This was interesting, at least when he's contemplating the possible dangers of popular storytelling all being templated to the Hero's Journey. Although I find it kind of hilarious how much it all unravels by the end. He also Godwins TO THE EXTREME, and while it's a fun question to think about, it's a flawed comparison, since the Emperor is the Hitler equivalent in Star Wars, not Vader. He's just Palpatine's top general. A more accurate question would be "would you forgive Rommel if he conspired against Hitler?" Also my question is more fun, because it's not even hypothetical!

Yeah, this is one of the more nonsensical things I've ever read, and they made us read Tristram Shandy in high school. Dude has about half of a good point and smears it across about ten thousand :words: .

Then again, I usually run full cackly dark side Inquisitor, so maybe I'm the Nazis?

Taking a moment from the bittervet hour if we can, can anyone clarify if companion gear matters, or if it's purely influence/presence that determines their stats?

I was pretty sure companion gear is just cosmetic, but I'm having trouble chasing down any sources.

Apparently if you're subbed on February 1 you get a free "HK-inspired" jetpack. This is good news for many, so it will naturally infuriate current jetpack-havers.

Still. Jetpack!

It's because the stats on adaptive armor are based entirely on the mods that you apply to them. "New" pieces of adaptive armor have no mods, and therefore no stats.

It's the final operation so it's supposed to be a bit more difficult. In reality, story mode is still easy with the exception of Underlurker (3rd boss) which still has a heavy DPS and Healing check. That combined with the fact that the loot is mediocre makes it a tough one to PUG.

So when are we doing it, then?

How do I get legacy cargo hold? I am supposed to get one for free with the stronghold intro quest which asks me to buy a stronghold but I bought it before I got that quest...

If you take the quest and then visit your stronghold, it should still count. Then you get the rest in the mail.

Question for my fellow Space Barbie enthusiasts. I was thinking it could be fun to put my Warrior in a yellow track suit à la Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill, but I'm having trouble finding a good chestpiece for that. There's plenty of pants with a vertical stripe, and the rest is also pretty easy, but I've literally got no ideas for the chest other than "browse all of TOR fashion".

Mind, I might end up with that anyway since I have some downtime coming, but maybe one of you goons could save me a few mind numbing hours? :shobon:

"Useless due to overpoweredness"? That makes no sense...

I was trying to unpack that one too - maybe they're useless because if you bring such an overpowered companion to the fight, then there's nothing left to do so "why even"? Thus, if bringing along a companion breaks things, and crafting is messed up for you too, then companions would be sans use. However,

Nonentity has graciously offered to donate a warbot and an unstable dual saber from the new packs for a prize giveaway.

Unless I come up with something different over the weekend, I'm leaning towards a straight lottery, with the entry cost being one flagship encryption. I'll hash out the details later, but maybe this will give people more of an incentive to hit their conquest goal this week.

It actually plays pretty well with all of the characters I've tried so far, because he's not saying you're special because of the Force; you're special because you have Protagonism flowing through your veins.
