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

[Storyfag]

Is Darth Marr also viable for Sith Warrior?

Marr is a background character, he becomes your main questgiver in the later expansions.

i played the bounty hunter up to end of tatooine, agent to level 39 and inquisitor to start of hoth, and i found the agent very underwhelming. "go there, be an errand boy for whoever asks for, be told you totally changed everything and watch how you totally changed nothing". same for the inquisitor, "here, have some apprentices to manage, but lo and behold, you actually can't", because in the end whoever you're playing he's a thug. he's mechanically a thug and can't be anything else. at least the bounty hunter *is* a thug so it's fitting and maintains the suspension of disbelief.

 

[Storyfag]

Show me a game working differently.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

for changing world? frigging guild wars 2.
for minion training? star trek shits all over this in multiple ways and directions again and again.

Thought I was starting to regret subscribing. Rise of the Hutt cartel was very meh, shadow of revan also. Kotfe is extremely good, don't regret it a bit now.

Spoiler

I think including Revan in the game only hurts the story(and they realized this, too.) He should stay a legend.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Word of warning if any of you are new: kotfe will autocomplete all class/main planet quests(purple)/prior main quests when you begin it if you have not done them yet. It will warn you.

Very story heavy, I'd estimate I watched about 2 hours of conversation/cutscenes so far.

Oh, and it has three difficulty options, each of the 14(?) chapters can be replayed individually.

Just enjoy the story and raids Comrade, the game does feels to be streamlined a bit (Dark and light points, influence added after every quest, companions not needing equipment etc..) but its still fun romp dunno if I am going to sub after those two months though I tried to play as light sided classes but they are either vanilla being (((Jedi))) story for Knight, Political intrigue which is not that interesting compared to what you could do in KOTOR for Consular 2 and CoD as Trooper... Ah Smugler is supposed to be fun but I am not much in role-playing small time le merchants who will dance on (((Jedi))) leash anyways later on.

W H A T?

I... I don't even.

 

[Commissar Draco]

The closest you can get to Grand Admiral Thrawn in this game:

I had no idea that game is so huge, I am barely out of DK after playing with only three story lines (I did every quest I could find though) after week or heavy playing by this time I already finished Outer Worlds.

 

[Storyfag]

There are more fitting naval uniforms. But they cost a bunch.

And yeah, the game is extremely huge. DK is small in size as planets go, I would say. Balmorra is medium. Then you get the huge stuff: Nar Shadda, Tatooine, Alderaan. Back to medium for a moment with Taris and back to small with Quesh. Then it's huge again: Hoth, Belsavis, Voss and Corellia. And that sums up the base storyline.

Kotfe is extremely good

KOTFE is ... kinda sorta good, at least when you play it for the first time. Bonus points if you really like the companions who's chapter you play. I don't like Catman or the edgy Mandalorian, so those rank pretty low for me. Plus, you get to play them all at once, they were originally released one-per-month for subbers. My last one was Catman, because it was accidently released for everyone, and I didn't regret unsubbing. Boy is that mission bad.

KOTET on the other hand is... walker mission, something, walker mission, something... let's just say I skipped KOTET on most chars.

And yeah, the game is extremely yuge

Hoth and Voss can give you such a burnout from all that driving around. Soooo much padding to keep people subscribed.

There are more fitting naval uniforms. But they cost a bunch.

That's why I tell everyone to keep the fucking drops/quest rewards. You can't get half of the good looking ones without paying top dorrar anymore thanks to stupid level scaling. Outlander armor on Korriban? Sure, why not...
If I manage to make a screenshot, cut it and upload it somewhere, I'll show a real Thrawn worthy outfit.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Imagine her blue. And male. And older. Pretty Thrawny if you ask me. For zero dorrars.

chapter 12 spoilers

Spoiler

basically told chubs and dead darth to stuff their stupid hocus pocus force shit up their ass because they already lost.
I guess it's probably a dumb chapter for non-force users if you go any other way.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The new conversation screen is much better, btw.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

wow what
you don't have to go back to your ship to use the galaxy map to travel to a new planet?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Heroic in Alderaan took me to a Kilik hive, probably took me about 90 minutes to complete it with the bonus objective. Killed at least 200 of those bugs(elite + champion.) Slowly crawled my way through a winding hive to poison the spawning pools and chop the head off of their night herald with my bro Aric.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

that's why you play with stealth classes: you can skip 99% of the unwanted fights (i even did a couple of tough heroics solo, zero kills) gaining hours upon hours, for this you earn less xp but this means that maybe, just maybe, a fight or two can be challenging: my inquisitor died for the first time on the last fight of the last planet, but only because i chose to pick a fight with all the bosses and tough mobs in the room at the same time while 3 levels below them and being healed by a dps companion.

I finished two KOTOR's very recently (like 3-4 days ago) and I might install Tortanic again for the Kotor 3 feels, which server you lads are playan on?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Darth Malgus.

It... will not be a direct and decent continuation of the story set in the KOTORs. Too many retcons along the way. But it is an ok game in its own right. Will definitely scratch any Star Wars itch you might have.

i put together all my strength and focus and i've been able to do some math.
- 200 quickbar unlock
- 1200 artifact quality unlock
- 600 guild bank unlock
are the must-have.
then there's
- 960 (currently in offer) preferred status upgrade, which should include
- 470 ship cargo unlock
less than 3500 cartel points. am i missing anything else important?

but i'm unsure on the status upgrade, the wording of the item it gives seems to imply it's per-character, but it shouldn't be, it'd make little sense for its price. official faqs aren't very useful on this regard.

just pay the 15 dollars for one month of subscription and be done with it, the cartel market is shit
this game is monetized horribly, they could be making a lot more money than they are

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

don't tell me, look at how well warframe has sustained itself, without the gigantic pull of star wars, just by selling cosmetics and little more. even better, lately i noticed you can't even buy resources anymore, you have to loot them like everybody else. not even the slightly smell of a p2w or at least a p2ns (pay to not suffer).

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

and now i can't stop thinking of "jediframe", warframe with blasters and lightsabers. i can hear mickey mouse creaming his pants.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Observation: I see no reason for classes to have 3 specs other than "that's the way WoW did it"
A lot of classes seem to have a third spec that's just crap as if they were completely out of ideas but badly needed a third spec.

To be fair, that's how most of the pure DPS classes in WoW felt too. Lol, survival.
