I picked it up, but it doesn't seem to give you access to the hutt cartel expansion, which is kind of lame.

Also, she's a psychopathic ewok.

With their talk of standardizing abilities I wonder what some of the companions more unique abilities though. Like Lokin turning into a rakhghoul though that ability is kind of useless IMO.

I wonder the same thing. Realistically that's just his version of Talos blaster stance.

All the other healers imperial side have a blaster stance, I think that's the one one who can't heal while in it though. Which is why I always found it lousy.

I'm guessing part of the standardization is, besides making every companion viable for all roles quickly, is weren't they saying new companions will drop from crates now? Like generic ones without a story.

Also despite alt tabbing frequently to refer to sources and hitting escape to do over conversations repeatedly at the end of my Sith Warrior chapter 1, I think I still biffed on turning Jaesa to the dark side.

Yeah I did it the right way and then I read something that said actually, it's the conversation after, so I did it the wrong way. Then I talked to her on the ship and she was like, "Cool, cant wait until we take down the Sith empire from within!" And I was like oh nooooo

Non-spoilers question: is space PVE worth doing at all? Like, I mean the heroics at the end. Is their payout kind of worth it at all for the cost of upgrading your ship, or is there GSF stuff you can buy with space comms?

For myself I've found some specs better than others when it comes to ability fatigue. Like, concealment operative was very easy to jump into and you're probably using less than ten abilities any battle, while assassin tank was just not real fun for me to play because there's so many things that need to be on cooldown.

Honestly, all the storylines are alright, everyone is going to have their own tastes. Like, some goon the other page thought the sith inquisitor was the best thing ever, and that's been my least favorite play through so far.

Though the only objective truth is the agent storyline is the best.

I'm pretty sure I've read on dulfy that after the patch everyone gets 6x class quests and 6x main planet quests. This is only a minor step back as planet story quests are usually (usually) right near by where youre doing the class quests. Also with level scaling of all mission rewards you actually have a reason to stop and smell the roses helping every imperial officer you waltz by because you'll never outlevel quest rewards anymore.

There's one that shows up in the BH storyline that wasn't so bad, either, but I can't remember his name. I feel like all of the Imperial stories have at least one chill Sith except for Agent, where they're all over the top fucktarded and ridiculous, mostly to highlight and emphasize the fact that the Sith are running the Empire into the ground.

That sith archaeologist was kind of alright on tatooine. Not a "good" guy but not insane.

Hrmm, so if I'm understanding this correctly, the 12x ends on the 20th, and people who have been subscribed for the last 2 months are able to start the latest expansion with everyone else starting on the 27th. Will the leveling changes for the pre-existing content be updated on the 20th then?

Yes, all the general gameplay changes and leveling will be changed the same day early access starts.

I thought skill determined the amount you got, not the type of reward. Skill 1 on Yavin gets one whatever the hell is the highest level thing for Bio from a node while a 500 skill gets ten. Skill 500 goes to Korriban and gets 20 green goo while the skill 100 gets 3-4 and the skill 1 gets 1. Something like that.

As I remember it is you can farm whatever mat is equivalent to your skill anywhere. The higher your skill the more you'll get from a node within its "tier" I think, but all crafting recipes for leveling are now free and unlocked. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Edit: rereading that it sounds like low level mats will be rarer to see stockpiled to come by but if everyone is expected to hit level 50ish in a couple days I guess that doesn't mean much.

I'm not going to enter in Hulk Smash!'s competition because I have most of the stuff I need unlocked and would like someone else to get stuff.

I think playing Guild Wars 2 has ruined me because these days all I care about in MMOs is cosmetics. TOR has some real interesting cosmetic options and trying to get different pieces (dye channels :argh:) to work together can be annoying so I'm pretty happy with what I've come up with.

Imperial Characters

Sniper - My original character that I'll almost certainly take through KotFE first. Was trying to channel the sort of look the Eclipse engineers had going in Mass Effect 2:



If thats the pilot ace chest piece that I think it is, what legs/boots are those? I originally started out with the same idea for my operative but stuff does not unify well with that chest piece and usually goes with the off color, not the main color of the chest.

No, you have to start the patcher sometime after 5:30pm EDT.

At the moment? Nothing. You could buy a set of the 186 gear from the basic gear vendors once you hit 60, but you get a nearly full set of better gear (190s) for doing the Ziost story quests. And chances are the expansion will give even better gear as story rewards.

Your best bet would probably be to hold onto them and spend them on whatever becomes available at level 65.

Is the 186 gear just mods or the expensive sets? If former I may just pick up that up depending how quickly I hit 60. Honestly with comps changes I just don't see a lot to spend comms on now.

It sounds like you get synced to just above the level of the planet. So he would be level 1 and I would be like level 11 or 12.

It shouldn't take more than an hour or two to hit ten at least, even with 6x/6x but that's just a guess.

Companions gaining influence regardless of whether they like your response is such a great change, god. Being able to just play your character straight instead of gaming up affection points is good change.
