Take the barrel out and send it to your armstech, you can reverese engineer it and get the schematic for a 220 barrel or hilt. Be aware those schematics require a lot of expensive mats, including 2 Dark Matter catalysts which sell for 1.3 million each on the GTN. This is exactly what I was doing - looking at the drat Inquisitor vendor and thinking "Gee, how am I supposed to get weapons?" Some weeks, the ol' brain just doesn't fire. Does the same apply for 208 and 216s? I figure it'd be nice to kit out the alts with at least 208 weaponry

Works for the 216s but the mats once you learn the schematic are the same as the 220. Basically, just buy two Dark Matter Catalysts off the GTN if you want a 220 hilt or barrel and send it to me and I'll make you one.

Can you send mail across factions or if I do professions will I need crafters on both sides? e: It figures they nerf companions after I spend 20 bucks worth of monopoly money on not getting Treek.

GTN is merged. The same armors get different models/names depending on your faction, unless it's a cartel item.

I did not know this before hand, but buying Battlefront gives you a code in SWTOR for a tauntaun mount and thermal retention suit (like Han wears at the beginning of ESB). I don't know if this code comes with console versions or digital downloads, but my "physical" PC copy has a code in it (I say physical, but there's no game disc in the box, it's just a code for the game).

Bioware on the companion healing nerfquote:In KotFE, with a large focus on going back to story, we wanted to make sure that all of our story content was accessible to all of our players. The power that Companions bring to the table, definitely played a part in that accessibility. Companions, from a combat perspective, should complement and provide support to your character, not overshadow them. However, in looking at how strong Companions are, we may have gone a bit too far in that direction. Simply put, while playing through much of the game, there are a lot of situations in regular combat where it is practically impossible for you to be killed if you have a healing Companion. Although this can be fun for a time, this wasn’t our goal. Companions should be strong, they should fill any role you need, but they should not make your actual gameplay be overshadowed by how strong they are. pretty muich agree with all of this

Nerf base stats...but offset it by making stat gains from influence greater? All that means is that heroic content will be tougher with level 1-5 influence companions. Steroid the gently caress out of them, though, and stuff will be almost as trivial as before. Oh, wait. I forgot, I'm not reacting like a real SWTOR addict. Ahem: "loving BIOFAIL WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS YOU'RE PUNISHING PLAYERS WHO WANT TO SOLO HEROIC CONTENT gently caress YOU I WILL UNSUB RIGHT NOW  ".

Some companions like Lana don't like courting gifts even if you are romancing them, and some like courting gifts even if you're not romancing them (or indeed they're not a romance option at all). Nico Okarr will take them, for example, albeit at the lowest affection gain level.

I think the logic is somewhere along the lines of maybe your first trip through the game you shouldn't expect to be an unstoppable beast, but if you're on your 6th alt and you've literally done everything before... you've got the stuff in storage (or cash) to bump your companion up to 10+ just when you start the game. Not that you need to do a lot of heroic content while leveling, and also it seems that companion gifts drop a lot more frequently anyway. Basically I figure the new recommendation for crafting on your first character should now be something that provides companion gifts, that way you can bank all the stuff your favorite on the first character doesn't love and you can probably get your second+ characters up pretty high from the start. It also feels to me like it'll be a pretty big advantage to stick with the "story" companion instead of the secondary hired guns but I don't know.

Trying to decide what I want to play as on Imperial side. Having done a lot of KOTFE as a JK, how weird is the story for non-Force players? It sure seems to make a lot more sense as a Jedi or Sith to be dealing with this poo poo than some rando Imperial Agent unless there's some big changes.

Fun fact: there is another GTN kiosk that was cross-faction even back when there were faction restriction on the GTN: in Outlaw's Den on Tatooine. That was supposed to be one of the incentives to go to a free-for-all PVP area on a PVE server.

Shadow of Revan and then Ziost do a good job setting up the non-Force classes as being capable and logical choices for the Outlander role, assuming you're not one of those screaming lunatics on the Bioware forums who thinks that no non-Force-sensitive enemy or class should be of higher than weak or normal rating to Force-users past the first couple of planets and that Bioware's just pandering to Call of Duty kiddies by pretending non-Force classes have a prayer of beating someone with a lightsaber in a fair fight.

I've done JK and IA, and they were both quite enjoyable. Your big conversations in the first few chapters will be somewhat different, and you don't feel like you shouldn't belong there just because you're not filthy with Midichlorians. But I think of my agent as Blue James Bond, so it makes perfect sense for the galaxy to revolve around him.

Does anyone have any idea why they keep the gift casting time? It baffles me that they still haven't gotten rid of it. Hell, I wouldn't even mind it if they made it a legacy unlock, like the one for movement not to interrupt mount casting. Just, please, Bioware. Please.

Agent Spoilers Yeah, My Agent is someone who has defeated Sith Lords, literally scared away or killed Dark Council Members, single handedly defeated the Space illuminati, and either has a box containing information on every single conspiracy and actor in the Galaxy. or is an incredibly well connected imperial actor who can talk freely and equally with the leader Darth Marr, who also may or may not be an Republic spy. The Agent can stand on anywhere they want on the Galactic stage. Bounty Hunter has a less impressive resume honestly outside of what every one did in Makeb, and Shadow of Revan.

Knocked off a/the Jedi Battlemaster, a legendary Jedi war hero (unrelated to the Battlemaster), potentially the Chancellor, and all manner of other targets extraordinarily elusive/deadly/supposedly nonexistent. The Bounty Hunter keeps getting sent after impossible targets, and brings them back dead or alive. You can run and you can hide from the Bounty Hunter, but either way you're only delaying the inevitable. There's a reason the Bounty Hunter becomes the Dark Council's troubleshooter in the post-50 story, and why on Rishi the Hunter is seen by the galactic underworld as the Dark Council's deadliest enforcer. A better resume than the Trooper, at any rate.
