[Is AMD Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express (PCIe) DVI grapic card good for medium?]

There are mobo+processor deals on many websites can get a 2500k+mobo for around 270-300 bucks.

[This game badly needs mods and macros.]

This games UI was made with flash we aren't getting any mods soon. I have friends who work at Curse who had a meeting with SWTOR devs a couple years ago to start implementing a team effort for UI development and approaches and they flat out said no we are not allowing it. They seem to not have the pulse of the community or just have the most arrogant development team ever thinking we can agree with all their decisions.

[worth creating pug for ops?]

To be honest with my experience, you need to worry more about dps and less about tanks in hard modes. Because thats what will stop you from killing bosses.

 

4/5 bosses in hardmode are actually cake and you will get them in 2-3 tries if not one shot. I pugged hard mode and we had to do 1-2 tries because we had to tweak strats to meet enrage timers. Like for first boss letting BH dps to stay out in missile barrage phase and keep on attacking boss etc. Still it didnt feel like any sort of hard mode if you ask me.

 

 

The whole group can stay out on missile barrage did it with BH/Sorc heals

[Another week, another bunch of Eternety Vault BUGS!]

I can't tell if BW does not give a crap or they think this is acceptable for end game content.

WOW has its flaws but they made sure raids/dungeons are done correctly and work up to par.

[crafting skill exploiting?]

I don't see why not if you want to spend the credits necessary to do this.

[Credits will be totally worthless very soon.]

Full night of repairs in nightmare mode Soa 200k there's your credit sink until you get it on farm.

[SOA difficulty in comparison to EV]

Every fight is just a massive gear check with outdated boring enrage timer mechanics. Need to get more creative than just adding enrage timers to fights and include mechanics that make people think on their feet.

[Please fix normal mode operation loot]

Not to mention the excessive amount of Trooper gear that drops over all other class types?

 

I have noticed this also my mercenary is purple in every slot everything that drops has freaking aim on it I kind of feel bad but on the other hand I heal and have amazing gear to carry now

[Please fix normal mode operation loot]

After you clear normal once go onto hard mode?

 

I do agree it is annoying to see loot assigned to a person who already has the piece or whatever but seriously, move onto hard mode and put on master looter.

 

We are 5/5 hard mode it is idiotic though not to clear normal also for extra loot at minimum to get 4 piece sets and weapons both being Columi level.

[Hard Mode Difficulty Ranking]

Hardmode is same thing as normal but tighter enrage/more HP/more damaging abilities it is very simple just need to bring 1 tank/2 heals/5 dps and should have no problems. Only fight I saw with a difference was the puzzle boss you can't click the console over and over you get a cool down and need to rotate.

 

If you are having trouble hitting enrage on first boss in EV just stack up for the mortar volley thing when he sits down and hits everyone use aoe heals and personal cooldowns this strat worked for a BH heals/Sorc heals comp.

[Please fix normal mode operation loot]

It is just really frustrating I am a min/max player and the best way to progress is upgrading your guild mates with loot that gives the largest upgrades/benefit but the game just laughs in your face and makes you vendor loot basically.

 

Making loot tradable would fix all these problems you put systems in place for the small minority of ******s out there and screw over the large majority of people who are not gigantic loot whore ninjas.

[Please fix normal mode operation loot]

When loot drops that I have and gets assigned to me over another Mercenary who just hit 50 and we are trying to get gear for quickly it isn't a very effective system. This needs to be looked into being changed and currently Hard/Nightmare loot works fine we have a master looter who assigns loot with no problems but a whole normal mode clear is wasted when people with loot already have companion epics now basically while your guild mate is sitting in greens.

 

At least make purple loot tradeable for a small time window within operations/flashpoints to avoid these type of situations that is all I ask thanks.

[Why is there a copy protection system in the graphics, and is it crippling the game?]

The best part is BW trying to pull the wool cloth over our eyes and get these things by us. No one is going to just accept the game for what it is and not try to improve it the Star Wars name is not enough to ignore things like this.

[HM Eternity vault w/ pvp gear?]

We did hard mode 5/5 in a mostly 8 man pug in just a mix of epics and blues the content isn't hard at all keep in mind we were top 20 US wow raiders.

 

Hardest part is figuring out you just need 1 tank for the whole place so you can bring an extra DPS for enrage timers and makes every fight so much easier.

[50's in pvp]

Good luck killing me with 18k HP healing on my merc

[Underleveled if only doing solo quests]

Need to do the bonus series missions to keep up or sometimes get ahead.

[This game has more performance-issues than any MMO ever.]

WOW caters to every budget and can run on almost any computer including Mac version. SWTOR has a much higher minimum spec and BW ismissing out on a lot of potential purchases of the game because of this.

[Can we get some sort of "LFG" type words filter for chat or should we start reporting]

Worried about LFG tool ruining community with no one out in the world? Every damn flashpoint and operation is RIGHT in the fleet no one moves at all now anyways except for the 2 Ilum flashpoints it is far worse than wow with LFG included atleast you have to travel to raids in wow.

[Auto looting in normal operations - Group loot?]

Stupid mechanic I am full epics and bring my merc friend along to get stuff and I get random crap assigned to me grats on wasting both our time.

[Auto looting in normal operations - Group loot?]

Seems like a bug on normal mode...Hard/Nightmare difficulty the group loot rolls pop up for every item.

[[Discussion] presumably strongest single-target-dps-class]

Arsenal Merc seems to do good single target DPS and easy rotation that can be done forever. Heatseeker missiles hit like a truck (over 5k in my gear) along with spammable tracer missiles for over 3k crits.

[A plea for the Mercenary play style]

Pyro does crap damage doesn't matter how much "fun" it is. Would be like saying frost mage is fun in wow I will raid as that but you are gimping the raid.

[BH Healing for PVE]

Mercs are very good tank heals and can do it indefinitely without any worry. Then have your other healer take care of the raid.

 

Usually I can sustain a rotation of Healing Scan > 2x Rapid Scans > filler forever.

Burst heal time I use combustible gas and use a kolto missile for the dmg reduction and pound out Healing Scans. Should be able to reapply the kolto missile shield before the gas buff wears off the graphic is bugged if you reapply but the buff is there.

[''The other game'' timed their move perfectly.]

I already see DPS mercs using alacrity on every item piece which is the worst dps stat for us so all those problems exist here too.

[''The other game'' timed their move perfectly.]

Don't kid yourselves TOR has the same LFR level raiding as wow but without auto formed groups there is 3 difficulties per operation:

 

Normal mode - LFR faceroll difficulty if you don't believe me make a pug eternity vault group drops Tionese 126 level items.

Hard Mode - Catered to guilds and more of a challenge drops Columi 136 level gear.

Nightmare - The most Challenging content currently drops Rakata 140 level gear.

 

It is a very well thought out process to allow more of the player base to have access to operations and this is the current way it is being handled and is carbon copy of wow model.
