Torian is a Mandalorian and his job is to die a glorious death like a Klingon. He shouldn't have even let himself be captured, he should have thrown himself at Vaylin holding a thermal detonator Jace Malcolm-style :colbert:

Things I was not expecting: I knew they would try to make me feel sympathetic towards Arcann and even Vaylin, but I didn't think they'd actually do a good job of it.

Did you not see the KOTFE cinematic trailer with Arcann & his brother in it?

I thought Crit was still pretty much "Gimme gimme" since 4.0? That you get enough power from armorings and mods that you don't need to worry about it?

Kind of. If you slot for 100/110% Acc and then Alacrity 6-9% you're not going to have enough stat budget leftover to really worry about Crit diminishing returns especially on introductory gear. Acc is the most important stat and now that it reduces the GCD non-DR Alac is a straight DPS increase for everyone. Alac starts heavy DR at ~8% and Crit at ~39%.

The real argument is PvP builds that don't need Acc and for whom Alac is iffy. These are ticky tack points that don't really matter until you've been wiping on HM Revan and your guild is turning into an episode of Survivor.

As interesting as the new lore is, I do wish they just continued with the KOTOR lore, there is so much from the comics and KOTOR 2 to draw from. I realize they wanted to go in a totally new direction, given that they thought KOTOR was about Revan, but I preferred KOTOR 2. Too bad all we get as a reference to KOTOR 2 is the Exile (outside of the cosmetic gear, Kreia's robes for example).

So does the command XP requirement go up higher every time you level? Or does it plateau at some point, because if it doesn't plateau, that's one hell of a grind to get remotely geared.

Yes, and it caps at 300, though afterwards you still technically "level" and get loot boxes every time you hit an XP threshold.

edit: Also I finally decided to knock out the warzones for the Booming Vocoder quest today, which turns out was good timing because the CXP bonus is currently set to those. Huttball and Voidstar are fun. Arenas and Novare, decidedly less so. Hypergate is p. cool specifically because it borrows from the Death Star briefing animation in ANH for the overload phase.

I got to GC rank 8 tonight, nearly 9, on the strength of thinking that there were only like 15 ranks. There are 300 ranks. And what am I going to use this high-end gear for exactly once I grind out getting it? There's no more single player content and nobody wants to do anything in groups anymore.

dulfy has the cxp requirements, the amount needed goes up pretty slowly. http://dulfy.net/2016/11/29/swtor-galactic-command-guide/

I'm already bored with grinding cxp and I'm only at 16.

More like the timing for heroics aren't consistent. The original ones (Korriban/Coruscant/Hoth...etc..) are weekly but then others like the ones for Ziost are daily with a weekly one that's more of a here's a freebie since you've done the others kinda thing.

Well to be fair she gets a little bit of characterization once you learn that Valkorian gave her the Rose Kennedy to block some of her Force power since he knew she'd become more powerful than him some day.

Played for two and a half hours tonight. Between heroic missions (all of DK and Imp Balmorra's) and 4 space missions, I got 8 levels. Then i spent the next half hour doing normal missions on nar Shaddaa and got another level.

9 levels in less than 3 hours. I honestly don't understand how anyone can be under leveled.

Same. I'm dying and this idiot who I saved earlier is making jokes (or being serious, which is even worse)?

Now I have access to legacy force choke I'm going to have a hard time not using it constantly on every character.

3 hours is a long time.

I can do three story planets in 3 hours. That's the content I enjoy.

I'm not going to spend 3 hours just leveling up. Levels have literally no value to me beyond accessing the story. It's wasted time. I've deleted most of my characters I've finished the class stories for.
