Its the reflection. The armored parts reflect light, therefore they appear brighter than they are. Preview assumes there is no lightsource as it seems.

Did you play through Iokath/the Traitor arc also?

I don't have any problem with stealth whatsoever. I can walk through the face of mobs and they don't notice me, companion or not. Are you by chance playing KotFE or KotET? There are a lot of fights that are forced on you, stealth won't change anything about that.

There are some CCs in PvE that are not meant to be broken, neither with the stun-break ability nor with the force-barrier.

Put your companion on damage. Sorc has the tools to keep you and him alive pretty good while you blaze through content. Bosses can't damage you when they die in a matter of seconds

You presumably use Mind Over Matter utility (as the poster before me already pointed out), which puts a slow on the enemies whenever you activate force speed - and this aggros them. Also, whenever you vanish, put your companion on passive. If an attack is still in animation during the vanish, and the hit detects AFTER the effect takes place, you are back in the fight.

Sith Recluse was the only thing I wanted, other than decorations. So I'm still sitting on a bunch of CC because I have literally nothing to spend them on.

100% agreed.

Exactly. You must be a sub on April 3rd to qualify for the reward on April 5th.

You can buy gifts for the cartel market companions with them (the animal companions and the droids). Those gifts usually sell for a pretty good price on the GTN too.

The instant level tokens and the master-cron have been available in the market for the last 3 weeks, the master-cron being on 30% sale the whole time. Why wouldn't they be included now? Incase you meant everything gets a reduced price, I dont think this is what happens. What will actually happen imo is that they simply put everything up for sale for its original price, with maybe a few cheap-deals every few days.

I do believe that, her hair looks incredibly dull when you take off her customization. That's the reason I ditched the set I had planned for her and kept her original one.

You never heard about Robin Hood, I guess.
