The Makeb Gazebo you get is not bound. Since you can only have 3 of them (even though is says 50 in the tooltip), it might be a good seller for a while.

So I've not booted this up in ages, but everything I'm hearing about the expansion is that it's a ton of great single player content.

So... Have they given a particular reason for not just making a new single player game? I'm sure a hell of a lot more people would play it.

Disney probably won't let them, especially when The Force Awakens is the new jam. Nursing by Disney's game division's track record, expect a lot of lovely game spinoffs from that.

Frankly I'm surprised they haven't doubled down and gone crazy with marketing Rebels games and iPhone apps and poo poo, but then again Disney has always been more about selling you physical toys and poo poo.

PT has the easiest rotation, best mobility, and best raid utility

Sin has Shroud cheese, the best DPS, and best AoE aggro management.

Jugg had the best DCD's and best single target aggro management.

The current meta for serious progression is PT mt and Sin ot.

I really hope that Jugg gets some love. As it stands now they're B team DPS in either stance and the worst tank for most situations. They basically only win at looking awesome. :unsmith:

Unless you're doing progression raiding (which our guild does not), Juggernaut is a perfectly fine tank. And even then it's only a minor setback due to a few bonuses (hydraulic overrides, sonic rebounder, force shroud).

Juggs actually did get some love with 4.0 - if you take the proper talent point, mad dash becomes a bit of a hydraulic overrides substitute, immune to controlling effects and breaking them. I used it in Cademimmu during there final boss fight and it was great.

Man, this kotor speeder sounds so much faster than it actually is. It makes a racing car noise and then starts moving at 20mph. I can't bring myself to use these larger mounts, they feel too slow. Please Bioware. Buff mounts to 300% increase in speed or something.

Also, are the bounty hunting quests in the cartel bazaar gone? Why are they gone? Is anything else gone?

Balmorra seems to be the biggest bang for your heroic buck. Lots of Heroics, Super easy, only two that aren't on their own instance, with very easy bonus objectives. Hoth is close.

I logged in last night for the first time in a couple of months for the new expansion, and I seem to have lost all of the casino certificates I had from the casino event (the ones you buy gear with). Why would these get removed? :(

Bounty hunting is a monthly event; it lasts for a week each month and then goes away. It'll be back!

It's not really a big deal which since we need tons of all of them. I'm leaning towards Command to get the first command deck unlocked, since that's the single biggest boost to our decoration limit. Whichever you pick, if you're contributing it towards the guild, put it in the guild bank under the tab labeled "Oedzi's Stash".

We'll need almost 50 more frameworks total to unlock everything on the ship, and it takes 50 encryptions for each of those. The sticking point continues to be credits, as each new room costs 5 million credits.

I sold one of the new raid mats over the weekend for 3.2 million and tossed that into the bank, but prices on those are already dropping. I'm betting they'll stabilize around 4-500k where MMGs used to be. Even at that point though, if we can continue to sell those as a reliable income, it'll be enough to fund guild repairs and still make progress on the ship. So for the near future at least, our organized TNG raids (those that me or Medullah get together on a regular basis) will be taking the Dark Matter Catalysts to sell for guild funds. If folks do pick-up runs on off nights or alts or whatever to get their own loot, that's fine too.

Once we get some more cash in the bank, I'll be looking to set up some runs on the planetary commanders for more encryptions. With level syncing, people don't even have to be max level to contribute to these anymore.

Then you can compulsively manipulate all conversations to go the exact way you want by going through them over and over again.

And if you're really desperate, you can leave the quest area and reset it in it's entirety via the quest menu, but that can break the quest if you're unlucky.

I've been busy leveling my new SW, but want to work on my old Trooper who I abandoned at L50. Currently I have two missions, (neither marked as class-related, just planet storyline, and nothing on my ship's holo for a class mission either). One takes me to Makeb "Shelter from the Storm - L51", and the other to Ilum "Crystal Ball - L50".

Does it matter which planet I screw around at? And when do class missions return?

No, Ilum was the old endgame planet and Makeb the first expansion. Makeb is newer and better designed, but you'll probably want to do Ilum at least once for the story.

Class stories never return, except for once on Rishi.

Biggest news: Corso Riggs can once again use his beloved Torchy!

But Kira Carsen still can't use a regular lightsaber. :mad:

Whoever's been saying you can only use 3 Makeb Gazebos is full of poo poo, because I've used 6 and counting. I'm pretty sure the limit of 50 is for real. But really, unless you plan to use that many, give some to your friends. GTN prices are already below 200k on my server and they've only existed for a few hours.

I made an instant 60 last night and immediately regretted it. Deleted him and did the instant level 10 trick while I still could. Really, that's so much more appealing to me... You get to pick your advanced class and free speeder piloting before the story starts, and get a good head start on XP. Leveling is ridiculously easy right now, way easier than during the 12x thing. I wish I'd known. My last character is level 42 and he's barely off Coruscant. He's also sitting on about 800k credits. All because I ran a bunch of heroics with my friends. I love that you can group up at any level and be useful to each other.
