I have the music in the game set to 0 so I can stream it without getting copyrighted. But when starting a new character the opening Star Wars music and planet entry don't respect the music volume. Now I end up with a Twitch VOD where a good chunk is muted by some automated process including where I'm just talking. Why doesn't the opening scene respect the volume control in the game settings?

Like the title says. Im suggesting adding a small 2 sec. stun affect to Concussion Charge instead of the slow affect. This should help us since most of our abilities have a timed activation.

To the OP. I wish I could disagree with you but you're absolutley right. We cant handle 1vs1 combat against melee fighters. They just haven't built us that way. To the others who say l2p or never go out alone. That's just BS. You don't get to lvl 50 and BM gear without knowing how to play. And we shouldn't need someone to hold our hand just to go out into the world. Every good damage ability a commando has a acitvation time. So going againts any of the other classes your going to have your casts interupted and ammo drained becasue of it. Some of them have multpile interupts, my Vanguard has 5. For a heavy armor wearing trooper Commandos are way too squishy. Guess it comes with being an after thought to the game.

Im right there with you. Got owned twice by an Operative on Ilum. Had me at half HP bar before I even got to react. And I mean breaking out of his damn stun move, he then cloaks again flash things me and Im dead within a few seconds after that. I only got him down one quarter of his HP bar. He did the same thing to a Jedi Guardian. We ended up taking him down together but he still was able to take out the Guardian. I think commandos need a boost or better defenses! Hell I wear Heavy Armor and I die faster than a light armored char.

The spec was in the beginning of the video and this was a Battlemaster Geared player going agains alot of lower chars before the bracketed War Zones. Im not saying he isnt a good player but you better beleave that isn't going to happen against good imps. Only time you're going to own 2 ppl at a time with any class is if they sucks REALLY bad at playing the class. And you make No mistakes. Although it makes me want to try Combat Medic again.

Work on your kiting abilities by using the strafe keys and the right mouse button for camera control to stay on target. It takes practice but it's a life saver in some fights. In PVE I rarely go below 3/4 HP bar on elites. In PVP its another matter but, still very usefull when there are objects for you to weave around and fire your instant casts.

Like the title says "Give Harpoon/Grapple the ability to work on Friendly Targets" just like the Jedi/Sith and their Pull abilities. I find it strange we can't use Harpoon/Grapple to pull friendly, it does no damage that I'm aware of. It would be nice to pull a friendly target away from a group of enemies that are about to kill them.

You need Troopers/Bounty Hunters with Stealth scan. If they rinse and repete, stop the ball carrier. Or have someone kill the one at the goal line. even without stealth scan you can see them on and off. All the War Zones are about tatics, pugs normally revert into who can get the most kills or gamage output. When its the winners who reap the rewards.

Vanguards have Storm and it has a 4 sec speed buff to 30% that can be speced in the skill tree. Also I've seen another class boost my speed somehow. Never knew who or how but my speed increased while in combat during a few War Zones.

I didn't know that, I see the charge amount and cancel. I havent respeced alot but, I dont like that fact I have to pay. Gonna have to write my respec date down and check that out again in 7 days.

I would like to see a free repec of your skills every 5 levels after you select you AC at level 10. This will allow us to try a tree and change it if we like. My 2 cents.

Don't chase him and harpoon him or use Storm if you speced shield. CC is for classes that cant handle multi opponent combat. Vanguard isnt that class! We are in your face, cast interupting battle masters. The cool thing with Storm is it imobilizes them for 2 sec and if you addtionally spec it you can get a 30% speed increase for 4 sec. I never try to chase someone down if they are out of my 10 meter range. It is anoying though to be stunned! Just vent it out on them later when you catch them.

Ive used CB after I got my 4 GR debuffs on the target. This is in the middle of using FA and I use CB to trigger the instant CD of FA. Spamming GR will work on a inexperienced player or one destracted. Its when you get experienced players that its not spamable because, they usually converge on you with interupts. I like the HS, CB and FA as my main attacks with only a GR to keep their armor weak. The rapid hitting of rounds normally make them run away or panic. Yeah CB and FA can be interupted but when they are I just use one that wasnt interupted. Granted Im talking about War Zones, heck in PVE anything will really work.

Yes and I changed servers. Then used the samething again. Looks like Ill be chagning servers again. I have yet to see this end game stuff. How about having an option of not using a Legacy name, that would be nice.

Agreed! At least in PVE you have more room for mistakes but, in PVP this targeting screw up cost matches. The Targeting BUG is more of a problem than the stupid CD on the UI! Please BioWare address this issue.

I had the same problem with her on that planet. I solved it by getting her geared the with same quality as myself. Using hand me downs just didnt cut it. A trick I used was to buy a PVP weapon with attributes that fit her and stripped them out. I then placed them into her blaster. For some reason they dont have PVP blaster pistol weapons with Aim, End, Crit, Surge. So I had to improvise. As for the OP stick to one tree until youre in your 30's. If you want to level fast EDIT: Gunnery is a good choice.

Its a nice change but still needs more work. The flashing can be dimmed a little more. Like other have suggested how about giving us an option for that display. Im not saying move Moddable UI to the top of your list but you have already implemented multiple changes to the CD UI display. Why not give a an option in prefrences on your previous methods? The Code is already written by you BioWare!

Then make sure you have a balanced group before hand.

One we do not need an interupt. Two how can you give an ability for PVE and not have it used in PVP? I hate casters and I usually get torn up a little bit but, I prefer unloading hell upon them. Eventully they end up running away unless they have support in PVP. Heck in PVE this should never be a problem since they can get cut down really fast. If youre having issues in PVE kit your comps with gear as good as yours and not hand me downs. We do have a 1 minute stun ability that Vanguards dont get so, if a caster is giving you grief stun them and take out his adds first. Please BW dont give us an interupt we don't need it!

I ran into this problem after adjusting some key bindings and mapping to mouse buttons. I even disabled the auto run key binding and I still kept having this happen. I reset all the key bindings to default and it stopped. I thought it was my Logitech software and mapping keys. I ended up buying a Naga Razer and placed all my important abilities in the top bottom quick slots. Nice to see I wasnt the only one having the problem.

This is a loaded question since both classes can do great in PVP. Its really going to come down to how you like to play. Vanguard are up close melee with a blaster rifle and Commandos are ranged with an Assualt Cannon. I have one of each and I seem to do higher DPS with my commando/gunnery spec. Normally within the top 3 in damage in every match. GRx2, FA, HIB, CB, repeat. When my FA gets an instant CD I use it anywhere in the rotation. If with another commando who is using GR, I skip mine and go right into FA, GR rotation. Although my vanguard/shield spec seems to get more Awards because of the guarding ability. I havent tried vanguard/tatics so not sure how that would affect my dps output.

Take the Armortech talent and build your own armor. I've been doing it with my commando and have sent pieces to my vanguard. The armor you make will be of better quality than what you can buy from vendors the majority of the time. And they match or VERY closely match. In other words your armor wont look like Rainbow Brite made it. Also the armor you make can vary between the level 20 and 40 pvp gear, like level 29, 33, 35, 37, etc. PVP gear is only 20 and 40 so I wouldnt rely on those pieces forever. I would use the pvp coms for weapons which you can get about every 4 - 6 levels.

Then why would they give an ability that can only be used in pvp? Do any other classes have abilities that can only be used in pve? I kept trying to use this last night in pvp and pve after freeving with a cryo and it never fired. I think its more of a bug than design. I use Ion cell all the time so not sure that could be it.

I think it counts you self heals and I do that alot when I can find a place to hide after a fight.

No I dont see a difference. All I see is ppl complaining about NOT knowing how to play. If you see a puller on the ledge dont go near him until he is taken care of. If you know a leaper is with the ball dont get into range or LOS. Learn to play your character and work as a team. Running around tring to stack up a lot of kills isnt going to win any match except Deathball. If you read the previous post you would *** know. It was about Civil War not Huttball.
