Getting that damn adegan crystal is pretty fun, actually.

Healing Foundry's HK-47 as a 31 Merc. Holy shit. I think I'd have an easier time healing Dragon Soul Heroics from WoW.

31? damn i healed it when I was a 37 merc and it was hard as hell, but that was with a 35 tank that I think was in 32ish gear. I can't imagine trying to do that at 31.


And i would like to take a moment to plug:

Its friendlier and cleaner than alternative DB sites, and its only run by 1 guy right now. i'm definitely supporting this site over the others.

Does anyone know what the fuck augments do

? the items? There's gear (usually blue) that have augment slots on them. It's the same thing as all the other item mods.

[Trichocyst]

When you craft an item and get a high quality result it can have an augment slot. That's where they go.

Nice little empire datacron guide someone in my guild put together, it is in PDF format and has links to videos of all 68 datacrons (imperial fleet secret one) and how to get them

I wish I could castrate whoever thought it would be a good idea to let 50s be in the lower bracket. Honestly.

The Summit: The difficulty of the encounter with Sidone has been reduced.

/cheer. I've just done this fight and ended up having to bring my friend with me, rather than soloing it as I have every other consular mission. Even with a pimped out lizard, as a Sage spec'd for healing this fight was an utter nightmare. I couldn't keep him alive or I couldn't keep myself alive with healing support, long enough to dot/kill her. Freaking awful for a solo healer. Yet brought my Shadow friend in and he annihilated her...

I'm on a PVE server but I am doing a fair amount of the PVP games. Only from around 30 did I feel like I was getting somewhere. But I'm still getting utterly annihilated by level 50s. I kinda cheer when we see 1-2 of the famous PVP players in our team. Most of the time the teams are full of 10-20s who are learning and refuse to work together. Occasionally you get amazing matches where things are balanced and they're enormous fun. I got pissed with some guy whining in the ops channel that we had no healers. I pointed out that if you abandon your healers and the other team are taking them out at every opportunity, you're going to have a problem. I am of course a healer. One which was being systematically wiped out by 3-4 players.

Other games are great fun where you can attach yourself to a savvy dd or tank and screw over the opposing team with enfeebles etc whilst keeping someone going for as long as possible.

I've mostly duoed this far with a friend and we're having a great time. I think our levelling speed is going to drop off now but at 34 that's not too bad. More people are learning to use the AH now which means sales are picking up. I do find it weird I get a notice telling me that I've sold something and I'll get the creds in an hr.

Putting some time and effort into your companion really helps. As a Sage spec'd for healing my lizard kicks butt and enables me to do stuff I couldn't otherwise do.

One thing which irritates me is that so far I haven't found any way of sneak/invis except if you have stealth as a class ability. Which means endless aggro, even if you're careful. Also speeders don't guarantee your safety and there are times when you just wanna go from A to B without fighting through. I may have missed something though.

Hey all, I'm lv47 now and I'm about to start an alt. A big problem I faced later on around lv45 or so was being too low for my current "assigned" planet. I soon found out I missed out on bonus quests on Alderaan, Tatooine, etc. Is there a broad leveling guide anyone of you would suggest? I just would liek na idea of what planet offers bonus quests at what time. Thanks!

[Ezek]

Bonus series for Republic:

Taris
Nar Shaddaa
Tatooine
Alderaan
Balmorra
Hoth

In that order. I'm fairly certain that all of them unlock after you finish your main class questline on that particular planet, but I may be wrong.

Belsavis also has a bonus series but that's for level 50's.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Ah, I'm Empire, but thank you!

What fight is that, the Aldaraan class quest?

[Eldelphia]

What fight is that, the Aldaraan class quest?

Yes, the fight you do as a Jedi Consular against Master Sidonie as the conclusion of the consular quest on that planet. I love Alderaan as a planet though.

34ish gear thank you very much!

Did HM BT last night. Was fun blazing through it.

If Sidone is getting nerfed, then nerfs for Stark and First Son are inbound.
