Anyway, something that wasn't revealed in the dev stream but has become apparent on the PTS is that 7.4 is bringing various graphical updates to old game assets!

Pryce posted:You mean like how Casey Hudson repeatedly said in company-wide meetings how proud he was of Anthem for being the 'first-ever live service game for BioWare' and how that team had done a great job teaching Bioware how server-based games operated and how they had solved problems no other BioWare game ever had to solve for multiplayer? And that even when corrected he'd double down and suggest that SWTOR 'didn't count'? And that he had to be constantly reminded to include SWTOR in company-wide meetings or announcements and had to constantly be proactively asked to congratulate SWTOR on shipping expansions or reaching milestones? Is this due to disdain for SWTOR or more because Casey was OG Edmonton and I've heard that Edmonton pretty much disregarded the BIoware name outside Edmonton?

Medullah posted:I always hear stories of how lovely goons are in other games, but I think we had a good group of guys playing when we were playing regularly. There are a ton of WoW goons so I can't really paint everyone with one brush of course, but there are plenty of good, sane, respectful people playing WoW. The "main" live Goon Squad is not the mid-2000s guild it was back in the mid-2000s, thank god. Most of us have grown up. Always outliers, but. That said I always have fun chatting on the SWTOR discord too except for the one weirdo who brings up politics for no reason. Arquinsiel posted:For me the difference was the playerbase.

Wow you've had some bad experiences, but. I have to admit my pubbie experiences in WoW and SWTOR are overall pretty similar. Some helpful folks, some terrible shitheads who will kick you for not knowing instance skips, and a lot of quiet people who exist in between those extremes. Edit: This all is not to bash SWTOR or laud WoW, to be clear. I love both games, I just don't think it's quite as simple as playerbase 1 bad, playerbase 2 good.

To be fair, there was a decade between my experience of one and the other. The internet has changed a lot in that timeframe.

Nothing concrete yet, but early-ish December seems likely. In the meantime, PvP Season 4 is starting this Tuesday.

I'm 100 percent back in. Got resubbed - started ANOTHER Sith Warrior. Bought the new Ashoka armor because it shows off your back and looks rad.

Shard posted:I'm 100 percent back in. Got resubbed - started ANOTHER Sith Warrior. Bought the new Ashoka armor because it shows off your back and looks rad. If you need any credits, I can help with that (I'm on Star Forge). Lately I've been on a kick where I go to a starting planet, set up shop, and basically advertise giving away 1 million credits to new/low level players, no strings attached. I've been playing on and off since shortly after launch and I have a lot of credits and honestly not a whole lot to spend them on. This game has treated me well over the years, and I like to pass that on. I've been thinking about starting over from scratch, but can't really decide on a class. I've done all of the class stories, though some I did quite a long time ago. It's been quite a long time since I did Trooper, Agent, or Smuggler. Tried Smuggler recently but the dialog really irritates me for some reason. Maybe Concealment Operative Trooper? Regardless of what storyline I choose, I have to have stealth. I just get so tired of slogging through the same mobs over and over again, and stealth is just fun. Honestly, separating class story from combat style was one of the best changes the game has made in a long time. I've also never tried a fully DS Inquisitor because I'm a huge softy, but I hear it's fun in a sadistic way.

I might have gotten some from you in the past haha. I remember I was on DK months back and someone handed out probably close to a billion credits to a bunch of players. I'm pretty sure I'm on Star Forge. Or Satele Shan one of the two.

700 matches from Elite Warlord, so - with luck - I will polish that off this season. Then I just need to Master Mode KotET and I am free, free!

Reinstalled on a whim, I've got all the class stories complete and a trooper at 66 where I got sick of the KOTFE story halfway through it coming out. What's the current kinda stuff I should be doing at that point?

What's the current kinda stuff I should be doing at that point? And if you can't be bothered to finish KotFE/KotET, you can also go to your ship and use the console near the big holoterminal to skip to either of the two storylines immediately following the aforementioned expansions. In general, either find that console or look at your mission list to find out what's next - more recent content will automatically give you the next mission if you've finished all solo stuff up to that point. All this being said: if you haven't done so yet, I'd definitely recommend reading the second (i.e. non-spoilery) part of this post to get an idea of how the game works in general now. There's been quite a few changes over the past years.

Welp, resubbed after about six months of not playing and found out the hundreds of millions of credits i had in legacy storage are gone. That kind of took the shine off my return.

No clue where or why. I'm only on one server. I put them all in before my last unsubscribe for easier access than paying cartel coins for escrow access, and I returned to zero.

I logged back in and all my credits were down to a million. when i resubbed they came back so I can say at least for me they didn't just disappear after 6 months. You may have been robbed.

Is it because of the credit cap if you aren't subscribed? You can only hold so many credits at a time as a f2p/premium player (the rest are held in escrow that you can draw from when you go below the cap), though I'd hope that would be communicated in a way that doesn't make it feel like you've gone bankrupt the first time you log in after a long break.

I got one and I've been subscribed since day one, never missed. Do you remember your first 5 hours in SWToR? uhhh that was eleven years ago... Yeah then it went into questions about my F2P experience...  I put in random answers to see all the questions and apparently you can't go back so oh well.My man just give me Star Wars stories with choices that matter not this railroad poo poo where I watch Shae Vizla do neat stuff while my character is basically a bystander. Also stop loving with the UI for no reason. Medullah posted:I didn't get it. 104. You're probably getting confused with the per character limit of 4.29 billion.

More productively: first off, since it seems you're capped at the number of weekly seasonal things you can do should you just do the highest return ones? And is there any point to getting more conquest points past your personal and guild weeklies?

StashAugustine posted:More productively: first off, since it seems you're capped at the number of weekly seasonal things you can do should you just do the highest return ones? And is there any point to getting more conquest points past your personal and guild weeklies? Really depends on if you are trying to finish the season. If you're just now starting, you'll want to do the 12 point ones along with the daily 2 points for getting 25k conquest points. A tip for this one, clicking one Reputation item per day gives you 45k points, so you can get every day's points with one click. We're 7 weeks into GS5 so you'll likely not hit the 800 points you need, but you can try. I actually have a spreadsheet I can post that does the math for you if you'd like. There is no personal advantage to getting more than 100k other than helping your guild hit the invasion target so you get rewards the following week as well.

One of the changes I've been wanting for awhile is for Conquest rewards to be tiered...say basic rewards at 100k, better at 500k, best at 1000k for example. Do this with the Weeklies you can repeat as well...instead of a single 0/12 Weekly do 0/36 and give better rewards every 12 points.
