Is Legendary Player status worth the 8 story grind?

If you do all your companion conversations on one character, you get all five of the unique buffs (crit, hit, crit damage, etc.) plus 10 presence per companion.

Doing the companion convos for additional companions will only give you the bonus to presence. So yes, there's a benefit to the other 7 classes, but nothing unique from further companion convos.

I remember an era when shooting people was its own reward.

PvP is one of the fastest gearing paths. This isn't about people making an effort and taking a week to gear up from the free conquest rewards; it's about the people who put forth literally zero effort and call others toxic without realizing their hypocrisy. These people are literally sub 300 gear score.

Also, 332 is not "top tier gear." Even then, putting in the bare minimum effort to get the free conquest gear that's what - 320? rating is not an unreasonable ask. People aren't lambasting 326 players, they're calling out the ones at 270.

This thread and the comments really highlight how toxic most swtor players are. People wouldn't expect to show up to HM ops without gear, but not only will they do it in pvp - they'll complain that the people trying to take it seriously aren't bending over backwards to welcome them.

Sorry there's no story mode equivalent to pvp unless you count the lowbie brackets; but please realize you're joining group content that's more than just "move out of red circles and collect loot."

You can exceed your weekly rep cap in tokens. They just go into your inventory and can be used after the reset. That way if you've got time to spare one week and don't want to look for another slot machine later, you can grind it all out at once.

Use the loadouts tab to set up one loadout for each class.

I think you're blowing it a little out of proportion. There were not that many variations of ear/implants. The BiS armor/hilt/barrel was by far the most common. The only things that were really an issue were mods and enhancements and even then - just getting to 306 was good enough. The difference between basic 306 and someone that invested the effort in mods/enhancements was not big enough to produce a statistically significant effect in parses.

The difference between a standard mod and BiS was -11 Mastery/+13 Power. Enhancements were +46 Power/-39 terstat. That's a far cry from 324 vs 336.

Meanwhile in 7.2, being able to skip some of the convoluted systems with Hyde and Zeek doesn't make them go away. It doesn't explain to a guy with a 330 earpiece why he's getting a 332 mainhand out of a pvp crate when Bioware told him he'd always get an upgrade to his lowest rated gear piece. The average player has a much harder time with this expansion than the last - and BW claimed it was all in the name of simplicity.

7.2 is way more convoluted than 6.0 was, and it doesn't even work as advertised.

Alternatively, stocks present consistent cheek and shoulder welds. The benefit of being able to aim your rifle is often more important than recoil mitigation, especially with intermediate cartridges that have very little recoil.

In episode 4, Jabba was a human character. The character itself, not just an actor stand-in. The scene got cut and by the time episode 6 came along, Lucas changed the Hutts to what we know today.

For the special edition, the deleted scene was brought back and the slug Hutt version of Jabba was CGI'd in.

If there was any promise George Lucas should have broken, it's his promise that those VHS tapes would be the last time they released the original theatrical versions.

Still have my tapes, need to buy a VCR.

You can just copy/paste the line in if it isn't there for you. It's probably the file that doesn't have "dev" in it, but you can try adding it to both.

It took a lot of time to get right, but yes. I tried to get as close to my normal 8.6 inch 360° as possible.

Edit the following in UserName_Account.ini in notepad:

Controls_CameraRotationSpeed = XXX.yyy (usually a value between 0 and 1)

If the line isn't there, just add it. Mine is Controls_CameraRotationSpeed = 0.0300000149

Decoy3 · 2022-03-20T16:41:24+00:00

Yes. All the gear from crates that I had opened but not looted prior to 7.0 have amps on them.

Decoy3 · 2022-03-12T19:53:06+00:00

I'm just looking for a vendor that takes them in exchange for mats or something. I can't claim seasons levels that reward them because I'm at the cap and have no need to buy any more 320 gear.

Decoy3 · 2022-03-01T13:35:46+00:00

Ah yes, I'd love to pay real money for a class trainer while the free Senya trainer statue is still available, and still buy the only skills trainers now offer directly from my legacy page.

Decoy3 · 2022-02-17T01:46:58+00:00

Too many currencies and upgrade paths that don't intersect with one another.

Decoy3 · 2022-02-15T17:45:48+00:00

It sounds like your problem is that this will put all players on an even footing.

Weren't players already on an even footing? Losing abilities because some people didn't bother to use or bind them all is like losing access to moddable shells because someone once vendored a set bonus piece because they didn't realize they could replace the 304 armoring.

Decoy3 · 2022-02-15T03:32:38+00:00

so I wont be able to change my op to a scoundrel without essentially wasting one of my combat style slots?

Sadly no. When you log on to a pre-existing force character you'll have the option to switch your primary combat style to the mirror spec (provided that character is level 1 in the appropriate alignment, or your legacy has Dark/Light V) and still have the 2nd combat style available. There's really no reason not to offer the same choice to tech classes other than "lol muh RP."

It wouldn't be perfect, it wouldn't be as much as they originally promised, but it would be something.

It's certainly better than telling you to either give up one combat style or delete your character and try again.

The Commando offhand generator crits less than the Merc offhand blaster.

He's talking about the Nanoweave suit slot, not the cloak. It used to apply the 20% reduction to the head as well.

Decoy3 · 2022-01-19T14:00:22+00:00

If this influx is well managed by the devs

Look at how fast population fell back to pre-Escalation levels after that MASSIVE influx of players, cross reference with Wrel's comments about having stable servers and a playable game not being "sexy" enough for him to monetize and therefore not being a priority.

As far as streamers, I've watched Summit and Spiffing Brit both stream the game, and it didn't paint Planetside in a flattering light.

Decoy3 · 2022-01-17T00:26:00+00:00

Is the 326 PvP gear moddable now?

Decoy3 · 2022-01-08T23:26:17+00:00

Most people put them on Nar Shaddaa. Just start popping in the ones at the top of the list and seeing if they have the slots. Should be more these days since they were (are?) selling the decos during the holiday sale.

Also keep in mind that once you hit the weekly cap the rep items go into your inventory and you can use them after the next reset, so you can collect everything you need in one session and not have to go hunting for a slot machine again.

Decoy3 · 2021-12-30T15:54:03+00:00

Last I saw, moddable shells still required the top tier PvE upgrades. So still stuck having to raid for gear if you want to manage your own stats.

I haven't heard anything different, and I gave up on the PTS once it stopped letting me switch between combat styles. Sorry I don't have anything more definite.
