Hey all, Every time I start this expansion and go through the cutscenes, my game crashes. I deleted the bitraider folder and such already in hopes of fixing this issue. Is there a work around here? This is my first time running into this issue.

I have found sorceror/sage healing is easiest for me. I tried the other 2 classes for a bit but kept falling back on that sorceror class.

I can only see this happening as a flashpoint or a small series of operations. As a flashpoint, you would be a party called upon by your faction to check out a distress call from a ship out in unknown space. Once you get there, you find the ship in chaos. Maybe find some people there with those slave collars. Those slaves would be enemies for a majority of the instance. Toward the end, you come face to face with a vong warrior or two. They would have some resistance to most force abilities, other than lightning and what not (mostly the dots and such). If it went that route, it was only 1 flashpoint and noone would really even know *** happened lol. With this, you had very limited interaction with the species. This idea would have to find a way to be "forgotten" somehow. Maybe once your party came back to known space, you would get a call from the sith council saying there was some kind of evidence left behind somewhere of this small invasion that must be kept from public knowledge, so you must be sent back out again to the general location again and get rid of all evidence of the encounter. You return to the ship again but find more vong there. They are using this ship as a small base of operations for scouting parties. You go in and have to destroy anthing in your way. There might be some growing coral skippers and other vong....stuff...... around there. You fight off some vong forces while taking this stuff out. At the end of the ship, you take on the leader of the scouting party. Once finished, you set a timer for detonation and get out. You receive a call from the council again saying good work, if you speak of what you have seen to anyone, we will come after you. This is based on an imperial standpoint, I have no idea how the republic would be able to cover this up and make sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were to be....dare I say it....a world event for specific planets. Places like Taris, Tatooine, and maybe the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa in some corner of the map where the scum lurk.

I think seeing vader or fett walking around the fleet thousands of years before they are around would ruin the game a bit for me.

droid bounty hunter anyone??

You mentioned the vong there...What would be an interesting lead into that would be maybe a space mission where you are fighting off some space pirates or somthign on the edge of the galaxy somewhere, all of the sudden, some stray fire hits an big heavy rock.....which starts shooting back.......At this point, the mission would change direction from an offensive to get the hell out of their and jump into lightspeed without hitting too much debree or straggling pirates that might be hit by the unknown force behind you. That would be the beginning. Later,a month or 2 after the mission is released, maybe we get a call for an operation on a planet on the outskirts having to do with them again.

Depending on server, its tank or healer usually. For The Shadowlands, I would say tanks are harder to find...but not by much. My healer only take about 10-15 minutes at most for a FP queue. It's usually alitle bit faster on tank.

There ya go. There's your entry level operations. Operations are 8 man groups that work as a team with higher mechanics than a normal flashpoint. Another thing you should think about is you don't have your full set of abilities yet. Sorceror healers don't get their AOE until 40+ and that is quite useful in operations since it's a group of 8 people. This game has been around for around 1.5 years now. I think you should have at least 1 50 to experience everything you are looking for. I don't see how they would put a raid like this together for a lower level group....Would it just be Taral V glorified for 8 people? I think the regular flashpoints are enough to get you ready for operations. Once you hit the right level, check out youtube on the relevant operations. You can learn basics on the fights and mechanics from there to help you out once you hit that level....or join a guild to help you level up PVP and flashpoint runs help boost your level real quick.

I raid almost every night and I might pay 25k per raid...if that...if you do dailies and weeklies, you should have no reason to be complaining about money....is the fact that makeb (which has like 10+ dailies to do), on top of ilum, black hole, section x, and belsavis. That's alot of credits on dailies alone....i will do all of these maybe once or twice a week and be set for a month on credits...I call my low less than 500k.

What do you think happens next? I can see potential for an operation of some sort.

I sense multiple potential operations revolving around taking down the emperor.....(hope I didn't just give them an idea....)

I thought getting credit for level 50 flashpoints for the 55 weekly was a glitch too haha

freud?

I only made 1 DPS and rarely play him at endgame because it takes way to long to queue for flashpoints and operations. I just switch between my 2 tanks and 2 heals now. My wait times are usually about 5-15 minutes.
