That was Scorpio from the IA. Good job Bioware. Loved it and was in tears laughing.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to the new raid and dailies for everyone involved.

Would be nice, but you know, your 'raid gear' is PVE gear. not 'raid gear'. There is no stat on it that says "Raid" or anything else that buffs your performance while raiding and only raiding like the expertise stat does for PVP. As for you suggestion of Presence. If you ONLY have that stat on then ONLY your companion improves and not you. Therefore making soloing IMPOSSIBLE if you are playing "Pokemon in Space". If you are so 'hard core' about raid gear only being for raiding, then you should in fact be trying to get Bioware to make a tier of gear with a raid only stat. This stat would improve everything while you are in an Ops zone but be useless everywhere else since it's RAID gear. Until such time as that is implemented, 'Raid gear' is still Player Versus Environment gear. If BW wants to include alternate and more time consuming ways to obtain better PVE gear that doesn't involve getting 7-15 other people working together regularly then good for them for providing ALTERNATE METHODS to obtain something. If your guild is going to fold just because joe somebody can get the same piece of gear as you but taking them over five times as much effort then I can say with pride that SWTOR will be better off for the loss. Pride of accomplishment is one thing. Ego and gear based E-peen is nothing to be proud of. Edit: Here is an outstanding example from my time in FFXI. Relic weapons. Best weapons in the game. People who ran Linkshells (Guilds) that did Dynamis (raids) would get the currency faster and complete their weapons before normal people. HOWEVER The average player could buy currency from others and work towards the weapon on their own. Only in the last two stages would a group be required for the items. (However the group now is substantially less with the level cap increase)

Gavin, please go Re-read my entire post instead of just clipping a tiny bit you don't agree with.

After reading nearly 25 pages of this. (no small task i might add) I had a couple of thoughts. Why is it that some of these 'raiders' think that players who use the Black Hole commendations to get the gear is like getting gear without /any/ effort. If you think about it, it would require more effort to get them this way. Example: - To get a Rakata implant requires 120 Daily commendations and at 25 commendations per day, would require five days to get this single piece. Now, those 25 commendations would take about two or three hours to obtain bringing the total time invested per piece to ten or fifteen hours. - To get a Rakata armor piece currently involves completing a boss fight in a raid. Raids typically take about two hours to complete. Therefore, the raider is obtaining their gear about 5 to 7.5 times as fast. The solo/low man method of obtaining the items is more work involved to get them. They should be rewarded as not everyone /wants/ to raid. I'm not saying hand them the items without work, but saying they shouldn't be entitled to anything because they want to play the game differently then someone else. Raiding should be about getting the gear faster and with challenges they can feel pride in accomplishing. The solo/low man group should be allowed to obtain the same gear with more work involved so they can feel a sense of accomplishment as well.

Posted on page one myself but would be better if the OP put it at the top.

Someone C&P that mod post to the first page!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Hello, I recently made a Jedi Knight (was holding off until White / Silver Crystals were added) and I just got off Tython. In planning out my gear look for the RP server I'm on I found a really nice body piece (Blue unmoddable) from the Tython Commendation vendor. I was hoping to get something similar / identical but orange (IE Moddable) Screenshot included here For the Record this is a Medium piece, if there is something like it in Medium I would appreciate it as I'm still deciding between Sentinel and Guardian.

Finally! An answer!!

I asked in RP section. Obviously ignored. Asking again in the everything else.

I'd love to have a Mini Jawa for my BH so I can have Blizz and Baby Blizz

I'm really looking forward to the new Emotes and hopefully silver / white lightsaber crystals. I don't want to level a Jedi until I can have those colors for RP reasons.

YES! OH YES~! Finally no more random mismatch colors on my trooper / BH!

I personally like the legacy system and the little tidbits they have shown us really make it look like it's coming along. We'll get more details if a few hours but if you dislike it so much why not try to contact the developers directly and explain to them that a "swoop bike mini game" would be a better use of time in an MMO. I may not agree with your points on legacy but I think until we get the info first hand calling it a waste of resources because /YOU/ don't like it doesn't make it a bad system.
