So I have purchased one of the pvp mods, Advanced Lethal Mod 40A-X. It adds 145 Mastery, 103 Endurance, 41 Expertise and 61 Power. I also have the mod that originally came with the piece of exemplar gear, the Advanced Lethal Mod 40X. It adds 121 Mastery, 93 Endurance, 41 Expertise and 103 Power.
It was my understanding that Mastery would add a significant amount of more damage than power. I expected my primary damage to go up, but my bonus damage to go down. However, both stats went down when applying the 40A-X mod. Shouldn't the primary damage go up, seeing as I would have more mastery, and the bonus damage go slightly down, seeing as I would have less power? I find this all very confusing. Could someone clarify why, when I add 24 Mastery, my primary damage stat goes down?

Hey all, I have a lvl 60 Bounty Hunter. I have gone through the story lines of Mako, Gault and Torian. I have engaged with all conversations with Skadge and Blizz, but they don't show up in the legacy "Imperial Classes" area as completed, and I'm not sure what it is that I need to do to get them there. I'm going to try to get their affection levels up to 10 each, and see if that changes anything. I've done the class quest line all the way thru Shadow of Revan I believe. I checked my mission log and no companion quests are available. Any help is appreciated.

Was very much wondering that myself. A different thread mentioned something about mastery should total to 250ish, I know I didn't collect ALL the aim, cunning, willpower and strength (mastery now) datacrons, but I only neglected to collect 1 or 2 at best. I feel I'm being slighted some mastery points, but without a comprehensive list or a conclusive number to compare to, I'm completely lost.

Any idea when 3.3 patch goes live for all servers?
-
Is this being implemented tomorrow?
-
A few questions I'm sure that may have been answered already.
1) Are ranked comms being dissolved into uselessness, being taken from the game all together or what?
2) If they *are* being taken out of the game all together, will we get a refund into say, unranked comms when the patch goes live? Or is it our responsibility to trade them beforehand?
3) If they are being kept in the game, what uses will we find for them, other than trading 1-to-1 for unranked? Any use at all?

I'm wondering if the devs are aware that people are still experiencing the UI bug where the HP bar will bug out and not change, pressing ctrl+u to reset the UI doesn't fix this issue for many.
This has been bugged for a very long time.

It's pretty disgusting, there's a WHOLE entire forum section on a website dedicated to "***********" that discusses the "best hacks" etc. Google it. It sickens me. Elite? Really?
Anyone who goes on and tells them to stop hacking, to get better at the game instead, gets banned. This is the troll mentality of the internet. The only thing that will stop it is the due diligence of the players, assuming that players actions will amount to anything. I'm certain nothing systematic will come from Bioware / EA. I'm concerned that there (still) seems to be quite a bit of hacking going on. Also, the last time I offered to submit a video via the in-game ticket system, I was told that Bioware cannot accept video captures as evidence, IIRC.
The most rotten thing about all of this, is that there are hacks out there that will allow you to buff abilities / stats JUST enough to give you an advantage over the other players. Subtle, not entirely detectible, but effective enough. It's sickening that anyone would use a crutch like that. But, as I said, the internet just eats this stuff up. The last hacker I saw in a warzone had "chan" in their name. That speaks volumes.
Not long after the servers were open, a few PvP "bots" (players that would afk and just move around enough that they wouldn't get booted) used to play in tons of warzones. I know for a fact I reported one such "player" on numerous occasions. I'm entirely certain a lot of other players followed through with their claims that they were doing the same. This went on for weeks, WEEKS before the player never logged on again. EA / Bioware seems to only want your money. After that, they don't care as long as their game is addicting to the masses. A lot of PvP-oriented games have proven there is no money solely in PvP.
You're an "elite" and people have accused you of hacking even though you don't? Good for you, but don't deny there are hacks out there. A google or youtube search should end that side of the story very quickly. Go ahead, we'll wait. If you're still in denial after doing a search, then the only question I have to ask is: What hacks do you use?
It starred out elite pvpers in quotations. ???? Bioware, ***?

I hate when people hack. It just ruins the fun for everyone else.

I know this was once possible, to reverse engineer crafted PvP gear and then add augments to the resulting schematics. Is this still possible? Doesn't seem so, but I wanted to double-check.

Alright, so you don't want to waste time with housing... then don't. So many of these posts are "I don't understand why there is housing?". Well because for years now people have wanted it. Now their getting it. Just because the minority on these forums doesn't see the point doesn't mean others don't. Not saying that you shouldn't enjoy the aspects of the game you do enjoy I'm also not saying to shouldn't not agree with things they add. But all the topics created since they announced make it seem like them adding housing is game breaking for you.
They're trying to excite the large amount of people who unsubbed a while back into subbing again, seems as though it has worked for now (how successfully, not sure). My guild was big into SWG, and player housing was part of why they loved the game. A bunch of them (a dozen tops) resubbed just to see what the housing / guild ships are going to be like. It'll be another month that Bioware can rake in heaps of cash before people become uninterested again. I'm hoping players will see the folly of the perpetual carrot on a string and move on.

To funnel money into the cartel market
QFE
After my recent Customer Service fiasco, I'm thoroughly convinced that Bioware cares about your enjoyment of the game as much as Comcast cares about whether or not you're going to stay with them being your ISP (not at all). Not surprising, once EA gets their claws in you, gg.
-
I wrote the code in my pseudo code for them in my last post. That would bust it for them.
The might want to threw in a check to make sure there was no push or pull during the check
Well, I wish it were as simple as that. Unfortunately, Bioware will only recognize the problem, not really do anything about it.
Also, again, I'm no programmer. But I think my theory might work better. Instead of the server constantly scanning or finding the player positions, if they could scan just to see if the .exe running in RAM is as it should be, that might be a lot easier.
-
This is a prefect example of something that would not work.
If the server simple checks you potion over time it would bust you so fast your head would spin. I could right the code to catch that hack.
Please do, Bioware hasn't done it yet. They are too busy adding more useless content. Also, that's not how their server works really. There's no mechanism / scanner to say "Is this player hacking? No. Continue. Is this player hacking? No. Continue." I'm not a programmer, but I'd imagine what would be easier to do would be a code scanner. Something that is run either within the program or perhaps server-side to say "has code been altered?" Not really sure if the implications for that would work. Also, a workaround for the hackers would be to reverse-engineer the .exe file. However, reverse-engineering could have criminal liability, not just account banning.

Thank you for changing the daily PVP.
Yet the problem behind this remains the same.
NO COMMENT from Bioware is even more worrying... and the problem worsen:
1) Better geared = more medals (THEY DO NOT SCALE................. why????)
2) The loser gets gear slower
3) The winner gets gear faster.... and the more he gets gear the MORE he gets medals (meaning more gear, etc...)
VICIOUS circle pattern. Recognized???
Losing all the time REGARDLESS if we get medals / commendation = NOT FUN.
I am and several others are losing interest. No comment from "official sources" DOES NOT HELP either.
This is definitely an issue. Cross-server pvp needs to happen in 1.3 or bye-bye more subs. I'd prefer if they had more of a ranked system in pvp with or without rateds actually doing anything of the sort.

(Client side, server side who cares, legit or not legit and still working or patched? It's all myth after all)
Enjoy your "proof" that strange things happen for a reason and will continue to do so in the dark side of the :
BW fix your game/clientlauncher please for the love of your future!
Gee, look, your 2nd link isn't technically a speed hack. Aw, shucks.
-
yes, but MMOs tend to be protected from most of them because the many content runs on a isolated server. The more popular games tend to get hack first and the hardest. If it was easy to hack MMOs WoW would be in tiny pieces by now.
Unless they break into the server and then all hell breaks lose.
Nothing happens server side. You download a hack which injects code into the game, thereby preventing anything from happening unless you get caught. I'm guessing they keep a log of what's going on, but if they are, they aren't doing anything to correct the issue.
They've sent out warnings and the occassional 3-day suspension to hackers. But no indication whatsoever about whether or not they will have a real solution (i.e. code detection). Now of course I have no direct knowledge of this, but I'm guessing they haven't permabanned anyone. The unfortunate thing of it is, they've let tons of stuff go on for so long (and not just hacking, but glitches, poorly managed content, dying servers with no way out but to reroll) that now they've lost 400k subscriptions, so banning people doesn't seem like the best thing to do (altho it is).
-
This.
Yea, he popped Undying Rage, then he tanked the NPCs who were 20 lvls above him, then took a mysterious warzone pop. Except at lvl 30, Undying Rage isn't available. D'oh! Guess we'll have to chalk this one up to lag!

There are websites dedicated to hacks,exploits, and scamming for almost every game out there and swtor is no different.
Where is your proof? Who have you been talking to? Should we call the feds? You don't have proof, do you? Just because it exists, doesn't mean it happens here. This kind of McCarthyism is disgraceful!
/end sarcasm
-
The speed hack is detectable, as it has been captured on footage since at least what, 3~4 months ago?
Try actually attaching a proof to an accusation, terribad, and I guarantee, you'll get better results in getting hackers banned. Why do people not get banned? Because you present no proof.
Simple. Collect proof, report, and wait.
You collect no proof, just report, and therefore, make investigation very difficult for the developers. A description rarely cuts it, and basically just giving a story version of what you think happened usually puts the development team on a wild goose chase - which seriously deterrs other jobs and cuts into manpower. It is because of such problems, the development team tend to be very cautious and will not choose to act until absolutely sure and absolutely necessary.
You needlessly retort, and treat with cynicism this game, and go so far as to display poor attitude that mocks the game as being full off hacks, and of course, with no direct proof, only an anecdote of what you think happened.
Do you think they will instantly and gladly start using up time and manpower, when they see an idiotic crap of a thread like this?
No, not with 400k subscriptions already biting the dust.
I for one, actually like the game and enjoy it. However, if someone takes the upper hand (whether they win or lose) is just poor business practice in this kind of situation.
But when they don't do a single thing to remedy the issue, then they encourage it. Which is why, o gee, it's so much more widespread than you (and many others apparently) care to admit.
Now, I'm sure you'll pull the whole senatorial judiciary committee move on me and say "well that's not direct proof" but I've heard many guildmates describe how they sent in documented proof on hackers, only to have the same thing happen to them the next 3 weeks by the same hacker. Finally the hacker doesn't show up for 3 days. However, like clockwork they are back and ready to scrub it up.
As a final question, I'll pose to you this: what does banning subs (still hasn't happened, no matter how valid your "innocent until camera footage caught them in grammas basement" argument is) have to do with coming up with a viable solution? What's preventing new people (not a lot of that happening) from picking up the game and just googling a hack?

If those videos were truly possible. It's would be every where and abused like crazy especially when people decide they want to quite the game for ever.
FPS games have aim bot and you DO see it being abused hard core all the time. So either i think they are not legit or it was fixed
Unfortunately, they are legit. They are more widely used than people want to believe or admit. So why don't people use them all over? LIke 70% (or some other random number) of the player population? Well, I for one, think it's humerous that they are used in the first place. If you have to play that way to beat someone / get ahead in the game, maybe MMOs just aren't your thing. Perhaps Hello Kitty Online, but I digress.
Anyway, secondly, people may just not want to take the risk of having their accounts banned (not happening past the 3 day suspension that I know of) enough to use a hack.

They are in combat sprints, I have one it's called trasendance, it makes the my whole party run faster
Your point? Do yourself a favor, watch the youtube video. Your argument just comes off as... ignorant at best.
-
I have played hundreds of game I have not seen a hack yet.
I have seen many many people who don't know what other classes can do SCREAM hack when they are just using their normal abilities though
Cool story bro. Consider yourself lucky. Also, read the entire thread, it might give you insight into the discussion. Or you might want to save yourself the time and google "SWTOR Guld Summit devs acknowledge hacking"
-
It's called THE BURDEN OF PROOF.
Any accusation or claim without proof to back it up, is simply zero credibility.
Yea, unfortunately this isn't the United States judicial system.
I've provided the information on who, what, when, and where to Bioware, and they've done nothing about it, except to say "O yea, that problem exists"...
Go ahead and play lawyer buddy.
