Okay, so just finished the chapter nine, and i'm getting a strong sense of Deja Vu after spending so many hours playing Metal Gear Solid V.

Is anyone actually going after the post-chapter 9 content with multiple characters? I'm really trying to think of a good reason to bring my alts through, and falling short. It seems like if you've already got all your companions and Treek or HK-51, you've got 6 crafters + 1 active covered. Sure having the other companions would be cool, and eventually maybe I'll go through KOTFE with them, but I can't see doing the influence grind with the large group of other options with more than one.

I'm sure not. I'll probably recruit the companions who aren't a PITA to get (i.e. The War Relic, The Kindly Old Monster, probably Stalking The Stalkers) because there's usually some nice dialogue that changes based on your class, but unless any of that optional content has meaningful story impact down the road I'll probably leave it as the easy companions and doing the star fortresses. I think I have at least a dozen companions right now on my main, and there's undoubtedly many more to come.

Man, I haven't played this game in three years and I forgot how much ability bloat there is. Time to sort through about 30 abilities and figure out which ones I actually use. And as a bonus, I'll get to do it on my other characters too. E: on the plus side, it seems that sometime in the last three years they fixed the "loading bar stops for three minutes on random computers with apparently nothing in common and Bioware blamed the players for not having good specs" bug.

Is there a way to speed up the download on this? It won't break 512kb/s on the launcher and at that rate it'll take a million years to finish.

It's the launcher and/or swtor's connection to the world. If you google around lots of people have the issue. Removing bitraider seems to work for some people but not everybody.

I'm in the same boat. I don't see myself running 20 PvP matches on all my alts in order to get a companion I'm not that fond of. I'm guessing that PvP will be a bloodbath next week, so if you're into PvP you can look forward to a flood of clueless newbies for easy kills. A bit of advice haven't seen mentioned is that people should hold onto all the crates they get as mission rewards until after they have done all the bunker quests. There are 8 bunker quests, and each one requires 5 crates. So you'll need 40 crates, and that's terrible. The game gives a bunch of crates as end game quest rewards, so it's not as big of a hurdle as it looks. Just that if you turn in all the crates immediately, then you'll have to go do the 2+ weekly heroics on levelling planets to get extra crates to advance the quest line. (That part isn't difficult, just tedious.) thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Givin posted:Did I miss the 12x exp boosts or will I get that if I sub before the 27th? 12x is over now, replaced by a rebalancing of the levelling curve where there is a "critical path" of quests (essentially your class quest plus the planet main quest, except where one or the other does not exist) which will take you from 1-60. However the old side quests are still around, as are heroics and such and still give good XP so if you decide to do them instead of the critical path you can level at the same rate (faster, if you do heroics with friends). Either way, levelling should effectively be six times faster than before.

Any EU goons getting massive lag spikes connecting to JC from across the pond? I'm trying to get back into this game but it's nearly unplayable, yesterday I spent two hours trying to do the SoR prelude flashpoint because everything was teleporting everywhere and I kept getting disconnected from the server. Any suggestions?

So how single-player-ish is the new content? Is it really completely instanced, or are there still hub areas where you can run into other players? Really itching for Tuesday. Looking forward to play it. I'm really excited with the new companion system, and currently levelling up a Sith Inquisitor that had been semi-retired because I hadn't kept up with the companion gear.

Baron von der Loon posted:So how single-player-ish is the new content? Is it really completely instanced, or are there still hub areas where you can run into other players? Many areas are instanced, but you do meet people in hub areas. Quest things stay even if another player picks it up though, so that's nice. No competing for a quest objective. Rasmussen posted:Can heroics send you back where you came from? Sadly no, but if you are a sub, get the quicktravel cooldown reduction unlocks from legacy, all three ranks removes it entirely.

So I've gathered some bits and pieces of KOTFE news but have been trying to stay spoiler free. There is one important thing I want to know. So I guess you lose all your companions? Does that mean you lose Treek and HK-51? Do you get them back because they are special and Treek cost me 20 god drat dollars and HK was a pain in the rear end and cost cartel coins on this character too.

Any suggestions? Play on an EU server? My home internet is garbage but the game is silky smooth. Did the first solo flashpoint and gained just over 3 full levels. Is the consular's lizard man especially good, or are companions so powerful now that they're supposed to be able to clear that content solo? I'm a new player, so it's not like I have any bonuses to things. Was pretty boring as a result, but at least I can now stealth through most of Coruscant.

You lose everyone else, for the time being. Certain companions return during the story, but those are not class specific. You can get some others back after you do fetchquests for them as well, and I'm certain there are more of those to come.

I probably will with my 4 main imperial characters but I might skip the more anoying companion recuit quests. What I'll likely do though is to pick one main group per charcater to grind up, not all of them. There are some characters I don't care for so they'll stay in storage. One thing I'm not fond of is that the companions that are currently gone from the story show up as holograms in SH, even though I can technically summon them. Makes the place look weird and ruins the pretty space castles I had going

PsycheNotFound posted:With the change of companion gear only being about aesthetics rather than stats, and the changes allowing companions to be tank, dps, or healing, it's exactly the way you want it to play out right now. Previous to this, even my healing companions were fairly terrible at keeping my squishy Sentinel/Marauder rear end alive let alone keep themselves alive, but now they're tanky and can keep me topped off at 100% all the time. It's fantastic. I decided to go ahead and jump in. I just sold a house so I have some extra cash and I made a character in every class and unlocked the exp bonuses and get the major xp boosts for each of them. Decided to start with Sith Inquisitor and man it was so nice to be able to solo heroics and flashpoints. This is the game I've been waiting for.

Asimo posted:I still wonder why you can't just buy the fucker outright. Even if you can pay for the legacy unlock, the recruitment quest remains horrible and the expansion probably even made it a little worse. I liked the HK-51 quests, except the terrible grind for the parts. But yes, from a business point of view it makes not much sense compared to Treek. Edit: I think its a leftover from the days when HK-51 was the only premium companion and was ridiculously strong compared to every other companion. I think he was also not supposed to be obtainable below level 50. dogboy fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Oct 23, 2015 |
