So even if you had done it, it still would have mattered, some.

"All Droid Gear have been changed into a “Valuable Droid Part” which sells for a decent amount of Credits to vendors."

I wonder what their definition of 'decent' is.

So another thing for tomorrow - if you have cartel certificates, you can pick up a Darth Malgus or Satele Shan holostatue from the reputation vendors that acts as a portable trainer for you when you're leveling from 60-65, assuming you don't have the free Hutt one if you pre-ordered the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion.

You need max rep with Contraband to get it - but you can easily get that by using the slot machines on the guild ship in a half hour or so. :)

Sorry to interrupt all the expansion talk, but:

Crafted dyes are pretty much a license to print money on an RP server. I don't even do a search to see current prices anymore. They move so fast that I can just set my price and it'll BE the low price at some point before the timer runs out. On weekends they sell as fast as I can make them.

With cross-class companions, I do wonder which female companions we'll see the most of barring romance issues and any new plot-important female companions. I'm guessing Kira, at least Republic-side. Maybe Jaesa imp-side?

My worry with the companion changes is that they'll lose their unique abilities and some of their individuality but then, I mean as it currently is Vector can be unique all he wants melee dps is still getting sidelined almost all the time (in my experience)

If you could tutor Temple to be a proper Sith that would own. Really, I just want an apprentice character I actually teach. Jaesa is cool but she is more like my gal pal since she was fully trained when I got her. I want to play Yoda to someones Luke drat it. :negative:

Eh HK and Treek are the only unique ones, and I imagine the flavor abilities will stick around, so Temple will still have a Force blast, Tharan will still summon Holiday, etc. HK and Treek will become more normal though for sure.

Consular teaches the hell out of Nadia, and it's pretty awesome.

At least the female one does. I assume the male one is too busy having sex with her.

It's why I love the relationship between Nadia and the lady Consular. It's a really nice teacher/student relationship, and one of the very few healthy Jedi Master/Padawan relationships I've ever seen in Star Wars. With a male Consular it's heavily derailed by "You're just like my dad and I'm in love with you!" even if you don't reciprocate.

Yeah Nadia is awesome. Surprising too since she's an act 3 comp. Granted even if she was cross faction at this point in the story she'd be fully trained, if by nothing else but the virtue of living til then.

As for new comps we have no idea, beyond that betting on Lana and Theron is a really safe bet. Also that Nico my caesin is here dude too. There are more beyond them but who are they? :iiam:

Nadia's helped a lot, in my opinion, by her showing up long before she joins as a companion. There's a pretty good character arc to her that happens through more than off-screen adventures, and that's more than can be said for most companions - it's all about her personal growth and journey.

One of my favorite characters in TOR, and definitely my pick for the character with the best story arc to her. Lokin and Forex are funny as hell, but they don't really change throughout their conversation lines.

Having just done a ton of affection grinding, I'm pretty sure she has the most quests of any A3 comp by a mile too.

Risha is the same way, you interact with her for all of Act 1 before she joins you as a companion, and she's definitely a stronger character for it.

Good news then, because it sounds like one of the changes they're making is to have companion conversations trigger based on story progress rather than individual influence level.

Huh. Somehow I heard that and figured it wouldn't apply to Treek or HK (who don't really fit into that leveling scheme) but if that's the case, then I'll be happy to knock out those last few bits of dialog.

Really cool trailer, but as Mr Plinkett says, we can't be taken in by well shot, well edited trailers, no matter how cool they are. The Phantom Menace and Dead Island had amazing trailers too. :colbert:


Also something is really hosed up with me that I identify more with the Empire imagery than the Republic. That's....probably not a good thing.

I didn't see any Republic imagery. The impression I'm getting is that the Empire's kept chugging on, worse for the wear and down a few notches, but still present and powerful.

I am, however, pleasantly surprised that our apparent protagonists are a woman and a black guy.

Well I guess the good guy stuff, ie X-wings and Stormtroopers and TIEs getting busted up.

Also I'd have preferred if the woman was the main character and the black guy supporting, but it is better than just a white guy as the lead.

True on all counts.

Seriously, though, you'd think the Disney conglomerate of all media empires would be pushing for one of its live-action big-budget minion companies to do a woman lead before 2019 or whenever the Captain Marvel movie is scheduled.

That's a I dunno I am shocked that Captain Marvel took so long to get made, but I guess isn't her power level bigger than every other Avenger? Also I really hope they use the Muslim version of her. That'd be great.

Also aren't there very, very few female comic book heroes that are you know, actually heroic and appealing to women as opposed to sexy fapbait?
