Yeah I suspect every cartel weapon will have one. Probably the only ones that won't will be vendor ones (Oranges, of course, I doubt any non-moddable weapons will have the slot).

But seriously...weapon designer. I'd really like to use a saber other than the Gree or Rakghoul ones but it's so drat convenient to transfer to my alts. :(

There are a lot of briefing sessions with Garza that go like this:

Aric Jorgan approves
Elara Dorne approves
M1-4X approves
Sergeant Yuun approves

But on the plus side, he looks good with the HK sword.

I still can't get myself to resub. I did log into my mains and looked at the pretty scenery. I really burned myself out last time, trying to save up for a Guild Flagship. It's hard to find the fun again when the stories are all "go kill all of these things to get to a butan and push butan"

Oh I'm more than well aware of that, I'm up to Coruscant.
I was referring more to the part where he killed a bunch of people and stole their credits.
"You killed eight people just for some money!?"
"Of course not, they had bodyguards too, they weren't complete idiots."


I hate that he keeps confessing this poo poo to you and there isn't a "Report for warcrimes" subquest or something.

So simple question that I just had, if you're stealth and flagged pve does your nametag still show up? I know I've seen some empty nametags before but I just assumed it was my garbage laptop not showing the character.

It's goofy. Sometimes you can see friendly stealth players, and sometimes you can't. I think people in your group you see, people not in your group you can't.

What you saw was probably a glitch from your garbage laptop. When you see stealthed players they don't show up as an empty nametag, they show up as a stealthed character.

Your group members will always be visible in stealth. Beyond that, detection is level-based. Anybody whose level is significantly below yours will be pretty easy to see. Friendly or enemy characters of the same level or higher who aren't in your group will be tough to spot. PVP flagging doesn't affect it one way or the other.

Yes. And if you've still been subbed, you have plenty of CC to buy the Class Story XP boost, too.

I kept getting an internal error message while playing the game till the last time I logged in it said that the login service was unavailable. I downloaded the launcher again and now have to download the client all over again which sucks without unlimited internet.

What is the name of the centerpiece decoration that has a little sun in it? Sun something or other and don't you acquire it by doing all the SF on hardmode?

Subbed like 4 days ago, i had played only the beta before that, have to say that the amount of content is impressive, the developers seem to have done a lot of work capturing the spirit of that old republic era and creating an interesting story for each class.

i bought the amazon 3 months+expansions bundle which i don't see now as a particularly great decision and the reason is that the game is ridiculously easy, i mean easy to a non-enjoyable non-rewarding level thus i do not see myself engaged after 1 or 2 months at most. It is possible to explore most of the content really really fast while creating an overpowered character. But i guess this is the story of these theme park mmos, they have to do it in order to keep the players in, but drat don't you feel nostalgic when 10 years ago that wow quest giver was like ''kill 10 raptors southeast of here'' and that was all the info you got?

Meanwhile i'd love to run some operations with fellow guild members.

The solo content is a face roll for the most part. You should be glad for this because you don't want trash(operative word being trash) creating huge difficulties for the majority of the playerbase etc etc

10 AM on Sunday the only places your going to find Ranked pops are the European servers and maybe Harbinger depending on how late the Australians are staying up otherwise prime time. JC has a decent Ranked scene at least it did before I consolidated all my chars back to Harbinger.

Edit: that second sounds wrong. What I mean is I transferred all my chars back to Harbs before S7 started so I have no idea how the current season on JC is going but the scene was fairly active in seasons past.

what is the deal with the gaps in armorings for crafting? once you hit the level 40 armorings, they start skipping around a bit on what you can craft. not a big problem but annoying.

I'm a preferred status player and just hit level 50 on my toon. So to level up further, I'll need the expansions? What's the cheapest way to get them? A reddit guide (yeah, I know) said that if I sub, I'll get both Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan as well as the existing chapters of Knights of the Fallen Empire, even after I unsub. Is my understanding correct? That seems better than buying the expansions standalone.

You can't buy the expansions standalone. You'll need to subscribe to gain access to them. When you sub, you gain access permanently (Story wise) to everything that is released until the day your sub lapses. So sub today and you'll have access to everything up to KOTFE chapter 13.

You won't be able to do warzones or operations once your sub lapses without a pass, which you'd need to stock up on while you're a sub or buy directly from the cartel market since the cost on the GTN for a weekly pass is far greater than the credit cap a preferred player can hold.
