WarLocke posted:I might have to stop doing my daily FP/WZ/space stuff. I got to Nar Shaddaa at level 28 and had the Bonus Series available before doing any of the actual planet story quests! You might actually want to give this a try and see how you like it. I did this with a character, where I did just warzones until I outleveled a planet, and was able to focus entirely on just the story missions for that planet. It was a way better experience in my opinion.

WarLocke posted:Well, I haven't played this game at all in over a year, this is my first Imperial character (that got past the starting planet) ever, and I've never played the Sith Warrior story; I was kind of planning on taking it relatively slowly and experiencing everything on the way to 55, but doing the dailies seems to consistently overlevel me for everything else. For what it's worth, i've done both factions and it's all virtually the same.

Correct, no auto-fire. They are probably long time veterans to the game that heard this argument non-stop during the early days. Your companion will act as your auto-fire basically.

Can you buy expansion with in-game currency? I've been considering coming back to see that content. I think I have around $15 worth of in-game currency though and never did spend it.

It's best to still treat Old Republic as a game that requires a subscription. The only difference now is that it includes an extended demo and it's free to create an account.

vyst posted:I just picked up the game again reactivating my level 40 sorc. The one thing that surprises me is how well the engine works on not-poo poo hardware after years of playing World of Warcraft and banging my head against the wall at how the upgrades don't do dick for fps. It use to be terrible on even high end hardware. SWTOR at launch was awful for most people. Terrible frame rate, and very long load times.

Oops, I am really stupid; I didn't realize the equipment from the Cash Shop does not work like typical cosmetic items in other MMO's. You can't put those items over what you have currently equipped, you need to first buy item modifications for everything to make any of it viable.

Bad warzones are pretty common, but tonight has been brutal; back to back loses over and over again, but what is really weird is how badly the loses are, and how quick they are. Every time, losing to many of the same players and within a couple minutes. I had a few matches where almost no one on my team even got any medals because the matches ended that quickly, and were that bad.

Win a warzone with 10 medals, get only 12,000 experience at level 50. gently caress this game sometimes. :/ And this is with Major Experience Boost, 10% guild exp boost, and 12% Warzone exp boost from Legacies.

WarLocke posted:I think someone said earlier in the thread that warzone experience is directly tied to how long the warzone lasted. Get 6 goals in Huttball in 2 minutes, get lovely experience; draw the match out until it ends at 12 minutes, get lots more experience. Okay that did happen, we steamrolled a team in about that amount of time. The way EXP works in warzones has always been awful.

WarLocke posted:I think you have to be Valor rank 40 or something, but then you just buy them like you were coverting WZ comms to planet ones. Okay that explains it. This character i'm leveling again, I got to 50 back at launch, when Valor rank didn't level up with you. But I only have like 3 more ranks to go, which isn't too many Warzones.

Are there any plans to add more Warzones to SWTOR? Also that is a crappy change to Alderaan WZ, I hope Bioware reconsiders that.

My imperial agent is level 15 and I feel like I screwed something up. Aren't you suppose to get your advance class at level 10? I'm at the point now where the story has taken me to a choice of two planets. Balmorra, and Nar Shadda. I remember getting my advance class way before then.

I don't know how I'd even survive long enough to quest and level up after the first act. I would just level up in Warzones only where performance really doesn't matter. You're just doing it entirely to troll people. I'm going to be away from SWTOR for a couple weeks and it makes me sad. At least I got my Sith Inq to 55 and got my normal Warzone PvP gear set which is all I care about for that character. Now I want to get my Commando to 55, who is just 37 right now.

Other then crafting, what are some of the other money sinks in this game if you are a subscriber? it doesn't really seem like there are any other then buying your skills which can get expensive. I don't really spend my credits on anything else, but I do wish Warzones gave more. [edit] I guess legacies are the other big money sink but mostly optional.

I do wish the planets were smaller. I know this is going to sound strange but SWTOR actually needed less content on each planet. They were too big with a lot of pointless side quests. You're suppose to be a hero, instead you are just a errand boy/girl for most of your leveling. This is a problem with MMORPGs in general though not just SWTOR.

The tooltip for medals doesn't imply that it gives you XP. Getting one medal is a requirement to get XP period but it doesn't add any sort of bonus to how much you get. I've lost matches where I ended up getting way more exp then I did winning, with less medals too, so the whole thing is confusing to me. I try to just roll with it and not think about it too much. The whole reward system for warzones is weird.

Psyker posted:They need to run with this double XP thing. Make it a legacy unlockable with a steep requirement, or, of course, purchasable for like 1500CC as a global unlock. Eh, I don't like this idea because it's getting way too much into Pay to Win territory. The cash shop is already over that line as is. Just do a straight up exp increase is what the game badly needs. Leveling is too slow for a game that encourages making alts.
