Now that I have many characters, each time I have to click and search times to find my characters (alts). I would love a screen with small bands, so I can choose from say 25 characters. This would save me (and I think many more) from a lot of clicking. It would also be nice, if I could make them stick at a certain position. Or drag and drop like shortcuts on the desktop.

I now logged in again, and it was fixed. Thank you

No, you only need to learn-to-play

Apparently, I need the new patch, but it's not there and it fails. I cannot play old patch, nor new patch "This application has encountered an unspecified error. Please patch again"

In played the entire story with my Commando (Light and Republican mind) and with my Jedi Shadow (Dark). If you attack Senya and Arcan then suddenly Arcan decides to help his father, which story wise is rubbish. And also I didn't feel so impressed to go to Voss. If you keep alive after he attacked you time and again (ehm who does that?) you can do healing missions. Weird. Chosing between two companions is also weird. Choices matter! Then again, if you did the story once, the second time it feels as a chore, waiting for the interesting bits.

As for a DUO spec-combo I highly recommend Jedi Shadow Kinetic Combat (Tank) for him and Scoundrel Ruffian (DPS) for her. My idea is: - you both can stealth; - he can tank; - she can heal; - shadow tank is considered bast tank; - scoundrel ruffian is pretty good dps; - she could switch to full healer in say Operations, Flashpoints, PvP whne you both group up; - ruffian can also do some minor heals; - both have lots of utility and tricks, so lots of fun; - both are easy to get into, but hard to master perfect. On the down side, Ruffian is highly DOT based... Of course, you can also go for Sith Assassin Darkness (tank) and Operative Lethality (for the empire) Also of course, he and she can swap, or you are brother/sister whatever. The above is just the basic idea of two specs working well together

No, you should switch to heals

Well Powertech/Vanguard in all 3 specs are in a ****** place. Gunnery Commando DPS is easy and still pretty good. Commando does ranged damage and can protect well, whereas Vanguard basically cannot.

Eric, you're a monster

Simply said "NOOOOOO!" It's a clear sign to my team mates in operations and flashpoints, I use reflection. So a 2nd tank (yes this happens) should not use his taunts. Of course, there are many more idiots then people who know this, but still. In PVP on the flip side, when I see a Sorc standing still and has a bubble around him/her I also know its pointless to attack, so this is the same thing. However, if you say you wanne get rid of all reflections from all classes, I'm at your side, it was a stupid idea.

Below is for me as DPS or Tank: When I do flashpoints, whenever I can, and my health goes lower then 90% I will use my healing ability, if I have one, or some damage reductions as possible. When health goes down below 60% I surely get mad at any healer, and surely I will run to a kolto if I see one. I have seen way to often, I group up with a Sage (its always Sages), who was marked as a Healer, but actually only does DPS. Yeah surely, once the fight is over he or she heals me up as an excuse. I do out-of-combat healing on all characters (some people don't know this at level level 60 ***?), so thank you very much for healing me after the fight. I always start a new fight at 100%, if someone else starts a fight, while I'm not ready, well good luck, I don't care (in 95% this is irrelevant). So, I always wanne be super solid/defensive, getting in the best way I can, so I don't spend 40k or 2 times heroic2 for nothing. I don't trust healers, I don't trust tanks, I don't trust mechanics. Often I'm at 90% at end of fight where all my team mates are down, its also why I sometimes throw a heal at my team mates. Guess why.

I see several people now entering unranked and ranked pvp. Since republic rarely wins, its pretty much useless to even try. So tthey enter the arena, hide in a corner, and do something else (watch youtube whatever). And its very understandable, I mean, the only way to get 248 gear is using ranked and unranked pvp. Now on occasion you might get lucky and get a free 248 with the crates, but you will never get a full set. So, the solution is to do pvp dayly. I would recommend everyone to do this. Of course, this would many unbalanced games, but who cares?

So, what's your point?

Also in 2012 PvP was very bad. Plus it took a long time to level. On the good thing, then you could work towards your gear. Now you HAVE to do PvP to beat the random ********. And I remember I entered PvP for the first time with best-in-slot for PvE, only to get wrecked by players with full PvP gear. And then those same with PvP gear enter an Operation, and i voted to have them kicked. Frustrations, frustrations...
