Question for you: When you say "pieces", what is considered as a piece, mod, enhancements, armor, implants? Or do some of them count more than once, since they have 2 relevant attributes? The code says, Power 12pcs, Surge 2pcs, Crit 0pcs, Alacrity 8pcs for a total of 22pcs. No matter how I count my gear, I can't make them add up to 22. Am I not looking at it correctly? Thanks for the writeup!

Here's a good post from the sniper forum about crit and power. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=632491

Having a debuff or punishment system wouldn't work. The "leavers" will end up staying to avoid penalization, but they'd probably just semi-afk until the game is over. So, do you want a bunch of non-contributors or a bunch of backfill? I say just let them leave and move on.

Another unscheduled DT!

I'm wondering if Bioware should consider a maintenance schedule similar to EVE Online. Their site is offline everyday for 1 hour. Now they have it down to 30mins everyday. If SWTOR did this too, that would give them 7hrs of maintenance per week - 3 hrs more than scheduled. Perhaps this may reduce some of the unscheduled maintenances that really tends to aggro paying subscribers. Also, shorter DT's would be perceived as less intrusive than longer ones. Since EVE is predominantly European, their DT is between UTC 0300 to UTC 0400. There must be a way for BW to find out when the least populated times are for our servers? Also, I'm not a MMO expert by any means, but maybe it's a good idea not to do an unscheduled DT unless it's really, really necessary? Anyway, just a thought. I'l still keep playing the game, unless I get really aggro'd.

I'm running 5/31/5 which seems to be working better for me after 1.3. Not as much burst as 2/31/8, but a bit more survivable and with respectable DPS.. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200McZGrbRzGMbtzZf.2

There doesn't seem to be any raids that drop L27 mods. So I'm guessing you ripped out L26 mods and RE'd them?

Hey Shinarika, your vids are fantastic. Could you tell me where you can get Q27 armoring mods for the sash and bracers?
