Late.

This pisses me off to no extent. after spending the last 16 days doing every F*cking boring @ss space mission to see that you can now just buy everything you need. What a freaking joke...

Show off your HK's Assassination protocal! I seen today it had crit for roughly 89k on a strong mob, but alas, I tried to recreate it and could only get up to 84k, post your images! http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss68/tysignus/Screenshot_2012-11-25_12_11_33_074200.jpg

Actually this part is False, when the game first came out you could pull out Armoring mods from items and they were NOT slot specific, a little ways down the road, when Battlemaster gear got a slight boost during patch 1.2 in which all "endgame" armorings could now be extracted but were bound to slot. So there was a brief time where you could extract a helmet armoring and place it into a belt, but that is a thing of the past.

To be fair the root is only available to merc's who are of a particular spec, what about the other merc's who choose not to be arsenal, what is your advice then? L2respec?

I have played through balmorra many times, and don't recall this, not calling you a liar, as I'm sure there are possibly one or two quests I never did. However I don't think I ever came across any Quest in game that starts off as a normal quest, then has a bonus part, that later turns into a Heroic 4 (bonus from a normal quest), there are Area Quests that show up as Area 4, which are basically Heroic 4's but often the first stage or two are easily solo-able, leading into a Quest much harder if you do not have a group. Do you remember the name of the quest? Is it possible its just a regular Heroic 4 obtained via mission terminal? There are often these Heroic quests on mission terminals located in an area on the planet that's only accessible after you start the Bonus Series associated with the Planet Story Arc. edit* there is an occasion where I mistake a quest area for the wrong quest, some times the quest tracker doesn't update or I get tired and not really paying attention. This might be another possibility a simple case of mistaken quest identity.

This also happens when using the group finder and being in an active space mission (in combat) not sure if that's relevant. Hit accept/travel now and Crash to Desktop. Has happened two times in the last two days same scenario.

yes it would be if you talent for the reduced cost, and the set bonus on top of that.

Yea, its similar to the boa gear from wow, the only thing is you can only buy the intended gear on that character, meaning if you want to buy the Bounty hunter gear, it has to be purchased with an actual bounty hunter, otherwise you get an error message saying you're not the correct class or some junk. And each time you get another character to the end of chapter 2 you always get the main hand weapon kit., all the other kits come from the crew skills Investigation, Treasure Hunting, Underworld Trading usually from the one time use 340 mission's though its completely random if you get a legacy kit or not, usually from mission crits. Hope this helps.

Maybe a starting place is Hoth to begin or obtain an item that you bring with you...

basically TL;DR we nerfed SM EC's BH coms by 20, but gave you 8 or so for doing the weekly, grats. and no the best way to farm black hole coms would to do everything you can in one week to get black hole coms. 7 random GF dungeons, 2 "random" operations, the Black Hole dailys at least once per week, and the rakghoul weekly, and Nightmare KP, and last but not least, doing SM/HM EC and the weekly associated with it which equaled to the ballpark of around 120 coms per week. Now that NIM Kp and SM ec don't drop them, and the chests in EC HM don't drop them, that is a significant nerf, I liked being able to gear up my alts and such, guess I'm boned now. On top of that how do you define "progression" because I think it varies from guild to guild to developer, not everyone is currently working on the HM of the new operation. Many people will still feel that the natural order of progression would be to gear up at least columi - then to rakata- then ..... You know what, I don't care, you guys messed up by having a billion "tiers" of gear right off the bat. Regardless of your " intentions " people wont mess around with SM EC any more, unless they still working on their natural gear progression to get into TFB HM, I didnt mind doing it before to get alts some quick cheap gear, but I don't see myself going back in there ever again, so grats on that.

I don't know! I wish we could get those "official" hints posted here somewhere.... hint hint TBH seems like a troll post (the hints) since im sure somewhere out there some one has been datamining the hell out of 1.4, and there has been nothing as far as I know about new pets that get hatched, or a new color crystal, or something else completely new... So whats in the cave? /trollface hehe lolz well you're in the cave so w/e you took with you /duh

Maybe you must enter it alone, possibly for a solo fight. (like the movie) Is there any in game item that gives you a buff that keeps you warm, that anyone can get at any point of the game?... I cannot imagine it would involve multiple people at 1 time (to activate the event), nor a specific alignment, nor a specific race/class combo.

Can we get a function for the Mini map where you can Ping on it? Similar to WoW, and also the ability to write, like GW1. This helps a lot when explaining a fight to a new member or pug. Also maybe a ready check system, in order to actually see who's at the keyboard and ready to go. These things are a must for Raiders IMO.

you should get us a SS of its location. Are you saying its in between Tron boss and Kephess?
