The two stories have almost nothing in common, and the Imperial version is much better. Republic Makeb is bland and forgettable.

Yeah, but unless I'm remembering wrong, Republic has you evacuating people from a doomed planet and Imperial reveals that haha the planet was fine the whole time Empire wins!

So Empire first would ruin that reveal.

Not quite right.

The planet was extremely NOT fine the whole time. It only became "fine" because the Empire took drastic steps to save it, then let everyone think it was still hosed.

Lol just got to a point in SoR before going to Yavin 4. Theron and Lana were both like 'Ok ,we're ready to go, unless there's...something else? :blush:' No. No there definitely isn't. We're going now. Get in the goddamn ship.

Incidentally Lana's hair may be the most off-putting thing in this whole expansion. It's like an ivory wig

It was a planned outrage for them to clean up the mountains of corpses that had accumulated prior to the fix yesterday.

Sorry to dig up a post from a couple of pages back but... what? This game is seriously programmed in such a way that inconsequential things like dead enemies persist through a server restart and patch? What could possibly be the point of that? I mean I know it runs on a terrible engine made of hacks and spaghetti code held together by duct tape and bits of string but still, that amazes me.

So I finished up KotFE's main plotline. I thought it was actually really baller, when are they planning on continuing the story, because I can imagine resubbing whenever they've got more content?

Also is there a way to get my girl Mako back? I mean I like Lana and all, but Mako's been with me since I bought this game on release day.

Yes.

Mako and Nadia and all the others will most likely return at some point in the expansion cycle. First new story DLC comes in January, then supposedly one new mission every month.

The rumor was it had to do with fixing mission item loot from mobs, making sure that they don't disappear after a time. The unintended side effect was ANY mob that hadn't been looted wouldn't disappear, do for lazy people like me who don't much care to get the 200 credits and hobbit toes off trash mobs, poo poo would pile up.

No, they were cleaned up by the restart. They did a dry restart on Monday to clean things up so the game was at least playable prior to the patch on Tuesday that fixed the problem.

To be fair the DK one is significantly easier than the others, so not the best gauge.

Well that's just the one I most recently did. I got all the Bounty event achievements last month solo before the companion nerf, I'm just noting that it doesn't seem to be any harder now than it was then.

I don't see an updated PVE guide on Dulfy and googling seems to be failing me. As an Assassin tank, what mods/enhancements am I shooting for? How much absorb vs. shielding do I want? Every time I go to gear a tank in this game, I feel slightly overwhelmed because of all the different tanking stats and how they interface with the different tanking classes.

This is the go to thread for stats now.

Assassin stat recommendations have drastically changed since 3.0, which seems really bizarre to me.

I didn't quite realize that Defense was on everything now, which makes it slightly easier. Guess it's just a matter of picking between two different enhancements now - the thread helped. Thanks.

What's the highest affection rank you need to get a companion to in order to get all their quests/dialogue? Also, is there any way in particular to get affection up fast? I've been using all my non-active dudes to grind Investigation missions for gifts, but I don't know how efficient that actually is.

Conversations are gated by player level now. For influence I usually buy a bunch of green gifts from the fleet vendor to get them to 15 or so, then just roll on. If you have a couple hundred thousand from another character that's probably the fastest way.

Woah, really? I guess I've been wasting time by getting the affection up for companions I don't actually use in combat.

Thanks for the info, glad I asked before I wasted time doing the same stuff on my alts.

Almost accurate. Conversations are gated by main story progress, not by player level.

If you care, there are achievements for killing 1000 mobs per companion. So, if that sort of thing appeals to you, you may want them all to be i10 or so.

Finally came back to the game after being gone for a long time, started a new life as a Sith Juggernaut.
Given the changes to professions, which ones are actually worth doing now?

Originally, I was Cybertech, since that let me make mods for my Adaptable Armors and parts for my ship, but it seems like Robe mods went to Synthweaving?
I'm not worried about profit, I just don't know what's actually fun to do anymore.

I just realised: You unlock races for all jobs by getting that race to 50 right (i.e. get a Sith up to 50 and you can play as a Sith even on republic side)? So does that mean by making a 60 character using a token you unlock that race by default?
