While this doesn't help in all cases, you will find some of the premium quality chest and leg pieces that are granted as mission rewards for class story are identical in appearance to some of the pieces from the heroics. While I don't have the names memorized, I can tell you there's a decent chance you'll get the visual equivalent of the leg piece you're missing during the course of your class story.

Thank you for this.

Oh, I don't know that I'd ever get around to taking screenshots and posting them, but you've definitely inspired me to try some new things whenever I get back to decorating! Thank you for suggesting the voss rocks for another rock garden option, as I think I may go with the more arid approach on Manaan (I think it'll be a nice contrast to all the greenery I already have in abundance there).

These look great!! It's not just the arrangements/placements of the decorations, but you've done a wonderful job with color schemes as well (sorry, "colour" schemes). The rock garden really does stand out and now I want to try something like that, possibly on Rishi or Manaan, since I don't have either of those to 100% yet.

Yeah, I learned WAG and SWAG from an instructor back in the day, so I had a similar reaction.

Agree with this 100%. More often than not it causes me to play less than I had in the past and just not bother with conquest at all.

Thanks for this! Any idea if the price of the Recon Trooper unlock will be corrected by then? It's a gold rarity item, but the full price unlock is 600 CC and most gold rarity items are 400 CC. I submitted a ticket about it months ago, but no change so far. Edit: Just looked tonight and this was corrected sometime in the last two weeks, so thank you to whomever did that.

We're going to have to agree to disagree here. Also, I never addressed Eric not responding, my entire point was predicated on the idea that it was easier to miss quality posts when they are buried by tons of other posts and as a result they may not be seen at all. Whether or not they receive a reply is an entirely different matter.

You are the expert on the subject so I defer to you.

Their posts on their private forum have greater visibility than those of regular players. It's a matter of scale... limited number of influencers = limited number of posts = greater chance of all their posts being read. On the regular forums we see some truly great posts buried amidst pages upon pages of posts (that often have strayed beyond the original intent of the thread). Do you truly believe the likelihood of such posts being noticed and read by BW is equal to the chances of the influencers' posts being read? So while they may not have any more sway than regular players do, they definitely have greater visibility when it comes to getting their ideas/suggestions/thoughts communicated.

You can sell bound items to vendors as long as the items are not Cartel Market items. Cartel Market items can never be sold to vendors. If Cartel Market items are bound to you (and there is no timer showing they'll be unbound) then the only thing you can do to get rid of them is destroy them. Be sure you check for the bind timer before destroying something (it's in red and appears near the bottom of the tool tip when you hover the cursor over the item).

This is wrong. Characters receive tokens if they go up in command rank any time their side is winning, not just in a victory state.

Depending on Senya's influence, raising it could help. Also, you may want to disable her stun ability for this fight as it's a waste of an action for her to use it. Are your sure your difficulty setting is story mode? Edit: Just saw your other post mentioned you think she's at level 8 influence. While that should be enough, since you are having trouble with this fight you could try raising it to 10 and see if that makes a difference.

This thread explains it: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=954514&highlight=stronghold+bonus The maximum bonus is 150%. I assume you mean conquest points, and yes, the conquest points displayed include the bonus.

Agreed. I have received social points for doing some heroics while grouped. It was very minimal (something like 2 points for completion of the heroic) but there was no dialogue wheel and groupfinder was not involved in any way as I simply grouped up with one or more guildmates for the heroics. I don't recall if they were part of bonus mission completion or at the end of the heroic, I just remember getting them while doing the heroics.

Yes, all crafted reusables were removed from the game a while back. They were replaced with artifact quality consumables with a different name than the reusable, so if your character had any rakata absorb adrenals in their inventory or cargo bay (or legacy cargo hold) they should have been converted into an artifact quality level-appropriate consumable absorb adrenal (though I do not recall how the names were changed). However, since that time, biochem crafted reusables were reintroduced for endgame with the addition of the Crisis on Umbara Flashpoint, so it is now possible to obtain schematics for those from a vendor on Odessen.

I had forgotten about that... I've been continuously subscribed since I started playing and I got one, but I did not confer with guildmates about it so I'm not sure who else got it among the players I know.

Thank you for clarifying. I don't know you at all, but based on other things you've posted it did not seem to be something you'd want to come across that way, so I appreciate the response and explanation.

While I agree that it would be nice to know, I suspect that is going to remain one of the many "unknowables." However, the point you make stands... either they listen to them and implement the feedback which means the state of the game is the direct result of said feedback (for good or ill) or they ignore them, in which case it would seem no feedback matters whatsoever (aside from the mass drop in subscriptions following 5.0 that resulted in EA sending out that survey email).

I appreciate that more than you know, casi, as I've always seen you to be a voice of reason, even when I haven't been in complete agreement (but more often than not I tend to agree with what you've said as I recall).

That's exactly why I was bringing it to her attention. I don't think she wanted to come across that way, but it sure does seem a bit elitist to me. I've seen plenty of "basic forum posts" that were "highly organized and extremely well made."

I'm highlighting this portion of your highly organized post because I'm not sure it comes across quite the way you want it to.

I agree with most of the points you're making here. I've never communicated with any influencer, so they have no way of speaking for me. I have posted here on the forums when asked for feedback (and at times even when not). To learn the influencers have their own private forum where they are actively engaged by the devs and then to contrast that with the level of engagement here on the official forums makes me feel as though my opinions on these forums seem to be valued less than the opinions of the influencers.

Apologies, I was certain I'd been able to do this in the past, but I tried it again just now to confirm and I'm unable to select the text.

You can already select and copy anything that shows up in the chat window (and then paste to anywhere you'd like).
