As there is no way to transfer existing chars between US and EU I'm in a non goon guild with Waldorf (I think there might some others in there too).

We're still open to new members btw - I think progression raiding is going to take a hit after 4.0 though so not sure what will happen to raid events and things.

I went back and played my old scrapper scoundrel, which I haven't done since before 3.0 and wow they actually changed the class to make it not a complete pain in the rear end to play relatively well. Making me want to start another agent and run it as a concealment operative. Lord help me I don't have time for all this :negative:

I also dressed up my scoundrel to look like Omar from The Wire, and I'm really looking forward to that Nico Okarr duster coming out, because it'll be pretty perfect.

Make sure you romance Theron when you get to SoR then, if you're truly gonna role play Omar.

If you have legacy stuff on your old server and haven't subbed, use a referral link. Comes with a free transfer so you won't have to start that all over.

Also, the paid transfers are only 90cc's for now if you want to transfer more than one char.

Datacrons are legacy wide in 4.0, so any character started on the same server as your current one will get them. We don't know if it's going to be free or not though.

My internet has been really spotty lately but I'll try to get on for a little bit now. Whisper Bona'dea if you get online soon.

E: Nope, internet not stable enough to stay online for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. Try "Cope", "Quso" and "Chedo" and if you get any of them tell them Bona'dea sent you. Otherwise I think you can do a search by guild name? It's "The Warlords"

It was easy for me to get it removed and one placed on my new iphone. Completely automated, only issue I had was that I had to hit F5 to get it to load the page with the option to remove the authenicator for whatever reason.

If you have had an authenicator running you've been getting 100 cartel coins a month for it so it could be a lot of cartel coins.

I'm curious if anyone has switched to Google Authenticator. From what I hear it's now possible, and that would be a lot easier than keeping my physical fob that is surely going to die soon.

Why can't I lie to that Imperial spy Watcher One when he tells me about the Sith assassin to distract me/buy himself time to interrogate the Doctor and escape? He explains very clearly that the information he receives will be far more valuable than the loss of a small group of colonists, and I already have the coordinates (supposedly)

It's the most obvious thing in the world to do, but no, you have to be honest, so the villains can later gloat about how well they know you.

Im using Google authenticator on 2 different phones (old and new phone) Works great and so much easier to read than the key fob, and fhe time remaining is nice too. So many times the keyfob code expired between entry and clicking play

Wednesday is my rag day.
What do I do with all these basic commendations? I thought I would need to them gear up myself and my companions when I got to 55, but now I'm on Makeb and I'm guessing I'm going to get what I need just from the quests there. (I still have to wait for the SOR expansion to get to 60.) Is there any reason to save them for the KOTFE, or is there a way I can make credits off them? Between all my companions I probably have 3.5 to 4 million credits, which I guess is not a lot.


I'm also not sure what to do with my cartel coins. I have enough to buy one hyper crate, but there's a part of me that would rather spend it on getting furniture for my stronghold and that twin brother's black robes when they come out. (I see them in the collections tab but I don't see it on the cartel market yet.) I don't know if it's better to buy a hypercrate and sell the pieces from it to get credits to buy furniture, or what the best route to go is. Any suggestions?


Also, if anyone is looking for a referral link, here is mine: http://www.swtor.com/r/GrTgkw
It would be much appreciated to get the speeder at the very least.

If there's not something you definitely want from the cartel market, save your coins.

As far as basics go, don't spend them unless you're maxed out. They'll convert to the new commendation tokens when KOTFE launches, for better gear.

If you open your quest log there is a reset quest button. It will start you over from the beginning but it lets you reset those 'final' choices.
