Hmmm that's interesting, I wonder if HK will be able to change specs or if he'll be limited to DPS still.

Objection: Master, I really must convey my disapproval at being asked to perform such non-lethal tasks.

DLing now to play, but I never purchased the 2 expansions. Just the main game way back. Will I just be able to do the main content, and unable to logically access the new stuff when released due to lacking the previous expansions?

You can access the new stuff (Knights of the Fallen Empire) AND the previous two expansions, if you subscribe - after either the 20th or the 27th, I'm not certain.
If you don't subscribe and don't purchase the past 2 expansions, you will not be able to play any expansion or KOTFE content.

If the 12x xp boost is expiring on the 19th, have they talked about anything specific replacing it? All I saw was a promise of a more "streamlined leveling experience", whatever that means.

Class quests give 6x exp and planetary quests give 6x exp. So same as it is now but you need to do planetary questline as well as class.

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?

It's the only way to get a few of the achievements. But it's totally distinct from GSF.

As there is no way to transfer existing chars between US and EU I'm in a non goon guild with Waldorf (I think there might some others in there too).

We're still open to new members btw - I think progression raiding is going to take a hit after 4.0 though so not sure what will happen to raid events and things.

My internet has been really spotty lately but I'll try to get on for a little bit now. Whisper Bona'dea if you get online soon.

E: Nope, internet not stable enough to stay online for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. Try "Cope", "Quso" and "Chedo" and if you get any of them tell them Bona'dea sent you. Otherwise I think you can do a search by guild name? It's "The Warlords"

Talking bout achivs: I noticed that my two launch chars don't have their achievements for finishing the story content and hitting lvl 50 because I maxed them before achievements were introduced.

At least one of these is properly bugged and won't unlock at all. Agent, I think. If you send a support ticket they'll give you the achievements.

Well you can hardly blame the players for that when Bioware do the exact same thing with their characters. Ever notice how Deron Cadoruso ("We fight for Revan!" _{Deron, so intense!}) is an anagram of Canderous Ordo? :v:

Oh, I know. I've done my every-class-to-fifty work to get the special recognition once the expansion comes out.

There's just so much that I have no clue about, since there have been two expansions since I last played. What I really want is a way to turn off the "quest available here" display by quest types. Don't show me the flashpoint/operation quest givers right now; I'm trying to figure out if there's a story quest I've overlooked.

And yesterday I found something called a "Macrobinocular" quest?

Macrobinocular and Seeker Droid are part of the RotHC expansion. They're side-stories that are worth doing at some point, but they don't reveal anything major to be honest.

I've always wanted this mount for my Inquisitor but never got around to doing any raids. How hard will it be to get after the expansion?

You'll need to join a guild that does progression raiding and you'll need to be able to farm NiM Dread Fortress. It's easy-ish with an experienced and well geared group now. Playing it at level? Gonna be really, really hard to get it on farm again.

E: Unless they unbalance the gear somehow, it's hard to say what the numbers themselves will be like :shobon:

The Underworld set armor shells are craftable but very rare to find on the GTN depending on server: The Harbinger seems to have more of them than Jedi Convenant but the chestpieces are running for 1mil+. At the moment they also drop as non-set Verpine pieces from the story mode Oricon operations, and might be introduced as legacy sets after the expansion. There are also animated Kell Dragon set versions that currently drop from nightmare mode Asation and Darvannis. The Jedi Knight set especially looks quite good (it's what the knight in the KotFE gameplay trailers is wearing).

Jedi Knight Kell Dragon belt best belt in the game. Flashy Republic logo!

So if my patch download is literally not moving at all, that's because the servers are down or whatever, right? I don't need to cancel and start over? I'm always paranoid about canceling anything SWTOR-related in the middle of a download for fear that I'll have to flatten and reinstall the game or something.

Download servers and game servers aren't the same thing. Download servers are working at the moment - but yeah I'd say just leave it for now!

Hahahahaha hell yeah. I did notice in that area there was something like 20+ hostile NPCs but there were about 20 players as well so I just figured the area was some kind of... massive brawl? I guess they spawn when you click the item and don't despawn if they evade or something.

PS: gently caress Bioware for making another item that only one player can click and it's necessary for the story. Dozens of people crowding round one clickable item furiously mashing the right click.

PPS: Chapter X sucks

So I'm not eligible for any of those things apparently, because while the thing says I'm eligible for the daily reward, there is no actual reward showing. This is on all my characters.

Another thing: it used to be that if my companion popped out (when exiting a mount) he/she would activate my class buff but that is no longer the case.

This is bugged at the moment. You can't get daily rewards from group finder. Group PvE content is basically a no-go area until 4.3 in a few months.

There's a bug right now where bosses don't turn around graphically so if you don't know the raid you risk standing in the wrong spot.

According to my guild this is not the only problem. Apparently the turning also affects cones and directional attacks? There was some reason we can't progress on Revan or MasterBlaster anyway.

Raids are broken not until the next major patch, but the one after it, afaik

Medullah posted:

Yeah from what I've read it affects visual cues and the client thinks the attack is going in a different direction than it is. So for Blaster, if your tank has him turned around so the giant cone knock back only affects him, it still looks like Blaster is facing the raid and the cone faces them even though the attack is going the other direction. Other fun ones are the Reaches in DF facing away from one another and Brontes laser being invisible. Again, all stuff that sucks but if it's your 900th time running that op it's pretty much just annoying.

I imagine it makes Hard Mode raiding much tougher, but SM it's more of a nuisance. But considering the Hard Mode raiders at this point are mostly comprised of "have everything on farm" groups and not people trying to progress, they don't see it as a huge issue.

I don't know of any HM raid teams on my server who have Revan and Cora on farm. In fact I think only one or two guilds have even killed Revan at all. We'd gotten to last platform but now we can't even kill Underlurker because the position markers are all hosed.

Are playing the Flashpoint missions essential for understanding the story? And are there certain Flashpoint missions that are more essential for story than others?

Also, what are the best Flashpoint missions?

Revan questline (you pick up a quest chain for these on the fleet)

Boarding Party/Taral V
The Foundry/Maelstrom Prison

Malgus questline (you pick these up as part of the Ilum story)

Battle of Ilum + False Emperor

All the other flashpoints after False Emperor (excepting Kaon/Lost Island) will be part of the story if you play through it.

This bit can't be stressed enough. If your Aric is naked, sorry chums, but reset that bitch. If you finish the chapter without resetting, you won't get your companion.
