Let's celebrate with screenshots or videos of you launching missiles or orbital strikes or fireworks! Best 3 win a prize! Two weeks deadline!

Now, you may be thinking 'but Medullah, I play a class which doesn't have missiles or orbital strikes or fireworks!' In that case go find one of the many areas in the game with big fuckoff missiles, explosions and/or fireworks and incorporate them into your work. The bigger the better! Maybe you could go run a ship battle and get some wicked footage of you blowing up the enemy being totalled by your missile swarms? Perhaps a trip to Cademimu to visit General Ortol for some rocket tips? You decide!

To give you an idea of what's up for grabs courtesy of NE:
Plus countless other bits and pieces such as companion creatures and bots.

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.

If there's another companion I'll do it all again and will, indeed, complain the entire time.

Someone was trying to decorate it with some level of effort a while back, but then just went nuts and dumped crap in it. I picked up most of the decorations for guild ship decos after Oedzi passed away.

On a related note, when we get the new stronghold, is there anyone who would really want to decorate it? Like, take time and effort?

I'm up to play dollhouse at least as far as the decoration limits allow.

I just dropped TOR because I hated Knights of the Fallen Empire and nothing about Eternal Throne has made me want to come back. I'm certainly open to coming back if a future expansion includes content and story I care about.

You say this like it's not the healthy, sane thing to do when you've wrung pretty much every last drop of good out of a 6 year old game. Even completing every last class to me seems a little bonkers.

Edit: did Oedzi seriously die or just quit in favor of FFXIV?

I play until I hit a wall where logging in seems a monumental pain in the rear end, then do something else. Right now I am giving Fallout: New Vegas a first time play through. Will be back in TOR at some point as I still have classes not yet played

First time logging in for over a year. Why is half of my inventory converted into items that are locked in the Collections menu? All of that garbage that I got from opening crates is now locked behind another paywall? Obnoxious.

It's the same as it's always been - if you haven't bound the item, it remains locked in collections. Otherwise you could just sell the item. So if it's a toy or weapon, once you equip or use it, it's bound and unlocks for that character in collections, and can be unlocked for your account for a CC cost.

Armor pieces will not unlock in Collections until you equip ALL PIECES in the set on THE SAME character.

When I left the items were displayed as the boxes (or whatever you want to call them) that contained the items, and once you opened them they became bound. I don't remember any of them requiring additional purchases to unlock/use. What you're saying is that it is just a cosmetic change with a new tooltip?

Well there have been a few cosmetic changes. Can you show me an example screenshot of what you're talking about? Either way, the items aren't truly bound until they've been equipped. There's definitely no additional pay wall added.

I've been playing off and on for some months, enjoying the class stories. I'm a sucker for choose-your-own-adventure video games. Sadly, as an MMO, you can't undo decisions and my Agent told Darth Jones that yes, Sith Jonestown would be a wonderful thing. Oops. I do wish a character could boot companions. My agent is little Miss Imperial Fangirl and Kaliyo's burn it all down style doesn't sit well.

I'm also trying out warzones, just to get to 14 valor so I can buy Imperial flags for my Vancouver Kass City apartment. Imperial barbie is important to me.

PvP gonna be interesting tomorrow evening. Orbital Strike not interrupting objectives was unneeded but whatever. If you've been playing Corruption and your Madness game is rusty remember 4 stacks of Wrath->Recklesness->Force Leech->Death Field->Demolish.

Really wish they'd bump Death Field up to 6 meters.

I played all of 4.0 doing pretty much nothing BUT Madness sorc, it'd be nice if they were viable in PvP again. I understand they can't be as OP as they were in 4.0, but man did they take a hit.

I'm actually all for less poo poo interrupting node capping. Actually having to have people intentionally try and stop you from capping rather than spamming AOEs is great. I'd be all for it going to like they WERE going to make it where AOEs wouldn't stop you at all. It'd be nice to have less than 16 minute Voidstar matches. :D

Did you play on the PTS when AoE's didn't stop caps? The meta devolved real quick into the entire team spam capping since you couldn't stop everyone, especially if you were melee heavy. The team that got to the node first won every single time.

It was basically have Predation on your team or lose.

Ugh I guess that would suck. I just get so sick of no objective matches. I think the Plasma Probe and Orbital changes will help a lot as engineering invincible Sniper is currently the most annoying.

That said, RIP Toxic Haze not stopping caps, now I'll have to actually put some effort in when I'm outnumbered and guarding a node rather than playing grab rear end and running around waiting for it to come back up.

Had plenty of times where AoEs were the only way to actually hit the guy at the door because the enemy team was coordinated enough to stack up and have multiple people spam it. Tab targeting doesn't get through that poo poo effectively enough.

Edit: To make it a game of skillful coordination vs skillful coordination, it's a lot easier to have a team spam a door than to arrange targets for each person on your team to smack to disrupt that kind of thing.

Holy poo poo those are great Non-entity.

In other news, in their zeal to stop people from abusing the legacy weapon crystal/tuning exploit, they have effectively ruined the concept of Legacy weapons by not allowing them to be mailed or stored in legacy vaults if they have a Cartel Market crystal or tuning. Nice work!
