Yeah oh well. Hopefully if nothing else I'll be able to get one cheap on the GTN due to supply increasing. If you see one up for less than 8 million and want to be nice and grab it for me I'd appreciate it.

Bombogenesis posted:Giving Trooper instances that were more like actual military operations would have helped. Have you and a dozen friendly NPCs engage Imperial outposts or patrols or something. Let act 2 be super soldier oorah and act 3 either more of the same or like an actual commander role. Yeah, the bit at the end of act 3 where you're issuing orders was cool (if pointless in actuality). More stuff like that would've been great.

Almost being done with Chapter 1 of LS Warrior though and its just hilarious how much of a troll LS sith is. Just mouth off to Baras every mission and then go behind his back to resolve this issues in the opposite way he intended. Then after beating a Jedi they're like "do your worst sith, I don't fear death!!" and being like, "actually no, I'm just going to leave now. Maybe it is you Jedi who should contemplate the consequences of your actions hmm?" and then leave them alone, confused, surrounded by all their dead subordinates they sicced on you.

Asimo posted:I loved it, even if I seem to be in the minority. But it's one of those stories with a theme that's really helped by the 12x XP bonus, since there's a strong element of "independent contractor working within the empire and just barely tolerating its insanity" that's really undercut by having to toady up to the authorities for most of the run if you had to do sidequests. Bounty hunter story isn't great, but it's one of the most fun characters, just for all the opportunities to tell crazy with to shut up and pay you, you don't care about politics. Also for the opportunities to smack nobles around on alderaan. And yeah, that's another thing about trooper. You're part of this great big army but you talk to general garza and like, that's it. Disappointing.

It's not bad as long as your gear is augmented and people know their classes well. It's on Rishi, underneath the docks. Your best bet is to do it on a group finder day (tomorrow this week, Tuesday next week, etc)

maev posted:I can't for the life of me find 'The Ravagers' op, apparently its on Rishi? Also how tough is it in Ziost gear on story mode with 8? When you're heading up the main street in Rishi City, about halfway between the spaceport and cantina there's a stair-ladder down to your left with the operation entrance visible at the end of it. There's also an interactive crate where you can pick up the initial breadcrumb quest and get a jungle sleen mount for finishing it. Perfectly doable in 190 (or really even 186) if you have any ops experience, though if you're dps I'd recommend augmenting a few pieces to get to 100% accuracy since the Ziost gear doesn't quite hit the mark. If you do it when it's on the group finder rotation (tomorrow?) you'll also get a bolster effect to make it easier. Most people do Bulo (2nd boss) and Master/Blaster (4th) slightly differently from the dulfy.net guide so just ask the group for instructions.

Affection should still carry over and be a factor in companion combat ability, and the +10 legacy-wide presence bonus for finishing conversation trees will still be there, the change is only to achievement points which is some meaningless number.

This is mostly conjecture since I've been avoiding spoilers but it's possible that affection/influence in KotFE will not be capped at 10k.

Crafting changes in 4.0 Not only are new Biochem items non reusable, but they're retroactively getting rid of the old reusable ones. That I have a HUGE issue with. Edit - on the positive side, any of your augment kits will be changed to the new highest tier automatically, so stock up on those.

Yeah, I'm fine with everything except the old reusable nerfs. Not being able to use my reusable level 52 power adrenal won't motivate me to craft non reusable ones, it will just make me not use one period.

This was my read of that, too. Hooooopefully you'll get to keep your already-grinded affection points but I don't know. We'll see! Do we have a sense of how big of an impact affection will have on companion ability? I'm lazy and don't feel like grinding it, so hopefully the game will be perfectly playable with all your companions at zero affection.

They've said companion ability is based on your level, then presence and approval add bonuses on top of the base effectiveness. Going by how presence currently works by adding flat numerical bonuses, it will probably make a big difference at low levels but become largely irrelevant at high levels.
