Catsworth: Sep 30, 2009; Who doesn't wanna be Johnny Cat?

I'm having some weird stuff with my companions on my Bounty Hunter. I don't know if it's because I've got another Bounty Hunter on the same server, but I got credit for finishing the companion conversations before I'd done them all with Gault and Torian, and I didn't get credit despite none being left for Blizz and Skadge. The character I was doing it on is 60 and has completed everything so I'm at a loss.

There's some huge weirdness with companions right now. I'm pretty sure if you had Treek you don't actually get access to the ship droid, for example. I noticed that none of my characters could use them while other people say it's working fine, and it all sort of came together when I logged in one who had Treek active and they appeared as a disjointed ship droid model because somehow the droid's customization item was equipped onto Treek instead. :stare:

I suspect the system wasn't designed to expected additional companions which is pretty goddamn sad. Though I imagine it'll be fixed eventually and you lose the ship droid when you start KotFE anyway...

And no idea as for the companion quest conversation stuff but it sounds like there's a whole lot of bugs, yes.

So can you not get rank 6 gifts from crew missions? That's pretty lame.

Am I dumb or are heroic 2+'s still totally soloable? I was doing the cz-198 droid kill and I ended at full health and it was stupid easy. Normally I would at least need to use defensive cooldowns.

If anyone has a ton of basic comms and are near the cap the old gift fragment vendors on the fleet now take comms. 10 basic for a rank 5 purple gift. I was feeding Treek some just to mess around and each one gave 951 affection and didn't seem to have any falloff. Went from rank 11 to rank 15 in about 2 minutes.

Two characters in a row now where all of Treek's gear just went away instead of being de-equipped from her and mailed to me. Including her weapon. So that's a thing.

Oh, and some of M1-4X's stuff didn't get converted to droid parts on the trooper.

I didn't get any of Treeks gear which sucks because that poo poo was 192 and better than mine.

Also I found an amazing dye for my Thexan's armor and I feel I need to share it.

My sniper has all Treek, HK and her ship droid still, but my Trooper's Charged Bolts has completely vanished into the ether, and it's not like the BH Shoulder Cannon that got moved to 61, it's just flat out gone.

gently caress if I remember trooper skills, but was it replaced by an ability from your spec? Since that's a thing that happens now.

Yeah, the old 'this shares a cooldown with an improved version in your spec' powers just get replaced outright now. So if you're gunnery charged bolts just gets replaced wholesale with grav rounds now.

I have that dye on my Jedi Consular�s Thexan set and it looks amazing.

Note � doing the class and story quests on Tython, my Jedi was about lvl 13. Adding on the exploration quests took him to lvl 15. Add the Heroic +2 on Tython, the holocrons on Tython, and all of the �quests� on the fleet (crew skills, advanced class) and he was lvl 17 by the time he stepped foot on Coruscant.

Another note � apparently ALL tactical flashpoints are available at lvl 15. When I opened up group finder, the Esseles FP was blacked out, but all of the other ones were available, even the ones from SoR. I didn�t see any of the �storyline� FP�s on the list though.

Up to chapter 4 in the expansion. No story spoilers but everything is really solid so far. Quality of life changes are great, story seems fun and interesting and new, companions are interesting.

I really wish they had made Social exp cumulative across your Legacy... Getting to high Social levels is even harder now that the game is even more SP.

Someone should talk to Bioware about that.

What do you mean by old? If you mean the really old lvl 20 and 40 sets then there are vendors on the capital planets. If you mean the old 60 gear then yes that's gone.

No reason for any of it besides looks since Bolstering gear with Expertise below 65 hurts you rather than helps.

1) ~~Commendation~~ data crystal vendors only sell green mods now, so this is probably a net (if minor) decrease in leveling player power. I guess they wanted people to use blue drop upgrades while they last? There's also no commendation equipment vendors on the fleet anymore, but I haven't checked the planets yet.

There is still one commendation equipment vendor on the fleet. The guy who sells level 7 or 8 class-restricted oranges didn't get the boot.

Oh man, beating and choking the poo poo out of Quinn felt so good. It also made me realize that somewhere out there, there is star wars fanfiction where force choke is used for erotic asphyxiation.

Yeah, level 60 gear was what I meant. I wanted to get some for the looks. I know that there are alternatives with the exact same appearance, but getting them through pvp seemed like the easier way.

FYI there's a small bug where if you have datacrons unlocked from a character that is now deleted, they don't show up in your legacy unlocks. I'm missing 3 from low level worlds in my list yet I have the Datacron Master achievement since a ways back, so I should have them. Submitted a bug report about it.

When I summoned Khem Val last night, he came up as a healer (I guess that's first in the drop-down list). The fact that it's even an option makes me uncomfortable.

Eimi: Nov 23, 2013; I will never ~~log off~~shut up.

Well given what I saw about someone's spoilers for an FE character earlier, I have a question and I'm wondering if a different dialogue choice made things go differently. Chapter 8 iirc spoilers I really, really liked HK-55 and was bummed when he destroyed himself. It says there is no chance to rebuild him. :smith:

Is that true for everyone? I really hope he can come back as he's way cooler than 51.

All in all FE was pretty good, and I'll probably do a big write up about my thoughts on it later.

The companion reaction notification is pointlessly out of the way now, and I miss it most of the time. What a stupid change.

Also I love how new updated character models are great at making your old ones look painfully retarded by comparison.

Even though you're not trying to play the conversations for maximum affection, it would be nice if you could tell how they react.

You can change it in the Interface Editor...just change the dropdown with Main HUD to Conversation.

Edit: You can change where the subtitles are as well.

I think you have to actually zone in to the actual FP itself to get the solo option.

waffledoodle: Oct 1, 2005; I believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar.

Companion reactions are supposed to show up near the center of the screen now, but they're a customizable UI component that can be repositioned. We don't override your custom UI profile when we make layout changes, which is why most of you probably see it in its old spot. You can either move it to where you want or reload one of the default UI profiles.

There will come a dark day when I do an overhaul of the entire HUD and make many enemies because it will probably have to just nuke all their custom UIs

If I reload one of the default UI profiles, do my buttons get moved around? Or will they still be where they're supposed to be once I add the extra bars back in?

Make a way for the dye preview to show on specific pieces and release them at the same time. You'll distract half your enemies with pretty new colors.
