Port Nowhere has some decent potential. Still more empire than repub but the repubs put up a good fight and have some good guilds that openworld PvP. Would like to see some more republics joining. I'm empire and I really want to see some good open world epic battles.

Sure seems that way. Playing Empire on Port Nowhere, last night, I was finishing up on Voss and people were whining in general about getting repeatedly killed outside the temple of healing. Admittedly, it's easy to camp the res point but still, this is a PvP server. The night before, a bunch of repubs were killing empire at the same spot and instead of whining, we got a bunch of empire together and took it back. Kudos to Relic guild (main repub guild in the area) for initiating the fun. The battles weren't about valor or comms, it was purely open world, no reward PvP and so much fun. Darmenhoth(sp) and Revenants of Korriban were the main empire guilds showing up.

great post

You might want to check again. Hover over your bonus damage (melee and force) and you will see that while strength will help on melee, willpower is there also and counts just as much as strength. This means that if you have 100 str or 100 willpower you get the same benefit on your melee attacks, however if you have 100 str, it gives you nothing for your force attacks which are a key part of even the consular shadow AC. I play the counterpart class, the SI Assassin and if my shock and stuff were not doing much because I focused on str, I would be severely gimped. EDIT: Originally, the other stats like str for SI/Consular did make a difference in melee but iirc the August release removed that and you only needed to focus on one main stat for your base class and it was the same regardless of AC and spec

You can't get to end game zones without your ship which you get when you finish your capital world.

ahh, my bad, that would be pretty awesome. Probably wouldn't be too hard since I think right now you can right click on someone's portrait if you have them targeted and see their schematics.

It's already there, bring up your crafting screen, select the item you want to link, bring up your chat window and start a message to your guild. Shift click on the Icon for the item and it will link it.

Grenades have a 5 minute shared cooldown so if you use a grenade, you can't use any other grenade regardless of type for 5 minutes.

Right now, your options are to reroll on a different server

Biggest thing I want to see is OW PvP get rewards, this will bring more of the casuals into OW PvP. I enjoy the WZ's for a quick PvP fix but they pale in comparison to OW PvP.

Have you tried interrupting behind them where their cover doesn't cover them?

Agreed. I did manage to find a tiny touch of PvP on Tatooine, I was killed once, played stealth tag once and got one kill so three times had a chance at OPvP, all in the space of about 8 hours on the planet and I did spend at least 2 of those actively looking for Republic players to kill.

+1 for Open world PvP rewards

I have a fully moddable helm and gloves

great guide, keep up the good work
