You can outlevel content so they turn grey, but if you are colourblind, you can also check out the quest reward in the log. If it's less then 10 exp, it is grey and to low level for you.

Quests turn grey when they are six levels below you. Hence, I always try to do content that is exactly five levels below me.

I know I am going to sound stupid but how do I make an account for this game? When ever I try to put in a new display name or the one from my Origin account it just tells me it is unavailable or invalid. Edit: Nevermind got it. Turns out I can't use numbers.

A guild mate posted something about using lower level gear to take advantage of bolster for pvp before you get true pvp gear. He said something along the lines of blue 66 mods being close to ideal. I can't find this anywhere else, and would have thought it would be posted all over the place. Anyone know if this is accurate? I haven't had time to experiment with it to test it.

How are the storyline quests republic side? I'm coming back for the first time since release and I'm trying to decide whether to go IA-Operative or Sawbones-Smuggler for easy questing, but the fact that all the storylines are different is making the choice pretty hard. edit: I apparently had a ton of cartel coins from buying a keyfob when they first got released and blew it on unlocking Zabrak, Sith Purebloods and Mirialans.

Is there a repository of the differences between Republic and Empire animations? Curious about that before I roll a knight of some kind. Does marauder/sentinel still have a ton of buttons like the OP indicates?

Xeras posted:Is there a repository of the differences between Republic and Empire animations? Curious about that before I roll a knight of some kind. Does marauder/sentinel still have a ton of buttons like the OP indicates? Not really sure about that, but what I can tell you is that I think most of the Republic animations feel "off" to me. Like, a Marauder's animation look more like he/she's actually trying to kill the target while a Sentinel looks like he/she's just waving shiny sticks around the target hoping that they'll die (and don't get me started on that Master Strike). The only animations that I like is the Slinger's (because, aside from Vital shot, they're done pretty well) and the Commando (because I prefer a rotary cannon over two blaster pistols any day). Oh, and Maras/Sents may have a ton of buttons, but you may actually only end up using 7 of them frequently (minus CDs), depending on your spec.

 Are you the healer or DPS? lol dps but it's faster to queue as healer lol Can you actually heal? As in, specced into it? Sure. So, you'll be switching on support cylinder then? Why?Every other day it seems. People are terrible.

Deja vu from a few days ago when I queued into Mando Raiders HM with my Shadow. First real pull the only heal I get from the Scoundrel healer is a single Kolto Pack. Can I get Slow-Release? why? This'll go much faster if I don't use every CD and have to meditate after every pull. no faster if i dps Are you even Sawbones? no dps Whatever, start zoning out when the DPS start flipping out begging me to stay but sorry I already put the healer on ignore, good luck. Admittedly I'm 4 pieces away from fully-optimized Dread Forged so I probably could tank it with iffy heals but I'm not about the encourage that behavior especially when my queues are quick and plentiful.

You can't get away with stuff like that without self heals keeping you topped off. You probably could have kicked him, queued and used a well geared treek though.

Just got to level 10 with my Jedi Shadow, and remember somebody mentioning that the infiltration tree was poo poo, and that Balance was better for DPS. Is this pretty much true, or does it come down more to a matter of taste? I have a hard time figuring out exactly what makes the trees different just by trying to read and compare a couple dozen passive bonuses; it sounds like infiltration is for burst damage, balance is for DOT? I'm mostly interested in PVE stuff, I'll just be doing lowbie warzones to hit the dailies and level.

For PvE, is one Sith Warrior advanced class better than the other? I'm leaning towards Juggernaut.

Farecoal posted:For PvE, is one Sith Warrior advanced class better than the other? I'm leaning towards Juggernaut. Depends on what you want to do. Marauder is pure dps. Jugg has a dps spec and the ability to tank. Tank spec will get you a much easier time joining group finder flashpoints (it's nearly instant if you're a tank on my server).

Ainsley McTree posted:Just got to level 10 with my Jedi Shadow, and remember somebody mentioning that the infiltration tree was poo poo, and that Balance was better for DPS. Is this pretty much true, or does it come down more to a matter of taste? Balance has better sustained damage and much better multi-target damage as soon as it gets Force in Balance at level 20. Deception has better burst damage, which is king in PvP, but it requires you to be behind the target, which can be tricky in PvE. Most of the levelling content is multi-target burst, so you can pick your poison there. I levelled with the assassin version of Infiltration and didn't have any trouble with it, but Balance might be a bit faster.

I usually have more fun with abilities that do lots of damage immediately, rather than having to juggle and keep track of DoTs, so if infiltration is even remotely viable I sort of want to use that, even if it's a little bit suboptimal. I was just worried that infiltration would be some kind of "don't pick that tree, it's worthless until they fix it in a patch you dummy" spec and I wouldn't realize it for hours and hours.

I'm level 45 going into Corellia on my sorcerer, thanks to the non-subscriber XP penalty. Should I expect to have to grind out a level or two in order to finish my class story? I'm starting to regret all those flashpoints and warzones I didn't do.

I'm starting to regret all those flashpoints and warzones I didn't do. I think the level range for Corellia is 47-50, so... it depends? Quests that are two levels above you are (theoretically) totally doable, and if you were maintaining XP boosters and had the relevant Legacy XP boosts unlocked, you might be able to at least keep that gap from getting any bigger without having to queue for anything, especially since you'll be getting extra XP by turning in orange quests. If not, you might want to start queueing for stuff now, or do some Bounties or something, those give good XP for the amount of time you spend on them.

You can get away with under-levelling most content by 3-4 levels. The final fight is a step up in difficulty, although fighting smart still can get you through it at 48. It's possible to do it at 46-47 too, but if you're not 48 by the time you're about to hit the end of Corellia, level grinding might be the less painful approach.

Ok transfer to JC went through just seemed to take some time. Odyneth lvl 50 Sith Jugg Immortal spec as of now but haven't played in over a year so still feeling around and checking out the changes. One question I have is I have like fully augmented War Hero pvp gear, is that going to be considered 'soft'? And are there any suggestions? I do like to get my PVP dailies but don't want to just melt all the time while trying to do it. Also, 79 valor if that makes any difference.

So I spent time on Oricon today to see the storyline, and it's pretty cool. I found two areas with quick travel stations, the second I found by falling in a hole and respawning there. Are the speeders meant to be taxis between the two areas? Because I click on one and can't actually choose anything...
