I missed the September 30th reward date by literally one day. So I get to wait until next week to play the new Fallen Empire content.

That'll teach me for buying the non-recurring subscriptions :argh:

I am wondering if ill come home to any surprises, I had to switch cards to renew my sub that just happened to be on one of the days because the old one expired. It was the same day, so I think that's fine, but who knows

Does the character creation interface feel smoother, or is that me? I also feel like they changed the racial portraits there.

The one change I'm sure of is that after you choose the gender, the character will voice a few different lines every time you click on them. It's a nice addition, really useful to get a feel of the character's personality.

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.
I'm having a hard time gauging the distance I should be moving in between HK-51 part scans. Those who've already done it, is the green circle guaranteed to be the 25m range the scanner is supposed to have?

It seems that quests that give the 6x experience are differentiated by a pink icon, in case anyone else was worried about how they would tell which questline was the "planetary" one.



EDIT: Also I can still craft with my robot butler, but for some reason the order my companions are displayed in the crew skills screen was reversed.

EDIT 2: Who exactly is supposed to get the speeder mount, and have they been sent yet?

If you put on Treeks gear in the outfit designer, that piece of gear is hidden. Meaning if you put a full Treek gear on, you run around in your underwear. Good way to hide pieces of armor you don't want showing, since leaving spots in the outfit designer empty shows whatever you have equipped for stats.

Here are the items in the new pack. Some nice looking armor sets in there and the wall items that create an ambient sound look interesting.

"I want to see what she's in love with."

So far I've found 2 interesting .. oversights on running old content with my companions. Firstly, the "go out to the world and do poo poo" quests from them aren't getting level appropriate xp like the patch notes say, I haven't gone and done any low level quests to see if those kick over correctly. Also, my companion doesn't seem to be getting level synced or anything. So he is blowing some poo poo right up.

Also, had to retrain some skills, and you're going to need to find pants and weapons for your buddies.

Something with this seems screwy, though. Screenshots taken from my lowbie Jedi Consular:



"Coruscant story" mission - the Gree droids.



Normal mission.



Exploration mission - only obtainable after clicking the checkbox on the map screen.

Note how they all grant the same amount of experience.

Make sure to check the amount of xp you get when you actually complete the missions, in case it doesn't match the pictures.

I'll complete one right now - I got the listed amount of experience when I completed the first Jedi Consular story mission but didn't think to screenshot it.

Dexo posted:

I did.

edit: more screenshots!







tl;dr I'm receiving exactly the amount of XP the quest log says. It doesn't appear to be boosted at all.

The quests part isn't surprising. Those don't respect the level bracket of the planet they're on.

I assume when you pass through the green portal your level sync changes?
