Cheers, guess I'll roll on Niman then.
Hey Wab, what's going on? I've yet to run into you or the Immortals on Belsavis or Illum.
Are you all afraid of the Lone Dark Immortal?
I've only seen a few of you in normal pvp warzone and well...they failed to live up to the name Immortals.
I'm easy to spot, no PvP gear on haha
a snack thats be all
a snack hardly worth the effort, and a bloody pink light saber to boot
, what you trying to kill us with laughter 
Many an "immortal" has been felled by the pink rod of power
Or at least bent over.

So, after getting a little excited a couple of days ago 
, then having a nice day yesterday, (which included finally sourcing a schematic for Hooligan's Headgear on the AH ) today has sucked once more.
Firstly there seems to be a new fashion for most of the Imp team to 'guard' one of the points in Alderaan, and secondly Bioware still haven't fixed the cover bug in Voidstar! The Voidstar one is the really irksome one tbh.

Can someone tell me the exact mechanics of what all these do?
Crit's obvious, and I can guess Accuracy. What about the rest?
Strength (Bonus: Jedi Knight/Sith Warrior) – Increases melee damage and critical strike chance.
Class Bonus: Force Damage and Force Critical.
Presence – Increases the effectiveness of your companion including, their health, damage, and healing.
Aim (Bonus: Bounty Hunter/ Trooper) – Increases damage and critical chance with ranged weapons.
Class Bonus: All advanced classes receive a bonus to tech damage and critical while Commando/Mercenary also gain a bonus to healing power.
Cunning (Bonus: Smuggler/ Imperial Agent) – Increases your tech damage and critical chance.
Class Bonus: All advanced classes receive a bonus to tech damage and critical while Scoundrel/ Operative also gain a bonus to healing power.
Endurance – Increases your maximum health and health regeneration.
Willpower (Bonus: Jedi Consular/ Sith Inquisitor) – Increases your damage and critical chance with force abilities.
Class Bonus: Shadow/ Assassin gain melee damage and critical bonus. Sage/Sorcerer receive an increase in healing power.
Expertise – Increases your effectiveness in PVP combat by reducing damage taken and increasing damage dealt when facing another player.
Secondary Statistics
Your secondary statistics include things like Power, Accuracy, and Surge which for the most part provide across the board benefits for attacks and heals.
Accuracy Rating– Increases the chance that any of your attacks will hit the target. Any accuracy over 100 percent will reduce the targets defense.
Power – Provides an increase in damage and healing for all abilities. There are also Tech, Force, and Healing specific power stats available on certain gear and modifications.
Alacrity – Decreases the activation time for all of your abilities both cast and channeled.
Surge – Increases the percentage of damage dealt and amount healed during a critical.
Critical Rating – Increases the chance of a critical attack or heal.
Defensive Statistics
Your defensive stats will tell you how well you’re going to fare when you end up taking damage, and include your armor rating and resistances/ reductions.
Armor – Reduces the amount of damage received from kinetic and energy based attacks.
Damage Reduction – The four types of damage reduction in the game are kinetic, energy, internal, and elemental. While all four can be increased by finding gear with those specific reductions, kinetic and energy are also bolstered by your armor rating.
Shield Chance – Any classes that are able to equip an off-hand shield will see this stat which represents the chance of that shield activating. You will also find an absorption rating, which depending on the shield, is how much damage it will take when activated.
Defense Chance – Increases your chance to avoid attacks all together. It’s broken down into four categories including melee parry, ranged deflect, force resistance, and tech resistance.
Class Bonus: Force Damage and Force Critical.
Presence – Increases the effectiveness of your companion including, their health, damage, and healing.
Aim (Bonus: Bounty Hunter/ Trooper) – Increases damage and critical chance with ranged weapons.
Class Bonus: All advanced classes receive a bonus to tech damage and critical while Commando/Mercenary also gain a bonus to healing power.
Cunning (Bonus: Smuggler/ Imperial Agent) – Increases your tech damage and critical chance.
Class Bonus: All advanced classes receive a bonus to tech damage and critical while Scoundrel/ Operative also gain a bonus to healing power.
Endurance – Increases your maximum health and health regeneration.

Thanks.
Was playing some pvp (hurt ball) last night with friends, Won 7 games in a row just cause we played as a team.
The Sith Sorc pull spell (where you pull them and reduce agro) is a god send in that game type, if the ball carrier gets knocked down just pull him back up to the goal line

Down again today?
Not so far, always check here for future down times; http://www.swtor.com/systemalerts
This has turned into a single player game for me, still in the mid twenties and the zones are nearly empty at the times I can play. I have 5 heriocs in my QL and dispite spamming LFG half the time, no one wants to help. I think a lot of the player pop has outleveled me.
I tend to out level an area just doing the solo quests anyway. Still stuck on Balmorra but only a few solos to go. Can't wait to get off this stinking planet.

This happens a lot, people just dont seem to want to group up. I have had it on many planets.
I think that they missed a trick with the social points - you should receive a standard amount for grouping and helping someone through a quest, say 20 or so for every heroic quest you help with and see though to completion. I know I would group more than once for an heroic if that was the case.
Why can I not spell heroic - lol - corrected!

Hi guys, I bought the game last weekend and enjoying it so far. I thought it might not run too well on my system (i5 760, 8GB ram, HD 5850) but seems to be absolutely fine and only seems to slow down in certain open areas or areas with lots of players - is this normal? Or would upgrading my graphics card to say a 6950 help? I left the graphics options all on their default settings which was everything set to high @ 1080p.
No that's about normal, running on a very similar system and the only time I really slow down is on the Imperial Fleet where there's a few hundred people there.
