Thread: CU Game Mechanics [A Guide For Playing Post-CU For Those Who Weren't on Test Center]
Thanks for the work on this guide. I wasn't able to et on TC so all of this is totall y nwe to me. I am debating leaving, but not until I give the new changes a fair chance. I have a friend who is coming on board after ROW come out and I'd feel bad bailing on him..
Anyway, after logging on for the first time last night, I died in combat right off the bat. I was aggroed by four or five other mobs even before I started on my mission; but I also know it's because I don't know the new moves yet. I spent some time to reorganize my toolbar and add the new moves. I have a lot of questions, and this guide helps a lot, but one question wasn't addressed:
What do the icons next tour HAM and level do? I discovered you can click on them and change them. I have things like Crowd Control, Tank..Aer these different reaction types, like in KOTOR?
PS: Oh and I was insta-deathed too. I thought they fixed that?

Please help me with this question. Under those rules, how does a jedi expect to level given the critical nature of each death, and visability rules.
Sorry to tell you I' am a JEDi too and SOE don't like more JEDI on the servers! You have to group get killed by a BH cuz of VISIBILITY adn thats it ! take it or play KOTOR as simple as it sounds. Many Non-JEdi players on many servers whined about the JEDi this the JEDI that and well they won and we get the short end of the stick. If you and me and many Thousand others can't grind their JEDI nowa days just concider to Cancel and play a other game cuz they not gonna fix this insane system

The point is GOOD BYE SOE ! cya and you bet I never buy a other product from you guys not even a sticker. thats for sure
Just gonna write up a quick tip on grouping from my experiences last night.
Effective Group Selection
If you are planning to do some efficient grinding, try to have 3-4 tanks within a few levels of the group level. Healers can be of any level lower than the group level, and are definitely an asset. Ranged profs tend to draw aggro away from the tanks due to their high DPS. Thus it is important for them to have: a) stims, b) armor, c) medical skills, and/or d) healer support in case they get in trouble. Tanks should try to taunt creatures away from the ranged profs as quickly as possible if they are indanger. Knockdowns and roots (and to a lesser extent, snares) are also effective for buying your group some extra time when things get out of control.
If everyone in the group is about the same level, you should be able to handle missions a 2-or-so levels above the group level. If its a broad range of levels in your group, try doing missions 1-2 levels below group level so that you can move through the missions faster. For a big group, each lair spawns a TON of creatures, so you can often sacrifice xp per kill for ease of killing to earn xp at a better rate.
Nice Tips,
