In general if you mention that you haven't seen the flashpoint before people are generally good about not complaining about watching the cutscenes. If they do complain you likely don't want to group with them anyhow. As for finding a group that doesn't mind the cutscenes you should look for a guild with similar interests to your own. I know on the republic side of Bergeren Colony there are few complaints aout people not skipping.

I had this bug occur in the Hadra area 4 quest on Dromund Kaas. We had3 players and one companion DPS. When the companion DPS died we decided to switch to a healer companion and when we did the DPS companion stayed out too.

Combat Medic Spec 1. How do you think your Commando spec is perceived by other classes? I have overheard on many occasions that Commando Heals are the weakest and that they should be the last choice for a healer in Flashpoints or Operations. In PvP I constantly hear that I shouldn't even be queueing if I am going to play Medic in a warzone. 2. How do you perceive your own spec? above average heals in PvE but unable to counteract extreme bursty type DPS, AoE healing is on the light side and could be improved with Smart AoE targets. Healing in PvP is subpar and easy to overcome. Anytime Hammer Shot is used to Heal in PVP its a Beacon to kill the healer, and cripples healing on the move. Gunnery Spec 1. How do you think your Commando spec is perceived by other classes? Gunnery has the perception of being a one-button wonder able to do massive DPS by spamming nothing but Grav Round. 2. How do you perceive your own spec? PvE sustained DPS is good on fights over 30 seconds where there isn't alot of movement (like Ops Bosses) however PvP damage takes a while to ramp up. Not being able to Move in PvP can also be a huge detriment as most DPS abilites are channeled or have a cast bar. There is little way to get out of melee range and seems like most Melee have twice the number of gap closers as we have ways to get away.

This is a difficult question to answer as much of it comes down to preference. I personally use a thumb trackball instead of a mouse. It only has 2 buttons on it but allows me to move and react much quicker as I never run out of mouse space. As for keyboards I recently bought a Razer Nostromo and its taken some getting used to but I do see it as a more convenient keyboard for TOR. My suggestion is to try out your device of choice at your local electronics store. Try to get a feel if you can reach the extra buttons comfortably. If you think its a good fit for how you play then I would purchase it. You may want to find out what kind of return policy the store has incase it just doesn work out for you.

At the guild summit it was mentioned early to mid april as a target but there hasn't been an offical date announced yet.

This is working as intended. With the bolter system all levels play together, with the exception of level 50s as they get their own bracket. The reason for this is when you start getting expertise (level 50 only) you start doing more damage and taking less in PvP, so the 50s were split into their own bracket in the idea of more fairness.

How incredibly vague and unhelpful. Which ability is it? What class are you? can you get into some specific greviances?

I also won on my smuggler, and I also chose the old lady. For my win I recieved about 1600 credits.

Yes, you can RE a Deft 22A Schematic to get the blue version. Its the only one I successfully have gotten so far.

It would be better if everybody put a /bug report in-game instead. Not a customer service request but a bug report.
