Yep, that's a fantastic deal. I've been selling them for 28m.

Still sitting on 2x gold armor packs that I'm trying to dump for 8-10 mil each, but no one is biting so far. Figure I can wait the long wait since no one else seems to be selling and they are embargoed. I'm tempted to open them, but I know I'd just get some trash set worth 500k lol.

And a level 60 token to share with a friend, as well as access to the first chapter of KOTFE. Kinda neat, since I'm trying to get a friend to play this, and that might be enough to get him in.

According to leaks from the PTS build, megaservers are coming with separate PVP and PVE instances. Not sure how it will work with the 3 geographical server farm locations but it's about time. Was on primetime AUSPAC time a couple of days ago and there was <70 on pub fleet on Harbinger.

Excited that we're finally getting something done about this. I wonder how they're going to handle names though.

Thanks! A question, how can i go about getting the monthly newsletter that comes with the extra cartel coins?

Missed the window. It was a one-time subscriber bonus.
You'll still be able to get the HK helmet though.
So I toyed a bit with PVP both war zone and starfighter. As a Trooper at level 42 I didn't think I could do much, but I really want those achievments. It's pretty much impossible for those MVP achievements isn't it?
Still kind of had fun, though I don't stand a chance in 4 on 4.
Is it pretty much a requirement to be a Jedi or sith to hold my own?

well in starfighter your level and class don't matter at all and in warzones I never felt that the force classes would be a lot better than the others, so no.

While I haven't played since the Fallen Empire overhaul, this has never been true in the past. All classes have been OP at one time or another, but overall you can perform well in PvP with any class. You likely got destroyed because you're only level 42 and new at the game.
Thank you. I will continue and see how my skills improve.

hey guys, I'm thinking about resubbing but I have a question. I remember they did the 12x XP thing so you could skip all of the shitty sidequests, and I'm reading that they did some sort of 'streamlined' leveling since KOTFE came out, do I still have to do tons of sidequests to be the proper level or is it more like the 12xp days? Thanks
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
It's not quite 12x where you only had to do your class quest but it's close. If you're just questing you only need to do your class quests and the main planet story arcs.

Sweet man thanks. Gonna let it DL overnight and try my hand tomorrow. Any tips on fun healing classes? I've tried low level Scoundrel and Commando before, are they both in good places? PVE wise*
So today, with much hesitation, I opted to join in on one the Taris World Bosses with a group (Commando Combat Medic). I advised everyone I was a rookie at it but would focus on heals. We completed it and everyone was very nice (no one was incapacitated).
In addition last night some random player wanted to Group with me to do missions (I did, again with hesitation). We had a great time.
For someone who is mostly solo in MMORPG's because I always worry about letting a group/team down, the experiences of this weekend have been awesome and kind and have made me more open to Grouping again in the future.
A side note though - is there a quick way to find a location of a player I'm grouped with if they are in another part of the map/planet? Took me a little bit to meet up again with the person I was grouping with.

As soon as i get my 3DS back im gunna go crazy on those fire emblem games.
I just finished story on my first toon yay (sith inquisitor)! Before i move on to the next chapter i wonder if anyone could recommend me a good sink of my common data crystals? I'm nearly at max and need to spend some or else the next few quests will push them over.
Scouring the net I've seen several people recommend the following:
Alliance Boxes (where the hell do i get these and what do they contain)
Level 65 Equipment (not 65 yet)
Companion Gifts (Ugh the companion system irks me because i have 25 influence with khem'val because i got him first and like 7-8 influence with the rest because i got them so late in the story. So this may be an option because i really like ashara but i am pure dark)
Any help would be greatly welcome.

So there will be no new alliance alert for an additional companion for this month's chapter besides Aric Jorgan.Eric Musco said:

So the new chapter was okay... felt really short though. It was kinda worth it for the hilarious super serious cinematic intros to Aric where it bugged and he had nothing on but boxer briefs, but I think I will wait for the rest of the chapters to accumulate and cancel my sub for now. There just isn't enough to keep me interested. If I knew that building up rep for the four contacts in Odessen was going to be worthwhile for story content or something then maybe I'd do a bit of that, but it doesn't seem like there is.

Yeah this new chapter was a bit of a disappointment. Next one looks a bit intriguing though.

Man KOTFE feels so much more correct as a sith warrior.
Like it almost feels as if this is who it was written for originally.
Like it almost feels as if this is who it was written for originally.
I'm interested into getting into the game and want to know a few things.
1. Each character seems to have a special storyline. Do these continue on into the expansions? Or do they all start to merge, where its only worth while to maybe do a Rebel or Imperial.
2. I'm mostly focused on just experiencing the story. So I'll probably play through most of the characters and move on from there. Should I get the game time right away or wait on it? Since I do believe the expansions are things I still need to pay for. Right now, I'm thinking of just playing through the OG story lines, then getting the game for summer.
Basically, I'm trying to align it where I can finish the latest expansion with my gametime so once Fallen Empire is complete. Or is it already?

you got that right, they start to merge.
up until level 50, every class has its own storyline, it is pretty much finished, though.
in the first expansion, rise of the hutt cartel, there is one story for imperial and 1 for the republic.
in the second expansion, shadow of revan, both imperials and republic get the same story, but there is 1 single story quest exclusive to each class
and in the third expansion, knights of the fallen empire, every player gets the same story, however it has a bigger focus on story and cutscenes and there are more choices and consequences
So I'm thinking I'll probably just play for free to go through the class stories, then eventually settle on one character, pay for a few months to do Hutt Cartel, Revan, and Fallen Empire. Good idea?
Or does paying to play make it easier to complete the stories too?

I would pay 5 bucks for preferred status (just but some cartel coins and it will activate preferred) for all the convenience perks. Also if you sub for a month and cancel you get access to all expansions forever even if your sub lapses.
I normally play through the class stories when I dont wanna sub, hell i have done 6/8 of the class stories that way.

So patch 4.3 has some interesting new features.
Some of note:
Some really handy guild features, too.
I really like that Bioware is actually trying to make gearing easier, with the DMC purchasing thing. I've got tons of comms across all my character since comm gear is shit, so this is greatly appreciated.

So from recent dev post/letter, it sounds like a whole new storyline will be done after this one finishes. Guess another big expansion launch or they will just keep going with monthly chapters that continue it?
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Sounds to me like they have another story arc planned.
If my understanding is correct, they are basically breaking things down into something like seasons. So KOTFE is Season 1 and next year we'll get Season 2.

Think they said this has been their most successful "expansion" launch so far. I assume they lot a bunch of people while also gaining back a bunch and maybe some new ones. Alot of the die hard mmo crowd and raiders left, the more casual crowd came for story, etc.
Moff
Member
good for them, I hope they stay successful then. I definitely don't mind playing through the new stories once a year or so

I'm someone who played for 2-3 months when the game launched, but left after that. I tried to get back in when it went f2p, but it didn't click. However, I plan to get back in with a sub now, and do the story and new content solo (and maybe team up a few times with others).
I know some hardcore MMO players don't like the pro-solo pve direction the game has taken (apparently), but it's the exact sort of thing that has drawn me back in. I love the lore and the environment and the story...just not the usual MMO grind.

Soooo I was really hoping that today in honor of May the 4th, the Amazon Bundle would go on sale for 29.99 like it did last year. But it looks like that is not happening.

I'm kinda wanting to milk that double XP, but at the same time, I don't really need to. I already have SO many level 65s.
Maybe I'll build some characters up on other servers or something...

Ooooh 2 chapters next month should be great, after that we've only got 1 more right?
KOTFE is supposed to be 16 chapters long or 18?
Also I hate leveling characters through SoR, the solo flash points take sooo longg.
I swear because of that I never get anything outside my main and my main alt to 65.
