Looks like you have to reach level 60 for "Legend" now instead of just finishing Chapter 3.

Alo, since a bunch of people are probably jumping on this week, maybe we can do an op or two?

Yeah when she shows up there's a "flirt" option that starts your romance off again, if you had romanced Beniko in the meantime there's a short breakup sequence at the end of the chapter where she goes "I really can't blame you for wanting to be happy with all that's going on. I'll be in the conference room if you need me".

Latest chapter was enjoyable, but I really wish they'd stop spoiling who the characters you meet are going to be. :( The whole bomb exploding into Vette would have been a nice surprise..

And it tells you the next chapter is Shae Vizla and Torian. I hope we get Shae as a companion, then I'll go do Blood Hunt solo mode and have her beat herself up.

I haven't played for almost a year, but I wanted to see KotFE and managed to semi-accidentally convince some friends who had played even less than me that we should all give ToR a try again.

We ended up going in as 3 L25ish characters to Mandalorian Raiders as a warm-up because we'd all done that before and :gonk:. The upscaling is brutal on actual low level parties. Did we just pick the wrong flashpoint? The trash was mostly fine and we did eventually burn through the first boss, but it took 15ish minutes to grind through his 600k health + 2 dogs at our ~3k combined DPS, after which we said gently caress this and did a couple of heroics instead. We're bad, I'm sure, but still...

Shouldn't have been THAT bad - make sure on the first boss one of you (preferably a tank or someone who can taunt) keeps the boss away from the dogs then focus them down one at a time, he buffs them when he's near them.

But ultimately, yeah, heroics are a far greater time + reward investment.

1. Navigate to your SWTOR Folder e.g (C:\Program Files\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Star Wars - The Old Republic)
2. Delete patch folder
3. Run FixLauncher as administrator
4. Press Windows + R, type cmd, hit enter
5. Type i.) ipconfig /flushdns
ii.) ipconfig /release
iii.) ipconfig /renew
6. Dowload the installer.
7. Run it and install it to your SWTOR Folder e.g (C:\Program Files\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Star Wars - The Old Republic)


This has always worked for me, including today, anytime I have patch connection issues.

I did it with my Assassin and had zero problems with it. First run through (solo, not solo+) and I got all the achievements including doing it without dying, except the 15 minute run. I did end up looking at Dulfy starting on the 7th boss to make sure I understood the strategies. It's definitely meant to be a challenge for people in KOTFE gear only but it's simple for anyone in 208+ gear. I didn't even realize there were Kolto stations until halfway through.

Not sure if the SS does it justice. My main complaint about the Arbiter saber was how thin the blade is so the effect helps give it some substance. It makes a crackly sound too.

Sith Recluse Armor with Deep Gray/Black dye and an Arbiter Saber with the Lightning Tuning and a purple Derelict Eviscerating Crystal my Sorc is probably worth north of 100 million credits.

Yeah that's what's preventing me from using it over the Volatile Conqueror saber staff. Though I'm sure Nonentity is hard at work on version 2 with a thicker blade.

I do like the looks of the new Blaster pistol. Again, we seriously need weapon slots in outfit designer.

hosed that up -- I noticed the untauntable status, said "eh, ignore the dogs" and we killed the boss first -- but the main problem wasn't dying so much as the giant slab of total health we had to wade through compared to our damage output. We could probably reduce the fight to 7ish minutes if we got good but there's little incentive to do that given how much easier and more rewarding the heroics are.

Oh well, guess the flashpoints will be there once we've leveled. Waste of a good bolster system though.
