Tedious bullshit was a selling point for MMOs once. And also it was Star Wars.

An RNG system works if the rates are high enough, so if they stick to that rate it should be just fine.

What's all this "tracer" stuff about, anyway?

Bounty Hunters have 2 missile animations: A simple one where they hold out their arm and fire a wrist rocket, and one where they crouch and the missile charges up a bit and fires off their back.

Tracer missile used to be the latter. But players didn't like that animation, and tracer missile was used kind of frequently so they kept asking it to be changed. It now uses the wrist animation and some other skill that's not used as often (and might be AC restricted?) uses the old one.

The mob is doing the old animation to the player, and he kills him with the newer one at the end.

You can see how crappy it is. The rocket stops, they return to standing, and then a piddly little missile fires over their shoulder.

I can't speak to the other force-using classes but SI felt like a perfect fit for the two most recent expansions. The whole "eat force ghosts to gain power" thing takes a cool twist with Valkorion and there are plenty of chances to continue being a power-hungry dick. It's certainly not the best Bioware story but I enjoyed it more than any of the previous content. Too bad it's still an MMO and not a fleshed out cRPG.

It depends how you played.

The SI can be either power hungry or want to tear everything down. The latter doesn't fit in so well with a lot of the KOTFE choices.

having not beat KOTOR 2 yet can someone spoil what you guys mean by pissing on the dichotomy of the force? right now it's just been "mysterious space lady is teaching you and revan is missing while you eradicate the jedi" even 20 hours in

That Light and Dark don't exist.



Star Wars is supposed to be black and white, good and evil, easily understood by children. That's why they viciously crush anything that suggests depth. Even if Lucas himself wrote it.

People thought the prophecy of the chosen one added nuance? Snuff that poo poo out.

Yeah I was never clear on why the light side just winning and getting rid of the dark side was ever a bad thing

Oh no, no more galactic warfare and slavery, this is just as bad as when Vader was choking people

But mon mothma's EMAILS

Because it never happened.

After episode 3 people were wondering "okay well where's the balancing the force stuff?" So then the theory about well maybe the prophecy wasn't talking about a good thing.

But Lucas came out and said "err, um, ahh" and then he wiped some sweat from his forehead with a stack of 100s, and said it was when he killed the Emperor, eliminating the dark side forev- oops.

They also removed the stance buttons, aka the "here's an opportunity to make a mistake because you forgot to do a thing after swapping disciplines" buttons.

But not the many references to them in talents, just for fun.

KOTFE and KOTET are granted to subscribers.

KOTFE would unlock everything currently released when you subbed, and they used the HK stuff to keep people subbed.

In Star Wars that makes her a good person.
