SKY COQ posted:It's just occurred to me how massively loving stupid it it to invest money into the companion affection system when it will get changed tomorrow or the next day when 4.0 hits. Apparently a media embargo on the new companion stuff lifts then too. What? Like, all companion stuff is set to 0? I have a fuckload of lvl 5 gifts I expect to sell for insane prices as everyone tries to level companion affection before they start the KotFE stuff.

From what I understood from the explanation in guildchat, the old system remains until you finish the SoR content, and then something new happens once you begin doing KOTFE stuff... is that not correct?

Yeah, and it's supposedly linked to how much you use them and then some companions are linked to others or something. Maybe the Influence levels will affect who will show up in cutscenes of the side missions you get? No one loving knows. If you're an oldie coming back to this game, or a new player, use a referral code to get free game time and free poo poo, and also give a goon some money. You can still claim a referral even after you've come back and logged in and crap, so it's always worth it to try clicking referrals: http://www.swtor.com/r/TkMbdV

As far as I can tell so far it was "Well, better make sure you maxed companion affection before starting KOTFE, because after that their entire usefulness is based on that one stat which can no longer be improved" Either way, I figured tons of people who don't have maxed affection will now be buying gifts on GTN at insanely inflated prices so they can start KOTFE asap and not worry about having useless companions.

No, preexisting companion affection converts straight to influence. You're getting several new companions so the gift market should explode.

But I mean Bioware's done weirder things so who knows.

They have to release detailed patch notes today right. You can't just release the 4.0 notes on the day the patch goes live.

I'm just pissed off because I spent like 100,000 credits this afternoon and ran through all of the conversations for which I was eligible and T7 is only on around 8,500 affection. loving come on, how is this an entertaining system? Really hoping (against hope, I know) that Bioware's plan around this allows for people like me who've come back to the game recently for 12xp and can't afford to buy the love of their droids.

So I spent the weekend playing a sniper (because I wanted to see the storyline again, and originally did it as an operative) while trying to max out dark side points (because I almost never choose DS anything for any character). Even with diplomacy I haven't yet hit Dark IV, but I still feel a little sick. I don't know how people do this.

Empress Theonora posted:Are transfers by character or by legacy? It might be cool to hang out with goons for the expansion but all my poo poo is on Ebon Hawk. For what it's worth, I'm on Ebon Hawk, along with a small group of friends. We've mostly focused on leveling a buttload of alts leading up to the expansion and haven't been doing much else, but we might try to join up with a bigger guild at some point and expand our options.

Asimo posted:It's much easier as a Sith Inquisitor, where you get to cackle maniacally while torturing puppies with mind lightning. This. Most of my designated DS characters (Inquisitor and Warrior) have large amounts of Light side points to go along with them, mostly because my characters tend to reserve their DSness for assholes, and are quite nice to civilians, their companions, and at the bare minimum people on their side.

Hulk Smash! posted:It's the same story as they are both using the Inquisitor base story so yes. Yeah, that makes sense. The sniper uses a blaster pistol during cinematic scenes, even though he doesn't have one; it makes sense that all the evil lightning you need would be available to the assassin, even if it doesn't match an actual power.

Hulk Smash! posted:I kinda wanted a look reminiscent of Obi-Wan's armored look from the Clone Wars cartoon. That's a good look, but most Jedi robes have the belt going around the robe, so it looks like you're wearing half a skirt, instead of something more cape-like.

Does anyone know how long it normally takes them to respond to a ticket? I came back a month or so ago and bought that Amazon bundle. My account is flagged as a subscriber but when I hit 50 over the weekend and tried to fly to Makeb it said I needed to buy Rise of the Hutt Cartel. I'm not really in any hurry so I just rolled a new character, it's just annoying.

Skadge was the first companion (and almost barely only, damnit Gault) where I realised you could go into negative affection. I also realised you can rocket boots whilst stealthed, go figure.
