vandalism posted:I bought this game at release and was super disappointed; so much so that I got my game refunded. Now that it's free and seems better, I think I may try it again. Do lots of people still play? Will the leveling up areas be barren wastelands? Can I reasonably level through pvp? Can I kill ewoks? 1) Yes, especially since the release of Makeb. 2) No they won't, there is usually a healthy amount of people re-rolling. 3) Of course. Fake edit: oh wait they may have been sand people you mindlessly slaughter. I know ewoks are at least in the game. Real edit: it will be frustrating to not be a subscriber for you if that's what you remember and you don't have at least one character at 50. Credits will be a pain and exp drags on way slower.

Tezzeract posted:It's a lot of fun, because you're going to be doing the dailies with a group. Unlocking access to the Gree Mothership was pretty neat - it's a rep grind, but it was an enjoyable one. Lets not forget main hand legacy weapons! Woohoo! That's also a huge pull for the Gree event because it allows you to move unneeded or unusable 69's and 72's to the right character via a legacy mainhand. There is no other one of these available (that I know of) in the game.

Reveilled posted:Yeah, I'd probably do the same but I've noticed that PvP queues during the week on my server really drop off about 11pm, so if I'm playing after that it's wait 5-10 minutes for a Warzone or go do quests. Which is a shame because I really love PvP healing and it's pretty much the only thing I like doing in groups in MMOs. Why not queue for warzone and run missions until you level to where you want then cut bait and just to class whenever (or however) you hit the magic number for the planet.

Hakarne posted:So I thought I'd come back and check out the game again. I left right before they went F2P, and holy poo poo their model is insulting. I should have known coming back to this game would be painful when the first thing I see after logging in is a loving table showing the 20+ variations between a paying and preferred account. I logged back in on my agent and saw he had his headgear showing, and the option to hide it is disabled until I get a subscription? I mean all that to say this issue was early adopters of the game who played left them searching for a new business model when they all peaced. As for their business model agree or not its working hella well, it has raised their revenue on this game immensely. Not to mention the huge increase in players, and there are rising sub numbers to since. To address your question though, they will screw you to your last dime without a sub. It's only really ok if you don't play WZ and FP's much. If you have a level 50 you can largely make credits and pay for the upgrades you need, but it will be a grind, and isn't all that fun. Edit: it's like 9 million people posted before I finished mine. Geez. Also, I understand some of your grievances and I can't go as hard on this dude because he bought the game.

tallian posted:Bioware isn't putting them on the GTN, pubbies are. They Archonex posted:Do they just port over cash like how they sound like they work, or do they actually increase your cap? They just port over they aren't a forever increase. But relative to their CC cost they are super cheap 5k for the cheapest on my server I believe. Barely anything for an F2P player who subbed once and can run dailies on X, Makeb, and Black Hole once per diem. I really think the escrow thing has worked out great so far. Also they are so cheap often players on my server will toss an ask out for someone to buy one on fleet in exchange for coin and it's never a problem. Not is it for F2P players in a guild, but then again nothing was ever really hard for them since you can buy crew skill unlocks, X access and other things through guild members who then just get reimbursed over time.

My favourite is going in as my 72 aug'd out maurauder to just complete the drat quests, then running into assholes who try to stop you and calling in all my guildies to ruin their day and control the whole area for the Empire. It's made especially hilarious when you make a raid group of 72's and spreading out across the area and not letting anyone from the other side kill any low level troopers for the initial part. That being said I only do this when I have been attacked while minding my own business.

Yes its content but its content subscribers had to pay for. What is the $15 a month people who have been subbed since February getting them exactly? $5/month in cartel coins. Ah that makes sense I've been a sub for 6 or so months now and I always just assumed it was for all the character slots, credit cap, etc. Makes sense though I definitely understand the grievance.

Promethium posted:Watchman sentinels have more buildup time, you have to put up all your debuffs and build your Merciless/Juyo stacks while the gunslingers are opening up right away with their heavy damage abilities. In the long run sentinels are still very good. That being said, most of the endgame sentinels/marauders I've seen are running Combat/Carnage and it is probably the better dps spec for now, though it's harder to play properly. I'm spec'd up carnage and am mostly 69's with a spatter of 72's with augments and it's pretty fantastic DPS when parsed and just from what I've seen. The rotation can be a bit tricky and you really need to manage your rage stacks so that you ensure crits and get your towering rage buffs, but if you can do it it's pretty awesome. I tend to rotate with charge then battering assault to start with a hit or two to max out rage then cycle into gore (which largely gets put on cd as your often tossed a free one) then massacre for my buff with ravage quickly jumping to force scream (triggering buff from massacre), free saber throw, double saber throw if your feeling extra saucy as well. Also that free Saber throw is just lovely. Cloak of pain and predation on cd with camo for de-agg. Relics as well usually for +330 power and surge. If you toss in choke in Heroic 4's with friends and FP's (though its largely useless in Ops) it's a great way to build that little bit of rage needed to full pop and toss in an extra massacre. Then rinse and repeat. Again it's a bit of a bitch to get used to but once you do, if your able to get good at positioning yourself accordingly you'll be loving it! I promise you that. Fake edit: don't forget about good ole Bloodthirst (or whatever the Jedi version is) Tldr: basically keep rage up and rotate between massacre, ravage when you can, and scream.

I mean, I don't know if I was thinking about it all the same way as you guys but I never really imagined bringing everyone over. I always thought it was just nice to be able to transfer my legacy unlocks and one or two characters over to the Goon server while my mains and whatnot stayed with my main raid team. More interesting though is what this will do to the economy. Can money come with me? Items? Mats and comms? If so I see prices declining sharply on PvP servers or servers that have heightened demand and minimal supply. Also what about legacy gear, flipping it all to a new server could allow for so many options in terms of powering yourself up quickly in a brand new environment.

Strategy posted:I'm confused on the cartel visual armor, I want to get the Sanctified Caretaker armor set for my Sith warrior, can I pull the mods out of green gear and use that or do I have to buy mods with Planetary Commendations? You can only pull from orange and purple gear. You will be gimping yourself if you use it with nothing inside (I am assuming by mods you are including armouring and enhancements). Use green gear until you can at least toss basic mods, enhancements and armouring into your orange stuff. Edit: what server are you on; we are goon, and we can help.

Red Crown posted:Every company that has ever made an MMO has drastically underestimated how hard they are to create and maintain. Even WoW, the most successful - the Thunderdome Champ of MMOs - took years and years to implement server transfers. Frankly, I'm impressed SWTOR is what it is right now. But it blows my mind none of that information and precedent is considered in release announcements. Also, was WoW the first major MMO to do it? I would expect trailblazers to take a long time and misrepresent the timeline by accident, but usually companies don't actually announce things and the specific release date until they know they can deliver. It tanks the investors trust in potential future announcements. Anyway, I'm just saying, I love SWTOR but they aren't trailblazing this, maybe a few past implementing personnel in past similar circumstances would have been a good hire before getting in on this stuff.

For me as long as they don't get in the way and 3 of us are very well geared I don't mind but it's things like wearing basically nothing with no mods that really boils my blood. There is no excuse anymore with the widespread proliferation of 61+ gear in SM FP's and all round sweet drops on Makeb. Even running dailies and weeklies will get you pretty well sorted in some cases. It's a real shame people don't put in the minimal effort needed to at least compete.

I guess they were in the crates that just got released so the market flooded a bit. My hope is that double XP weekends will increase demand for them for new alts. Race unlocks were also 60% off this week in a pack that included literally every single one, so I think a few people were buying them and marking them down in credits as well.

Note, though, that some of the earlier (I assume; at the end of the list anyway) armor pieces come with mods in them already, and those you can't claim from Collections (presumably to keep you from getting infinite mods ripped out of them). They are bind on equip and then you can pay cc to unlock for legacy in collections.
