Just a friendly reminder that today is there last day to trade in grade 8 mats for grade 9 to the Jawa in the crafting area of the fleet.

If nothing else I recommend stocking up on white mats and trading them in - the white grade 8 mats are 800 credits each, while grade 9 ones are 2,200 credits each. I bought 1000 of each for my crafters since I'll eventually use them.

Can you describe this a little more? Sounds like a good moneymaking opportunity if they're not bound.

When they introduced grade 9 mats they added a jawa vendor that would trade your grade 8 mats for the corresponding grade 9 mat. This includes white mats which you buy from the vendor (or run missions for) like first aid kits or syringes, etc. They go up in price with each grade, with the grade 9 ones being almost triple the cost of grade 8.

You can try and buy a bunch of grade 8 mats, convert them to grade 9 and then GTN them later on, profit would likely be not too much.

Do future chapters and expansions change depending on whether you give Kothe the codex and end up being a triple agent?

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
After finishing Chapter 3 on all Imp classes i decided to take my Assassin into the expansion packs.

Im barely motivated to continuing to play. The expansion content is so boring and feels so uninspired. I am "forced" to do flashpoints to progress the story and/or flashpoints ARE the story. I primarly play MMOs for social and grouping stuff but dungeons in SWTOR are so incredibly boring. They take loving forever and the bosses are almost exclusively tank and spank. This game really needs to learn from WoW how to design instances and boss fight.
The story is also all over the place. This is probably a result of me being almost level 60 by the time i finished Chapter 3 and was able to pick up quests for RotHC, Ilum, Oricon and SoR all at the same time and not knowing which chronological order to do them in but the game should be responsible for guiding me through this.

I have finished Ilum, Makeb and Oricon now and did the first FP of SoR. Does it ever get better? Someone in guild chat said that SoR is entirely FPs which was the straw that prompted me to make this post.

SWTOR Patch notes for Game Update 4.2 which will arrive on March 8 after maintenance from 5 am to 9 am PST.

Highlights

Chapter XI: Disavowed! Battle alongside Major Aric Jorgan in the next Chapter of Knights of the Fallen Empire. Players who were subscribed on March 1st have immediate access to this new Chapter, and it will be available for all other subscribers on Thursday, March 10th.

I said come in!

I decided to play Knights of the Old Republic II after having not touched it since it originally came out on Xbox. All that did was remind me that TOR will always just be a shallow imitation of the older games. TOR is still a good game but i'm still left confused years later as to why No Really Bioware decided to make this a story heavy MMO without even really improving at all on what the single player games tried to do.

I don't know what the line was, but there's a companion mission for Doc where he goes away for a while to cure a Hutt, and Kaliyo hangs out on your ship while he's gone. You never get her as a companion, but I like to imagine her getting in wacky misunderstandings with the rest of the team. I was hoping she'd remember me.

Alright, since Mgant flaked out on me, I'll post this.

I'm gonna do a goon run of either EV or KP, newbie friendly (as we ever get) for funsies, maybe some crafting mats, and the best hat in the game. 8 man story mode which iirc means if you breathe with your mouth closed and are over level 50, you can come. I'm thinking either tonight at around 6 central or Thursday evening, exact time tbd. If you're interested but afraid you'll gently caress it up, come anyway. If you're interested and confident, come and heal/tank :v:

Anyone who wanted to dip a toe into raiding should come now, else you have your first time alongside seven smelly pubbies. Help us help you!

I may be interested in coming and wiping you all practicing tanking. I did DF without killing everyone so I suppose I can give it a shot.

EV and KP are both very easy to tank and heal, so if you have the desire to do either role a SM run of them is a fantastic way to practice. The only difficult part of tanking EV is positioning the final boss, but post 4.0 even that is cake since you get a giant glowing circle to drag him to.

I won't be able to make it home and get patched up by 6, but I'll try to log in when I can and offer moral support if nothing else.

Anybody who hasn't tried the raids should definitely make the effort. Both EV and KP have a great layout and narrative flow to them, along with a decent variety of boss mechanics.
