Do I need to do anything specific to get the items I get in the DvL crates to show up in my collection? I got Kreia's robes and I want to fashion show them on my baby sentinel.

For armor in order to add to collections you need the entire set - so if you got the robes, then you'd need to get the helmet, bracer, legs, belt and gloves and boots as well in order to unlock in collections on one character, then you can pay ~400 cartel coins to unlock the set in collections.

Well, that makes life a whole lot easier. Thanks. :tipshat:

(I don't know about the Legendary achievements, though. Every hard-mode flashpoint? HK-51? :qq:)

I expect that once we have a few 65s we'll start doing HM flashpoint nights. Most of them are pretty easy if you know the mechanics, just a giant dice roll with pubbies.

As far as HK goes, if you already unlocked him you just need to pay a million credits to unlock him on your LvD character and kill 50 things.

That's good to know, thanks. I was dreading having to do the quest again on a new character just for this one achievement.

I got to the part of the quest where you go to planets and use that little sonar thingie to find parts. I spent a pretty long time futzing around on Taris before giving up. :saddowns:

Imp side my only DvL character will probably be a Sorc, just as a heads up. I'd be down to flashpoint and Op, though, once I hit 65 with her. Halfway done with my Smuggler, then it's a Consular just to round out all my stories. The Sorc will be the one I do the Chapters 1-9 KOTFE poo poo on, though, because holy poo poo gently caress having to stay on Republic side when I don't need to.

Medullah posted:

....you have snipe on your main bar as an Operative and backstab on a secondary?

QERTF are my secondary row and I use them for my main attacks, too.

My setup:

Bar 1: 1-=
Bar 2: QERTFX, S+QERTFX
Bar 3: S+1-6, C+1-6
Bar 4: C+QERTFX, A+QERF, S+~, C+~

Tilde keys are Rocket Boost and Mount, respectively.

Then the layout I keep mostly universal across characters... Specific keys are always specific moves, like X is always my escape move and Shift-R is always my leap/speed boost/roll. Shift-Q is always my main interrupt, F is always my short duration stun, Shift-F is the single target mez, etc etc. Makes bouncing between characters slightly less of a pain in the rear end.

You should have some luck if you ask in general if anyone is looking for the parts while you are there. They stay active for about a minute and anyone can click it. That assumes the pubbie isn't an anti-social rear end in a top hat who won't respond....I hate this game's pubbies.

Finish your class story first. I'd recommend running Taral V/Maelstrom Prison (Republic side) and/or Boarding Party/Foundry to get a bit of backstory on Shadows of Revan. If you're going for the event achievements, you have to do all of SoR (starts at 53 on your ship) and Ziost (level 60) and Knights of the Fallen Empire (Starts at 60) on at least one character, I would recommend picking one to do all of it on and soak up the whole storyline.

On a side note, I was late night inspired for two more names from a semi-obscure comic book!

Best name I've seen thus far on Pube side is a Cathar named Master Shedder. Sadly he was not wearing a purple getup and Cathar can't even wear helmets.

I remember the second Cathar was announced I tried to secure the best names, Garfield, Heathcliff, Liono, Panthor, etc. No luck on any of them. I think I got Fancy'feast but didn't like the looks of that.

edit - Though I did just now get Fancy Feast so I guess I might have to buy Cathar.

Windows Alt Key codes work in SWTOR also so you can usually get any name you want if you can live with an accented vowel or two.

Yeah I know, I used alt codes when I transferred servers to keep my names, and I'll never do it again. Makes it really hard to whisper/communicate.

Anyone know if this game uses a 64-Bit client yet? I'm not savvy enough to figure it out based on files, and searching on Google will dig up years of old rear end threads and crap, which don't help. I want to assume it's still 32. (I'm making a funky ReShade setup for it, which I will share when I'm done if people are interested)

It's 32 bit. Easiest way to tell is look to see if it's in Program Files or Program Files x86 directory.

Who installs games to Program Files? :confused:
But yeah it's 32 bit. Still uses DX9.

To clarify what I've been up to, I'm messing with shaders and post-processing effects to make the game look more like Rebels or (less ideally) the Clone Wars CGI show. It's more out of just curiosity, but the game already has that semi-cartoony proportion thing going with character heads and such, so I'm pretty sure it could work. Main thing is just messing with the light mapping and shadow contrast.

I've already successfully hosed with it to make the graphics straight "better" and more modern with stuff like SSAO and low key HDR and DoF to make the big environmental vistas look better (holy poo poo Tattooine is beautiful) and at some point I may actually do an animated cel-shading filter to make the game look like Borderlands/a Telltale game, if there's interest.
