Raiding morale is a little low in the guild today; forays into the PTS have discovered that the next "tier" of gear consists of two stages, Black Hole and Campaign.
The former, Black Hole gear, comes from commendations rewarded from completing the new Corellia dailies and also from Nightmare Karagga's Palace (and presumably from somewhere in the new raid). This gear is a full step up from Rakata gear, which is causing a bit of a stir in the guild because this essential means that daily gear will soon be outclassing the current top-tier stuff. I agree that it's disappointing; I was hoping they wouldn't go the WoW route of completely invalidating the last patch's gear every new content update, but it seems that's their plan.
The Campaign gear presumably comes from Nightmare Mode of the new raid.
Also, Battlemaster gear in 1.2 will have no Valor Rank requirements, so I feel all that grinding I did on Lasix may have gone to waste. Just stockpiling WZ comms now. Might get BM gear for all my characters eventually.
In other news, our resident programming wizard, Ginnai, has already made some excellent progress on putting together some damage meters. Here's an example of what it looks like so far: http://www.viper37.com/img/SWTOR_dmg_2.jpg
