I'm playing a pretty neutral BH right now. It's pretty awesome imo.

M_Sinistrari posted:Yeah, that bit of news did make me genuinely smile. Timeline wise it's a bit murky because quite a few of the stories happen simultaneously and there's some ambiguity about companion quests (Doc has a quest that is clearly before the start of the Agent story and Pierce has one that happens before the Knight gets to Corellia). There's also the question of how the BH ends up on a war torn Corellia but you can understand them not wanting to make a different version of Belsavis onwards for a single class. I think this how it goes: Bounty Hunter (full story) Jedi Consular/Jedi Knight up to the end of Act 2 (some time during BH Act 2/3, finishes after BH Act 3) Smuggler/Trooper/Warrior Act 1 (sometime towards the second half of Consular) Doc's quest involving IA companion Agent/Inquisitor Act 1 and Warrior Act 2 Inquisitor/Smuggler/Trooper/Agent Act 2 Consular Act 3 Pierce's personal quest involving The Bastion on Corellia Smuggler/Agent Act 3 Inquisitor Act 3 Trooper/Warrior Act 3 Knight Act 3 Key timeline points I'm aware of that I'm basing this off: The Emperor's Children starting to subvert the Republic The end of the Bounty Hunter story arc The Consular bringing The Rift into the Republic and discovering the Emperor's Children The end of the second Knight story arc Darth Baras reigniting the war Emperor's Children infiltrating and subverting Corellia The Warrior freeing the Emperor's voice Pierce reforming his black ops unit and taking The Bastion on Corellia The Smuggler defeating the Voidwolf The end of the Agent story arc The Trooper and Knight (Act 3) clearing most of the Imperial occupied areas on Corellia The end of the Knight story arc I've been deliberately vague on some of the points because they're fairly major spoilers and I assume some people haven't done some of the stories yet.

Speaking of Agents, I've just noticed a disturbing trend about mine: every non-crewmate character she flirts with ends up dying. Literally a Black Widow.

As far as I can tell, BH is a professional conduct scale forced by the setting to map to LS/DS. I appreciate that the character gets to have a different moral axis than the wizards with weaponized good and evil.

FYI for anyone wanting to buy endgame stuff, I can now make the following for these mats for you - Advanced Resistive Hilt 43 (220 tank hilt) - 2 Dark Matter Catalysts Advanced Versatile Hilt 43 (220 dps/heal hilt) - 2 Dark Matter Catalysts Advanced Versatile Barrel 43 (220 DPS/heal barrel) - 2 Dark Matter Catalysts Exarch Relic of Focused Retribution - 3 Dark Matter Catalysts + 6 Exotic Isotope Equalizers Exarch Relic of Serendipitous Assault - 3 Dark Matter Catalysts + 6 Exotic Isotope Equalizers Can also make a bunch of miscellaneous 220 earpieces and implants for 3 Strategic Resource Matrix and 10 Exotic Isotope Equalizers. Not quite as good as 220 raid drops, but better than commendation ones.

Medullah posted:For PvP who the gently caress knows. No one seems to agree. For DoT based specs (Hatred/Lethality/Madness/Medicine) in PvP 10% Alacrity, 35% Crit, the rest Power with zero Accuracy. For every other spec 5% Alacrity, 40% Crit, the rest Power. For Marksman Sniper or Carnage Marauder you'll want ~3-5% Accuracy at the cost of Power and/or Alacrity. Get your appropriate 6-piece bonus, remove any Accuracy enhancements and replace with Crit, then allocate your Augs, Implants, and Ear to reach the desired specs. Those aren't the be all end all since PvP is way more about personal preference than PvE (I for one forgo Alacrity on most of my burst builds especially in Arena where burst is king) but you can't go wrong with those stats. Alacrity is basically a DPS increase (thus useful to specs that utilize pressure-based DPS not burst like Madness) while Crit is a burst increase. You hit a major point of diminishing returns for Alacrity at ~10% and ~40% for Crit while Power has no dr. You want the Accuracy on Marksman/Mara because the majority of your attacks are white (i.e. weapon) damage and affected by the base defense chance inherent to player characters. Quick Edit for an example of what I mean by personal preference: for my Sorc healer I run 0 Alacrity in Ranked where fights aren't long enough for force management to be a concern. In regs where a stalemate at mid or whatever may occur I run 10% Alacrity to make force management easier. DrunkenGarbageCan fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Jan 19, 2016 |

I am a bit disappointed, most Empire paths have an undercurrent of "Rebel Sympathizer" if you go light side. From what I've seen dark side Republic is "hate the Empire EVEN HARDER" which was not my jam

Deceptive Thinker posted:Holy poo poo I knew sorc/sages were OP in PVP but I didn't realize how much until I finally rolled one Sometimes you get a tank who knows enough to guard you and become Literally Invincible and the enemy team may as well go home. Other times you spend an entire arena match kiting 4 DPS and at the end see that your tank from Orden Latina finished with 0 points in protection.

Was thinking of running through the inquisitor storyline again, both because I remember it being kind of fun and because it's the only part of the game the briefly acknowledges if you're neutral. What do people think for leveling - Sorcerer for AOE / PVP domination instead of questing, or Assassin for stealthing through trash mobs?

crew posted:I enjoyed the assassin storyline because you get to corrupt and then bone Ashara I enjoy both advanced classes on Inquisitor although I personally lean towards Hatred Assassin because I like stealth, I like self healing and it doesn't have positional requirements like Deception. Really I think it comes down to whether you want to play a caster/healer or whether you want stealth.

Or if you have a companion with a lightsaber, you can use them. The reason is actually the outfit system. If you're not using an outfit and displaying your equipped gear, you can preview crystals fine. If you're using an outfit though, since a weapon is not actually part of the outfit it won't show.

I particularly like rolling as healer and making the opposing team super mad. When they try to focus on me I just bubble until help arrives or they give up because I just insta self heal+shield / aoe knockback and force speed for "see you later, shitlords". Madness / Balance spec is particularly good for farming medals as you can top the damage and healing by just clicking one set of buttons. I think I have a massive boner right now.

So, I've been playing this mostly as KotOR 3 for a while, having reasonable amounts of fun. Question though, having just completed Act 2 my Knight got a warning about nearing the limit of Common Data Crystals. What am I supposed to do with these? (And after glancing at a bunch of vendors, there's clearly like 27 different currencies, which is at least 22 too many. )

Earlier, each planet had their own planetary commendation, that you could only use on that planet. And you often didn't get enough to afford anything useful. It is much better now. Buy gifts somewhere on fleet with them, and feed your companion.

Galewolf posted:Don't hate me for I have turned to this after trying pvp with JK I sympathize -- I really only enjoy PVP on my commando and mercenary. I'm pretty much good at standing still and pushing buttons to shoot people. And even when I'm busy standing still and shooting someone, the melee types insist on running back and forth behind me like they have some kind of muscle disorder that prevents them from moving their arms without also running around like a crazy person.

StashAugustine posted:I actually really liked tanking assassin (I forget the name cause I did it pub side) This is the correct answer. I can't tell you how much I like my Sith assassin tank. I don't even run her with a heal companion anymore, I set Khem Val to damage, pop Dark Ward before a fight, and end every fight at 75%+ health while wrecking the ever-living poo poo out of absolutely everything. Also, stealth is the superpower of superpowers in this game. This weekend I spent a little time playing my Sith warrior, who I do love also, but everything takes so long with him because he has to kill everything in his way in pretty much every tunnel/corridor in the game. My assassin just sneaks past them, kills the target, and then quick travels back to her objective. I think my favorite quality of life thing in this game is reduced quick travel and most especially Priority Transport: Personal Starship. I remember this game at launch and having to do poo poo like go way down in the sewers, fighting big packs of rakghouls the whole way, and then having to turn around and fight your way all the way back out through the respawns and then drive all the way back to base because quick travel had a 30 (20? long-rear end time) cooldown. Speaking of this, if I pay 1 million to lower the cooldown of rocket boost, does that only apply to that character or does it apply to my entire legacy? I bought the cartel pack that gives me rocket boost and literally yesterday discovered that legacy tab that lets you buy the upgrades. It's worth it IMO if it applies to every character but not so much if it's a million per guy.

Take the utility that adds a root to Overload. 1) Bunch everyone up with a smart Overload. 2) Cast Death Field. 3) Profit.

pinkk posted:Welp, I just stumbled upon an exploit. It seems sending companions out on crew skill missions while harvesting gathering node decos in your stronghold doesn't trigger the Resource Exhaustion debuff. It's pretty likely to be a coincidence... The exhaustion debuff actually has a random chance of not applying whenever you click one of those, regardless of what else you're doing. I don't know what the odds are of getting a do-over but I'd guess somewhere around 25%. It's not 50-50 but it's not insanely rare either. The most clicks i ever got out of one thing before the debuff hit was 4 or 5. There are these great decorations called "encrypted terminals" that I've bought about a dozen of for my stronghold. They're slicing nodes that give you a free box of money when you click on one, and they look awesome.

The slicing nodes make me laugh because it's like there's an ever replenishing money tree next to my legacy vault on Tatooine. Too bad I'm lazy and don't click it nearly as often as I should.
