Star Wars: The Old Republic

[keg in kc]

Don't believe there's a dedicated thread, and since they're starting to release information now, I figure it's time for one.

I mainly want Social V for the Mystic get-up on Voss.

As for the social points, I have pretty much leveled with my wife and am almost T6 social. The advantage is that different social vendors sell stuff that you must be at least a X social level to use. Nar'Shadda for instance sells an orange bikini that my wife has her BH and Mako running around in. You only need to be Social II to use that. And Alderaan had a cool little royal outfit that I put my companion Ashara in while she still has the invisible bug.

And Keg (and anyone else) should you roll on Space Slug and are Imperial, Wookiee Crisps is available too if desired. I'm actually in the process of setting up our first trial raid in about 2 weeks. And after that we will be going into our full blown raid schedule.

Yeah, grouping for all quests seems kind of ridiculous to me and I don't have someone who always play with me and be on the same time as me and on the same quests as me.

90% of my social points came from all the FPs I ran and I haven't ranked up yet.

I kind of wish I had somebody to duo with for the quests, just for the social points. But at the same time, I think it would quickly drive me crazy to have to lug somebody else around.

Social point-wise, I think the Esseles is really the only fp with significant points. The rest of them seem more action and less talk.

Also, I'm a little tired of seeing random ass green bars shooting out from places in Republic outposts. How about a node showing up on the map, the minimap and the world only for you to get to it and see that you can't harvest. YAY! These are just the issues I have personally experienced.

I still give this game like a 93/100 rating, but jeez, fix my combat FFS!

This. Really frustrating as melee class.
I was doing a Flashpoint yesterday with my Jedi Guardian, and got about 90% of the way through. On the second to last boss, our group approached him and I did my force leap to take on the Boss. Well, as soon as I hit the boss with force leap, I hit a major bug where I got transported to some circle room. Could not do anything to get out. /stuck didnt work, could not quick travel. In short, had to completely reset the instance. Pissed me off.

I also see those green things throughout the game and I am always like, WTF...

Hopefully, 1.1 fixes A LOT of these issues because there really is a ton of bugs...


One feature I would LOVE to see Bioware implement is the ability to put waypoints on the map. I love that feature in Rift. When you are in a group, it works for the entire group. Someone marks a spot, everyone heads that direction. Just great for marking stuff...Please please!

How do you like your guardian?

I'll tell you what's currently driving me crazy: the reverse engineering rate on level 49 items.

Took me like 20 Might Hilt disassembles last night to get the blue Might Hilt 16. Used to be like 5 max. I thought it was just an unlucky patch but I guess I have more good times to look forward too, huh?

I'm having a terrible time. 'course I'm going for artifact level stuff, which means I have to go green to blue then blue to purple. I have the level 47 artifact green crit color crystal and the level 49 artifact battle enhancement but I'm still working on the level 49 artifact resolve hilt, the level 49 artifact mettle mod, the level 49 artifact resolve armoring, and I haven't even gotten the blue recipes yet for the ear piece and focus that I want to use.

I just failed on 15 (blue) REs in a row on various items between my artificer and my cybertech.

And this is just for the gear that I'll use on my sage. Which will of course eventually be replaced by commendation gear.

I think I'm just going to stick with blues in crafting and get my purps from comms.

I'm only doing it for the highest level stuff. Since I can't currently do any grouping, it's the best I'm able to get.

Only level 15, but so far, I like it a lot. I wanted to be able to multiple roles (I think Rift spoiled me in that regards). I can tank and DPS.

Just started o test "Guard", but really cool. It is a lot of fun to play.


The other class that I have been having a blast playing is the Imperial Agent. I think it has the best storyline so far. I went Operative with the IA. Its awesome.

I played an Agent in beta, that story is great.

I am not, but I am going to roll a character up here.
I was on a PvP server as I like what it brings, but a friend pointed out that as long as you flag yourself, open world PvP is just as possible as well on a PvE server.

This weekend, planning on rolling up my Jedia Guardian on Space Slug...
