Reveilled posted:I thought some of her dialogues were different depending on whether you were light or dark? She talked a hell of a lot about "reforming the empire" on my light sided inquisitor, I thought she talked about different stuff if you were dark? Nope. It's pretty clear when she's picked up she's supposed to have some sort of DS story or something but I think it must have been cut at some point late in production.

How is HK-51 as a companion? I was thinking about trying to start the deal to get him but not sure how it would go. I have a level 50 powertech BH that I shelved just before 2.0.

He tosses out unreal dps because he gets all of his moves which are awesome.

I'm thinking about maybe grabbing HK-51 when I'm finished my smuggler. But am I going to have to put up with constant annoying (-1 HK-51) popups every time I do something non-murderous if I level with him? I know it's trivial but I can't help finding that irritating. EDIT: Also, am I imagining things or do the final conversations for each companion sort of imply you'd be able to use them on other characters as a reward for completing their arcs? I know that's not currently possible, but the way every single one refers to your "legacy" in the final convo makes it seem like this was a planned feature.

I think getting HK-51 is worth it if you're an alt-whore and crafting-whore like me. I think all gear being equal, he's got a slight edge on other ranged DPS companions and he has a nice 1 hit kill move he can use every once in a while. However, if you have a companion in better than blue 51s, they'll out DPS him. To me, he's worth it just to have an extra companion while you're leveling for crafting, and for the +1 crafting critical bonus to whatever you have him do.

hobbesmaster posted:Nope. It's pretty clear when she's picked up she's supposed to have some sort of DS story or something but I think it must have been cut at some point late in production.  Companions were supposed to have multiple stories to go through. Vette was supposed to have her normal Light Side story and a Dark Side one where constant zapping would lead her to being less willful, and more of a violent character. The lines for this have been dug up, and confirmed by Devs! Only other confirmed characters for different stories (That I recall) are Mako (dark side becomes addicted to revenge/violence) and Ashara (becomes more like Dark Side Jaesa.).The other ones are more questionable on what the stories would be, but I'd assume most companions that weren't gotten on like Hoth would have them.

I would imagine the quest line being easier if I get my main to 55 before doing the flashpoint parts of the quest? Even at 55 one would still need to get a group for that one hard mode one?

Bioware was, once again, too ambitious, and what I assume was the massively growing costs of the VA's encouraged them to cut the companions down to a single story. So now you get things like Mako being fine with romancing someone who murders innocents for laughs.

I just hit 38 with a Jedi Guardian and my interest in the game is nosediving. Once you've saved a half-dozen planets, the prospect of saving another one leaves you a little cold (or plenty cold, since the next one is Hoth). I'm also annoyed that the game teases you with the prospect of going after the Sith Emperor, so you get the stealth technology required to find it and then... you get to play nanny saving unrelated people in unrelated planets. This is why you get your rear end handed to you, Republic! Priorities!  Does it get better?

Everything I've heard about the Jedi Guardian storyline is that it's very bland vanilla star wars fare (save planet, save planet, you are the CHOSEN ONE, save planet), with a similarly typical epic finale that's pretty drat awesome. So if you find saving planets boring then in a sense, yes, it gets better...once you finish Corellia? But I've never personally done Guardian so I'm talking out of my arse with third hand info.

The end quest of Jedi Knight Chapter 2 is one of the better moments in the game in my opinion, though it's also one that could clearly be much improved if it were not shackled to the MMO format.

The slow ramp up on the story also comes into play in the Bounty Hunter story. I found the later acts more interesting then the first one. Even more so on the conclusion of the story. Although I do wonder if all of the class stories happen at the same time or do events in one story happen in a sort of time line?

Well, understand that the class stories were an unmitigated disaster. 8 independent stories with a large amount of plot states and voice work in an mmorpg. The game only exists today because f2p was actually profitable.

Was talking to an old friend tonight after having just re-rolled on JC. he told me 2.2 is supposed to be bringing paid server transfers. Google led me here: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/367/feature/7403/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-Cathar-Update-21-Free-To-Play-.htmlquote:MMORPG.com: Are for-pay server transfers coming? If so, when can players look forward to this service? Can you talk about any additional for-pay services players can look forward to? Makes re-rolling much more appealing to me, since I know I can eventually bring my main over too. Took them about a year too long, but better late than never. This might be old news to many, but I wanted the other people who are waiting in the wings to hear about it too.

I'm playing through the imperial agent's story, just finished Hoth, and have enjoyed it immensely so far...but I am more than a little tired of grinding out levels (pvp or the generic planetary quests) so bosses don't crush me. The game would be so much better if it was not made to soak up a gargantuan amount of time on pointless nonsense which was most certainly done to "encourage" player retention.

I'm trying to treat this as mostly a single-player game, but I've hit the same roadblock. I managed to cheese my way through to Hoth on my Sith Warrior, and now I'm looking at a solid wall of red quests. I'm wondering if I should go back and quest, or try grinding warzones or flashpoints, or what. I just want to find out what happens next.

Hey I could use some help with the Collections thing. I bought a speeder and then paid the cost to unlock it for all my characters. So far so good and it shows up in Collections as being unlocked for everyone. But when I try to press the claim button on my L11 mercenary, it tells me I don't meet the requirements to claim this item. On the store page it says I need to be level 10. Both the original character that bought the speeder and the new alt are Imperial so I don't think it's a faction thing. What am I doing wrong?

So, I've found the one bonus to being addicted to an MMO instead of some other game - I can install it anywhere and play my 'saves', even when I'm spending a few days at a friends house. Loving my Agent still. Taris continues to be my favorite planet just for showing up Thana at every point in the planet quest. Even better since this is my first male character (I didn't know Vector was so cool - my guild said he was terrible and boring and 'literally worse than the cat', so I remade my agent to male) and I can flirt with her. Every time he flirts he sounds so smug. "Oh, you sent me a gift of hostile droids? How about we get dinner after I blow them up  "I want to make a smuggler next, but I've yet to play a Inquisitor/Consular, and feel like I should probably collect all the buffs before playing the mirrors. Something about shotgunning people in the back though..
