It makes no sense to me that the forum would need to be down for 4 hours along with the game. Are you hosting it on the same server as the game? I have plenty of experience with coding and running websites and that's the only explanation I can think of that makes any sense. The only time one of my sites was ever down for 4 hours was during a DDOS attack or when switching hosts.

That's all PUGs. It has nothing to do with faction or server.

Why can't you use the SWTOR site to update people about SWTOR? Why does everyone try to force me to use Twitter? You shouldn't be exclusively using a third party site for stuff like this. It would take 5 seconds to copy/paste to your own forum.

My commando healer is basically immortal. The only way for me to die in solo PvE is if I try to solo a heroic 4 or something. I can solo most heroic 2+ though.

Mon Calamari are humanoid. So are Nautolans. So are Rodians. They can all speak basic. I don't buy their reason at all. Nobody ever complained about not identifying with their Bothan in SWG, their Tauren in WoW, their robot in RF Online, etc. The reason we don't have them is because Bioware is lazy. All the races except Twi'leks and Sith purebloods are just recolored humans. For both the purebloods and Twi'leks they still got to reuse the makeup textures, facial animations, etc. One thing the races all have in common is that they took almost zero effort.

Would you like to buy some beachfront property in Arizona? I'll give you a good deal.

I don't think Dagobah should be in the game. There aren't any sentient species living there and the whole planet is just forests and swamps. There's no reason for anyone to go there.

What you mean is that Dagobah is the planet where Luke dropped out of training half way through because being an irrational emokid runs in his family. Then he got pwned just like Yoda told him he would and he cried like a little B-word until daddy saved him.

It's a 3 year old laptop and a Mac on top of that, so no. Alienware is owned by Dell now. If you own a Dell all the other nerds will look down on you. Also, Alienware tends to be horribly overpriced. Then again you own a Mac so that's clearly not a problem for you. Plus gaming laptops get about 30 seconds of battery life so there's that to consider too.

He just tanked both bosses in Athiss and did a better job than our disconnected vanguard. <3

They stop being entitled to play as they see fit the minute they join a group.

Do some side quests or something. You only need to do non-story quests on like every other planet. If you do all the side quests and bonus objectives you should be high enough to totally skip the next planet. How are you possibly running out of quests your level to do? Edit: I do each flashpoint once. I do a warzone once in a while, usually about once a planet. I never do a heroic unless it gives an orange I want. Doing that I'm constantly way overleveled for everything. Like I said, I have to skip every other planet except for the mandatory class story quests. I'm just not understanding how it's even possible for you not to have any quests left that are low enough. Even if you did nothing but quests since level 1 and never used any of the EXP buffs the game hands out like candy you should still be overleveled all the time.

My understanding is that mercenaries/commandos are the best single target healers, sages/sorcerers are the best AOE healers and scoundrels/operatives are the best PvP healers.

As a tank or healer in PvE hybrid doesn't work. You might be able to pull it off pretty well as a PvE DPS or in PvP as a tank or healer though. It's basically the same as other classes, except instead of shooting or casting skills at the mobs you're shooting or casting skills at your team. The only difference is the health bars move backwards and the names above your targets are green instead of red.
