http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o708/tenshiuta/swtor%202015-08-04%2018-04-58-63_zpsr9rgvjqy.jpg i've highlighted the xp bar (located below action bars by default and above legacy bar once you unlock legacy at level 10) and the chatbox which shows xp gains etc Mousing over the xp bar will show you how much xp you need to level,and how much xp you currently have in total

45 is the earliest you can get the top tier talent,and the lack of aoe can be a pain,but it is doable(not that it wouldn't hurt to get an aoe at lower levels) on the upside operatives/scoundrel get a stackable hot that can be easily refreshed,and sorc/sage get a bubble that absorbs damage.If you decide to level a merc on The Harbinger to check out the server and the class,i'll gladly help out with any questions you may have about merc healing ingame(or if you level one on eclipse just message me on the forums and i'll answer that way)

If you ever feel like it,give The Harbinger a try,i've gotten quite a few decent tanks and rarely any bad ones.Maybe give mercenary/commando a try if you decide to do that,to get a feel for another healing class. Good luck with future flashpoints,hopefully you get more tanks/dps that know what to do.

Secondary color is something that's determined by the crystal you get.For example 'yellow-blue crystal's' are blue on the outside part,and yellow in the middle(aka the core).Maybe one day we'll get to dye crystals like we can with armor,but for now it can't be changed.

If LoS/Kiting is exploiting i guess everyone should've been banned along time ago.

This is getting kinda sad now... Reported,don't click that link it's a referral link

That's a good sign imo,being able to keep yourself and 2 dps up for most of a fight after the tank died from stupidity.Don't give up because of idiots,just put them on ignore if they're really bad and move on,there's bound to be some good tanks and dps on the server you're on,just gotta hope you get the good players.

In my experience windows 8 had issues with swtor,along with other games.In swtors case it refused to run,regardless of what i tried.Guess you're lucky

That's looking pretty good,i don't have much experience with ati/amd but in terms of the card i'd change it to a AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card if you can spare the $90 for it.Faster all round compared to the others such as 260,260x and the base 270.Otherwise,that card is decent.the 128-bit memory interface is a bit low. Edit: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/CyberPower_Z87_i5_Configurator this with the power supply changed to a '600 Watts - Corsair CX600 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply' and the video card changed to a gtx 660 and the operating changed to windows 7 home premium(swtor won't run on windows 8,tried it about 2 months ago.been like that since it was released).it will cost $24 less than the 'Gamer Dragon' with a Radeon r9 270x.which you can use to upgrade a part for a bit more performance,or just keep it.

Well in terms of cpu,you're good.i5 and i7 are both good,the gpu is the only thing to worry about.OPS and Warzones might be the bigges cause for concern.16+ people,a heap of effects that need to be rendered.If you can afford it,i'd recommend a gtx 660,or if you have a further $100(based on prices in Australia) or so you're ok with using,a gtx 760 will be even better.

Overall it looks pretty good,the cpu can be overclocked past that 3.8 turbo if you feel inclined to do it.The video card is a bit of a worry imo,on max graphics at 2560x1440 with windows 7 my card is using around 1gb-1.2gb of vram on fleet.but drops to around 800mb when i turn off anti-aliasing.If you think you might play other games or want max graphics,or near max,a 2gb+ card would be a better option,like a gtx 660ti.It all depends on what you think you'll need,if you play at a lower resolution than i do,aren't after max graphics,and probably won't play other modern games,1gb will do. As an fyi,if you later on start playing other games and find 1gb isn't enough don't look at crossfire/sli as a way to double your vram.You will still only have 1gb of vram,the 2nd card will simply handle other stuff to help improve performance(for example nvidia physx).The only way to get more vram is a card with more vram. The more stuff on screen,the more your card has to render and the more vram used.

Harbinger(minus the kiddies and trolls) is pretty good,just don't expect anything great from imp PvP,there are good PvPers,but also alot of noobs(tunnel vision,ignoring incs etc).Overall it's pretty decent.

Personally i spacebar through most flashpoint cutscenes,unless of course the group agrees to watch them at the start.Telling someone to 'skip' and 'spacebar!' is just rude,if someone wants to watch the custscene,let them.It's not like the flashpoint will explode if you watch the cutscenes or some other strange event.
