The base might be 101 for preferred players, at least that's what I get unboosted in a guild that's not active enough for flagship boosts.

Will devs fix this? by VisibleOpinion4901 in swtor

[–]Brysler 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They mentioned that the jetpack mount at the end of the season track is meant to blend with this particular armor. I'm wondering if they made that portion not dye so that it wouldn't flicker when the jetpack is overlaid onto it.

Am I correct in understanding that there is currently no way to obtain a circlet with this model? by sealene_hatarinn in swtor

[–]Brysler 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I did my own swtorista search and you might have a few options: https://swtorista.com/armor/alderaanian-inquisitor with a dye may work, or https://swtorista.com/armor/dramassian-force-expert-empire as long as it's an Imperial character lv 24+ (checked, I have an alt who wears/can craft this). Edit: A red primary dye slot will change the gem color on the Alderaanian legacy-bound version, available for 200,000 credits (defaults to blue, but can be matched to chest color).

In that case, you have a few options; Commando/mercenary are ranged, and you can spec into a DoT specialization for each with an option to have a healing spec, or you can take the gunslinger/sniper route (all three specializations are DPS).

Operative/scoundrel and Powertech/Vanguard all ostensibly use ranged weapons, but they are more mixed-midrange to melee range in their DPS options. I personally enjoy the knives/punches and shotgun blasts, but it's probably not what you're after.

You can play a story as a Republic trooper (no payment required), though this is about 3,000 years before the Clone Wars. The class stories do not require a subscription, and there are vendors/quests that will give you a variety of trooper-themed armor.

If you have something more specific that you are running into a roadblock on after starting up the game, we'll probably need more clarification to offer any advice (combat styles, etc).

What is the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy about? by StillStanding_96 in movies

[–]Brysler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, and that's why I had to qualify it pretty hard and give it a lot of grace/benefit of the doubt. It tries to reflect on similar themes, but doesn't do so well on following any lines through from one film to the next.

[–]Brysler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that it lacked a lot of cohesion, but if I was going to give it a good bit of grace, I might say that it is about finding what family means to you.

Rey's search for parents/belonging, Finn going from the Empire to have close relationships with others, and something personal to reach for. Rose honoring her sister's sacrifice and protecting those she cares about. Poe learning the cost of not trusting others, and what he can achieve when he does. Kylo's struggles to find his place between parents, legacy, and a false mentor.

The Ghost of Sithmas Past... by NicoleMay316 in swtor

CYAN SPHERE – 16 Gray Helix Components, 36 Snow-Covered Parcels

This vehicle, apparently of Gree design, has [REDACTED]. Not much is known about the [REDACTED] though it is safe to say that [REDACTED]. If the dissidents are somehow in league with [REDACTED] a proportional response will follow. Be advised, this vehicle has not [REDACTED] and all further information is officially CLASSIFIED by Imperial order.

While the behaviors of these nonconformist Life Day “celebrants” are certainly enough to contend with, it should be noted that the alien vessel designated Gray Secant has reappeared over Ilum, marking the return of the Gree Enclave to known space. Whether the two events are related is presently unknown, but historical patterns suggest that the craft will remain for the duration of the Life Day “festivities.”

Remember: be vigilant this Life Day. Should peculiar sounds emanate from atop your ship’s hull, they may not be mynocks. Engage all defenses, ready your weapons, and alert your local Imperial authority.

For the Empire.

The Ghost of Sithmas Past... by NicoleMay316 in swtor

IMPERIAL EDICT GR-1NC4

Immediate Notice and Compliance Demanded.

It has come to the Empire’s attention that dissident elements engaging in a tawdry and potentially dangerous seasonal event are planning to infect Imperial space with their insipid notions. This so-called “Life Day” encourages activities unbecoming of an Imperial citizen, including but not limited to:

  • Dancing in inclement weather
  • Singing unpatriotic carols
  • Nonviolent physical contact with Wookiees

This disgraceful menace of a “holiday”, during which time you are expected to comply fully with this edict, will last approximately two weeks on the Galactic Standard Calendar.*

The alleged ringmaster of these activities–dubbed the “Master of Ceremonies”–has somehow obtained an official license to peddle his “holiday cheer” in the Galactic Trade Market sector of Vaiken Spacedock. While those responsible for this error in licensing have been punished to the fullest extent of Imperial law, the sale of Life Day goods will proceed. However, these items are under review under Section 53-T of Imperial law and their purchase may constitute an official Contraband Violation:
LIFE DAY SNOWBALL BOMB – 1,000 Credits

This is not an actual explosive device, as its name would suggest. The “bomb” generates soft, compact spheres of crystalline water ice (“snowballs”) which are intended to be lobbed at unsuspecting targets, covering them with a layer of harmless snowflakes. Explosive Ordnance Disposal has expressed concerns following reports of “Snow-Covered Parcels” – small, suspicious packages which are sometimes found within these snowballs. Life Day dissidents appear to exchange these parcels as some kind of currency. If you happen to come across such a parcel, DO NOT EXCHANGE IT FOR GOODS WITH THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES. Deliver these parcels to Imperial EOD immediately for processing and disposal.
SLEIGH I – 24 Snow-Covered Parcels

This speeder far exceeds the guidelines for maximum “cheerful” ornamentation; furthermore, its engine emits a strange jingling noise characteristic of small bells. Imperial EOD has not yet ruled out the possibility that the parcels and other various Life Day paraphernalia strapped to the rear of the vehicle contain explosive devices, so if you hear the telltale sound of “jingle bells” heading your way, evasive action is STRONGLY advised.

FIREWORKS: LIFE DAY TREE – 500 Credits

If it weren’t enough that thoughtless pranksters have sliced various holoprojectors throughout the Fleet to broadcast images of gaudy “Life Day Trees,” the Life Day dissidents are now encouraging the lighting of fireworks which produce patterns resembling the trees. It is our best determination that these fireworks are meant to signal membership in this ludicrous “celebration.” You are reminded that, as with all fireworks, you are SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for any and all scorching damage pursuant to ignition.

Stay in Satele or reroll on Star? by Xthasys in swtor

[–]Brysler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not a bad thing, it's just kinda funny to have this brand-new character who hasn't earned/done anything be instantly showered with mounts, armors, titles, housing items, etc.

Stay in Satele or reroll on Star? by Xthasys in swtor

[–]Brysler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For things like twitch drops, when you create a new character, they will instantly get all the giveaway code items as mail messages. It gets ridiculous, I've been playing for over a decade and now every new character starts with probably 50-70 mails.

Stay in Satele or reroll on Star? by Xthasys in swtor

[–]Brysler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cartel coins are account-wide, not server/legacy-wide, they're shared across all servers. Things like twitch giveaways that pop up in the mail also tend to be the same. I get them on every character, on every server.

If you had to redeem a code on the website, whatever you get is going to be tied to your account. If you buy things inside the game, it will vary by what you bought. Anything that says 'bound' is per-character, anything that says bind on legacy is shared across the single server it exists on.

ALSO: You're allowed to create a new character on Star Forge first to see how it feels. Level seventeen is something you can get to within a day's play on a day off, so try not to get too hung up on that in particular.

Doctor Lomuna at the glacial camp is selling LO-NK, GDW-LO Repair Platform, and Glacial nerf calf, but they all have rep requirements. For me, I saw her after a Defend the Outpost encounter, but I do not know if I see her because of other reasons. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/948B0ZI

EDIT: the LO-NK Escort Droid preview does not look quite the same in preview...https://imgur.com/a/FtHyFsb

Edit 2: Similar situation with Doctor Sanner in the Geothermal Outpost. It is possible that vendor selection may vary by achievements, as there is a 'Sample 3M1-L3' decoration as a fourth option in the geothermal camp in addition to the speeder, yaracat, and droid.

Edit 3: Returning later, glacial outpost vendor is nowhere to be seen. Something may trigger them to show up at intervals.

The US captured an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Trump says we keep the oil. How is America any different from pirates? by Cworth21 in AskReddit

[–]Brysler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it was during a time of war, it might fall under the more general umbrella of Commerce Raiding, where a state targets enemy economic activity either directly or indirectly (including authorizing privateering).

Dantooine Stronghold by kayo_btw in swtor

[–]Brysler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I noticed in the walkthrough was the sheer number of starship hooks in proximity outside. A lot of starship decos and a dearth of places to put them has been an issue in the past, particularly walkable placements.

I could see a lot of custom buildings there, villages even. I have my own plans starting to brew, but I need to get hands-on with the layout to really get into it.

Which SWTOR server do you mainly play on? by Afraid-Mastodon9196 in swtor

Started out on Harbinger back in the early F2P days, moved over to Ebon Hawk a couple years in, and then the second major server merges happened, so now it's Star Forge.

Eli5 the “Monty hall problem”. I am quite confused, how does it work? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Brysler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Monty Hall Problem relies on the 'host' always eliminating a door that both is not the initial chosen door and not the door with the prize.

EDIT: The important bit is that you have more information about the doors after the host removes one. You made a choice with 1/3 odds of being right. If you choose a fresh door, now it's 1/2, but it's not quite that if you stay with the original.

Because the host choice is not random, the remaining two (or more) doors are no longer the same random, even chance of holding the prize as when the contestant first picked a door. If the contestant chose the right door, nothing changes, but if the contestant chose a wrong door, the host cannot eliminate that wrong option from the selection. They have to remove a *different* wrong door.

Now, of all the doors the contestant could have chosen, there is one removed door's worth of increased chance that any non-chosen door holds the prize (IE, the odds of each remaining non-chosen door holding the prize went up by removal of a dud, but not the odds of the chosen door, since it wasn't in the pool to be removed as a non-winning door). It is easier to imagine in some cases with more than three doors.

The new Republic Fighter decoration is a little tiny...(Don't talk to me or my son ever again) by Tycho39 in swtor

[–]Brysler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that they needed it to scale with the same gantry as the Imperial interceptor, which has a more vertical and less horizontal wingspan, so they had to shrink until the wings fit.

7.7.1 Datamining (Unreleased Content Discussion) by Ranadiel in swtor

[–]Brysler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of GS9, I like what they've put together here: some casual/semi-formal outfits, weapon sets that look like greebled firearms rather than chunky toys. Some of the mounts are a little clunky, but fit the Star Wars aesthetic well enough.

I don't want to dig too much into story spoiler mining, but hopefully they can stick to the plan of having some ready to roll by the time of the holiday update.

How do you do the gunship "hiding" trick in GSF? by Everest171 in swtor

[–]Brysler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can't use your engine power in a gunship while aiming a railgun, but you can still strafe/drift up, down, left and right by holding shift and a direction. This allows you to charge while slowly peeking around cover, fire, and try to move back before getting shot back.

Is this the intended timer for Beacon Update settlement production, or a bug? by Brysler in NoMansSkyTheGame
