For me I make lvl 49/50 epics while trying to proc mastercrafted items for myself/guild then sell the junk epics on the GTN, which would explain the pages of items sometimes you get lucky other times you need to make 12 or so items before you crit

Agreed

To me it felt like leveling was too quick for all the quests and voice acting in game there should have been more incentive to do all the quests, I personally leveled doing pvp, space, instances and the class quests while skipping regular quests with an other person co-op to 50 it was fast and I felt like I missed a lot of the interesting stories as i got too much xp. I've lost a lot of interest in the game which is a shame as I had high hopes for SWTOR with any luck things will only improve over time but the damage is done, subs will drop people will jump on the next games out there GW2, secret world tera what ever, we need more content or legacy system to make doing the skipped quests worthwhile doing. hopefully SWTOR will work out its issues but in the mean time people are dropping which has a cascading effect on other players. Good luck bioware, make this the game it should be

Awesome to see some changes coming in, giving OPTIONS is always a good thing, Thanks

Betatest

here's hoping for a hotfix

I was just talking with a GM regarding the issue as the flashing lights have been giving me a headache. The current suggested fix for the issue is too play without the UI showing you can do this by pressing Ctrl+U hope that helps and may the force be with you http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx135/mort316x/gm1.png http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx135/mort316x/gm2.png The chat helped me out now I cant see anything but there's no flashing hotbar at least, the GM has sent my feedback on, hopefully we will get a fix soon! update After further game-play I realized that whilst using the GM's advice I could now not click my keybinds this was a bit of an issue as I need to use my abilities to attack. However all is not lost if you use the "Alt+Z" hide UI command instead of the disable UI one suggested by the GM you can happily use keybinds once again awesome! Hope this helps people to not suffer from the current UI style with motion sickness, headache's or seizures until a fix can be implemented today.

Shame that's the only real option the Gm suggested, that and turning down brightness

No The UI update to the hotbar ruins my play currently

my god please roll back the UI change to hotbars its disgusting and horrible to use AT LEAST give the option to turn it on or off I can not stress this enough its horrible!

Looks very nice, here's hoping the look and feel of the video translates ingame, the driod lamps in the dark are very interesting hope it works out. Side note once we've got the first content patch will more bug fixing come in as the game is frustratingly buggy atm.

Ive just had a 4hour gaming session where I ran slicing missions nonstop I ran only Rich yield missions of different ranks mostly level 5. My income was 24,274 my outgoing was 16,430 total profit 7844 per hour profit is about 2k credits I also got 7 mission items 3 epic and 4 blue of which can be purchased on the AH at default listing price or less. As it is I don't believe slicing is worth the loss in a crew skill slot.

I would invest any time you've got before you get access on building her interest in gaming, then let her make all the choices during questing, if your very lucky you might just get a co-op partner.

Bonus Wave Please!

Agreed this needs to be fixed It will mess up peoples plans otherwise

I would prefer flashpoints/ops to only drop useable items by the groups doing them, doesn't seem too much to ask for. However it maybe there is some design balance or time sink component that pure random loot gives Bioware that just handing out rewards faster they would miss out on. Good luck next time, and remember not to stress over the early stuff as you'll be out of that gear pretty quickly.

It still relies on the person who won to willingly trade the item though, so ninjas will still happen, I am going to be using master looter in my groups from now on though.

I agree fully, seems a few people are having trouble already with the loot system, I guess during beta people were more easy going.

People are still getting used there characters so mistakes will happen, also they could have selected need for the companion or just be a loot Jawa. I would prefer a PUG mode for loot where you may only role Need if you can equip that item on your character and the main stat eg aim or str matches your class. Also add a separate companion need button (rated above greed) if any of your companions can use that item. Most of the issues with loot can be eliminated by simply grouping with more experienced players or friends though, I hardly ever pug but if I do I would like more security in the future.

I am all for this, but I would add forced criteria to being able to click need in the first place as in if you cant equip the item on your character you can't even press the need button. The fact is unless its forced while in a pug you never can tell, why even give the ninja the option to need if they don't like your chosen loot options they can get another group. So I would ask for your system need/companion need/greed but forced specifically for when you don't know your group members.

Biochem looks good for everyone but as a healer you may like this BOP recipe http://www.torhead.com/schematic/attenOk

one thing I would add is that I noticed in beta I had synthweave and was making bracers the cheapest item i could make for a couple of materials and selling for more than the cost of the mission to collect the materials. My girlfriend took artificing making color crystals they however sold at a loss for a few times lower than the mission cost, so make sure you experiment on what your selling to get the best results when making to sell to venders at least, on the GTN color crystals easily made more money than my bracers and sold fast. Regarding RE there are generally a few recipes you can get from one item say mods for example you could have the recipe for +8 endurance then from that get a prototype recipe for 8 more by repeatedly RE them.
