I always wanted to make a guild called "Fleet Repair" and have everyone AFK'ing in various parts of the fleet at all times using the /repair weld animation on various things. That emote never ceases to make me laugh...a few of my friends and I would use it in flashpoints when it was the 3 of us and one random person, we'd often get confused "uhh whats going on?".

Red Crown posted:SWTOR hasn't been afraid to touch on some hardcore issues. The trooper storyline on Ord Mantell has the rebels kidnapping children, drugging them and forcing them to fight. I think that's just a general Ord Mantell quest, as I got that on my Smuggler too, but that doesn't seem to really be the same thing. I'm not offended or anthing, but I was simply surprised to see actual "extermination factories" and gas chambers and such showing up in the game. I mean yeah, it obvious when you think about it that the Empire does this, it's just that if there's anything you'd expect a writer to shy away from fictionalising, it'd be the Holocaust.

The Empire in the movies were largely inspired by the Nazis, and things like blowing up Alderaan and exterminating the Jedi could be seen as pretty blatant Holocaust allegories. Star Wars was never afraid to shy away from the "dark side" of human nature, it's kinda what it's all about.

Place Ad Here posted:Not really, it requires paying attention. I had a brain fart- SM Terror really isn't bad now that I've run it a few times. Its actually pretty simple as a healer. Tanks and DPS have it much harder (but I imagine once you do it once or twice it sort of sticks with you). I feel like mechanistically I'm getting better at the heals- most of the stuff you mentioned makes sense and is close to what I try to do (Dark Heal is pretty dinky). I guess I just need to spend more time on Adonnta running low risk stuff like HM flashpoints so I can get the muscle memory down and figure out how I want to optimize my UI/ rotation. I've just never done anything like any of this before so it can be pretty intimidating. EDIT: Thanks for that link- that's a really great resource and explicitly explains what needs to be done and when. I like seeing it all spelled out like that because it helps me internalize it better. wtftastic fucked around with this message at 21:02 on May 24, 2013 |

SM TfB is easy for everyone, even if you mess up it's forgiving. HM TfB is not.

Why are they adding content for the top couple of guilds on each server? Where is the content for non raiders from 0-49??! Whats with all the guild bonuses, some people don't like being in a guild and single play is only encouraged by the quest system! I find it unbelievable that crafters will now be able to craft 72 stuff, now people that have never entered a raid can get the top end gear! Now that fleet chat is unified won't we all get a lot more spam? Did biofail think this through?! hmm, pretending to be in the Bioware forums is hard. edit: Heres a real one from the Bioware forums: quote:Last 'free' content for subscribers was february.

Why aren't expansions content? Not trying to be facetious just trying to understand what you mean? I considered RotHC to be some pretty enjoyable content and now I'm wondering what I was thinking as I haven't played in a couple weeks.

So, I just met probably the dumbest pubbie in existence. Group finder at level 36 for a FP, and hey, it pops after 20 minutes. Our tank is level 35 Assassin, who says he just respecced to tanking and it will be his first time. We say it's fine, and we'll go slowly. The first group of mobs kill him. Not bosses or anything, just normal mobs. He makes an excuse so we move on. As we get to the first boss, he's already died 4-5 times, so I finally look at his equipment. Every item besides his lightsaber and helmet were level 10 greens - literally the same ones as you get as quest rewards on Korriban. So I asked why the hell he hasn't upgraded in 25 levels, and he says it's because he can't do anything besides PVP because his gear sucks, and starts bitching about how this game is terrible for not letting him get any gear that's any good.  pubbies.

Ah that makes sense I've been a sub for 6 or so months now and I always just assumed it was for all the character slots, credit cap, etc. Makes sense though I definitely understand the grievance.

So, what exactly is the benefit of playing a Warrior/Knight without an advanced class? You seem to miss out on a lot in terms of lacking a skill tree.

Samara posted:Double XP weekends are awesome. They should definitely be a recurring thing. What's the best way to take advantage of the upcoming one(s)? Should I try pushing my Juggernaught to 55 (if I'm not there by then, 33 now), or maybe start an alt? Double xp + legacy xp boost + 'normal' xp boost, does that all stack?

Yes, those all stack, but rested XP will not stack with the double XP weekend boost. And your best bet is getting one character to 55 first, so you can take advantage of the credits you can make at max level in order to fund your alts with things like advanced speeder piloting and so on.

I've got enough spare creds now I think I'm gonna buy a species off the GTN. I've only been playing for a few weeks so I don't have any unlocked yet. The correct answer is to roll a Sith Jedi and piss of RPers, right? HOTLANTA MAN fucked around with this message at 05:18 on May 25, 2013 |

No, make it a non-force sensitive character on either side. Sith Trooper/Sith Agent are the best. RPers will get mad over you not having force powers, since apparently every Sith Pureblood has them, in the eyes of the RPers.

Thumbtacks posted:SM TfB is easy for everyone, even if you mess up it's forgiving. HM TfB is not. Have they changed this since the launch of SM TfB? I only played it once, got up to the second last boss which we died twice pretty fast (we had no idea about the mechanics). Throughout it all though it seemed pretty tough (as a healer anyhow.) I'm not a fantastic healer or a hardcore raider, but I completed HM EC which felt about the same difficulty as SM TfB. What sort of gear would I need for it now to queue for SM TfB in group finder? I haven't played much on my main since 2.0, so my gear is full 63's. Would I need better than that? I just hope to complete the raid once just to see it.

I looted an Orange item during a FP, but I'm using a F2P account. If I buy the unlock (or just flat out sub) for wearing orange gear, will that item appear somewhere or is it lost to the ether? It wasn't in my inventory when I won the roll so I assume something with F2P interfered. Second question: is there any reason buy the expansion until level 50/end-game or whatever?

On a whim I went and played F2P as Inquisitor for a bit and decided that this was a game for me, subbed for 6 months because my dumb rear end didn't read this thread first and dived into "I get the most stuff for my money if I buy game time in bulk!" mode  That said, I'm having a blast. I keep finding new pleasing features as I go, and the class storylines with Mass Effect-style NPC chat keep things awesome, and coupled with the amount of mobs you can take on in one go really keeps the 'badass protagonist' feel going rather than the 'fantasy world janitor' feel from my WoW days. I'm not quite sure what server I'm on now, but I'll definitely hop over to join Thats No Goon once the transfer feature kicks in if I'm not on the right server. So is there any real equipment motivation to aim for the extreme Light/Darkside alignments? I found myself going darkside just to qualify for a badass lightsaber I found with L1 Dark requirements, and immediately found an equivalent neutral weapon in a questline. Kinda regretting some questchat decisions now, save for one gem of a class quest line ending: Thanks for the holocron, rear end in a top hat! It was hilarious watching your dad froth at the mouth for a bit before I lightning stabbed his head off. Laowai posted:Behold just one snippet of glory. Well done GM Gavin. I hope this guy is secretly a goon, lurking through this thread with steepled fingers chuckling contentedly to himself. The wife and I havent had this much fun with her watching me play video games since we got tired of Mass Effect. Hearing her chuckling whenever my Inquisitor lightning bolts some random rear end in a top hat and constantly wondering out loud when he's going to bone his master never gets old.

It's not different, but it's easier to gear up for. And yeah, the mechanics are a little weird, but you can just look them up. The thing about it is that for every fight there are mechanics that only the tank should care about and only the dps should care about. (I did end up accidentally grabbing a debuff the tank needed once on the TFB fight, which is why you pay attention to where you're going.) But honestly it's not that bad.

I was just doing PVP, and there was a level 54 operative who kept following me around (8 out of 9 of my deaths were from her) who was able to get me down to as little as 20% HP before even unstealthing on my screen. Is that normal, or just the infamous PVP lag everyone on their forums complains about?
