I'm back after a very very long hiatus and I'm as addicted to this game as when it first came out. Some of this may have to do with the fact that I resubbed during a massive XP boost and I'm so over leveled my head is spinning, but poo poo this game can be fun.

Yeah I'm about 7 levels ahead right now doing absolutely nothing but class and planetary missions. I'm a bit worried that after the XP goes back to normal I'll quickly lose the level advantage and stop enjoying myself. Combat in this game is such a slog I'm avoiding it as much as humanly possible.

Also I've finally found an upside to having wasted £100 on the CE! My security key's given me around 4k free cartel points, so I'm just hoovering up those legacy XP bonuses like nobody's business. P2W is my kind of people.

So one of the abilities on my mercenary references something called Incendiary Missles, and wikis I've looked at have said as Mercenary I should have this. I've looked everywhere and cannot for the life of me find this ability.

Incendiary Missile is an ability for the Innovative Ordinance spec, is that what you're running?

Nope. Didn't even occur to me that it could be for another spec. Guides all just said 'mercenary'. Thanks for clearing that up.

Level 1-65 through PVP trip report: Currently level 33 and PVP with low level people is still terrible.

- Every turret/control point/door has a repulsive field, forcing anyone to fight as far away from them as possible

- The most important aspect of any match is to chase that one dude and get that one kill

- Marked healers are really cool to look at. You should never attempt to kill them as then you couldn't look at them anymore

- Huttball has clear and precise rules where you must bring the ball to the your team's side and then hand it over to an enemy. That's just polite. Also, stand on every ledge so that Juggs can conveniently leap to you.

- Never, ever, give MVP to your healer. Even though he carried you through that game

I actually almost never vote the healer MVP. A) He's going to get votes anyway and B) big numbers in healing is nice, but I'll give my vote to the guy who came running when a node needed help, or even called out for help, etc.

So I had a weird night last night. I was playing my Sorc and decided that, since I want to heal when I hit endgame with him, I should try and learn the spec as I go instead of at 65, so I respeced from Lightning to Corruption.

Then, I decided that since I've been having trouble finding other goons in-game, I might as well join the chat channel as surely that would make it easy. I join the channel and set my chat window to speak in that channel, but before I can introduce myself, I come out of my PVP queue into a match. The entire game, I'm yelling out enemy attacks to my team, since having one healer defend a turret probably isn't a smart strategy, only what I don't realize until the end of the game is that I was typing it all into the goon chat and not into the PVP chat at all and no one saw it. Then, in the hubbub, I accidentally spill liquid onto my keyboard and now every time I press spacebar, it just types an 's' (once I got out the match I took care of it and we're working just fine now).

Anyway, long story short we won the match in a landslide as we took control of all three turrets in the first minute or so of the match and maintained control for the entire match.

Nah, I ended up exiting out of the game once the match ended because I was freaking out a little bit due to the keyboard thing. Hopefully I'll be on again the next couple of days so I can actually get on the chat properly and not just spamming the feed with "2 inc west!" and poo poo.

You get a tauntaun from doing Oricon mission chain up to and including Dread Fortress. Need legendary standing with Oricon I think. It's good money doing the weekly there, it's sort of fast if you team up with someone. Have to do all the dailies as story missions first, it's smoother when you do them as dailies.

You can farm a Hoth tauntaun in a couple of hours. Faster if you do it on the weekend (there are usually more Hoth instances then so you can keep switching) and even faster if you have multiple characters.

Also if you have the money you can just buy one from the NPC.

So I decided I want to play a JK guardian going forward. I have a 50 Sentinel but don't really like the play style. Is there anything cool enough in Hutt Cartel and Revan to justify playing through the story or just use the free 60?

I wouldn't be starting from scratch I have a 30 guardian. I enjoyed the original JK story quite a bit.

Unless you've already played through the class story in question I would vote for starting with the older content. The original story aspect of this game is incredible and deeper than any other game I've played. Certainly any other MMORPG.

No, but if you transfer one character your whole legacy transfers with them. There are a few nitty gritty hangups, like legacy bank unlocks don't transfer unless you paid hutt bucks for them, but it will copy over all your unlocked decorations, achievements, etc.

While I enjoyed it, I admit is pretty bland and vanilla at times, especially if you played it light side.

I think the stories are best if you play either some shade of gray or cross faction, ie light side for Sith characters.
