What if you put her in DPS stance?

Compared to Treek's performance, I mean.

Her DPS stance is just a tank that has less threat generation. If you want to DPS, you use a DPS companion.

I've never really used SCORPIO for any length of time so I wasn't sure if I could use her to cash in on this sweet droid parts thing since I don't have HK (and from the way you guys describe the quest to get him, I don't plan to). Guess not! It's alright, Treek in raid gear will have to do, I guess

Unrelated, as a copywriter by trade, this bit on the launcher always bugs the hell out of me:

I think so but why would you? The game is free to try anyway and you can get a week of subscription by clicking a referral link here. I doubt you'd find a for-sale copy of the game cheaper than a months sub.

I played the game a lot already, I just didn't renew my sub because DF/DP was getting old. I really like to PvP though and the preferred limits are dumb and annoying.

Also I'm pretty sure I can't click referral links if my account already exists.

Not sure how often you can use them. I think it may be only once though.

As sad as it is, I really find it insanely helpful for tracking things like Rep and ultimately saves me time in the long run. For example, Yavin is still pretty much unplayable with the lag, but man do I want that sweet, sweet walker. Keeping the rep spreadsheet made it easier for me to say "There we go, I now have enough rep stocked to get legend, I never have to come here again."

It's also helpful since I have 3 billion toons to track who has money and what my total is, just do a quick round of the alts and log their money about once a month keeps me informed. :)

But yes, it makes me an even huger nerd.

Luckily you get an rear end ton of Rep for doing the weekly - two purple rep items - so for people such as myself who have a billion characters I just did the weekly on a few characters a few times. And then doing the Enemy Within weekly gives you a blue trophy along with the Companion weapon, so that's like 10 minutes for that.

Rishi you're going to hit legend on just leveling about 3 characters I suspect. The rep trophies there are ridiculous.

Hulk Smash!
Jul 14, 2004

Yep, Rishi gives you 1 purple, 13 greens and 20 blues if you do the main planet quest and, say, 80% of the side quests along the way. So, with the guild bonus of 10% that's 19265 rep per character just by going through the story.

Ainsley McTree

I think my least favorite thing about Yavin is less the lag, and more the fact that everyone's swarming all over it to do either the dailies, or the story missions, so you're competing with a bunch of pubbies for the same open world stuff. I have little patience for stuff like that anymore.


Honestly I have a hard time finding reasons to really log in anymore apart from goon raids; I don't like PVP, I don't really enjoy dailies anymore (see above) and the level 60 HMs are too hard to play with pubbies. Didn't they say that they were going to make 55s available for GF again? Have they already done it and I've just missed it?

Change your chat options to omit "System messages" I think.

If you don't know how to get there, right click on the chat tab you want to edit, select chat settings or something like that.

So I've got the itch to play this again. I played at launch and hit the level cap back then. I noticed the OP is a couple months old. Is there an active Republic guild? What server is it on? I'll use my transfer on that.

Negative. A goon republic guild only exists in the technical sense, there is no activity. Imperial (Jedi Covenant) or bust if you want to play with goons.

So I decided to roll a trooper as well in addition to whatever I'm already playing. Playing as a tank Vanguard is great, you never run out of energy. However, it seems like you do run out of things to hit that have a cooldown. One other thing I find hilarious about Trooper is whenever you issue commands to your "squad", it's just one other person. That isn't a squad, dammit! If they let all the other companions show up, then it'd be cooler, but I guess coding budget cut that out.

I guess Havoc Squad is paid on a per-operation system then, so less members on an op means less paid out. Thus, your budget is for one active companion only.

hosed around with Lana's set and the weird pirate nonsense you get on Rishi and managed to put something decent together. There's a bit too much black for my liking since I normally use the Dire Eliminator's Chest (and have since the beta) but this is a nice change of pace, for now.



Still doesn't look as good as it does in game for some reason, there are artifacts and poo poo.
