Dang, actually assaulting the Jedi homeworld as a single dude? I would have figured this for a flashpoint.

Dolash posted:Oh hey, the droid designer, isn't that the guy who gave Rand'ayn combat tests way back in the day? Neat if they're actually having you kill the staff who the Republic players interacted with. I wonder how many more of the Jedi PCs' acquaintances are on the chopping block? Is it really a chopping block when there's bacta, or whatever it is that doesn't make every new character hardcore mode?

"The newbie zone has changed" is always a neat card to play in an MMO, and seeing it from the other end only makes sense. How many people only played one side in this game, anyhow?

PoptartsNinja posted:This is what I was trying to imply, yeah. It's OK to repeat plot points and set-pieces from time to time, and sometimes it's even unavoidable if you want to tell a good story. But when the plot points in question are major, reusing an empire-spanning conspiracy so 'soon' (chronologically, not in terms of actual production time) so soon after the end of your best story arc is probably a mistake. Makeb does act as a bit of a buffer between Shadows and the Agent's storyline, but Bioware doesn't always do the best job rearranging plot elements to tell new stories with similar scenes. Well, "galactic conspiracy" is one of the few avenues left to pursue at this point, since your PC is influential enough by this point that any given internal faction crisis could be feasibly dealt with just pointing and saying "cut it out".

PoptartsNinja posted:It was pretty much the pattern straight out of early City of Heroes ( 3 mooks = 2 lieutenants / silvers = 1 boss / gold ) which is why it stands out to me since City of Heroes learned reasonably early that the 3/2/1 pyramid isn't all that great. It was really the scaling up that made CoH work, since even if you did instanced missions you'd occasionally encounter groups of -1 level spawning for +1 heroes. Or even -2/+2 in extreme cases. And they stacked the pyramid differently for different enemy groups, too. Some groups had sub-minions, which only counted for half a minion because they were weaker or disadvantaged in some way -- this is the Vahzilok and their hordes of zombies. The Button Men tended to favor hordes of mooks with one or two heavies, the Circle of Thorns would pop out single notable bosses for as little as two heroes. Even though they largely dropped it for CoV and later, the overworld was its own difficulty slider - normal zones spat out groups for 1-3 heroes, hazard zones for 2-6, trial zones 5-8. Or something like that, anyway. It's... getting harder and harder to remember. But yeah, actual hordes of dudes were possible with underlings, which were like four or five to the minion. ...or in certain more-story-than-plot mission, where you were playing either your invincible future self or some big-name hero from one side or another.

I appreciate the final battle, even if you're probably superfluous unless you're somehow coordinating everyone's best attacks. The plot is just... why the gently caress would you announce yourself like some kind of Republic serial villain?

It feels like "Trooper" is kind of a class with... mechanical reasons to exist, but not story reasons? Like, the answer to "what does a Republic soldier do" was never really developed beyond "go on missions I guess?"

I dunno, SR-1 has a point. Why would you build combat robots if you were also willing to throw flesh-and-blood soldiers into the meatgrinder? I suppose when the other side's also building combat robots you've got to keep the numbers up.
