When I tank in PvP, I'm a PT Tank and I use a full set of Tank gear. I'm not there to get fancy kills. I'm there to keep the healer alive. I'll shield them and start dropping Taunts on anyone that gets close to wail on them. That's what tanking is. You're a meatshield, not a killer. If you want to do some damage, change to a DPS spec.

If anything, I'd like to see an NPC that begs for affection. If your first instinct is to reject them or tell them to get off your ship, and they are desperate to be with you, you'd think they'd take all sorts of stupid risks to endear themselves to you and be approved by you. If you're going to kick the puppy, either its going to run off to another master or keep on coming back and looking to please until you stop kicking it.

Okay, since people don't know about this, I'll inform you as to how to do Cadimemu: 1. The rockets on the final boss are tied to his health bar - the faster you dps him, the faster the rockets will fire. I have done the mission several times as a 50 to walk through some lower levels, and I actually have to stop dpsing him completely and let the lower levels do it because if I start in, the rockets will fire faster than it takes the initial one to stop firing, ending up with all rockets going off at the same time. tldr: Don't DPS if you're overlevel by 5 or more. EDIT: I have not tried this with a 50 since the patch, so possibly we'll be able to DPS him down properly now, as 15 sec is more than enough time for a rocket to run out of juice. 2. I died and the room is now on fire! That's a bug. You either need to leave the instance after entering it the first time, then go back in again to get it to stop, OR send in one party member through the doors to burn to death, and then rez him. After it kills one person, with the rest in the hallway, the fire will stop automatically with you all still in the instance. tldr: Leave and rejoin the instance or let 1 person die in the room before bringing the rest of the group in.

As a heavy duty crafter, I find it extremely time consuming to have to shuffle various discovery missions and crafting materials from character to character through loads of emails. Now that the Legacy system has been created to link all our characters together, have you put any thought into creating a "Legacy Bank" that we can store our massive amount of crafting materials in so each character can craft from this communal bank? On each character I have at least one hangar bay devoted to the character's crafting profession, and I'd really love to see something to streamline the crafting process and allow us to free up more room for other items.

I'm playing both classes right now. Snipers kill things fast. That's your only defense is to kill the enemies as fast as possible. Operatives have a lot of smaller burst damage, and can choose how to engage via stealth. If things are bad, you can activate an insta-stealth move which disengages you from combat. Saved me more than a few times. Neither class is built for survivability, which is why Kaliyo is a tank. Sniping will let you easily pick the range of your engagements and dish out a ton of damage. You just need to out-dps the enemy.

On both my 50s I had hit 49 by the time I hit Voss. On Belsavis I usually burn through 47-48 easily. By the time I hit 40 I have such a huge green buffer of bonus exp built up that I can do my regular logoffs in cantinas and not worry about ever completely exhausting that buffer if I decide to log off in the field a few times. Having run through Voss as a Healer w/ NPC tank and a Tank with NPC healer, I've encountered no issues with doing the planet's missions. Though I must point out that I tend to pvp while I mission, which accounts for the extra exp gain. Not everyone pvps, and I also do the bonus missions (if they aren't greyed out) on planets, as well as any other extra missions.

/me looks at thread. /me reads and realizes the extent of the issue. /me nods. Okay. I'm sorry. Calling you a 'whiner' was a bit too harsh, and I apologize. Normally when I hear "exploits" being called out, I think of valid and unconventional uses of already in the game abilities. I haven't seen these exploits you've mentioned, and I'd like to see proof of them in the future so Bioware can have some hard evidence. In the meantime, I have apologized on the internet. But behind this keyboard, I am also slightly embarrassed. Take that as you will.

If you're going to come on the forums and whine about it, you obviously are concerned. So then take some vids of it and document it properly rather than through "word of mouth" and show some proof. Then we'll take you at face value and it can be fixed. But your unsubstantiated claims don't help yourself or anyone else. Either put some effort into bringing the problem to light by showing evidence or shut up and deal with it.

Hey, at least you're not Artifice. Can't sell lvl 50 crystals at all. People have undercut them down to 40k each currently on my server. Not even worth it anymore.

Hey. Sorc Healer here. Crit/Surge PvE build with mostly Columni/Rak gear that is startin' to earn his BM pieces. I see a ton of complaints on these forums about how Healers can't handle the damage and how their heals are "ineffective"... Quit your whining. I've been healing in PvP with barely any expertise for a long time, and I'll let you know that if a Healer can stand up to a 2v1 fight and survive, then either the two attackers don't know how to play or your spec is completely wrong. What are the two things Sorcs can do? DPS or Healers. We are meant to be tissue paper, people. That's why we get a tank to start with in our storyline! Sure, its annoying to be taken down by DPS and be marked every single fight, but we're an essential part of the team - we keep everyone else alive, and keep on throwing our bodies into the mix so the rest can keep on fighting! We aren't meant to be able to keep people surviving while they are getting hammered on by more than one other player. If the enemy is smart enough to take out other players by focusing DPS, then we better have more than one healer on our side. The only way you're going to survive for an extended period in PvP is if you've got a Tank guarding you and a back up healer keeping you alive. Or you manage your LoS properly and people aren't smart enough to target you. So quit your whining and suck it up and deal with it. You're making the rest of us capable healers look bad.

No, he's on a 3 hour timer I think. The giant Rakgoul is an insanely long timer.

If you had an active sub by that date, you get one. Not sure if lvl 50 comes into account. Anyway. You'll be getting mails up until the 24th. After that, you can rage.

Yeah. My completely Tionese fitted Ashara just had a massive power drop. Not to mention my own stat changes.

Very useful info. Hope this gets stickied.

No, that's the PvP Healing bonus that's capped at 30%.
