thank you for answers. I don't why they would be linked, but after I launched the game from my secondary computer successfully, launcher started working just right on my main computer as well

my launcher doesn't do anything for a while and then gives me a message: "This application has encountered unspecified error. please try this patch again". there doesn't seem to be option to try installing patch again other than restarting launcher which always yields same results and the repair function in the launcher is not available because it finds everything to be ok

I used to a very active raider, but after taking a 6 month break, new Dread Palace and Fortress HM require much higher gear level than I can acquire using tactical FPs and there are no SMs available in group finder for those Ops. Only way to catch up would be to wait for pug forming up for them, since guild won't do them anymore in SM and so far I've never seen anyone trying to form a pug for those. Any plans to add Dread Palace and Fortress to group finder or do I need to wait for next expansion to be on same level again with other players. currently subscription feels like going to waste

I play tanking vanguard and we've been farming EC hm with guild for month or so. Have about 60% shield chance with 70% absorb + 10% defense. 1. Threat generation is way too low and DPS output is low, no complaints about survivability so far 2. Threat generation is too low, I have to keep taunt and mass taunt constantly on cd to be able to keep aggro on single target. multiple mob tanking pretty much impossibility if dps are not focusing their attacks. Survivability is a joke, reactive shield only grants 25% reduction where as JK and Shadow get 50%, Adrenaline rush heals only 10% eventhough tooltip says it should heal 15% and even that wouldn't be enough, i think 20-25% should be closer. Smoke grenade is good and seems to be helping more than other defensive cd's. DPS output is really bad in tanking specc. Using MOX parser, I've only gotten around 600dps, where as pure dps classes do 1700dps, that easily shows why threat management is too hard even with recent threat buffs. Further, vanguard tanks don't have any abilites that are classified as high threat abilities like JK tanks have at least.

For 3 times in row now that I've used LFG tool to queue up for FP hm and completed it with same group from start to end, I have not received the BH commendations even though other group members get them. I've done runs over 24 hours apart so daily has had time to reset properly. Last night I also did KP normal via group finder and we had to get 2 new members without them using group finder. we figured that would screw up the BH comms, but again others get them, but I didn't.
