I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
So, do we know what happens if you unsub during KOTFE yet? Do you lose access to all the story chapters, the Alliance base, the companions, etc.? Or just bits and pieces of those?

If you've subbed during KotFE you get the KotFE chapters you subbed for, I'm currently running KotFE stuff right now and I don't have a sub.

Quoting this so I can find the post again later. I ground out every single Imperial heroic that wasn't bugged last week, and so not worth the effort. Especially for multiple alts.
Yeah, there's no reason not to do them all exactly once if you haven't already for the planetary achievements, but otherwise some of them are just so much longer than the others that if you just try and do them all you'll find one or two per planet that take longer than the rest put together. It's quite obnoxious.

Don't get me wrong, basically making them all soloable with a good companion is nice, but a few probably either need their objectives or their rewards tweaked.

Okay, so who thought it was a great idea to remove crafting queues?

I'm sorting through my Cybertech mats and I have enough to make about 300 separate assembly components. Having to do these one at a time is going to be annoying.

Eternity Vault is still my favorite raid in TOR for atmosphere and story. It's a great raid from the very beginning as it starts with your transport ship getting shot down and you crash to the surface in escape pods.

It's kind of ridiculous how happy that pod sequence makes me. I'd pay $20 for an expansion that just let you enter every planet via drop pod using that animation and did literally nothing else.

Like, my dream scenario of how it works is that instead of a piddly little starship, your personal ship is a star destroyer, and you orbit a planet and instead of just going to the dumb old starport, you choose a quick travel point and you drop pod onto it.


I just really like drop pods

It should be used as an intro to more raids, at least. No raid can't be improved by riding drop pods or basilisk war droids through a storm of anti-air/anti-orbit fire down into the target zone.

Wish I could raid on Friday nights with you Goons again, but for the most part my Saturday mornings are booked solid. The joys of living in an Australian time-zone :P

Mind, with the current influx of players - maybe we have enough players in the APAC timezones to do a little raiding.

On a different note, how many players would be needed to take down Dreadtooth these days?

It's back to being a proper 8 man operation boss, most likely, with level scaling. Might be able to short man him a bit. With any stacks he's require more.

I actually need 5 stack Dreadtooth for Big Game Hunter achievement still. :(

Coruscant has the Gree quests marked as a story arc, which is great because they give the awesome 'Black Bisector' title.

I thought I was losing my mind because I went through Coruscant just days ago and could not remember the planetary quest line.

Turns out that's because Coruscant apparently doesn't have a story/purple planetary quest line, so I guess there's your answer.

They're not marked as such though, or I would have done them. ("Marked" as in purple triangle story mission icon.)

That's odd. The revan questline on DK was purple, I don't know why the Coruscant one wouldn't be.

The Revan questline on DK goes through a few but not all of DK's subzones. Same for the Gree questline on Coruscant. Both reward titles. Beyond that, both planets don't have a big story from beginning to end, just quests at individual hubs.

Two things that crafting really really needs ui wise atm. To sort the list of companions by highest influence, because there are a lot of companions and and having to scroll down to find your best crafter is a pain. Additionally for mission skills, when they complete it, an option to resend them on the same mission would be amazing and save a lot of pointless clicking.

Especially if they keep growing the companion list for KotFE and you have to scroll down through 20-25 NPCs to find the one you're looking for.

The Gree quests are the "planet" quests. I remember them being marked in purple when i did them. The only problem is, they're kind of off the beaten track. You still have to find the room where the Gree droids hang out, and not every class quest takes you right near there.

In other news, I was just testing Nico Okarr's limits on a brand new level 1 character, running around a huge area picking up dozens of mobs. It turns out he has no limits. If I wasn't hitting them they'd just make a beeline for Nico and he'd take them the gently caress out. It was hilarious. This was with him set on heals and at influence rank 1. A couple of times you could almost see his health bar move. Mine never did. I had to put a stop to the rampage after I realized I had outleveled the mobs and wasn't getting xp for half of them. I was also a little worried I'd be reported for botting.
