1: Imperial Agent 2:Cyborg 3:Male 4:2 5:Heart of Gold Will you be asking the thread for actual looks and builds and maybe a few 'splits', or will you play the way you want after initial creation?

Essentially, Space James Bond. Also, involved in actual 'politics', not just Sith vs Jedi. And funny accent.

Zaodai posted:The worst part of it is that people latched on to it as the only point that made SWTOR a bad game. It happens to the degree that I wonder if it was some kind of emotional smoke screen. "SWTOR would have been good but they have that storyline that ends up in rape!". Perhaps I'm biased though, as I don't see what the big deal is within context. You're an Evil with a capital E warrior. You're Conan the Barbarian, on PCP, in space. It makes perfect sense that you'd rape/torture/emotionally and physically abuse someone. It doesn't make it a good thing, but it shouldn't be unexpected or shocking. Most people I talk with bad endgame content, lovely pvp, bad balance, copying from WoW, lovely graphics/animations, bad crafting and stupid Dark/Light choices in general. It takes weird priorities if some have an issue with one outcome of an optional 'romance' plotline before all that. Bad writing is a different problem all together of course

CommissarMega posted:I wish I could say the same, but I'm a sucker for RPGs, and considering it's free, welp Doing one Sith and one Republic Run (as long as you do not choose Consular) and the flashpoints is not bad.It's a decent RPG that way with a few co-op elements. Now as far as PVP, game balance or doing a new character and having to go through all that again goes, it is tedious.

Valor is also PVP related. Essentially, Valor determines what PVP gear you can buy/use, along with earning titles. Your valor level can only be as high as your own character level (a lv 10 character cannot get to valor lv20 ). The exception is when you hit lv50. Valor can go over that (and you raise it for the endgame PVP content). I think the cap is 100, I only reached like 70. In each PVP warzone, the one with the highest Valor becomes the 'leader' of the team. Bioware hosed up PVP rewards as well, not just the matchmaking which Zaodai covered, but that is a story for another time. JamMasterJim fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Sep 16, 2012 |

CommissarMega posted:Man, the Sith sound like they're a lot of fun, going around just choking and shocking everybody. What's so bad about their storylines, Vette notwithstanding? Inquisitor storyline is kinda late to pick up. The more interesting events happen on the later chapters. I will say however that the last few events are of the best on the game, along with Agent. Sith Warrior is kinda...predictable and not as satisfying. Still, if you enjoy kicking puppies, he gets the most opportunities out of everyone. Generally, agent is the best and Consular is the worst. The rest are decent with different pace and companions to cater to different tastes.

Ranged Tank simply means 'I use pistols and such and attract people to me' instead of ' I rush with melee weapons and have people focus on me' for the most part. Different skillset too, but the goal is the same.

CommissarMega posted:Are ranged tanks viable now, post 1.4? I'm planning to run with Aric as a Trooper, dude seems the best companion for my Republican fanatic character. For the single player content only, you should be fine. Just keep their equipment updated. Good builds with the proper companion can however even do heroic quests on their own(which was useful cause at times, there were no people to team up with)

So 1.4 rolled a few days ago. I kinda want to try the new operation, but I am not paying just for that. It was hard enough to find people for operations when people actually played the game though. I wonder if all of you actually manage one day to do one for this LP

MadDogMike posted:Would that make Atronie his Herald? Though it seems like mixing franchises with Darth "Why So Serious?" Zhorrid in-game. Space missions are like this: You are given a timer, some main goals and some side ones. The timer shows how much time you have before the mission naturally ends. Even if you have finished all your objectives, you need to stay alive till the end to finish the mission. The main goals are ones you must accomplish. Some need to be finished before time runs out (blow up 50 ships for example), while for the escort missions, you need to make sure the ship you escort does not get blown up. Side goals just give extra XP. If you fail at objectives or get blown up, you just waste time. Death in TOR damages your equipment (the more damaged and the higher the quality, the more it costs to repair it). Also, each death increase the timer till you 'resurrect'. From 10 s, to 30, to 2 mins, to 20 mins etc, unless someone ressurects you. You can always choose to teleport back to the nearest med station, which means you lose progress in your dungeon crawl or whatever and enemies are likely to respawn.

Zaodai posted:It blows up, dealing moderate damage to you and knocking you down. In the first week of the game, there were two control panels that triggered a quest(and a fight) in Tython. It took 20 secs for you to be able to interact again and you had to wait for the fight to finish as well. And you had hundreds waiting for it. Fun times.

SageNytell posted:And now rumors regarding the upcoming Star Wars Episode 7 may put it as set during the Old Republic timeframe. For those who've played this extensively, how badly is the setting trashed by this game? General terms only, I'm not looking for spoilers, but I have not heard good things and I'm not cheered by what we've seen thus far. Nothing worse than the novels or prequel movies ever done. Except for Revan, maybe

Zaodai posted:Bear in mind that everything you said was added well after the fact, presumably to help give you a reason to play different stuff and to play more characters. The First Flashpoint can work in theory for that. So boring though. And yeah, F2P where they do not even tell you 'subscribers pay less for this'. They have to phrase it as 'F2P players must pay more'. And having Taskbars, rewards and craft skills restricted is so stupid, it hurts.

To be fair, some things like the fleet pass, reviving teammates/companions, world travel, sprint (since it FINALLY stays on always) etc do not have to be in the quickbar and that saves some space)2 quickbars are still nowhere near enough). Also, Juggernauts can throw their saber. Rather useless though. I;d trade it for Droid Stun in a heartbeat.

Feinne posted:Okay so they just don't give you good threat tools, I was wondering from watching the videos if that was the case. Once again a sign of them not really looking at what works and is fun in other games when they're creating this. I can't imagine anything more frustrating or unfun than being a 'tank' spec and just having to sit there and watch while adds wail away at people and there's nothing you can do about it. There are technically bosses that have gimmicks and require extra attention regardless(in Flashpoints and OPS, aka raids) plus handling bigger groups sometimes require your attention. Especially on planet heroics, where there was a good chance a few months ago that with so few people on the servers you'd form an unoptimized team, you did not have the luxury of just standing there soaking damage and getting healed. Beating a boss with 4 tanks constantly switching aggro and hitting defense buffs was stupid, but fun. Still, the battle design of the game is mediocrity through and through

CzarChasm posted:I think the general idea is that no one would pick the Evil option every single time (because Bioware doesn't listen to comments and criticism often, and doesn't understand that yup, people do just that). So the evil choices are cartoonishly evil, but if you were to use them on every single choice you make, it would really grate on you. There's only so many times you can kick a puppy before the novelty wears off. But if you were to make only certain dark side choices, it can be pretty entertaining. Wouldn't technically one of the first sidequests on Hutta, where you can either send the child to Korriban and kill his father in front of him or let them escape count? Seems pretty direct. Not the same as THE WATER in Republic, but still sword_man.gif posted:The problem comes when you then reward behavior like this with items that require Light/Dark I-V with no prizes for being neutral. There were supposed to be 'rewards' for people who stay neutral, but they forgot about it

Jedi counterparts less likely, cause no healer companion at that point. Healer+Tank combo in general does not plow through solo game fast, but it's drat hard to die. With proper CC, even some Heroic 4s at your level are possible (as long as they do not have a final boss battle usually)
