I didn't see the article said Mission was coming, cool! Bastila and Jolee update live now. I'm glad they kept her double bladed lightsaber. Looks like Nest is now available in Chromium backs...yay.

Man, just having store being an option when you want to level up gear is really great. There's way more options to get a lot of stuff so that makes it way easier to do rather than just hunting around everywhere.

since only top 50 get crystals, folks don't pour a lot into it, so the top is the same few dozen people just trading places.

Yeah, averaging 375 crystals a day just from fleet arena really helps in this game.

Hadn't looked at the new characters, but wow, a support and a healer! Just what jedi were missing!

I seriously doubt that in case of Jolee, his kit is bad for arena. Bastila looks fine but I would hardly call her kit amazing if you compare it to Traya. In fact her kit is designed to kill your team if you are against Traya lead :D

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Apparently the devs told the game changers these characters were not designed to specifically defeat Traya (obviously based on all the buffs and assists lol) so we will just have to wait for Revan and her new leadership "Disable Traya's leadership & unique + 3 pages of bullshit that requires 5 zetas and makes all your jedi invincible"

Well yeah why would the KotOR1 characters be able to beat Traya? Her entire thing is that Revan and his team were a bunch of dumbdumbs who didn't actually accomplish anything.

The Jedi Exile, on the other hand, will have the ability to make any enemy Trayas switch sides at the beginning of battle.

Until Reven stabs her in the back and joins the Sith Emperor because that stupid book was about setting up Biowares MMO rather than giving a satisfying ending for one of the most popular EU characters.

I really hate the Arena, i never bother to try because 90% of the time my choices are 2 teams that are fully zeta'd and yellow gear leveled, or a team with 30k more power than my best team.

Look at their speed, my EP team can easily beat teams 20k+ higher than it if my darth Vader goes first

I genuinely think the people at BioWare got mad that Obsidian wrote a way better story than they ever have just by poking at all the holes they left in the narrative so they sandbag everything KotOR2 related. That's why the MMO has statues of all the KotOR1 PCs, but the Jedi Temple doesn't have them for the Handmaiden, Atton, Visas and Mira even though those are the people who reformed the order.

Basically this. Obsidian did a brilliant deconstruction of Star Wars, and quite frankly left a nice hook to weld KOTOR's reconstruction and KOTOR 2's deconstruction together in three. But we can't have nice things. At least I got to kill Revan in the MMO. Twice.

Just so I don't waste time, from the Bastila and Jolee events, you can only get friendship points and not shards or mods from doing them more than once?

Maybe i should try TOR again, I got to the Sith Throneworld on my Bounty Hunter and Sith characters and the game just ground to a halt.

Yea i cleared out the top battles for them and they both just gave me 20 friendship points per battle.

So, I'm trying to prep for the next CLS event, i'm at the battle with just Luke and Han. I have STH at GLX, and working on Luke for that, but I'm not sure who i'll also need to improve.

Is there an easy way to tell which of your characters your allies can use? IIRC one is your arena leader, and the other is the last leader of the opposite faction (light/dark) that you used in a mission, or something?

It’s whoever you used as a Lead last in that mode.

If you want to change your ally that shows up, just do a cantina/DS/LS battle without winning and use the leader you want to make availiable.

pinged you on the SM chat, but bro, don't put your no-zeta EP leader up on the front line again.

Zeta the leader at least and stick'em in bottom 2/3 until you sort that out.

My problem with TW is that it gets to a point where I can actually do anything when I'm asleep or at work so I can't really do anything. My best team, made purely of my top characters tops out at 70k power, and my most effective team is 67k. Everyone seems to front load their TW defenses with 80+, so I go in and get wiped out before my team can do anything, and its basically pointless. Last TW we had though I managed to catch it at the tail end and get 4 victories in.

I was running zJyn, cassian/K2, R2, and Fulcrum for the longest time in arena. Never had a decent Chaze but the others were all zetaed out.

And now of course I've moved on to other things so Chaze are sitting at g9 or something forever.
