SWTOR: Catch-All

Yeah, those videos are incredible. While I understand there is a vast difference between making a 6 minute show, and a full movie, I REALLY would want to watch a full movie made by these guys.

I returned to this game after years since playing. I bought the Amazon bundle pack which included 3 months of game time and like 2,400 in cartel market money. I haven't played since the cartel market has been added. Any suggestions on the best way to use my credits?

I'd say that unlocks are probably the best route - if there's a particular species/hairstyle/appearance thing that you're excited by. You can also look into unlocking the Ewok and HK companions (though the HK companion is going to be a freebie giveaway for subscribers soon, so maybe not that), or buying your character a set of armor that looks rad.

I agree. Unlocks are still the best bang for the buck. Also, if you haven't played it yet the Fallen Empire content is excellent.

Careful, that way lies Zach Snyder films.

Just a reminder the latest expansion is out and it's great.

I jumped back in and noticed there's 4 more chapters that my 'story' guy needs to go through before he can start the new story.

I created my boosted character (smuggler this time around) and itching to get going, but really want to see the story through the eyes of my shadow knight.

I've actually shelved playing the new expansion for a bit. I want to finish this cool obscure indie title called The Witcher 3 first. You might not have heard of it but it's kind of cool.

I emailed the SWTOR Facebook page asking if they're ever going to do an XP bonus event like they did a year back - 12x XP. I was able to plow through two characters storylines in that time from start to finish - and it was the most fun I'd ever had in SWTOR. We'll see if there's a reply.

They did that right before they started selling character boosts... (which now can be purchased with in game coins as well as normal currency)

Odds are their answer will be no because it would take away sales from the boost items.

Still would be nice.

This person on youtube creates movies using SWTOR cutscenes, dialogue choices and some combat stuff. Very fun to watch.

But, that how it works now permanently? You can play just the main mission, and the storyline mission, and get enough xp to progress. You don't need to take all the bonus quests, side quests and so on anymore, since the xp rewards were boosted for the planetary questline, and the character storyline.

There's a gathering on Alderaan in Castle Organa to honor Carrie Fisher. (Ubergizmo) (SW:TOR thread)

What is galactic command? Haven't played this in 3 or 4 years. Planning on diving back in. If I subscribe, do I get the XP bonus? The worse part of this game was getting up to the level to continue the story quests. If I could skip that grind, I might actually get sucked back in.

Galactic Command is how they manage the end game content now. Once you hit max level you do things for the command (pvp, flashpoints, raids) and get points. You buy your gear and mods with the points acquired.

I've not hit max level yet so dont have much detail beyond that right now on it.

I don't know about 12x xp but it sounds like they are going to do the Dark vs Light event again this year which gave double xp. Combined with the changes to xp you can basically just do the class story if you want during the event.

When is that going to start?

This year it was end of June until just before the expansion released.

It's only an assumption that they will do it again in 2017 right now though.

Is there a guild in Jedi Covenant? Any good benefits?

Been playing this again but been on the Imperial side on the Harbinger server so no GWJ love. Love reading that people are traveling to Alderaan to pay tribute to Leia (though she wouldn't existed yet).

On the Alliance side there's GAC that a bulk from the start migrated too and it's still in play. Not extremely active, but still alive.

250% Bonus XP + Command XP Event starts tomorrow

I recently reinstalled this game and found that I am the only one left in the old army of one gwj guild. Where did everyone migrate to?

:P

I guess I should have read one post up. Sorry but thank you for helping the reading impaired.

Just finished Knights of the Eternal Throne.

A good, epic ending to hundreds of hours of developing my Jedi Knight.

...I think after years playing this fairly regularly, I think I'm finally done with it.

until the next expansion

Why do I check this thread?! Just reading a few comments and I'm like "I kinda miss my toons" which leads to me downloading the installer and re-upping my sub. Damn my eyes!

Indeed. But I have to admit it did feel good to uninstall after years on my hard drive.

Also, if any of you folks who were previously subscribers or new folks who want a free 7 days to see the changes, I have a referal link:

http://www.swtor.com/r/sLSkxQ

You get 7 days subscribed and 500 free Cartel Coins (an ingame currency for buying stuff) and I get some CC and stuff too.

Until you reinstall it and have to deal with that godawful streaming update thing again.

I forgot to save a copy when i changed computers not long ago. It's still a big chunk to download, but it's not as bad as it used to be. Took normal time for the amount of data they push at you.
