My Jedi Knight is level 11 and his rotation is 7? buttons already, and I had to take some abilities off my hotbars. Coming from WoW where the fundamental abilities you tend to get first and use throughout the character's entire life, it's weird to get to a point to where you are just throwing things away. That's all I meant.

7 buttons at level 11??? I think you're using some buttons that you don't need to at level 11. What is the rotation you're using?

If your Knight is in similar spec to Annihilation Marauder, then there should be like 3 buttons you'd use at level 11, since this is what a level 65 raid DPS rotation looks:


While there are lots of steps, there are only 8 abilities involved, from which 2 are used once, and half comes from fairly late into the game.

Right, 8 buttons in what's considered the endgame rotation on what's considered to be the most complex character.

Sure you have to stun and interrupt as well, but that's all characters, and not necessary for just story stuff. This game is very simple to play - if you don't want to "perfect" it, you can use minimal buttons just fine.

I hardly use 7 buttons the majority of the time at level 65.

I finally finished getting the jedi knight through chapter 3. Just the last half of Corellia took over 3 hours - armies of trash to wade through, so much running, awful dialogue to skip over. I've got him doing diplo missions now to max out light points for that unlock then forget about him.

Just the smuggler and trooper to go. I might do the smuggler last to finish on a high point.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I just finished trooper and smuggler act 3s over the weekend. Thanks to some extra leveling in December I could just cruise through the required missions (class quests and getting the corellian train active). I had consular, agent, warrior and inquisitor done already. So now my jedi sentinel can do every story boss fight by force choke, groin kick, then force lightning while picking all the dark side options and wondering why none of the jedi around have a problem with this. Good times.

Anyone have an opinion on whether male or female voice/character is better for light side sith warrior run? I went cartoon evil guy on my first one in 2011.

I don't know about the female voice, but the male voice is great, because you sound like a noble British knight running around and blowing everybody's mind by not being an rear end in a top hat.



Hell, I would be a-okay with the SW voice for JKs.

I think Male warrior in general has a better storyline, better romance options, sounds better.

I like my LS female Knight. At one point she said something to the effect of, "If you're half as good at dodging blaster fire as you are at dodging my advances I can't wait to fight with you" to Quinn.

Also, Smuggler twist after Voss is great.

Hey folks,

One of the issues we have seen brought up quite a bit in this thread is storage space. Although we aren't adding new bays at this time, one change to help with storage is that any item which previously stacked to 99, will now stack to 9,999. This change is coming in Game Update 4.1

Thanks!

Well, if you want to play the HK-55 (probably 20 minute) chapter you have to be subbed. If you want HK-55 as a companion I think you just had to be a subscriber on 1/11.

I've still never understood why game developers don't use their noggin when they start these games and make everything in their games stack as large as the integer their database can use will support.

It's not like in any game you ever run out of reasons to hoard poo poo. Let the stackable stuff stack a lot, we'll still find a shitload of things like say unique armor pieces in a game with literally thousands of unique loving armor pieces to fill out an inventory and funnel money into the inventory space for real money system.

9999 is a dumb limit when it's at least a SMALLINT covering a quantity field and that's at least 32,000.

You have until end of Chapter 3 to figure that out. I did subscribe when I settled down on liking the game, so level 10 or so.

You'll probably have to do just like now, right click from your inventory into your bay. I don't see it auto-combining. I know when this patch drops I've got at least 2 hours worth of arranging I'll have to do, but it'll be worth it to have only one cargo bay for crafting materials rather than the 2-4 I have now (Seriously, my Artificer has 4 bays worth of miscellaneous things thanks to power crystals, artifacts, color crystals, and treasure hunting mats).
