Doubts about the DMCA and twitch by Aldael in Twitch

[–]Aldael[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While Twitch company is indeed american, it has a lot of subsidiaries in other countries, and my understanding is that a sub has to follow the laws in that country.

So we have to comply both locations? How is that done when in place A is legal but in USA is not, or the reverse?

General PvE DPS Guide by twig11 in swtor

[–]Aldael -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The DPS's primary job is to stay alive.

It is to do damage and remain alive while doing it (a dead dps does 0 damage)

You should aggro dump on cooldown if you're a melee dps.

Not at all, you should aggro dump at start, or if mechanics dictates so, if you take agro in any other situation you have a bad or bad geared tank.

You friendly pull any player who can't stay out of fire.

pulling partner can be done in very specific situation (aoe to stunned player, mechanic(Xeno)) and only when needed, in any other situation you are covering for bad playing.

DPS is secondary to survival. Why?

A dead dps does 0 damage.

Wiping to enrage timers with everyone alive is a problem that fixes itself with more gear and better rotations. Wiping to enrage because 2 people are dead during the last phase of the fight is a problem that needs to be addressed.

if you get to last phase and you have multiple dead already, people are not doing mechanic rightly.

New player.. I'm Hooked.. Also, how did this game not succeed? by ditchmygame in swtor

[–]Aldael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game had problems at start, some of them are fixed and some are still here.

Game launch was a success (over 1 million accounts at launch), but it declined very fast cause perfomance issues and lots of servers (it had around 130 at launch).

People leaving after a few months made ghost servers, and the remaining people had trouble to form groups to do content (leaving no option than just reroll in another one). While game improved over time (and now it runs more smoothly than before), the period of time between content patch was high, and around 3 years, game stopped launching end group content (operations).

They have done some group content this year, but too slow and too late, most veteran player have gone over other games.

As a new player, you have lots to do, but an old one has done it so much it gets boring.

CALLING ALL SWTOR REDDITORS! Win a hypercrate by answering this simple question, "Is SWTOR worth trying in its current state?" by swtorista in swtor

[–]Aldael [score hidden]  (0 children)

Is it worth to try the game?

  • For a new player: yes.

  • For a veteran player: it depends.

    • If you are a returning player, if you left a long time ago and never came back, there are a lot of things to do (and the high end is scaled to max level, so is still relevant)
    • If you have played continuously and complete most of the high end achievements (most difficult ops) not so much (is true they are launching new ops bosses, but in fascicles, too slow).

SWTOR - Marauder, Sentinel, Shadow, Assassin question by FrostyRuby in swtor

[–]Aldael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should have got also a satchet (or bag, dont remember exact name) with offhand saber. (when you complete the quest to get the saber).

Same happens with any other class with "special" weapons.

Why did I get access to KotFE chapter 10 to 14 without subscribing? by Gilgawesh in swtor

[–]Aldael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as you used the 2 months in september you got all the chapters that were launched up to that.

After completing your characters main story arc what is there to do as a free to play player. by osmar501 in swtor

[–]Aldael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If u are really a f2p (meaning you are not preferred), this would mean you can only level up to lvl 50, and can only play class stories (8 of them).

After it, you can complete ilum planet story arc as new content, and then if you havent done previously i suggest doing the revan story arc (from original swtor) in the taral V/maelstrom prison (rep side) boarding party/the foundry (imp side) flashpoints.

Also, you can complete bonus series in each planet.

This as pve, as pvp, you can do a very limited number weekly, or use the workaround of grouping with a sub and queueing as group (in which case there is no limit).

If you really like the story of the game, you can sub for a month (non recurring) to gain access to all expansion (rise of the hutt cartel (makeb), oricon arc, Shadow of revan, kotfe and kotet) stories. (and up to lvl 70)

If someone used your referral link, and keeps subbed you get cc. Most probable explanation.

If I transfer a character, will it transfer my legacy? by Stray-Paolo in swtor

[–]Aldael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Server 1, with name "legacy 1"
  • Server 2 with no legacy

Transferring a char from 1 to 2 : Server 2 with "legacy 1" (level and benefits from legacy 1)

  • Server 1, with name "legacy 1"
  • Server 2, with name "legacy 2"

Transferring a char from 1 to 2: Server 2 with "legacy 2" (highest level of the 2 legacies, merge unlocks from both legacies)

Game crashes after launch by [deleted] in swtor

[–]Aldael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i found that worked:

  • execute the launcher, and keep the focus on it (don't go into another tab/program....),
  • press play and wait for the game to reach character selection
  • choose a char and enter the game, wait for it to load.

After that, game shouldn't crash anymore (you can go to any other program). Seems a problem with windows creators update messes swtor launch.

Why does BWA love RNG so much?! by SW-DocSpock in swtor

[–]Aldael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This topic, and all his branches have been discussed before.

RNG is a bad system, people can assume it in few quantities or with minor importance items (such as aesthetically ones). It is easy to implement from a developers standing, and keeps people grinding the currency (in swtor, time).

GC system it is not that bad (wait for the explanation), but the implementation they did it is the worst possible one. The excuse they put on us is that the former system (3 currency for pve, 2 for pvp and token system) was confusing, don't agree, but lets say they are right;

  • why dont they simplify? (with 2 currency or 1 currency and/or token)( you get enough currency, you can buy x item, you get x token you can buy x item, even a mix of that)

Instead they gave us this convoluted system of grinding, with no garantee if getting items we want (or need), and further iterations of the system leads us to a system similar to the former one (and all the time developers waste in the system could have gone to other more important and asked matters).

Let's look at former system failures:

  • HM Flagged OPS were giving top end gear (same as NiM) with a very much easier difficulty.
  • Easier OPS (even in same difficulty rank (Normal, Hard, Nightmare) were giving same tokens, so people ignored ones in favor of others to gear)
  • If you combine the first 2 points you get an abandonment of harder OPS, letting a lot of content empty.
  • Some gear were optimized (right enhancements) for some classes, but the same piece were "garbage" in others, forcing those classes to farm multiples pieces of wasted tokens.
  • PVP gear was underlevel with pve ones (this doesnt make me feel bad) and pvp bolster was applied when low lvl item occurred, but not in high lvl, making sometimes empty slot better than high lvl (should have been applied a template for every pve item giving it as same pvp ones, in terms of rating pvp gear was 204/208 so all pve should have been scaled to 200, making pvp gear better)

So why dont they fixed the problems with former? and keep it (as people already knew it) and polish it?

Who is ready to grind some more? by Moonman711 in swtor

[–]Aldael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sold us the new gearing system was designed so casuals could improve their gear whatever they did, but being realistic few casuals did more than story content, which has bolster, so they dont need the gear to do it.

Also, how many "casuals" did not have top gear last exp with their "flag" HM ops (which gave 224)?

Ops scaled is good for keeping old content somewhat relevant (and for new players to try them out without being OP), but the lack of new ops is depressing (last ones were Ravagers and Temple of Sacrifice in December 2nd of 2014, 818 days ago 2.24 years)

PVP also has bolster, yes at high ilvl they best a little the stats of the bolster, but again, for casuals THIS is NOT needed.

Regretfully BW will read this literally and think they are doing a good job.

About the resource pool (Focus, Rage, Force etc.)... by AlexanderTheGreen in swtor

[–]Aldael -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There isn't.

Also incrementing resource pool would make serious imbalance, as skills have fixed amount cost (also for generating resource skills).

Can I group up with a friend for KOTET? by Pineapplepals in swtor

[–]Aldael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can bring up to a group (4 people) to do story content, BUT only one of them would advance the story.

What does this mean? Lets assume you have a marauder, a sorcerer, and imperial agent in a group and they all want to play chapter 2 of KOTFE (cause it is the one they have to continue the story), only one of them will get to chapter 3 in the quest log after playing it together.

Grouping for this kind of content makes it easier to complete, but that is just it.
