 replica rewards this season and had been saving my tokens for them over the last couple seasons as I wasn't involved in ranked back when Season 3 was originally going. I agree that it will be a great move to share the rewards at the start of the ranked seasons so players know what they are working towards if they after some of the rewards. However can we get an answer to the question around why Season 3 replicas are being skipped?

Yup I main tanked years ago, but this is one of the reason's why I called it a day as a Tank main... I now main a Vigi dps, and will always be patient and let the tank go first We do have a shortage of tanks in-game and it's always good to see new ones rising through the ranks. Unfortunately some other players give them a hard time which sometimes causes them to stop tanking all together - then the same players wonder why they can't get tanks when they need them... So if you're a dps or a healer, do yourself a favour and look after your tanks, what goes around comes around ~Ace

Indeed, it can be done immediately; but as cagthehack says, the longer you leave it the greater the chance that someone will get the name I've done this in the past - if it takes you a while on the character customisation screen, take some time before hand to customise the character and then note down all the different appearance numbers on the right side. Then when the time comes, you can quickly run up the numbers, type in the name and then you're away Don't forget to transfer any items or credits you want off your existing toon before re-rolling

/Signed I'm a long time APAC player (since 2012), I would definitely like to see a West coast server return, but realise that not much may come of it... Ping use to be 180 on Harbinger, now 240 on Satele Shan / Star Forge...

For the Republic!! Long time player, Pub at heart ~Ace

Hmmm, even how things are currently; if both servers were merged, would the one server be able to cope with the load? Also factor in things like big updates or expansions which usually sees a surge of players returning/trying the new content - will one East Coast server be able to meet the demand? ~Ace

Yup 110% Accuracy is the way to go, the magic number is 743 of the Accuracy stat total for 110% (with buffs and the companion 1% bonus) As mrwayn says; most vigi Guardian's run the high Alacrity build which feels great (feels nice and faster paced), however probably only a few run the lower first alacrity cap as I do, just as I feel that works better for me - can't go wrong with either ~Ace

Remember too; what might work best on a dummy/paper doesn't necessarily translate to being the best in the thick of the action. Personally I use to run a high Alacrity build quite a while ago, but then switched over to the low Alacrity build and found that worked far better for me in ops and with my playstyle However as mentioned, there isn't much difference between each so either is viable and if one really wanted, you could try out either build and see which works best for you ~Ace

Thanks Keith, I'm looking forward to seeing what's on for 2018 in Swtor! Hoping there will be some new endgame/group content and 2018 will be a better year!

Greetings Friends, It's a very challenging fight indeed! I recently completed the KOTET chapters a few weeks ago in Master mode I play a Vigilance spec Guardian, 248 gear rating and had Lana at level 50 influence and did it solo with Lana and the other NPC's there that join in Two point's in the fight that are hard - when those sabotage droids come out as you mentioned and also at the end when the Captain comes out - he can one shot you indeed! I used everything I could in that fight; heroic moment and unity for when there is a lot of damage going out (such as when the droids come out), cool downs and using the medpac that heals both yourself and your companion etc. I found LOSing didn't work for me especially as I'm a melee DPS, but instead went ham on the offensive big time Interrupts are key, especially on the adds that channel the force blast type effect and I think the Captain does a cast that needs to be interrupted (forget if it is a force blast type or something else). Also I found single targeting the elite adds and taking them out one at a time worked better, so they didn't all focus me, but rather their agro was spread between myself and the other NPCs helping in the fight. Another key for me was when you get a small pause as the fight goes on, take the offensive and start hitting the regular Skytrooper adds as soon as they start spawning/running at the entrance (their burst/spread fire really hurts too!), I found that helped me to keep on top of things. I hope the above is of some help, will post further if anything else comes to mind. Keep up with it though, took me quite a few tries but felt so rewarding after managing to down it Also there is tougher to come...(if you're working your way through Master chapters) the old GenoHaradan in the temple at the end of the chapter (chapter 2 I think) with Acina are even harder I found However it definitely feels like an accomplishment/achievement and rewarding when one gets these challenging fights down! ~Ace

Greetings Mate, I haven't had any issues of getting kicked lately; I was playing yesterday evening Aussie time for a few hours without any incident (I'm from Australia on the Eastern side) Hope your connection improves/has improved since you posted! ~Ace

It's nice to see some positivity indeed friend But as most are probably long time players (myself included), things do get a bit stale after a while which is probably why there are a few laughs in this thread But with that said, I think we all do enjoy the game very much and hope things will improve in the near future

Oooo yup, I main a Vigi Guardian and started to do a little season 9 ranked recently, and yup if you're the only Guardian or the less geared DPS Guardian in the group, you'll be one of the first to fall As regards to Vigi/Focus - play whichever one you enjoy the most
