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

[Bliblablubb]

Smuggler is okayish. And Risha is one of my favorites. But half of his dialog seem to be universal one-liners regardless what answer you pick.

Also the ship has no beds. They talk about bunking all of the time but the dev placed no crew beds. Same as the JK ship. But that one also gets an empty room with a wardrobe called "cargo hold" instead of it being IN the cargo hold and... aaaargh. Stuff like that triggers me. Sad.

The trooper ship might win the award for being the ugliest one of the bunch, but at least THAT dev put thought into decorating. Sheeet, the chairs even have seatbelts.

I liked kotfe/kotet
lots of new environments, lots of new characters, alliance system is neat, reworking the quests into chapters is overall better(imo) especially with the ability to replay/change difficulty.
a couple of the chapters weren't so great(basically any involving walkers, the one where you're in the woods), but I really enjoyed e.g., the party infiltration one, any of the ones involving iokath, and most of them tbh
mass effect star wars/10

also, it's really obvious that bioware regrets giving each class 5 unique companions. Probably would have been better off with a couple shared companions and one class-specific companion
really obvious because

people dropping like flies ayy lmao

As far as Bioware is concerned, you only have one companion: Lana Beniko.
They may try to lure you in with other chars, even offering romance, but.. it's a trap! Lana is love, Lana is life, and I am convinced she will murder you in your sleep one day if you dare to look at someone else.

Unless of course, Lana bugs out, forgets you even exists, and Bioware acknowledges that by even creating an NPC to fix Lana relations... who only spawns if christmas and thanksgiving happen to be on the same sunday.

Lana is love, Lana is life

Republic has worse looking ships and uniforms too, sure trooper armor looks good but only cause its recolored Imperial storm-trooper/Republic Grand Army clone Commando suit, they really should made the art style based on KOTORs instead but guess EA really wanted to jew on the movies nostalgia.

Finished Corrusant and also got little fun mission with kidnapped senator I am suprised that lowly grunt got most
romance options, more than my Imperial agent got.

P.S. Realy shame you cannot demote your XO further almost spilled my coffee when he called my Trooper son of b... for pointing obvious things to Senators like that he should see your squad defecting serving so closely with them, in fact I betted he would be the Imperial mole.

No, you misunderstand. YOU are the companion. She is the main character.

Welcome to the "I really really really don't like catman" club. Pissing him off is a mandatory goal on every char for me. And KOTFE gives you the chance after him being an edgy fuckup again.

Fat chance, the agent has a womyn in every port. He already clocked at 10 in the basegame alone.

Trooper has only Jaxo as a class unique shag, which is more than female troopers get, plus what little breadcrumbs pubbers get.

YOU are the companion. She is the main character.

Soooo true.

 

[Norfleet]

I swear Norfleet AND Sawyer are working for Biioware now.

Hey, don't look at me like that. That's not how I roll. I wouldn't ever pull a stunt like that. No, my style is to have the enemies do the exact same thing to you, killing you over and over and over. I would NEVER add cheese and then deny the player the opportunity to use it. I'd add cheese and make the enemies abuse it even harder than the players do, thus guaranteeing you will HAVE NO FUN AT ALL because everything is a cheesefest hell just like PvP. BEHOLD, THE POWER OF CHEESE!

And where have you been, anyway? You are missing the mando-grind!

 

[Bliblablubb]

You are missing the mando-grind!

Does binge watching "The Mandalorian" count as mando-grind too? No? Sad.

Nah, I skipped mando grind this time when I realized I hadn't even unpacked the Elachi ship. Freedom!

 

[Norfleet]

I haven't unpacked the Elachi ship either, but that doesn't mean I stopped grinding. Plus, ASScard. Now stop having fun and get back to work.

Greetings fellow Star Wars players from sunny and cozy planet of Taris, still not rebuild after 300 years thanks to Republic famously efficient government:

Game bugged on me and let my Trooper shoot high level damage disciple with no cool downs and only minimal energy.

Trooper can basically tell the politicians to go fuck themselves and that you serve the people of the republic not the senate

Yes you can RP your trooper as patriot no doubt but you are also reminded by his CO that those politicians pay for their pensions, fuel and ammo (which in game they really don't unless you count all those missions did for senators - Mostly told them to go f... themselves if they committed crimes), of course my Trooper is not into habit of letting the traitors to breath but I did once saved senator instead of chasing wraith and got surprisingly nice letter from his wife with thanks and promise of political backing it was really touching detail, sadly there was not an option to meet her Jaxa style. Btw game is clearly not made in current year I don't think SJW crowd would like it all. Also met my second future crew member and she has bigger stick in her arse than Sargent ''I am still about being demoted for my incompetence'', good its nice piece of arse and her imperial accent is cute.

BugoWare. BugoWare never changes.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Welp, I reported the bug a week ago and my ticket still hasn't been answered so I guess sharing it might make it get noticed.
Taking the OSI(? I think that's the name?) buff on Makeb(click the terminal) and then taking a flight anywhere else bugs your companion out and sets it to your level. So if you're level 75, your companion is also level 75. It seems to partially bug you out aswell and your base damage/healing of abilities is boosted to your level too.
Goes away when you lose the OSI buff.

I have a few other exploits I'll share if my tickets remain unanswered

ossus insists I take the african brute with me, tried to take the qt with me instead, get a big nooope


is Ossus supposed to tank my FPS? I'm getting like 10 FPS here

Let's just say I wouldn't bet on them being exceedingly dilligent in solving tickets.

Beat powerful sith lord as a commando
"How are you so powerful?!"
"I train hard and practice."

Onderon and Mek-Sha, too. They're basically unplayable because it causes the camera to chug behind you. I'm pretty sure it's draw distance related.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Finished the Onslaught story. Total time played: 188 hours. For a single playthrough of one career/only one side of all the expansions. No veteran or master mode chapters done, no group flashpoints done.
Flu just started going away too, so it was nice timing.

 

[Storyfag]

It needs to be pointed out that the Flashpoints and Operations also have their tidbits of story. More than half of the latter are even involved in the overall plot, mainly that of Oricon, but also of Yavin 4 and Iokath (and Onderon, I guess?)

that's stuff only for rich kids.

I guess your bug is old and not worth fixing to them. Or even investigating. If it doesn't affect PvP nobody cares anyway.

My toaster runs it on the 2nd highest settings comfortably, but Onderon's foilage and Mek-Sha gave me the occasional hickups as well. It's a decade old engine, but they try to pimp it occasionally. When the Korriban/Tython FPs came out, they killed my old toaster as well.

It needs to be pointed out that the Flashpoints and Operations also have their tidbits of story.

I would even put the flashpoints Anal Taral V/Maelstrom prison(pub) and Boarding Party/Foundry(imp) on the "core story, must play" list. After Ilum the really story relevant FPs are automatically put in your mission log, but those aren't. There are NPCs with the purple marker on the fleet, but who talks to those...
Don't start them from the activity finder tho, or you miss the intro cutscene. You need to take a shuttle to one of the ships nearby. I always liked flying to those.

Operations are only relevant for the Derp Masters arc. Nice, but not mandatory.
And they choked me on Belsavis after rescuing them, so...
