so what loot Group are we in this week.. A, B, C, or D?... maybe a chart showing what the dates are for each Loot Group.. instead of requiring us to do date-math... for example.. what is the current Loot Group A, B, C, or D?

. thanks!.. what i am confused about is i thought dark = imperial and republic = light.... so it's strange to me to hear light and dark can be friends but imp and rep can't... in this particular case.. i have a sith inquisitor and my friend has a jedi guardian... can one have a light side sith inquisitor or a dark side jedi guardian? . PS - yeah i meant sith assassin (not consular)... note that i am talking about characters who have just finished their stories and not reached the end game....

it sounds to me like SWTOR is not your type of game.. and you should probably find another one....

two friends of mine and i have formed a weekly group.. both of them are Sith Inquisitors and i am a Sith Consular... but whenever we try to go into a Story instance... sometimes we all 3 get different instances.. sometimes the other two are in the same instance and i am alone.. note that at least one of the other two have set the 'can be same class' flag.. is this normal? some general questions: (1) can light and dark side characters be friends? (2) can light and dark side characters group (for planet story, flashpoints, side-missions)? (3) can someone who is offline be made a friend (this doesn't seem to work for me unless they are on-line)? (4) to group for a flashpoint.. do we all take it while in group.. or one takes it and shares? (5) is there a way to make all my characters friends with someone? the problem with (5) is if two friends want to be 'global' friends.. and they each have 6 characters... then it requires 72 (36 for each player) friendings in order to make it global if it has to be done character-to-character... so is there some 'add legacy to friend list' sort of thing? PS imagine two players each with 100 characters. it would take 20,000 friendings to make them global friends.. ouch!

yeah.. *I* knew that.. but my spellchecker had other ideas.. it doesn't seem to like the word Revan... lol

. i don't know for sure we have the same PO's every day (apart from re-rolling).. but i think the point is they should create many, many of them and give them out to us randomly per player each day to spread us out more... so we are not competing with one another as much... . and not everybody is comfortable grouping.. but if they are.. that is a good solution...

thanks.. i did not notice those bubbles.. i got him down to 30% by brute force.. i would hide behind pillars until time freed the captured guys... hehe

i did not.. that's why i asked...

not being able to craft always made sense... i just asked since there are other issues and just wanted to be sure that wasn't another one.. . the issue that prompted me to post was the description for his damage abilities saying they do ZERO damage... even in Damage mode... hehe.. and i wanted to know if this was true or just a typo... . i submitted a ticket... the response was he could not tell me if Mawvorr does damage or not with the spells that say zero damage (huh?)... but he did give me a good idea... so i went to a practice dummy and sent Mawvorr to hit in while he is in Damage mode.. and he does damage... and it looks like ok damage too.. . so it is a typo... . note in Tank mode this is also true for some of the damage abilities...

i think it would be good.. as has been suggested... if they didn't give us all the same daily PO's to do each day... when EVERYBODY has to kill 75 insects on a specific planet where they are kind of hard to find... there will be times when you end up with (say) 10 people looking for 750 insects at the same time in a small part of the planet.. and there aren't that many insects at one time... so the competition for them make us HATE each other! another possible way to do this is have like 6 possible PO's.. but restrict us to picking 2 day... that will spread out the players... the once-a-day re-roll feature helps.. so how about 2 of them? .. even allow us to SAVE up re-rolls we don't use.. this gives the player more control (without damaging the reward system).. and again would result in not everybody going after the same goal in a possibly very frustrating way...

so i have gotten to the part where i am suppose to defeat Raven (solo).. i've tried this a bunch of times.. the best i did was get him to like 30% health.. then he keeps 1-hitting me... even with all those other NPC's fighting with me.. since Raven just force choke-holds ALL of them so they can't help... and i have no tools to free them i m aware of (gunslinger)... is there a trick to this i should know? .. if i bring a friend will it be a lot easier for example?.. which i can do.. was just trying to see if i can do it solo...

thanks!.. so if i read you correctly.. the zero damages are TYPOS.. and damage IS being done... it does make sense about the inability to craft.. but like you said.. its weird to have to pay more for less (since the 'free' ones earned in the game almost all do crafting).. . i assume i can use Mawvorr for all 3 disciplines.. even though when you get him the vendor seems to strongly suggest Mawvorr is only good at damage... . at least the descriptions for him as a healer are correct.. and have not looked at tank yet.. hehe thanks again!

what i need is some page on the internet which has a really good and detailed description of Mawvorr the companion... . (*) is Mawvorr good at all specs (heal, damage, tank).. or best at one of these?.. Mawvorr's description sounds like it might be saying only good for combat... (*) GOOD descriptions of each skill can have for each spec... . it's like nobody knows anything about this companion!!!! hehe

cool.. thanks!.. i didn't even know there were add-ons... hehe

if you don't like it.. don't do it... it does not give one any unfair advantage over those who don't do it... others do like it.. so it would be wrong to remove it from the game just becuase others don't...

is there a way to see the details of a battle after it is over with and/or in real-time (e.g. what skill was used by who, how much damage was done each moment... healing.. etc.)... typically used to help better play in the future... if so.. how does one enable it? . in most games this is in the form of a chat window.. or as an option to add real-time battle text to existing chat windows...

so i bought Mawvorr the companion... i have him at level 20 (using food) and am using him with a level 18 Sith consular... and i have some questions: . (*) Mawvorr does not seem to be able to do crafting.. is this correct? (*) when set to Damage... the descriptions for Body Slam, Go for the Throat, and Power Bite all say they do ZERO damage... please explain this? (*) i see he can be advanced using food bought from Jawas... how else can he get influence (f any)? its the one where his abilities say he does ZERO damage that worries me.. the ONE skill he has that does say it does damage is Cutting Swipe (502 internal damage i think)...

so everybody who plays team star fighting loses?... this sounds like that saying... "it's so crowded nobody goes there anymore..."

sure are a lot of addicted impatient people here... this game is pretty good when it comes to down time... . trust me.. they want the servers up 100000% times more than you do... if they brought it up now and it was broken.. would you prefer that?.. no...

thanks!

hi!... i'm sure this is a noob-ish question.. hehe... but... how does one 'reroll' a Daily PO?

yup.. just confirmed that too.. if you do all 3 on one planet it satisfies the Daily PO... and you can pick any of three planets to do it on... so it is worded sort of correctly... just misleading.. . thanks!

so the description for Daily PO: Outer Rim Heroics says this: . X/3 Complete [HEROIC] missions on Belsavis Complete missions on either Belsavis, Hoth, or Tatooine . so.. i did 2 heroic missions on Belsavis and 1 heroic mission on Tatooine... which according to the instructions should satisfy this Daily PO task.. but did not... . BUT.. i then noticed the sidebar description suggests i need to do THREE ON EACH PLANET... . X/3 Belsavis X/3 Tatooine X/3 Hoth . so what's with the 'either'' and 'or' in the description?.. shouldn't it be 'EACH of' and 'and'? . big difference between having to do 3 heroic missions on 1 planet of my choice and 9 heroic missions on 3 different planets without any choice!... hehe

thanks for the informative responses everybody!

so far i have only been soloing... have gotten to level 75 and finished story.. but i have never done an Operation.. . my character is DPS (damage)... so can i just use an Operation group finder and jump in?.. or are these something that you are suppose to know what the group is strategically doing?.. meaning.. would people be angry for me to enter a PUG and not 'know exactly what i am suppose to do when'? . if they are NOT just 'jump in'... and plan/strategies for the group are how these are done.. then i guess a guild would be the best way to get started... yes? . but i would prefer it if it is 'OK" to just join an Operation for the first time without knowing 'the plan'...
