Yes, I get it, it's Satele Shan. Why do I have to click every single light before it will progress

I liked when I told Theron about Shatele it goes "Theron Shan seems unusually interested."

Like, is it some big secret they're related? They have the same last name.

Nah, it isn't a secret. He probably just didn't know where his mother was until now.

Also love the awkward flirt you can throw at Satele.

For anyone who wants easy decorations, any of the previous 50 granted decorations like class story signs and Star Fortress stuff now goes up to 999. You just have to go into the achievements window and click an extra 949 times.

I'm at the end of the smuggler story line doing the Ilum flashpoint solo. Near what I hope is the end in the "Core" I must pass two huge droids each with 50 hp. Even with my healing companion and the warbot the quest provides I never last more than a few seconds and have never even scuffed one of them. There's no revival at the site so a long run back each time and if I logout I'll have to start the long FP all over. Can anyone tell me how to get by these two behemoths? I'm level 56

I'm really glad to hear Satele is more involved. She was one of my favorite characters. Especially from back in the early days when there was a bug that made her tiny in cutscenes. Plus, she's hot.

I fought long and hard to get the vibroswords in there. I wanted to do those since day 1 five years ago.

Also the swoop took me all of two days to build, so that was a fun one.

I should dig around for more KOTOR stuff, honestly.

I have finished all my class (smuggler) quests through the Ilum flashpoint. By this point my other 3 Republic characters showed as having finished their class story but this guy doesn't? All I have for him now is the mission terminal on his ship. I've gone to Makeb but haven't started it yet. Shouldn't the smuggler icon in the upper left of the character select screen be highlighted now like my other 6 characters who finished their class stories?

Your 'class story' actually ends at the end of Chapter 3, you don't need to do Ilum for it to count (I've never done Ilum's story on any character and I have the 'do all 8 stories' achievement). As Medullah says, you're probably bugged.

It's a great single player story game with some additional multiplayer content.

If you really like raiding or running flashpoints it's not too great a time for the game.

PvP should get more exciting with the new Warzones and season 7 of Ranked starting.

This x 100. I do like many of the new and flashy saber models around, but sometimes you just wanna be a dude in a bathrobe with a toilet paper tube like in the olden days. A more elegant weapon :D Also,

I know the hardcore MMO people hate it, but I love everything they've changed about the game. Leveling rate, level shifting, story based content, more casual endgame, companions that make soloing almost all non-flashpoint/ops content possible, I love it all.

But I am the sort of person that gets grossed out by people who take MMO's super seriously.

I've only been back playing for a couple weeks (but racked up about 5 or 6 days /played) but my biggest problem with the game have been getting into random flashpoints with people who have been playing forever. Not because we wipe or anything, but because they'll often refuse to even run with people who have never done it before. Rather than explain the very simple MMO tricks, people gonna throw fits and demand to be kicked. Never had a problem with people who don't know what's up, MMO weirdos is my problem.

I also despise that the standard for flashpoints is to just avoid all the mobs on the way, but that is more standard and I'm not gonna hold it against the people who played forever and just want their boss kills faster. I'm just a weirdo who likes MMO combat.

and also my stack of companion items sells for 1.25 mil and my bounty hunter can start off rich as gently caress. like that every class story run gives me an almost full stack of common data cores so i can make bank once i'm done.

If you're in it for the story you are the target player demographic. It's an excellent time to join in, and you can play for free for a bit to see if you like the feel of it. There are new chapters of the current expac story released every so often. Afaik almost all of the story content can be soloed.

If you sub once you get all released expansion content forever.
