Oh yeah, speaking of Swtorista (for the umpteenth time), she's doing her annual birthday event this Saturday. Details here! Should be fun.

Sombrerotron posted:Regular single player content should never really give you trouble - certainly not if you're still working your way through the original planets. To be honest I'm not sure how good companions are at tanking nowadays because I always put them on either healing or DPS, but for a largely relaxed experience you'll generally want them to be healing you. If they can't keep up, I would recommend doing two things first: The majority of the information in this guide seems to be aimed at max level, which does leave me wondering about how much of it might actually be suboptimal at my level. Like (for TK sage) without that level 78 passive that makes Project do additional damage after Mind Crushing somebody is it even worth it to hit Project?

To be honest, if you have at least some idea of what you're doing it would be quite difficult to mess up any combat style's rotation at level 32 to such an extent that normal SP content is making life difficult for you. Similarly, gear should not matter much in those conditions either. But if you're having difficulty and the issue not with your companion, then I'd certainly be looking at improving your rotation and/or gear. Also, part of optimising your use of abilities is just in using as many in as short a time as possible of course (without running out of your combat style's equivalent of stamina/mana) - especially if you find yourself fighting to stay alive. Even if you can't max out your abilities' damage potential yet, you might be able to at least speed up your rotation to increase damage output.

Has anyone else been constantly crashing to desktop since the update? I had at least 5 while doing a couple of Hammer Station runs, then a couple after that.

Someone tell me what class I should play. Or at least, should i be pew pew or vroom vroom? Can't decide between maybe a smuggler or a dps knight.

Whatever you go for, I recommend one of the classes with Steath, or making one of them your secondary.

My favorite of all time is Vanguard but every time I come back for a brief stint I make one of those, so looking for something different. Right now I am leveling a Guardian which seems OK. Did I make a mistake making Juggernaut my secondary? Maybe I’ll just make a smuggler and a commando and level them to 10 and see which one I’m vibing more.

All right, so! More tech developments: there's a new cloud test server (Shae Vizla) up until the 18th. It's primarily for the APAC region, but nothing's stopping you from logging on anyway if you're living on the other side of the globe. Conveniently, it'll be right there in the server selection screen if you log in on your account right now - no additional downloads or configuration needed! Note that you can copy an existing character straight to the Shae Vizla server via your SWTOR.com profile. Anyhoo, if you do some stuff before the PTS closes again you'll get an Opal Vulptilla mount. Some more details: quote:This is a continuation of our effort to modernize and update the game with the focus to improve the player experience and optimize tech that is used by the team. Some of the benefits to this migration are: quote:We will be granting the Opal Vuptilla Mount to players who achieve the following:

This may seem like a silly thing to want and probably be a lot more work than needed but I wish I could use different weapons/animations in different classes. Like iunno an assault cannon on a sniper or dual wield lightsabers for an assassin. Purely an aesthetic thing for me tbh.

It's been something people have wanted for years, but it would be an enormous programming undertaking. You'd have to design animations for every ability (even if you steal from other abilities, it still has to be programmed) and then you'd have to somehow balance weapon damage. It'll never happen.

My move is to just block them so the message changes to something like “[player] spits on thin air” or whatever the message is. I once had some edgelords slap me 100 times for suboptimal play in kuat drive yards and it was fun to watch them miss suddenly Not as fun as playing with normal people but you opt out of that when you play swtor with randos

I found that given how toxic the general chat is people never report poo poo, so when you do report something it tends to get actioned pretty quickly. I remember getting a few messages from really pissed off shitlords who blamed me for timeouts. Which I then reported again

Just subscribing isn't enough to unlock a second combat style, right? You have to be a subscriber and finish chapter 3 of your origin story?

If you subscribe I think you get an automatic lvl 70 boosted character and you can do it right away. But other than that you have to do all the class quests yeah

I tried Gunslinger and I just wasn’t vibing the cover mechanic. Rolled Scoundrel and liking it a lot more, plus the ability to swap to healing when I want to. I’m 50 and still haven’t picked my secondary combat style though. Not sure what to go with.

I got a Steam Deck awhile back and given that SWTOR's class mission is about as close to comfort food as I can get, it was one of the first things I setup. To my surprise, the whole thing works remarkably well. To give a bit of an idea on how I've mapped everything:
Of course, I won't ever be able to participate in anything big, but so far, the experience is exactly what I've been needing. I'm only up to Level 20 so far, so I'm not sure how well this will continue to work as I get more powers, but I'm assuming that I'll be able to not run into too many issues with a healing companion. All I'm really interested in is going through some class stories again. The game works surprisingly well to pick up and quickly do a couple of quests in the story. I'm also using Steam Link on a regular basis to play on my television and it plays pretty relaxingly there as well. If you have a Steam Deck, I'd heartily suggest giving it a try.

Sooooooo it's been a little quiet recently as Galactic Season 4 and PvP Season 2 have just been rolling along, but things are happening! Maybe. If nothing else, you have two more days to log in for another droid pet. Go on then, you know you want to. Possibly more exciting, though, is the livestream about update 7.3 planned for this Wednesday (3 May) at 1 p.m. CT/6 p.m. UTC! They'll be talking about the update's "story elements and other content". 7.3 will apparently bring more class balance changes and economic credit changes, but apart from that and continuing the main story where 7.2 left off, it's anyone's guess right now what else it might include.

All right, live stream's finished. You can rewatch it here if you like (disregard that it's mislabelled "7.2 Game Update Livestream", this is the 7.3 one). First things first: there's a new code, LotsSahar, which you can redeem for a very nice Sa'har Stronghold poster. Be sure to do it before 18 May! Similarly, if you log in between tomorrow (4 May) and the 18th, you will get a new boxy droid pet! Wheeeee !! More materially, from 7.3 (which will supposedly be ready "soon") we can expect the following:
