Star Wars: The Old Republic Discussion

You don't need to be subbed to play this update as long as you have all the expansions from what i understand so there's that,i'm also hoping this is the last time we see Tenebrae/Vitate/Valkorion as this seems to be like the perfect send-off for his character (not going to spoil anything but they seem to bring back a lot of people for this).

Article about the new login rewards and emote window that comes with 6.2 on the 9th.

Story update was alright. Thought it took a decent amount of time and put a solid end to the lingering emperor plot. However the new flashpoint was rubbish, only did the story mode but they overloaded it with trash mobs that take way too long to kill. I feel sorry for anybody that does it as a tank. Also was kinda disappointed that they didn't bother doing some unique faces for these new Mandalorian npcs, most just use the old generic player options

But hey for a free update, the first half was really solid while the last half could of used some more work. Def worth at least checking out if you are playing

So the update that turned the planet Bonus Series into dailies moved a few side quests around it seems.

I found one on republic Taris. I was all "that's a new quests??? I feel like I've done it before but now here". But it was moved from backwater Taris to Taris arrival zone. The quest makes a bit more sense now.

Really?

They added "exit to entrance" to some quests, brought the quest givers closer to that exit point, but didn't fix that one???? 

New stuff with 6.3

Galatic Season (I remember them talking about that way back before Onslaught)

New story Flashpoint (pretty much as speculated by the community)

Some more things about the Galactic Season.

Officially confirmed that progression is legacy-wide for the track.
Rewards, when it make sense, will unlock in collection (ex: cartel market items).
The Fleet apartment rewards, you won't see other players running around, but they are still deciding over linking the fleet chat to the instance (aka tell the devs to do it).


Not "expac" story content have been flashpoints (or less often daily areas) since Fractured Forged Alliances. It's basically the only design paradigm they haven't moved away from.   I think we can expect the usual ~20 minutes of cutscenes that comes with it (and 40-50 minutes long flashpoint full of trash mobs with too much health). The flashpoint will also have different NPCs joining you and enemies based on you character being Imperial or Republic.
As for the "spoiler", I'll believe it when I see it. 

I mean the extra goodies for just logging and playing is always nice. Though I hope it's not too punishing on those of us that aren't playing 24/7. I don't think they should let people skip levels with cartel coins though, in game credits is fine.

As for the story stuff, will wait and see. I really miss actual fully flushed out planets. It's been just a small sliver of a place and then maybe a flashpoint in the last bunch of updates.

I finished my Consular Chapter 1 at level 65.5. I'm only running with the XP booster given by class/planet quest lines and some of the legacy unlocks (class /exploration/FP).

I'm now level 66 because I did the Black Halo weekly, one of my favorite place to see how my characters are performing. I've done it often enough to know when things go well and when they don't (aka more than 20-25 minutes and the char is under performing).

I'm really enjoying the Consular more than the Knight too. It's a mood thing.

Some weird things thought, I'm pretty sure there are two missing quests in Alderaan Bonus Series, both at the first outpost you go.

I read that Gunnery/Arsenal wasn't too hot right now. I saw players joking about it in the in-game chat. I don't know the specific.

So i'm having a pretty odd issue lately. Sometimes when I launch the game it refuses to have the wasd keys work for movement. They'll type fine in chat/gtn etc but I cant' move with them. I've tried resetting the interface, keybinds etc doesn't work. Have to fully close the game and for whatever reason it may or may not work again on the restart.

Only game it happens in and I've had no changes to background apps and don't use any overlays
