I want to play my main - Lightning Sorc as well,it's sad that it gets tunneled like a fly on the first opening they get. I hope some changes make it in 5.5,since what I hoped for changes to make it to 5.4 they didn't,so hope continues.

I am also sad to see legacy wide UC didn't make it in 5.4. I thought that it won't be big of an issue like Command tokens to be Legacy wide ....

Would be nice indeed,I support this!

About the UC,in the Dev tracker,there was a post that Keith had a suprize for us regarding UC being legacy wide,I am lazy to look it up,but I remember that. About Sorc changes,I thought that the massive complains from the sorc community HINTED enough xD. Also somewhere they said that they will try to make it in 5.4 can't remember now where,but I remember that somewhere along the line this existed

Preparation to make UC legacy wide? I thought we were gonna receive legacy wide UC with 5.4 at least that's what the devs words hinted. Sadness x1 Still no Sorc changes,we were hinted a second time they could make it into 5.4. Sadness x2 The plead for negating the daily decrese of UC for regs was not taken into consideration. Sadness x3 Flashpoint story continuation - Happy x1 Tuning fix issue - Happy x2 That sums it up - Sadness 3 / Happy 2

Any news on making the Unassembled components legacy wide currency. You told us you were going to give us info about it wether yes or not will happen ? I am sad to see it's not listed.

This ^ It's how I felt seeing a Merc or an Agent being an interest to Valkorion and with his silly "Trauma Regulators" to heal from an attack from Arcann or "Plasma probe" damage a being such as the Immortal emperor or even his son and daughter which are strong af. Also what you get in the end if you pass KOTET? You get to shoot the spirit of Valkorion in the head and he is gone forever. It's funny indeed

Strange as it may seems while I supported going for a higher bolster, I frankly got intrigued by a few fellows in the game who craft 246 and sell them in the GTN to make a living in the game. I understand through their eyes that increasing the bolster to 250 will mean their crafting,time consuming activities and all the stuff they do to make some "dough" in the game will be rendered useless. I tried to put myself in their shoes. I wouldn't feel nice that my items which I craft and sell are now just a waste of time and I can't find anything to do to make a nice badge of credits now. I understand also the posts about pursuing top gear in an MMO enviroment,yeah to be honest if the bolster is made to 250 what will people aim for except the usual thing - go higher up the ladder in ranking? Some people enjoy gear seeking - like me,I enjoy aiming to get my toon buckled up and ready to fight,even if it's hard and the grind is infuriating. I understand most people what their desire is - to be on the same boat and have the feeling of equality in this game. Yeah the feeling would be nice,you will feel more enthusiasm to play pvp. Won't it be fun when we can finally kill one another and skill is the only thing which decides the fight? I 'm sure it will be,for some time,until everyone gets bored from it. I understand one thing - bolstering to 250 will cause problems for some and solutions to others. It isn't fun to see people who are furious with an update. Yeah some were pleased and that could be a larger group,but aren't we all the same afterall? People trying to have fun? We should put aside all our differences and go naked in PVP and only then will the fun begin.

Alacrity is very needed for Lightning Sorc,it decreases channeling times and cooldowns,so you have the skills frequently open for you to use. Without alacrity you will feel a difference for sure. I used to go without alacrity,but then I got the advice that alacrity is needed in almost every class,so I decided to bring alacrity arround 1000 and more. I noticed the difference in PVP a lot. So my recommendation is to keep it as high as possible arround 1400-1500. Mine is there and works fine for me.Crit as the peeps above mention arround 1800. Look for above 40% crit. Accuracy I don't buff it all for PVP,for PVE only slight above 105% and works fine.

Well exactly my post mate,as I mentioned I don't blame you as a thread starter,I am mentioning the comments after you. As I pointed out toxicity and hate is the major problem why people don't want to que solo ranked and go for regs. Nobody can stand obnoxious and childish behaviour. I for one don't even go for ranked,because of the hate in it. I mentioned the fact that even the pro players were newbies at some point and they forget it and start insulting the rest.

First of all this thread is indeed offensive. Not by the thread starter himself but in the other comments it's clear. Second - it's pure disgrace to call over 20 000 garbage players. How do you determine who is trash and who is not? So the pro players who are with nice ratings have always been pro? They started low as well,they wouldn't have liked to be called trash as well? Some people have only time to play a few hours because they work and have a life,and they pay for a game to have fun and in the end they get called garbage? Third and most importantly - the toxicity of the community is at such an abnormal rate that people don't have the nerves to stand the obnoxious insults of people who are way over their heads at some time. That's why the majority plays regs because at least there,you don't get insulted every match,yeah the hate there is also a thing,but not too often. Come on,people learn,not everyone is full 248 and trying to have fun in the game. Four and last - stop with this hate - accept that there are people not so skilled as you are,don't have the gear you do,don't have the time to play as you do.They are doing something because this is a GAME and people are meant to have FUN,not to deal with childish behaviour.

Well at least it didn't receive nerfs as people expected so it's a .... good thing?

I personally don't have any issues with the population on TRE. During prime time there are arround 160-190 players on the fleet and tbh that seems fair considering most player's complains. Yeah well because of my deep love of the franchise I stay in this game despite the gearing system which takes forever to gear up 1 toon,not to mention 2-3-4 alts. There are some good things and bad things. It's every MMO's way to be good and bad at the same time. I personally enjoyed KOTFE and KOTET as a story line,but now that it's over it's time to see the game change for the better. I sincerely have hope for it,call me a scker for believing but what is there left to do when you love the game? We are left to try and point out the issues as often as possible and give them our thoughts until something happens,this seems better to me than just sitting and flaming the devs and the company. In my gaming experience throughout the years I have found that there is one fact for every game - One group will be pleased and the others won't,whatever there is to be done. Yeah I am all up for some changes,pointing out the main things - Storyline,class balance,gearing system

Yeah 1vs1 against merc and sniper is hard but doable in certain situations. I managed to kill 1vs1 sniper and merc. I narrowed it down to right skill usage and timing. Or the other reason - crappy sniper and low geared. On the other hand tank is quite the thing. Immortal discipline with DPS gear if playerd right you can be real chaos on the battlefield. As for DPS Stats - Mostly rely on Critical and Alacrity augments with gear when you reach level 70. Look to make Alacrity around 1000 or more and Critical arround 1700 or more,depends on your set of course. Lethal mods,adept enhancemnts and armoring for your weapon and focus.

Idea of Command crates dropping legendary gear from previous tier is very good,I support it and I don't need to say why,people already said why .

Since we have come to a time that old OS are stop being supported from their companies,it's normal that people are forced to upgrade to a newer version of that OS. It's logical to move forward. Budget sometimes is a issue yeah,but I won't even mention that windows 7 can be put on a pc fairly easy and not expensive at all. It will run much faster than xp and will support the game. We can't blame the companies for wanting to upgrade,since it's the logical path of how a system must work. In order to be productive it must upgrade. And sometimes there is a NEED to upgrade,since the older version is causing issues.

I have a Vengeance Jugg and it's pretty solid. It doesn't have the best defences,if focused you will die,but if you are 1vs1 and know your class well,you can beat your opponent. It's rotation is easy and does a nice ammount of damage,also with more alacrity you will do your skills faster and can manage the rotation in a nice ammount of time. The main idea of Veng jugg is to initiate chaos in a PVP warzone,you can switch targest if you like and with the right skills you can initiate more damage to more people with Vengeful slam and using the utility to make Chilling scream's damage higher. Remember that if you want to do damage over time in your rotation you must pick the Chilling scream utility when you reach a high enough level. Bear in mind what many people tested: With 1000 or more alacrity you perform much better in pvp than less. Vengeance is a DOT spec and it's skills need more alacrity so you can strike faster. With less or none alacrity at all you'll not perform well. Keep critical in the 40% range at all costs. Rely on Mods from the Fleet for your gear till you get to level 70. It is enough to keep you alive and doing well in battle with mobs. Hope this helps you mate!

This was such a fun intro I enjoyed rereading it 2-3 times. You are cool

No I don't want to be discrimantive at all,don't get me wrong I am just following the concept of Star Wars and I sometimes choose romances that are often logical to the characters they play. Like for instance the Warrior story - Jaesa is a more likely romance choice,while other people choose Vette. I chose Jaesa as it somehow appealed to me that it's logical a master to fall in love with his apprentice.

So Novo who is a man has a husband? And you people want to romance him? Why tho? I don't understand the same gender romance appeal.

I had a system I enabled on most of my toons. Since gear grind is very hard and you need a lot of time,specially to get past through the harder content. I decided that it's best to buy gear from the GTN to get started and then through Command crates and Components to gather the gear from the vendors. 246 Gear is on sale in the GTN and you can get it for arround 15 000 000 credits + another 5 000 000 for implants,earpiece. This is a lot of money,but it kinda pays out for me,this type of gear with the increase of skill when I play more content got me through earning stuff for 242 set bonus gear. Since 246 doesn't have set bonus. You can also get 240 gear for arround 10 000 000 including implants,earpieces and relics. + 240 mods for your weapons. This I would say is the fastest way to get a decent gear,not the best but still decent enough to enjoy endgame till you equip with 242 or 248. But for this fastest way you need credits

Dear Eric, I think that the decrease in UC rewards in dailies for unranked is going to cause only problems rather than solutions! Why did we get a decrease when the petitions were for increase and most promises were for increase. Yes we got 14 increase in weekly rewards but that's the minus 2 from dailies which we get anyway when completing them,so it's actually a stalemate. Yes rewards for ranked sound good but most people enjoy unranked warzones for fun and because they have not geared properly for ranked. Please consider that this change is not okay and if not increasing dailies,return back the old rewards,it's better with them than with this.

Why? Give explanation to your post. Bioware won't even consider this thread with such opener. In their place I wouldnt either.

I would like to donate 1 000 000 credits for the prize pool. I need to send a mail to your character which you posted in the 1st post?

I am all up for bolster 250 so the gear difference in warzones is depleted and gearing to be meaningfull only for operations on hm and nim modes. But the other face of it,people will say that now grinding for gear all this time for nothing is a stab in the back. We can't please everyone can we?
