I didn't see Straven there, was he hiding behind a tree or something?

group finder is annoying, keep getting replacements or our groups put in the wrong roles. It seems to have issue with hybrid classes and will automatically put them in a healing or damage role at random, even if they unchecked their box. Lose a healer, finds you a replacement who signed up for damage.....
We had a good run in ranked PVP last night...much better than earlier in the day. Afternoon we went 1-3 with a group we threw together.
Last night one VM group went 2-2, and mine went 7-3. The sweet spot seems to be at least two ranged DPS on the team...and holy wow at all the three healer teams. I am surprised at all the healer stacking. We absorbed a few from the group that only played 4 games, and then later on took in Trevin (HBroward) and Camlost. It was pretty fun.
I'm still very concerned for a month or two down the road as far as PVP goes, but last night really felt like an event. I was even nervous before the first couple. Gotta love that feeling when playing a video game.

Yeah, rated was really fun last night, even though I only got 3 games in. It's definitely a different beast then unrated for sure. The sorcs are still relatively squishy, but not 2 shot kill squishy. It's great having everyone geared out basically, really evens the playing floor.
Since Kinetic Shadows got nerfed and Infiltration got stealth nerfed in PVP (even squishier and I heavily relied on my rakata adrenals and relics for bursting/survival), I respecced balance and I'm loving it so far. The playstyle is a bit different and I'm still learning, but the combo of DOTs/self heals and a Double Strike that hits like a truck is pretty nice. I think balance is going to become the popular PVP build for 1.3.
I've been having this exact same problem. Even though I untick tank on the role selection list, if someone else in the group puts us in the LFG queue for something, it still assigns me as the tank.

Guildie who I was running the problem with was on the PTS using it same way and it wasn't doing it for him. I don't know if this is some new issue that popped up.
Anyways a patch is coming tomorrow I guess already for something.
I did the first 3 levels of WZ, Story Missions, and exploration on my Smug. I would of done more, but my Legacy isn't high enough. My goal is to just fill out the map and do the story missions while PVPing the gap between.
Not sure how much of a boost it is though. Better than nothing.
Interesting, but it still happens regularly on live?

I think for 1.2 that welcome back event happened on the Thursday of that release week. I'd like to think that they'll be doing something like that again tomorrow. They haven't said anything about one though.

Appears the patch has gone up anyway, seen people mentioning strange boxes on the fleet?
Haha, I love how around :25 some Jedi wanders through your raid on his mount from the left and exits right as if nothing was amiss.

Bit dissapointed we didn't do better after smashing the first 3 bosses into the ground.
It is overtuned shit tho as yooni always says, 1 dodgy rail shot or badly timed AOE attack from the walker just screws us up.
I know from a healing point of view what we need to do to improve (we weren't focusing on the tank dealing with Kephess nearly as much as we should have been)
Im confident we will do it tonight.
He was actually there the whole time watching us beat it, he just decided to try and distract us I think at that point.
We've only made it to the purple circle part one time. Small fuck ups here and there are killing us. Everything was so smooth tonight until we got the walker down to 4k and I look over and see one of our 3 snipers shooting at Kephess in the air. -_-

You can group find for any flashpoint upto the level your at, you also get commendations but I see loads of people on the fleet moaning about how it doesnt work and stuff
As well as the above. Might be waiting a while though if you aren't a tank or healer. Meaning questing or warzoning(with the perks) is probably quicker.

So new event rolling out today it sounds like. I guess it's good, unlike 1.2 this wasn't a big content patch with an event the same day. They needed to space that out that time, but this is good seeing how 1.3 didn't add anything content wise really.
It seems to mainly be happening if your in a premade group with friends before you queue up as a group, or if your in a group and need to find a replacement for your group if someone leaves.

i feel like the wall on the first stage of void star is the bee's knees...
Agreed. Games are much more interesting now.
Great change. Not as sure about the Civil War wall fix yet, but it feels pretty good after four or five games. The bottom route is slightly longer but has the speed boosts and you aren't forced to commit to movement. Unfortunately the base rule set for Civil War is still pretty uninteresting; I'd like to see them try to add another layer to this WZ somehow.
Why should you journal?
I personally use my journal to better understand myself, to organize my life, and to clarify what it is I want to
do on a daily basis. It has cut down on procrastination and distraction which has long plagued my life. I use
it to vent. I use it to catalog ideas I don't want to slip away from the passage of time. To come back and
reflect and either reanalyze or appreciate the idea or thought. I use it in an earnest attempt to come to a
better understanding of who I am and what it is I want to accomplish on a daily basis.
Choosing your journal
There are many types of journals and of course brands to choose from. I will list for you a variety options
so that you can hopefully find the one that works best for your needs.
Of the different types, there are:
- Spiral Bound
- Bound
- Leather-Bound / Traveler's Notebooks
- Baum-kuchen
- Midori Traveler's Notebook
- Rogue Journals
- Paperblanks
- ZLYC
You can find a variety at- Barnes and Noble
- Jenni Bick
- Custom made
- Pocket Notebooks
There are many other brands out there, but this should be enough to get you started.
Journals In Focus
Leuchtturm1917
Leuchtturm1917 are some of the most prevalent of the Journals in North America, along with Moleskine
and Rhodia. These are great ways to Bullet Journal. Nothing too fancy, but they get the job done well.

Midori Traveler's Notebook
As the name implies, if you find yourself going on a business trip, vaction, or if you just enjoy traveling this one
shines. It is highly customizable for a wide variety of needs. I really love the look of the leather, the refillable
notebooks and the plastic inserts that help organize life just a bit better. Reviews seem to indicate that the
paper takes to fountain pens just fine.

Field Notes
These are fantastic and non-intrusive little notebooks to keep in your pocket. The paper quality is variable from
average to stellar depending on the review. I use a Moleskine notebook to take with me when carrying my
journal is not practical. Great for quick and dirty notation.

Ways in which you can journal
The Bullet Journal
A Bullet Journal is progressively used from front to back custom fit as needed.
"At the heart of the Bullet Journal is a method called Rapid Logging. Rapid Logging allows you to quickly
capture and parse all the different types of data were trying to digest on a daily basis. This technique
provides insights that can help you identify whats important and weed out the things that arent. Figuring
that out will help focus your time and energy much more effectively. Its the difference between being busy
and being productive."
You could use this in such a way as to get yourself better prepared for things such as: keeping track of your
nutrition you've set up with help from the Nutrition Thread |OT|, exercise sets the Fitness |OT7| thread helped
you out with, or you could use it for things such as your Steam backlog or to better participate in the 50/50 thread.

Scription Chronodex
In the center of most pages you have this circle with wedges protruding from it that represent different times of
the day. You can attach your notes to these wedges to assign it a specific time of day or just to mark when
something happened. Every other page also provides an overview of the days of the week. The idea is that
breaking out of the confinement of the typical grid will allow you the freedom to plan in a more fluid way. If it
seems over-complicated, acknowledge that, and give it a shot. Not all brains are going to gather and parse
information in the same way.

Yes the Voidstar wall is such a good fix for that Warzone.
On an unrelated note, I'm working on my first Force-user - a Juggernaut - after getting my Scoundrel (heals) and Powertech (DPS) to 50. I have to say, PvPing so far as a tank has been the most fun I have had in PvP in this game, including obliterating people in like three seconds as LOLPyro. It's a really great mix of defense, control and mobility. I don't even have Backhand or the "invisible bees" shit yet and I feel like I have a ridiculous amount of control. Shame about the damage nerfs in 1.3 but I'm hoping they come back around for Juggernauts specifically since they were already lower DPS than the other two tanks.
So far everyone I've queued rated with dreads Voidstar. This may be because we only have sorcerer healers though. It's definitely guess right or get roasted right off the bat when defending.
