I'm sorry but... WHAAAAAAAAAA??? I don't know if i should be laughing right now as loud as i am.

I play EVE but i never die because of bugs. I die from mistakes, being ganked on or pure dumbness of the moment [aka too much drinking and flying] NEVER EVER because of BUGS. Imagine the flames spreading in eve forums if there was a bug that was responsible for their ship to go bye bye. nuff said.

Had the same problem today in huttball when I tried to crouch, got me killed in the most stupid way in the world to someone i could have killed in a second if i was in cover. thankfully it didn't happen again till now... though I do think it will when i need it the most.

It's almost the same looking as the Rakata enforcer/medic chest, though i don't recall they are as white as this one. the tech field is much cooler looking for my taste though here's my pretty agent http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9201/68545360.png http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/6015/39235841.png

If you are a sniper, you should aim for 4 pieces of field tech gear since you will have the set bonus that fits your abilities. after you got them, you can always change mods from other gears to opt your desired stats. for example if you want a little bit more cunning, you can get the enforcer gear [for example boots] which have more cunning on the armoring mod piece then the one on the field tech armoring mod piece and just extract it and put it in the field tech's one. you will still have your set bonus but will also have a little more cunning instead of endurance. [btw dont bother checking the actual boots im talking about, i'm giving this as an example for the sake of the explanation, you should look at all 3 gear types and compare the stats in the games vendor] dont forget that you may only extract mods from the boots and then put them on other boots, you cant extract them and then put them into the chest piece and so on. so choose wisely

I don't think anyone is more annoying to have as Vector the bugman. wish i could squash him as the bug he is. not to mention that he is the only romance option for the female IA. now this sucks.... anyone in his right mind cannot seriously be turned on or even be comfortable with him always saying "WE are" "WE like" "WE want"... damn thats creepy

and today [monday] we got the gloves. tomorrow will be another piece. im guessing that the last day we get the chest and then the event will be over.

i did say rakata/calumi whichever you got. and basically this op is more about coordination and execution and not 100% depended on gear at all. yes it will take you a lot of time to understand the mechanics if you don't watch guides about it and yes its hard to coordinate with pugs and so on. but that's in the end where the fun is. rewards don't come freely. work a bit, eventually you'll get it. and one other thing, as an mmo, you do need to give incentive to people that play a lot of time, if new things are easy they will stop playing it because they don't get any gratification from it.

why should new 50's be able to easily take out a new harder lvl op that is made for people that actually did the previous 2 ops to gear up. for us, the people that cleared the last 2 ops, the new op story mode is fun and challenging but more then possible to do. you need to take the same road we took to get here. Do the old ops, gear up and then go to the new op. it was made as a challenge for people that are not finding EV and KP challenging anymore because they did them so many times and already got all the gear, we SPENT TIME doing them. a lot of time. why should this new OP story mode be easier then the old OPS HM? even be equal to it? common, this is called PROGRESSION. it should be and feel a story mode for rakata/calumi geared people exactly like EV/KP story mode feels for ungeared fresh 50's.

a wise man once said:

but they said: "This contest is only open to residents of the United States"

Recriute gear is deffinetly NOT for PVE content, its stats are VERY low. the only good thing about is that fresh lvl 50s can buy it and get straight into warzones [PVP] and that is it. they can use a full lvl 49 orange moded gear, the mods they can get by doing dailys or buying them. but dont go let them in a HM FP with recruite gear, they will be usless. you can also do the normal [story mod] of the PF and get some tionese crystals and buy tionese gear [and also gear em up with the gear that drops there] all of these choises are much BETTER then Recriute, that from the beginning was only made for pvp to let fresh 50s to get into the action fast. Another advice, if you have some geared players in your guild, take the most geared once with the freshies [like 2-3 geared and the rest fresh] and walk them through the PFs. and trust me, we finished most of PFs in around an hour or 30 min depending on the FP. you can rotaite the members like that. but all this is achivable when guildies are ready to help eachother instead of doing thier own thing with their time. but it does help and in a week most of the freshies will be mostly geared. thats what we done early on in our guild to get ready for ops an just easily gear some people up. hope that helps

it doesn't

don't forget that if you want to craft an end game mods and such, you need to run ops or HMs to get the schematics. nothing here is handed for free mate, your will still need to run endgame content to be able to switch the mods and also be able to craft endgame gear and mods. so in the end, if you dont run the ops and such, you get no benifit from this update whats or ever. and i would like to be able to use my fav orange gear instead of the horrible looking pvp gear i have to choose from as an IA. thats one of the reasons i dont even bother with pvp. the gear is ugly as it can be for my taste. at least the pve gear looking pretty, but not all. now with this update we get to choose how we look and still have the same lvl gear.

why are you comparing the champion to Tionese? who ever is doing HM never even bother with Tionese gear from the first place [if they do... well, i guess they had crap gear to begin with so they are just uping thier gear a bit.. or that they are stupid] if you want to make a valid point, you should compare the same tech gear. its easy to get T1 gear in both pvp and pve, and they are truely bad comparing to the T2. here, i'll do it for you: Champion Field Tech's Jacket [sniper] Total Stats: +87 Cunning +86 Endurance +46 Expertise Rating +44 Power +48 Accuracy Rating Columi Field Tech's Jacket Total Stats: +114 Cunning +98 Endurance +44 Power +48 Accuracy Rating same Tech lvl. now tell me, with 87 cunning and a 86 endurance you really expect doing much in a NM? really???? [HM with champion is fine but def not with Centurion which you may actually pull out with the equivalent to it- the Tionese, but it will still hurt a bit] its comes to a big ststs difference when you are fully geard. so common, dont make me laught. pvp gear is crap for pve, its simple as that. unless ofc you dont have anything better for pve cuz you always pvp. but trust me, the min you start pveing, and get some pve gear, youll drop the pvp gear immidiatly cuz its just wont cut it.
