:siren::siren::siren: AND THE WINNERS OF THE GOONOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST ARE :siren::siren::siren:

1st place - Sombrerotron. High effort video with a hilarious costume. Well done!

2nd place - Chickenwalker. Again, well done entry and who doesn't love Zapp Brannigan?

3rd place - Dely Apple. Just looks good!

We also decided to give a 4th place prize to Aleth since he was gung ho about the contest and posted constantly.

So - Winners may post here what item they want from the Oedzi Memorial tab in the guild bank. Assumption is that Sombrerotron wants the Pike, but there's plenty of other items to choose from for 2-4! Only off limits items are the Flagship parts, everything else is fair game. There are a few droid/beast companions, a Rakghoul weapon tuning, a few armor sets. Post which one you'd like and I'll send it to you - obviously first pick is 1st place, 2nd is 2nd place, etc.

After the 4 have made their choices I'll see what's left and randomly give away a few leftover items to the other people that participated. :)

I just wanted to make sure we had more than the two entries we got last time. Still feel a bit guilty for winning the lightning tuning for that.

Good costumes from everyone though! Now Medullah can start restocking the vault for a Christmas contest! :v:

Well no sense arguing about ability bloat anymore.

Sombrerotron, I sent Loveboat the Lightsaber Pike.

Chickenwalker, Dely Tronic, and Aleth post which item you want from the guild bank.

Everything else I'm selling for meth.

Don't worry about it, I was only entering to try and encourage other entries. Spend my prize on meth in celebration/denial of the new US president elect I guess.

Though the animation department did the anims. Credit where credit is due.

I just wish all these regen items were unlocks like vehicles and whatnot to save on bag space.

A shameful triplepost.

Right from the start Keeper makes it clear she could be an asset but one that you might need to terminate at some point. It's kind of expected that you don't fully trust her and are just using her for her connections and proven abilities in areas Intelligence are likely to be operating until she becomes a liability at which point yes, she goes out the airlock.

That was Quinn, the Sith Warrior companion. He was the only healing companion for the SW at the time so being able to kill him off and be left with no healing comp for a tank/dps class was kind of annoying.

What was the motivation for killing Quinn? Isn't he an unobjectionable loyal officer-type?

From the stories I've played I would have banished/killed:

Kaliyo, Lokin, Qyzen, Zenith, Scourge, Gault, Pierce, Broonmark, anything HK


I'm sure they felt the same about you, you terrible person.

So for melting Crystals, I get that you melt commons into Comp gifts, but what about the Radiant and Glowing? Also are Weapon Gifts still the overall most reliable gift across all the comps? (I know Courting are worthless)

EDIT: And what should I do with my Warzone Comms? Is tehre another way to get to Odessan other than buying the transport ticket?

Glowing can get you Exotic Isotope Stabilisers from the Odessen vendor.

Right now everyone is either taking a break or grinding DvL for the most part.

I would love it if we could get enough people for a weekly raid, even if it's an easy story mode raid, once 5.0 drops. Just never can seem to get enough people interested for any length of time.

I'd be up for it but you usually end up having to run it at a godawfully late hour for me, being in Britland and all.

They really need to add a cosmetic weapon slot if we're expected to use those crafted, non-customisable weapons.

Lightning tunings look good and I keep meaning to search for them on the market, except I don't know if I'll be using my current weapon forever so it's kind of a waste.

Unfortunately.


They do.

Fortunately you can extract them and move them to a different weapon if you want like any mod, they just don't unlock in collections.

Also just finished KotET and I have to say I love that my Odessen throne room is right above the bar.

Oh sweet, time to find one then. I have one of the lightsabers that mists a little bit around its base (Volatile Derelict); does it overwrite that or do both effects?

That's the exact one I'm using in that gif and they stack, although in cutscenes the lightning effect doesn't show up.

It is now possible to complete the Makeb Mission “Descent into the Core.”
Vaylin now appears with the appropriate hologram VFX when seen on the Horizon Guard’s holocom in the opening Knights of the Eternal Throne Chapter I cinematic.

I don't know if it's a SW only thing but talking to Ranos you can ask about Jaesa for a rather ominous answer.

Tank mount is pretty cool, except they have what appears to be a perfect opportunity to have you get inside and the doors close, but nope, you just stand there doing nothing. Booo. Hopefully Non-Entity just did the vehicle design and not the animations. :D



It really does just look like you've taken the turret and left the tank behind.

M_Sinistrari posted:

I agree with a lot of this. As much as they did cough up on the promise of tying up a load of threads, there's still some loose ones hanging. But for all we know those'll get taken care of in whatever they've got planned next. And I don't know if I'm the only one seeing it, but it felt that there were plenty of opportunities that they could've brought back some of the missing companions. Granted I know the actual reason's the VA strike that's still ongoing and probably budgeting issues on top of that, but drat if near the end it really felt off with Lord Scourge, Kira and Jaesa missing.


It's not just on the tauntaun mount. I'm seeing it happen on my savanna kybuck too.

For Jaesa as a SW if you ask Master Ranos about her you get told to forget any relationship that you might have had as she's gone insane and is leaving death and destruction in her wake as she searches for even more power in the form of Sith artifacts. That's for a DS Jaesa, I'm assuming LS was the same and is foreshadowing for an eventual confrontation down the line.

If we are going to do another contest how about a stronghold one? Could just do a Christmas-themed entrance room to the DK apartment so everyone can enter on a more even footing, although it would be a bit more involved to set up and judge than another costume competition.

Moon Slayer posted:

My LS Sith Warrior was told that Jaesa had been out there fighting the good fight against the Eternal Empire and helping people where she could, but when Ranos tried to contact her, she slipped away and went incommunicado.

Boo, thought maybe they'd done something sensible and settled on one canon path for her to become a future villain or something but I guess Vaylin hit their batshit insane character quota.

Pretty sure this isn't the first time you've whined about being underlevel and it turns out it's because you can't be bothered to play most of the game that awards you mountains of xp for little effort.

What happens if you keep Valk's Ghost Dad in the box? I have a feeling there aren't any other major revelations aside from "Valkorion's even more of a dick than you think! No, really!" Maybe he shows up in the final fight?

You bring him out from the holocron and he destroys himself trying to kill Valkorian, but manages to 'pierce his defences'. Then you do the usual bit with Vaylin and use the holocron to free her spirit from his control etc.
