Yes they put in the confirmation window...but then they made it incredibly user unfriendly to buy in bulk. For a real "24/7 pvper" it would still be very inefficient to use the confirmation window even with the bulk buy option. Again, silly silly system. And you still havent offered any legitimate argument why you shouldnt be able to at least use the buy back window to fix this error should someone make it.

Because of the conversion rate having 1000 merc comms is equivalent to 4000 warzone comms. Can easily flush a lot of merc comms down the drain with this silly system (not going to do the math to see if 1800 is actually feasible but the point stands). Im not glad this has happened to other folks but its reassuring in a way and serves to confirm my original point that the system in general is silly and the execution and lack of failsafes involved in said system is embarrassing.

Right off the bat Im acknowledging my own stupidity in even letting this happen so anyone needing to point that out...it's already noted. So I had just finished a warzone on my 48 Op and decided to go trade in some warzone comms for mercenary comms. I go up to the vendor and start buying them up. I make quite a few transactions before i realize that instead of going merc>warzone Im doing the opposite and buying warzone comms with my merc comms. I panic and head to the buy back tab to correct my error. WHAT?! You can't. Once you've bought comms there is no way to undo it within the available in game mechanics. Leaving aside for a moment how stupid it is that there is even an OPTION to screw yourself over and buy warzone comms with merc comms (seriously, who would ever do that?). It is even more puzzling that you have NO WAY to fix the error. What is even the point of the buy back screen if something that actually takes a ton of time and effort to earn (merc comms) can be flushed down the toilet with no way to rectify the situation. Incredibly frustrating. I submitted a ticket asking to be reinstated to my former comm totals but since it was my mistake I doubt anything will come of it. /rant

Some say 1.2 some say 1.8. If its 1.5 on HM I don't know why it would be 1.8 on normal though...

Hi folks, I'm just starting to get into more regular hard mode runs and am planning on jumping in my guild's operation run this week (likely as an OT). I don't have a TON of tanking experience as Ive spent the majority of my time at 50 as a parakeet. So in that vein I was wondering what sort of rotations you guys generally use. Heat manaegement in tank spec (currently 30/0/11) is much more an issue here than w/ CP so any help would be great. Between Neural Dart, Sonic Missile, DFA, rocket punch, rail shot, incendiary missile, explosive dart and unload I think I've got a pretty good idea of the main damage dealing/taunt skill involved (along with support skills like Quell, Electro Dart, Carbonize, Energy Shield, etc) but am trying to put together a coherent rotation. Thanks for any input!

You really want to argue that a heal specced Op is anywhere near as a effective as a heal specced Sorc? Really? If you feel you can legitimately make that claim then you are playing a different game than the rest of us as a properly played heal spec Sorc blows the freaking doors off a properly played heal spec Op. Hell, even a well played heal spec Merc is a better overall healer than an Op. Sorry, that's just how it is at the moment. I'm sure it'll change at some point but arguing otherwise at this point just makes you look naive.

The BH PvP armor is by far the ugliest high end armor set in the game. Due to that I've prioritized my comm spending specifically to avoid replacing my chest/leg armor and turned off helm graphics. Besides, my fully modded orange chest/legs is just as good as Cent, the stat benefits of Champ arent worth me looking like a drunken hobo that strapped a spray painted a cardboard box onto herself. Can't wait for high end gear to have its base mods be extractable in 1.2.

This. If BW were to nerf anything about CP while leaving the Sorc hybrid unchanged then my $15 a month is walking out the door.

You mean it was easy for you when you were 3 levels over the level of the quest? Shocking!

I have a 50 Powertech and my Op is 44 now...I also played numerous classes past 30 in the beta and can say without reservation this is the most challenging solo fight I've been a part of. Once you understand the LOS mechanics and such its certainly doable but there is much less room for error than on other boss fights and combined with the buggy nature of it (and having to do it THREE times) its much more difficult than anything else I've done on class quests.

Easiest solution IMHO: A overlay of a number counting down over your ability when its on cooldown. If you have 29 seconds left on a cooldown the ability is greyed out with a big 29 over it (obviously counting down to zero). The current system is worse than the one prior which was worse than the one prior to that...

Correct.

Branching off from the other thread: This new cooldown graphic is horrific, even worse than the version it replaces which was worse than the version IT replaced. I can't fathom why Bioware wouldn't take the most logical approach here and offer an option to just have your individual cooldowns represented by a number on the ability (i.e. if I have 30 seconds left on a cooldown have a big number 30 over that ability that counts down to when it's available again). This is not a new and novel concept. Instead of trying progressively worse methods what's wrong with this straightforward and logical method?

Whoever does the UI for TOR needs to be let go post haste. This new change is just going from bad to worse IMO when a simple number overlay on the cooldown would be sufficient from individual abilities that aren't available. Why are they trying to reinvent the wheel here?

The Indignation set is excellent if you're looking for socketable heavy armor that shows some skin. Its lvl 20ish and original has stats for a Warrior but that is easily remedied with new mods. Heck, my 50 PT is full champion except chest and legs which are still Indignation (and which, when fully socketed is only slightly worse than Champ gear). I got mine off the gtn so I'm not sure of the original source.
