I'm just excited to have some new adventures for my gunslinger, the legendary outlaw Magnitude. Alts are fun and all but there's nothing that quite matches having new story content to do with your main.

wtftastic posted:Thanks captain genius! In case its never happened to you, its really easy to accidentally mouse over them in the course of reading the thread. If you don't want to even risk accidentally mousing over a spoiler, either use page up/page down/arrow keys to navigate threads about products that have material currently in development or don't read them at all. I don't see "NO SPOILERS THREAD" in the title name, do you?

A lot of the stories sag in Act 2, but get better when the final adversary you face off with at the end of Act 3 shows up. The Trooper's enemy, though, doesn't really measure up. Between that and the schizophrenic tone of the story, I didn't care for it much. Still better than BH, though, because I wasn't left wondering why I kept doing jobs for these idiots.

Medullah posted:Right, they'll go live on 10/27. I jumped the gun on the OP a bit so I could refine it through the month. I think 4.0 changes like companion equipment and mastery are going in with 4.0 on 10/20, when early access players get in. It would be real, real weird otherwise.

I used the original lightsaber up until 50 but if there's one you like the looks of, you can replace it. There's nothing inherently special about that lightsaber compared to other oranges. But you SHOULD find a set of cheap orange gear to wear so you can do this next part: Always take comms when you're levelling. One modification piece is two comms, so one reward of 12 comms allows you to completely refit three pieces of gear, therefore it's much better than taking one piece of gear. And if you don't like the way your adaptive getup looks, you get one appearance set for free, so that's an easy fix.

Ainsley McTree posted:I googled "swtor eyepatch" and that was one of the pieces that came up, but i couldn't find it on the GTN. Not sure if it's because it's rare or if it's because of what the posters above mentioned; either way I'm out of luck, guess I'll play some slots on the guild ship and figure that out. Unfortunately, it's a world drop. You could just buy a whole bunch of boxes from the Hoth comm vendor maybe?

Tuskin38 posted:Reminder, to be qualified for Early Access you need to have been subscribed SINCE August 10th. It's actually a little more specific than that. quote:To qualify for the Early Access Bonus, you must have qualified for each of the four rewards by being a subscriber on each of the 4 listed reward dates. Once you qualify you may enter and play Knights of the Fallen Empire on October 20, 2015, seven (7) days prior to live launch on October 27, 2015. So you just have to be subbed on August 10, August 31, Sept 30 and Oct 19. If you missed a day or two in there because you have a non-recurring sub set up or you changed credit cards, but you're still getting all the rewards, you're good.

pentyne posted:My bad, I meant gear and everything related given that its switching to "Mastery" and eliminating all other stats. I'm still not clear on how KotFE will work for each story class other then blankly assigning the title of "Outsider" and making all responses the same across all classes/races/genders. They're not eliminating ALL other stats, they're consolidating Cunning/Aim/Strength/Willpower into one stat, because there's no reason for any class to use their non-primary stat. The only other stat that's getting consolidated is surge, into crit. Defiance Industries fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Oct 19, 2015 |

I have a fuckload of lvl 5 gifts I expect to sell for insane prices as everyone tries to level companion affection before they start the KotFE stuff. No, preexisting companion affection converts straight to influence. You're getting several new companions so the gift market should explode.

I think it will probably follow the model we have in Shadow of Revan where there's an "adventure area" where you navigate to get to various areas and also where daily quests are done, but basically everything of consequence happens in an instance of some sort.

Cythereal posted:Nadia's helped a lot, in my opinion, by her showing up long before she joins as a companion. There's a pretty good character arc to her that happens through more than off-screen adventures, and that's more than can be said for most companions - it's all about her personal growth and journey. Risha is the same way, you interact with her for all of Act 1 before she joins you as a companion, and she's definitely a stronger character for it.

thrakkorzog posted:Yes, technically she was the third Captain Marvel. But Carol Danvers was Captain Marvel for almost 30 years, so she's the default Captain Marvel for Marvel comics. Carol has only been Captain Marvel since the DeConnick book launched five or so years ago. She's the default Captain Marvel because she's the one Marvel has decided to make a movie about.

I hope we can recruit Guss in KotFE and in the intervening five years, he has actually become a mean Jedi, and by that I mean a Darth. Darth Guss, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Berke Negri posted:Without getting too spoilerly, how does recruiting other classes companions work out? As in, are they chilling in your ship now or do they go into the -Followers- tab and they're just chilling in space bars across the galaxy? The new hub has a large instanced area for different missions and such. Your companions hang out in different parts of it. When you get your ship back, it will be empty except for Treek and HK, if you have them.

Medullah posted:I did Inquisitor and it makes me a bit sad that they didn't do (Inquisitor and KOTFE story spoilers) any references to him having experience with ghosts in his head. I DID love that they called me Darth Imperious though. I chose light side and released the ghosts are the end of his story, I imagine if I'd done dark side and kept them Valykorian might be a bit crowded in my head I think my biggest "missed opportunity from class quest material" feeling was that when you go to an off-the-grid open port, it's not Port Nowhere, but an entirely new place. I always wanted Port Nowhere to be emphasized more in the Smuggler story.

Nipponophile posted:The absolute best experience I've ever had out of years of MMOs was getting together a regular group to level together in SWTOR. We got together one night a week, hung out on Teamspeak, drank a lot, ran through planetary quests, heroics, flashpoints, whatever looked fun. Most people have never had this experience, so they don't even know how much fun they're missing out on. So here's the thing about that: I don't play video games around a schedule. I do it when I have time. That's why people like solo content, they can do it when they want. I used to do poo poo like that, then I realized how much I hated having to mark out a night of my week to play a video game.

Cythereal posted:The official forums were good for something after all - if you romanced a companion in 1-50, or Theron in SoR (Lana apparently doesn't do this), you get a letter from them in KotFE, and folks in the official forums assembled all of them. Lots of foreshadowing about what's happened to these characters, and honestly? There's some drat good writing, punching harder than Mass Effect 2's versions did. Mako's hit me especially hard. Do they have the angry letters you get if you romance someone new in KotFE too?

Fuzz posted:I don't think it's unreasonable to expect spoilertags for an expansion that isn't even playable yet for the people that didn't subscribe by the deadline, call me crazy. Pretty sure Medullah would agree. It's not a spoiler to say that the Zakuul Empire is not something that has already been revealed as another thing. The Sith Empire (you know, the one that people can play as) is the thing that Revan and the Exile went off to fight and we've all known that since before the game came out. You might as well get mad for someone saying Valkorian isn't Luke Skywalker's dad.

The Knight charged in like a goon and got clapped up. That's why the Smuggler saves the day, he's smart enough to collect allies and not just assume being the Chosen One will pull it off.

Cythereal posted:Force users are chumps. They have magic and enchanted swords, but that doesn't make them walking gods. Chapter 2 even goes into detail about how and why non-Force classes are the Outlander and can carry the same story role - namely, they're among the very best in the galaxy, skilled enough to fight and kill even the greatest Jedi and Sith in a fair fight. All the EU garbage has really pushed the idea that Jedi are unbeatable with their power to time travel or whatever, but even with that the best pilot in the galaxy is Wedge Antilles, just a Regular Dude.

Bruceski posted:Doesn't the Smuggler have a whole discipline based around "kicking Sith in the nuts and stabbing them while they're down"? The thing that's consistent across all Smuggler disciplines is that they come with that Precise Shot feat from KotOR2 that makes blaster shots unreflectable. Whether you're kicking dicks, shooting flechettes at them or just putting blaster shots in their face it works. Thumbtacks posted:I'm guessing the release of KotFE doesn't give subs (or preferred, which is even more unlikely) a free server transfer or something, does it? They're not free but they are like 90 cents each right now.
