They absolutely do not. Even when everyone knows who you are you still get random assholes who try to intimidate you. If anything, it just gets worse.

For the most part it won't even matter for story though. Even tanking your way through it means you'll just have to attack four times instead of three for most trash mobs.

No. But also yes.

Don't worry about it, you will end up running enough characters to use any alignment-locked gear eventually.

Yeah, it is. It's easier when EXP events are going but I did Agent without doing any side stuff

Also when you finish chapter 3 with one character you get the Legacy ability stuff that applies to all characters, which makes things slightly easier again once your companion is with you.

Yeah they have, it's way easier to level now. The double XP events are so frequent that you'll be getting it more often than not, and when you have the boosts piling up unused it's kind of funny.

I'm with you, I've always maintained that the Star Cabal (i.e. non-Force users tired of both Jedi and Sith loving the galaxy up) was a unique and wasted opportunity for some endgame story content.

It might have been an interesting way to do cross-faction event stuff, since the main reason they were successful at all is the precognitives they were trying to take down were busy killing each other instead. Super intricate and long-reaching plans don't generally do great against people who can see the future, and a "hey these guys are a problem" temporary truce might have been interesting. Maybe even foreshadown the Eternal Alliance and all that.

More than a few fights in that chunk of expansions have been broken by later stuff. I've had level 75 characters with maxed gear fail to beat some of them.

There was another stupidly overpowered boss earlier, a hydra looking thing in some temple, but it wasn't an actual quest objective so I just ended up running past it.

Was that a world boss maybe? I ran into a few of those early on and thought they were just normal champion mobs. They are not soloable. I bet people enjoyed watching newbies feed themselves to SD-0 pretty regularly over the years.

Telling you to re-roll after that would probably not have gone down well. I remember the first time I found myself back in tutorial mode when hitting KotFE and that was surprisingly irritating all by itself.

It's not too hard to just carefully stagger stuff so that you get the rewards across 10+ characters and slowly grind towards conquest with all of them before frantically having to shove points in towards the ends, but we're still a far cry from the days of deliberately jumping off the train on Umbara over and over to reset the boss fights and farming that way.

For me, Iokath's problems are two-fold: there's too many places where you can't really avoid mobs that you don't have to fight for the actual dailies and some of the dailies just take a bit too long. The worst of the bunch is the one with the lasers or whatever that you have to activate/deactivate except sometimes the clickables don't work or maybe they were just used by someone else and you have to hang around and wait for possibly several minutes before they reset and argh

Most of the Ossus dailies are quite easy and take very little time to complete, plus there's just a whole lot of them that you can do more or less simultaneously. It's a good way to farm some additional tech fragments. Also, mMost irrelevant mobs can be avoided without much difficulty and there's several quick travel points to speed things up even more. Onderon tends to take a little more time, but if you know which dailies to take you can complete the Imp weekly quite quickly too. Rep-side is definitely worse though, bit too much of a hassle for me to do that one often. But again, it's not difficult to avoid getting into unnecessary fights and there's a fair number of quick travel points to make it faster and easier still.

Iokath does have some cool rep items though. I like the Imp version of the speeder a lot!

Rep side Onderon you can pretty much complete in a loop if you go right when you leave the city. There's a tiny bit of backtracking towards the end where you need to go into the middle to fight the beast riders, but it's still a pretty quick way to blast through a daily area.

They're useful if you've got a guild and want to help it hit goal. I tend to hit it trivially on a character I'm leveling and then just speed through the maxed ones later on.

I don't think I ever changed my keybinds. Middle-clicking is also controlling the camera so it's an extremely odd situation anyway. Probably due to me updating the version on my wife's laptop that's been sitting unused since 2020.

same, i played at launch and i still remember it being great fun
doubly so because a lot of stuck up starwar nerds played at that time so when playing with randos they would sometimes flip out if you won the "wrong" dialogue roll

I remember that being because of limited opportunities to gain points early on, so people would rage about it hard enough that you'd hear about it in unrelated game lobbies. Good times.

Turn credits into cartel coins, costs 1bn credits per slot machine pull, 5% chance to get cartel coins

Basically any way to turn credits into the other currencies used to buy items like from the Bounty Hunter's Guild vendors etc would be pretty cool. Have a shady dude hanging out behind a crate who'll sell you a quater of a Cartel Market Certificate for a million or something.

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

When I was doing PVP for the seasons stuff or to make the weekly guild rewards that I have forgotten the name of I'd say "hey I suck at this but need to play X games to hit goal. Feel free to drop now and complain to the devs" and either get some lols in response or get some racial slurs thrown at me before the person dropped. Good times :allears:

I found that given how toxic the general chat is people never report poo poo, so when you do report something it tends to get actioned pretty quickly. I remember getting a few messages from really pissed off shitlords who blamed me for timeouts.

Yes. L3-37 in Solo has a whole scene about it.

I'd never done the Tatooine bonus quest line and I'm not sure I will again because there's a stretch (which I'm sure you all know) where you have to go down a stretch of nothing but Tusken Raiders with too many to drive through and it might be the most tedious thing ever.

And now we're off to Alderaan and the Killik.

Once you get high enough in level you just shoot past them on your speeder and it's not a problem. It's a pain if you make the mistake of doing the bonus quests on your first visit to a planet due to leveling too fast, but you're supposed to ignore them and come back later.
