I am still not 65 or anywhere near done with my alliance character to even think about finishing it by the 29th. Whats the fastest to level Imperial character if I tack on a bunch of the XP bonus things and whatever armor I may be getting from DvL like stage 2. I fail at MMO's, because as an adult, time is at a freaking premium.  Does the 200% XP bonus thing end on the 29th as well? If that happens then I will probably give the game up totally once again even before my sub expires because I just don't have time to grind old school MMO style, like, ever it seems.

Even without double XP, it is incredibly easy to level quickly. You won't have to grind.

You can easily get to 65 in 10-12 hours right now. Starter planet, intro to PvP, capital world, Heroics. I've hit 65 in 6 hours.

I dunno, I started an SI two nights ago and am already like 42 and only on Balmorra. I did this: Starter planet (class quest only) Black Talon Crafting intro poo poo in Fleet PvP intro poo poo in Fleet DK with only the class quests (was like 28 by this point) Grabbed every Balmorra Heroic, did them in tandem with the Class quests for fast teleports to the correct areas On the side I ended up doing Athiss, as well, and I passively queue for all the other FPs needed because why not. I should probably queue for only the ones you can't do in Solo mode, but I don't know which ones those are. Total time played for all this is like... maybe 5 hours total?

Solo mode: On fleet: Black Talon Esseles Boarding Party Taral V The Foundry Maelstrom Prison Ilum story: Battle of Ilum The False Emperor Revan story: Assault on Tython Korriban Incursion Manaan Research Facility Legacy of the Rakata Blood Hunt Battle of Rishi These all have quests for them, you either get them from playing story quests or the NPCs on the fleet have purple quest icons and should say the FP when you hover over them. There's bound to be a guide if you Google it, but it's easy enough to just stumble upon them while playing.

A group of two players and two companions is ideal for running tactical flashpoints, if you can handle running to the instance portals. You also get significantly more XP and money for running heroics in a group. The fastest way to level is to have a friend!

OK, pick up groups are just not cutting it, can I interest ANYBODY into helping me finish HM Lost Island and Czerka Corporate Lab? The only two loving HM flashpoints I have left and nobody can bother focusing on what I tell them strategy-wise  . I'm available this weekend and pretty much any evening next week, so drat sick of being this close to done.EDIT: In the interest of making sure folks are informed: Lost Island and Czerka Corporate Labs.

Nerd Of Prey posted:A group of two players and two companions is ideal for running tactical flashpoints, if you can handle running to the instance portals. From my experience, going the two player route works rather well save for some situational spots like that one junction before the glass corridor in Hammer Station. But even with things like that, it's doable with some strategy and reading up on a particular boss fight or two.

Wow you guys weren't kidding about how easy it is to hit rank 5 valor, only took three BGs. I still hate pvp, but at least it's over. There's about Seven tactical fps and six chapters of kotfe left and I'll be done with what I want to do in DvL.

Ideally someone else can tank and heal, because lovely DPS has been an issue with previous runs but I can do whatever role.

I have Methest for healing and in a pinch can swap to Viafax to tank, though most of my assassin tank knowledge is just from reading class guides.

My Agent is rapidly climbing levels by doing story line quests, the main planetary series (which I have not seen Imp side), and heroics. Should be at 50 by the time I leave Nar Shaddaa

I just checked a level 17 Imp toon and they are definitely available in the group finder. Don't expect to be cheered if you join pub tacticals at that level, though. Your character will be level boosted to the appropriate level but you won't have the abilities or perks you need to be really effective for your class. shadok fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Nov 19, 2016 |

Cyron posted:i want to roll a jedi knight, what would be the best dps spec for guardian? Vigilance is overall better DPS right now, but it's a tiny margin while you're leveling. The DOTs and spread of DOTs is nice, but most stuff is going to die so quick it really doesn't matter much. Look at the specs and choose which one looks more fun for you. I personally prefer Focus/Rage as it just feels more powerful, and a fully charged Smash/Force Sweep is really fun. Are you going to PvP? Or just play the story? If you're just playing the story play whichever one looks more enjoyable, the margin of difference is so tiny unless you're doing endgame stuff that it really doesn't matter. Hell, you can even go tank spec in DPS gear and do some serious damage.

Trooper is the best story I've played because it hasn't (yet) pretended to be anything it can't actually accomplish. You go where you're told, when you're told. Job description and gameplay in lock step. General Great rear end Garza may struggle to talk with her mouth so full of your dick, but she knows she's the boss

Act 2 is "recruit these guys" and then "blow something up with these guys". Just salute and keep firing mortars. It feels like most of the level design was done with Trooper in mind too. The game is 90% long corridors filled with clumps of trash. I wonder what button I should push...

Yeah it's a little lame the couple of times they try to draw a personal connection, but it's never as big a deal as say the Jedi Knight's master's death, when you fall to your knees sobbing over a guy who is never around (even when he dies). When Dorne asks about it it's not even about you, really, she's dealing with her own defection issues and seeking reassurance.

I love the comparison between the trooper and knight. Trooper: Wow the enemy has stolen a superweapon, lets get that back before they wreak unimaginable havoc! Knight: One superweapon, SCRUB check out my FIVE!

Jedi Knight is the worst story I've played by some distance, despite a better than average cast of companions. It's full of stuff that's either dumb, way beyond what the game is capable of representing, or both that imprisonment & timeskip sequence. They pay lip-service to the idea you're some cool Jedi hero, but really you're just a soldier working for a dumbass failure of a general most of the time which is true to the films but it's frustrating to take an active role that kind of dissonance/hypocrisy. It's second only to Imperial Agent in terms of broken promises and plot threads that don't end up going anywhere. But Agent at least gets to make lemonade occasionally.

If you don't like the time skip in the Knight storyline you're going to LOVE KOTFE. Also trooper is a good first act but DrunkenGarbageCan and I are on the same page that act two and three suck. Bounty Hunter is like that too. Trooper is also a terrible game to play simply because it's got the most obscene amount of running back and forth to Coruscant. At least now they added a quick travel point to Senate Plaza.

I disagree, i think chapter 3 of the bounty hunter plot is very strong, i really like the way that the Republic just arrays literally everything political against you in order to try and take you out and you get to just have a gigantic rolling murder across all of known space until you kill your way to an apology and pardon. (Or to aditional murder).

You lose companions, the galaxy changes... until you start doing the alliance building quests and Republic and Empire are still scrapping on Ilum etc and the illusion gets shattered. Chapter 3 of Trooper is good so far. "A Sith Lord? I'm leaving"
