lol... Noted.

Honestly, I feel like almost any class should be able to use any weapon they want with minor restrictions. Ranged classes should be able to have any ranged weapon, imo. There should be less restrictions on dual wielding as well. It should be a playstyle choice, regardless of class/spec.

Going off of the info above, I'll probably be selecting The Bastion for the server. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm a returning player. I played in beta and for several months right after release. I quit the game for awhile (not due to disliking the game, but because I was busy IRL). Now that I'm back I'd like to roll a Jedi Knight and have fun with that. I'd like to make him on a PvP server and I'm searching for server suggestions. What's a good PvP server with a good selection of guilds and at least semi-helpful people? Any guild suggestions for a new-ish player on that server? Thanks!

Because the grass is always greener.

A bit disappointing. But, who honestly plays an MMO for the graphics? The game looks fine (I play at 1080p, on a 42" display). I'm happy enough with the graphics, to be able to enjoy the rest of the game immensely. Not to say that I wouldn't like to see high-res textures. It would certainly add to the game. But for me, the 2D sprite foliage takes away a lot more immersion than the textures do.

In my previous MMO experience it was 30 days before the price started to drop. No clue about this game, though.

As soon as the OP started stating his opinion as fact, I stopped reading. That was about 5 lines in.

Wait... So you waited to go UP the elevator to the VIP area. Then when you returned, you somehow forgot that it was an elevator, and proceeded to run down what you perceived as a hallway, then fell to your death? And this didn't just happen once or twice... LMAO! So funny....You suffer from short term memory loss. No game mechanic can repair years of abusing your brain.

And, opinions being posted on this forum are based on 100% pure fact, and universal opinion that every single man, woman and child agrees on.

It becomes an issue when every piece of gear you see that's an upgrade has a light or dark point requirement on it. You'll then be forced to pick light or dark and focus on that if you want gear upgrades.

I've seen nothing but positive reviews, other than people complaining on these forums. Not sure those count as "reviews" though. PC Gamer gave this game a 93 I believe. Most places are giving it a 90%+ score.

I have friends who don't even play games and they know what WoW is. Either the OP has lived under a rock until earlier today, or is a 0/10 troll.

You have to be on a low-pop server. I can't run around more than 30 seconds without seeing someone, and there's 100+ players in almost every zone I enter.

Romance is part of this game. As a dude myself, I would feel very awkward acting as a chick trying to romance another dude.

I originally chose Powertech in beta because I wanted a ranged tank. Come to find out, it's not a true 100% ranged tank. But, the playstyle was still a LOT of fun for me. So I stuck with it and I'm happy I did.

Aim is the stat you want to increase ALL of the damage done by a Bounty Hunter. Stat priority for all BH DPS specs would be: Accuracy to 105% > Aim > Endurance > Everything Else Crit, Tech Power and Surge are useful. But you don't need to focus on stacking them, especially at the cost of aim or accuracy. Building a set of Presence gear probably wouldn't be bad for soloing, either.

The OP seemed to understand it almost immediately... Lowering the chance you have to be hit (whether that's a buff on you or debuff on your attacker) is a direct increase to effective health via reducing the incoming damage. I've never ran into anyone who misunderstood that concept. When I used to post on Elitist Jerks and Tankspot, average damage reduction based on cooldown abilities was not at all misunderstood...in fact it was worked into the forumlae to help more accurately calculate total effective health. BTW, I'm not new to the MMO or tanking scene, as you seem to be implying. I've been extremely active in many tank theorycrafting communities for going on 8ish years now, and have been a tank nearly the entirety of my MMO experience.

The first time I get an invitation to a friend's virtual wedding with their companion...I'm done.

Ya...I was slightly shocked to see that as well. Marriage is in this game? lol

Thanks for the info. I'll probably stick with the Vanguard then. I just didn't want to put all that time into a character to get to level cap and then be told "oh you're not a tank, you're a DPSer, go respec."

If I have 1 mob attacking me, and I lower it's chance to hit me by 20%, I take 20% less damage on average (depending on RNG). It may not be exactly 20% in every case. But over a long enough period of time, it will average out to 20% damage reduction. You can insert any number of mobs into that statement, and the rest holds true, unless there's a cap on the number of mobs affected by Oil Slick.

I agree...WTH is this flamethrower for if I can't light the oil on fire? lol It would be awesome.

It seems like 20% damage reduction for 18 seconds is the good part about it. That's pretty dang powerful (if used properly).

Hello all, I've been playing both a Sith Juggernaut and a Trooper. To be quite honest, the Trooper feels a bit more fun to me (even though light sabers rule! ). But, I've always been a tank, and usually a main tank class. I'm curious if a Trooper is capable of main tanking (both flashpoints and operations), if spec'd properly. Or, does SWTOR use the old school system of only allowing one class to main tank?
