I went into the Tatooine one with Lana at 26 and had no real trouble until the very end, it was just a long slog through. At the last exarch fight, she just got melted by the two captains and I died instantly without her healing me. All 190/200 gear.

There aren't any adds in the Exarch fight? I mean if you're having any trouble heroic moment is there to be used and its at a 5 min cd, and I didn't need ti for the actual boss fight.

I SAID GOOD DAY SIR
There are 2 gold captains in the room, and the exarch himself floats in the air and randomly blasts an area with a DoT. A side door adds 4 regulars every few minutes, and he powers up a droid for you to take a capacitor from. The previous two rooms didn't have gold mobs in them, and I got through those. This room just ruins my poo poo though, I can't get the captains down and trying to just focus on droids to disable the exarch doesn't seem to work either.

edit: wait, maybe not exarch -- I don't know what he's called

Yeah it was Tarso Gren, Exarch of Tatooine. And I must have just been a little retarded because I just got through it. For some reason, dealing with all the adds and leaving the two gold mobs beating on Lana is totally fine. And you can't click the computer to knock down the Exarch with the gold mobs up, so you have to just chip away at them between adds. lovely fight to do alone.

Oh I wouldn't want to do it solo again, just because it takes so drat long. The 30-40 minutes worth of mob hp to beat down is terrible.

I want to make sure I'm not doing this wrong in regards to the solo mode flashpoints. Are only some of them available to solo? I'm trying to do Hammerstation but when I get the mission I don't get an option to solo it. Just tactical.

Yeah a few of them (mostly the ones that don't have a real plot other than "poo poo's going down here, go kill bad guys") are only available in tactical mode - namely Hammer Station, Athiss, Mandolorian Raiders, Cademimu, and maybe Colicoid War Games?

Also the way you actually solo the ones you can where you get a mission is janky too, considering you have to drop the automatic tactical mission you get, take the solo option from the NPC, usually outside the entrance, and then enter and do it, which progresses the actual story mission as well.

And if you happened to zone into the tactical you have to reset the instance before you can enter on Solo too. But, Bioware.

So does the droid animation from the Sith Recluse armor come from a single piece or do you need the whole set? I got the upper body box so I have the chest (which is really the only piece I care to use) but I can't put it on the character I want to yet as the box is still bound for a while longer on my main.

So, guild is pretty much full with everyone having logged on in the last 30 days, and having one from 170 to 215 active accounts.

If you have alts you never plan on playing again, please log on and /gquit with them. Otherwise we might have to impose an alt limit which would be stupid and dumb.

That is the Ilum quest chain, False emperor is the final one, after Battle of Ilum. Both is located on Ilum, in the basement.

I tanked a hardmode maelstrom prison in 192 gear just fine. The bosses don't really hit hard but the trash packs do. Though I had a great 65 healer.

I'm enjoying riling people up on the official forums. Some people really, really don't like to be reminded that imperial agents, bounty hunters, troopers, and smugglers can carry the same story with the same weight against the same foes as their beloved Jedi and Sith. KotFE even goes out of its way to explain how and why non-Force classes attracted the Emperor's undivided attention and why he considers you worthy despite not being Force sensitive, but to some people it apparently causes aneurysms to consider that non-Force classes could possibly play the same role in the story as the Lord Wrath/Darth Whatever/Barsen'thor/Battlemaster.

There's two types of goals. The ones with the little "X" next to the point total can be completed only once per legacy, so account for that if you're doing conquest on more than one character. The other ones with the little infinity symbol can be repeated. These will change up depending on the week. I think they've moved away from having crafting as a repeatable goal because some guilds were just grinding crafting non-stop for the week and nobody else could compete without doing the same.

I don't think disabling (or reenabling) BitRaider is going to change much about speeds, it's still downloading the same content from the same servers, just not in a streaming format.

I hate this. I wanted to do crafting for the 216 and 220 gear to sell and got some 216 schematics unlocked but they take that conquest mat. Since that thing is selling for over a million each I thought I would try to earn some. Only real way to do that it seems is PVP which is dumb as gently caress.

Next week should be easier to hit conquest on, it's Flashpoint Havoc, so should be able to hit if you queue for random flashpoints a bit.

Just pug healed a GF EV. Good news is, it's not THAT tough - mobs hit a lot harder but as long as you know the mechanics you'll be fine. Every boss drops a piece of 216 loot for each person in the raid, which is nice (not sure if this is a group finder bonus or the new thing with SM raids).

The bad news -

1 - They put an invisible wall up in the shortcut area before the pylons, so you have to clear trash.

2 - Gharj is bugged so lava platforms either don't appear or are invisible

3 - Soa is bugged still so invisible platforms dropping unless you look up!
