Congrats on 50! How did you get the abilities on the side on the side of your screen?

In preferences, ui customization, "add bar to left/right" (I think I'm at work now)

Excellent! I'll look into it when I get home. Thanks!

Warzones need level brackets like now. Tired of getting all these lowbies in here that can't really do anything to contribute because they're just fodder for the other team's higher levels. Likewise, I'm sure they're tried of having to face higher levels as well.

Agreed. On my server, there's an influx of Republic PvP, but the Empire has been running premade after premade. Unless I can get my server's best of the best together on a fluke, the Republic just gets roflstomped as their teams consist of level 10s and 20s. And because of the way commendations are awarded, the Empire is gearing up faster. I've been lucky this far to not have been fucked by the RNG and have half my slots filled with Champion gear within a week's timespan.

Sucks even more since I've apparently been identified as public enemy number 1 by the premades. They will go straight for me unless I have some people that I know are worth a shit backing me up. Sages only have so much CC that they can dish out at a time.

Needs more cross server PVP as well. I can't do shit when I face some of our premades from the Empire. I see them and just get face stomped. One of the sith assassins that does nothing but pvp can usually take out 2-3 of us normal people. Oh, and Sith/Jedi are so fucking annoying with their leap and fucking stealth mid pvp. Such bull shit.

You don't. At least not until you get 400 and make some epic stuff <_<; I haven't even bothered trying to make money off it yet. Still need to wait til I hit 50 so i can get some of the mats from level 50 instances for making some of the stuff that I can make.

Is there a better way to see when you get a proc? I play a Jedi Shadow and a lot of my rotation consists of waiting for certain buffs to proc, but it's a pain having to take my eyes off the action to see how/if I have any stacks of a certain buff. In WoW you could get the popup text over your character when something proc'd, but I couldn't find an option like that scrolling through the options. Anyone find anything like this?

[Abandon]

I don't know, but if you find out, you better let me know. My shadow is 33 and I love him to death, but god, let me know when shit is ready, eh?

[AidenCarby]

I know it's early but I'd love fucking playing as a Jawa, I can't be the only person who feels this way lol.

It's part of the terrible UI that has no visual queues. You're stuck staring at your action bar instead of your surroundings as much as you'd like.

Annoys the shit out of me. But not as much as the shitty AH.

I'm fucking loving BH. Death from above and Flame Sweep is the best. Story is lacking but still on Act 1. Hope it picks up afterwards.

Act 1 was kinda meh but Act 2 is pretty good so far(not even sure if I'm still on Act 2 <_>)

Some have visual cues, for Sith Sorc at least. The Force Lightning proc has a big visual cue but the Affliction crit proc doesn't, but it's not as important.

They just need to add them to the Scrolling combat text, or put cues for every proc.

Put it on the big list of stuff that needs to be added when the important people get back from holiday.

Story of my life right now. Every decent Empire group I've gone up against lately has made it a point to throw 6 people on me whenever possible...not sure if I should be annoyed or flattered atm.

No, fuck cross server pvp. Yeah it sucks getting rolled by some premades occasionally, but I'd rather that than be always stuck with randoms that you have no idea of their skill level since you've never seen them before and never will again. Not to mention that you'll just be giving yourself the chance to face MORE premades, instead of less.

Also, learn your classes. Assassins/Shadows aren't the only class with vanish, and they're not even the most dangerous stealth class. (Hi2U Operative/Scoundrel)

Any good databases for TOR? I know there is torhead but that site is pretty lacking in a lot of information.

[Ohemgee]

darthhater.com has an active DB and forums.

Also, I'm completely splurging on Sith warrior heavy armor. Taking my enhancements off my ugly shit head gear and putting it on robes and shit is so worth it.
