You select a planet/daily area and do x number of missions then get a bonus when complete. On the pub side for Nar Shaddaa the bonus part auto completes when you accept without doing the missions. You can do this once a day. It was supposedly to be fixed in 5.1 and the pre-release 5.2 patch notes make no mention of it.

I tried it yesterday and all but three of my characters were given the dailies instead of auto-complete, and I *believe* those are the 3 I've done the NS heroics on since 5.0 dropped for conquest.

While we have it in guns to an extent, I feel we also could use a vibroblade that has a big spinning turbine thing embedded in the blade for no real reason.

No, just level 70 and republic. I think you have to do them manually once first for them to auto complete. And you don't get the rewards for the Heroics themselves, just the command XP for doing the planet.

No. Beginning in 4.0 (2015) all Operations are scaled to 70. So you MIGHT be able to underman EV/KP story mode, but I wouldn't try it with less than 6-7 unless you're extremely well geared

I've only been playing this game for a 3 months now, but I just learned something that people who are completely new to this game could find helpful. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Crafting: The patch notes in the OP talk about changes, etc.... but apparently, a while back they changed crafting so that crafting bonuses associated with companions no longer matter. Their skill at gathering/crafting is entirely dependent on how much they like you and nothing else. So if you see a bunch of guides saying companion X has a +5% critical success chance in goat-weaving, ignore it. Just send whoever likes you the most. This simplifies things a lot. You can just create a character with the crafting skill you want and the 2 associated gathering skills required to make things with it. Or you can be an rear end in a top hat like me and spend a few hours planning out alts and picking weird combinations of class skills that make no sense 100 hours in. Its a free country.

Yeah, they nuked all character uniqueness a while back so no crafting bonuses, no more special skills like HKs execute etc. The only thing that still matters to them is their specific gift likes and dislikes for getting rep up.

And what a relief that was. No more reason to dig out Quinn or Skurge at all. Hurrah! If only they'd do a patch modifying story mode, so you don't even have to take them on, or can kill them. Yeah, that'll happen

Hello new friends, my meatspace bros are dragging me back into this game and I remember precisely none of it. I'm leaning towards imperial agent as my do-over class since they're the least boring looking empire option, so I'm glad to see people like their story. I have two dumb questions I didn't see answered in the OP: are advanced classes a permanent choice, or do you have access to both? And if you have access to both, do any base classes offer both support roles as advanced options? Like a healer/tank fusion, rather than a dps off spec. I don't love mmo dps, and in more traditional trinity games I usually roll the thing like Paladin that lets you play all three roles... but from what I'm seeing everything seems to be either/or.

Heal and tank classes have a DPS spec, but you can't do both at once.

Right, that much is obvious. I'm asking if you can respec between heal/tank and dps as needed, and if any classes have both heal and tank. But I'm guessing that's a yes and a no respectively, based on the way you phrased that

But there are no classes that offer a heal AND tank discipline. Basically, your discipline options are - Marauder & Sniper - 3 DPS trees only Juggernaut, Powertech, and Assassin - 2 DPS or Tank Sorcerer, Operative and Mercenary - 2 DPS or Heals

How come when I use laceration the collateral strike stun also hits me now? Is this a new bug because I feel like I probably shouldn't be hitting myself.

Collateral Strike doesn't have a stun component, it's just additional damage. There's no bugs associated with it that I know of unless it was introduced today. Are you sure you didn't just get stunned by something else?

Iokath is live, pretty fun so far with a few story missions leading in to the dailies. I managed to max out my weekly Imp rep before I'd finished my second daily mission though as so many trash mobs have been dropping Imp rep tokens (even prior to me picking to support the Empire).

Are class story spoilers still a thing? Either way, my Inquisitor just got to Hoth and Talos is a gigantic dweeb but I was thrilled when he joined me. Wish I could put a pith helmet on him.

It looks like it's not actually stunning me but it does a stun animation and it makes it feel weird. It only happens when the stun actually works on the mob. It never happens on the silver/gold mobs since they aren't affected and it doesn't work when the mob is already stunned. I guess new bug then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf4Z_jUPfZM

Had completely forgotten about that, usually my Lacerate/Collateral Strike one shots weak mobs. I just ran through CZ-198 and had no issues. I wonder if the water you're standing in shocks you or something?

So I think the new daily/mission on Iokath where you play the Monolith is my favorite right now. People don't notice they have an ability called "steal power core", I just stood by the clicky and people brought me power cores one at a time. Laughing so hard.

So I've finally started playing around with crafting. I don't have much experience with MMOs, but it seems terrible. Its like a simulation of some kind of micromanaging boss. If they're keen on keeping the system, why not have a button that assigns a companion to gather material x (or craft Y) until you say stop or run out of money/materials? I am seriously considering using a bot.

Its like a simulation of some kind of micromanaging boss. There needs to be a level of monotony and micromanagement for crafting so that there is some incentive for crafting. If it were as simple as a 1 click process, everyone would do it and there would be no reason to sell items from crafting. If it makes you feel any better, crafting in SWTOR is incredibly basic and simple chunk compared to a lot of other MMORPGs. It's even 100% easier than it was at launch, where you had to waste a bunch of mats trying to learn advanced schematics.

I was doing HM Ops last night where there is no Bolster and it was mostly a feeling of "I've done this a thousand times and something is different." Had a KP HM group nearly implode because we hit the enrage on Karagga twice. As a healer already halfway to full 248's I was having to do real work during Master FP's as well.

I'd actually be 100% fine with them making HM EV/KP difficult again. Otherwise it's going to be 4.0 all over again, chain running them to gear up since they're simple and no one likes a challenge

I hope it's just broken bolster, and that it will be fixed, because this game really needs to decide if it's a face roll single player game or a difficult group game. Trying to do both (on story difficulty at least, where you're encouraged to do it with randos) is frustrating as heck.

I suppose you're right. But off the top of my head, I imagine it would be more fun if you only got mats from harvesting in the world. Yes, this could obviously lead to scarcity/farming, but it would give an incentive to explore the map (at least until guides are made) and use parts you never utilize as you beeline from quest to quest. As an example, I would go through the hell that was the Makeb holocron jump puzzle again and often if it meant a crate of mats or a cave full of crystals you can harvest in game at the end. It would feel like I was actually involved in the process rather than just having a bunch of people interrupt me while I do more fun and important stuff. I mean after KotFE, I have 600 companions just lazing around my base. You know I'm trying to work on synthweaving, take some initiative and grab some stuff on your own!

Scav is crazy stupid easy to raise. It's like "Do any random instance, gather from the roughly 8 million elite robots any given instance will have, you just gained a hundred points in scav". It's so easy I feel like you should pick scav and then instantly get it at max level. Why pretend that it isn't happening?
