Nerd Of Prey posted: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. Yeah, they were purple for me on my new knight too, they just aren't pointed to directly.

Thumbtacks posted:Is 6x enough to get through the story without having to do any side quests/planetary quests? I just ran 1-65 in under two days /played just doing the class and planetary quests. Threw in the heroics, daily flashpoints and war zones admittedly, but I was 65 before I hit Tatooine. I like the levelling now. Less worry about having to gear up every now and again like with 12xp. Hitting 60-65 that early means you get a lot of those Alliance chests too, if you are doing heroics.

Flashpoints & heroics are insanely quick xp. You don't need to touch planetary quests to level. Pick one of the three to do along with class quests and you'll be comfortably on level throughout.

Picked Black Hole for conquest. Warzone it up! Edit - And as a pleasant surprise, one of my characters got not only his weekly conquest award for the guild, but another reward for hitting personal. Easy million thanks to a bug there.

I started playing again this week after not playing since launch. Decided to play a Juggernaut since my launch character was a Sage. I read a bit about leveling and how streamlined and easy it is now, so I figured I'd play as Immortal and just AOE tank my way through PvE with Vette's completely overpowered healing. I guess I was getting 100 cartel coins a month because I have a security key attached to my account, so I have 4k coins to waste. Seems like its going to be fun to check out all the changes... ... Except when I joined a warzone and got yelled at for being an "idiot loving lowbie tank in a warzone human being". Some things never change. (We won the match and I was close to the top in kills)

Yeah Warzones are always going to be filled with idiots who give people crap for being low leveled, not bolstered properly, etc. I personally don't care about that but I will scream loudly at you if you're off to the side death matching when a node is being capped, etc.

Telex posted:Step 1 for any MMO ever in the history of MMO's: Leave General/Zone/World/whatever chat. It's trickier in PVP though, because to ignore the assholes you need to turn off ops chat, which means you're no longer able to read the odd bit of useful chat that comes through (like "node is under attack pls help"). You have to ignore them the old fashioned way by having a thick skin. If i had one of those I'd go outside and talk to real people!

Ah that reminds me, I haven't posted this in a while. Extremely helpful in PvP because I can literally see almost the entire warzone, super valuable in operation fights like Soa and Bulo where you need to see the whole field. By default, the game only allows a maximum zoom out of like 100%. By editing your .ini file, you can extend that. Instructions - quote:I looked around in the INI files and saw the max camera distance and decided to manually change it. The result was a doubling and even tripling of the maximum camera distance. When you have it set to maximum in the UI settings, the INI file shows that as a value of 25.

Well I just opened the worst hypercrate ever. No gold items at all. Seriously, what happened to that platinum pack from the last shipment, where you were guaranteed a gold item, even if 99% of the time it was a belt that sells on the GTN for less than 4k credits? I can't imagine how frustrated someone would have been with this hypercrate if they had spent actual money on it.

It's a F2P Game, you can use someone else's referral link to get a 7 day free trial, and any amount of money spent on the in game market will get you "Preferred" Status. the bonuses from the referral link will put you at a level just below an actual subscriber in terms of your preferred status.

Amazon has a nice pack for $40 but if you mean cheap rather than just good value, I don't think there are any other options.

Occasionally Amazon will have the 60 day physical game cards for under $30. About a year ago I bought a few at $18 each. If you want to jump on those deals, I recommend getting a service that will allow you to set a price alert, something like camelcamelcamel.

Played around with the Akk Dog a bit. Seems to be pretty powerful, even at low influences. It's also a good companion to boost if you have piles upon piles of green Jawa junk, since you can buy Rank 6 green artwork which Akk Dog loves (assuming because he can eat it and wreck it). I used 114 green Jawa junk and got him to 17 influence. Sucks that they can't craft (though logical), but seems to be a pretty powerful combat companion. Heal stance has a cleanse, which I'm not sure if other heal companions do, to be honest.
