So you removed the area taunt for Guardians not in Soresu...........

Well, we need to work on our questions now, it seems. I like the Vigi changes, but I think the tree needs some cleaning up. There are way too many skill points that you have to dump into it, for both pvp and pve. I still feel a little too squishy in pvp... especially against other dps classes. If I'm in melee range, I should be able to wail on a ranged dps, but I'm not. PvE, we are much better, but still not in line for dps in progression raiding.

I was going to say this as well. It seems that every new content expansion will see a requisite cartel market push for vanity items. This game has been sliding down the slope ever since the idea of the cartel market came about. Just like STO and every other game model that uses a cash shop to support the game and not a monthly fee, eventually, in order to compete, you will need to buy CM items.

If you look, we're not all in 78s. Most of the team is sub-72s.

Agreed. Artifice has been dead since the day the CM went live. End-game quality crystals with a level restriction 40 levels below the ones artifice can craft of the same quality basically ended our only real source of income, and it only got worse with the collections unlocks. Yeah, there are hilts... but again, we can only craft the same ones that everyone can get with the end-game gear grind, and not the pvp ones. I, like you, really try to enjoy this game. EAware is making it hard to do that. I have subscribed since day one, and my current sub expires on 4-5, the day after ESO's full launch. I want to play both, but if SWTOR can't make up some ground by that time (almost 2 months) and show us that this game is more than the cash cow we are seeing now, I'll probably not be renewing. It's sad really. They made such a big deal about using this game engine, yet what has it brought us? I don't see any of the features they were hooting about back in the early press releases (like live updates/downtime-less maintenance, automagic optimization of assets, etc.) were ever realized in the way they thought it would. Bottom line, they took an alpha engine, made it a WoW clone, added in some story-line elements with fancy voiceovers, slapped Star Wars on the front and here we are today.

They just need to remove the restrictions on warzones and flashpoints, period. Increasing the playerbase that is able to do this things can only help.

It was entertaining to play.... so I can't imagine it would be any less watching, perhaps even more entertaining, since Boques' commentary is exceptional. If I wouldn't have to compete with instruction lag, I'd watch the stream while playing it. 3 manning with a healer is no problem, given this game's fetish with OP heals and endless mana pools.. 8 manning with no healers or pure dps classes is a totally different story. As it was, we one-shot every boss except the tanks. How many pugs can say that even if they aren't 8 guardians?

For SM stuff I am fine with the "tactical" aspect of it. Anything to make queue times go down is a plus for me. If the elitists want to maintain the proper Tank/Heal/DPS scheme in a flashpoint, then they need to queue more often on their tanks and heals instead of going off and leveling a FTM class.

That's probably the best looking part of the fleet. I would love to see the rest of the Republic fleet get a makeover like that (in the next expansion?). The addition of the blue lights makes it seem not so "Huttish yellow" and dull.

2-manned with a healer... not really that special, to be honest, especially with only 1 target to heal. Now if it was 2-man w/o a healer, I'd be impressed.

It seems to have to be hit perfect.

Challenge accepted!

Yeah, the build was actually very impressive, plus the 2-piece pvp set bonus heal on Guardian Leap. I'm pretty sure I would've survived the falling phase if I had my desktop and wasn't on my laptop too... we shall see next week!

There were those who said it was impossible. But they were wrong. There were those who said it was foolish to even think of the thought. But they were the foolish ones. It has been done: 8 Guardian Ops team clears EV and takes a selfie in front of Soa. http://assets.enjin.com/wall_embed_images/1389669167_Screenshot_2014-01-13_21_04_25_396787.jpg Youtube video coming soon!
