FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS

This game really needs an ability prune like wow had. I'm drowning in goddamn buttons.

As said about every 5-7 pages, you really don't need half the buttons you have. :) Different specs use different abilities. Even the big scary marauder really only has 10ish buttons you need to worry about unless you're doing serious raiding.

To be fair, how many abilities are superfluous is also a good argument for a cull.

Or at least restricting them to specs.

vvv this argument was dumb when they were pruning abilities in wow and it is not any less dumb now.

e: i've also recently learned that swtor playerbase is actively against dual-spec so w/e

They already simplified the game with 3.0. Really, I don't think there are too many abilities. There has to be SOME human element in "Is this something I would use in PvE? What about PvP?" MMORPGs DO have some strategy needed.

But I come from EverQuest, so what do I know.

Is this the first time that the phrase "goons about this stuff" has ever been used as a compliment?

This late into the week, I'd say no. I'm already sick of it and I've only done it 3 days. You can't really get any thing good out of it the first time around, so just be aware. It takes like what, 4 events to get max rep which is where you can get the vehicles.

I installed the APK to my Kindle Fire, not really sure if that helps but you can do it that way if you have one.

Ah cool, I wasn't sure if that was true or not. Cause somehow I'm not actually going to make friendly this week. Not even sure how that can happen.

Ah I now see the error I made. So bonus week saves me a wait until the next event. Neat.

Remember to keep collecting rep pieces after you max out your weekly rep. You can hoard them and even after the event is over you can still use the rep tokens. Furthermore the vendors stay on Ilum after the event is over so you can just grind until you get the tokens to reach legend and buy stuff whenever.

So i got the urge to play this again, i never finished my class storyline the first time around (i got a sniper and a jedi consular around mid-levels), so it's still "new" to me.
Is there a goon guild still playing on the EU servers ?

Buy something that binds to your Legacy and costs basics comms, stick it in your legacy vault (guild ship has one if you don't), have the other character take it out and return it before the return timer expires.
