I've gotta say, after running through Imperial Balmorra four times it was very satisfying to finally kill Darth Lachris as the Consular.

Between playing swtor and paying for ANOTHER sa account Juno is ultra good and spending his money poorly

Speaking of spending my money poorly, what's up with character transfer costs? I shifted one for free yesterday, then another today for 90 cc. Does it go up, or is it like gas where it just fluctuates at random?

You get one free transfer with a referral link click, then 90cc (which is technically down from like 800cc perpetually "on sale")

So good news, got my new PC working and up and running. There seems to be some known issues with SWTOR and Windows 10 with the latest updates (Because of course) but works pretty neat.

I started tooling around with the built in game video capturing, which is really easy to use. Recorded these for anyone that is looking for some quick CXP points from Planetary missions - Ziost weekly in 9 minutes and Black Hole (Imperial, with stealth) in 14 minutes. No sound on Ziost because I forgot to check that box. No judging my UI, there's still some trimming needed there with the new PC.

Edit - I already did the actual Weekly missions for these so they weren't included in the mission rewards.

I spent a while trying to figure out if the 2-cull or 3-cull virulence rotation works better and 3-cull came ahead very slightly. I guess the margin would be better with crit augments since even the regular 3-cull rotation is too energy-starved without better equipment.

3 Cull has been the standard "top DPS" rotation since 3.0 at least, but it requires finesse to pull it off properly. I haven't played my Sniper too much since 5.0 launched but I generally stuck with 2 cull even when I was doing Hard Modes since it was more reliable and the DPS increase for 3 Cull wasn't enough to make me sweat my timing.

If you decide you want to upgrade your gear, I can make a bunch of 234/240 stuff if you provide the mats. Same goes for Augments.

This is amazing, and I assume the flourish is it going from horizontal to vertical. :D

FYI there is a sale going right now, 50% off unlocking items in collections.

For those that don't know - most Cartel Items you buy and use on a character are added to their personal collection, so they can reclaim them at any time. For an additional amount of cartel coins (400,240,60 depending on rarity) you can unlock the items account wide. Right now those costs are 200,120 and 30.

I've said it many times in this thread - unlocking items in collections can *only* be done with cartel coins, so it's a good time to unlock a few mounts/armor/whatever if you have some coins floating around.

Because they aren't cartel items. They're bought off a vendor.
