Bringing back Shae and Nico is a good move. Much nicer to start alts with an insta companion. Now if only they'd give us another chance at getting the HK story mission.

Cyrano4747 posted:is there anything that gets locked after you finish the available missions in KOTET? Mostly I'm looking at the star fortresses that i'm still working on. I want to know if those are always available to finish later or if there's a point where they get locked, kind of like what happens if you don't finish main quest stuff before starting in on KOTFE. You can do star fortresses anytime. I think them and the alliance alerts are always available.

finally beat the jedi consular storyline, bringing me up to... 2/8 classes finished in the 6ish years I've been playing this game. Leveling these days makes me regret all the time I wasted doing bonus series quests way back.  The story itself obviously never reached the same highs as the Agent's, but I really enjoyed it overall. Its first act has one of the more interesting "go to four planets and do these four formulaic things" hooks; and I enjoyed the other two acts just stuffing my ship with NPCs. As a character the consular is probably the most understated in the game, but I still found a lot to appreciate there - tactically deploying jedi sayings to the consternation of everyone was fun, they have a pretty good (but very dry) sense of humor at parts, and sometimes you just wanna be a cool and serene magic rock-throwing lady who talks good. Qyzen is one of the most unique companions in the game for being an alien that actually feels alien while still being a cool bro, and he never left my side. Unfortunately, as much as I appreciate the expedited experience, I wish it hadn't come at the cost of making the story's final boss take about as much effort to beat as a no-name gold mob. bit of an anticlimax

I barely remember the ending to the Consular story. Is that the one where you murder some dude in a basement? Because that one felt pretty abrupt.

I imagine you probably don't even need to interrupt anymore, your companion will probably tear him up before he gets a chance.

Yep, I have finished the Consular story couple of months ago, and at level 70 (because why you wouldn't be max level) the fight was over almost as soon as it started.

Hold aggro, hope for heals  Now sure I follow your question.Each class of tank works differently, I have only tanked with a Shadow/Assassin and that is really super fun with all of the cooldowns--its basically an evasion/mitigation tank. I am leveling a merc/trooper tank now and its more of a "get beat on and live" sort of thing. Faster to level as DPS with DPS companion though, then change over when you hit max level.

Recently got back into playing this. Been running around finishing up some stuff I had never done and leveling everyone to 70. Here's the screen shot for the contest. If anyone feels like doing Kaon Under Siege, let me know - been trying to get that done since it launched. I'm aware it's a huge pain in the rear end. I'm happy to offer cartel market stuff in trade for the help.

Same with Lost Island, which is really annoying given how much of a pain in the dick that was in HM when it first came out

Probably the one that's a random drop from the last bosses of 4 HM flashpoints that nobody runs anymore. Or maybe the one that drops from Kephess in Nightmare Explosive Conflict. We barely scraped together enough people to run that overleveled before the mandatory level sync was added, and even then we wiped several times to mechanics. Maybe one of the cartel market exclusive ones that I had to track down after they left common circulation, but before old packs started coming back on the market. It could be the one that requires a bunch of world boss, including multiple Nightmare Pilgrim, kills. I can't even imagine trying to get that done these days. Though honestly it's probably the one that was locked behind maximum space fleet reputation. I can't even explain how garbage the heroic space missions are, yet I wound up with two characters' ships in full grade 7 gear specifically for running them.

goddamn. I hate the space missions so much. I still have that world boss one sitting idle on my repub tank. Didn't pick it up until AFTER we had ran all the bosses of course  How long did you have to camp in CZ to get that Dessler? I mean when I looked at that achievement I went "lol nope" but since you posted I discovered a few are relatively easily finished. I'll never have it though edit: lol 25 points Bilirubin fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Apr 4, 2018 |

This reminds me of running the Section X boss to get the masks for the Nightmare Pilgrim, and a couple of guild mates got into some sort of bullshit contest where they kept applying the buffs to the boss, "I will!" No, I did!" "hahaha nope, I already did" and then our raid leader cut in with "uh, guys? He's glowing really bright, maybe stop?" Eventually we got him down but I think it cost me like a million in repairs

Picked this up having not played since... 2012. I have an old agent I did some raids on back then but his gear isn't relevant for the new level cap so decided I'd level up a sith warrior. It's... Not great? The main story campaign from back during release is really showing its age and the arbitrary padding of quests and bonus objectives is sort of annoying. I got to level 50 and I'm running around Illum but my question is does the quest experience get better? Is the expansion content not such a loving slog with every side quest a grind?

Pretty much everything past Illium is utterly lacking in side quests. It's just straight main quests. Now, some people hate the expansion stories. I think they're OK but not great, but there are some people who REALLY hate the KOTFE/KOTET plots. YMMV

I still follow this thread, but KOTFE killed everything I found interesting about the story and setting of TOR in favor of a super-railroady plot with lame villains and endless beige and grey corridors filled with skytroopers. Every once in a while I think about resubbing just for the 1-50 stories, maybe up through Shadow of Revan as well, but KOTFE is just terrible.

I didn't really hate the new storylines until the "traitor" plot where I felt like it jumped the shark real hard. What I did hate is the lack of replayability. I've played most of the class stories at least twice, some of them way more than that, and I still felt like they offered something new when you play a different character and make different choices. I played KOTFE one time with a Jedi Knight... and basically just stopped playing SWTOR after that.

KOTFE also feels really jarring to play it as a non-Force class, in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if the Force classes do overwhelmingly dominate the player base, but I first played through it on my Imperial Agent and it was really obvious that the story just plain was written for a different kind of character.

That is really noticeable, yeah. It's like they didn't even really try to write a story that would make sense for a non-force user (which is annoying because the base game was pretty good about making you feel like a scrappy veteran who could hang with the big dogs without having to join the space wizard club). Also that sucks Medullah, hope it's a quick recovery
