Does anyone else see this as a problem? I believe it would be quite an easy fix

So i bought one of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Razer gaming peripherals. I am a proud owner of 2 Green-Black Lightsaber Crystals for all of my characters. I also have the Yellow-Black from pre-ordering the game. My suggestion would be to allow higher level Green-Black crystals, similar to how the pre-order vendor now sells all levels of Yellow-Black crystals. I'd really like my exclusive Green-Black crystals to be viable at all levels.

Luck of the draw. Go out into the field and perhaps look for red ones yourself. Or try the "Bountiful" missions that usually yield each colour, or even buy a mission discovery

Both Merc and Powertech wear heavy armour, so will look similar. You also do not lose your flamethrower. Though a Powertech's one might be more powerful or have different uses

Well you can get defender medals. Every warzone has them. You could get The Assassin Medal (For 1 solo kill) You do have healing, though periodic. I used to be able to get the 2.5k healing medal by using a medpack or pvp heal consumable.

you cannot "Learn" schematics by reverse engineering something you find. Reverse engineering is meant for progressing schematics you already know, from things you can already make. Reverse engineering those items you've found will only provide you with a little amount of materials.

I have seen a lighsaber with an augment slot. He is our Guild's tank

we blow a 1 minute cooldown to become immune to effects for 3 seconds. We then cloak to get out of combat from a 3 minute cooldown.

You know that every assassin/shadow has an ability that "Removes all hostile removable effects and increases your chance to resist Force and Tech attacks by 100% for 3 seconds. Does not break Stealth" Every Smart assassin would use that right before going into stealth. Using that removes all DoTs, so i can now stealth in the next 3 seconds without fear of being broken from a DoT. Working as intended

You know, i'm really happy about this, and thanks to everyone for the quick and informative replies. I hope this is implemented very soon.

I really like the custom items. I went through a dozen Lightsabers until i found a hilt and sound that I liked. I found an awesome looking set that really looks nice and plain, The Saber Marshal set. Then I hit endgame. I started picking up my Columi and Pvp gear. The Champion and Columi gear have 56 Rating mods in them. The best I can make, or really obtain otherwise are 50. So I simply take out those mods and slot them in. Sure it'll cost me like 20k-30k each, but thats the price of looking the way I want right? Problem is. They are Missing the Item's Base mod. Armouring, and Hilts/Barrels So the Armour is always going to be better, and so are a few base stats, as well as the damage on a weapon. So i'm stuck. Not wearing the set gear is going to be a downside, regardless of how much money i'm willing to put in or what mods i have access to. I do not like the look of many of my set pieces. To me it doesn't look like something i'd see in the star wars universe. I have pieces I want to wear, but i'd be at a disadvantage for doing so. Yeah maybe later i'll be able to get equivalent level Armouring or Hilts/Barrels. Even then still at a disadvantage. Why? Set Bonuses. Now what?

So, Got enough alloy's to craft a Lightsaber with my Artifice Skill. The Lightsabers aren't that special, i'm here mostly to see the hilt model. So, I start crafting one of them with my 10000/10000 companion, to see how long it would take him. Then I decided to check my Artifice Efficient companion, see how long he would take. I cancel production, I get my artifacts, my power crystals, and my gemstones. I was not refunded my Crystal alloys. I simply wanted to see who would make it the fastest.

Clearly a spoiler. Though im glad i could figure that out

the buff you get on hoth is not from using an item

you do not need water containers
