Greetings, here is a little bit of info about myself. I have 4 Level 52-55 Imperial Characters (Sith Assassin, Powertech, Operative, and Sith Juggernaut) and a Jedi Shadow. I mostly played solo and just haven't bothered to find a guild right now. Also I primarily play the Imperial side though I also want to work toward having a level 55 Jedi Shadow out of fear of Bioware creating more quests like the HK-51 Quest where you need a character of a certain level on BOTH sides, despite already HAVING UNLOCKED HK-51 and the fact all 5 of my characters HAVE an HK-51 and a Treek. Finally I want to primarily just play my Sith Assassin and my Jedi Shadow on major quests. My primary interest is simply doing Heroic 2 and Heroic 4 quests with the company of a fellow guild with my Sith Assassin and my Jedi Shadow and PvE events. I don't wish to create other characters at this time. I am saving my server slots for an Epic Class or a new Class that will probably be released in some kind of future expansion. Are there any Guilds you would suggest I petition to join that actually have two guilds on both Republic and Imperial Sides?

I already unlocked the HK-51 companion, but I really don't enjoy playing republic side. Coruscant is too crowded and camped and they have more players than mobs and you can't get anything or any quests done there hardly, I don't enjoy the story lines, Jedi won't shoot lightning at people and use the force to strangle their victims, Emperor Palpatine and General Grievous are just way cooler than Yoda and Obi Wan even though Count Dooku is a dork who was better beating up Magneto in Lord of the Rings, and it's just no fun being the good guy!!! Not to mention I am on a limited budget and can't afford to outfit 8 characters and buy them all Treeks and cool speeders and such. But I am worried about not being to able to complete certain future quests that might get added to the game. Should I just go ahead with my plans to cut my losses and delete my republic characters and not worry about it or should I just grind and grin and bear and stomach and bite my tongue getting just one republic character to level 55?

Ok, granted maybe more than 5 instances is too excessive and if Double XP is actually making these zones too crowded (Not certain, I;ve seen Coruscant and Drommund Kas be too crowded when it's not Double XP weekend!) but I am sure 1 or 2 more with like 80 -100 people isn't too bad at least during Double XP weekend if research is done and proves that Double XP weekend IS causing this. People being in different instances, it's a problem already anyway, even now, you can simply switch over and play there until the timer runs out until you switch. Yes, there is a glitch where the mob target is messed up when you switch, but that can be fixed later. The timer itself could be reduced or eliminated as well. Anyways that doesn't have to be the only solution out there, I am just trying to throw something out. Because the real problem is that no player should have to drum their fingers for hours to beat a quest that should be completed in like 30 minutes tops because the game is just too crowded and it's hard to get in and get done. This is something the Development team and other officials need to look into. I don't mind a brief wait to where it takes 45 minutes to complete a quest instead of 20-30 minutes but anything like I have seen is unacceptable and it needs to be looked at. I could group, I think most people are cool enough to team with and social points are good. But I typically don't like, too. I don't want Darkside points on a character I wanted Lightside points or vice versa or to lose companion affection because somebody else wanted to make a different conversation choice than I wanted to make. So I refrain from grouping unless it's a Flashpoint or a world Boss or something.

I was trying to do a mission on Coruscant where you go into this room near the world boss to destroy like 7 crates, but the room had like 20 players in there and no crates or mobs to kill were there to be found, plus I got players trying to steal my kills by jumping into fights I already started which is leeching XP and credits from me. I engage mobs to clear them so I can get a glowy and other players run up from nowhere and click on it first forcing me to wait 45 minutes for the damn thing to respawn and then I have to try and hurry and click it before somebody else does. I've tried switching instances but even the other instance I went to had the same problem. There's just too many people playing in the lower level zones! 150-245 players on 3 instances is just too crowded and makes things too difficult to get done. Something should be done to make things better for the whole player base. One suggestion I have is to offer like 5-10 World Instances for Tython, Ord Mantell, Coruscant, Korriban, Hutta, and Dromund Kas and let word of mouth tell players who want to team to go to instance 1 or 2. Maybe revamp the zones in the far, far future to do away with a few missions and just have instances.

I love this game, but Tython, Ord Mantell, and Coruscant as well as Korriban, Hutta, and Dromund Kas are simply too crowded!!! I can't no quests done there because they have 300 players in each of the only 2 instances on each planet!!! AND THEY ARE ALL DOING THE SAME QUESTS!!!! I was trying to do one quest on Coruscant where you gotta destroy like 7 boxes and guess what!? 10 players in the room and NO GLOWIES to grab. Would it kill you people to open up 5-10 of each instances on each planet so the player base can get quests done and just have the players who want to team simply go to instance 1 or 2?

I have 6 characters, though I am beginning to think it's a mistake. With the level increase and the fact that I believe more level increases will come, I am thinking about knocking it down to 5 characters and cutting my losses. I would settle for just one Sith Juggernaught, Sith Assassin, Powertech, and Imperial Operative for a total of 4, but we needed a character on the Republic side to complete HK-51 and I worry other quests will be patched in that require a character on both sides so I rolled a Vanguard and I am trying to get him to level 55 asap. :'(

I am looking to upgrade HK-51 soon, but I see he has AIM/endurance mods and Cunning/End, but he is also a Sniper and I think Snipers need Cunning/End mods. Should I just focus on getting all AIM/Endurance Mods and Armoring? Should I just get him all Cunning/End Mods and Armoring? Or Should I buy him AIM/Endurance Armoring and Barrels and then put Cunning/End/power Mods in his OJ Droid Armor? Should I leave him alone? How do you guys upgrade HK-51's Droid Armor?

Still waiting on an Ughnaught Sith Warrior and a Duros Imperial Agent.

I got the Gamorrean Battle Axe on my Sith Juggernaught and I wish it was adaptable. :'( Oh well, at least it makes cool lightsaber noises, especially when I go to kill people with it in the cut scenes and it looks like an awesome yellow boomerang when I throw it at the mobs to get them to attack me. :'( Anyways, I hope they do sell these kind of weapons. I'd love a single blade lightsaber on my assassin that will allow me to use all of my abilities.

I too, am serious about playing an Ugnaught,a Jawa, and a Duros. Maybe even create another companion quest to unlocka Duros companion. They are my favorite alien race besides the Jawas, the Selonians and the Drell.

Being a Hutt would also rock!

I am crying because I really want to play a Duros Mercenary. I also want to play an Ugnaught Sith Juggernaught and a Jawa Sith Sorcerer. Why not allow a Gamorrean Imperial Agent?

Well, since I play mostly play Imperial and I roll dark side, I suspect most of my companions will be here complaining about what a piece of crap I am except SCORPIO who seems to love everything I do. Makes sense to think since I seem to always lose affection from companions and never seem to gain. Oh well, at least HK-51 is happy because I let him kill alot. :'(

Yeah, I suppose they should get the mail system fixed. I hit 50 tonight and didn't get my Tionese Gear quest and Flashpoint group finder thingy quest. Oh well, at least it will be there when I get back, I hope. :'(

I have a trooper companion (A vanguard) as well. Yes I use Elara the most once I got her on Taris, though I used HK-51 before I unlocked her. Anyways, I don't mind losing her for a bit, either. As long as I get Elara back. If I do hurt for a healer. I just use the Ships Droid. Though he stinks, at least he can heal. :'(
