I look forward to 'cheap' hypercrate items. Hopefully anyway. Also I believe I am 3 datacrons away (One on Balmora, Quesh, and the Fleet) from getting all of them in the game.

Cythereal posted:Same. I'm an RPG goon so I'm strongly considering playing KOTFE first with a couple of my characters I don't really care about to see how different plot choices unfold before playing one of the characters I'm somewhat invested in. Heh that's interesting to me, as I'm kinda the opposite. My first character will pretty much end up being the 'canon' one I go with, mistakes and all. I don't entirely knowing what I will pick for optimum outcome or whatever. And while I don't outright avoid spoilers, I like going with my first reaction to stuff so to speak My main mistake is usually not poking companions enough in BW games, not sure if that will trip me up in FE.

Medullah posted:They're not as bad as they were before 3.0 at threat management. The biggest problem before was that Crushing Blow would only hit multiple targets if you used it on a mob that you had first hit with sundering strike, so if your DPS burned the mob you sundered you were down your biggest AOE threat generator until sundering strike was back off cool down. Now it works similar, it only spreads after you hit a mob with Aegis Assault but it's reliant on the buff Aegis gives you instead. Add that to smash and saber reflect generating massive threat you're in pretty good shape. They just lack a strong AOE opener like Wither or Firestorm. But Juggs are way more fun than Powertech so it's worth it. If only the utility that reset Force Leap/Saber Throw every time combat ended reset Saber Reflect.

Rincewind posted:I think I'll level my agent, since I really want to see the agent storyline but don't feel like sitting through all of the shared imperial quests again. I also want to eventually get my smuggler to 60, but since I haven't seen any Republic content past level 25 or so I'd be okay with not zipping past it all. Smuggler is the least awful Republic story imo. Your character is such a smug little prick who you want to punch which is exactly how I feel a smuggler should be.

Baron von der Loon posted:I read that Shadow of Revan becomes free on October 27th. That means that I likely won't be able to play when KOTF is available for subscribers, right? Well the way FE works is that if you subbed from I think Aug 10 to now you'll get it a week early, on the 20th. If you haven't been subbed that whole time, you get it on the 27th when it officially launches. So you will get FE and SoR at the same time, so like you said better to say your $20. Level synching works two ways. It scales you down on lower level planets, and it scales you up for Flashpoints. FE starts at 60 so you'll still have to do RotHC and SoR to get there. And FE seems to be all single player, so you have that right.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Agent is the best Imperial storyline because it's written with the pragmatic get-poo poo-done mindset as a major option. With the Warrior and Consular I've found if you don't go to the cartoonish evil side it's easy to be shoehorned into your character saying poo poo like "I'm secretly light side but need to fool the Sith to bring them down from within" You aren't entirely dedicated to bringing the Sith down from within, but you are pretty much cast as a good person, rather than just pragmatic or what have you. It does work best if you view your motivation as more change the Empire and make it less lovely, I certainly don't see the LS war as a double agent or someone who wants to be a Jedi. I guess I like that aspect of a person born in a darker place and working to make it better for themselves and other people, rather than just trying to defect to some place better. Think of it as being a noble who actually buys into the idea of the nobility, the whole "The highest distinction is service to others."

DrunkenGarbageCan posted:Eh calling Marr Light Side is a bit of a misnomer...he's just more pragmatic lawful evil than the cackling "gently caress you got mine" neutral evil Sith like the DS Inquis or Palpatine. He is definitely bloodthirsty and loves war, specifically murdering the heck out of the Republic and Jedi. The way I see Marr is that he wants power, but he doesn't care how he gets it. If he gets to be in charge by being nice to people, he's all for that. If he has to step over some corpses he doesn't mind that. But the fact that he is willing to be nice to people is a big step up and makes him interesting. Also the whole hatred of the Jedi thing is still kind of justified even for a LS Sith. You have to remember that the Jedi and the Republic nearly wiped them all out in the Hyperspace War, which to the Republic was some minor thing, but to the Sith it was the whole near end of their civilization. It's also why everyone trusted Vitiate for so long, because he lead them to safety. As for Marr's face, my bet is him looking like this

The DS Jedi options are either as Cythereal said cold, logical, and practical (that just happen to kill people) or for the Knight they are more, this is good for the Republic but not morally good. Sadly there are plenty of puppy kicking ones that really conflict with the narrative, and the narrative doesn't change much to reflect your choices, you're just randomly an rear end in a top hat sometimes. The biggest thing was at the end of JK they named you a general and not a Jedi master but I guess that got papered over. The most interesting thing is the JK followup quest on Rishi, where you have to run a standard mmo quest because your masters ghost is a Eimi fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Oct 15, 2015 |

We can still hope that maybe they would dedicate one chapter to your class or something. It really depends. For example Warrior and Knight's main hook is dealing with Vitiate which fed into Ziost and feeds into any stuff that deal with him from now on. So their 'hook' can be dealt with in the main story. I suppose you could expose the Star Cabal or something. And then other stories are more done, like I think Consular and Inquisitor are done as far as narrative force and more story with them would be about the day to day stuff of being one of the most powerful dudes on their respective faction.

And Rincewind now that I am able to log on here are some shots of my stuff. Nothing creative but might give you some ideas. Valiant Jedi with dye  Revered Seer  I think I got this from Corellia but its just standard heavy armor pieces  Thexxan's robe, though it doesn't dye well  And Karnass Murr, probably my favorite overall which I'll use a ton more once the robe doesn't drape off speeders. And its not Jugg or Sithy armor but Commissar!

MikeyLikesIt posted:Hahaha. I just hear DS Jaena is a lot of fun plus ROMANCE I can't really speak to the quality of her romance, but I can say that of any romance, Lana Beniko or Theron Shan are probably the best bets going forward. They play a big role in SoR, and are most likely going to keep playing a big role in FE, given both how recent SoR is and their popularity. No one knows which of the old companions are coming back, with 5 companions for each class, I cannot see them all being story relevant, so some are most likely going to get cut. I mean the cast of what 11 or so in ME2 was insane, I cannot imagine a cast of 40. And there should be new story companions in FE so yeah...if you want a romance that matters and is interesting going forward bet on Lana or Theron. Or some new FE person. Also Vette is a romance, DS Jaesa is...well she's every bad roleplayer who is into BDSM. Also cucking.

Zotix posted:Hey guys, haven't played since launch but thinking of picking this up again with the new expansion. As with most MMOs there are fun classes, there are OP classes, etc. I don't care about story too much. When I played I played a sentinel, the dual light saber weilder for the light side. I got to max level and had some decent fun until I realized illum was broken. We are Empire side. Class balance is pretty good in pve atm, no idea how it will be later on, though Marauaders are no ones favorite. Powertechs and Sorcs are really safe bets. But you can make anything work. Also Medullah the servers are laggy as hell atm, and it seems to be on their end, so I hope it all clears up by the time we try NiM stuff.

Speaking of ruining all your hype, I know I posted earlier about how my launcher has just decided to not work, and someone said the same today. Well it seems I got early access a day early! As my launcher is now totally hosed. It isn't even giving me an error message now, it just says initializing.  Seriously tempted to just reinstall. Also the influence sounds good. It isn't as good as Friend/Rival from DA2 was, but hey better than them just being a negative nancy all the time.

If they expand ships they better add wall hooks. Specifically a place I can store my Shepard like collection of model ships.

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. Having just done a ton of affection grinding, I'm pretty sure she has the most quests of any A3 comp by a mile too.

Really cool trailer, but as Mr Plinkett says, we can't be taken in by well shot, well edited trailers, no matter how cool they are. The Phantom Menace and Dead Island had amazing trailers too.
