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

[rusty_shackleford]

how do I play this game I forgot

 

[rusty_shackleford]

stupid fucking hotbars reset, that's why I don't remember

 

[rusty_shackleford]

forgot how many abilities modern MMOs have, I hate ability bloat, might just wait for the xpac to land to play

 

[Faarbaute]

It's one of the things still holding me back aswell. I'll probably end up making a new character if I ever get around to it.

You know the Smuggler storyline? Pretty good

Smuggler was one of my favorite class stories in Chapter 1, but it’s one of the weakest overall, imo. It had a really strong start but chapter 2 and beyond it goes pretty retarded.

Last time I played (Feb 2021ish) you could get by with just 3 or 4 skills pretty easily. I am also waiting for the new class change thing to get back into it. That should spice things up quite a bit.

I have well over 40 skills(~70 if I include non-essential stuff I guess) hotkeyed

game also hitches pretty badly, kinda annoying

Is this the thing where the game would stutter as you were using certain abilites? Triggering a reset of animation and cooldown after a short delay?

nope, just frame stuttering a lot. Might be shaders compiling.

jedi talking to the alliance commander like they're a child just because they aren't a jedi is probably some of the dumbest shit btw
"oh durrr you shouldn't be here for OUR SUPER SEKRET TALK person who killed the strongest force sensitive person in the galaxy!!!!!"

the writers are bipolar with regards to non-force sensitive PCs

As a chad Jedi Guardian, I cannot relate but you have my condolences.

And maybe for hard mode stuff you’d need that, but seems like last time I played most stuff would go down quickly from a very simple rotation of a few skills.

there's literally nothing more chad than killing the strongest sith emperor in the galaxy with a blaster, sorry.

Except killing him with your fists.

Didn't say I did it, just that that'd be more badass. Thinking of the smuggler scoundrel's pugilist moves.

I played this pretty hard for about a year-ish after the original box launch and then dropped out of it before any of the expansions dropped. Kind of looking at it again now. But really, although I tried all the classes and paths, I only beat the original campaign on Jedi Guardian and then had some decent progress on several other classes.

chad Jedi

The magefaggery of Jedi cancels out all chadness, if any.

Preferred gets 5 and you don't have to spend much for that. Or sub for 1 month to get preferred status forever after the sub runs out + all the expacks to date.
SWTOR actually has (now) one of the less predatory models that I've seen. It used to be much more severe when they first went F2P. I think you still get monthly cartel coins for putting the authenticator on your account too.
It's funny, I actually lost access to my account for awhile due to the crappy customer service on the game when it first went F2P, because I had the authenticator app on a phone. I forgot about the app and changed phones and suddenly couldn't recover the account for years. Eventually I got it back and the monthly cartel coins had accrued for all the years my account was abandoned. So I came back to around $100 USD of free coins. Bought some races, character slots for most of the alts I made back in the day, and account wide inventory upgrades. I'm still sitting on a bunch because I wanted to wait and see if I actually play the game again since I might want to use them for something in particular instead of whatevers once I had a bunch of quality of life stuff set up.

Preferred

!= free.
thank you, you can go now.

Preferred is free forever after you drop $5. Might as well be free.

after you drop $5

Hey numbskull, the answer to that question was: “it can be, but paying a little bit of money will make it a more enjoyable experience.”

Reading comprehension is not your forte, huh?

It's 4 per server now, changed one or two years ago.
And you can buy more slots from the premium market, you get coins for finishing chapters with the different classes the first time and by enabling 2FA on your account.
