Did I miss a patch note somewhere that removed repair costs from tactical FPs? I'm noticing that I have 0 repair costs after running FPs now.

It's a known issue. Gear isn't taking damage, period, so there is no repair costs. Expect it to be fixed in the near future followed by a wave of bitching.

I was running through Heroics Imp Side on Makeb yesterday, and there was this one where you had to slice a computer, then disable some poison gas vents before you die. I managed to disable the vents as quick as I could, but then the game just arbitrarily killed me anyway. Am I missing something or is that just a thing that didn't translate well to the new level scaling system?

That's one that kinda sorta requires 2 people to pull off. You can do it with good timing and a healer comp, stimpacks and use of heroic moment. Might take a couple of tries.

The trick is to hit the "abandon" button and do heroics on a different planet because Makeb sucks

All of the Makeb heroics should be skipped. They're completely out of line with both time commitment and rewards compared to the rest. Way out of line.

They should give out 3-4x the rewards because they take a significantly larger amount of time, since I figure it'd be way more effort to tune them to not have to run across entire maps for a 5-stage objective sequence when the other heroics are 'kill like 10-15 dudes that are all in the same general area' or 'pick up 3 or 4 things that are all lying in view of each other'.

gently caress makeb.

Red-and-dark-grey makes it look like all the Sith Warrior sets. I'll need to get some dye to fix that...

The heroic missions drop purple rep trophies now iirc. Or if you prefer a more agonizing method of acquiring rep you could run through the Makeb story and get lots of green trophies.

Yeah it's an excellent time to clear bank space. They also do sales that change every few hours on Friday. Amazon had coins for 20% off last year.

Now I'm hearing that the heroics on Makeb are too much to solo, so I guess my characters who are about Makeb-level have their futures mapped out for them.

They're not too much to solo (that one above is a bit more tricky but doable). They're just way too long for the rewards they give out. Still, find a buddy and it'll be the fastest way for rep drops.

Bat'sheva, I bought a mount off you. Wasn't the cheapest at the time, but I figured I'd donate to a fellow guildmate rather than a random pubbie.

Thanks for that. If I knew you were looking for one, I would've cut you a break. I'll find you later online to give you a partial refund.

Nah no worries. I wasn't looking for it specifically, just going through the mounts on the GTN less than 800k that I didn't have already.

I'd go so far as to say it's worth doing twice, once on each side. And if you have the possibility, I'd recommend starting with the Imperial side.

The two stories have almost nothing in common, and the Imperial version is much better. Republic Makeb is bland and forgettable.
