You are no crafter and never have been just by the way you wrote your post. If you are then I question your logic. For golds I expect the insane amount of matts not to change to be on par with making 258 gear. But gear I will never make more than I need to learn the next color up doesn't need such bloat. Take a good look at Cybertech and tell me you want to farm ten thousand mats just to make even half of them gold? Every single mod type and every single Enhancement type from green to gold. Go broke or see you next year. We never asked for crafting to change and we never expected to get BiS gear out of it, but since they determined that certain sets would come from crafting then they bloated the system. Can't have gear being crafted that you have to pay tech frag and 1 mil credits for being easy. Those that have golds were supplied by an entire guild, filthy rich, or have never done anything other than craft. I agree with everything that is requested to bring it back in line with how the lower tiers work. Somethings could be adjusted if brought back to the 2/2/2 but if it does not everything else needs to apply. As far as we know the gear that we will be allowed to make will be bound to legacy making it impossible to sell. Everything that drops should be Bound to Legacy on Equip (BLE) I can see the gear section of the gtn drying up for the lack of skins or lower gear.

The evil gear drop 6 wall you have encountered. Random vendor you must go to over come the wall. Use on lowest piece. or mod or armoring, or enhancement. Remember this for 286, and 296

If it is taking up to a hour you are bugged out. No matter when I play it is less than five minutes.

The NPC character models don't have all the rigging & necessary elements required that the player character faces need in order to be playable. This was explained when the Cathar were released & it's why their faces differed so much from the vanilla ones. --Darth Obvious-- I think this is not the reason just a cop out, but the real reason is the dev that created the NPCs was an artist which they fired or pushed out a long time ago. You can see this in the smoothness of the eye lids and the way the face is thinner and less chunky. This makes them rushed copies of the original skins for those NPCs to be used for a playable race. They could have brought this species in as a boosted character avoiding all the earlier cut scenes and then they could have avoided spending so much time making the species fit with the original story.

In eight years they could have done a lotto make this game even more than it is. Adding planets could have been the main focus of the story and a good way to keep people always coming back. 28 planets in the main parts 9 or 10 in flash points. Had they released a planet every 3 months we could have so many more planets to explore. 16 original planets plus another 24 that would make 40+ planet just think of 10+ more planets to explore or go to how different your trip to the top could be by the time Onslaught happens. Instead of Ilum you could have gone to Kashyyyk, Mandalore, the ruin of Malcore, Peragus station, Telos IV, Iridonia, Kessel in its prime as a mining colony before it was a spice world. So many planets could have been used and added without ever having an expansion. The universe of Swtor could be so much bigger. So that is my recomindation to have a planet added every so many months with about twenty or so quest to do.

Renown is working just fine so long as you ignore that you ae not getting any bonus from your Renown boosts. That you do not notice you are not getting the renown it is saying that you are going to get. I had earned 126k renown and got 40k My bar was half full and earning that much was over the 80k needed to get a crate and it only moved to 3/4 of a bar and no crate. The Renown system is broken as far as how many points you get but at least it is not as completely broken as PVP is. With the PVP crate I got a 292 296 298 on a toon that was at 306. Upgrade nope even close to what I was nope. Completely broken yup! Again and again RNG will disappoint you over and over again. I did say again right? Be glade it is only one way to get gear and not the primary way. Then again the primary way and fastest is supposed to be the new FP and new Operation. new FP barely gives you anything more that one boss in an older FP Have not done Dxun yet, but I have heard it is fairing no better. I will stick with the best way being Stealth Red Reaper until they nerf bat FPs. Speaking of RR I need to fill my Tech back up and my bank tab.

Zenith you will find still on Balmorra in jail for going after the wrong politician or in some cantina somewhere serving drinks being yelled at by some former Imp. Mumbling the whole time about Gray Star being a fake. But really Zenith is just Zenith. He moved on and you work with Imps. He is just like Junker Jott. Keep on walking I have no tolerance for Imp lovers.

But you will have to pay for your cookie. That will be 20 cartel coins

F2P was a money decision and not a reason to keep people playing. To keep people playing they would have fixed it. To keep people filling their coffers they went F2p and stopped fixing the game glitches as they fired those responsible. They made 1 billion dollars just doing that. Plus most don't know there are 5 heroics on Makeb. I would love if they fixed everything that is broke. I dropped a lot of content because it is broken. Planetary quest lines not finishable. Kotet being way too grindy and broken in places where the focus should only be on the story and not the fights being a super challenge. Not getting past Arcann as you have to be shielded the whole time really killed the fight on melee not so bad as ranged. Vaylin knocking you off Odessen fight. Things like getting stuck on a chair should not happen. They did fix one thing in the fight false emperor the two droids. The shielding droid actually stopped casting when the first droid died. Was a first for it to not continue casting for years. I doubt they will fix even the new broken things. First chapter of Kotet with droid. or other newly broken quest lines. They moved everyone on to other projects that needed to be half finished. What should be done is that they fire the yes men that release half finished products. or say that they can do this with this many people when they need twice as many or taking on way more than they should. This is what killed the auto industry and we let them. The right thing that should have happened is everyone with a lemon should have sued the dealer, salesman, and the manufacturer for a defective product. How would the industry have been had people the option to return their cars for full purchase price? It is the same for this game as long as they try to appease the greedy stock holders the more they will release games that are just okay enough to make money.

Also the shuttle is missing until you click on the terminal

Some FP or Ops are not scaled to do with level synced toons. The later FPs , Train, Chiss, Nathama are tuned for higher gear so do work well with the new stats being lower. A blanket sync never works for everything as you lack the power you need and the crit/power jump you got from adrenals, buffs, and relics were needed parts of those fights. Just because you can do 12k plus does not mean you will survive. I have full 306 healers with 3206Alacrity 2400 Crit and I just can't cover the burst the bosses put out. I just don't have the power to keep them up.

Veteran's Edge says one thing and does something different. One it sets the loot you should be getting. Two it does not set your Mastery, Endurance, Power, armor to the right numbers you should have as say 228 thru 258. It gives you the same numbers or nearly the same numbers and never even close to what you would have at 70 even in lower gear 228. They are not set for someone who is augmented they are set for someone who is running without augments and in non mod able gear. So nearly all of them are broken and give way less gear then a simple flash point. So this kills any need to do the Ops at all other then DXUN

I have done this fight with people who are experienced in the fight and it is just too much for a gimped healer to handle who has had no problem with Nim content. The FP is not tuned to level 70 level sync and is still tuned for 236/248 gear and best done with 252/258 gear stats. Even the cheese of leaving one of them alive does not work anymore. Killing Gemini is a big problem in the stasis chamber part if they all focus on one person which they do and they shouldn't. With the last boss I have yet to see go down even when doing everything right. He just puts out too much damage and like all the newer content is set too high and have too much health.

Do you have all the FP checked? The crates are a quest drop window so if you are not getting those then you are not going to get a crate. must have all 23/24 FP picked Meridian is not always checked.

While on my Guardian I have Senya out and she has the broken armor flashing above her portrait and it says no longer meets requirements. It is her armor how can it not meet requirements? Disappeared when I summoned another comp, but still it was annoying. Will probably show up again on next log in.

Oh it is not that I RP my toons as myself but we all do in a way. They just felt guilty or wrong in some ways that this would be a not effective way to do things for my character who runs a unified alliance. Where everyone gets along. As far as Lana redecorating the alliance to match our new stance I wish I had a chance to say no leave it as it is as the alliance is still the alliance even if we are allied or a full member. Onderon, Alderaan don't flag in Republic colors just because they are a member of the republic so it should be no different. The lack of comp interaction was disappointing but with one walk through I took Arcann with me and all he did was stare at Scourge as he left. But he did interact a tiny bit. The lost comp returns and the lost kisses are disappointing but after doing the romance and then moving on most of the toons I have have returned to their original husbands. though a few have gone Again I have to say that Kira and Scourge returning together and that they were key to the fight I had with the Emperor at the exact same time was critical and about the best way that they could have come back. I can think of no better comeback than one like this other than the fact they were as successful as I was but stranded on the planet or in the system with no chance of the empire ever coming back. Wookiepedia has the Emperor being defeated at an unknown time as SWTOR is still an active game and it deals directly in this time frame so yes this give them the right to keep this baddie around until the game shuts down if they want to.

The bonus series were level gated to certain levels as it was in different areas with higher level mobs in them. Nar Shaddaa had a level thirty gate and Alderan had a level forty area. With the dark seed areas being level fifty. They were always like this as the quest and rewards are geared for the level the area was originally set for and up. It is also like the flash points that you only get certain ones at certain levels as you level up as the system still thinks you are still too low to go in solo mode. Vet and master mode level sync you so you are at seventy. The flash points would be at their original level again if it was not so easy you could one shot bosses in operations even with level sync. since this happened they raised them back to seventy.

Stealth Toon Geared My assassin geared to 306 purple and gold amplifiers and full Death Knell set. She geared the following toons. My guardian My juggernaut My scoundrel My agent My shadow My trooper My merc All are at 75 and were 304 or better the minute they hit 75. I have an augmented 268 set to help with those not at 258 while leveling I have six sets waiting to put on the next toon that reaches level 75. Thirteen plus basic stat balanced 306 sets earned since launch. Give me another month or two and all my toons will be at 75 and have their basic set. Even the ones who stopped their story at the end of Ziost or Yavin so as to have killed the emperor once and for all on DK I play the way I want because I played for a few days the way they wanted. Sticky this thread just for the giggles if nothing else.

That X on your comp is all I needed to know why you are dying.

I do have one thing to say and that this was true on the first week that if during the prior week you did 15k and got your conquest quest reward and the guild got the to the new guild conquest point total that you would get the guild reward as well. Did you log in to that toon before 12pm or when ever local time that the conquest resets? I have lost rewards because I logged in during the down hour and gain a bit of points. If that was not the issue then are you sure the guild you were on got the score they set for. Does that clear this up? I mean I lost the reward on eight different toons because my guild didn't make the score and only got it on one which was in a different guild. So were you really looking forward to getting a reward you were already destined to lose?

was deconstructioning stuff to get mk10's and had them in toon inventory still got nothing. Tried to do the same for mk11 got nothing as well. /-(

I had to claim the items from my collection as I never got the mail even on my first logged in character. Was thinking of doing a bug report to get the titles as I couldn't find them on the toon I earned them with. Another hidden failure Bioware is trying to hide.

The bigger insult is that the rep you do gain is only half of what you are supposed to get. Started new week and the first five tokens received didn't even give me any points. Can they go back to my inventory? That way I can consume them when I need to?

Very good point and I have a full tab with 306 mods, armoring, and enhancements waiting to give to some one or to put into their new gear set. Some I may never see the best set for and some I can get it over the next week one by one. I have a tab with 306 no modable and they will be passed out as I get them complete. These will be daily gear sets or flashpoint sets. Got one toon spec Deception/ Infiltration complete. fully geared and is ready to slowly plug in the BiS pieces I find. I hope I will have four DPS sets going for eight of my toons. Save what you get 306 wise save any barrels and hilt up to the character number you have anything over that is a waste to keep. Try not to rip things out to save money. Will go a bit slower, but the savings can add up in practice. Trixxie Take a break from Red reaper do the onderon dailies then come back. Daily and weekly crates are good.

Expect to have to need on everything even if you do not need it. This is a lesson learned the hard way by us all. With the new system the way it is many will just auto need as I can use that some day. Run only with guild members who will follow loot rules and if they abuse it then the guild leader or an officer can settle it one way or another. Join another guild that will follow the rules and play fair. We were swapping gear today just so one person could get past the ilevel hump. I run red reaper I am looking to go fast and furious no time to check what I get and once I was at 306 I was not all oh set piece. I bought my set pieces and the tactical I needed for my toon and then I did the story and got a few tacticals from the story if you finished the story you have a tactical given to you. Still I HATE LOOT NINJAS TOO. I just don't care anymore.
