What am I missing about collections? I bought an Outrider Flight Jacket at some point, and it shows up as in my Collection. But the little icon that I thought you would click to dupe it/reclaim it/whatever just takes me back to the cartel shop where I guess I can just re-buy it?

I thought I'd be able to just keep duping it for my companions.

[e]Oh it says in the cartel market that additional copies can only be purchased with CC. What the? Why are some items reproducible but and others aren't?

It should be reproducible on the character you bought it on. A buddy of mine bought a speeder through the market and had a problem with not having a way to unlock it for his legacy.

I've purchased a number of things in game that had originally come from cartel packs and have not had any issues making additional copies or unlocking it for legacy. What should happen is once the item is equipped, the box in the lower left corner should look like your inventory icon with 2 arrows. If I go to a different character the item is lit up there also, but that box is replaced with a different cartel coin icon. Clicking that opens up an option to purchase it for my legacy for a certain amount of coins. Once purchased a new icon shows up saying it has been opened for the legacy and the money icon is replaced by the inventory one.

I've opened up color crystals, speeders, and an armor set to my legacy and haven't run into any issues yet. Maybe its an issue with the items that are purchased directly with cartel coins as opposed to what's in the packs?

I had one character i went pure lightside with (jedi knight, woo!), and a jedi consular i went pure darkside. Every other character i basically just choose the option that is either funniest or most useful to me at the time (dark side choice that saves you from having to do part of a flashpoint, for example). Ive enjoyed the stories more on the characters that werent locked in to a particular side. The relic thing is kind of dumb, but at end game it doesnt matter.

No, some items specifically state that even though they are in your collection, additional copies are only available from the market. I know from first-hand experience that the rank 7 offensive ship gear pack is like this; I bought it, equipped the gear and got the pack unlocked in my collections, but I cannot create additional copies or pay extra CC to unlock it across my legacy. It simply opens the market window where I can buy (at full price) another pack.

Why even have an entry in the collections window in this case?

This is true. My gripe isn't so much that Bioware writers have a different understanding of morality than I do, it's that their morality is not consistent. Maybe this is the case of multiple writers each projecting their own values into the same storyline, but some simple QA could have ensured some kind of internal storytelling logic. gently caress over the troopers in quest A = light side, gently caress them over in quest B = dark side.

The multiple writer thing is obvious. Whoever designed Hammer Station is sane - the choice is take prisoners at the cost of making your life harder or execute them to make life easier.

I was just in a quest with a few pals, and the Light/Dark consistency can flip flop between two whole conversion choices hilariously.

Some rear end in a top hat has been killing like a bajillion Natives for sport, he's got personal hunting droids and compares the people to wildlife. My bounty hunter is being paid to stop him.
Hmm, Darkside option is to NOT kill him because he will give me money, I like money-Oh wait the Light Side 'He must be stopped!' Teammate pick won out.

You are Evil if you work for the guy murdering your clients for Sport, and you are evil if you kill the guy murdering your clients for sport. I. That. :psyboom:

EDIT: The slightest fairness, work for him was Darkside while the "no gently caress him" had no Light side, it was just continuing the conversation. While the next step of "Kill Murderer/Warn Murderer" was Morality points either way. Still, what the hell.

Force Lightning is a strictly Dark Side ability, according to Star Wars lore, if I'm not mistaken.

FAKE EDIT: "Force lightning ability was not restricted to dark-siders. Jedi and other light-siders who were strong of will and character could learn this power without falling to the dark side—but its use was viewed as inherently corrupting, and most Jedi Councils forbade its use."

Oh, Sith Warrior light side :allears: Just finished chapter 1 last night and Sith Warrior LS Chapter 1 spoilers it pretty much exceeded my expectations. I kinda wish Jaeesa's reaction to my character's alignment would've been more dramatic though, but it was delicious irony that her master was a psuedo Palpatine covering his true alignment (Or did I accidentally just get him so emotional according to the story?). Is Jaeesa's reaction to you caused by your actions in the class story (sparing her master, etc.) instead of actual alignment score? Could I still have turned her in the end? Can I *still* do it? I doubt it. Kinda delicious though, I personally thought that she would be a powerful boon for my aspiring "Sith Lord" to make her plans for changing the Empire come through. Also, it bothers me Jaeesa starts calling the protagonist a lord/master right away with no reservations. I mean, I expected more... official acknowledgement. (Well, I guess the kneeling back on Nal Hutta was kinda one). I just expected something akin of "This really doesn't feel right."-thing.

I wonder if changing the Empire from within (or even creating somekind of refuge for decent folk or something) will pan out in any of the chapters. As :spergin: as it sounds, I'm reasoning my Sith light side characters (Sith Warrior and Agent so far) by this timeline video and the concept that if, for whatever reason Sith Empire would surrender this moment, there'd be way more casualties by a second massacre than there would be by keeping the Empire functioning "as it is"/changing it from within for the benefit for its citizens. It's by no means "reasonable" argument, though.

The two jedi at the freighter where I was supposed to meet Jaeesa kind of struck me the wrong way. I wasn't able to say to the guy I defeated - The other one I persuaded out from having a fight - Is that optional or will it happen anyhow? - that "No, Dark Side isn't more powerful dude. I'm not even exploiting that side of the Force myself, damnit!" I feel it would've been more merciful just to end his days than let him corrupt himself.


Shame I've been spoiled of the endgame concerning the Sith Emperor. Don't read unless you 100% realize what I'm talking about. Kinda wish I could face the Emperor in the end and call out him for his "plan".

Also, is it just me, or is the playerbase considerably worse while leveling up than before? No DPS ever so far apart from a smart healer who has time to auto-attack has killed the weaker mobs first. It's more damage intake to the group, and it's likely it'll all end up at the healer. So I end up trying to tank two silvers, one gold/champion mob, while desperately trying to grab and kill all the normal mobs before the healer dies because the dps will NOT BOTHER killing normal mobs even if I spell it out. :argh: It's somehow doubly infuriating if I have a sniper in my group because they have good range on top of it and that's what I did myself as a sniper. It's no big deal *yet*, but I can imagine it causing wipes once content gets tougher. I kind of like the fact the LFG is only server-wide, but then again queues are kind of instant most of the time with my juggernaut. My friends list is getting populated pretty fast with decent healers.

Edit: Is there a way of capping the FPS apart from enabling Vertical Sync? My GFX card is killing itself.

Only, your example doesn't hold true because the Teddy Bear is a manifestation of pure hate and rage, and without that intent to utterly destroy and smother the victim, you'd never have the Teddy Bear in the first place.

The Force is space magic that operates on a different morality. It doesn't care for your intent. To call on Force Lightning, you must use dark emotions, and that leads all but the wisest individuals to the Dark Side.

To compound the problem, both sides of the Force are semi-sentient. The light generally urges people to a long term, overarching goal of balance, while the Dark encourages selfishness and greed. And as an added bonus, the Dark Side's rush of power is comparable to an addictive drug, and even without the psychological problems that the user develops, there's always that desire for one more hit.

There are other views, of course, but the vast majority of Star Wars lore proves them wrong, or the rare exception. Jolee Bindo is often cited as being able to use the Dark Side without becoming corrupted by it, but the same people who cite him forget that he was an exceptionally wise person, even by Jedi standards. He spent decades in seclusion, living a very simple existence and contemplating the lessons of his past.

Basically, the universe that the Force exists in is one of absolute morality. There is definitive 'good' and 'evil.' It's like Dungeons and Dragons that way; spells with the Evil descriptor are Evil. Why? Because they draw on Evil power, and to call on that power makes you Evil.

If you're an operative you can handle all the mobs being on you (and kill all the non-elites too) :smugdog:

In fact it's usually the only entertaining thing to do!

For the record I've had probably close to nothing but good groups while leveling through content. I had one bad group that I just left on before the first pull because I got the vibe. I had one bad group whose targeting was all sorts of messed up and I eventually just told them to do it this way if only to make trash pulls go faster (I hate the Colocoid wargame instance) Honestly it's been a pretty swell experience but I do heal every single instance. Not once has LFG given me my DPS role on my Operative.

I did have a very hairy HK boss fight once when everyone said afterwards it was their first time doing the fight and had no idea what to do about the adds. One guy even got pressed down by the core, haha.

jibber jabber about morality re: the force
Any sort of morality system be it religious, mystical, or just shoehorned in there Bioware style is bound to be flawed. The only real, genuine approach to morality is to examine all aspects of a given situation or act, and judge each one individually. This is where Star Wars logic fails miserably to make sense, but drat if it doesnt make for good dialogue.

I've always taken the light/dark side view as just an artificial creation of force users projecting their own morality onto what sorts of actions involving the force are exhibited by those with whatever sorts of morals.

Abilities that are helpful, useful, and not exclusively lethal are therefore LIGHTSIDE! (healing, etc.)

Controlling folks' minds one way or the other, moving stuff around and such? Everyone abuses the poo poo out of this, so its neutral. (mind trick, battle meditation, force telekinesis, force speed, etc.)

Stuff that pretty much is awesome for murderin' folks and all that? DARKSIDE! (Lightning, choking, other fun stuff)

So while you can heal a dying rear end in a top hat dictator to make sure he keeps genociding the heck out of the galaxy, or lightning shock a generator for keep a pediatric cancer ward running, it doesn't mean a drat thing. Star Wars logic says they are Light and Dark actions respectively, just because the manner in which the force is manipulated says so. It's like saying an allied soldier in WW2 picking up a Panzerschrek to take out a Tiger is automatically a Nazi.

I like this gem: QuiGon tries to trick a dude into accepting what they both know is worthless, regional currency to buy some poo poo. That's like trying to trick a guy in an isolated amazonian tribe into accepting a stack of Benjamins for half of his medicine supply.

The only real manifestations of the light and dark that we see in the lore are individuals who let themselves be molded by their ethics, artifacts/manses of said folks with bits of their personality tucked in them, crap like that.

Its all loving gray, I tell you. The force is just another fundamental force of the universe for the Star Wars setting, like electricity, magnetism, gravity and whatnot. Some know how to gently caress with it, others don't. Its what you do with it and what the results are that you judge, not the means.

Fake Edit: Also, gently caress yeah tanking specs! Love being able to take on anything, anytime.

I think its one of the Thrawn trilogy books that has Luke using effectively battle meditation (not called that of course) and having to strongly resist the urge to just crush the pilot's minds.

Whether or not Jaesa is light or dark depends on your alignment when you get her. If you're light at the time then she will only ever be light, and vice versa.

Wookieepedia on : Gray Jedis

quote:

The term Gray Jedi, or Gray, had two meanings. First, it was used by Jedi and Sith to describe Force-users who walked the line between the light and dark sides of the Force without surrendering to the dark side, and second, it described Jedi who distanced themselves from the Jedi High Council and operated outside the strictures of the Jedi Code. However, those who were considered to be true Gray Jedi met both qualifications and did not belong to any particular Force tradition. One example was Jolee Bindo, a former Jedi Padawan and self-proclaimed Gray Jedi of the Old Republic.

quote:

The term was sometimes used to refer to unorthodox or dissident Jedi who did not meet the strictest requirements of being a Gray Jedi. For example, the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn was thought of by some members of the Jedi Order as a Gray Jedi for his disagreements with the High Council.

Wookieepedia on : Order of Revan

Yes, this is pretty much right in my opinion. Remember guys, the Force is energy created by living beings and is connected to everyone, and so when you use that energy in destructive ways it corrupts the Force and the user. This is why Yoda himself said 'A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense... never for attack.' The darkside isn't anything about morality or logic. Its an actual thing that works in a certain way, even if its dumb. Yes, logically you should be able to use lightning in good ways, but that ignores that the darkside is a real loving thing. It isn't anything to do with morality, its corrupted energy that is literally evil. Places strong in the darkside have been known to turn people insane. Using the darkside itself more or less does turn you insane. This was actually a point in the EU. One of Han and Leia's kids thought that logically he could use the darkside to do good things. But he couldn't and went bonkers (even though that story sucked and would have been better if they played it straight). Its one of the aspects that makes it seductive. Of course I wouldn't be corrupted! I'll only use it for good things. Urgh, why can't they understand! The-they're leaving me no choice! You're with me or against me! Etc etc.


The only reason why Jedi gently caress poo poo up with the Force in modern SW is because its cool. Which is a pretty good reason to be honest. Who didn't fist bump when Satale pancaked Malgus in that one trailer like a boss? Other than dirty imperials of course.....


Edit: Hell, this is why Sidious using Lightning in the original films was so powerful and evocative. Because its such a rank corruption of the Force.

I needed to refresh myself on canon levels before making this argument, but generally speaking RPG sourcebooks are considered canon as far as background info about the universe goes, but statistics and mechanics are not since they may be manipulated to create a playable game. When I get spergy about Star Wars, I generally refer back to the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPGs, where it is stated that the Jedi view of the Force is the most correct view, and while many other traditions have good interpretations of the Force, they tend to miss the mark more often than not.

That's obviously paraphrasing, but with a few exceptions, it's been stated pretty firmly in canon that there is a light and dark side, and that there are dark side powers. :shrug:

Also, the Order of Revan (and Revan himself in SWTOR) were dark side Force users. Genociding 98% of a population is not, by anyone's measure, an act a Light (or even "Grey") sider would do.
