FYI collection unlocks are 50% off right now, and some are deeply discounted more, some down as low as 5 cartel coins. Voss Dignitary was a 5cc one.

Thanks for this. Finally got all my mounts unlocked. Forgot I even had the ambassador's hoverchair, can't remember which alt picked it up years ago but it looks great on my main.

Agreed, I don't have time to play very much, but I absolutely love how I can login whenever I have time and get my star wars fix bascially treating it like a singleplayer game. I do wish they made poo poo like mounts account wide like gw2 so alts didn't feel so lame.

They are account wide, you just have to pay to unlock them. Buy more gems cartel coins dude.

Secret World is pretty great and has a mankini so it kinda beats GW2. SWTOR used to be a lot worse and improved a lot after going f2p. If only they hadn't removed compatibility with some of the companion weapons and ruined my Kaliyo.

Bringing back Shae and Nico is a good move. Much nicer to start alts with an insta companion.

Now if only they'd give us another chance at getting the HK story mission.

I would LOVE an MMO where the main PVE storyline is you as a standard soldier/warrior/wizard/whatever- You're not the big hero who saves the world.

LOTRO is kind of like that. The fellowship is off saving the world and you help with lessor threats in their absence and occasionally support their mission, but you're not the ring bearer.


Per KOTFE/ET, I would not have minded the consolidated storyline if it had been good. But it wasn't. It was probably easier (cheaper) with the "original" content to have less story oversight from Lucasfilm, but at least going back to Imperial/Republic should ensure some modicum of consistency and hopefully less suckage.

Yo fellas, I'm looking for a big, beefy BFG of a rifle for my Vanguard. Could you post some ideas?

Check the pvp vendors, some of those are on the large side.


You might also check out the Rakghoul event vendor.


I'm partial to the tommy gun from the casino event.

Alternatively I could actually play through KOTOR1 and KOTOR2.

This. Very this. KOTOR2 is even better now with the Steam workshop, you can easily get that one uber restored content patch that restores so much of what was cut.

If you haven't played KOTOR2, it's good. Like a giant middle finger to Star Wars.

It's like The Last Jedi of Star Wars games.

This why you take breaks and rotate MMOs. I come back to SWTOR every 4-6 months and legitimately have fun for a few days. When there's nothing left to hold my interest I roll on with no hard feelings. I know we'll meet again and enjoy our next visit.

I think it's more they realized that the playerbase that was interested in the XP grind was finite and had already done it, so at least this lures the casuals who just want to play all the stories and not futz about with anything else. The few completionists left can still play every quest if they want. I know I would have stopped with just doing a couple stories if they still took as long as they did at launch.

I wish they'd add some story content, however minor, on a more regular basis so I'd be more inclined to login more than once every 2-3 months.

You can buy an unlock with cartel coins that lets you wear purple, right? Also, you can stash purples and then use a referral code for a week or something of free sub time and equip them then. If you have them on when the time expires you can keep wearing them. Convoluted work around, but w/e.

KOTET is written like mediocre fanfiction because that's what it is. It's not WoW level bad writing, but it's not as good as anything in the class stories. Doubtful anything else ever will be. Temper your expectations and it's fine.

I wish they'd bring back the HK bonus chapter in some fashion. I was a broke student back then and could hardly afford textbooks much less half a year sub, but now that I have money I'd happily pay for it.

Hell, give the tools to the community and let them design dungeons and write scripts and let someone on the dev team curate it (this is kinda halfway realized with strongholds and would be a waaaaaaay better use of that system).

Doesn't STO have player generated quests? We'd just end up with a endless stream of TLJ rewrites.

I thought (could be wrong) that it used to be the unlocks for hiding helms etc. could drop from crates and sold on the market, so f2p could purchase them if they wanted to grind for credits. The escrow system is a bit of a gently caress you for this, but if they raised the limit (especially considering inflation) so that there was nothing out of reach for f2p, just a really long grind if you don't sub, then I don't think there'd be as many complaints.

The last several times I jumped into a pvp match solo we were up against premades and got utterly curb stomped. Random pubbies thrown together just can't match the coordination of even a mediocre premade. I prefer being in premades because of this, but it does discourage just casually hoping into a pvp match by yourself. If the matchmaking had some logic to prefer pairing premades with premades and only paired with solos when nothing else was available it would not be a bad thing.

If you take part in both the current phase and next, there are achievements to earn along side titles, and if you do all of them you get a mount an actual flying log mount, supposedly

Does this mean earn achievements in the PTS? Is there a list of what to do?
