Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

Well, it will probably just be new chapters and not have large scale systems changes like KOTFE did.

That's fine. Do we have to wait until February or October?

The Dark vs. Light event is thought to be a time filler until the next season, so likely around October.

So the event is gonna last more than just until the release of the final episode?

Anyway, I used to play this in 2014. I made money back then by making a lot of 35-45 blue implants. I have a few characters with their inventory full with them right now. Is making money making these even viable still? If not, what's a good way to make a few mil to buy some bullshit cosmetics?

Where could the plot possibly go after beating Zakuul? Kind of hard to escalate things after that.

Maybe what's her face, the sister, will escape and then somehow terrorize everyone. Or something.

I'm banking on it still being Valkorion as the threat, with him pulling some sort of Force magician poo poo and you taking out Arcann was all part of his plan, or something. He's clearly preparing you to be ruthless enough for something that's coming.

Oh god, it had better not be the Vong. :ohdear:

Well, there's also the fact that Arcann isn't actually in control of the empire anymore so if the battle of Odessen is against him and his remnant fleet it will still leave Scorpio and the vast bulk of the Zakuul military to face next season.

From my understanding there's a London Cantina event today. Since I've never paid much attention to these before, is there a livestream of it for those who can't physically attend? And how do they handle the Cantina crate links?

So I've been told the XP for levels 1-50 has been rejiggered to the point where you can get through it all doing nothing but class missions. Out of curiosity, I decided to give it a go.

So far, I just hit level 15 when I got my ship as a Trooper and am sent on a level 16 mission. I suspect the gap will eventually increase to the point where I'll have to do a flashpoint or two.

Mix in a little PvP and/or Starfighter and you'll be fine.

You can get away with skipping the planet missions if you do other stuff to make up the difference, such as heroics and flashpoints. Flashpoints in particular give out a stupid amount of xp.

Around that level it's worth doing:

- Intro to crafting (pick up at the priority mission terminal on fleet, talk to all the crafting trainers. Done.)
- Esseles flashpoint which you can now do solo with a Jesus droid.
- Intro to PVP and one battleground
- Intro to Starfighter and one match

At low level those combine for a massive pile of XP.

Yeah, I'm expecting the KOTFE model to continue. They said "Last year we decided to change the model of SWTOR to focus more on story and it's been a huge success."

Translation - single player MMORPG continues.

It's been profitable because it's kept people on the line paying their monthly sub, sure. But it's also been extremely dissatisfying and bad.

Finally got a new dude to 50 and I was opening my prize boxes, and this happened:



Edit: BTW, with this particular set, the ONLY thing in the supplementary box is the belt. The box was listed for 1.6 million on the GTN, but the belt goes for 100k. I already had the belt sitting on my mule alt anyway, but I can respect some high-level GTN trolling.

Well, I wouldn't suggest exiting the game at the moment; I'm getting the same problem with the launcher.

Yep, once you enter the code within a few hours every one of your characters will get a mail with a mount in it. All your future characters too! You can tell how long you've been playing by how many promo mails you get on a new toon. I'm up to 56!

This one is supposedly a Tirsa so it's giant.
