Hope im not late to the party. Personally, many of the systems and ideas presented are fantastic sounding. Many of which reminded me of a simple thought collection project i started a few years ago when SWTOR started slipping into being a more single player focused game(looking at you Alliance flashpoints/SoR). Now granted, what ive worked up is quite frankly: a)mainly just thoughts and ideas and b) very much an early, if not pre starting development stage of concept, but if anyone is interested in looking it over here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X9c1mYF7a-_HnqSDdRMB2xaEctDjwbCXxo2yzCvPIu4/edit?usp=sharing. For the record, i approached this from the perspective of it being in the original cannon, so there was no thought of it being set in the new cannon. While i made this just for fun and as a way to dream, the few people that i showed it too stated that there is promise. "Will it ever be used?", I highly doubt it, but its just a neat little fun exercise to dream about what could be. Also, i turned comments on so be free to nit-pick to your hearts content.

I find it funny that most of the time i use GF, i always run into people who either a)think they are the greatest player(s) and feel they should tell you how to do your job and yet they are absolute crap or b)they are tanks and they suffer from what i call "tank immortality" syndrome where they feel that since there is a healer they can agro everything in sight and then berates everyone else for not "keeping up with him" and cause the entire team to wipe on about a 20npc mobs, i literally had someone say that to me once. I also find it funny that the people who fall into group a, the moment you try to helpfully correct them, they just go into a blind rage and then try to get you kicked.

Really, the main thing that worries me is the RNG nature of the command packs. This game has become so much of an RNG "platform" for lack of a better term, that personally, im looking forward to the new crafting options we will be getting as well as the new direct purchases coming to the CM. Now i am really skeptical at the fact they are removing expertise since im a heavy pvper, though it is off set by them telling us they are removing it and making no such mention and then facing the backlash, looking at you planetary com vendors. Granted we wont really know how this will all play out until 5.0 drops, so the only things we can do is hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

well the biggest issue is that alot of the class quest rewards like the Renegade Interceptor may no longer obtainable because of how BW implemented the new quest rewards for all quests. I say that because I just finished leveling a few toons and when i was supposed to get my orange quality weapon at the end of chapter 1 i never got them. So it could just be personal or it could be game wide but really, BW just screwed a lot of things up with 4.0.

Sorry to hear your leaving us but quite honestly I understand. Ive got half a mind to quit right now because after chapter 16, there really is nothing to do. I think that one of the things that could save this game is if they brought in a lot of the sandbox elements there were in SWG Pre-NGE but granted they probably cant because the engine they are using which would either a) need to be replaced or b)need a full overhaul. I love Star Wars. I loved this game when i first started playing it. But the fact of the matter is, its become nothing but another cash cow essentially. The first 9 chapters of KOTFE were amazing, they were some of the best moments ive had in the game since the Revan fight. Heck i even liked the nostalgic factor of how they incorporated the old KOTOR style conversations with NPCs for the alliance alerts. But then it just became a bore fest except in a few instances one such being chapter 14 Mandalor's Revenge. I hope to see you sometime in game maybe at the point of which this game has become great again. All we can do is try to get the developer's to actually listen to us, but its their game, they can either make it great or continue to see it as nothing but a cash grab. Take care man and May the force be with you.

Battlemaster doesnt come with the alliance crates. What does come from the alliance crates are the dreadguard, arkanian, underworld, yavin, and resurrected armor sets. I have no idea why they excluded Dread Forged and the Revanite armors, possibly they are going to do to them what they did to the old rakata and war hero armors and make a version of them craftable but at higher levels

Believe what you will, its possible though its very rare and it requires an in-depth knowledge of the inner mechanics of what ever classes your going against. It also helped that the healer who was with them was kinda of inept, and most of the others were glass cannons.

Hey, its doable for non operatives but it is only feasible on a few classes such as guardian/jugg and vanguard/pt

The satisfaction of playing a different style with a spec that actually has a bit of a learning curve. Honestly i give more props to people who try to play specs that actually take a considerable amount of skill to try and make them viable. Such would be the annihilation spec for marauders and the pyrotech/innovative ordnance spec for powertechs/mercenaries if you can find a way to solve the heat problem. Because honestly those are the folks who deserve the real recognition in pvp because it is not easy to try and make those specs viable in pvp in its current state. Pre 3.0 annihilation maras were wrecking machines, but now since they screwed the whole thing up with the skill revamp in 3.0 and has just made it extremely difficult to get it to be viable. And do not get me started on IO, that spec ever since i started playing has had heat issues, pre 3.0 pyrotech, its pt version, not a lot of problems with resource management because of the 'spam rail shot' rotation, but they moved that over to advance prototype. So thats the reason why you should try something other than sorcs

I am really not a sensitive person, its just when you deal with the same crap for so long you just have to say enough is enough and really i should have called quits a long time ago, but i didnt. I didnt call quits because i foolishly held out hope that the devs might actually wise up and fix the issues plaguing pvp. But that was nothing but misguided wishing. So i can more than take the heat, hell i can dish it out 10 times over. Im just sick of this, as one person actually stated "mini-game" the devs have in place of pvp. Sorry for actually giving a care about it.

After PvPing in this game for over 4 years ive seen just about everything you can see in this game's PvP. From poor matchmaking to tryhards who have to do just that to support their arrogant egotistical nature. But now, its just come to the point where this game losses another veteran pvp player. In fact this game's PvP was almost the only thing that kept me in it, but these last few weeks just show not only how toxic alot of the community has become, but also just reinforces the belief that BW just doesnt care about us anymore. Before you say im just a little butt hurt nerd, im not. Ive played in PvP as just about every single class, i know what their good at, what their not good at, and most things on how to counter them. And to some they might say i need to lighten up, but i cant because I am a firm believer in that PvP should be a forum for honorable combat among players and that what we have right now is just a shameful display. So unless BW performs some serious magic and turn this game's PvP into something that is actually worth playing, consider probably one of a few non-stealther players to have gone up in 1v6 fights and win to be done and staying away from this PvP. And unless you have something constructive to say, leave it out. This PvP community is toxic enough already

The anhillator set is a completely different armor set

BW stated that the reason they removed the fleet was due to the gear they provided didn't have the stats that the game was going to be using from then on, but the thing is, BW never informed players before 4.0 dropped about the removal of the vendors, nor did the patch notes tell you. Also it's not there at the lvl 8 vendor all that contains are those low level armors they put in, along with the old class specific armor

The chest guard used to be obtainable from the Corellia vendor but the vendors were removed in 4.0. the only version that remains is the artifact version

I was wondering if anyone had either of these chest guards(they look identical) that they would be willing to sell to a heavy juggernaut player. If you do have one that you would like to sell please pm me on the website with price and what server your on so that way any details can be worked out.
