Star Wars: The Old Republic Discussion

Have you done it like pic related? The chestpiece is stamped with a black/black dye and all other parts you wish to be dyed also have to be put into the outfit, then unify the colors with the chestpiece, or leave some pieces unticked if you prefer the way they look without the dye like what I have done in the above example.

But you absolutely have to have all the pieces you wish to be visible in your outfit put into their slot in the same outfit tab. If you leave a slot open it'll just display whatever you actually have equipped in that particular gear slot, and in its default color scheme. I don't have any headgear in this particular example since I always hide it.

I recorded the battle with Arcann (and everything else to the end) for my sith warrior because she is a favourite and I won't be doing it again with her. I'll do another recording for the sorceress since she's another fav. For the Rep side recordings, it's probably going to be the JK, consular and the commando (because "Shepard"  )

Impromptu flashpoints may be happening tonight on Shadowlands. Just sayin, if you want in...

Nuuuuuu! I missed it! *has big ol' hissy fit*

Maybe next time.  I hope you guys had fun!

they reset every Tuesday ... so when you did Hutta let's say Monday, you could do Hutta again Wednesday

Sadly, FPs never happened. Saberchic mentioned she'd be down but I didn't see her. To be fair, TOR's character based friending isn't the best for facilitating these kinds of meetups.

So... are people interested in these being a regular thing? If so, what's the best way to keep in touch and set this up? Here? Steam? I don't usually log into Steam for TOR but I can make an exception if people have that. Or do we have certain days that people like? Thursday nights?

Also, I'd be down with running heroics as well. Full group+ bonuses= all the moneys

Finally, while we're at it, who PVPs here? I know you can't do custom games like GW2 but can you go in with premades? How hard is it to get 900 comms? I don't really want to PVP but there's a lightsaber I want and this may be the only way to get it.

Thursdays works for me and did someone say heroics + BONUS.........count me in! I love money so much,    And here is probably the best because I don't sign into Steam regularly.  Usually only when I play Dragon's Dogma.

Dr Tongue's 3D House Of Jedi Knights?

Props and internet cookies for whoever gets that reference.

Jo Wyatt interview!!







Dear lord, I would pick synthesis if this lovely lady told me to in that voice...

If I'm on my marauder I gather up everything because Pierce is at 45 and can heal me through the end of the world Too bad, so sad for everyone else

^ Oh I encountered that more often than not in open instances. I'm in the vanguard, plowing my way to the boss. In sidle another player, skips, jumps for the possible shortcut route and snags the boss. I don't nip chests if someone is front of me because I'll feel bad. The point of playing games is to feel good, not the opposite, not to nip nor sneer nor get one over other people. Cooperate and everyone feels good. One reason why I marked swtor extremely low for social dynamics.

My appreciation goes to those who can try to grab but decided, WTH let's team up. I was doing a heroic on DK just now, waiting for the boss to respawn in the open. In came another player and he chose to team up with me. We went on to complete the DK heroics together and parted happy.

On this return to swtor, refreshing myself with the classes and getting acquainted with the great offensive skills among them. I've to say I'm impressed with the reaching range of the sorceress's attacks. Lol-ed at the bounty hunter's super gluey fire turret; merrily burning on the mob's head and following him even if he jumps to a spot out of your reach (take that you bugger, you can't escape me!    ) And even better, if that mob is dead, it jumps to his pal.

Crushing the windpipe with the warrior is sooo satisfying.   

Kicking /pushing  the mobs into space and beyond with the sorceress and the jedi guardian. Fav AOE. Hard to pick. JK, BH, sorceress have really good ones. 

The sentinel is weaker and I wish this class could kick a mob metres away. It's dumb when JK npcs can do that. The animation when she destroys something is very weird! For the guardian, she throws her lightsaber. For the sentinel, I see some lightning flashes. Her right arm is stretched out but I see nothing in her hand. Sometimes I'll see a twirling lightsaber and she's always frozen in this stance (running in such a manner) when I move her. It breaks off when she fights.

Consular has a good range too, reminds me of Satele with her power blasts. Earthshaking power like the jedi npcs, thumbs up.

I finally remembered why I created another JK. Both guardian and sentinel are romancing the new NPCs.   The others are remaining faithful or are single.

Oh yeah, competing for slow spawning NPCs is the worst. Waiting for one, offering to team and having that declined is the ultimate dick move. I know the Boss on DK you mentioned, and I've had both variations happen to me. One douchebag refused to team (I ended tagging first so ), while in other cases we did group, do the rest of the heroics together and everyone had an awesome time.

I remember another instances on Voss where I had to kill an elite as part of a bonus mission. I get to the elite find him dead. So I wait for a bit. I wasn't paying attention at teh split second when he respawned when another player appears beside him, tags him, kills him and logs out. I guess he was farming it...? So I wait around on a hair trigger this time, saber throw the second he shows up- just as that asshole logged back in. He could only stare in impotence as I finally completed my mission . Who does that though? Ok, farming some elites used to be good for credits or whatever. But when that elite is part of a mission (even if it's bonus) and it's the only one, that's the one you farm? Bunch of dicks.

lol did my Psi Corps badge give it away? Between my sig, my tendency to gush about the show any given time and the thread we have for it I wouldn't be surprised if people who don't know me just called me the "Babylon 5 guy"

Anyway, have a verbal like as well for B5 and SWTOR healers (especially the agent). Incidentally, you wouldn't happen to know where I can get a proper Psi Corps badge IRL? The ones on Amazon claim to be show authentic but even glancing at any screen from the show will reveal it to be anything but.

Back on topic I love my female agent as much if not more than you do your female smuggler. Scoundrel Sawbones/Operative Medic is also one of the most fun classes to play and I can't not pick when making a new agent/smuggler. Stealth + heals? I'm still shocked they allow that combination. In terms of making the characters too, these ones stand out for false starts for me as well.

My agent I initially made a Chiss Male (because who doesn't?) but deleted him when I met my exact twin on Hutta. Definitely glad that lead me to the female.

My smuggler (male) I made and deleted four or five times before I finally stuck with him. Not because I didn't know how to make him or didn't like my results. I had my vision of him from day one. It's just that I wanted to play the class but wasn't sure I'd get through it. This was in the bad old days where teh full grind was in place. Without the advent of 12xp I might never have actually gotten through with him

Here's a link to my characters btw.


Obviously, I disagree with you about the current system being a bad thing. The game was never "challenging" it was simply tedious. And to the claim that it "taught" your class, I didn't do a flashpoint until Ilum, well into my second return to this game and until Disciplines got put in, all my characters apart from my sorc and my agent were gimped hybrids, the two exceptions being so only because I was able to make them versatile enough that the lack of capstones didn't bother me (for solo play anyway). On the flip side, I'd say I'm a decent Operative healer (for PVE at least) now but none of that comes from the leveling grind (my agent being one of the ones I did with full grind). Instead I just kept queuing for FPs, read a guide or two and kept playing till I got good. Never got much complaints either.
