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

[Commissar Draco]

Finally managed to finish Taris, sadly got un-bugged during climax of final heroic mission but with some kiting and Leora help managed to beat this Rakhghul sith or something. Off to Nar Shada the Smuggler Moon for Republic!

Nar Shaddaa is probably the best area IMO
very atmospheric

Taris was very nice too, its shame the People Revan helped out did not git gut and died out though, liked it more than Balmora to be honest except lack of Darth Lahris of course. Which class is best to play thru Nar Shada first?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I have an issue where I seem to nearly always crash when leaving a FP(grouped only), anyone have any idea as to how to fix this?

Agent. Best story for X is always Agent.

CZ-198 is hands down the best daily area. Only way it could be improved is if they added more variance in missions between days.
Small, well contained, good atmosphere, and basically all the missions overlap each other.

This... sounds very odd. We're talking about a CTD, or to character/server selection?

It is great, that's true. Even the local storyline is neat. I always preferred events of minor importance to Galaxy-shattering epic threats in SWTOR.

freeze, fixed it I think. Was either a wine bug or something else but I did a few FPs without crashing after updating wine.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

well that's really lame
got pretty far into the shroud questline, even completed the first 4 person heroic quest solo with my bro aric
stuck because I need more people to continue due to a puzzle mechanic

 

[Storyfag]

Yeah, that's the shroud questline for ya. You really need 4 people to finish some parts. It is one of the most enjoyable questlines in the game for me, love all the puzzles.

Agent. Best story for X is always Agent.

I stand with my agenda not to play agent as a "first" for anything. It's far better if you already know all the characters and politics involved.

And the answer to "who should I play first" is always: Inquisitor.

"I want to wear robes of pure gold!"

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

One of them got fixed today

• Alliance Specialists will now refund the correct value for Alliance Crates.

You could wear a set of influence gear for +18% in total, hand in crates, hit esc and the conversation would only refund the base amount and you'd keep the bonus.

Is Gus the only male jedi companion?

Is Gus the only male jedi companion?

I would not exactly call him a "Jedi".
But now that I think about it... only the "spoiler companion" for the JK and boneface are a male glowstick wielders. Not a Jedi either.

You get Padawan Nickleback during Onslaught, does that count?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I wish there was a lfg tool for people who actually want to do dungeons rather than run past absolutely everything and race to the end

Just remembered there's a male Jedi alliance contact. Not a companion, though.

Spoiler

Guss is a jedi in my heart.

Do you guys think I'll get banned for calling people greedy hooknosed toydarians?

Sure given that game is run by greedy hooknosed toydarians Comrade.

this wasn't a joke post btw, here's a blogpost from someone about it:

looked like the guy on the left here:

Yes noticed this too Comrade game is buggy, my server was patched second time yesterday but I don't really care about strongholds yes its nice to put locker, mail machine and have backdoor to your ship from whatever place you are in game but its not like you did not give you teleporter and fleet pass, wish I did not joined when game was not that much streamlined to be honest. Given whom you are in game your ship should be your home not some empty apartment.

Played a bit more yesterday and must admit Trooper is not as dull as I expected him, cant wait to grab the Bot companion though as miss stick in her ass and cat are really ruining fun for me (I Role play game semi-seriously and so need to choose proper options always when watched by guy gunning for my command and anal about regulations imp.) At least they are not whiny all the time as Mako was, sure she is cute and my bounty hunter wants to bang her but what she expects we will do working as thugs-for-hire and hit-men for Hutts, Siths, Crime Cartels, Nobles and Imps? I wish there was option to toughen up her like with Alice from DAO.

I filled my apartment with HK-51 statues.

I don't understand the hate for Jorgan. He's the best bro you could ask for.
