If you're beating someone that badly there's more than a gear difference. First a non-Merc, non-stealth shouldn't be going after an occupied node solo. Second either he was bad about his DCD usage or was dumb enough to 1-on-1 with them on CD.

Just to update you on this, I slaughtered a Guardian one on one, and a Commando who came right after him tonight. Commando even threw up his reflect shield (but not his energy shield and I'm assuming Kolto overload was on cooldown), but still. :D

Commando was kind enough to fight me a bit and not call for help, then I killed him and leisurely planted the bomb in Voidstar.

Now, in fairness, JC pubs are really, really bad in general at PvP (Aside from a few really, really good premades)

Man even though they raised bolster, once you're geared in 246/248 PVP is a beast. I was defending a node in civil war, and a Marauder started running towards me. Shouted that I might need help but not yet... Backstab from stealth, Volatile Substance, Veiled Strike, crippling strike, few lacerates and backstab coming off cooldown and "Never mind". I was using the Jarring Strike utility so the first few GCDs be was on the ground.

Definitely not used to easily killing people 1 on 1. I feel bad for PvP only players. :(

I haven't really played much since the recent updates, but marauders and sentinels were more or less fodder for operatives just before (and after) Fallen Empire hit by the way the class is built. They're meant to be able to initiate and fall apart if they can't.

HebrewMagic AKA Sakarian



Turbl AKA Possums


Moreau AKA Glabus

Medullah's right, you guys need to put some :effort: in but he also wants me to give you all until at least 8th May for this now.

So let's try and kill Tyth at 8pm EDT Sunday. New raid boss, drops 242 gear to roll on, slim chance at a rare weapon!

It's also not a full raid, just a few trash clears and a simple boss fight rather than a full, complicated operation. It'll be 1am here but I can probably make it and half-arsed tank Tyth.

I'm on lockout for Tyth

Why not do one of the classics, like Dread Palace or Terror from Beyond?

Because it's the new boss, and I'm sure people want to see it. Especially returning players who have seen the old raids a billion times.

We'll see how much time we have and who shows up.

Also because people need it for the Iokath continuation and being a shorter, relatively easy boss it's a nice introductory 'raid' for people to fit the contest theme. Speaking of which if people do come along and parse it that'll count as their second entry to the contest!

We could try Tyth hardmode I guess. The mechanics are pretty much the same except for a tank swap.

We can see, if we're able to knock SM out easily.

We could also potentially try The Eyeless after - it's Rakghoul week.

So I'm doing macrobinocular missions to switch things up. I did the Coruscant mission and am now on Taris, but instead of the macrobinocular symbol on my map, I just have a general area to search. Does the symbol pop up when I get close, or do I wander around until i see my option to use the macrobinoculars ungrey on my action bar?

Nope just a general area. Honestly just follow the Dulfy guide to find the locations - it's fun to explore for about 10 minutes but gets old quick.

Medullah's having internet woes and there are only a handful of us on with 70s ready for tonight so the Tyth run is on hold for the moment. Might start later if there enough people around but I'll probably be in bed.

No, true translation - Once you've done the same planetary quests a few times you don't want to do them again.

I mean, the cool thing is, you can still do them if you really want to. Over and over again.

like seriously, all the planetary quests and even a lot of the exploration quests are cool and good to go through once (and maybe even twice for different resolutions/class dialogue) but i don't think it's a controversial opinion that 100%ing every quest on Coruscant for the fourth time isn't the slightest bit fun
