Hey Dahak! The AT Republic guild is ridiculously geared in PvP now, so that WZ was a bit one-sided...
From what I gather, this is by far the easiest operation and is merely a 'training mode'.
I don't find LI HM difficult anymore, now that I learned the fights. The last boss can be rough depending on the DPS.
Most people already know itemized Columi is better than Rakata Stock, but I'll so go so far as to say Itemized Tionese is better than Rakata Stock.
With that said... I am sure EC SM is going to be very difficult for us because only 3 of us in the entire guild 'theory craft' and mix and match mods.

The rest of the guys leave everything stock and as much as I'd like to help them out, I don't want to tell them how to play their chracters. I try and nudge them in the right direction, but we are casual... So, I don't want to start turning the guild into 'have this, or you can't come' type deal.
KP SM is directly comparable, Karraga himself is easier then most of the bosses in EV.
First boss in LI HM is rough depending on the group makeup. If you have Merc/Sorc/Sniper for your dps then he isn't bad at all, if you have Operative/Marauder/Assassin for your dps it makes it quite a bit rougher.
This holds true up to a point, when you start doing some of the bosses in HM ops, and particularly HM EC or either of the first bosses in nightmare mode, Tionese gear won't allow you to survive to heal no matter how well you have it itemized(well, unless you get Rakata level mods and put them in Tionese gear which is no different then having Rakata gear).
EC SM is harder then EV or KP HM. I know Bioware states that wasn't there intent, but it is how it is. If you have DPS that can't crack 1K normally, they shouldn't really be going into EC(unless you have some Marauder pulling 1.6K that can offset them).
you guys stick to the columni only for feet and gloves, right? Augmented head, chest, legs, belt and bracers add far more advantage than the unaug "advanced" stuff with their 2nd bonus.
Just spend comms on those pieces, rip out the mods, and toss them on augmented orange gear. I wonder what will happen, though, with 1.3, now that we can aug waist and bracers and, perhaps, feat and gloves?
Damn, I logged in for the first time in about two weeks courtesy of D3 and the AH on Daragon Trail is barren. There wasn't a single epic companion gift up and only a page of bioanalysis mats available. Looks like everyone's still honeymooning with Diablo lol.
Same experience. People who are not moving over will have to eventually IMO or be stuck on an empty server that will more thank likely get shut down.Transfered off of Kathol Rift to Canderus Ordo. Went from an average of 10 people on the fleet at any given time and 2 - 4 hour PVP queue pops to a server that had over 280+ on the flleet from the time I logged in (6:00pm) to the time I logged out (12:00am EST). PVP queue is usually instant pop and when it is not, it is only a minute or two wait, at most.
This cleverly disguised server transfer was merely a consensual merge. I'd hate to be sitting back on Kathol rift in a few days. Anyone who didn't transfer is truly playing a single player game. Although I would argue it was already a single player game on that server. Now it will be worse.
I wonder how long before they close down these ghost origin servers?
Regardless, my entire guild is very happy. Although, after playing with 10 people on fleet for the last 3 months, going to a server with 280+ is OVERWHELMING! I needed a mental break.
The GTN actually has items on it! I couldn't believe there are BH player crafted items on the AH. Columi too! On Kathol Rift we didn't have anything greater than the L49 crafted implants, ear pieces, gear, etc...
People do play still but we were spread out over too many servers after the population had a good drop rate.My roomates just started playing swtor and I am thinking about getting back into it but I noticed there's only 2 high pop servers and 1 standard pop in the west coast and about the same for east coast. Does no one not play the game anymore?

It could, I think there's only so many people willing to pay to play [these days] and that market is already highly saturated courtesy of WoW and other legacy titles.
I'm curious what kind of limitations they might put on free to play, maybe you could only complete up to Chapter 1 of your story or only level up to 20, only use one of your companions, etc. As it is I'm not sure how many immediate applications of a typical 'cash shop' there would be. All the cosmetic changes are already built into orange gear really, though I guess they could offer race changes, faction changes, name changes, that kind of thing.
Sounds like this is their response to GW2.This game is gonna go the ways of free to play.
