*gack* back after CU

I was gone for like a year.
I logged on and found the combat overhaul had happened and my
smuggler/tkm guy was completely not something I could play like I used to.
Nudfuh were wiping the floor with me.
I couldn't get ANY missions from the mission terminal that I could do by
myself.
I keep closing the respec window without using it because I don't have a
clue what to do right now.

What DO I do right now? It's like a completely different game. I can't
kill stuff like I used to. I don't want to group. I don't really like
PvP much but don't mind at base vulnerability times helping out and such.

But just to go kill some pve stuff something's gotta change. Any tips?

Any good place to suggest someone go to relearn the game or at least get
the Cliff notes version of the changes?

My main character is a TKM and I find the role as the main tank in a group
pretty fun. Keeps you on your toes so the braindead riflemen and whatnot
can flick their boogers at the mobs.
I have a different number of characters on the Tarquinas server, so feel
free to send me a cross server tell or mail with any questions you have.

tarquinas.maestro
tarquinas.narcisse
tarquinas.atva
tarquinas.zacharias

Oh yeah, we miss you over in ART. :-)

If you use XFire, I'm under the handle ofcchuckles.

RiffleMan and Master BH are the current FOTM templates. BH gives you a KD
shot and a dizzy shot, RM gives you a snare shot, Plus there are 2 cyborg
arms which will give you +25 to range, so from 60+ meters you can go prone,
sniper shot (very hard hitting), dizzy, KD and then sniper again

mmmm cyborg arms. I heard about them, and have now heard about them
again... but I've yet to SEE one. It's killing me. I wanna have one hehehe.

Do they show up as a graphic or are they so good you can't tell them
from the real thing (I wanna be able to see it)

This is why I left the game. As hard as it was to reach jedi, it was still
possible. So much has changed that it is "not" the same game. The game has
become a group playing game. Basically, if you are like I was, which it
sounds like you are, I only participated in the civil war when I did not
have to play PvP. I liked going off on my own for XP and I called for help
only when I couldn't do something without it. If you want to play with
friends, go for it. I will only return when the platform has been altered
again.

Sorry to sound so depressing, but that is the unfortunate truth.
