Waldorf Sixpence posted:There are some mounts and a lot of legacy gear sets. You won't lose the ability to hand those crates in so don't worry about missing out. You can carry on with the story and just hand those crates in as and when you feel like it. There are some associated achievements with the Star Fortresses though so you'll want all the alliance members to rank 10 at some point if you want that. The crates drop comp gifts, too.

Medullah posted:I saw a post noting that you're far better off wearing your old 208 PvP gear into a warzone rather than your 230 Tier 1 Galactic Command stuff due to bolster You are and that's what had me angry last night. If you have full 208 there's no clear upgrades from GC til tier 3. Edit: In PvP. I don't understand why BW makes Bolster so complicated...Bolster MH/OH to the max, don't bolster Ear, Implants, Relics, or Augments at all, and any Armorings, Mods, or Enhancements below 224 purple get Bolstered to 224 purple. Make an introductory quest that rewards 224 Ear, Implants, and Relics after completing a single WZ, win or lose, just like you get a lvl 10. I would go a step further and put the 208 sets for sell for credits on Fleet with a lvl 65 requirement.

Figured if anyone might know, it'd be you guys. On the SWTOR forums someone asked what gets remembered/defaulted to if you skip KotFE and go straight to KotET which got me wondering what could happen if someone decides to skip KotFE/ET completely for whatever the next expansion is?

I was checking out the costume contest entries on a lark, and I remember this one was pretty cool:Coq au Nandos posted:Late entry, but I got nostalgic about the Bantam book era, in which all Jedi wore jumpsuits because the prequels hadn't been released yet. What set's this from?

Red letter media did a good job pointing it out but it's dumb as hell that brown robes are the official costume of the Jedi because of the prequel. They're supposed to be knights, it's a wasted opportunity that they didn't get cool space armor, or maybe colorful space renaissance type cloths with big fancy hats. Even the shiny armor that generic sith grunts wear in KOTOR would be cooler than what we're stuck with as canon. On the bright side, I just inspired myself to work on my next outfit designer project...

Yeah, but they're also a highly spiritual monastic order which the robes help visually identify.

I do both by always wearing the armored robes. Valiant jedi, wartime ambassador, reinforced phobium chestguard, eradicator, etc. If your char is a twilek you don't have to fight the hood being up/down but the valiant jedi doesn't have a hood.

I loved it when they suggested that Jedi might just wear something appropriate for whatever planet they're on. Ben Kenobi wore robes because he was a desert hermit. Maybe some Jedi dressed like Han did, or like Luke in Empire.

The idea of lightsaber-resistant armor wasn't really a thing in the movies either, so armor for jedis didn't make much practical sense.

Sith got the best fashion designers so the Jedi were left with bargain bin cast-offs for their costumes.

I burned my 208 PvP gear because I assumed that 228 would be better than 208 because of, you know, basic math. What you described is how I thought it would work - Bolster brings you up to like ~220-224 gear level to make sure everyone can at least contribute while they collect "proper" gear. That is beyond stupid.

I always liked Kyle Katarn ( ) kinda smuggler/rogue with lightsaber look, which is why I love outfitting my Guardian with dusters and such. On the other hand, Jedi wearing robes was a thing way before the prequels if my memory is not failing me and wearing mean looking armor was the Sith thing. Once upon a time, Redletter media pointed out that the "magic" of Yoda (the legendary jedi master and warrior) was him being a green wrinkly midget and force is being something beyond physical. For me, Jedi will always be hermits with robes but I kinda get used to the Old Republic armored Jedi concept. Now, if you excuse me I will play Kotor 2 while patching SW:TOR and playing Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes in between.

Galewolf posted:I always liked Kyle Katarn ( I have some of my force users in the smuggleresque look just because I get tired of the various robes on them look. Part of why I'm on the hunt to get some of the "older" looks like the Darth Andeddu/Jori Daragon armors is to piece something that looks pre-Jedi era. But then I've also thrown Jedi looking robes on some of my companions to mix things up. Case in point, Dr. Lokin's in the Exiled Master robes so it's like he's eccentric grandpa running around in a bathrobe with my Agent. But as far as likely looks for the force users, I can see the bathrobe + armor look being something in vogue during war time and something more casual during peacetime. Mostly I see the problem being what I've said about Star Wars for ages is that nerds really don't handle franchise changes well and they'd pitch a fit if Jedi weren't in robes because the first Jedi we see in the franchise is in robes claiming that "This isn't Star Wars". Christ, I remember for decades in the various rpgs and fanwritings coming up with elaborate reasons why Chewbacca only used a bowcaster or his claws such as one needed massive strength to load/fire a bowcaster or some honor thing for not using claws when the actual reason is no one happened to think of someone else using a bowcaster or wookies weren't originally written with claws.

The films potentially could have done with showing the Jedi wearing that middle step between Obi-Wan's business casual samurai robe and Vader's 'more machine than man' full-helmet battlearmour, but the story went a different direction, with Jedi being bad at their jobs/not suited for military command, and Republic is Empire half-stormtrooper armour (cartoons only).

Until it was said otherwise, I thought that the Sith Empire eventually merged with the Old Republic to eventually become the Galactic Republic since the Imperial accent eventually becomes the Coruscanti accent along with the armor looks.

Group finder for Operations doesn't really work in this game, especially with the announcements made today. Raiding is not something people are actively doing right now because the time invested does not make it worth it since there are no gear drops and the CXP isn't worth it when you can PvP or run a bunch of uprisings instead. We might be able to find 1-2 random people to join, but really the only way we'll get a full group is if we get mostly goons. Next week when gear drops raiding will pick up again.

So with the upcoming changes, if you only want to PvP, you'll need to win 115 Warzone Matches to get a full set of Tier 1 set gear (6 pieces), or even if you're terrible and lose every warzone you'll only need to lose 192 matches to get a full set! That's actually not TOO terrible. Obviously a bit grindy to get it ALL via PvP, but it should make the queues pop pretty quick. Just to get that one set piece you're missing is only winning 13-20 warzones (or losing 25-34). That's one Tier 1 piece per week just doing the daily, really. Of course the whole "You need a Tier 1 piece to trade for a Tier 2 piece" is going to suck if you have multiple characters that you are getting pieces on - for example, I did command levels 1-10 because they were fairly quick on all of my Operatives and Scoundrel, and netted a couple of set pieces out of the 4 of them. However, in order to get the Tier 2 piece, I'll have to trade it in on the character that has the shell (never destroy your shells), it seems. Dulfy's guide Better than RNG, that's for sure. I don't see myself getting past Tier 1 though, that's a bit of a haul.
