Is this an item added in this patch? I think they made it so new items wouldn't be addable to collections until the patch following them being added. Presumably to increase their value short-term?

Yeah, it was just added because of the gree event with the latest patch. If that's the case then that's great and I don't mind waiting I just must have missed that part. Thanks.

I have submitted two tickets about it (The second more clarified since they sent me an automated "Make sure it is in your collections. This is how you add things to collections." reponse) and got the same canned response twice in a row now. From the latest patch notes, note the bit about the Collections unlock. quote:A new vehicle is available on the Cartel Market for a limited time!

Fathis Munk posted:There is an option hidden somewhere that makes comparing mods in oranges a bit less of a hassle but it still feels needlessly complicated yes. I usually just make a big updating run at the end of a planet. I love the oranges since it's a way to find a style you like and to avoid the "more powerful but also more ugly" dilemma. Yeah I forget where it is but when I hover over an orange the pop-up window shows all the mods in it and their stat breakdowns. It's really drat useful and should probably default to on. As far as oranges go, hell yes I love being able to decouple stats from looks. It's a little more cumbersome here than in some other games, but I found the most awesome Darth Vader mofo suit and am going to wear that sucker forever on my Juggernaught.  e: Check out the Sith Champion's gear on Tor-Fashion, that is Darth Vader as hell and I am just waiting to be able to equip the last couple pieces.  Reveilled posted:It is a little different of course if you don't have a Cybertech though because then you might not have enough commendations to fill out your gear, but if you don't have a Cybertech and you are a subscriber my personal opinion is that you should go train your current character in Cybertech right now because levelling becomes a breeze, and if you don't have Cybertech because you are free-to-play you either do enough tedious grinding of heroics and stuff that you should have the commendations you need, or you probably don't have a full set of oranges anyway making it cheaper to kit them out. Note to self: Make second character a Cybertech. Maybe Operative? Stealth for easy questing and heals for FPs/raiding... WarLocke fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jun 2, 2013 |

Compared to Release/Beta, companions suck. At least on your first character, you can expect them to die more often than not. It's annoying, and I hated my first character and hated companions on it. Once you get a good 100-200 presence they're pretty good, and one of the people in the guild I'm in has every class at 50 and the human buff, 500 presence total, and while leveling with him on a new character, the companion could basically solo same level heroic mobs groups.

My biggest gripe about companions is I really wish there was more control over what they're doing in combat. So many times I'm focusing on killing minions and Jaesa will be loving about with some champ and then running over to another random mob and starting on that one.

They have a basic 'attack' button (first one on their bar) you can use to force them to change targets, granted that's a bit clunky. Also, the Sith Warrior's Act 3 is pretty drat awesome so far (I'm only to Belsavis). I've amended my Juggernaught's 'headcanon' to be that she was a 'normal' human until Baras/Draahg dropped a cave on her, which hosed her up Vader-style and with no kolto/bacta tank on her ship Quinn and company had to fix her up with cybernetics. poo poo is getting real now.

My very first character was a Scoundrel and I never had any problem leveling, just disregard every ranged skill, get a tank companion to hold the enemies attention and blast them in their back at every opportunity (Well knife them in the case of an ops). When they turn on you, sock 'em in the balls, run in their back and blast them again. One thing I liked was the fact that you had to stay pretty mobile during fighting to pull off all your backstabs. Also Scoundrel>>Operative because a single Blaster is the most fashionable way to murder people.  I'm actually wondering about leveling a Powertech to get that sweet sweet single Blaster style again. I was really disappointed by the goofy "cross my arms to shoot" mercenary animations. The only thing stopping me is that the character I played most on recently was also Imp side and that would mean a lot of repetition. Do blaster rifles look really interesting at some point ? I've always found them to be the most boring weapon category. Stan S. Stanman posted:The stealth leveling seemed faster with my shadow than my scoundrel due to force speed, but that was pre-rocket boots days.

Not only they do not break stealth you can sneak with the Op or whatever the Assassin one is, then activate Rocket Boost while stealthed and go 110% stealthed and fully undetectable. It is simply wonderful

By default this is ctrl+1, which is what I use to start fights with melee companions as well. If I'm ranged, my first attack hits, my companion goes 'oh right, fighting!' and has to run into the battle for like 10 seconds. If I press ctrl+1 before hand, they get there at the same time as my Crushing Darkness finishes channeling or whatever.

I should really pick up my scoundrel again and get her to 55 but she's on another server so not on the legacy I started upgrading. What wouldn't I give to just play an Op with a blaster instead of a rifle. Is Assassin fun to play ? I'm actually not a huge fan of lightsaber wielding classes, I play them from time to time but I just find that playing "normal" people in a universe of super space monk messiahs is much more interesting (Also killing the big evil Sith by sucker punching him after having kicked him in the balls is completely rad.)

It would make more sense to be honest for them to start when you channel.

I just finished Sith Warrior Act 1 Light Side and I have to say, it's awesome. KOTOR III would have probably been significantly better than the Jedi Knight storyline, but this format allows for a lot of variety in the storytelling. I love that both the Sith Warrior and Trooper lines aren't "Fate of the galaxy in the balance" tales.

So to anyone who has played a lot (most ? all ?) of the story lines, which one are pulled of best ? I often hear that the agent story is particularly great and that's one of the reasons I started a sniper a few months ago. I kinda liked some parts of the smuggler story especially when you find a treasure aboard an old ship orbiting a black hole or something like that, been a while since I played my scoundrel but it somehow lost my interest when I reached Hoth. Then again maybe Hoth was the problem.

Warmachine posted:I think it is because grouping has gone the way of dinosaurs and disco. Controllers and other 'support' classes are for team based play, and the EQ model MMO has been moving steadily toward solo play as late as the release of WoW in 2005. A few games are starting to make it easier to group by scaling character levels based on zones (Guild Wars 2), 'sidekicking' (Champions), and other QoL improvements, but as best I can tell, this is the exception, not the rule.

Done em all except Smuggler, I enjoyed neutral with a touch of evil Agent the most. Light Side Warrior was also fantastic. Full dark side Inquisitor is the most comically evil thing in the game, the story can be a little weak at times but the ending is a good payoff.

Fathis Munk posted:So to anyone who has played a lot (most ? all ?) of the story lines, which one are pulled of best ? I'm just past Hoth myself as a Smuggler, but what's keeping me going is the villain being Vinnie Jones in Space. If the guy was a sith he'd be like Brick Vader from Snatch Wars. So far I've done an Agent, Warrior, Inquisitor and am up to 40 on my Smuggler, and personally I thought the Agent and Smuggler stories are equally good and incomparable due to being different genres, and liked them both more than the sith ones, and liked Inquisitor more than Warrior. EDIT: To clarify I played all basically the same way, which was mostly light side. I greatly enjoyed the Inquisitor playing it as "I hate the sith", taking lightside actions mostly but taking dark side options if it fucks over the empire without hurting anyone other than bad people, which works pretty well with the ex-slave background you have. Still lots of opportunities to electrocute people because a shitload of people deserve it. Reveilled fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Jun 2, 2013 |

My personal story rating is something along the lines of Agent = Smuggler > Inquisitor > Warrior > Consular >>> Bounty Hunter >>>>> Trooper Agent and Smuggler are both really, really good - Agent wins out slightly because Jo Wyatt's voice makes me swoon. Inquisitor is probably the best dark side story (ruthless pursuit of personal power). Warrior falls off a lot after chapter 1, sadly. The consular story tries to do something different and gets more interesting after the first chapter. That chapter is quite boring though. Bounty Hunter has some cool setpieces and lines, but overall I found it to be thoroughly uninteresting until the last 20 minutes or so. Trooper starts strong, but falls completely flat rather quickly. The end boss is some dude you never even met before and the final victory celebration/speech is a complete disappointment. It's a shame they wasted Jennifer Hale on that, but I guess they just had to typecast her as low-rent Shepard. As for alignment, non-force classes are best played without thinking about Dark/Light. Just choose what fits the character you have in mind. Headcanon and all that. That goes for Jedi/Sith too of course, but going full light/dark on those feels more natural.

Sombrerotron posted:I would really hope that, at some point, BioWare will implement a City of Heroes-style exemplar mechanic (not sure if that's in Champions as well, but if it's got sidekicking I would expect so), so that grouping with a lower-level friend isn't almost completely pointless. Teaming with a friend on a regular basis is just too impractical unless you both agree to only use a particular character for the purpose of playing together, but I feel that shouldn't be required to begin with. That's pretty much the reason I don't do group leveling. I tried it, once, back at launch. I made the mistake of making my main a part of the leveling pact though. Pretty soon I was 10 levels ahead of them because I PVPed while they had a severe allergic reaction whenever someone mentioned the idea of PVP. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was City (in fact, we all had played City together), but despite all the stuff SWTOR had for grouping, it really punishes you for trying to do more than pick-up groups.
