I want a way to mute companion conversations. Not the conversations I initiate on my ship or in a cantina, but the ones that seem to occur with every dismount, quick travel, kill, or just randomly running around on a planet. The only way (I believe) there is to do this currently is to mute ALL sound effects, and that's not a good idea, as a lot of combat clues are audio-only, and we need them to fight effectively. Thank you.

I have 12 lvl 50's (14 or so in another week), half of which have either full WH or Rakata+ gear. It's not that hard, given the time I've already spent. If you L2Legacy transfer, you can gear up 1 char in a snap, and from there it just builds. Oh, and as for the "no life" comment, you got me there...

Couple points: HK-51 is definitely an advantage to PVP'ers, because most open world pvp DOES NOT occur in OLD or Ilum -- it occurs anywhere else that players might encounter each other, like Alderaan, Belsavis, Voss, etc. No, you can't use him in "designated" FFA areas, but that's no big deal. Those areas are ghost towns anyway, on all servers. PVP "Griefer Guilds" that you're so afraid of camping your corpse in OLD while you attempt to spend 30 seconds there buying a something from an unkillable vendor (as described early on in this post) don't exist on PVE servers. If they exist at all, they exist on PVP servers, where you have an outside 5% chance of actually encountering someone of the opposite faction and have the OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE to engage them or ignore them. And most of the time, people ignore each other, unless there is a reason to pick a fight. If you do find actual "Griefer Guilds" on PVE servers, then I'll eat my hat in amazement at how absolutely lame they are to have created and geared characters there as opposed to PVP servers. It would be similar to a car company that insisted on making all of its cars right-hand drive for sale in the USA. It would make no sense. I visited OLD on two different servers (one PVP, one PVE) during prime time since the release of HK-51. I spent several hours there hidden and watching. Not ONCE did I see anyone engage in a fight over this vendor, or getting to/from it. I had a few people find me (hidden) and wave or otherwise greet me, but nothing else. I would be curious to know, after ALL THIS COMPLAINING, how many people actually got attacked in OLD while doing this quest. I actually got attacked once, not killed or harrassed (on a PVP server) but it was on Hoth, not Tatooine. I write this when there are 88+ pages of replies to the OP. He did have a point concerning BW's choice to put the vendor in a PVP area. But most people who disagree with the devs decision just went in there, bought their item, and left without incident. Apparently not without complaining here first, however.

I find it much easier to level as a healer than as any other choice, regardless of class. You still do pretty decent DPS (60%-80% of a DPS spec, depending upon equipment and skill), with the added ability to survive pretty much anything that gets thrown your way. Once you get Risha (or any high-damage DPS companion) it gets a lot easier to take down big stuff. Sure, without a tank, you draw aggro a lot and end up running around like a chicken... but your DPS companion will chew up the enemy while you do that, so it's hilarious to watch/participate in. Always put points into Anatomy Lessons (bottom center talent in the Sawbones tree), because you will use those talents quite a bit to DPS. For a truly minimalist healer with DPS capability, I suggest putting only 22 points in the healing tree, going up only into EMP and Emergent Emergencies, then putting points into Scrapper or Dirty Fighting. With 3 stacks of UH, smacking people around with repeated Sucker Punch is marvelously effective, and if you work your combos right (start from stealth, use Shoot First, etc.) you almost never take damage from a strong, and little from an elite. For PVP, I agree with prior postings to avoid putting points into Diagnostic Scan. You just don't get that much time to stand around when getting focused/chased by multiple marauders and strafed by snipers...

Experience goes a long way. I've done this fight several times now (I just completed it on my third inquisitor, this time a sorc, across 3 servers) at lvl 29 without me or Khem hitting half health. Just equip yourself and Khem properly and try to interrupt her heals... but you'll only get a few of them, because she can pretty much chain cast them anyway. I do remember the first time I tried with an assassin, I got eaten... but with a sorc it isn't even a fair fight.

And it is extremely grandiose of you to suggest that all the readers/players of this game have less or no experience than these so-called experts. Remember the statement from a while ago (I paraphrase): "we have the best pvp design talent in the world " or something to that effect. And look what it brought us. Ilum?!? I could design better than that, as could many dozens, if not hundreds of others who play this game.

When non-game designers can have as much insight as they do, what do you think actual game designers think when they're treated like flunkies by customer service and other QQ'ers? A person's degree matters little. I'll admit, the OP went a bit over the top attempting to explain to BW about "Pillars" and "Pseudo-Pillars", but some of his (almost TL;DR) post had good points. His pedigree shouldn't matter in the least. If he has something to say, let him say it.

/signed but not just for GTN. Include any place that sells/trades for schematics, like the pvp vendor. If you have the schematic already, it should indicate it somehow and allow you to sort that way or eliminate the known/repeat options.

/signed

Interrupt and LOS, and it's an easy fight.

/signed I would love to stay at DS 3 or 4 on my Sage, but when I hit DS 5... it looks terrible.

He didn't overwrite a mod with another mod. He purchased a war hero item, which uses ranked coms PLUS the matching battlemaster item. It provides no warning that you will lose it and any special mods you have added to it. It is simply GONE and is replaced by the new war hero item.

I do a lot of crafting. Well, I did. Until all the switching back and forth between Alts to see what schematics I had unlocked (blue or purple) to see if it matched someone's request, and then figure out if I had the materials, or if I had to find them on the GTN or borrow them from someone else. What if our Legacy panel allowed us to view our alts crafting schematics, similarly to the way someone inspecting us can see what we are able to craft? Only thing I would add to that view would be a column indicating how many of the item my alt could craft, and a way to view the components that go into each item.

Thank you very much for the replies. I did find a chart somewhere that listed the skills, and even though some are named differently or have a different visual effect, the damage is the same. Again, thanks!

Simple question: Are there any combat differences between Lightside and Darkside Jaesa Wilsaam, the melee dps companion for Sith warriors? I realize that there are storyline/dialogue differences, which I won't go into because of the potential spoilers. I want to know specifically about the skills she receives and any (if at all) differences in equipment. I realize there are also appearance differences (which could count as equipment), but again that's beside the point. I also realize that there are companion gift differences, and romance differences. Again, beside the point. I'm about to the point where I pick her for my Juggernaut, which is currently DS V. But I have Diplomacy, so changing to LS is just a matter of companion questing a bunch of times. On my Marauder, I went DS and a DS Jaesa. I was just wondering if choosing LS would give me any advantage/disadvantage or if it's completely conversational/storyline.
