Yeah, who ever heard of a mobile home? Ridiculous!

As somebody who works with homeless people in my community on a regular basis, I could actually give you a VERY detailed answer to that question, but I like my joke answer better.

As far as I could tell when I came back a few weeks ago there's nothing to do.

I mean, you can grind command xp but why? So you can run a nonexistent raid? You could level another character, but past 50 why? It's the same story. You don't even have different companions anymore.

PvP is active at least. It seemed nigh impossible to get any other queue to pop though. Fleet is a ghost town.

I do log in from time to time, mostly to check the Cartel Market. Lately I've been playing Champions Online and LOTRO more. I will eventually shift to playing SWTOR more, but after everything involved with the Zakuul stuff, part of me just doesn't have the energy to slog through it and I'm curious to see what they put out from here to see where things go. I did hear the other day or so that they might have a tentative settlement with the voice actor strike and if that's true, perhaps we'll see more companions come back.

Yeah my current pastime is riling those people up. Along with yelling at people who complain about how terrible Galactic Command is that they don't need gear for anything but hard mode raiding and then your gear comes from raiding.

My favorite is when someone posts something reasonable about how the nerfs aren't the end of the world and they get immediately accused of being a secret BioWare dev.

New roadmap is up.

quote:

In our most recent Crisis on Umbara update (Game Update 5.4), players faced a deadly decision for your Alliance as you were forced to track down a traitor in your midst! There’s been lots of speculation about why this has happened, why anyone would betray the Alliance, and how we could allow such a horrible situation to occur. We know how impactful this has been on you, so perhaps knowing the story transitions to the Chiss on the planet Copero will give you a bit of insight as to what may happen on November 28 in A Traitor Among the Chiss (Game Update 5.6)! Although I won’t reveal where things are going after that, I can confirm that the thrilling conclusion to this chapter of the story is coming early next year… on a planet you probably wouldn’t expect to return to.

We know Companions make this game feel totally different while pulling on your emotions and making conversations exciting, frustrating, and extremely entertaining. We’ve given you the ability to customize many of them including Theron, Lana, Shae, Koth, and Senya, while at the same time changed how some interact with you. We continue to discuss ways of reintroducing you to your original Companions and will be returning several of them over the coming months. As we did with Crew Skill Missions, we’ll look to improve how you gain Influence with your Companions to increase their overall effectiveness.

We're going to be going back to Makeb, aren't we? Or maybe Quesh.

Oh, and:

quote:

Unlock new achievements when you complete multiplayer activities using Group Finder and earn the merciless Darth Hexid Companion!

So we get the other DvL comp anyway as expected.

West coast best coast. :smug:

quote:

Legacy Perk – For each character that reaches Command Rank 300, we will automatically add an additional 25% bonus CXP to your entire Legacy up to a maximum of 100%. You do need to purchase the initial 25% perk, but the additional 75% will be free. And, YES, this Perk is retroactive, so you will immediately benefit once we deliver United Forces Foundation.

Also with A Traitor Among the Chiss, we’re changing how Disintegrate works – instead of receiving more CXP, we will provide you with Unassembled Components for armor and weapons. In addition, you can send those components to any character in your Legacy as we’re changing these to be Legacy-bound consumables.

My idea was to add UC's to Heroics but this works too. I think I've got 8 Rank 300 chars at this point and a few I don't want to PvP on are stuck on the 248 grind. This also helps my 4 full-248-in-every-spec chars who have been maxed on UC's for awhile.

Looks like quite a few good changes.

Read the United Forces faq. Sounds to me like it will be a combo cross server/ faction queue, which would be nice.

Hopefully the person who has Cranraspberry on JC is one of the people who hasn't played in forever, so they will lose it when the servers merge. I think someone has Cranapple there too. The bastard/s.

You can pick population on Harbinger or goons on Jedi Covenant, not both.
