Haha, there are still maps and stuff in the game that have the Dev Code Lines as the name.
Reminds me of the lamps in WoW being called Fidgets forever.

He's not in the guild anymore anyways. Couldn't handle the sexual harrassment.
I thought we had a ton of heals. I see people saying they're healers all the time in guild chat, and I ran a FP with like 3 other healers from GAF the other day.
But if we really do need more heals, I'll level my Sage as my main instead of my Gunslinger. I am a bit attached to my Gunslinger since it was my first, but the Sage does feel significantly more capable as a class.
I'm slow though so I don't know if I'll hit 50 anytime soon.
Lots of people are. I'm running it on a 580 even though fraps tells me it's always at 60, something is definitely off. It's pretty annoying actually, I'm wondering if Bioware has acknowledged it?
Level what you want! We'll live.
I'm a healer, but I'm just not digging post-50 PVE stuff.

PVP.. Level 10 Jedi Knight with no advanced class did more damage and survived longer than my first 35 levels in Operative.

Lolz, im going to start a tank up today seeing as Azura is a Darth and not really going anywhere fast.
Only for Republic. Empire has it easy enough.

This is gonna sound so noobish, but are you binding all the keys on your second row? I figured there would be a default like hitting shift then a corresponding number key like in wow, but that hasn't been the case.

You've gotta go and bind them yourself. Second row is Action Bar 2, iirc.
Yeah, the situation is really bad :\

Shiny Floors, the MMO
Doesn't help that I feel useless (healing scoundrel). Maybe it will change when I hit 50.
If someone does more healing than me (mando), it's usually scoundrel.
I outheal you sometimes at low levels! Does the game rank up your abilities as well, or just stats?
it does

They're using a bad trick. It does not mirror properly. They take a snapshot of a general portrait of the room and add some texture maps for effect.

Yes?
Asking the important questions. I've clicked him so many times hoping to hear this
You can solo those without stealth pretty easily
Is that so.. must be some repub hijinks, since I can solo easily the h2 boss but the h4 boss is a bit too powreful for me still. With a few gear upgrades I should be able to kill him since I got him to around 30%.
Different quests maybe? There are 2 H4s and 1 H2 on Belsavis for dailies, we've got one H4 that is an instanced area where you click on 4 little hubs, and there are groups of mobs you can partly avoid, and the rest you can just train out (or use the WZ queue exploit) to avoid. The other H4 is just flat out broken. you go click a glowing pile of trash, 3 NORMAL mobs spawn, you kill them and you leave.
Same. Not having much fun repeating the same quests over for daily commendations, and it doesn't seem like we need a Vanguard tank so I started a Gunslinger.
Well, yeah. Our H2 has a champion boss at the end, 150k hp but hits like a wet noodle so you can easily solo it with tank gear and a healer pet.
The soloable H4 has you click on three objects in a heroic zone so you can't do it without stealth or dying a lot.
The last H4 has you kill a champion boss with 170k hp. He hits for 2-3k so you need to have a proper healer or two heal pets. Or maybe both the player in epic tank gear and the healer pet in epic heal gear...
I'm usually top healer except when there is actually a level 50 healer on my side. But I don't really feel like I contribute much toward the objectives unless I'm healing a ball carrier or maybe if I tip the scales in a fight on the turret wz.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
No, what I mean is when I spent the 5k I was low level and it was lot of money and I was disappointed I only got 1 extra row. Now I'm level 36 and only have about 70k credits so I wouldn't want to spend more than half of what I have if I didn't end up with much more storage space.
However I just did a little math and it's actually the same price. Inventory slot - 10 spaces for 5k or 500 each. Extra cargo hold - 80 spaces for 40k or 500 each.

Actually they are working on creature mounts according to one of the interviews I read on Reddit. I think it was the community manager who said it. He just said it was more complicated than they thought so it might not be soon but they do want to add them.
Creature mounts are pretty iconic.
EDIT: Poop I was wrong, I found the interview, all he said was "maybe".

I'm not really having an issue with the Empire vs Republic WZ's on our server..
Republic seems to win a consistent amount when I play.

Trust me, if you are doing a good amount of healing, you are helping more than most people do. The game is just shitty about recognizing it. The medals aren't "smart", meaning it doesn't recognize that healing/tanking the people who do the objectives is just as important as doing them.
Well, I think I've finally gotten to the point where people start being a jerk to the tank on every wipe. Two DPS say 'it'll be fine, I can off-heal' and neither of them does (without a dedicated healer in the group), they pull instantly on every mob, neither of them know which guys they're marked to CC. We wipe, I'm blamed. Hell, I'm only 26 and already completely put off of doing Heroics and Flashpoints. Doesn't help that keeping AOE threat this early on a Juggernaut is such a bitch. Also doesn't help that I am by no means an MMO veteran, I played Warcraft for about a month and a half to get up to 80, doing dungeons along the way until people started being assholes there too. I know just enough to be dangerous to myself, I think. I don't feel that I can give them advice on what to do since I have no idea how to play any of their classes.
Some pointers:
-just tank the elite(gold) or strong(silver) mobs and ask for CC
-if DPS breaks CC and they die, say they deserved it, if the group wipes because of it, say they're idiots
-if someone says they'll heal, hold them up to it
Thanks for the tips, I got into this MMO thing pretty late and diving in head first isn't super easy. Your first point is pretty much what I've been doing, and it works out as long as the CCs go well. I don't have a problem calling people on their shit, but since it takes so long to find groups, it just makes it kind of frustrating. I don't want to sound like it's been all negative, I've had some great groups (one in particular while doing Athiss), but man, lately it's been garbage wall-to-wall. I'm having a little bit of difficulty when there are a bunch of elites that are a little more spaced out than I'd like, but I guess that's what CC is for.
I have to imagine it'll get easier at some point, since I'll have my group taunt and sweep instead of having to rely on the single taunt and Smash.

Read: "We don't want to do non speeder mounts because animating creatures would take too much time, we would have to do animations for each of them instead of just having the character float around, and they'd be a novelty since the majority of them wouldn't be able to go as fast as a speeder and the player already gets a 30% speed buff."
