Look up the crafting blog on the official forums for all the changes but, among other things, some schematics will no longer be learnable. You'll keep them if you have them but they'll be gone from vendors. If you have them you'll still be able to craft them since they might be something you want for looks only. Visit your crafting class trainer to make sure you have all currently learnable schematics and look up on the GTN for those that are drops from gathering missions, if you want to have them in your list.

I'm not going to enter in Hulk Smash!'s competition because I have most of the stuff I need unlocked and would like someone else to get stuff.

I think playing Guild Wars 2 has ruined me because these days all I care about in MMOs is cosmetics. TOR has some real interesting cosmetic options and trying to get different pieces (dye channels :argh:) to work together can be annoying so I'm pretty happy with what I've come up with.

Imperial Characters

Sniper - My original character that I'll almost certainly take through KotFE first. Was trying to channel the sort of look the Eclipse engineers had going in Mass Effect 2:


Juggernaut - Pictured here in the wonderful 'I'm trying very hard not to poo poo myself' default pose that Juggernauts get. Going for a sort of 'flexible heavy armour' look:


Mercenary - Everything clips through Twi'lek lekku. Everything. Aiming for something of a Mandalorian look but I couldn't find the nice blue their armour is as a dye:


Sorcerer - LARPing as the dude from the Lightning bolt, lightning bolt! video. The armour looks a lot better in motion than in the screenshot and the metallic tubes around the neck glow when one of the traits procs:


Powertech - Tom Spackman's voice is amazing and fits the bounty hunter perfectly. High tech detective look. Bonus everyone should have a jetpack mount picture:


Assassin - I'm really happy with how this turned out, very different to a normal Sith look. Also, the Dread Master customisation for HK owns bones:


Marauder - He kind of looks a lot like Darth Marr, I guess. Armour is waaaaay too heavy for what Marauders supposedly wear. Also when I had a more limited selection of clothing I realised he totally looks like Ronan from Guardians of the Galaxy if he had red skin:


Operative - Space Gangster with a Tommy Gun. As much as I like the kingpin blaster, the shotgun models fit better with how the agent works IMO. Need to be a higher level before I can use the full size black shotgun skin but I think it'll end up looking really awesome:


Also as a PSA, everyone should get a Hutt Cantina Skiff because not only are they cool looking with a mount flourish (holodancer and cantina music) but your character will pick up grapes, throw them up in the air and eat them while idle. It's great:


Republic Characters

Guardian - Not sure I made the right choice with the Cathar but I wanted one of every race because :spergin:. He and Kira are a pair of superheroes, because Jedi are clearly superheroes:


Commando - The assault cannon looks cool but the animations for the skills get super repetitive over time compared to Mercenary. I really love the Monocycle and the starforge assault cannon with the spinning barrel so I colourmatched my (and Elara's) gear to them:


Scoundrel - I'm Han Solo if he was a Rattataki woman and alive 3000 years earlier. I even have a wookiee following me around and standing on tables:


Sage - Whoever said the consular lightsaber idle animation is the best of all of them was spot on. I also really like the WGF Veteran mount that came out (particularly the colours) so I matched my Sage's gear to it:


Unsure what I'm going to use my level 60 boost on but it'll probably be Republic side since I have all bases covered Imp side already. Giant goony fat Shadow so I can make him look like Star Wars kid? I'll have to give it some more thought.

It's the imperial ace battle pilot thing that I get in the mail on new characters. I don't actually know how you get it because I never bought the game at launch but created an account for the beta and when I eventually starting playing with that account after SoR came out I had the imperial and republic sets in the mail on every character :iiam:

e: The rifle's from one of the recentish hypercrates, there's a blaster rifle version, too. Sniper rifle is PW-12 Plasma Core Sniper Rifle, Blaster rifle is VL-25 XT Plasma Core Rifle. Nonentity really knocked it out of the park with them.

Leveling my agent before 12x ends that I made forever ago, Sniper because my Smuggler's a Scoundrel, I kind of miss having stealth but it almost doesn't matter because I just hit so loving hard. Suppressive Fire alone is enough to take out a group of normal minions and then a plethora of strong single target attacks make quick work of anything stronger.

I'm not very happy with my Princessing in SWTOR, but that's what I get for rebuilding my EU account on the US. :haw: So I'm cherry picking some of them.

Agent (Main)



"On the Job." Also my preferred outfit, even if its just the prelude stuff from Revan! :haw:



Treek is such a great companion. :allears:

Smuggler



"Put that camera away, I look like I'm posing for a recruitment drive."

No companion for this one, It's the Wookie anyway. Who wouldn't use the Wookie?!

Consular



Kinda happy with both outfits here actually.

Bounty Hunter



Same here too, because Heat-sink armour is amazing. :allears:

Warrior



Prior to "joining" the Sith, I like to imagine my Warrior was a Imperial Ace because this was the outfit I started with on a whim. Funny when that kind of narrative happens.

Inquisitor



Glorious Sith Patriot of the Empire. Also shy.

This one's kinda dull honestly, but I do like that it fits what with the Sith Inq being responsible for reviving and successfully completing the Silencer project.

Bonus screenshots!

Also why is taking screenshots in this game so hit and miss. :negative:

The one I'm using is actually pretty close (And even comes with an arm strap!) and is super cheap. http://tor-fashion.com/pw-12-plasma-core-sniper-rifle/

The other PW series sniper rifles could also probably handle the job.

Then there's the MR series which are a bit older and I'm not sure as available and don't match the image as well but are still really cool. http://tor-fashion.com/mr-37-sniper-rifle/

How can you use this hairstyle, doesn't it clip horribly through your face all the time? Maybe my issue was that I tried it with Sith Warrior, but most of my attacks would leave me with it stuck clipping forward and half of my scalp visible. I just wish they would accept their defeat in this attempt to have hairstyles with physics and make it static. I really like how it looks.

If thats the pilot ace chest piece that I think it is, what legs/boots are those? I originally started out with the same idea for my operative but stuff does not unify well with that chest piece and usually goes with the off color, not the main color of the chest.

God drat it, I've been trying to take more screenshots of my cool-looking characters for you guys, but the screenshot button keeps straight-up failing for no reason... this has happened to me a bunch of times, and it's completely random. It'll just work one minute and not work the next. Doesn't seem to matter what character I'm on or where I am or anything, it just quits working. I wasted like 20 minutes just now hopping on different characters and pressing a button that did nothing.

Aside from taking cool costume pictures, my friends have a game where we grab screenshots of really awful character names that we find... and man, I have lost so many hilarious bad names to the broken-screenshot void.

Hey UI guy if you're reading this... what the gently caress.

Anyway, at least I got this one:



This is my smuggler that's supposed to be a "cover ID" for my agent, with a ridiculous party girl costume.

With her is Corso Riggs, who I traditionally dress like a male prostitute, for two reasons: 1. to make fun of people who dress their female companions like sluts and 2. to make fun of Corso's macho bullshit. I've kept this joke going across several smuggler characters now, but I think this particular look is my best Corso yet! I have laughed out loud at his cutscenes more than once.

If you're on Windows 10, WinKey + Print Screen takes a screenshot and automatically saves it to Pictures -> Screenshots.

That might work above whatever SWTOR's issue is. I haven't actually tried it.

Are we showing off outfits? Because I'm really happy with my Juggernaut. Maybe not the traditional 'super heavy' look but I think it looks great for an athletic battler type. Headcanon is that she's echani, thus the white on white skin and hair. Only thing I don't like is the clipping of the hanging front plate with the tunic legs, but whatcha gon' do.

I especially like the lightsaber. Crooked, big, and with a glowy in the pommel. Droid buddy is there because headcanon again is that Ashlotte here takes video of her fights for later study. Always gotta become better.

It's actually a little more specific than that.

quote:

To qualify for the Early Access Bonus, you must have qualified for each of the four rewards by being a subscriber on each of the 4 listed reward dates. Once you qualify you may enter and play Knights of the Fallen Empire on October 20, 2015, seven (7) days prior to live launch on October 27, 2015.

So you just have to be subbed on August 10, August 31, Sept 30 and Oct 19. If you missed a day or two in there because you have a non-recurring sub set up or you changed credit cards, but you're still getting all the rewards, you're good.

I managed to get pictures of a couple more characters before the screenshot button stopped responding again...



My other gunslinger... He's just using rocket boost in the screenshot but if they ever make a green jetpack I will pay any price.

Those blue-green pistols are from the Mandalorian Raiders flashpoint. I think it's a unique model.



Jedi shadow. He doesn't normally wear this, but I keep the fat pink robot costume handy for special occasions. In human form he looks a whole lot like comedian Ron Funches.

Edit:
Forgot I already had some decent shots of my Sith Marauder:



The "white knight" look is a simple combination of the Stalker set, which I already had unlocked, and a common pale gray/dark yellow dye that came in one of those cantina event gift boxes. I put it on him as a placeholder at level one, but quickly realized it was a badass outfit and he never needed to change. The glowing yellow eyes and crafted white/yellow saber crystals continue the white/gold "shining armor" theme.

And yeah this hairdo has clipping issues but I can't picture a better one for this dude. I thought of him as sort of a vain, twisted Prince Charming character, like the bad guy in some fairy tale. I mentioned him in the last thread; I picked all the "sassy" answers leveling him up and ended up pure neutral, and it was awesome.

Just went and picked up the blaster rifle for 500 creds that someone was selling while the next one up was 18,500. Small potatoes but I do love a good deal. :slick: Also got the sniper too for cheap but it probably won't get used unless I make a second sniper because I'm far too in love with the space mosin.

Yeah I was using it on my Consular but the amount of clipping, freaking out and how in several cutscenes you could see right through the hair because parts of it weren't modelled on the "underside" just made me spend the CCs to change it.
