How does it compare to Makeb?

Haven't done the Makeb ones yet.

Let me just say the ride is wild.

guy d/c'd midway through FP, decided to just use my companion in tank mode, went far smoother

was healing and tanking

This... can happen. There are players who are dumber than companions.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

is sith assassin the best class ever? it can either be a terrific tank or terrific dps, it looks cool even in a skirt, it has the coolest lightsaber, it can shock and be a true asshole madlad to enemies, it gets a cool name, it has a cool ship (albeit its layout is horrible, but still better than bounty hunter's), it has stealth and mind trap to skip almost every unwanted fight, it hasn't a buttons sequence set in stone...

only downside is it gets at best a seat in the dark council, while people like the agent at some point get to de facto rule the whole galaxy (plenty retarded by itself already, even more retarded because you still remain a grunt, there isn't a single instance of people listening to you or you giving an order).

My companion in tank mode is going to do far better as a tank than any DPS to begin with. I've also gotten good at micromanaging it.

Commando.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

commando isn't in the sith council, doesn't shoot lightning, hasn't a lightsaber, hasn't stealth, doesn't look cool in a skirt.

I filled my apartment with HK-51 statues.

looked like the guy on the left here:

Those are all companions. I see Talos, Rusk and your crush on the left is Doc I think. After KOTFE, all companions seem to become technically new NPCs, while you get the old ones' equipment sent by mail. Those outdated ones end up... pretty nekkid.
Maybe the game uses the old companions as (normally invisible) placeholders for the hook points.

It's kinda funny tho, looks like your latest conquest has not yet left your appartment after a steamy night of.. sabaak.

If you mean becoming Commander Shepar Outlander, this is the intended fate of all player characters, including any Assassins.

You can place companions in your stronghold as decorations. I think the nekkid ones are a bleedover from other peoples' strongholds, where they probabl *hopefully* reain their full gear.

I hope you are joking. You go from braindamaged slaaaaaaaaaaave to the only sane council member, pretty much running the show in tandem with Darth Marr. Then you move on to become the empress of Zakuul, controlling the most powerful force in the known galaxy. Who cares about the agent being the Illuminati (who are in shambles at that point anyway), if you can literally conquer a world before breakfast.
Sadly it didn't last long, but hey, you can get your old position back, except now with sane collegues. And, let's be honest here, you have far more experience ruling an empire than Acina, so that chair is up for grabs next.

Nothing can beat a collicoid sith lord in disguise, who is cute AND deadly by now.

Especially not someone who has to carry around a yuge gun to overcompensate for something....

[rusty_shackleford]

commando isn't in the sith council, doesn't shoot lightning, hasn't a lightsaber, hasn't stealth, doesn't look cool in a skirt.

LS Trooper is just doing his duty, that's what makes him so great. There is no quest for power or attempting to rule the galaxy. You showed up for work and you're damn good at your job.

Just like Agent and Bounty Hunter Comrade, its very satisfying to show those mages that nobody is blaster proof Comrade.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

sorry, but agent rules the galaxy unchallenged halfway through the basic story. but still gets bossed around and has to do manual work.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Bounty Hunter is Imperial Citizen or just some planet-billy from Outer Rim? His voice actor has nice southern accent but most of jobs I do is for Sith, Imperial Intelligence and such, game really would be better if there was gray faction with no ties to both Republic/Empire and of course ''light/dark'' side but it not the case so most of quests are shared witch is shame, why even Empire trust my hick to do sensitive and secret jobs for them? They have Warriors, Inquisitors and Agents to do them, only jobs I should be offered should be grey and black ops for both sides, with rest being work for planetary governments, exchange and Hutts.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i feel so dirty... in december i develop a weakness to mmorpgs... i subscribed. it's only for a month and i'll pour some hard earned cash to keep the essential improvements lost, but still...


Commissar Draco if you don't want to be part of the empire, be a smuggler/scoundrel and gtfo u_u in the empire, everyone does his part.

 

[Commissar Draco]

I like Empire Comrade its at least honest about itself unlike the Republic which paint itself as galactic democracy but is totally corrupt and divided just wish there were no Jedi, Sith, force and such shit in it. Scoundrel is some kind of Valshaya and I don't RP as le Merchants Comrade.

Oh you want it to be Hammer Station queue. You *don't* want it to be Lost Island or Blood Hunt queue

 

[rusty_shackleford]

people who keyboard turn should be banned from queueing for FPs
edit:
and people who queue as tank in full DPS gear

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Kaon under siege was a cool flashpoint

also, missions completing retroactively is a great feature. Forget to pick up a mission, did the objective anyways, autocompletes when you actually go pick it up.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Hmm, just got a new alliance alert. Didn't do anything special.

tank teaching a DPS how to play his class in a master mode objective meridian

They would queue for operations and those funny alliance pseudo-flashpoints instead. By the way, as a person without preconceptions, how do you compare the two activities?

and people who queue as tank in full DPS gear

That entirelly depends on the skills of the tank, given a competent healer. Given an actually *good* healer, it becomes independent of the skills of the tank.

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

"tank" died on the first boss in hammer station(master mode,) the DPS sage tanked the boss for the rest of the fight. Yes, I was cleansing correctly, he was just taking far too much damage for me to heal.
