It would be great if we could get 8 people in decent gear to run Eternity Vault Hard Mode this week - it's the highlighted HM so every boss drops both a 220 and 224 piece. That way everyone gets at least one piece and we can free for all on the earpieces.

Whatever. Ideally if we can get two tanks and two healers so I can DPS, I can make up for under geared DPS by bringing my sniper.

Isn't he more like the Yavin world boss? The Lance Squadron Command Unit? That one takes a full ops group of 24 to bring down.

If people execute properly, Worldbreaker Monolith wouldn't take more than maybe 8 people. The key is to DPS the adds that give him a shield down at the same time (any active add gives makes the boss immune, they become inactive at around 17% health, and they pop back up on a timer), otherwise you won't get enough uptime on the boss and he'll enrage. I ran it with a pug group of around 15 people and people were killing the adds super unevenly and it was still a cakewalk.

The Yavin Walker doesn't take that many people any more either. Level sync has made it a lot easier.

Haha guess I should read instructions before assembly. Also lol if that gets fixed before the bug that causes Depths of Manaan to be a coin flip on whether it counts or not.

I've been lucky and both my tactical and HM Manaan runs counted first try, but from what I read on the forums the key is to not kill him in the fire. Make sure you or one of your party gets the killing blow on him. It seems like for whatever reason for LvD they're tying flashpoint completion to killing the last boss rather than actually finishing the flashpoint.

Yeah it took me 3 times on HM and all 3 times were out of the fire. I already knew about it since the Flashpoint cheevos for Manaan have had the same issue since the FP was released.

Also a pox on DPS who queue as Tank for HM's.

I think I'm going to transfer a well-geared 65 character over to join you guys and hang out probably either tonight or tomorrow. I play on the Harbinger but my raid group hasn't been doing much lately and I've all but finished the DvL stuff there (minus Ch.16 and the Rakghoul infection thing of course) so I'm getting bored. Not sure why I only thought of this now, but better late than never I suppose.

So, i have no idea why I care so much, but I have to ask about the vette romance quests and stuff. I slipped and hit the wrong button when she was trying to tell me about being jealous after the quest with her old crew, did that close off romance entirely? I accidentally told her to mind her own business instead of getting her to talk it out, and now I;m pissed because it looks like its over now. Stupid game making me care about NPCs.

Did you finish the story? If not, you've probably still got a chance. Just don't flirt with Jaesa (who's the better choice anyway, who wants a spunky Twilek instead of a murderous psychopath who will cut out people's hearts and cover them in glitter for you).

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

I haven't played in a couple months because my PC broke. My goals last time I was playing were to save up for the stupid loving revan reborn greaves that cost way too much money. What's happened in between, and are there any cool goon ways to get space money right now? I want one of those claymore sabers too, but I only have like 15 or so mil

Besides playing the market your best shot at earning money is grinding heroics in full groups.

Very dumb. Unless you REALLY want an Ewok companion Treek is no longer worth the money. She used to be the poo poo because she was a tank/healer hybrid who dominated the other companions. Now she's just like everyone else.

(Not to mention you could have bought her for credits anyway).

On the other hand it's a companion you can be reasonably sure of that they won't kill off in future episodes!

This is true - if you're doing crafting seriously, Treek or HK-51 are the two companions you want to take to 50 influence for crafting. You don't lose them when you start KOTFE unlike every other companion, and you won't lose them like the poor bastard who raised Scorpio to 50

I guess another nice thing about Treek is you can pay 400 cartel coins to unlock her on your legacy, so you have an extra companion at level 10 for crafting

The Agent story is most people's favourite, I think. I really liked the Consular a lot, but that one is divisive; a lot of people found it boring.

Consular was kind of hit and miss, the first half is bizzarely disconnected from the rest, and it's pretty low key but I thought it was all right

I have yet to play through consular, knight, and warrior but that being said I've found agent and inquisitor to be the most entertaining. Agent for obvious reasons and inquisitor because it feels like you accomplish some things without them actually hampering the overall game. That would be unlike the smuggler story where you are supposedly rich as gently caress now but in reality you are still playing errand boy for Saresh and her idiocy.

Late last night I was messing around trying different outfits on a new level 1 character, ultimately decided to delete and reroll him...and only later realized I had left a full Triumphant Predator armor set, still in boxes, in the deleted character's inventory, like an idiot. That set is worth many millions, if you can even find it. The GTN on my server didn't even have many pieces listed.

I put in a support ticket, begging for help basically, and woke up first thing this morning to an email saying they restored the character for me, inventory intact. It had a message saying "hey, mistakes happen, it's no problem."

It's been said before: A+ customer service in this game.
