On the other hand it is much cooler to humiliate Arcann with a blaster, than to be slightly better than him with laser swords.

On the other hand I did get a free Droid buddy today, so that totally makes up for it. Because, ye know, I'll actually use it slightly.

Other than Lokin, ZO-OM, and Shae, are there any other companions with unique skills? Edit: I'm finally catching up to the stuff just before Onslaught, I still can't figure out why SWTOR writers think it's "light side" to keep someone alive for lots of torture, likely betrayal of secrets/friends, and eventual death, probably in the most painful way possible, versus just killing someone cleanly outright. nessin fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Nov 15, 2019 |

Jan posted:Now that all companions can be any spec, they should reinstate this. This was also the case in beta, and they made the one change after the other change messed things up. The implementation of companion specs in beta was poo poo, though, from what I recall; it was good that they got rid of that version of it. Something about having to equip skill modules; needlessly complicated. Now you don't even have to gear those dudes.

For years I wondered loudly why they didn't just give people a placeholder trooper companion or something to preserve the story and mechanical aspect if they couldn't make companions switch specs. Fun fact is that I actually bought my forums account to come post about this game back at launch. Feels like a lifetime ago now.

I'm bored and apparently hate myself enough to try out another MMO so I'm downloading this and used the referral. Does it matter which side I go with to eventually play with you guys if I enjoy it, like are you mostly on the sith/Jedi side or evenly split? I'm also a little confused from what I read, it looks like you can choose either side and go lightside or darkside? Does your initial character creation determine who you can be grouped with or does your light/dark points or whatever? A tl;dr of that would be appreciated

Light side\Dark side doesn’t mean poo poo except for story choices. You can’t group with the opposing faction but PvP Warzones are cross-faction to help with every server being Imp dominated. PvE is same faction only and there are group finders for basically everything. The larger a guild is the better bonuses and Conquest rewards you’ll get. If you want to talk to goons creating a private chat channel would be the better solution.

Yeah, we have guilds but we've been dead for years. If you don't care about Conquest and just want to see the sexiest guild ship on Star Forge, TNG is where it's at though. For social activities, hop in Discord, there we chat.

I watched it the first day, and watching it was the first time I saw it. It's not a huge deal, just saying SA rules are generally better safe than sorry. But anyway, changing subjects. This new gearing system still has a bit too much RNG but good lord it's addicting to a spreadsheet nerd like myself.

To me it just feels like playing Destiny. You grind for better gear which allows you to grind for better gear and each piece of gear lets you find the fancier higher level gear. Gearing is a leveling system now.

Except it really isn't much of a grind. I got to 306 item rating in one night of playing, with enough tech fragments to get a few tacticals and set pieces. And I wasn't chain running Hammer Station. Full random group finder is where it's at. My biggest complaint is that PvP and Operations aren't viable for gearing right now, which is dumb.

The wild part is 306 gear doesn't even matter, it's smoke and mirrors. Tacticals matter but are trivial to earn. It's the non-generic Set Bonuses that are currently seperating the haves and have-nots. That and Tactical switching abuse...shout out to my Lethality Op who enters combat with two charges of Holotraverse and Debilitate, drops 100k+ of AoE, then blasts the weakest target for 100k of burst, then stealth out to recharge it all back. I'm breaking 10k DPS in full length WZ's lol.

Turned in the Great Hunt to the Huntmaster, and hit escape when the conversation auto played by reflex. Noticed some dude standing there I could talk to, and ignored him because I can talk to him afterwards, right? Turns out nope, he vanishes with everyone else in the phase if you don't escape out of the autoplay conversation and manually talk to him. Weird that they'd include an NPC like that who only ever does anything if you specifically break the game sequence. I wonder if he's important?

Tactical switching out of combat is simple, just have hotkeys set up for each tactical. Swapping out set bonus gear is a wee bit more challenging. I suspect they'll eventually make tacticals not work in PvP.
