Star Wars: The Old Republic Discussion

seems like they are not putting the (horrid) changes to Sorcs/Sages into 6.1 ... as Eric stated here

Some info about incoming story update.

Looks like 6.1 is going to be mostly character updates. While 6.2 is going to have the actual (weird) story stuff.

There is also a new subscriber rewards (Tauntaun mount) for those subscribed between January 28th and February 29th.

Been playing a lot of this lately. Current most interesting to me is the Imperial Operative. One thing I've noticed is that Darth's who take in interest in him tend to die. As for the others, talking smack to them is the best thing ever. Not sure how he gets away with it but he really makes it clear he doesn't see him as a threat. I can't wait to see how this all turns out. Thought I could only play Jedi/Sith but I'm really in love with this one.

Did get the new mount. A few of my chars already have jetpacks so this will be good for those without.

Agent is probably the best story overall.

It’s been a while since I finished a class story of any class. Lol. I’m leveling an agent now though

I did a little of it without consequence.  And then I never had to worry about him again.  His daughter, though...lol  Poor Keeper but *shrug*

Patch 6.1 was delayed to TBD, but they posted the release notes.

So I think there's a companion approval discrepancy when it comes to dialogues, decisions, etc. I'm playing the commando and I noticed every time the avatar speaks to Garza or other NPC, the other in-active companions would approve / disapprove. At the end of the dialogue, the points for each companion for that dialogue is shown. This does not happen for other classes that the player always have to ply in-active companions with gifts or their rep with the avatar remain stagnant.

Why did the devs do this? It makes no sense.

Since they change it such that even disapproval also garner points, less of course, they should have implemented it as well. *shrug* I guess it doesn't matter since only one companion is active all the time and I don't really bother very much with the rest except score some points during private dialogues. 

The classes that would sometimes show this is the SW; approval and disapproval (Mr Molely of course). I don't see a lot of it for the SI. Some for the agent. The commando clearly has all the advantages; need not take the trouble to ply companions with gifts.

I have returned again to the game. It seems, I can't let go. I have bought two month of subscription and level a bit. I tried to play the free version, preferred status, but there are just too many restrictions imo, so I subscribed and see, what happens.

I have some characters at Star Forge and at some of the European server. But my main character is at Star Forge.

So Jaesa returns for the SW. I've been encouraging her towards the good so when she said she wanted to talk privately, I thought she wanted to discuss what she had been doing the missing years.
