This is highly unlikely. More likely is they "mistakenly" added them in the same way 2.0 brought us all the wonderfully useless crafting materials they've since phased out.

For Troopers, maybe, but most classes and specs still prefer ZERO.

Check the 2.2.3 Patch Notes. A fix is planned.

This idea makes me wonder what the Open PVP areas on Tattoine and Ilum are for.

Came here to report the same. May as well bump this thread instead. Jumping looks hilarious and awful now. I guess we can expect this to be fixed sometime in 2014 if BW's bug fixing track record is any indication.

There isn't anything wrong with using Noxxic as a starting point. The rotation and stat priorities are usually spot on and the the talent trees, while often not ideal, give a good place to start. It's easy to hate on Noxxic because you might think you know better, but you don't.

I actually came here to post this exact same thread. My Powertech is only 38, just specced DPS for the first time, and I cannot believe that DPS Pyros don't have a gap closer (I don't count Grapple, since it's ineffective on bosses or other group content). Every other class / AC has a gap closer. Heck, even Gunslingers/Snipers have a gap close ability and how rarely do they even use it for that purpose?

You really haven't the slightest idea what "Pay to Win" means, do you? This companion is purely cosmetic, 100% optional, and in know reasonable way can it be considered Pay to Win. Ahh, ok, I get it now. You're just here to troll. How sad.

I've been reading all the threads and stickies with advice for tanks, but this question is a bit more specific. As a fresh-faced 55 shadow tank, would it be in my best interest to stick with the 2-pc bonus that gives +5% shield chance during Kinetic Ward, despite using 2 level 61 armorings to achieve this? Or, should I upgrade those armorings with 69's, lose that bonus and gain about 50 Endurance in the process? I know, 500 HP for 5% shield chance seems like a no-brainer, but I've been called worse in my lifetime than brainless, so here I am. FYI - My current stats, with full buffs/stim are: 34618 HP 6044 Armor 32.15% DR 21.68% Def (409 rating) 35.68% Shield (798 rating) 42.45% Absorb (815 rating) Greatly appreciate any and all advice.

What about the Free Character Rename we were promised weeks ago? When can we expect that to be forthcoming, if at all?

2 hours sounds like just enough time to sit in queue for a DPS role in a Flashpoint with a few minutes to spare after clearing it. Fortunately having a 2nd monitor allows me to do something else while waiting, otherwise I would have unsubscribed LONG ago.

The selfish is strong in this one. How about the new players who missed the event first couple times? Players which BW has been working hard on bringing into the game. The amount of time, resources and effort they put into the event, it would be a damn shame for them not to bring it back once in awhile. Try to be less selfish.

As a fairly new player, I'm excited to see this event return. However, based on some of the comments in this thread, I'm wondering that when/if I acquire all of the rewards and reputation, will I be forced against my will to return to this event if it returns forcing me to whine about it's existence on the forums?

That wasn't the choice they had, and certainly was not a choice they made. They removed the skills because they were rarely used and contributed to bloated ability bars. Phase Walk and other 51 abilities were added because how awful would an expansion be that raised the level cap without new, class-defining abilities?

Then we're in agreement. As for trading credits for game time in an "unofficial" capacity, the same exists in other MMO's where one person is trusting that the other is not out to scam them. Which, let's face it, is highly likely that 1 out of 2 people in a transaction like this would have devious intentions in mind. Adding an official way to trade game time for credits, which is my suggestion, would negate the trust factor that is inherently missing between two strangers on the internet.

Which is, if you'll notice, the title of the thread.

LOL. What does physics have to do with it? I understand that in the SW lore there have not been multicolored rainbows of Force Lightning, but in what way does physics hinder the ability of a fictional sorcerer to change the color of their attacks?

The problem is, that even on PVP servers, there is no incentive to participate in open World PVP due to the lack of implementation of the concept. As far as I know, you don't earn Commendations for kills in the Open world. There are no objectives to fight over or incentives to be gained. These are two factions at war for the galaxy, but outside of very segmented areas (WZs) there is almost no interaction between the two factions as even on a PVP server you rarely see members of the opposing side.

Another thoughtful, helpful reply that has nothing to do with the idea I've proposed. Thank you for the input.

It wouldn't become easier. You're not thinking about this logically. The mechanism is already in place to exchange Real Money for Credits. You purchase Cartel Coins with Real Money then use those Cartel Coins to purchase items you can trade for credits. My idea simply allows you to purchase Game Time for Real Money, which can then be sold on the market or traded to friends or family who needs it. $$$ > Cartel Coins > Credits $$$ > Game Time > Credits There isn't even an extra step involved in either transaction. Nothing would be easier or more difficult than it is now to convert RL money into credits. It's simply expanding on the concepts already in place.

People already have the opportunity to purchase in-game credits with real money through Cartel Coins. You can purchase a Hypercrate of Cartel Packs and sell them. You can purchase sets of gear and sell them. This doesn't make it any easier for people to convert real money into Cartel Coins or credits.

This makes sense. The idea of purchasing Subscription time with Cartel Coins was a little short-sighted, but allowing the blocks of time to be purchased with RL currency and sold as an item that can be traded is the spirit of my idea. It would also allow people to gift Subscription time to their friends and/or family by purchasing the Game Time and giving that tradeable to whoever the purchaser desires.

Why would I give away the credits that I earned with my own effort to others who have done nothing to earn them? Please be constructive. I am not asking for a way to spend my credits on anything currently in the game. Been there, done that. Let me remind you this is the Suggestion Forum. I am not asking for advice on how I play my characters or use my account. Please be mindful of where you are posting.
