  1. These are always interesting, and its cool to see the Dantooine Enclave coming back. It'd be great to see a stronghold based on the enclave at some point, or a mission hub or something.
  2. This. Unfortunately Yavin's become a bit of a botfest.
  3. I kinda like Ziost. It's handy as a sort of relaxing break mid-weekly run. I can run around, scan a few things, jump over a Monolith and go back to the other, more annoying weeklies (Makeb, I'm looking at you) feeling a bit refreshed.
  4. A good mate of mine, who isn't much of a gamer but was a big fan of the KOTOR games, asked me this while we were levelling on Tython: Wish I was making this up. I really do.
  5. I'm nowhere near as well versed in the meta as...well most of you, but one thing I'll say is that the only Strike that I've ever really run with any degree of enjoyment or competetiveness is the Clarion. I enjoy how tough it is, and how you can sort of work it to be something of a bunker buster in terms of bomber nests. I dunno about you guys, but I think it'd be interesting if they sort of worked the Strikes to be something of a more mobile, almost tank role. And yes, I know, loathe the trinity and stuff, but really, you could do some interesting stuff with a taunt-like ability or something to force people to target you, shield boost to soak up mines and whatnot, and still have warheads like thermites to bust up bombers. I dunno, just a thought.
  6. While I'm happy to see this has been done, is there an ETA on some other sets? The Atris set still clips horribly, as I recall.
  7. Haha, that's kind of brilliant, in a way. That said, I'm definately thankful about the nerf, from the sounds of thing. I remember in the early days of 3.0 that people were dreading running HMFPs, so I'm glad things have been adjusted a little. GREAT point about the CCing though, especially when you relate it back to Kinetic Ward usage, since we Shadows tend to rely on it a fair bit without realizing until it's all burned up. LoSing mobs is definately something I'll have to learn the hard way, but it's an invaluable tip. I posted here mainly because I wanted to get some 'on the ground' feedback about tactics - I've seen a few guides for various FPs, and while they are handy, they're a little dry and don't give you handy tips like the ones you guys are giving, so once again, I really appreciate the input.
  8. Thanks so much for the input, everyone. I really appreciate how helpful you're all being. It's always nice to come on these forums and find that, despite the reputation, there are genuinely helpful people around. Also a bit of relief to hear in the first reply that I'm not the only person who has felt a little intimidated running content Still, I definately feel a little more secure in my abilities tanking, since you've all given me bits of advice that I realize I've already been using, more or less...minus maybe CCing which is pretty pointless in tacticals (unless we're talking about Rishi and CC/stealthing by trash mobs to get to the consoles that is!). Even on tacticals I make an effort to avoid circles of bad, despite not needing to since even they barely tickle me with my current gear, and I use taunts and pop defensive cooldowns a fair bit, usually in that instance to let the healer DPS instead of healing me or the DPSs, but it's good to know that that kind of stuff is more or less what I should be doing to get by in hardmodes. I didn't even know about the enhancements being sub-par, so I'll look into that as well, but it's good to know I'm solidly geared and everything for this stuff. Definately feelign quite a bit more confident about this stuff now, thanks. I think for the msot part I was still stuck on the 3.0 notion of the difficulty levels of HMs where groups were really struggling. I didn't realize some of the harder content (blood hunt comes to mind) had even been nerfed!
  9. Okay, kind of stupid question since I mainly solo aside from the occasional tactical. I'm a Shadow Tank, running...mostly 192 comms gear with a couple of pieces of Ziost 190 stuff left. Everything's augmented, and I've got two Ruusan relics - reactive warding and fortunate redoubt. As far as I know, this is pretty good gearing for what it is. That said, I'm still intimidated by Hardmodes. I'm a part of a RP guild, and we don't really do group content like that, so I'm confined to PUGs. As a tank, this is doubly intimidating, and I'd sort of prefer to be in a position where, if I am queuing, iI'll at least be in a position where my gearing will help me recover from stupid mistakes. I guess the real questions are, is hard mode really that big of a deal, and am I being overly cautious? Thanks!
  10. I went on a hiatus from the game for a few months, and I came back sort of...hoping that this set would be fixed by now. Unfortunately there are still a ton of clipping and weighting issues. Against all hope I figured I'd make a thread about this. Please, devs, at least fix it in a later patch if you're going to release sub-par content - not that the broader content is sub-par mind you, but this set does need some TLC to get it up to scratch.
  11. Pretty much this. I mean, this thread's at the point where one of the requests referenced is pretty much already covered by the Relnex set - granted the KOTOR2 Master robes are slightly different, but still, it's just useless nitpicking now. Once upon a time, there was an argument to be made, but Bioware's done a fantastic job of providing various Jedi looks from a number of different eras. If at this stage you can't come up with a Jedi look, when you have access to the Vrook Lamar set, the Humble Hero set, the Relnex set, the Conservator set, the Temple Guardian set, the Valiant Jedi set, the Kreia set, the Atris set, the Ambitious Warrior set, the new SoR craftables or comms gear, or any of dozens of others gear piece combinations, then really, that's your problem. As someone who comes from CO, I find it hilarious that someone who so proudly touts that they won a fashion contest has so little imagination.
  12. The pack one was the Vrook Lamar set, the direct purchase was the Humble Hero set. /thread.
  13. I rather liked the animations in this cutscene, so I took a few shots of my Sorc alt, Bhálr. Plus I'm rather fond of his appearance. http://i.imgur.com/JQDGiVz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wok64qC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KgerLFC.jpg
  14. No matter how many times I see threads like this, they still make me laugh. Do you even know what you're asking for?
