Good'ol Obi-Wan's "....from a certain point view" applies here between opinions, so I'll agree to disagree. I see the "spirit" of the event as fair, but the realities for Sub are far from fair in my mind. I'll continue my sub (no way at this point I'll stop it, too much money into the game to stop), but it will a while for me to get into this event. I'll be watching this forum and posts from the Devs. At some point, the anger alone from people like myself will force them to at least address the concerns. Will they fix anything? Not likely, but at least want a post or part of a Dev stream to respond to the worries.

I fully know my own real life choices aren't Bioware's worry, but its there to say that people like me (Adults with heavy-load jobs and/or school) will never been able to get to top tiers of this event without retroactive help. I hope they realize the S-Storm they started by asking the most loyal subs to hit a reset button to make the most of the event. Even the people with the time to kill are angry by this. BE BETTER BIOWARE. Make Rewards fair for anyone involved. This is nothing more then a heavy-handed attempt at getting a ton of Subs and give them free stuff as a reward. School (off Topic)

I have 16 characters currently. One of each class on each faction. All are done with all current content through Chapter 15 save for the E-Championship on most. All are Light V save for one, who is Dark III. I'e killed everything that could be killed via Ops, FPs, etc. I've done GSF and Warzone until my eyes bled. I even farmed HK-51 parts on 12 of the 16 toons... I done it all, now you are asking me to do it again on two more if I want everything?! That is months of new work, and 3 years of pass work for nothing. They are going to have to make some of the achvs retroactive or the Top tiers are only going to be broken by very few people that will troll the rest of us because we dont have 18+ hours a day for the next 6 months to devote to this stuff. I'm in college trying to become a teacher, taking 20 credits a term, I dont have to time for this. I hate to say this, but I'm going back to WoW and play through Legion, because this **** just hit my line of no return. I left wow at the end of 2013 for SWTOR, hoping never to have to return to WoW. I was happy for soooo long, but now you are basically forcing me back into the arm of the megacorp that honestly doesnt need or deserve my money. Shame on you, Bioware. Shame Shame Shame

Jugg or Guardian or VG/PT, you cant go wrong with either of them

Jedi Knight: Best: Kira, followed by Doc Worst: Scourge Trooper: Best: Elara (my favorite overall companion), followed by Jorgean Worst: None, though MX can get annoying Consular: Best: Nadia Worst: Theran. Biggest creep in the game.To like him, you have to either like stacking women or into the higher sciences Smuggler: Best: Bowdarr. One of the few companions in the game that is just a good person and comes with limited baggage. Worst: Risha or Gus, depending my mood. Gus can be funny as hell, but Risha can be seductive. Both can be royal idiots. Sith Warrior: Best: Tie between Vette and Dark Jasea. The old good vs. bad girl complex Worst: Quinn. Enough said Bounty Hunter: Best: Mako, followed by Blitz Worst: Skadge (Worst overall companion) Sith Inquisitor: Best: Khem and Ashara tie. Khem is just great, but I really like Ashara sense of wonder Worst: None Imperial Agent: Best: Temple, by far. The Imperial Elara Worst: Kailyo. Not into psychos.

I quite like that my Sentinel and Mara can have every part of Defensive Forms now, the the utilities DF was spread too I use anyway. I can see for PvP it screws you on utility points, but having all 3 Form benefits at once is really nice now. Only changes I would like to see (so I use this thread correctly) Gore/Precision Back to 4.5 sec window, if not longer Removed Devastating/Clashing Blast, buff Blade Storm/Force Scream to the Blasts' damage level, then use the slot to create a better Weapon damage saber attack, ie like Concentrated Slice/Furious Strike, but add another auto Ataru proc to it as well. Combat/Carnage needs one more staple ability to not have to spam Rush/Massacre when nothing is available and Every Sent/Mara would be happy if Storm/Scream came back

No one can reliably say what a Sage is like at 25. Forcequake was nerfed hard recently (25% less dmg, half duration channel, no more slow), so a ton of people think the class is now worthless based on that alone. Telekientics single target damage was nerfed a small amount, but I still play my Sage and Sorcerer and enjoy every moment of them. You can do competitive damage, but you arent a god anymore. That said, Commando/Merc destroy them single target by a lightyear, and Snipers/Slingers far surpass in them Single target, and just get over them on AoE (if you keep Wave/Chain out of the question at least)

Well player sir /clap

The only female I have is a my Sage. Iresso was nice, not overall gushy, which made it fast for a guy that couldn't care what was being said. Number One romance for me, from the Male character perceptive is hand down Kira. Without going into a huge list, here is my rankings Kira > Temple/ Elara > Vette/DS Jaesa > Ashara > Nadia/Risha > Mako/Akavi > Kailyo.

Gree starts tomorrow, so probably getting the server ready for that. Would be nice to see some notes if any, but anytime they do maintenance is good for the server, specially The Harbinger. Those hamsters need a break every few weeks.

This guy won in so many ways. Well done sir. /clap

Gunslinger right now is much easier to level. Period. The End If you like stealth, but hate AoE, then Scoundrel If like like AoE and dual pistols, but hate stealth, then Gunslinger #truth

Bounty Hunters do Smuggling too if the money is right. Smugglers are Mercenaries for the right price. A Mercenaries is a gun for hire, no matter what your background is. Agree a Republic class that could use a Sniper Rifle would be great, as would a Imperial class that uses an Assault Cannon would be great. However, these are just facts as resent event have told us, they do not like add heavy amount of new content. When they do, everyone hates it until they get uses to it (by choice or otherwise). Even adding new ACs is way above what the Dev crew wants to put resources on now. They are much more focused on adding new buggy content and "balancing" classes.

Do not let the complainers make a decision for you. I've had a Sentinel for the over a year, and just recently a Mara to 56 (as of yesterday). Concentration is a fantastic leveling spec, very powerful early on, with the best defenses you can have as a Sent. Combat and Watchmen aren't worth playing until at least 41 (more like 48 for Combat), when you get most of your rotation. My Mara has been in Fury (Concentration for Sent) for most of the leveling, stopping here and there after 41 to play with Combat and Watchmen in Flashpoints. The class story is very good if you don't have a Jedi Knight yet.

My experience with the class is good, but these forums however...

(shakes his head) There is the rest of the class threads, and then there is the Sentinel/Marauder threads. Why even bother when it either crying or trolling. (walks away, still shaking his head trying to erase this 3 minutes of time spent here tonight)

Exactly. All you will get is kicked out of the building if you get on any level of aggression with them. If you start demanding answers at these events, they will shut down and start to actually not care. Right now there is the look and feel that they dont care, but if you push them, that will go into real uncaring.

As long as I play my Sent or Mara in Concentration/Fury, I am able to somewhat enjoy playing them. Even leveled up a Mara for the last two weeks (he hit 55 last night). I never PvP, nor have I ever been a big fan of Annihilation or Watchman, so these issues do not hit me as bad. Wish Combat was a bit more complex, but for now I'm okay.

In readable English please... On second thought, maybe off your high then speak. Might help

This made my day

Smuugler >= Knight > Inquisitor As far as overall, Knight and Smuggler are tied in my mind. Knight was the first story I finished, and Smuggler was the last I did. They are both very good for different reasons. I did all but one of my characters full Light side (My Mara is Dark-leaning neutral, mainly for Dark Jaesa purposes). If your Smuggler is male, then it fantastic with the triangle romance. Best part of Smuggler story is regardless of Light or Dark, you get the most flirt options in conversations throughout the story of any class. That alone will make you laugh constantly. The story itself has some dry spots, but the flirts keep it alive. Knight is your strong Jedi type that is a humble bad-a that defeats but doesn't always kill his enemies. The whole story is fun, with Chapter 1 and 3 really good.

I have a lvl 60 Guardian, Jugg, and Sentinel, and as well a lvl 52 Mara currently. For me, my Guardian and Jugg have always been better then my Sent and Mara. Not solely based on better DPS, but because I know Vigilance/Vengeance on a much higher level then any of the 3 specs for Sent and Maras. If you go buy the numbers, Annihilation Maras are the top dog out of every Warrior spec within both ACs. Carnage Maras and Vengenace Juggs are about neck and neck after. Rage Juggs and Fury Maras can do some serious damage, somehow fall behind. Maras require a ton of practice to play well (Unless you play Fury, then its easy-mode for the most part). Juggs, to me, have the better overall class, with better defenses, slightly easier playstyle, and the ability to Tank when you are bored on constant DPS. Vengeance is a fantastic spec. Easy to play, yet fairly hard to master.

Cool, Shadows and Assassins have a saber throw now. Could care less about the why or how, I just like saber throwing. Who doesn't?

This or buy the Treek contract off the Cartel Market. I used Quinn on my Jugg and got over that quickly. My Mara is 38 atm (yay 2x weekend) and I'm been using Treek the whole time. Best CC ever spent
