I group with a friend of mine for nearly everything, from planet arcs to heroics to bonus series missions, but as a rule we both solo all of our class content for spoilers' sake. I'd be pretty miffed if my friend or I were forced to spoil one another on the class stories (particularly because my friend has an agent that has progressed quite a bit less than my own!) because they tuned the content to require a group.

I'd take my slightly-unhinged, but ultimately loveable diplomat over Prettyboy Cadera any day of the week.

I believe the set in question is mostly (if not entirely) obtained via the missions in the Taris: Bonus Series areas.

I think both models of FP are necessary, and that there definitely need to be more along the lines of Esseles/BT. It's important to have flashpoints that feel like an ~adventure~ for one crowd, and those that are more conventional and re-run friendly for other crowds.

Another Medicine Operative here, and I can't say that I had the same results at all, regarding Kaliyo's toughness vs. Vector's. Kaliyo not only generally keeps mobs on her more consistently, I find healing her far less strenuous. And I give them both a mixture of blues/greens. Which is disappointing to me, really... I'd much rather have Vector around than Kal (being a -generally- lightside, pro-Empire Operative). But I simply can't solo with anyone else. Kinda wish Lokin's Rak form were a viable melee tank, since we lack one of those.

That's odd, I obtained my offhands today as well and the generator definitely had more tech power.

I was able to solo this with my Sith Warrior during one of the weekend tests, but I had to wait to get my companion for my SI. Still very doable, though. And, frankly speaking, I'm not a very skilled player.

What precisely IS the difference between the various playstyles of the Gunslinger? Since it's a pure DPS class, it's hard to tell what's what.

Pureblood here. I had actually originally intended a human but I made a PB for fun during one of the weekend tests and instantlyknew it was a right fit. Gonna remake at the speed of light.

All 3 of its talent trees seem like a blast (in the case of Pyrotech, quite literally), which isn't usually the case. And the armor/gadgets have always been the most appealing part of the Bounty Hunter SW archetype. Although, while all 3 trees may have their appeals, I'm definitely most interested in how its tanking mechanics work.

Another guy in the Fort Hoodish area, here. Yowza.

Word up, OP. Shame the thread's going to be closed while the whining and copy-pasting persists in the official one.

Please, stop. Just stop. Keep it where it belongs.

I wasn't promised anything other than that I'd get to play the game for certain on the 20th. Nobody was guaranteed squat otherwise, and the Early Access's priortiy criteria has been known for quite a while. The only treachery to be seen here is by the ungrateful and self-entitled. Unfortunately, they are many. On another note, I'm really glad they went with this route. Better to have the various level zones fill out gradually than have the entire playerbase right there in the starting zones all at once. It'd be madness, if the weekend tests were any indication. I'll take advantage of any extra time I do get, but I'll do so knowing that it's a luxury.

I can't possibly see how any could go to this page and think "They aren't letting enough people in fast enough!". How daft can you possibly be? The game's release date is 12-20-11, and it's when you should have expected to have your hands on the game. Anything else is a bonus, particulary the first two bonus days that we were given.
