So I've gotten all but one part, the False Emperor is the last I have to do. Can I do that on HM because finding a SM group has been pretty impossible so far.

Always something with the hoods. If only most helmets weren't ugly alone!

Looks like it's time for a new outfit.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. :3

Thank you.

They need to toggle it back on then.

It also seems it's not just that model. In fact, any model that isn't a circlet or revan mask is broken currently as far as light armor goes.

So I logged in today, and my assassin who was wearing the helmet with the battlemind's model and while the hood worked with it yesterday, it no longer does anymore. The only other mask I can really use the is revan one, which I don't particularly fancy using.

Server balance concerns or not, in factioned games, perfect balance is grasping for straws. The fact is, people who put months of work into characters end up on derpy servers that aren't where their friends are. Friends are what make MMOs. And believe it or not, there are people that prefer smaller servers. Not everyone is going to flock to Populated-Server-1 because it's full. Not to mention any good auctioneer will know how to survive in a dead market. Trust me, I've been there. (Also, they could easily fix in in a manner CoX did by making AHs universal across all servers since we have a list of about the same size.) All it takes is patience. Doesn't mean it won't happen. So that's a moot point with me. I've leveled all classes to 50 and played them enough. I cannot say it thrills me that I'm doing it again because I don't want to be on The Bastion when most of my friends are elsewhere. Not opening up transfers won't fix population issues either. Either people will cave and just start anew on a new server where their friends are or they will leave. It's plain as that. The vehement defense of no transfers sounds like it's coming from someone who plays MMOs solo a lot. I'm sorry.

When we say undergeared, we aren't saying oranges or even tionese/recruit (except for Tanking Capable classes who queue as tank when they are DPS). It's people who hop in there with greens, no relics, empty moddable gear. These things happen. No good player enters an HM with three 'semi-modded' pieces. I'm sorry.

Gear already has an ilevel. And when you switch mods in and out, it changes with them. I.E. 140, 124, 136.

You've obviously never healed a Pyro PT in DPS recurit gear queued as a tank in a T2 HM.

Not only that, he gives the distinct impression it's everyone else's fault if this fresh 50 doesn't gear up. I have 4 50s. Every time I hit 50 o a new toon, the first thing I do is use all my comms to get mods from vendors and stick them in my gear and queue up for normals since the gear they drop is still decent. I have the humility and the respect for other players to not rush straight into HMs, let alone T2 HMs and the operations. Why should I rest my success betting on other people's efforts to get me there?

But carrying is only possible to a point. How can you agree to tanks in recruit DPS gear queuing for Operations and HM FPs? I don't care how good they are, gear does matter.

Next time I have a tank with 11k health try and tank HM LI for me, I'll let him know he's having fun and I don't mind. And yes, that actually has happened. I don't know how he had any fun, though. Y'know, due to the fact he couldn't stay alive with full campaign IA Healer and our DPS sorc both trying to keep him alive. That's an odd idea of fun. Also, I like how people get upset at the prospective of having a tool that matched people's gear level. What's wrong with an all fresh 50 group? You can all learn together and benefit each other. You're only happy when you are being carried? It seems like a very strange standpoint. I love helping people through content, but there's a point if you're tanking with under 14k health or dint bother to mod your gear at 50.
