Star Wars: The Old Republic will kill WoW - outsourced to Broadsword

[Commissar Draco]

Anybody played the new Rakghul event? and Yes I can see that those higher level gear look very nice, you can miss and match to get nicer look than this overpriced junk sold for cartel coins, still for agent Vendetta armor is the best one though, Got to level 40 with Merc, now will do the same for Trooper, SW and Agent.

I haven't done operations. I did one story mode uprising because they barely ever pop. It was …weird.

Uprisings! That's the name. For me they were so meh I had forgotten it. And I meant a Flashpoints vs Uprisings comparison. What do you mean by weird?

As far as Operations go, go for it. Storymode Ops are easier than Master Hardmode FPs, for the most part, and remain the best content in the game. Of course a larger group translates to a larger chance of running into morons, but trying to deal with their mess can be fun too.

And that's why I never even bothered to queue for group stuff in SWTOR. Wasted enough hours of my life ending in angry tantrums.

"But.. but when I stand close I get pushed around, stunned and whatnot. Dealing zero dmg! So I play it smart and use hammer shot from a distance. That's how you play a vanguard!"

 

[Bliblablubb]

is sith assassin the best class ever?

Commando.
[...]
the DPS sage tanked the boss for the rest of the fight.

Mmmmmm, I wonder how a commando, "the bestestest class ever" would have fared... yeaaah, he would need an even bigger gun to overcompensate for that humilation after the fight.

Poor, poor Elder Thing! Here, have some ice cream

Anyway, if you are at all interested in operations despite the above experiences, I recommend parking a character or two in a big social guild (back in my day Stroke my Wookie was largest EU impside). They tend to run premade groups for operations in order to win conquests, tend to be patient with guildmates and educate them, and usually have a couple of people on voice chat to coordinate the raid better. It can be good fun.

I think they still are, they are everywhere and spam the shit out of guild invites if they spot unaffiliated players entering the fleet. I dubbed them "the pokemon fleet", gotta collect them all.

Maybe not everyone, my booty hunter had leg flair and some fancy title, so I might have passed their very low expectashuns.

 

[Storyfag]

Well, they are one of the mass-member guilds geared only towards winning the conquest of whichever planet they deem fit. But as a side effect, they tend to be a helpful community.

I get about half of the conquest points of my entire guild

I joined smaller guilds the Undying Empire for my dark side toons and Titans for light side, got XP boost and help if needed but I am more oriented onto playing story lines first, then maybe will join the group activities as the voting of lines leads to hilarious moments and doing flashpoints together is fun but I also like to play slow and not rush quests too quickly, use speeder instead of this horrible instant teleporter tool and so on Comrades. For many pro players its like another job and rush throu the content which is OK but not for me. Played some missions onto Rakghul outbrake event but sadly my Hunter is barely able to cope and my another 40 level tool would be overrun by those mobs outside space port alone Corellia is really big difficulty spike after Naar Shada.

 

[Storyfag]

Corellia is really big difficulty spike after Naar Shada.

Tough luck. The Rakghoul event rotates between 3 planets. Both Alderaan and Tatooine would have been much more palatable to low level chars.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

if not for the literally immortal officer who kills me in 3-4 hits, i didn't find any difficulty spike with rakghouls. or ever at all in the whole game. everything is just so easy... you set the companion, any of them, on heal and you're good to go. a real shame. i still have extremely fond memories of those low level flying-brainy-mesmer-thingies in guild wars which could utterly rape any unprepared group. any. or that magicbox boss who just raped anyone regardless.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Its All right Comrade its not like I really need those prizes or something, on plus side played a bit more with my Agent and aside from superb quests and choices found this in one of the random Heroic mission loot:

Imperial agent the best class so far:

Bounty hunter I just ask for more credits + do bounties in way client asks = Mako mostly happy so you make credits and deliver cool speech lines with southern accent, really easy and quite mindless fun kicking around and burning people and xenos to crisp.

Sith Warrior I am just angry all time and firmly believer in superiority of both his Sith blood and faith but also true Aristocrat and Warrior too so brave people like Old warrior got their chance to die as warriors and so on, he doesnt like Jedi, fools and people who don't have balls.

Trooper is just good goy who loves Republic Army, Republic, hot Republican beaches and cold bear, what he doesn't like much are Imps, faggots who run from line of duty and worst of them all Republican senators unless they do have nice pair of tits.

So only need to use my brain when playing as agent obviously cause its hard to do good to Empire and not make Sith too(Got executed for refusing to kneel before Darth J) . Also like how there are no good and bad guys in this game as I met Jedi assholes and Sith bros.

 

[Storyfag]

Got executed for refusing to kneel before Darth J

This is the peak of the game. Should have been used much more often, and for all classes.

Vette and Risha both imply they knew each other/were close friends when they were younger without explicitly naming each other

i got one on my agent, i shouldn't have sold it yet, when i get back home, if i remember, i'll try to check its name.

AFAIK all the cool looking imp longcoats (like the one from the fleet vendor) change model to those lifevests when worn by pubs. Pretty hillarious since the game likes to bug out on imp side and displays companions with the pub model in cutscenes. Kalyo secretly likes to wear blue vests I guess. And Ashara wears something like a wedding gown.

Best you can do outside cartel stuff would be the coat model with the yuge collar, like the blackguard set from the fleet vendor. Or drop variants of it.

Yes, they grew up together. But the game never follows up on it, even if you are a smuggler and can have both of them in your team.

Noted this bug too very annoying Comrade, also banged another twillek as agent to get the info about terrorist scum, Kayla approved the pale Minx, must say I did not liked her at start but she warm up on you when you know her better and my agent wanted to BLAAM her, she really lives only cause of Keeper.
P.S Cat is not that bad too I will promote him to Lieutenancy when my Storm Trooper will get his fourth star, he also loves Republic but hate Senate wish we could make some coup de etat in game and build new republic led by soldiers-bros.
