There was a post awhile back, guy tried this and it didn't help. The legacy name stays even if you delete all chars on the server.

The point isn't that mounting takes 0.8 sec instead of 0.5. If it was as intended then that's fine, change the mounting cast time to whatever they want, but make it actually reflect the time you need to spend casting. If an ability has a cast time of 0.5, start the animation earlier, or let us move around even while the animation is still processing. If the ability is supposed to be 0.8 sec, then have a 0.8 cast bar and a tooltip saying the CD is 0.8. Right now the cast time is longer because BW screwed up, not because its working as intended.

Ya. Why would anyone want to see gear tied to skill level? Let everyone continue to farm the best gear in the game by AFKing in warzones. Gogo casual!

Bioware, I just had the last 12 minutes in a warzone wasted because your game engine decided to knock me down permanently upon respawning in the entrance area. This led to me being kicked for inactivity because I was unable to move. I'd let it go as a one-off kinda thing except it's happened multiple times now. How about you try fixing this?

We agree on the overall picture so I'm not flaming you, but it's 25 + however many you get from the story quests that are one-time-only. I don't remember offhand how many that was, but b/w Ilum and Belsavis it was at the very least 7 commendations.

Exaggeration? Do all the normal dailies - 25 commendations - plus the bonus/story missions that you can do once the first time that still give daily commendations, and voila - 4-5 armorings easy. Maybe you have to come back and get one more the next day. If you'll note what I said, I specifically said armoring/hilt/barrel. I did not say a full set of all mods/enhancements as well. It's not really that hard though, buy those on the AH, or just do the 3 heroic dailies that give out actual purple mods/enhancements. Bottom line is that within a few days of hitting 50, there's no reason to be undergeared if you're looking to move onto harder content. BW has made is exceedingly easy to gear up.

There's really zero reason anyone should be even attempting hardmodes without a full set of the 51-tier armoring mods/hilt/barrel. You can get enough for all of your armor/weapons by doing one day's worth of dailies at 50. I had 5 pieces of orange gear with 51 armoring, 50 mod, 50 enhancement, all purple, within a day of reaching lvl 50. My weapon was the same thing. Wrist/waist/implants/ear were all lvl 50 blues. Relic was my lvl 50 matrix shard relic and some random blue from crew missions. If it's clear you could improve your gear in some way without doing hardmode instances, ask yourself why you haven't done it already.

Just thought I'd add my voice to the crowd. The change was wholly unnecessary and made the UI worse. Is it the end of the world? No. That said, it makes no sense to now require every player to look directly at the icon to see the CD. There is zero indication if you're looking at the center of your screen that your CD is finished. I could go on about the whole moment of blindness that happens when your eyes quickly scan from one thing to another, but I think it suffices to say simply that it's a bad change and there should be an option to revert it.

Amazing people even half believe crap like this. I have some wonderful snake oil I can sell to you while you're in the buying mood.

2-manned it last night. Jugg tank and me as sorc healer. He had healing companion and I had ranged DPS comp out. Wasn't the easiest fight in the world, but it's definitely doable.

Poorly designed =! too hard. That's the complaint that I was responding to, that "he just does too much damage, it's unhealable and the fight is impossible!" I don't think a fight that involves kiting down a 5 minute hallway is fun either, but that doesn't make it impossible to get past. If someone wants to say the fight is dumb because it is designed poorly, I'll agree with them. I will not agree with the people who try to approach the fight without even thinking and just scream for a nerf. It's not too hard, in fact it's one of the easier fights if you're willing to execute it properly. I think it would be pretty much perfect if they turned off the grenade spam once his two adds are dead. Let all the people who just clump on the boss from the start of the fight continue to wipe.

People just want to complain about fights that require execution and punish you for trying to tank n spank. Boarding Party last boss is ridiculously overtuned..... if you ignore all strategy and just eat grenade after grenade. If you separate the 3 mobs and utilize max range in the fight, it becomes rather simple. Here's a hint - the main boss only lobs chain grenades if you have more than 1 person within 30m of him. Try having the tank stand between him and the healer with healer at max range. Problem solved. The amount of dmg in the fight other than the grenades which are completely avoidable is trivial to any decent healer. It just becomes a DPS check against an enrage timer, the same as many other fights. If all else fails, you have the entire hallway to kite with. The only truly dumb thing in the instance is the chest bugging out if you don't 1 shot the encounter.

Is this confirmed? Purple crystal RE's into a Magenta Adegan Crystal mat that you then use in the schematic to create the equippable Magenta crystal?

As a side note. Did anyone else find the Striking Staff boss in Belsavis 'Breakthrough' quest to be a complete wrecking ball? Ended up 2manning him by just kiting all over the place and relying on dots/instant heals/shield, but he still seemed like a beast. Not complaining, I like challenges - just amazed at the difference in difficulty between him and everything else on Belsavis.

I duo/soloed pretty much everything up to Colicoid. The mechanics in the instance (4manning guns/gate maze) pretty much require a full group.
