More funny because the SI joins the Dark Council as a result of the fight, while the SW just gets a "go gently caress things up" card as a result.

Now that Operatives have exfiltrate time to travel to node is non existant.

Exfiltrate still uses a GCD so standing 30m away will make an Op spend at least 3 seconds activating Exfiltrate. Against a good Op that gives you 1-2 GCDs to react which is all you should need. The exception is PT who should stand right on the node if you have Shoulder Cannon up. Remember don't use your CC break on a sap (you should never break a sap period unless white barred anyways) unless the Op or Sin actually starts capping and you won't make it in time.

Then once that's done where a lot of node guards mess up is trying to 1-on-1 a capper instead of calling for help and using delaying tactics.

Also when I don't trust our node guard I always keep them as my focus target so I can immediately see the sap debuff and know they need help.

When I'm involved, there is no difference between "1-on-1" and "delaying tactics". :)

Shoulder cannon be used while sapped? I know it can be used while stunned, didn't know sap counted as a stun for that. Nice.

You'll be pleased to know that the general consensus was that they do and that the Warrior has literally just left when the Inquisitor comes in and interrupts Thanaton's appeal to the council that he starts after Baras is no longer in the way by pretending to be the voice of the Emperor.

It's even better since according to the entirely useless Legacy Family Tree, my Warrior and Inquisitor are brothers.

This makes me curious since I stopped playing my Juggernaut after finishing the class story: how do they get around the whole Emperor's Wrath thing, considering the Empire stops acknowledging the Emperor as their overlord at the end of Makeb?

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Why is it that I did a couple random flashpoints including one for the daily reward(all FPs selected) and I didn't get any conquest points for it?

I've always thought about it that way. I mean, they don't hold meetings often, right? Especially in a such a time of war with Corellia and all.

Actually, thinking about it, it would pretty much have to be. With what Mercurious was saying, Thanaton is there. But before that, he's physically at Corellia with the Inquisitor.

So it would go something like this

Inquisitor on Corellia > Thanaton flees back to Korriban.
Warrior on Corellia > Warrior and Vowrawn return to Korriban.
Inquisitor follows Thanaton back to Korriban and you could joke that they walk past the Warrior on their way out.

You can only earn points if you are eligible for the daily reward (i.e. one a day) but as it's repeatable it won't flag as complete in the conquest pane. You should have received the points for that daily reward one though.

My blade is unBENDING!

So I'm not eligible for any of those things apparently, because while the thing says I'm eligible for the daily reward, there is no actual reward showing. This is on all my characters.

Another thing: it used to be that if my companion popped out (when exiting a mount) he/she would activate my class buff but that is no longer the case.

This is bugged at the moment. You can't get daily rewards from group finder. Group PvE content is basically a no-go area until 4.3 in a few months.

It's gotta be only for a few flashpoints because I did it a couple times and got credit for it for conquest. Don't think it the daily rewards but eh

It seems to only be ok when there's a specific FP listed in conquest, not when it's the generic "run group finder - any FP".

I agree with this...

Kind of a tangent, but I felt like this more than anything else killed Elder Scrolls Online for me. Character customization sucks in that game. On the surface it seems like you get a ton of options, but you get a ton of extremely similar options. You get a dizzying number of sliders in character creation that just churn out weak variations on the same weird pinched face, and a dizzying number of pieces of armor that look pretty much identical. I saw later they added a "costume" slot where you can put on a pre-built outfit, but where's the fun in that?

This is an area where SWTOR really shines. You can make some really crazy-looking characters and outfits in this game. It never gets old!

Yeah, support just refunded the mats I lost when I tried to disassemble half a stack of components using the slider instead of just splitting the stack up first. That one did take them awhile (I think it happened a month or so ago), but it was a pretty minor issue that I wasn't expecting a response on to begin with, I was just making sure they knew about the bug, so the fact that they eventually mailed me my materials back was cool.
