Nerd Of Prey posted: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. There's something weird going on with decorations unlocks. I had one that showed as 2/2 in my decorations window but I was able to unlock 3 more and now it shows as 2/5. usually it'd show as x/y where y is the upper limit. So who knows? At any rate, I don't plan on placing 50 centerpieces

Nerd Of Prey posted:Leveling is ridiculously easy right now, way easier than during the 12x thing. Caveat: It's not easier if you were insistent on doing only the 12x class story. But everything else they've added makes it so much more interesting that you're kind of missing out by doing only the class story now, unlike before.

Has the official release patch fixed the terminal for the old companions ? I'm still on the edge about resubbing. Can you get every old companion back now ?

Jan posted:Caveat: It's not easier if you were insistent on doing only the 12x class story. Actually, no. No caveat whatsoever. It is way loving faster now. It's not even anywhere close. And way easier, because the improved companions make it almost impossible to die. I power-leveled a lot of characters during the 12x thing, and now I'm actually kicking myself because it was a waste of time.

They also seem to have improved the companion AI tremendously - they tank better and heal better and are generally more powerful than they were before. Not having to gear them is a tremendous advantage and the influence changes are just gravy.

The "not right now" dialog option on the companion terminal literally says "I will wait for them to return as part of the story", so crisis averted everyone. And it seems you can even get Kaliyo back, even though she's apparently a big part of chapter 10.

Man, how I wish they'd let me take more than one companion with me during these class missions. I really enjoy having Corso indignant at my actions, but I just got Risha and I think I'll enjoy her too.  Also, I am enjoying playing dress up with my companions so much. Not having to gear them was one of my favourite changes. Look at that Corso butt:

Yeah the biggest shock I've had playing so far is setting my comp to tank stance and watching him actually hold threat for an entire fight. That's never happened in swtor before, even treek couldn't do it Beeme posted:... The slave outfits are female only? I'm ashamed to admit that I never tried to dress anyone in it.

Defiance Industries posted:All the EU garbage has really pushed the idea that Jedi are unbeatable with their power to time travel or whatever, but even with that the best pilot in the galaxy is Wedge Antilles, just a Regular Dude. I'm resurrecting this argument from two pages ago because, call if humility if you want, but Wedge Antilles would probably dispute that: quote:“So, I’m curious,” Phanan said. “Commander, Lieutenant, who do the old-timers think of as the greatest fighter pilot in the galaxy?” He would have probably argued, correctly, that Luke was always better than he was, and always would be. The awesome part about guys like Wedge is that they do live in this galaxy of telekinetic, telepathic supermen and they are the very loving best that the galaxy has to offer of the normal people...but they're not the Heroes who run around with lightsabers.

Until you have gotten a group of 3-4 together, picked up a dozen weekly heroics, and teleported from one to the next in alphabetical order cutting a swath of devastation across the galaxy, you just have no idea the kind of money and XP you can now gain in the space of half an hour. Even solo, heroics are a goldmine, but in a group it's just unreal. Doing class missions is painfully slow in comparison. Like I said before, I feel like there's hardly a point to instant level 60's. It only takes two or three days of casual play to go from 1-60 now, and you get all the companions, character titles, etc. from the class story. You can figure out your rotations and stuff as you go, and then dive into KOTFE fully prepared. The game is so unrecognizable as what it was a week and a half ago, it feels more like a sequel than an expansion. Edit: Ainsley McTree posted:There's a couple other female-only outfits yeah (sexually suggestive ones, if you can believe it!!). Not sure if there's any male-only though. There's the formal sets from the social vendors on capital worlds. The male ones are male-only and the female ones are actually modest.

Why go to Ziost? Nothing remains there but ash ...and a sweet bike jump. So a couple days ago, nonentity dropped an Akk Dog companion voucher in the guild bank. My first thought was "Score! Free akk dog!" but almost immediately after, I realized that it could be put to much better use. For example, as the grand prize of... THE FIRST ANNUAL THAT'S NO GOON KOTFE-INSPIRED HAIKU CONTEST As the more cultured among you already know, the haiku is a Japanese poetic form consisting of one line with 5 syllables, one with 7, and a third with 5. Typically they are about nature, but for this contest I want you to use the haiku format to compose your best thoughts about the KOTFE expansion. It can be about the story, new or changed mechanics, funny bugs, or anything else that was added with KOTFE. By way of inspiration and example, I have interspersed my own haiku about SoR throughout this post. What do I see on the chest of yonder Wookiee? Doctor Venture droid. The overall winner as chosen by me and some other judges (to be determined) will receive the Akk Dog companion unlock to use as they like. Flip it for mad cash? Name him Poochy and go on a series of magical adventures together? The possibilities are endless! Other prizes will be awarded for particularly noteworthy and entertaining entries! Note that I can only deliver said prizes to characters on the Jedi Covenant server. Revan is back... but I could have sworn I killed him at that Foundry place. Entry guidelines:
braving the wilds of Rishi waiting on meat trees. So go play some KOTFE for inspiration, then send me your best work! I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

I was going through the outfits last week (was shopping for a hypercrate), and there are a surprising number that show off a lot of male flesh. Not the same as the female-only outfits, but at least the skin-exposing outfits aren't sexy on women and then fully-clothed on men. (World of Warcraft has lots of armor sets where they look like fully-covering outfits on men, but turn into spring break gear for women.)

You misunderstood what I said. Try doing only the class story now and see where that takes you. Some people were complaining that it's slower now, which I assume is because they were only doing the class story. I was just making a point that it's dumb to only do the class story anyhow.

Is there a secret to finding folks in That's No Goon using /who? I've tried /who "That's No Goon", and messaged a few folks randomly, and so far, they've all said they aren't in a guild, or are in a different guild than ours.. Anyway, my name is Borok in game if someone wants to toss an invite my way. EDIT: Nm, searched from the fleet and it worked fine.

The search window will write whatever you type after /who into its search bar, but it first does a whole zone search without using the search contents. You have to click the looking glass icon again for it to actually use your search terms. Speaking of which, to the Bioware goon who was asking about broken UI things, how about fixing this 3-4 year old issue?

The class story is no longer the fast way to level. It's really nice, though, that it does give you a pretty decent amount of XP regardless of level. The strategy I'm trying out now is to prime a character by getting to around 50 with heroics, and then cruise through the class story and see where that lands me. It could be I'll be able to jump straight into KOTFE from there, which would be a lot of fun, seeing the character's entire story arc virtually uninterrupted.
