SWOTOR is some sort of MMO monthly fee thing? o-o That does cool my ardor for Malavai quite a bit. Youtube will have to suffice- maybe even some fan fiction. The class stories can be done completely free-to-play. You won't be able to do the Fallen Empire story (and thus, not be able to see his most recent return to the story), but you also, technically, won't lose him in the first place if you don't do that story, so there's that. Okay okay. I just read Malavai Quinn fanfiction It's official that this is my biggest fictional character crush since I experienced Thane 4 months ago. I'm going to have to play. Barely understand Star Wars. Watched 2 of the original trilogy over a decade ago and watched "Rebel One". There is the "Evil Empire" and the rebels run by "jedi" but like...the Force Weilders are dying out or something so they're special snow flakes. And I'll have to fight for the Evil Empire to be able to romance Malavai Quinn. Will probably start playing after I finish my Dorian romance. I blame you @carefull !! for mentioning him at all.

SWOTOR is some sort of MMO monthly fee thing? o-o That does cool my ardor for Malavai quite a bit. Youtube will have to suffice- maybe even some fan fiction. You can try it for free, it's just very restrictive. The next level is buying a sub for month or two, it will place you in the "preferred" category opening up some good options (such as more characters you can create on one server, and ability to level up faster, more levels, higher credits cap & a few more races to select from to play + you open the race after running it up to level 50 for all classes).
I suggest waiting for SWTOR sub to go on sale, as it should within the next couple of months, since Summer time is a dead time for any MMO. Then just scoop up cheapo sub. It will give you Cartel Coins that you can use to purchase whatever useful unlocks are atm. Back in my time we bought the cheapest Level 10 crystal with the Most Important Stat and unlocked it in collections.
I guess, as of right now you probably get tons of Legacy gear that you can pass between characters for free? If so, you can gear up numerous characters with one set of armor if you level them in parallel, or just use blue gear dropped from Heroic missions (still valid, I guess?)
I dunno, what else? I guess, I can gratuitously plug my fanfiction, since it was the last time I wrote fanfiction ever. Been a long time. I miss those chars.

You gals are very funny. Can't fathom why you like such terrible bad boys. *ducks* I'm not looking to return to swtor as yet. I'd give it another year. I doubt I'll be taking Quinn's side though my sith warrior has not taken on any one new, I think. I can't remember. That's the bad aspect to swtor, there's no indication with whom the toon romanced in the class stories. The only clue is the one message received in the expansion and that's only if you keep the msg from the old squeeze. No clue on the new squeeze if there is one.

Just as well since its spoilery Your character has their class stories from levels 1-50. Once the class story is finished your companion stories are as well, including the romance. Then in one of the DLC spoilery stuff happens that gives you a whole new set of companions that you can romance. Depending on the romance character, you may or may not see your old romance again.

Sorry, I was talking about the expansion; Knights of the Fallen Empire, Knights of the Eternal Throne, in which the old crew return for each class character. Yes, you lost the old crew once you move to the expansion but they return later. While playing the class stories, you can keep track of which toon your PC romance. But once you go on hiatus and then come back to the game, unless you kept written notes, you won't recall which one (if you have many toons. I know some players have as many as 20) because there is no tracker. The only way to tell is to look at your ingame messages from your companions, if you have not deleted them already, as they will tell you. The companion you romance will send you loving messages or gifts in the last phase of the romance. Go on to the expansions and you're given options for new romances because, er...the story fall out that way. I won't spoil it. It's the same problem, there's no way to tell who it is if you go on hiatus and come back. There're not many for the new, it should not be hard but you may accidentally cut off the one you're going for when you thought it's another.

I played a bit yesterday and got the new vector mount. I'm saving up golden certificates to buy that pearl something mount and the bar decorations. I want to have a party at my SH!

I find its funny that people really don't think SWTOR's ongoing development for Bioware as relevant. And funnily, Anthem made Bioware Austin look cool now.

I tend to call the Nightlife Event "CLICK-fest Event" in my mind though I have to say fortune smiled upon me: tried the clicking with 3-4 toons, spend all in all 500k tops and got the Wraith mount, the Pig and about 10 certificates ... me thinkz I should stop now BTW: doing unranked PVP right now is rather frustrating: all the others seem to have 248 set bonus gear except my poor Jedi telekinetic sage (rank 130 now - LOL I know - I got the complete set bonus all right but it's 236 ) ... why do these people play unranked and not ranked PVP I wonder?!

I'm going to buy it and play it after I get done with DAI. Don't know whether I should consider myself spoiled or not after watching 40 minutes of Malavai Quinn romance video? I will warn you that SWTOR is in no way controller friendly (technically possible though), IIRC you went out of your way to set up ME on the PC to be playable with a controller since I read the threads on your Mass Effect and Witcher adventures. However, since I get the impression that you'll be almost completely focusing on the non-group content, in the way the game works in 2017 you can easily get away with just using your mouse to click on your abilities instead of keybinding them all. Here's an old screenshot of my Madness Sorc as an example to give you an idea of the ability bars. They're not all exactly something I use in every fight, but there's a ton of utility stuff like quick travel and speeders, long term buffs that need refreshing now and then and other abilities that I still sometimes use so they get a slot on one of the bars, but rarely enough that I don't bind them to anything and can just mouse over them and click when I do use them. Though looking at the bars from this angle I do realize I have some for me completely useless stuff there that I never touch like Force Slow and other speeders than the only one I ever really use. I guess I should clean it up a little

I know some players have as many as 20 Yeah, we call those lightweights You ain't a SWTOR fan unless you got 25+ toons per server on at least 3 different servers I don't play as much lately, but I still recommend trying the different class stories. They are classic Bioware narratives with good and bad cliches, plot twists, humor and drama. You can play the whole stories completely solo and you don't even need to use the majority of the abilities you acquire through leveling. Frankly you can beat the game using only the basic attack you get at level 1 While player choices do not have big impact during the story for some classes (Jedi Knight comes to mind), other classes do get quite the variations including very different endings. That's why I really enjoy the Imperial Agent story which has big decisions already at the end of Chapter 1 and they change the narrative throughout the rest of the story, plus the Agent endings are the most diverse I believe. Well, listening to fem Hawke while playing the fem Agent could also have something to do with my love of the class. And since Jen Hale voices both the fem Trooper and Satele Shan, I have fun listening when those two characters interact. In my head it's a vision of fem Shepard meeting Bastila.

I heard the number 40 tossed about. That's too many and I have to say I'm not a swtor fan. I've about 12 and that's the limit I can go.

I have 9 (one of each class, then my insta-60 KOTFE sage who I treat as a new character). Beyond that I have clones of a few of them for redoing the stories. Total is only 15 or 16 I think, on Shadowlands. See them here.

I have between 12-15 on each of three different servers. (Shadowlands - Jedi Covenant - Ebon Hawk)
Most of them happened simply because I really like playing the class stories. Only really work on a couple of them.

That's too many and I have to say I'm not a swtor fan. I've about 12 and that's the limit I can go. I had a total of 32 characters on three servers in NA (I condensed to two before leaving iirc & I have never really played on shadowlands and Bastion, just transferred off fast) with most classes having geared mirrors with PvE and PVP augmented sets when I left, and two characters in Europe (the highest was l30 though in Eu). I considered it a modest legacy. Everyone I played with had far more. SWTOR sort of makes you into an altoholic. My main server was the good old Harbonger, but I did have a full Legacy on Hawk with two or three at 65 for PvP. ah, well, all gone now.

I could go further if I could unlock more toons but lately unlocks are pricey on gtn. For now I have 34 and one more spare boost from EA play...
Love the latest quality of life updates. Including using components to get 230 sets... weeee, grinding for it was a pain... now I have 1.5k components to spend on the rest incomplete sets

I'm new to playing SWTOR, does anyone have a suggestion for increasing the font size. I did adjust the Interface Editor and it helped but most things are still difficult to read. I tried changing my resolution as well and that didn't seem to help.
Edit: One other question, any suggestions on player etiquette? This is my first MMO and I'm playing it solo. When I run into someone else being hit by a mob, should I help or go about my business.

You can help if you want to, but no one would (should) be mad if you ignored their trouble... unless they asked for help first. The thing is, you can't steal kills. The one who starts the fight gets all the credit for it, even if someone interfers. So there is no reason whatsoever getting upset if someone is attacking the mobs you pulled.
