Not all, but a lot.

The story-relevant ones, specifically: Black Talon, Esseles, Boarding Party, Taral V, The Foundry, Maelstrom Prison, Directive 7, Battle of Ilum, False Emperor, and the SoR flashpoints. Only odd one in there is Directive 7 unless KOTFE is going to pick up that plot thread.

Well, we wouldn't want you to have to group up in this MMO.

(I like this change quite a bit)

Look, if I wanted to actually do anything in a group I'd just log onto FFXIV since that's what all my friends play. :v:

I should probably log in anyway in the week before non-early access people get KotFE to reassure them I haven't died or something.

Speaking of ruining all your hype, I know I posted earlier about how my launcher has just decided to not work, and someone said the same today. Well it seems I got early access a day early! As my launcher is now totally hosed. It isn't even giving me an error message now, it just says initializing. :confuoot:

Seriously tempted to just reinstall.


Also the influence sounds good. It isn't as good as Friend/Rival from DA2 was, but hey better than them just being a negative nancy all the time.

Is there any way I can trigger a game repair or something so I don't have to reinstall the whole game?

No real balance changes, will probably be a major patch in 4-6 weeks like 1.0 and 2.0.

I've got a Light and Dark 60 of every class, 300k WZ comms, 10k Basic, 8k Elite, and 6k Ultimate along with 280 million credits. Bring on the 4.0. :toot:

Was there ever any progress made on making a second TNG guild for people's alts? I'm replaying through some of the classes and once the 12xp is gone the 10% guild exp would be super useful.

No need right now as long as we can still cull people that haven't played in 30+ days. If we start getting more active where we need to limit alts then we can go that route.

Simplifying things so they only have to reward a choice of pistol, rifle, sniper rifle, or techblade for quests I'd imagine.

On the other hand, Aric Jorgan - the dude whose backstory revolves around being a sniper and leading a dedicated unit of snipers - finally gets to use sniper rifles.

Tech staves are dumb as poo poo anyway.

So are saberstaves. Looking forward to switching all of my Jedi companions down to single blades.

ALSO: With the sheer number of companions we'll be picking up post-KOTFE, I'm wondering if the game will still keep us in tiny ships.

I recall them saying something like comp abilities are now tied to the weapon they have equipped for tank/heal/dps roles, but some of those changes are interesting. Or I guess what is interesting is the comps not mentioned.

I've noticed doors that lead nowhere on every ship. I think there's room to expand. Also I'm guessing there's going to be a cap on the number of companions we can recruit, be it a hard limit or story branches granting certain companions but not others.

That kind of thing is why I spoil the hell out of myself or play a disposable character first.

When the game launched I started trying out Jedi Shadow because I was a rogue in WoW. Thanks to the saberstaff that didn't last long. I appreciate that some people like it, but I'd prefer even dual wield. In the end more options = better.

Whoa whoa whoa. If they expand ships they better add wall hooks. Specifically a place I can store my Shepard like collection of model ships. :colbert:

I like saberstaves. They're goofy and Star Wars-y as gently caress. I'd swap out for one of those actual polearm sabers (saberspears?) that crop up every now and then in Star Wars without hesitation, though.

Only if I ever planned on using those companions in combat. I just want to see their stories and grab the achievement/Presence bonus.
