The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

Me too - I had to scrounge around to find the correct way to take the screenshot....I believe it was (in this order) Alt - FN key - shift - f11 key, and then paste the screenshot into paint, then save it and send it over to my mac side for a little photoshop crop and remove shadows. It was quite the ordeal.

Can't you use the stock OS X screenshot keys? Or are you dual booting?

I do wonder what if any difference that will make in KOTFE.

Probably more than ever before, since companion damage, etc. will only scale to presence and influence. So the bonus from each maxed companion will help.

Yes, I maxed Skadge, Rusk and Scourge.

Skadge, Xalek, Scourge, Tanno Vik, and Qyzen Fess are the companions I've skipped maxing. Would have skipped Kaliyo if my agent wasn't my very first character and had maxed everyone.

I do wonder what if any difference that will make in KOTFE.

Also I see why people like Nadia, she has a ton of quests. Far more than any other Act 3 companion. Also the only apprentice you actually teach. Kira, Jaesa, and Ashara are more or less fully trained when you get em and they just hang around.

Scourge was cool though? :confused: Rusk is just boring angry soldier man. The only two that I really hated were Skadge and Kaliyo.

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.
They're both from the Stalwart Protector set (the orange and white republic trooper armour from the cartel market). I tend to use the boots a lot because they fit really well with drat near everything and have awesome dye channels. Everything is unified to the chestpiece which has a Deep Gray and Pale Brown dye module in it.

I also didn't realise just how fashionable we are as a whole. Similar to how Goon Squad is the number one ERP guild on Jedi Covenant, I think we should acknowledge that That's No Goon is the premiere guild for fashionistas with good taste :smug:.

Man, I'm really enjoying getting back into this game with this 12x bonus. I wish it were a permanent thing, or they had a system like the Armory Bonus from FFXIV, and having a level 50+ character on your account enabled the bonus on all your other characters. I don't think I could deal with playing new characters without the bonus.

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.

You'll need to join a guild that does progression raiding and you'll need to be able to farm NiM Dread Fortress. It's easy-ish with an experienced and well geared group now. Playing it at level? Gonna be really, really hard to get it on farm again.

E: Unless they unbalance the gear somehow, it's hard to say what the numbers themselves will be like :shobon:

Story and planetary quests are becoming 6x permanently after the expansion hits, so you'll have to do the planetary storyline too (which I'm fine with because I quite like some of them).

This is bullshit! Try again.
If any of you are going to be doing datacron hunting over the next few days, there's one particular one on Belsavis that requires you to collect four Rakata Energy cubes. These can be a bit of a bitch to find, but I had one extra so I popped it in the guild bank. If you need it snatch it, and also be a friend-goon and let guildchat know you're about to complete it just to save your fellow goons the heartache that comes with collecting four of these bastards.

The Underworld set armor shells are craftable but very rare to find on the GTN depending on server: The Harbinger seems to have more of them than Jedi Convenant but the chestpieces are running for 1mil+. At the moment they also drop as non-set Verpine pieces from the story mode Oricon operations, and might be introduced as legacy sets after the expansion. There are also animated Kell Dragon set versions that currently drop from nightmare mode Asation and Darvannis. The Jedi Knight set especially looks quite good (it's what the knight in the KotFE gameplay trailers is wearing).

I did not know that! That's good enough I guess, I don't mind the planetary storylines. I'm also pretty happy with the automatic unlocking of all taxi destinations, and not having to manually activate quick travel spots.

Now if only they give the speeders a speed increase that actually makes them feel... speedy. They're really underwhelming as they are, I want to zoom around, not ride about in a pleasure cruise!

I'm told that there are a few interesting dialogues arising of taking DS Jaesa as LS Warrior. I don't know to what extent this is true, however.

As a neutral Warrior, I'm tempted to try it out, but given how irritating psychopath DS companions can be if you're trying to be nuanced... I don't know.

I can't really speak to the quality of her romance, but I can say that of any romance, Lana Beniko or Theron Shan are probably the best bets going forward. They play a big role in SoR, and are most likely going to keep playing a big role in FE, given both how recent SoR is and their popularity. No one knows which of the old companions are coming back, with 5 companions for each class, I cannot see them all being story relevant, so some are most likely going to get cut. I mean the cast of what 11 or so in ME2 was insane, I cannot imagine a cast of 40. :v: And there should be new story companions in FE so yeah...if you want a romance that matters and is interesting going forward bet on Lana or Theron. Or some new FE person.

Also Vette is a romance, DS Jaesa is...well she's every bad roleplayer who is into BDSM. Also cucking.

So on 10/19 the 12xp ends and "Epic story boost" begins? I haven't seen actual numbers mentioned for the ESB other then how the 1-50 experience will be retooled so all you need to do are the story missions.

12x is the Epic Story Boost, after KOTFE launches, the levelling experience will be retooled to the equivalent of 6x for Class Story and Planetary Story, effectively meaning you do the main thread of the planet alongside your own class story to level without having to worry about anything else, unless you want to.
