Okay so I was a big dumb dumb and didn't read the fine print and transferred a character without first moving legacy items to my personal hold. The issue is that it was my only character on the original server (Bergeren). If I create a new character on Bergeren, will I have access to the old legacy storage? Or alternatively, if I transfer my toon back to Bergeren, will I be able to re-access my old legacy storage? That way, I could transfer over, get my stuff, then transfer back. It's just mats, really, but probably worth 180 cc.

Rather than transfer back and forth, I'd just create a new character and grab everything and transfer him. You can get a free transfer by clicking a referral link (like mine in the OP) so you don't even have to pay.

I tried your referral link but kept getting the message that my account wasn't eligible. I think I may have clicked on one from one of these megathreads when I first stated playing in 2013, only I stopped playing pretty quickly. I can't see anywhere in my account that I have a free transfer, but if they're still only 90cc I may just try and take a toon really quickly to 10. Or, as an alternative, can I create a level 60 char and do it with him?

I assume I can only click a referral link once, so I'm guessing that I clicked one on this account before. Thanks for your help! Edit: Huh, weird. When I was still preferred status clicking the link didn't work, but I just clicked it now after having subbed, and it worked. Thanks for the free transfer! Edit 2: Excellent, all my mats were still there and I just moved them all to my ship's hold and then started the free transfer. Thanks again for the help

Account cancelled. After finishing all 4 Imp storylines i had plans to do the 4 Pub ones but i don't really have it in me. KOTFE is not particularly interesting and it sure isn't worth keeping an account active for an hour of storyline a month. Thanks for the fun!

Would you say the best way to play all 8 class stories would be to alternate between Pub and Imp just so you don't end up going through the same planets 4 times consecutively? Or is it the gameplay that wore you out?

I really just like leveling characters though. I am also doing each advanced class on each side as I go through, but I might end up going back and doing the same Pub/Imp classes but different advanced classes. Cause I'm weird. Or I'll get bored and stop next week. cams fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Apr 26, 2016 |

You can finally transfer across regions. More expensive than a standard transfer (1500 vs 1000) but you can finally do it.

cams posted:This is actually what I've been doing. Went Sith Warrior, Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Jedi Consular. Finishing Consular right now, but I may stop for a bit and actually play him after I finish the story, really enjoying Jedi Shadow. Though when I decide on a character to spend time with after story, I'll probably land on a healer because I like doing random flashpoints quite a bit, and as a healer you can get any group through them. I'm level 50 atm on my first real play through, doing an Agent, and enjoying it. I recently started a Jedi Guardian as well, and have that up to 15. Though with that said, I'm already getting bored of the gameplay and the super long travel distances between objectives, but I am eager to see how all 8 storylines interweave with each other. But the last thing I want to do is have to do the same planets consecutively. Even Dromun Kass, a pretty decent planet with speeder access to everywhere you need to go, would be a PITA to do twice in a row.

I subbed using the Amazon pack for now just so I could level quicker, and so I could buy purple crystals off the GTN and actually use them, rather than having to buy authorization. Of course, I may get bored of the class storylines and just do it earlier, too. That's probably more likely.

If you ever get frustrated with the game, just realize that launch Dromund Kaas - a) Not all speeder points were automatically unlocked like they are now b) The speeder at the spaceport did not connect with the rest of the speeders c) You didn't have a speeder until level 25 so no speeder on the planet d) You didn't even have SPRINT until level 15.

Walking around the starter planets then sprinting around Taris/Balmorra certainly sucked. If you're lvling up on a planet pick up all the heroics in the spaceport on your way...if there's not a speeder point close to where you want to go there may be a heroic mission you can warp to.

Launch era SWTOR was definitely designed around the philosophy of dragging out the time the player spent doing unfun things (combat with trash, running from point A to point B) for as long as possible to pad things out.

There are some specific planet teleports you can buy, you can reduce (and eventually remove entirely) the cooldown for quick travel, unlock speeders earlier, etc. The reduction in cooldown for quick travel is great. It is amazing how much more mobile you are by reducing it from 6 minutes to 4 minutes. Most of those "go back to DK, talk to an NPC and then return to your ship" missions take exactly 4 minutes. With 6 minute cooldown on quick travel you have to wait for 2 minutes every time, with 4 minutes cooldown you can teleport to the citadel when you arrive at DK then teleport back to the spaceport once you are done. :v Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Hmm I'm saving KOTFE for when I'm done with the 8 class storylines.

Basically, the game is great, the unique class stuff eventually dries up because it is very expensive to bring everyone back four years after the game came out for every little thing, but you still get your OG voice actor, which is nice

As far as replaying planets, I unlock the class story xp boost, and between that, guild boost, the xp boosts you get after each party, and my sub, I don't have to do planet quests at all. Occasionally, I need to do a heroic or two.

Trast posted:I recall something about EA cutting the department responsible for the game off at the knees right before launch. Am I remembering correctly? Yup. According to a couple of ex-Bioware employees (so take this with a grain of salt) that's why a bunch of planned post-launch features, mainly oriented around companions (like new companion quests and same-sex companion romances), got canned: EA decided the game was done and ready for launch, no need to worry about adding new features until a buyable expansion.
