Those are some good ideas. I'm remaining optimistic. What's your stance on PVP since they're discussing Bolster? Are you a "gear shouldn't matter" guy? I think it might be just one or two grades too low right now, but there needs to be an advantage for people who spend the time to get the gear. And for people worried about raiders walking in and owning everyone because of their gear, I say pshaw. Gear adds an advantage, but even at 238 bolster vs 248 raider, if the raider doesn't know how to PvP and the bolstered one does, it'll still be no contest. Though maybe I'm just partial because I'm currently mostly 248 and am so loving completely melting people with my Operative. Got 7 out of 8 kills on an arena, and the Sniper we targeted first literally had zero damage he died so quick.

Augments and Set Bonus matter, 10 ilevels do not. Like you say if the only difference is 10 ilevels you shouldn't be getting blown up, the other player was just better. My Jugg hit 70 on Mon evening by the time I went to bed last night he was GC 184. People who whine about "gear gap" are really just salty they have to do PvE at all. Like I've said before if you're that PvE phobic there are much better games for PvP. The only change I'd make is either allow people to earn Tokens lvling up or sell 230 gear for credits. I'd also get rid of 244 blue gear at tier IV and up the chance of 246/248.

I'm fine with the blue gear, though increased 246/248 would be nice. Just having two characters at GC 300 has gotten almost all of my important alts in full 244/246 gear. Used tokens to even out the set bonuses so I have all 14 sets with 230+ armorings.

If they do the DvL event again I don't see how it would be any different...lvl every class, run every FP, do KotFE, a handful of WZ's and GS matches. The only thing to add is do KotET and maybe something with GC. How many people would do all that same stuff again?

Running through a smuggler makes me appreciate how interesting it is not to have spooky mind powers. Risha's telling the Smuggler about how this one guy makes Skavak look like a Jedi Padawan, and one of the responses is 'The gently caress is a Jedi Padawan?' I mean I'm down with the spooky mind powers classes in general, but it's great to see the other classes throw some shade on them.

I'd at least consider it.

Considering how absolutely obsessed people were with tearing through the event content even though it was the same stuff they've been doing before, they'll completely be going crazy doing it all again and complaining about it profusely while marathoning it all.

I'm F2P thinking about doing a month-long sub. I'm interested in creating 8 characters (one for every class on each faction). According to a FAQ on the SWTOR Reddit community, it says that previous subscribers can have 10 active character slots per server. But this Web site says that preferred status players who have had a subscription since 4.0 can have 8: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/character-slots-and-active-characters-in-swtor/ Can someone please clarify?

I am nearly positive it's 8. If you can swing it, a really good deal is the 90 day subscription pack from Amazon . That is $40, same price as a 90 day sub, but also cones with a free mount and some cartel coins. You can use those coins to buy extra slots. Also, as long as you make all your characters when you're a sub, you can choose whichever 8 you want to keep playing, the extra ones don't disappear.

Actually since they gave you an extra slot when 4.0 launched and another when 5.0 launched, it would be true that if you were a sub since then you would have 10. But if you're a new subscriber chances are it's still 8.

So, if you've subscribed after December 2016, you can create eight characters starting from level one per server, but you also can create two boosted characters starting at 60 or 65 for Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne. With the two single-use boosts, you could have 10 character slots on a

Sounds about right. The two slots don't have to be boosted though, you just have the option. I never recommend using a boosted character unless it's for an advanced class you've already seen the story for, since boosted characters skip the original stories and Shadow of Revan.

I assumed the Dark Sanctuary (it's my number one question too) was his real body but guarantee it was just put there as McGuffin without thought and maybe it'll be used and maybe it won't. Who knows though...it's just as likely to be the Gobbledy Gooker, KotFE/KotET is such a kludgy tangle of plot holes and contradictions. It says something about the quality when a dev has to post an explanation... Cribbing from someone on the official forum my Jugg never wanted to be the leader of some Alliance he wants to be the fist of a renewed Empire. Also sigh why can't Unassembled Components be legacy bound...my Sorc has full 248 heal and dps and is now capped on Unassembled Components.

Hoping that comes sooner rather than later. Not only because my Operative is close to cap, but now I have a bunch of alts that I'll never play who have 20 from the Introduction to Conquest quest.

Nothing I hadn't already guessed, personally. Still doesn't make Valk a compelling or interesting villain, and reinforces my impression that the story really was written with the Jedi Knight and to a lesser extent the Sith Warrior in mind as protagonists.

Valkorian's alright in that pseudo-deep philosiphical Matrixy don't think too hard kind of way, he's no Doug Bradley Vitiate though. It's Arcann and Vaylin that drag the whole thing down. Kinda like Godzilla 2014 where Godzilla appears for like 5 minutes and the other 100 minutes are poo poo nobody cares about.
