I just started a Chiss Imperial Agent on Jedi Covenant, character name is Draede. I plan to become an Operative most likely. If anyone is online tonight if I could get an invite to That's No Goon it would be appreciated!

Every time he logs on, he is met with severe spikes, and his MS goes betwen 6k and 20k all the time, which makes it more or less unplayable. I had this problem a few times a day.

Makeb is big and confusing to me, but I'd like to get up to Hero status so I can get the implant recipes. Anyone have any recommendations for the best way to farm reputation? The staged weekly seems to take a long freaking time to do each one, though I guess I could have just picked the longest ones...seriously, one of the missions took over an hour and I was stealthing past mobs left and right...

Go to dulfy.net immediately. There staged weekly missions are listed in the makeb guide, they tell you which ones are long and which ones are short. The staged weekly takes me about an hour. Once you've run it a few times, you'll figure out you can speeder past most of the crap. If you're a stealth class, you can speeder past most of the crap, and then pop stealth to get out of combat. I do that with all the dailies and weeklies. Plus, if you have everything up, you can do the GSI makeb dailies, the regular dailies, and the staged weekly together and more than 1 thing in a couple of mesas. Those rep items drop like crazy off mobs. I hit hero status pretty quickly, but i also ran the makeb story with 3 different characters, which helped.

wtftastic posted:Great, thank you for the advice. I had a sneaking suspicion Choke wasn't really a very good filler (since its channeled and I don't think it ticks for very much). I'll have to do some more practicing on what actually activates Shockwave (I knew Enrage granted shockwave, but I was never sure when to fill it in). I'll practice this on some dummies and hopefully be able to try it out in a FP. I find a lot of times that I freeze when I'm waiting for poo poo on cool down which isn't necessary. Its just a bad panic fueled habit. Force Leap, Enrage, Smash, Scream, Ravage, Force Crush, Obliterate, Assault for rage, Smash, Scream, Vicious Slash filler repeat. Saber throw when available (Assuming you have two piece, and you should get it ASAP if you don't). Just replace the Force Leap with Obliterate since you'll be <10m for the majority of the most boss fights. Stat priorities are Strength >= Accuracy (to 100% only) > power > surge. Take no critical rating or alacrity. Power and surge are your stack stats. Augments for strength.

Early-morning GTN sniping is the best. Corellian Hand Cannon Besh (for Tharan): $5,000 Red Efficiency Scanner (for Tharan; would prefer blue but those are pricey): $10,000 Covert Energy Boots (for Qyzen since boots don't show on him anyway): $13,100 Covert Gloves are all at $100k+ though, and AFAIK there is no Covert Helmet.  e: Is there any heavy armor Republic-side that looks more like Bounty Hunter gear than Trooper armor? Seems like that would be more appropriate for Qyzen... WarLocke fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Jun 14, 2013 |

So apparently there is no way to restart planet storylines once you abandon them. Having just gotten to and and hosed around a bit in Alderaan, I felt that I'd rather start fresh on the planet when I get back home next week and therefore abandoned my missions, but lo and behold... the dude on the orbital station is now mute since the inability to restart planet storylines is supposedly a brilliant design decision that will render the entire chain unavailable for eternity once you abandon them. Ugh, the whole power struggle thing is like a perfect fit for my sith inquisitor too.

Abandoning it might not have set you back to the beginning of the entire quest chain. Try poking around the planet wherever you had previously hosed around a bit, there's most likely somebody you can talk to and pick it up in the middle.

Normally if you abandon a quest that has a simple 'go to this person' objective you just lose the 1-2k XP reward you get for going to them, but can go to them to pick up the quest. So in your case, you can go to that guy in the Thul House I think.

I had just spoken to the guy in the orbital station and Lord Thul, but none of them are letting me pick up the quest again. I tried teaming up with people just arriving on the planet to see if that'd work, but no, you're just really not supposed to drop planet storylines for some inexplicable reason. It irks the completionist in me.

I think that's a mistake with that one quest then, because I've dropped planet quests multiple times (Hoth, Belsavis, Quesh) and been able to continue by going to the next person in the 'chain'. Might want to report it as a bug.

If you really want to live that quest line, there was a time where you could create characters on the public test server and just set them to any level you wanted. Which was pretty helpful if you just wanted to rush through all the class quests. I guess if that's still a thing you could try to do that to see this storyline ?

One of my favourite tricks is to buy the boxed Upper or Lower sets of expensive armour, unpack them, wait until they unbind, then list both pieces for way more than what I paid for the set. I'll see poo poo like Spymaster's Upper for 30k regularly and the chest will sell LOW at 75k and 100k high. I've also funded my crippling Pretty Pretty Princess addiction by doing this.

It must only happen if you abandon the quest between the space station and the planet then, because I abandoned the Hoth planet quest to go to the next base (because I was leaving the planet) and was able to pick up the rest of the story line by going to the base and talking to the guy. Did the same thing with Belsavis last night between the first base and the second one. Please don't assume I don't know what you're talking about, in the future. I specifically called out it being a chain of quests I could continue not an 'individual side quest'.

Bunch of questions. - How many Vice Comm/Archon boxes will I have to open to hit Outsider with the Cartel Resale guys. - Will be hitting 55 later on Jeyte. Still have no Relics, and no idea what Enhancements are, but I've got almost a full set of Purple Black Hole gear from FPs. What would be the best way to gear up for PvP? - I want to do all the Operations at least once, but just to see the bosses/"story". Is there any real changes between the difficulty modes, or is it just the bosses do different things. Technically, could I queue up for a 16 Story Mode Op using the group finder, and heal it alright as a Black Hole geared Seer Sage, or would I need better gear. - How bad is the group finder for Operations? Don't even bother, or decent. - Where do I start Heroic Space Missions?

It's taken a bit of googling to find out who I need to talk to pick it back up but it's doable. Hoth took me like an hour to pick back up because the actual guy I needed to talk was in some remote mountain cave. Welp. I went ahead and tried this but alas, the hologram thing I needed to interact with prior to abandoning the mission won't even acknowledge my existence. I guess I abandoned it at the worst time possible.

I've just completed the Foundy with me an another DPS Ops as the DPS duo. That was the fastest I've seen mobs drop ever. I'm guessing 2 snipers/gunslingers would be even better... Then I came back to the fleet and saw this:   I'm not even on an RP server.

That was only on the PTS before Makeb's release because they needed people to be able to test the 55 Ops and FPs, but they didn't include the Makeb content on the PTS for people to level 50-55 that way.

You don't go to the thing that the mission you abandoned sent you to. Of course that's not going to work, because you no longer have that mission active. You have to go back to the person you originally picked the dropped mission up from and pick it up again.

I saw a guy with a type 4 female body in the slave girl outfit. The Amazon woman effect was hilarious.

Oh, I'm sure I could try to find cool space hero duds to wear, but that does take some  The only class whose armors I really have liked so far is my Agent, though I'll likely try to search for a nice trench coat for my upcoming Smuggler, if I ever make it. But even low level Inquisitor stuff is ugly. Now, if I was space rich and could get Calo Nord/Bastilla Shan/Revan/Malak's gear, then that'd be cool.

My marauder will probably never stop wearing the Black Talon chest. What is infuriating me at the moment is that even after a dozen Hammer station runs on my healer commando I never got the drat trooper chestpiece I finally want to start wearing real heavy armor.

Man, I really need to stop trying to game the GTN. Was looking for a cool new saber for my Assassin and noticed about six pages of "derelict sabers" from the latest pack, most ranging from 1,000,000 to 100,000 credits... and snagged three or four that were sitting around 20,000 for some reason, hoping to pawn them off for a gain. And now I just have a sinking feeling that the price will plummet instead of stabilizing above my investment.

They seem fairly pointless except for being a different model of saber, which I suppose some people might consider a point. A point that is fairly moot to me since I'm not going to replace my Gree saber until a new rep location opens up with a different, better saber.

The female version of the Relaxed sets seem to be based on Ahsoka Tano's outfit from the animated series. It doesn't really register on the weirdness scale for me but maybe I've been desensitized to video game armors. Yesterday I ran a random queue Scum & Villainy with a few guildmates and about halfway through two people disconnected and we had some trouble re-queueing (the queue button became greyed out) even after manually inviting some replacements. Doing it through the queue gives you the quest reward for additional ultimate commendations, so here's a workaround in case it happens to anyone else: - Disband the group of 8 entirely - Reinvite into two separate groups of 4 - Each group independently queues, make sure 'match groups in progress' is toggled on (it's off by default) - When the group matcher confirmation box comes up, make sure you are matched with the other group and also that it is for the desired instance (S&V in this case, not TFB) before confirming. If either of these don't match, decline the confirmation. The point of splitting into two groups is that you can avoid getting queued for the other instance. If you are getting the correct instance but not the right people, put the random people you see in the group matcher on your ignore list and then re-queue until you are matched with the other group of 4.
