That thing really is a license to print money. 99 coins and I got a poo poo ton of rep items, which I can now start selling to vendors because I got to legend, I got 11 purple jawa junk along with a bunch of greens and blues.

If Hypercrates drop below 5 I'll buy one and see if I can get another. :)

Can you invite people into your stronghold so we can use it?

BH story is really mediocre overall, but has some very high heights (Mostly Alderaan for me). Act 1 is pretty good overall, but it really falls off afterwards, but you can basically just play Act 1 and call it quits afterwards.

But really, if you want a good story and haven't played IA yet, there are no alternatives.

Alderaan is usually a low point, but yeah, it's fun for the bounty hunter because you can just punch nobles in the face when they piss you off. It's pretty satisfying after playing that planet as all the other classes.

I hit Level 50 on my BH last night and used my comms to purchase a bunch of 140 stuff for my gear. I think I'm just going to plow through the planet and class quests for Corellia and just skip the side missions, even though I like Corellia. I still need to get Skadge's affection up though for legacy purposes, so I have my other companions constantly out doing Underworld Trading.

Something tells me I should just blow my credits on the GTN buying gifts instead.

Having a jugger and shadow, they are both pretty easy to tank with. Jugger/guardian have more defensive cooldowns to play around with, which I feel make them more survivable, but that might just be something I'm imagining. Both are viable for all content.

The main skill required for tanking is situational awareness. You need to know which enemy in a group to engage in other to hit everyone with a AOE, you need to be aware of who the enemies are targeting, be ready to peel enemies off your healers or dps (dps can deal with a single mob for some time). You are also expected to know boss tactics, but since tanks are rare enough, just tell them you don't know and need it explained. Most people are grateful just to have a tank, even more if it's someone willing to learn before the wipes start.

Cool bananas. Thank you.

Is it just me or are most moral choices from sidequests basically:

Recieve mission to blow up some generator that's powering shields or turrets or something. When you get to the generator, some dude approaches you and whines that if you blow up the generator, it's literally going to blow up the invisible refugee orphanage that you can't actually visit that it's also powering or some poo poo. +50 dark side points if you decide to go through with the mission, +50 light side points if you just walk away.

It's kind of infuriating. Or it's even worse like the one on Hutta where if you help the starving couple, you get darkside points.

Well, looks like you can get max contraband rep and certificates pretty cheaply now. I'm gonna hop on this to get those before it gets nerfed. Can multiple people use a slot machine at once? How long does each "play" take?

Revan/Nihilus masks are gonna get so cheap.

If I had a clue how to macro my gaming mouse to right click I could watch a movie tonight and get rich!

I was real excited to see they lowered the jawa scrap cost of the blue and purple materials needed for dark projects to a 1:1 ratio instead of the steep cost they had before. Then I realized they bugged the recipe again and instead of needing self perpetuating power cells it's asking for synthetic energy matrix. For those of you following along at home, this is what it had originally before they changed it to the power cells. Apparently it somehow reverted back after 3.0. The kicker? The matrix isn't available on the jawa scrap vendor like every other part.

Of course Miraluka, Twi'lek, etc all still have clipping issues. All bioware games have clipping issues. They don't give a gently caress.

The first is a little ???, but I think the second isn't that weird, given that the Revanites are the common enemy at that point, and spying on the Republic (though obviously making sense from a realist's point of view) would be a bit of a backstabbing move.

Yeah, got him to level 12 last night. But now I see that long road to 60 out ahead of me and I'm just kind of like :effort:

Plus, since I want to play it as a tank to get practice, I feel like it's going to involve a lot of pubbie FP runs and that's just like :effort: :effort:

I dig the visual style though, especially the dark ward ability. Way more stylish than a bunch of floating rocks or whatever.

I unironically love Big Brother.
Can I level a character to max just doing the the class quest line and basically skipping the majority of the stuff that isn't the class quest line?

On launch I liked my Agent but quit after I simply couldn't get farther in the class story without grinding out a bunch of boring standard MMO side quests, so I quit.

Would like to finish the story line and do some of the other classes if I don't have to do the side quests now.
