You created this new thread so you could post your Sexy Skadge. :colbert:

Seems like a perfectly valid reason to me.

Yeah they put the EC and WC servers on the same server group. They said they tested it and there was no noticeable performance degradation, but people are losing their poo poo that their latency has skyrocketed and "YOU LIED TO US! YOU DECEIVED US! CANCEL MY SUB IMMEDIATELY!"

To be fair they do that when things like the several year old, previously-sub-only kotor swoop gets given out for free to everybody, too.

I feel out of SWTOR a while back, after feeing a bit overwhelmed by the "you're now the emperor and in charge of everything" rigmarole. Has it simplified at all since then?

Despite all that you're still expected to go and hit things in the face with your laserstick to fix them in the latest updates if that's what you mean.

Do companions get any attention after the original class quests?

I've just started on the post 50 stuff after years of not playing, and my companions are just standing there mutely during conversations. In my class quests they always had poo poo to say about my choices.

They have a few comments on Makeb I think but that's it until KotXX stuff, which hasn't got every companion back in the story yet.

This was a bug at launch of 4.0 and was the greatest bug of all time. Especially if you had decorated your stronghold with your companions, you zoned in and suddenly they were all pantsless. "Ummm guys, what's been going on while I was away?"

Couldn't you see other people's companions spawn in your stronghold as well or something? Sans pants, obviously.

What makes it long is the way most of the mobs and bosses have been padded out with stupid amounts of HP or abilities to delay their inevitable deaths. They're not hard, just take longer to kill than they need to which drags it out.

Also make sure you do the SOLO mode and not STORY if you are doing it for the, well, story. Only SOLO counts even though STORY gets you an astounding 124 more base cxp!

Aleth

That 124 more base cxp was totally worth it, though.

Oof, forgot how awful the Hero Engine is. I have a stutter every couple of seconds, no fps drop, just a slight tick in animations and it's driving me crazy.

There are a few fixes out there for various stuttering issues that you can try, just need to look up which is the most likely one for your hardware and settings.

In other news I added a new decoration for the Space Bar, complete with sound effects:

Towards the end of the end of the Sith Warrior story you're someone's personal assassin. At the end of the inquisitor story you're on the dark council, have part of the imperial military reporting to you and own entire planets. While this isn't really followed up much on, cruelly consolidating your power is what the inquisitor story is all about. I mean, when it isn't about capturing ghosts.

'Someone's personal assassin' being the loving Emperor's Wrath who actually outranks the Dark Council as the Wrath only answers to the Emperor. You're basically Vader.

Aphrodite posted:

The Wrath isn't under the Council's authority but can't command them either. The Emperor's special pals are outside the power structure.

He does essentially have the authority to execute them though if he considers them to be working against the will of the Emperor. But yeah, he can't start ordering them around day-to-day as that's not his job and there's always some other jerk that needs choking somewhere.

As Musco mentioned in the Live Stream yesterday, we’re busy working on an update to the Roadmap which should be available in mid-February. Keep in mind, we’ve just released Game Update 5.7, so expect the Roadmap to give you insight about the next 90 days or so.

I’m not ready to discuss all of the summer events and beyond that we’re planning. And, I definitely will not provide any information on what’s included in 6.0 . So, as always, hang in there, and we’ll provide you with what’s going on with SWTOR!

For the many of you who have asked privately, yes, I'm doing great, but December and January are typically very busy months for us with all the planning activities. Personally, I've been playing quite a bit, and am focused on crafting Superior Augments for my characters. Hopefully, I'll reach Elite Warlord on my 2nd character, very soon, and to be honest, I'm pretty happy with all the changes we made this past year for Galactic Command.
