  1. I'm just returning to the game and getting back into GSF. I've been looking over a few builds, guides, ect. to refresh my memory and see what has changed. The one thing that I can't find a clear answer on is which drone is better. Are they all equally about the same (minus missiles I assume) or is there a clear better option?
  2. Thank you. Just returned myself and not having fun with hatred/serenity like I did. Was going to go back to Darkness/Kinetic to level.
  3. It's possible they have bolster mechanics in a central location and both PVP and Operations pull from that location on how to operate. If this is the case it's not hard to fix Operations bolster and accidentally mess up PVP.
  4. There is suppose to be a FixLauncher.exe in your folder. I do not have one and I've re-downloaded and installed the launcher about 5-10 times with no luck. So I just deleted the launcher and every thing that had launcher tied to it in my folder, then reinstalled the launcher. After that I had to run the launcher patch fix I linked earlier to get it working again. Other than waiting for BW to fix their own launcher there is really nothing you can do but maybe flush the DNS (helped for some people) or do what I did and just keep trying to patch. But if you are going to do what I did make sure you do not close the launcher from the task manager. This resets your patches and you have to start from the first patch every time. When you close it by clicking the X in the launcher this makes it remember where it left off and starts from there.
  5. /facepalm. That is an official link from the BioWare launcher support page. All it does is fixes the problem you sometimes get where the launcher doesn't launch. It does not fix the broken patching. BW needs to fix the server host calling in the launcher before it will start working with out a glitch. Only thing you can do is keep trying to patch. When you get the error close it by x, not the task manager. Then go into the task manger and close the process. Then restart the launcher. Keep doing this till it finishes patching.
  6. Just use ctrl+shft+esc to pull up the task manager. This bypasses the windows admin screen.
  7. http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/LauncherRepairUtilityP1.8.2.exe. Download that, move it into your game directory (where your launcher is) then run it.
  8. It's a slow developing class. It's kind of always been like that, but even more so now that we are not under the old Spec system. They moved some key passives/abilities way down the tree that where essential to get the spec to work correctly early game. So you just kind of have to muscle through it.
  9. I didn't even know you could track buffs with Starparse. I knew it had a combat log that would say when the buff dropped off. is that what you are talking about? Or is there some message system you can set up for when it falls off or window that you can set up?
  10. So yeah, as the title says this is more of a question as to how the new lvl 64 passive is going to affect us in the long run. I think we will need this passive since they pretty much force us to use Def over what would be much much better Shield/absorb stat stacking. Not sure why they changed this, and not a fan of it. That being said, and going back to the subject at hand, the new passive seems to create more headaches than actually helping. Part of being a tank is having good situational awareness. With the way the current set up is I'm finding that I have to watch my buff bar more than I would like to try and get the best possible mitigation I can. SO yeah, between the oh so lacking in customization of your buff bar/tracking and that this passive feels more like a band-aid fix to the unneeded gear change. So, after saying all that, my question is how to best optimally set up you buff bar for easy glancing to see how much time/stacks you have left on Dark Ward. Or how best set up a static time in standard rotation to refresh Dark Ward. I had originally thought that after every 3rd wither I'd refresh it. This would give a 1.5 sec before the buff would fall off from the default time on the tool tip. Then I thought, now that won't work, because I need to watch the stacks as well. Now against slower hitting bosses this idea would work since they shouldn't be hitting fast enough to use all charges. But this idea won't work against multiple targets or fast swing timers a boss may have. So I'm a little lost on how to fix every thing to not only try and make it easier on my self, but free up my time to watch what needs to be watch and not acting like a buff bar watching hawk. My only solution that would be make my life, and I would guess many others as well, is if you had buffs longer than 1 min hard locked to the player frame and a separate bar that you could customize on what temp buffs you want to watch for and in what order they would appear. One of the headaches I've always had with the way tracking worked in this game is that your buffs move all over the place during combat. So glancing at your the buff bar is not always a quick glance when you have to hunt for it. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
  11. Yeah, it's a glitch. Pretty sure it says "USE YOUR SHIP TO TRAVEL TO..." Can't be a glitch if it tells you to do it a certain way and you ignore it.
  12. To be fair, and honest, you do tend to over explain things. Not trying to down grade the work you do or any thing. But you remind me of this guy in my guild that when he asks a question, he asks it, then explains where the idea of the question came from. Then what he thought or believed to be the answer. Then ask the same question again. by the time he's done talking you've forgotten the question he asked originally. In a way I see you in the same light. Not that it's bad, just a lot more information than what is really needed.
  13. This right here is why I don't pug HMs on my tank. No matter how perfect I play I can't carry a bad healer. But I can get on my healer and carry a tank that couldn't tank themselves out of a wet paper bag. This game is kinda unique in that way. They've made healers much stronger in their roles than they've made tanks. And partially, I suspect, because tanks need more of certain skills that healers and DPS only need some of.
  14. http://imgur.com/WsCEXER It's old, but I haven't changed my UI in almost 5 years. Now that I look at that a few key binds are slightly different. My guard is bound to my mouse button 3. I also put half my keybinds on my Naga Razor which puts the numpad at your thumb. Sorry for the old link before, I didn't know it made you login to see the image. It's fixed now so you should be able to see it.
