Waldorf Sixpence posted:Yes, but I think it was the Empire that put the mind control poo poo in your brain in the first place? I am not sure, I can't remember! They did. While I've never gone the side with Jadus route, it's later explained that Keeper was given the choice of the mind control stuff or you get killed by the Sith since you set a dangerous precept of being able to go up and take down a Sith while being a non-Sith. Keeper took the option that while still sucky, at least still kept you alive.

Fargin Icehole posted:It's all well and good, but if i remember right, I heard there was an option to murder one of your people in the beta, and people complained because it would lead to regrets about maybe murdering your only healer at the time? Quinn's the one most brought up example because he was the Warrior's healer and people were having a fit over his death being permanent despite having to click on a confirmation stating killing him off was permanent. Whether the ship droid was able to be customized as a replacement healer, I'm not sure but apparently no one was for that option. From what I've read, each of the classes had the options to kill companions. Ashara was one, Kaliyo was another, Skadge was, and I think Vector was too from what I remember off the top of my head. I think Vette could be traumatized into committing suicide. There's probably more but I can't remember. I have to admit that removing the option to kill off companions was a bad decision since it's a good example of having choices matter. Hell, I know some who would love the challenge of making do without specific role companions.

sassassin posted:What was the motivation for killing Quinn? Isn't he an unobjectionable loyal officer-type? Quinn is unfortunately stuck in the position of being the joe average caught between two powerful Sith Lords bickering. He's got Baras who's now a member of the Dark Council on one side, and the Warrior/Emperor's Wrath who may or may not be his lover on the other and he's got to decide between the two. Baras saved his career and is known to be a petty torture-aholic to those who piss him off, and the Warrior, while powerful with the backing of the Emperor might not be enough to pull off taking Baras down and regardless of how this plays out, there's a pretty good to definite chance of his getting killed so he betrays the Warrior to Baras for what's hopefully a quick death. What gets me with the fanbase griping about not being able to kill him off is it's hitting 5 years both real time and in game time, why are they all carrying on like what he did just happened with elaborate torture-death fantasies?

GuyUpNorth posted:If Warrior only had more opportunities for mind games after first chapter, because those were great moments. Those are my favorites. It's repeatedly brought up that Sith are master manipulators, yet it's more often shown the psychotic Sith that would be lucky to fake out an akk dog with a pretend throw of a ball. It's sad really that the writers missed some prime gold with not showing more manipulation options. McSpanky posted:I've been playing my Smuggler as generally doing the right thing but having no time for traitors and hitting on anything vaguely feminine and it's been pretty consistent with the options presented. Mostly light, a little dark and a girl in every port In my playing a Smuggler who's all about the credits, they've generally ended up neutral with maybe a slight lean towards darkside until you don't really get dark side points for choosing the "Pay me...In Credits!" option. I wasn't crazy on the patriotic privateer angle that came up because my Smugglers genuinely looked at the Republic as a private pool of credits where they had swimming privileges. Nerd Of Prey posted:Sticking to a character concept is so much more fun than picking choices based on light/dark. I did similar with my Bounty Hunters and it worked out really well until Skadge. It was jarring for my Hunters who were badasses that had shot people for less essentially wussing out to Skadge's bulling his way onto the ship especially as they were all ready to shoot him at the first chance for being more of a hindrance than anything during the storyline. I even made a point to be rude as gently caress to Skadge on each of my Hunters and he either just got angry or thought she was complimenting him. However I will admit that Gault referring to Skadge as 'the angry tumor' did make me smirk in KotFE.

Shadow of Revan started it with the expansion being able to be done completely solo. Still would've played better with it being an edition for each of the classes singly. I'd be all over a Sith Warrior version, a Smuggler version and an Imperial Agent version.

Nerd Of Prey posted:A group of two players and two companions is ideal for running tactical flashpoints, if you can handle running to the instance portals. From my experience, going the two player route works rather well save for some situational spots like that one junction before the glass corridor in Hammer Station. But even with things like that, it's doable with some strategy and reading up on a particular boss fight or two.

Colgate posted:Well, you also need to consider Legion was released for WoW several months ago, and is focused almost entirely on group content, so yeah, that segment is leaving for the most part. Personally, as someone's who's been leveling characters, the game doesn't really feel dead to me, and that it was probably worse during the Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadows of Revan periods where I came back for a while. I think people were saying SWTOR was dying the week it went live. Going from what I've read over in the various 'The game is DoooOOOOOooomed' threads on the SWTOR forums, it's mostly the hardcore PvPers and Raiders who are doing the most doomsaying. As far as server population goes from my understanding, some servers got hit with a one-two punch of the cheap server transfers and the changing all servers to have a PvP mode instead of designated PvP servers so a lot of their population migrated to the better populated servers and there's no real reason to have to go to a particular server for world PvP (not that I've seen anyone actually use it beyond instance hopping in a bugged heroic where they need more spawns for a bonus goal).

Fuzz posted:More like, "the original VAs wanted too much money." Going from the rumor mill on the SWTOR forums, reasons are ranging from the VA strike's hitting harder than expected to adding more new companions would have everyone forget the old companions since we're expected to have the attention spans of goldfish to there was so little planning with the KotFE storyline with so much presuming everyone would lose their minds loving it that Bioware figured they had the time and good will to really drag the storyline out. I'm going with a mix of all three since the strike's a pretty good reason for why they pulled out this KOTOR nostalgia thing out of the blue, that many Bioware fanbrats really do have the attention span of goldfish and that Bioware really is out of touch with how well their writing's regarded after all the bs with the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises.

KittyEmpress posted:It's not that difficult to understand. Every romancable companion has extra romance dialogues. If, during them, you choose flirt options instead if turning them down, it turns on the romance. This happens with every one of them. This is why on my Jedi Knight Doc flirted once in his conversations, and after I firmly told him no (twice in one conversation) he never flirted again. I'll probably have to replay some storylines because I could've sworn that I wasn't getting the romance dialogs on other characters like my Smuggler was with Corso off of just one flirt.

For as much as I thought it over, Legendary just felt like too much work for the rewards involved compared to the other tiers. As much as I do like mount and title collecting, the tank mount looked too clunky and I'm more enamored with my Speaker for the Dead title than being able to click a Legendary Victor title up.

I'd be up to doing it again if they redo it, but definitely making adjustments from what I learned doing the event this go. I pretty much endurance ran the event from the day it started because they were pretty vague as to when it'd end when it started and I wanted to get as much done before classes started because I wasn't sure how much free time I'd have at that point. Granted, the mostly stuck in the house over summer healing up from a bad fall contributed to that as well.

Grog posted:Hm. Along with the other bugs, the Arcann fight in Chapter 16 of KotFE seems to be bugged. After he blasts me across the room, I get stuck there and can't move, and the absorb/reflect 10% damage ability doesn't seem to do anything to him at that point either. I guess the patch needs a patch. I'm having an odd one of while taking out the skytroopers to help the Voss commandos on the way to the Tower of Prophecy, I'm having one of the skytroopers drop into the ground and lock me into combat to where I have to shut the game down in task manager to get out. I've had the occasional mob drop into the ground before and I'm unable to target them, but I never thought much of it since my companion's been able to target them and keep plinking away until they're dead. I treat it as a chance to stretch my legs for a bit. But with this instance, not only can I not target the mob, my companion doesn't seem to either and I'm left with the Voss plinking away on the trooper I can't even see a hp counter on to know if they're doing anything other than shooting at the floor. I've tried putting my companion on passive and putting distance between me and the mob to break combat with no luck. I've even made it all the way over to Theron and can't talk to him because I'm still considered in combat. Can't change map instance, log out or quit game either. After the first manual shut down, I stayed logged out for a bit and tried again. I was back at the starting point after going through the Voss sewer/corridor and it happened again. This time I've given it a few hours logged out and if it happens again, I'll file a ticket, but I am a bit twitchy about trying with a different toon in case it happens again.

Berke Negri posted:Finished it last night. I liked it a whole lot. That's actually been a pretty popular discussion point on the SWTOR forums since KotFE hit. Spoilering for a just in case. Considering how big it seemed they were aiming for, especially with all the statements of the Outlander having to take the Eternal Throne and the possibility that there will be people choosing for their character to become the Star Wars equivalent of God-Emperor, it's really dependent on how much the writers are willing to go for broke and actually dig into the possibilities. Pretty common is that after the Zakuul Empire poo poo was done that there'd be a return to the old Republic/Empire theme as everyone's rebuilding and in light of people getting offed like Saresh and the Emperor, it fits that for both factions there'd be some power plays and scrambling for more territory/resources since even with the willingness to drop hostilities to join forces against a bigbad, it never seems to last. There could be a chance to restructure the factions to a more rational and reasonable Empire and a back to our ideals Republic with internal factions being very resistant to that. There's exploring more into the 'mysterious' species/governments like the Rakata, and the Gree. There's also the option of revisiting the old content in a 'here's how it all looks now' so we'd get to see stuff like a Balmorra that isn't still wartorn. There's taking the background oneshot content like the Droid Rebellion from the Directive 7 flashpoint, or the Mother Machine on Belsavis and expanding those further. They could even cherry pick from the old EU for story ideas that don't suck or take the sucky ones and try to make them not suck. It's one of those since there's something like 3000 years until there has to be any concern about what happens in the movies since the Great De-canoning of the EU, the writers have the chance to go properly balls out for content ideas. But the question is are they knowledgeable and confident enough to do so.

Grog posted:I don't remember if this is a server load problem or if it's something else, but has anyone else been getting a lot of unresponsiveness since the patch went live? I just get random pauses for a few seconds where the NPCs and I can't perform any actions. I think it's happened before in the history of the game, I just don't remember if it's because of server issues or something fundamentally broken by whatever new bugs they've introduced in major updates. I've been having odd moments of that regardless of what my characters are up to or where they are. I've had it happen in my stronghold which I still have yet to pretty up while grinding out some crafting of all things. I do wonder if there's something up with the connection because my fiance's had it where it seems to drag with logging in to where he gets the pop up of 'connection issue' but soon as he clicks the okay to close out the pop, it logs him in fine.

I understand wanting to run it again, but wouldn't it have been just as easy and less of a "gently caress off" to create a second event? I'm guessing their reasoning is they don't want any "unobtainable achievements" in the game (They finally fixed the Treek one), but those of us nerds that grinded the hell out of that event get no satisfaction other than the sad reminder on our character count. I'm surprised they never put in a Feats tab like WoW did for archiving achievements that aren't possible anymore.

I probably shouldn't be surprised by this, but the sheer amount of butthurt raging on fleet chat on both JC and Harb about Lightside dinging wins so much I think tops out all the raging about the Galactic Command RNG for gear. I swear, it was like some are taking it personal, especially on Imperial Side that one guy was ranting all the light sided sith players should lose their characters in a lynching and be made to roll up jedi. I thought all this was, was a chance to earn some extra force alignment points and a possibility of tokens for cosmetics at a vendor and some are acting like it's a personal insult.
