The Old Republic

[Carlie]

Once I finish my Smuggler's story, I'm switching back to the Shadowlands server. I'm sick and tired of this PvP one.

Wonder who they are. Vitiate stemmed all the way back from Marka Ragnos. Did Turak Hord found his own empire before doing the whole Sith thing?

Likely of interest to folks in this thread, KOTOR II just got a massive update.

KOTOR 2 was a valid game, and updating it to the modern day is not a bad move at all

Joe and I have been playing for the past month. They have special things going this week because of May 4th today. I'm gonna be playing if anyone wants to join, we're in the Shadowlands server and I have characters on both the Republic and Imperial side.

Btw since the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion the game is a lot better. Side quests are no longer necessary, you can level up just fine with story quests and flashpoints.

^Man I didn't realize anyone played Swtor here.

So I have a account with a considerable amount of progress, and my main is a trooper healer. I haven't been able to access my account due to a email switch.

It sucks because I bought the Revan DLC, and never even played through it.

So I got access to my account earlier today.
After a staggering 9 hours of downloading the game I played it for a few hours.


There was a lot of stuff that has been changed, I am really surprised.
Like-
The 4 original attributes=Mastery
Commendations=Data Crystals
Heroic Mission being changed almost completely
The leveling scaling going to lower leveled planets
Mission Markers changed
Speeder and Travel Improvements - Like if you have all 3 cool-down reductions of quick travel purchased, there is no longer a cool down for quick travel which is amazing!
The supply section of the Fleet sells mods going upto 60, and adaptive armour with open slots which is awesome.

Those where a few things I noticed.


I just still wonder how you are suppose to keep yourself geared going from 1-60... I have 3 more class stories to complete so maybe I'll figure it out.

Also I think they said everyone gets the Story XP bonus. Which is awesome.

The only thing is I need to be careful on who I activate, I'm limited to two characters.

 

[Carlie]

What's your name so I can add you the next time I play?

 

[Unit-01]

Well for anyone.

Skype - Sicarius VI

I have 6 accounts.
Pysiend - Commando Healer
(Renaming) - Low leveled Jedi Guardian
And I have 4 Sith classes I current forget the names too.

I play on The Harbinger server, but I should be able to switch over to others with no problem.

I'm currently getting my Jedi up, at Coruscant w/ level 18 and need to get done one more heroic and finished the Jedi story line.

The changes to the heroics is awesome. Also the changes to the companions like T3 being a healer is amazing. I soloed all the heroics I have done so far.

Now I just need to choose what set of adaptive armor I'm going to stick with... choices are hard.

Edit- I didn't realize that my Jedi Guardian name was soo close to that word.... I'm gonna either delete that account or find a way to change that name.

There really needs to be a full-length movie made like this.

 

[Carlie]

I really need to get back to playing, haven't done Fallen Empire yet.

 

[Unit-01]

This makes me wish they just made a KOTOR 3.

I've been playing this game quite a bit in the last week. On chapter 2 of my smuggler and chapter 1 of my Jedi Consular. Also started a Vanguard because of slight nostalgia when I first started playing the game.

I've subbed, and made a Jedi Sage level 60 and I'm really loving the expansions. Also of which Knights of the Eternal Throne is out. And the ending is great, I won't spoil it for anyone, but Update 5.0 is out.

-If anyone is interested in playing I'm on the harbinger server. Just PM me I guess if you want to work something out.


As for other updates to in 5.0 there were a lot of Quality of Life improvements that I really think help the earlier parts of the game.

The HUD’s main menu bar has been refactored into a much more compact pulldown bar, allowing us to add new systems and content without filling up your screen, and giving you more room to dock quickbars and other HUD elements along the top of the screen.

Expertise has been removed from the game. All items that previously had Expertise no longer have it. No other changes were made to the items other than the removal of Expertise.

Expertise Color Crystals have been converted to Mastery Color Crystals.

Unassembled Gear Tokens now have an equivalent credit value to a purchased item of that rating, allowing them to be sold to a vendor.

The following currencies have been removed from the game. These currencies no longer drop, and it is no longer possible to acquire them. In addition, these currencies that are in a character possession will be removed, and exchanged for credits at the below rates. Characters will accumulate these credits up to a cap of 2,000,000 credits.
Common Data Crystals 1:500
Glowing Data Crystals 1:1000
Radiant Data Crystals 1:1500
Warzone Commendations 1:50
Season 6 Commendations 1:50

Players now choose their Advanced Class at Character Creation, beginning their SWTOR adventures as an Advanced Class from Level 1. Ability grants for the Level 1-10 experience have been adjusted to familiarize players with fantasy-defining abilities early.

All four Origin planets have been re-itemized to support Advanced Characters starting at Level 1.

Utilities are now divided into four Tiers (Skillful, Masterful, Heroic, and Legendary). Eight Utility points are granted along the path to level 70.

One that is constant for all classes. Any toggle mode like "Plasma Cell" or "Juyo Form" are now just Passive abilities.


Regardless there were a ton of changes that I really feel help the game.
