I'm disappointed, other than the 'everyone shows up at my stronghold naked' incident, the only other jank that's happened to me is my Inquisitor ceasing to use any animations when interacting with things. On the one hand, no animation. On the other, my Inquisitor stares at something and it explodes, so I'm not sure if I'm losing out.

This isn't really jank, but sort of in the same vein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLRBae5a7dk

Aw, they got rid of healing lasers? That was one of the best absurd MMO game mechanics ever, up there with City of Heroes' gravity controllers opening portals to the forklift dimension.

I'm curious, after all the fuss, how many people were actually using those? Not that I'm saying it's good for them to go away, just I've always been subbed when I've been playing the game so I don't really have a frame of reference of what its like trying to do endgame stuff while preferred or hell, even f2p (seems like more trouble than worth for just $15/mo.)

I've never seen them on the GTN at a price someone f2p or preferred could afford with the credit caps they have, and going from how some on the SWTOR forums are talking, the subs buy the pass tokens and throw them in their guild banks for the f2p/preferreds to use. But considering the other restrictions they have with gear, I've wondered if it was even worth it to attempt endgame stuff when f2p/preferred.

Yeah, I'd be curious how many madmen were actually playing the game as truly f2p, the restrictions were pretty limited (though, given how streamlined and, much to the dismay of reddit i guess, easier the story game has been made not as much an issue) you'd have to be a real like insanely misguided dedicated person to be doing endgame stuff at a legit level as just f2p instead of just spending 15 bucks one month. Preferred is another bag, but I don't know all the details. edit: though i checked reddit today before the uprising livestream and my favorite one was the first, which was more or less "is this the livestream for multiplayer content? or the one for four player uprising content?"

teacup posted:1. I figured being made by bioware this game will avoid the usual jank I've seen in a lot of other f2p mmos? IS THIS TRUE 1) The game is more than playable in F2P, especially if you want to see the vanilla content 1-50. 2) It's a bit slower than levelling as a dps, for obvious reasons, but people will love you in group content. Companions join you at a steady pace and can take on any role 3) Subbing will unlock ALL of the expansions up to and including the latest one. Being unsubbed sticks some restrictions on endgame content, and gives you a money cap (you still HAVE your money, but can't spend in excess of 350,000 at once. You won't need to spend anything like that amount of money on anything except cosmetics). I'd say the game is more than playable as free/preferred at least up until the point where you're locked out of expansions, and especially so if it's your first time through as you'll be getting more exp than you need just from exploring different questlines that paid up players can afford to miss.

There were people posting pictures of their vaults filled with them. I never really looked for them on the GTN but I know alot of people hoarded them and bought whatever they saw for when they dropped to preferred. I do hope they come out with some alternative for those masochists who can't afford $15 a month but don't mind grinding credits for hour upon hour in their brief sub times to be able to play only slightly gimped when they go preferred.

Because I'm a nerd - Spreadsheet for easy conversion figuring out Right now it's going to be better to burn through your common crystals and sell the grade 6 companion gifts. Warzone comms come out to be about 10,300,000 credits or a full set of 208 gear - I would probably recommend buying at least the set gear for classes you don't have, will more likely be more useful than credits doing KOET.

Figured it wouldn't be much I went head and converted all my WZ comms to adrenals. Not that 10k Adrenals are any more useful than some pocket change. It may (or may not) be harder to gear alts but at least you don't have to keep track of all the crystals.

I'm actually glad it wasn't that much. I just dumped 25k worth of warzone comms buying some decorations. If it had been some obscene amount we'd be dealing with even more inflation post 5.0.

I was trying not to laugh at people predicting 'inflation' with alt currency being converted to credits. We've been in the MMO game long enough to know that the conversion rate is always a meaningless amount in the end unless you're maxed out on whatever guff currency over multiple characters.

Well, to be fair, those of us that are talking about it have watched inflation in the game skyrocket in the last 12 months. The introduction of Heroics with no meaningful money sink means everyone has a metric fuckton of credits. Two years ago credits were hard to come by, and pre-outfit designer every time you wanted to change into a different look it cost you hundreds of thousands of credits to do so since you had to pull mods and re-augment.

Reading the SWTOR forums thread about the conversion, there's some that have enough WZ comms that with the conversion cap, they're looking at losing at least 10 million credits easy. I wish we knew what the Odessen gifts vendor's prices are going to be in credits to help figure out if it'd be worth it to sit on what I've got or blow it all on gifts since I'm not at the max crystal cap on any of my characters.

 LET'S DO A CONTEST!!!! In honor of Halloween, let's do a costume contest! Between now and say, next Sunday 11/6, post a picture of you in your best costume! It can be scary! It can be creepy! It can be sexy! Bonus points for environmental costumes! We'll either judge them or do random drawings depending on the number of entries. First prize will be a Senya's Lightsaber Pike donated by Non-Entity, and there are a bunch of other nice things in the guild bank to give away.

Medullah posted:Well it would be preferred. Why AREN'T you in the goon guild??? In all honesty, depending on when I first learned there was a steady goon guild on JC, I either had lovely luck getting in touch with someone for an invite or because I'm one of *those* types who while I might not raid, do like to actually be a contributing member to the guild to the best of my ability and felt that I'd drop the ball on that part at the time for whatever reason and be doing the guild a disservice. My track record with the STO goon guild goes from contributing like a madwoman to not logging in for ages with I think my current record being 10 months absent. I am in the Retsupurae guild the Let's Play group set up on Harbinger, and I did set up a more of a shared personal bank type guild with my fiance on JC. I do have unguilded characters on both factions on JC to join either or both goon guilds.

Dude, That's No Goon and Goon Squad are 100% a social guild (and not even that social). If you're unguilded, definitely ask one of us to invite you up. We don't do anything even remotely challenging like hard mode raiding or ranked PvP or conquest - it's laid back and essentially just an IRC channel for goons playing Star Wars.
