I might try out healing. Will the game save different quickbar skill setups to facilitate spec switching or do I need to actually move skills around every time?

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

The latter.

You didn't really think this game would have modern quality of life features to make players' lives easier?

"...creating a vision of the sort of society you want to have in miniature"
Bit of a side note but I decided to finally play the original KOTOR. I already had the you are Darth Revan spoiled a long time ago for me, which is why I didn't get around to playing it for a long time. But I played and finished it was still an awesome experience.

Gotta say the quests in this game were really fantastic. I was actually really surprised since I don't remember any of the other Bioware games after this having such a number of fantastic quests.

Do KOTFE story quests have main story spoilers? I'm thinking about jumping ahead and making a lv60 to play KOTFE before finishing the main story (playing with a friend and we don't have lots of time to log on) but I don't want to have anything cool spoiled. I'd make a new class, not a lv60 version of the one I'm playing already.

It would be great if we could have a one click gear swap for things like pve gear, pvp gear, pve healing and pvp healing gear. I can't imagine it would be much harder to implement than the Barbie dressup system we already have. Hell, I'd gladly pay CC for extra utility gear slots. As much as this game has copied WoW, you would think they would have brought in the dual spec option.

Nothing super huge iirc, some occasional nonspecific references are all I noticed. They go to some lengths to separate the new story from the old.

Oh, I was wondering what was up with that. The smuggler contact just stared wordlessly at me while a bunch of randos were punching one another in the background for no reason.

As someone who has a trooper that romanced Jorgan (My very first character in my very first Bioware game, I didn't realise how bad an idea it was ok?) actually nope, not at all. I got the exact same scene with the smuggler contact and the randoms fighting in the background. That scene exists solely for Scorpio to call you and tell you to come talk to her.

It was a lot of fun, for someone llike me who never done any of the ops (well 2 now!), they are kinda awesome, the scale of them are realllly impressive and this last one looked reallly cool. A lot of different fights too.
Thanks again!

It's PvP...burst is king. Lack of burst is the main weakness of Madness so erring on the side of Power helps. Sorc's don't currently have resource issues so that's another strike against Alac.

I run Alac Implants then 4 Crit and 10 Power augments. Replace all the Acc Enhancements from the Mystic set with Crit.

I think an easy thing to implement would be that the cosmetic slots could have a cosmetic/utlility toggle, so you've got costume 1, and alternate gear 2 or something.

I've got 2 full sets of PVP gear on my Sorc now, and I'd sure love to be able to toggle those even if I still have to keep the whole set in inventory the whole time. It'd be even better if I didn't have to do that and the cosmetic slots could just be alt gear slots instead.

I can live without dual spec since you can field respec and that's not expensive. It'd be great to have and I'd pay real money to unlock it for sure, but it's not the worst how it is right now.

Bought a new pack from the GTN and got nothing real good from it. So many field agent armor sets...

I think I'm going to stick to buying the pieces individually until (if) they reduce the chance cubes a bit. I already have most of the stuff I'd want from those.

Yeah there really isn't much point in buying the packs at this point. Everything hits the GTN for sub ten million at this point except the Rensaber which I'm sure will have a new common version within the next 6 months anyway. :)

I really wish they would add weapons to outfit designer. The biggest crime against Non-Entity's work is that it's a pain in the rear end to use the cartel weapons because if you want to switch you need to swap out mods, re-augment, etc. Plus, them not being legacy bound means you can't share with other classes. So for an altaholic like me, I'd love to use some of the cooler double-bladed lightsabers and electrostaffs but I share my DPS saber with my Assassin, my Shadow, and my other Assassin. I think that's one of the reasons cartel weapons are generally lower priced and in less demand. :(

Well with stuff like Assault Cannons there's also the fact that only one AC can use them and I'd be really surprised if it wasn't the least popular AC as well.

Adding dye slots to rifles, blasters, et al would go a long way for me...I'd be all over the Czerka blaster for my PT if it wasn't bright green.

That new assault cannon works really well on the warbot companion, they both got that cheesy 50's sci-fi vibe.

Some minor Chapter 12 info from the livestream: New information leads to potentially deadly mission for the alliance. Valkorion has brutal plans for the outlander. Special return appearance from some fan-favorite characters (Satele Shan and the spirit of Darth Marr). You will also get some chance to see some Odessen wilderness.

I get the feeling I'm gonna be paying for kneeling and using Valk's power :(

I picked one of those warbots up because it was fairly cheap as unlocked companions go and I don't play the game enough to have the tens of millions of credits the rest of the folks here seem to, only to realize afterwards that its only Favorite item are those maintenance ones that... gently caress, where do you even get those? Only from lockboxes or something? Thanks Bioware.
