Seriously, can someone /spoiler tag the OP, please? Also, a lot of these notes I'm seeing are things they could have probably squeezed out in their weekly patches weeks ago. Not that I'm bitter or anything, just sayin'  |

"Wall of Text" is an understatement for those patch notes... In-game rewards will be available to players who participate on the Public Test Server. Players will receive a title if they attain level 10 on PTS, and another if they complete Chapter 1. Hmmm... |

So, it turns out that taunting when you have aggro increases your threat in SWTOR. Work taunt into your rotation, threat problems go away, apparently. |

That's what they believe, heh. Problem is, all the talent and tanking guides have been saying "Use your Taunts, Luke" since before release, so I'd guess people were already doing it, and still getting bad results.
They've moved some of the rather important talents around, and they're apparently changing the power curves (and caps?) for the secondary stats, so hmm, I guess we'll see what happens.

My main problem was I was taunting anyway. Apparently I'm terrible at tanking in this game. |

I wasn't using mine, I was assuming incorrectly they'd work like WoW taunts - they'd do nothing when you didn't have aggro. I have mostly been playing my gunslinger recently, I'll have to try tanking again and see if taunt spam helps at least solve the issues I was having personally.

Why the heck would they take an axe to BH/Trooper healers but leave Sorcs/Sages relatively unchanged?

They key word there is "relatively". Sorcs not only lost 6% dps and some crit (so less procs unless you change your gearing), they really took the bull's piz' up the marmite motorway with the healing changes. The hybrid dps spec is as dead as a can of spam unless you go higher in lightening and pray for LS to proc insta CL - but doing that you gimp your control. Sorc has no burst whatsoever now while still being subject to 6k+ HULK SMASH PUNY SORCERER from Juggs/Guards and Maras/Sents while at the same time having weaker healing and less control over their Force pool (without cutting their own throats, killing themselves). GZ tried to calm things a little by suggesting that there were certain "changes under the hood" that made extrapolation of the patchnotes actual effect on gameplay impossible to judge by - you know - reading the patch notes... "Like, really guys, it's not as terrible as it looks... honest." He may be right, but as I can't get onto PTS I have to watch the tears wash in while I cling to my orange crate and paddle for sanity. Lot of p.o.'d people in my guild on both the empire and republic side. |

The PvP gear outside of Trooper is not good, but I like the PvE gear. Smuggler's a little... odd and I really hope the other colors are better for Agent, but I like them.

Darth Hater has some highlights of the legacy perks. Looks like Legacy level 10 to unlock most of it, with almost all perks being available by 15. |

They probably have to patch in her legacy level.

Some clarification on the credits thing for broke folks like Sky. You're not likely to have any significant legacy levels if you just play characters in the 20 to 30 range. You only unlock legacy levels once you finish chapter 1 ( ~ level 30) with a character in the first place.
And let me make this clear, since there's some confusion about it:
The system allows you to unlock things EITHER via achieving the unlock condition (e.g. reaching chapter 2 in a specific class, reaching a specific PvP rank, etc) OR by paying credits. It is not both.
The credit option exists so players can enjoy content that they know they would never unlock in regular play (e.g. 'I'd love a pureblood Smuggler, but no way I'll level a Sith Warrior just for that').
Some things (like legacy class abilities) cannot be purchased with credits while other things can only be purchased (not unlocked) but are gated by legacy level (e.g. the GTN for your ship requires you to have a high legacy level before you can purchase it). |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Is it just me or do these two things seem contradictory? The system allows you to unlock things EITHER via achieving the unlock condition (e.g. reaching chapter 2 in a specific class, reaching a specific PvP rank, etc) OR by paying credits. It is not both.
Some things (like legacy class abilities) cannot be purchased with credits while other things can only be purchased (not unlocked) but are gated by legacy level (e.g. the GTN for your ship requires you to have a high legacy level before you can purchase it).
So if I want, say, a Chiss scoundrel, is it free because my legacy level is over 8, or is it that level 8 has unlocked it and now it is 1.5 million spacebux? Basically, what counts as "other things" vs. "some things" for that second explanation. |

I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but I thought it was:
Get Legacy to level 8. Additionally, either pay the space bucks or get a character of that race to level 50.
Edit: I guess it could be getting to level 50 unlocks that race regardless of anything else, or you could get to Legacy 8 and pay the space bucks.

Over and out.

Have to agree... those armor models outside of Trooper look horrid. WTF is the sorcerer get up doing with all the sickle stuff?

I think part of what upsets me most is that they're not even trying to make these outfits look even vaguely Star Wars-y. No one in any of the films looked as fucking silly as this, not even the senators or ambassadors or Queen fucking Amidala. And they especially didn't have to fight in it.
They're trying too hard to appeal to a WoW demographic with this crap. One of the reasons I left WoW behind (beyond how bad the game had become in general) was the distancing between my aesthetic preferences and the current dev team's. The appearance transmutation option was a welcome addition that came far too late but WoW has 7 years of gear history to fall back on. SWtOR simply doesn't have the range of gear to choose from and of course, there's only a tiny selection of OJ, moddable gear to tweak from that.
Silly fucking shoulderpads, all over again.

I love my TV an' hug my TV an' call it 'George'.

The two things I want to see:
Legacy bank (guild bank doesn't cross factions)
Character slots (8 more per server, thanks)
Some nice things in the quality of life dep't, but not a ton of meat. And the BH nerf. Happy to have (maybe) RE fixed and some appearance options.
