One thing I've noticed coming back to this game from WoW is buttons, I have lots of them. Are pretty much all abilities useful or are their some that you don't even really need to keep on your action bars? I haven't had any issues facerolling quests yet, but in pvp especially I feel like it would be great for me to have some kind of basic dps rotation.

You definitely don't need to use all the buttons, some are used in one spec but not others. Or they're used only in PvP (roots and slows). What class and discipline are you using?

Arsenal is a really easy one to learn and has minimal button presses. You won't be using things like Explosive Dart or Fusion Missile in your rotation, for example, where Innovative Ordinance does use those two to spread DoTs.

I just switched from defense guardian to vigilance and the first thing I did was clear my bars and look at a guide for the rotation and then added some stuff like rocket boots and fleet pass. Cut the buttons down about 40%. Nice to kill things so quickly too.

So do I just suck or is spirit of vengeance solo mode just way over tuned? My companion can't keep up healing if there's more than like 4 silver mobs attacking. Also everyone is just a bucket of hp so combat takes forever. I really just hope I'm doing something wrong though.

Yeah, there were a slew of fixes for it scheduled for the patch last week, but it got delayed due to the hellstorm in Texas.

Has there been any news on rescheduling that yet? I certainly don't fault them for the delay with that mess, but I'm admittedly curious when we'll see the patch as well.

Not yet. It even messed up their event schedule, was supposed to be Bounty Week but it's Gree. In other news, Anthem Next is cancelled, but SWTOR got a shout out for being alive!

My first character picked up a bunch of orange drop stuff that I held onto "because" and I've started to look at using it on newer characters. I've realised that I've gotten into a loop of checking the prices on GTN, realising that it's 80mil for a pistol, considering hanging onto it to sell next time I sub, and then going "the only reason I want credits is to buy cool cosmetics anyway and this is one". It's weird.

That raises an interesting question. I've had this account since beta and it's mostly been sitting unused. Are there any old things in particular that I should check my inventory for that is worth a lot?

Anything that used to be orange, but is now blue. Check the price on GTN and prepare to be amazed/ingly disappointed.

So I've been in a Star Wars mood and on a whim downloaded this game again. I bought the CE when it came out and played to level 55-60ish a number of years ago (maybe 5?). Looks like I have 11000 or so cartel coins for some reason. Any recommendations on how to spend them? I'll probably just start a new character from scratch since I have no idea how to play my older characters. I'm thinking gunslinger smuggler, or maybe jedi guardian or sith juggernaut.

I started the War on Iokath story and immediately had to choose between Republic or Empire and sat there for 10mins before hitting ESC and logging out. Curse you choice paralysis. How much does this choice matter?

Not at all. You can pick again every day IIRC.

For Iokath - Imperial - Kill Jace Malcolm and recruit Quinn as a companion. Republic - Kill Acina and recruit Elara Dorne as a companion.

Note: if you're a Sith Warrior, you can get both companions if you side with the Republic - Quinn will betray the Empire for you.

I gotta do that one with my Sith Warrior just so I can finally kill Quinn. It may be petty but I'm willing to accept that about myself.

The nice thing is you can do Iokath without starting KOTFE, so characters that you don't want to auto complete your class story on but still want to run Iokath can. It's a bit bizarre because it ASSUMES you did KOTFE for the story, but still doable.

Yikes. The new Character Sheet UI with Amplifiers is rough....and it sounds like feedback was entirely negative on the PTS.  Not good that they ask for feedback and then don't follow it...or at least post why they did what they did. But overall a great patch with some really cool tweaks

It does, but it comes back once you head back to the screen with the actual items you have on. Stupid decision entirely TBH.

Yeah it's a bad one. Most people don't care about amplifiers, so I suppose it's their attempt to get people to buy into the credit sink. Props to them for the thought, since we need more credit sinks, but it just failed in execution. I actually do care about amplifiers, but I wouldn't roll them from that screen - I roll from the item itself to make sure I'm doing the right one.

Not having played all that much in the past year or two, and with that not having really bothered with amplifiers, I actually appreciate having this clear overview of all bonuses. I do agree that the window is rather oversized as a result, though, and that you should be able to just hide the amplifier list. It's not something I find overly bothersome, however.

The biggest issue I have with the list isn't really new, it's that it's not very clear which amplifiers are on each item - so if you pull up the list and see a sub-optimal one, it could be something in your inventory, not something equipped. That said, I think I win.

Wow, look at this peasant with a green amplifier. I mentioned it in discord but that new opulent skiff is actually boardable when placed as a decoration, with the control for the door/shielding interactable inside.

Ok so I reactivated me account but a few things confuse me. Is companion gear now just for looks? Do I lose my companions at some point? I resubbed and can make a high level character with a token or something. I've read this is bad to do as it skips the story and titles and such. Is this true? Anything really cool I should consider buying in the cartel market either for me or for resale? I have like 10k for some reason (looks like years of having a security token mostly). I've read that crafting skills have changed quite a bit, but at the surface it seems the same. Are crafting skills worth bothering with?
