I'm back in randomly. I have played this game on and off again for the past 12 years and that feels nuts to me lol. I've def put more money into it than any other mmo. I don't think it's a great game but every once in a while it scratches a certain itch. I guess it's doing well and making money to still exist.

I just started a new character. I love to play darkside jedi knight and light side sith warrior. It just tickles me

I just love the idea that as light side warrior and dark side knight you can get really close to the grey. Just folks who fight for their society but think that their religion may be a tad extreme. Like jedi knight is getting told to forgo any attachments or emotions and he's like that's dumb and warrior is walking around everyone messing up their own chain of command and it would work a lot better if they just focused on being normal.

I like the sith inquisitor as a person who doesn't give a poo poo about sith or jedi. She was a slave who is constantly told she sucks and now she's got lightning powers and ghosts in her head and you know what gently caress em all time to get more power so she never becomes a slave again.

So I finally watched a video about how to make credits. I really like Star Wars Academy videos. Explains things as if I were a 5 year old which is what I need. So I found out I was sitting on like 7k of tech frags and now long story short I have 150M credits.

Yeah Swtorista makes good videos. I don't get how she has the time to spend that she does on SWTOR stuff. I've helped her make a few guides and videos and I get worn out just doing a couple things.

I also feel bad because she has to deal with the extra fun of being a girl on the Internet. We hung out a bit at the Star Wars Celebration cantina in Chicago and she told me some stories hooo boy.

I also got to meet Non-entity there and that's when our love became real

Ill be honest I tried a couple of different channels and I went back to hers the most because her voice was soothing and calm. Everyone else was a bit shrill and grating. Sucks she goes through that her effort and yours are appreciated.

I haven't been doing ops yet because I'm not level 80 yet but I have been doing a ton of flashpoints and I have about 520 million credits I've gotten in like a week.

Currently running through a dark side councilor story and I don't think I've killed as many jedi in any other story.

It is pretty wild to me. I've played this game on and off since it came out but I'm really in there now and have made like 600 million credits and never before have I had more than 900k. So of course right when I figure out how to make some money they are gonna change it on me lol.

I played the game on launch, popped back on and off through the teens, and now I feel like I'm fully in. I'm playing every day, doing weeklies and daylies, pvp matches and I feel like just so in. There is like a zen you go into. Also if you play pvp turn off chat, those folks are toxic.

For some reason I'm thinking about loving around a bit with this game again. Got some questions.

Planning on starting a character from scratch and play the story while doing some PvP on the way.

Reading the OP things seem to have changed a lot since I last played. So I have questions.

- I have a couple of lvl 70 characters since earlier. I plan to delete them. But, what resources might they be sitting on that would be useful for a new character and how do I get the useful stuff over to the new one? Assume I have no clue about how the game works.

- Is there still such a thing as lightning sorcerer and is it still ok for PvP? What other classes would you suggest for being "useful" in PvP? I don't mind playing something that is underplayed as long as it contributes. Thinking Empire.

- Are guilds global or do I need to get on the US server to join the goon guild? And can I even as a Euro?

- Anything else?

Thanks!

If they have anything like tech fragments, daily matrixes, fp-1 tokens and the pvp token they should be linked to any legacy character. Otherwise if they are really old and have the old currency like what you used to need to use to get good companion gifts they have vendors set up on the fleet to spend that.

You can use any class if you've unlocked it for any character. So basically I can make a Sith Jedi Guardian or a Jedi Lightning Sorcerer. As for PVP my experience has been that sorcerer's make good healers on pvp.

There are global guilds but they are tied to factions. So I am part of a guild for my republic characters and a different one for my Empire characters.

Also I can't recommend SWTORISTA enough. I have played this game on and off since 2011 and only got into PVP this year but I feel like I've caught up thanks to her help. She has a ton of video tutorials on youtube and written tutorials on her website that are written as if the reader is a 5 year old and really breaks it down step by step. She taught me all about tacticals, which gear to get depending on the game mode i'm playing and how to get it and where to go. It's even got pictures to really help. I love her stuff

I have a sorcerer that I kinda split 50/50 healing and dps and I get laser focused in pvp when I'm healing. I can sit in a corner and poo poo out lightning bolts but as soon as they see some green I get murdered. It's still fun though

If you ever see a Merc named Jai in pvp that's me. I also like to try to keep my pvp chat light. I've kinda taken it on me to keep the toxicity down. I can't stand folks who lose and then go man this entire team sucks. I've been told to kill myself at one point. And they yell at anyone with gear under 324. And I'm just like dude did you even try to explain it? Also it's just a loving game why are you so mad

Bioware is a company that hates the things that brought in the most money. They hated swtor and they hated good writers. I will always remember fondly the bioward of 1998 thru like 2012. That's the Bioware that made me excited about games. Frankly these days the company that makes me the most excited is Capcom lol

swtor was the last bioware game that even felt close to a bioware game. And now it's not so Bioware's transformation into a company that does not make games I enjoy is complete.

I still hear folks talk about SWTOR as oh man what a fumble but honestly I don't think you can be considered a failure or bad game if you're an MMO that lasts for 10+ years. And just for my money, swtor is the only mmo I've repeatedly come back to and played for any given time.

I haven't tried a ton - WOW, FF14, Secret World. Swtor is my fav.

I might have gotten some from you in the past haha. I remember I was on DK months back and someone handed out probably close to a billion credits to a bunch of players.

I'm pretty sure I'm on Star Forge. Or Satele Shan one of the two.

I logged back in and all my credits were down to a million. when i resubbed they came back so I can say at least for me they didn't just disappear after 6 months. You may have been robbed.

So I started my sith warrior and was planning on doing a lot side run romancing dark side jaesa. I didn't realize I had to be dark side when I get to get to do this.

Since I'm a freak I made a new sith warrior and plan to do dark options until I get to her and then go light because I'm a freak lol

I really like the way my toon came out. He's got Anakin's costume but is bald a white skinned alien. Looks like what Anakin might have aged to look like eventually.

And as always I'm rocking that half faced mask

Right I'm going to play it safe and kill her parents and her old teacher and then after I recruit her I'll play light side.

From an RP setting I am going to look at it like my character starting out dark but it losing its appeal when he takes on a fallen jedi apprentice. She fixed him but he broke her lol.

Also this means for the first time ever I am shocking the poo poo out of vette and its really uncomfortable lol.

I am currently playing a dark side jedi using lightning powers. It rules.

Yah, they are cartel market specific, limited time only.

Speaking of pvp, 500 matches to go, woo!

It does feel as if something has changed in pvp meta since 7.4 - stuns feel a lot more common. Im spending a large amount of my time locked down, which is absolutely my personal bugaboo

Of course, this could just be confirmation bias, or Im being focused cos my gear is still 336... certainly seems more prevalent, tho.

my only issue with playing pvp is that a lot of folks are very salty about you being not as experienced as them. like dang im sorry i just got to level 80 and didn't even know about that pvp vendor or the tactical stuff.

Solid Sith look, to be sure. Did you actually buy the dye with CCs or credits, or did it pop out of a Cartel Pack? I like the new ones, but not quite enough to justify (directly) paying that much for them.

I bought them with CCs and that is my dark side Jedi Knight because that's how I play lol
