It´s probably just bad luck. I´ve never heard of people having problems with IP on swtor.

So, today i spent like 11000 CC and got a bunch of stuff, only to get disconnected and find that all my newly bough items had vanished from my cargo hold and inventory. Only the companion gifts that were left in the pack explorer were spared. Also i bough a few items from the GTN, the mail arrives, but with no attachments, no items, nothing. Harbinger server. Lots of people seem to be having the same issues. I openned a ticket but so far, no responses.

I lost 11000 CC worth of items today. They vanished from my inventory and cargo hold. Only the stuff from the pack explorer were spared, just some comp gifts. This is getting ridiculous indeed.

Lol Bioware did very few things right in this game, and Consulars ain´t one of them, IMO.

Why people always think that EVERY MMO (including a space based one, go figure) SHOULD have a "mage type" is just beyond me. Lets just take off their lightsabers, replace them with staves or spellbooks and stripe them of their jedi / sith status. Oh, and keep feeding them those hideous dresses while at it...

First, PvP is unbalanced as it is. Have you even read the part where i said i would be happy with a new melee skill, even if said skill had less damage than double strike? Would THAT be OP in any way? Believe me, there are many people who feel the same way. It´s not "my fun" that is at stake here. And like i said, those melee skils could have lower damage than auto-atack. I don´t give a damn. I just despise playing a jedi that neglects his lightsaber so much as the sage does. Like i said ( and some others, as well), if i wanted to play other class, i´d just play it. As for the legacy thing: this game needs MMO features. I don´t need a feature where i can play with a dozen of alts just to say: "Hey, thats my cousin, he´s a smugler. Since i´m a jedi, maybe he can use the force." BW, it seems, can´t take a hint...

First of all: ALL jedi are "iconic", and if BW has forgotten this just to fill in a so called " MMO role", well im sorry but thats a huge mistake right there. What "major changes" are you talking about? Do you really think that adding a couple more melee skills would make the sage a "melee and ranged class"? We´re not talking about armor or anything. We just want a couple more melee skills to swing our lightsabers, for fun. We don´t want, nor need anything ubber strong. Hell, make them weaker than double strike and i´m all for it. We just need something diferent.

Whenever i feel like doing any pvp, i just log into Jedi Academy 2. nothing like using your skill with a lightsaber.

Your last line is enough for me to think otherwise. A jedi, who doesn´t use his lightsaber (deflecting blaster shots doesnt count) is a little less fun to play, IMO. But that´s just me. The point is, i DON´T wan´t to be a melee class. I just would like a couple more melee skills, for the sake of fun. Thats all. No talent tree changes, no changes to armor, nothing. Just a couple more melee skills, to get rid of the "glowing stat stick" feeling. I don´t even care how much damage these skills would deal. Heck, give me 2 skills with half the damage double strike does, and im all for it.

Here´s your problem, you think im asking for an ubber change to sage role. I dont care a dime about armor. BW could give me silk paper to wear (just make it less ridiculous than our current gear, BW. Please?) i wouldn´t give a damm. I don´t really want sages to be "effective" at melee. I just want to have a couple more melee skills to swing my saber for the sake of fun. Fun. You know what it is, right? BTW, like in the other thread, this is my last response to you since my thoughts are: Wouldn´t hurt to have a couple more melee skills for the sage. Wouldn´t make, nor break the role for what it was designed. And yours are, correct me if i´m wrong (still, i won´t reply anymore, though): BW should NOT implement a couple more melee skills for the sages, because this would lead to a role change for the class. So, lets agree that we cannot agree on this matter, and just move on.

Lol thats pretty much i´ve been doing. I´d like some variation though. Would it hurt so much if BW gave sages one skill or two?

The game shares some features with WoW, no question about it. But you see, the problem is deeper than that. BW went for the old "holy trinity" design for the game. Some people don´t have a problem with it, and i don´t blame them. But TOR would be much, much better without the holy trinity (tank, healer, dps). Now people say: don´t like the class, reroll. Don´t like the game, quit. Now, i like the sage, so i play it. But thing is, i play to have fun, so in many, many ocasions i engage in melee combat with my sage, just because i WANT my fun. So i go into the fray, swinging my lightsaber AND using my force attacks. And many times, peole say: you´re gimping our dps / heal. I know they´re right, and i know im kinda hurting the group im in. Then i switch back to range dps /heal, and i realize im not having as much fun. I´m just looking at people´s health bars and playing wack-a-mole with it. Thats the problem with the holy trinity: you´re stuck with ONE role, and thats it. The talent tree is a puny way to try and mitigate this frustration, because they know healers get tired of watching health bars, tanks get tired of spamming taunts and so on.

GW2 will come first. @OP What i do: 1 - Gotta blend with you team. I usually don´t wear my "battle nun" outfit. Just some pants and a nice chest piece i have. Enemy players tend to look for the healers in the "there´s the dude with a skirt, lets kill him" basis. 2 - Avoid hanging out in obvious places like behind pillars in voidstar, for instance. Enemies expect the healers to be there and usually they send the stealth parade to kill you. 3 - Don´t be a sitting duck. I never sit back tossing heals all the time. Try moving around, even getting your hands dirty in close range, to try and avoid being pinned down by enemies. It´s hard for them to mark you, if you´re in the middle of the fray along with 10 people. 4 - If you´re being chased, DONT run away from your team. Run to the middle of the fight and try to kite your pursuer there. Chances are, someone will start beating the snot out of him, and he will give up on you to defend himself. At that point, stop running and start beating him, instead.

The chest pieces are hideous, alright. But nothing beats the lower robes aka "skirts", when it comes to ridiculous. Even for a female sage. BW should implement a wardrobe system ASAP.

Lol, so true man. We should blame BW for try and make consulars look, feel and play like mages / priests. Or what i like to call them, battle nuns. Anyways, i´d have a word or two to say to those designers, if i stumbled upon them at the street.
