Is there a guide somewhere that explains what happens when you rip mods out of the 55 com gear? I just blew 150 coms thinking the offhand sabre hilt could be used in a main hand slot. The warning wasn't exactly clear about that when I bought it. EDIT: As an added insult, I accidently replaced my old 30 might hilt by mistake. Uggggggh.

There should be a special in hell for people who queue up as healers, refuse to do any healing and then give you poo poo because your healing was not good enough

Well finally made it through two pug 55hm's to get my comms for the week before rollover last night. Hammer station oddly went well. Cademimu however was painful. Rant rant rant rant. So, Pot5 could really use more people. Or something.

How do I search for guild members so I can ask for an invite? I'm on Jedi Covenant so it's That's No Goon, right?

Open up the "Who" window and type "That's No Goon" in the search box, then click the dropdown that says "Comment" and change it to "Guild". That should get you some names to whisper, then just ask if there's any officers on. I'll be on tonight for sure, but I may be on my Republic characters. Speaking of, I've been running my Scoundrel through daily FPs and warzones as a healer, and it's way more fun than I'd expected. I'm trying to get in some experience as a position player instead of my usual "stand in one spot and DPS", and warzones are good practice for learning situational awareness.

Better to just search for "goon", /who search has implicit ORs between every word.

Coming out of that experiment had me more convinced than ever that most people will never approach their potential if they only ever PvE.

They're just the most un-fun things I've ever done because there's nothing you can do if your healer is a derp.

At level 19, I just discovered how amazing Warzones are. I've already gained 50k experience in the last 35-40 minutes. In fact, I just hit level 20. I'm going to do this for a while instead of running back and forth all over a planet to do quests for 6k experience.

Conversely, if you're a healer, there's few things more annoying than your tank either a) not using his threat gen moves or a +threat gen stance (if he has one), or b) deciding to run around behind obstacles in the room so you have to jog everywhere to keep him within line of sight.

As a healer my most hated thing I ever see in an FP is a tank that just hard focuses on one mob. It's so hard for them to understand that they don't need to worry about their dps on one mob. If the Mob isn't in the range of their PBAOE then it's not getting tanked and instead is going to attack me.

All the PvP gear is level 55 right, so in the meantime should I spend my warzone commendations on planetary commendations?

Personally, I didn't find planetary comms all that useful - they drop like candy anyway if you bother to quest at all. What I found more useful was: before my valor rank got to 40, I spent the comms on Warzone Adrenals and Medpacks, I have a few hundred of each now for using in lv 55 pvp. When you get to Valor 40, you should switch wz comms to ranked commendations, you'll be able to get a couple of conqueror pieces when you hit 55, which is very helpful.

Kainser posted:Sure, but you'll gain a lot less experience when the weekly/daily isn't up. Questing is still a lot faster when that happens. I leveled 4 characters doing just warzones and flashpoint dailies. As long as you aren't in a huge hurry, it's pretty quick. Daily WZ, daily flashpoint, swap to different character. Get a level every 1-2 days of doing it. Sure questing is quicker when you're grinding away, but for an hour of play a day, it was pretty easy.

Is anyone having a problem with the launcher? Whenever I try to start Swtor up it tells me the Launcher is updating, shuts down and then informs me that only one instance can run at a time twice. Is anyone familiar with this problem and how to solve it? Its been like this the whole day.

Neat Bastilla homage in the Jedi Consular storyline. This storyline seems to get a bad rep for its awful Act 1 but it seems perfectly fine to me so far. Needs more dark side force push options though.

Act 1 hits peak awful after you get the Nueticons (sp?) because it's the same drat crap until the end of the act. All the classes have a "find 4 mcguffins" plot I think but Consular is just so bad at hiding it.

While the tank should grab the focus of as many mobs as they can, many pulls involve spread out adds, and it's the job of DPS to kill them in weaker -> stronger order. Tons of DPS don't do this and instead only focus on the tank's target which is exactly the wrong thing to do. Nephthys posted:Theres no other launcher.

I had to wait like 2 minutes for the launcher to update. During which it vanished from the foreground and reappeared out of no where later on. The launcher is always quite janky in my Windows 8 install. Whenever I start it up, I have to basically let it sit there for about 30 seconds before it pops back in and only clicking on it will 'refresh' it so I can actually confirmed I typed in my password. If I click on any other windows while it's loading, it will usually orphan itself and I cannot recover it without an end-task and restarting the launcher.

Something must have gone wrong with my update. I guess the next step is to just call up support and get to the bottom of this. Edit: Yeah, it looks like this is a problem many are having. Support was able to fix it for me. Anyone else having similar problems just call them up. Thanks for the help guys. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Jul 31, 2013 |
