Three games, thousands of playthroughs. 90% of the players don't know I exist. Still a redhead saving the galaxy with a [Right Hook].

That is a quick set of heroics. Everyone should be doing them to help in conquest.

I always fumble around to complete conquest when heroics aren't included. Do groups form to kill world bosses/commanders of enemy forces?

Probably done a thousand or so WZ's since 4.0 dropped and I finally saw Transpose used in a match. A Tank panicked and Transposed his healer straight into our DPS buzzsaw.

What a garbage ability, the answer to a question nobody asked. If it was instant and/or didn't drop threat I could see some uses but otherwise lol.

The ONE thing I was looking forward to using it for was during pug raids, transposing people into the exploding robots during Dread Fortress. Then they nerfed those so on SM they don't kill people anymore. :(

There's a new chapter today? Is it going to be a proper story chapter or just another "here's a companion, whatever" chapter? I didn't finish the last one with the gladiator bit.

My blade is unBENDING!

How would I find out when my last day of subscription was? I logged in to see the new update today, and it said I was no longer subscribed. I logged in last week and I was still subscribed. I looked on my Cartel Coins log, and the last time I was granted Subscriber Monthly Grant was on January 27. That may be because I used the 3-month amazon thing? Not sure though, since that's still not 3 months worth. Since I've been subscribed every month since the promotional thing started (don't even remember what the reward is gonna be), I'd like to keep my subscription, but if I'll be ineligible anyway, I may as well not bother.

Finally back in playing after a long time off (just before the Knights of the Fallen Empire stuff hit) and currently guildless on Jedi Covenant, any way I could arrange a guild invite? Maybe this game can be played solo but I kind of miss chatting with other people while playing.

Follow the instructions in the OP to search for someone from the guild, there's usually 1-5 people on. Or post here when you're playing with your character name and if I'm around I'll pop on and invite you.

On a side note, I recommend anyone doing the latest alliance alert to use Bowdaar as your companion. There's no extra dialogue, it's just extra funny that he stands there while Broonmark slaughters a fellow wookie

Afterward I need to join the Republic guild as well.

Thus equipped by fortune, physique, and character, he was naturally indomitable, and subordinate to no one in the world.
Okay, so after having not played the game since the first couple months after launch (other than a brief session to check things out shortly after it went free-to-play), I decided to have another look the other day, only to find out that they've basically done exactly what I wanted them to all along (let me play the game like it's KotOR 3), removing my biggest issue with the game. Now I'm horribly addicted and have bought a two-month subscription. :v:

I got my old character up to level 65 before even starting Makeb, and now I've finished that but haven't started the Shadow of Revan content yet. Mainly I've been trying to figure out exactly what stuff is worth doing if I mainly just care about story content. I'm not really a huge fan of the idea of raiding (to hell with interacting with other people), but if the Operations are worth seeing from a story perspective, I'd like to do them. Same for non-solo flashpoints, heroic missions, etc.

Oh yeah, and the two characters I've been playing so far aren't on the main goon server, so if I do end up wanting to do a lot of group stuff I'll probably have to transfer them (I have no friends who play this game). How do I do that (I know it costs cartel coins, but I literally couldn't figure out how to actually do it), and will it transfer all the legacy stuff and everything as well?

There's other stuff I'm confused about too, like how collections and reputation vendors and basically everything to do with the legacy system works, but I'll try not to ask a million questions right off the bat.

Read through the first few posts of this thread, it does answer a lot of this stuff.

As far as story goes, I'd recommend doing Makeb (Rise of the Hutt Cartel) once on both Republic and Imperial side, Ilum once on both sides. Then with the Shadow of Revan content you can do the prelude once on both sides, but once you start the actual content (Rishi) it's really pretty much the same on both sides so you only need to do it once (Rishi/Yavin/Ziost).

If you want to transfer characters, do it this week (see link for details and instructions) because the cost will only be 90 cartel coins per character. After 6/5 the cost goes back up to 1000.

It's a shame we would lose a lot of stuff if all the goons transferred to annoy the most populated server. You keep your personal legacy right?

Bought a couple Hypercrates off the GTN, as suspected didn't get any of the really cool stuff. Did get the Damaged Weapon Tuning, but that's not looking to be as rare as the lightning one. It's cool though (I assume Nonentity's work).

Now to decide if I want to keep gambling and open the chance cubes or wait a few days and sell them to make a portion of my money back. Hmmm...

I had enough referral coins to picks up two myself and got nothing. Probably used all my luck getting two Arbiters in a row last pack.

No platinums and two golds, the Valynn upper and the mount. I just sell the chance cubes since I'm already 100% on Cartel mounts, emotes, pets, and toys anyways.

Yeah I'm sitting at 90% on mounts, and the ones I'm missing are expensive as hell. Pets are 85% and the majority of the ones I'm missing are the ones from buying cartel coins. :(
