Hi all, I've been a part of this game since beta and have recently come back after a couple of years break, levelled up a new Scoundrel to 75 and looking to see if there are any RP guilds that accept casual members. But I'm also looking to see if these RP guilds also do PVE content such as Flashpoints and Operations. Operations was a part of the game I never got into so would like to start learning how to do them. Cheers

Updated again because I found mails proving that I have destroyed both Belsavis and Alderaan Star Fortresses on H2 but neither companion have been granted to me.

Just updated with screenshots. UPDATE: I logged in and tried to find the companions 1) Choza Rabaat 2) K'krohl and neither of them are in the alliance headquarters. I used travel to contact from the companions window and it sends me to their respective planets, Alderaan and Belsavis, but neither of them appear. I've used K'krohl in the screenshots as an example of this. It's as if they are lost in a limbo.

Hi, So I logged onto an alt who was up to Chapter 9: Anarchy in Paradise of the Knights of the Eternal Empire story. Before I proceeded with C9 I wanted to do all Star Fortresses and Alliance alerts. I completed all Star Fortresses and 3 of the companions still show under the Alliance Recruit tab in my companion window. These are: 1) Choza Rabaat - Alderaan 2) Rokuss - Voss 3) K'krohl - Belsavis Other Star Fortress companions like... 1) Deadeye Leyta - Tatooine 2) Hemdil Tre - Hoth ...show properly in the Other Followers tab. Why haven't the others moved to this tab of the companion window? It's as if the game hasn't registered I've done the quests but I have done all the heroics and the companions sit in my bunker saying what a great job I did blowing up their respective planets star fortress. Added screenshots to showcase the problem. As you can see, the text on K'krohl only says I've defeated the shield bunker, but K'krohl information in companion window: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqGNdDBKJ95N3RpcGxody1CazA K'krohl location on Belsavis: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqGNdDBKJ95TkNYSzI2anMzWjg K'krohl location on Odessen: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqGNdDBKJ95SW15VURtbDBoNlk Proof completed Belsavis H2 Star Fortress: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqGNdDBKJ95dEJ0VjQzaXhwOG8 Proof completed Alderaan H2 Star Fortress https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqGNdDBKJ95TXZGNEk3UGNCUUk

When I did chapter 1 everything was fine. I got the achievement and the rewards and was ported to the fleet. But with chapter 2 and chapter 3 I have been kicked to character select. Chapter 2 I still received the reward and achievement but for chapter 3 I only received the reward and didn't get the achievement.

Confirmed that the achievements are bugged. I got Wudd last night and lost the data packet so went back and got him a second time and the achievement disappeared when I logged back into the game. It stopped me wanting to farm the other 2 until it is fixed but I do hope they grant the achievement back to us. Also to note, don't "sell junk" via vendors or companions as it will also sell the data packet you loot and you will not be able to get it back. Ticket number: 14578163

Firstly thanks to Uziforyou for calming the flamers. It seems some people in this community are just too quick to jump on others for having a simple, harmless questions... Anyway, I agree with Arunav who stated that the game's focus is becoming heavy on the Cartel Market. With Star Wars Galaxies being my first MMO the whole "online shop" is pretty new to me as I never really encountered it much before, it just seems a shame, to me, that they have put a lot of effort and time in this when, like Negligence said, other systems such as crafting are being harmed by this "cash injection" into the system. I don't want to complain about it, because I have previously (and most likely will once again) pay to get extra Cartel Coins as I do want some of the stuff. It just seems a big shame that this seems to be their sole focus at the moment. I'm signed to the newsletter and other than the "Makeb" update, I always seem to be hearing about new pack here, new pack there, especially in the patch notes when it is filled with "discount applied here, discount applied there". As a subscriber I personally feel like I just have to pay more and more to get the amazing (personal view) aesthetics as, as stated above, is what their focus on is at the moment. I mean with the introduction of Makeb things might be different and my views will change. It was just the conversation with my friend last night, and her views that sparked me to see what other people thought! Thanks to the people who actually brought some constructive thoughts into this, greatly appreciated, those who didn't, flame on

Well I've just looked at the first 3 pages and no there is not "37 other topics" which you claim, there is one regarding a Skiff bug which = not my concern. And I'm sorry if I didn't get the point that it is the subscribers paying all the £££ but it is people like you, with your reaction to my post, even after I expressed my lack of desire to flame and was just curious, that I hesitate to even post my opinions or thoughts on these forum boards. My question was merely looking for what other people thought of this situation, and no I haven't seen a similar thread that is easily accessible, hence why I created this one....

Hi all, I tried to find a similar thread but after getting past page 5 I gave up so thought I'd just create me own! I was having this conversation with a friend online last night and was really just interested in what other peoples opinions were on it. Now before I start I have to say I do like the packs, I think some of the gear in them is great and I have seen a lot of people on the fleet run around in cool gear combos which is good! However, my main gripe about it is that I pay like £8 per month roughly to play the game, after paying like £120 for the Collector's edition and I've never seen an update where they have added new gear to loot, or even seen the Collector's Edition vendor get updated with decent gear. They are throwing different packs out right, left and centre and I like to collect certain things, I.E the pets and vehicles, but the only way to do so is if I buy more packs which means spending more £££. Fair enough the F2P players could use the Cartel Coins to buy the packs gear and the extra privileges, but does anyone else feel like they have somehow lost out a little bit as a subscriber when it comes to lootable stuff? They could of introduced some of the gear as lootable random drops for those with subscriber status (or something a long these lines), but especially those who bought the CE and barely look at that vendor anymore. I'm not starting a flame and surely don't want to moan about anything because I do love the game, as I state in the first paragraph, I'm just curious on others views on this one.

Omg thank god I stumbled upon this thread! This happened to me a couple of days ago and I asked in general chat on the fleet and people thought I was turning crazy :-( I just started a healing commando and picked up Armortech so I could make my own armour and then produce armour for my future Imperial Agent. Made some swanky boots (win) and equipped them. Carried on crafting, logged out for the night, next morning i picked up where I left off and had none of my blue schematics, easily must of had about five.... I reversed engineered another item and got the blue version of it, but the recipe never showed up in my crafting list either. I haven't come across a fix, but I know I have made a blue version as I'm wearing the boots at the moment ;-) UPDATE: Just looked again and I originally bought the Fortified Boot and Heavy Military Boot recipes when I picked up the crew skill and now the Fortified Boot recipe no longer appears in my crafting window and shows up in the trainers window, but I know 100% I bought it originally. UPDATE: So I was going through my Armortech again and it happened to me. I haven't logged off this time, have just been doing PVP whilst crafting and now all the blue schematics I gained by reverse engineering have disseapred >.< This is seriously putting me off crafting until the situation is resolved. I'm just waiting credits and time when what I have acquired no longer appears there, so I am basically just running around in circles. Hope Bioware seriously fix this quickly as it is a game breaker for those of us who spend time crafting. UPDATE: I've just submitted a ticket about this issue after losing about 3 hours worth of crafting :-(

I'm in the same boat, but it's my Shadow who I wanted to play

Yes you are correct, this was in the level 10-49 bracket on a non-pvp server. I'm not a hardcore PVPer and only do it for the fun and reached a personal best I wished to share with the rest of the community. It may not be the best ever, and yes I did do zero damage with minimal objectives, primarily because the whole round I was healing my team-mates, but for me it was a personal best in my healing and I was proud to share it, considering that I haven't seen anyone on my server heal to that amount before. Some of you may not agree that it is good, but I do feel the first 2 comments are completely unnecessary to put someone down on something they are proud of themselves for, but after all you are entitled to your opinions. Thanks to both Sharee and Chritie for their comments

Would just like to share my proudest moment in SWTOR. http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy199/KezJona0/Screenshot_2012-06-12_23_51_47_178914.jpg <3 my little Scoundrel.

I do have one question to your skill set: Why do you only have 50% decrease in pushback? Surely wouldn't an extra point go a long way with an extra 25%?

Hello all, I reached level 10 on my Sage last night and I read the Jedi Sage's Handbook but the latter pages say that the information is very out-dated so I just wanted some clarification on some things. I was thinking of taking the Standard Levelling healing route recommended by Astral but he states I was wondering whether this is still the case to invest the first 5 points into Telekinetics and if it is worth losing the AOE heal at 20 and only being able to obtain it at level 25 if I go this route? Also, if this is not the case could people please clarify how to move up the skill tree. Thanks Kez

I love your signature, I'm in exactly the same boat. Collector's edition holder and subbed from day 1, but because I don't have a level 50 yet means I get discriminated from a rare privilege of receiving 30 days free game time - because let's all be honest, how often does any MMO offer FREE game time?

/signed Whole reason my level 42 commando healer hasn't levelled up in over 2 weeks. Moved to Scoundrel healing then we also got a nerf! Sods law xD

@BarkerW I've tried all of what you suggested a couple of weeks ago but it didn't really seem to help the game run any better. I always have my msconfig cleaned up to run the basics so I know it's not that causing the problem, as well as the task manager. @Illandre I just looked at the Alienware's but the cheapest I could have is the M11x on the basic spec they are providing as they are just too dear. No matter how much I want one, it's just a dream right now @Garandhero I looked at them but not really within the price range or desireable because I have never heard of the make before. Thanks for the replies and look forward to hearing some more

Bumped. Please anyone?

Hi folks! Hope your all enjoying SWTOR. I need some help in choosing a new laptop that can run TOR really well as it will be my main usage for using the laptop. I know I could use a desktop but it's not really convenient or desirable for me to by limited to one room to play in. I am currently using a laptop to play, Sony VAIO S series. Picture: http://laptop-computer-planet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Sony-VAIO-S-white.jpg These are the specs: Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Processor: Intel® Core i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz (4CPUs), ~2.7GHz Memory: 6144MB RAM Graphics: Name: AMD Radeon HD 6470M Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc. Chip Type: ATI Dispplay adapter (0x6760) DAC Type: Internal DAC(400MHz) Approx Total Memory: 3273MB Driver Version: 8.862.4.2000 Driver Model: WDDM 1.1 DDI Version: 11 In game these are my settings: Window Mode: Fullscreen (Windowed) Bloom: Off Conversation Depth of Field: On Texture Quality: Low Shader Complexity: Low Anti Aliasing: Off Character Detail: High Texture Anisotropy: Low Shadow Quality: Off Average FPS Rating: 15-20 - Not good :/ When the game first came out I had everything set to high and it worked like a dream, but now even with everything pretty much set to the lowest it can be, I find my laptop is struggling to keep up. The game does run smoothish, mainly things like PVP and Flashpoints is where my quality drops, making things difficult as a healer main. If I get passed the ball in Huttball then I can kiss even trying to throw it gooodbye, because as everyone jumps on me my FPS crashes and it's just too difficult to do anything. I am looking to spend £600 maximum, but if there is a decent laptop for like £50-£100 more I could be inclined to buy it. I have limited knowledge when it comes to buying a laptop, knowing some of the specs but not really what is essential for a gaming laptop. If anyone could possibly help me search for one, or know of any decent deals going around IN THE UK then please feel free to let me know with a link to the item or a description / picture of the laptop in question. Look forward to hearing replies P.S: I also forgot to mention that as of today my graphics have took a turn for the worst and when I tried to do a game of Huttball and Space combat the display kept going funny, flickering enemies in and out of visibility, as well as in game objects like asteroids and Huttball traps. P.P.S: Also the Sony VAIO is about 11inch screen and I would preferably prefer something bigger.

First off, I'd like to say that I have read some other topics and taken bits and bobs from these threads, but still finding a hell of a lot of problems trying to level my commando, specced as a combat medic I'll do my best to break it down on the different problems I am having. Solo Levelling Pre-Tatooine I was having a blast, not finding it very difficult to kill mobs, ran through the planets with relative ease. However, once I hit Tatooine I found that I struggled against mobs, and I mean really struggled If I am against 1 x Strong and 2 x Weak, I will send my companion on the strong and focus on the 2 Weaks myself. With a mixture of heals and attacking the 2 weaks my companion goes down like a sack of **** against the strong. I have alternated between Jorgan and M1-4X as there is no need for Dorne. Jorgan has always been given my hand me downs and M1-4X has always been modded up from quest items that I could find, but he goes down quicker then Jorgan does. When I am in a conversation and get attacked immediately after, I don't even bother trying because I just die all the time, then have to rez up and then plan a battle attack, still inches away from death. Pretty much after any fight I am in I have to use "Recharge and Reload" and this gets very very tedious. My main plan of attack, taking from the example of 1 x Strong and 2 x Weak, I will send my companion on the strong, sticky grenade one of the weaks followed by Plasma Grenande, then would either use Full Auto and Charged Bolts to take down what little health they had left. By this point the strong will be at about 1/2 - 3/4 health and my companion is then dead, leaving me to fight the strong. My gear is pretty good, I am level 30 and just started out-growing my PVP gear so am replacing it with any drops that have better stats. I got to Alderaan yesterday and gave up on the first quest because I just can't defeat what would be relative easy mobs. PVP In PVP I know my role - the healer. However, 9/10 I get flagged as the healer and then can kiss any fun from the WZ's goodbye as I just get jumped on immediately. I fail extremely at 1vs1, obviously I know I am not specced right for the PVP being the combat medic spec but I should be able to at least pull 1/4 damage if possible, half the time I can't even break their barriers to even do any damage. In terms of healing I do good, usually ranking in the top 3 of healers and have made a lot of friends who have said I was a good healer, but I'd like to actually be able to contribute something to a WZ other then healing and then being jumped on and then kiss my sorry *** goodbye. Key-Bindings I looked on YouTube at some Combat Medics in action and noticed their keybindings were not the standard 1 - = with shift and alt commands. But they had keys like E,R,F,G,T,Q all with shift & ctrl variations. So I copied this and found it is extremely helpful in fights, as all the keys are pretty much near your W,A,S,D keys.... but I still suck I'm just wondering am I even playing this class right, or even specced right for that matter to enjoy the game. I've already rolled a Jedi Shadow alt @ level 10 but don't want to lose motivation for my commando, which is my main for role-play as well. The story on its own is fantastic, one of the best I have played in the game, yett with the constant deaths, waiting for 5 minutes to rez up or just being jumped on in PVP is really getting what is left of my motivation to play this class Any hints, tips and advice are extremely welcome
