Thread 715958782

I feel a movement in the force

As if thousand anons started to play SWTOR again....

>>715958782 (OP)
if youve never played it it's a nice throwback to old bioware (when it was on the decline, but still leagues better than modern bioware)
but after the initial content and first few raids it turns to shit and become nu-bioware. stop playing when you hit the first expansion

>>715958782 (OP)
>Play the free version that's just base game
>Finish Sith Warrior Story Line on Tutorial Planets
>Quest reward is a new Lightsaber
>Except you need the Hutt Cartel DLC to actually use it
>Have to pick the Vibroblade instead of the cool lightsaber

Nah. I'm good.

>>715959378
huh? Do you mean a purple rarity weapon? You need to pay for the privilege to use it but you don't need the expansion specifically

>>715959378
huhß

Is it time to go back? Hows the player sitch?

>>715958782 (OP)
I haven’t played it since 2017/2018, but only the base game original stories for each class are worth playing.
After that it’s shit.

>>715959613
they overhauled a bunch of textures and planets and systems

lord zash r34

MAKE KORRIBAN GREAT AGAIN

>>715959584

>>715959613
>only the base game original stories for each class are worth playing.
not even that, maybe two are worth playing. And even those aren't actually worth playing because the cutscenes are still animated terribly and the gameplay in between is still awful

>want to make a jedi since they let you use the sith one handed animations
>still hate all the jedi voices
they are all so boring and not even in the "boring monk" way they should be

>>715960008
yea

swtor had too many long corridor mazes for like every map, to artificially extend how much time you're spending...on your way to isolated instanced stories where your choices don't matter...why would anyone go back after they see how horrible it was?

>>715960226
voiced npcs

>>715960008
Fem Consular is alright

but then the problem is you have to play Consular

I love swtorista

>>715960302
smuggler story: someone has been scheming to kill you, as the plot develops your would be killer "has a change of heart" and wants to join your crew...your 3 options are all "yes join my crew", there's no option "no, infact i'll leave you here, or i'll still kill you", you are forced to take this companion...many such cases of the whole "choose your path" stuff failing miserably

game on life-support, i hope they pull the plug.

>>715960840
>life support
>starting areas are 50+ players
yeah nah its bussing atm

what's with all the tor glazing lately?

hilarious

>>715960876
idk but I'm enjoying it. I'm trying to complete all classes and I'm on trooper now with Imp Agent left and then it's expansion time.

>>715961017
Fav class so far?

>>715961257
Sith Warrior or Inquisitor. Jedi Knight is probably the best of the Republic classes but it still felt generic and roleplaying felt limited.

>you cant customize companions without a subscription
BROOOO

SWTORs music is just class compare that to nu disney SW its night and day

>>715958782 (OP)
I think i last played this when they introduced the combat revamp, anything good now? Last time i played combat sentinel and they fucking removed fanged god form accessory

>>715961017
Expansions are hot dogshit be warned. I only replay the classes from now on.

>>715961615
Expansions are pretty fun

let me guess, it is the year 2025 of our Lord and we STILL can't fuck Vaylin?

are holocrons account bound now?

>>715961673
>can't fuck Vaylin
>inquisitors who choose Zash over monster who threaten to eat you? Will never ever get 5th companion back
>Malgus is le returns again
It's so tiresome

Is empress acina romancable yet?

>>715962173
why would you EVER pick Zash over Khem

>>715960876
twilek women owe me sex

thank god i got some credits before the purge

>>715962419
what happened?

Perhaps there will be no resurgence, anon—no great migration of new players. Perhaps your franchise told its last true story in 2004, and has been dying ever since—its motions a mimicry of life, like a corpse made to dance, limbs pulled by strings held in the gloved hand of a mouse. Perhaps all that remains is what I see before me: a lone player, clinging to half-remembered cutscenes and forum wars, haunted by Revan and Malachor like they were real victories, wrapped in the fading armor of a galaxy that has long since moved on. Not a warrior, not even a fan—just a relic, roleplaying relevance in a game that outlived its own soul.

My Chiss Imperial Agent was top waifu material though

>>715962524
they greatly overhauled how the AH works ingame

>only sith inquistors get double bladed lightsabers
lame

>>715962806
not anymore, you can select combat styles for different classes now

>>715962806
You can play as assa as a jk though its just the story, your animations etc are the assa ones

Though animations can get wonky if you play a class story that was designed with one saber in mind

>>715962860
>>715963029
Damn really? Might have to replay this shit.

MURDER AND MAYHEM AWAIT

>>715963109
you basically choose which class your equipment/skills will be and then you choose the story. It's been a while but I don't think you can mix between force and non-force though

>>715963109
Yes you can interchange now

wtf

>>715958782 (OP)
The actually good storyfag mmo, superior to ffxiv slop. But then again that's not a very high bar to clear.

>>715963219
I was gonna do a jedi consular sage playthrough as a Togruta, a jedi knight shadow as maybe a dark side Twi'lek, a sith inquisitor sorcerer as a Miraluka and I haven't decided for sith warrior yet.
I just don't wanna pay for the subscription to unlock all those races.

>>715963752
Just play now and race change at some point through cartel coins

>>715963259
IA can be anything now?

>>715963854
Yeah

why does this game have burst and dt speccs

>>715962262
With all her vices, she is preferable than maneating monster who endlessly threaten to kill me.

Don't care, I always romance her at SoR since I'm not retarded.
Keep coping.

>>715958782 (OP)
Nah it's boring. The only good F2P MMO is Age of Conan

>>715970124

>>715970378
It literally doesn't, keep coping.

>>715969226
>1 bar sorc

Is it just me or did the game get massively easier a few years back? I used to get absolutely trounced by bosses, but then my companions just started hyperfocusing on healing to such an extent that I was basically immortal unless I was one-shotted.
Were they always able to do that?

>>715970304
>good F2P MMO is Age of Conan
This is extremely bad bait

>>715958782 (OP)
Why would we do that? Dead game, if you can ever say it was alive to begin with.

>>715970723
Yes.
They changed how companions worked to, essentially, make it almost impossible to die when playing solo since they heal so much and so quickly.

>>715970864
Canon whore

>>715971618
Canon best pragmatist wife.

>>715958782 (OP)
I've been thinking of returning, do you still get a max level character token if you sub? I see they've removed some F2P restrictions.

>>715970864
Wrong, comp sub lvl 50 are ass

>>715972117
No, they allow you to do all the content you'd be expected to at the given level.
They'll carry you through flashpoints, boss fights, story content.

>>715963259
Hunter as an operative sounds like fucking fun

>>715972169
No they won't a lvl 50 comp most certainly

>>715972272
They will.

>>715972327

its story is weak as fuck compared to IA and SW

>>715970720
You only had a few worthwhile abilities as far I as remember in vanilla. I had stopped long before that screenshot, but it's the only one I can still find.

>>715974258
>SW
cringe srtoery

>>715958782 (OP)
Funny enough, this is absolutely true in my case.

>>715974217
MMOs are a power fantasy, especially if you are playing a magic wielding force god. The fact that the inquisitor fails a few times and needs help rustles their jimmies and bruises their ego.

>>715963086
animations are already wonky

>>715958782 (OP)
I feel a movement in my bowels.

>>715974853
cool story bro

>>715975149
I think it was more the fact that you go in expecting Palpatine and end up sort of brute forcing everything, still liked it though especially with the lightning.

okay I'm reinstalling. I wonder how many security key bux I have

>>715958782 (OP)
no, isn't there private servers like wow?

>>715975604
Its old bioware jank but the funny kind

>>715982206
The concept of a character that has enough bite to insult people, but not enough to swear is so jarring.

>>715982480
yeah they should just unalive themselves

>>715958782 (OP)
SWTOR threads in a row. Fine i'll re-download and finish the imp agent.

>>715958782 (OP)
i tried to get back into it last year when i had the Star Wars itch but i just can't do it, the character models are all so fucking ugly i just can't get invested in a character that looks like a retarded potato.

I want to play it but I have altoholism...

>>715982480
Good news, arse/ass is canon
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_phrases_and_slang

Fuck how do I get my security key. Think I deleted the app

>>715982954
Should be a way to reset login to the website.

>>715963219
>>715963259
Wait so the things at the bottom are new classes while the old classes are just fluff now?
Or is it 2 class systems that combine together so for example you have Agent skills with Operative skills or Hunter skills with Sniper skills etc.?

Remember there were a lot of restrictions on F2P players back when it went F2P including the race selection, is it still the case?

>>715983843
No you can mix and match classes from non froce users
And play whatever saber class with whatever

>>715983843
>Agent skills with Operative skills
ywa

what's the deal with this minimap? I can't find any settings that will cut out the area not in its square when zoomed in

>>715987924

>>715961402
Liked smuggler the best of the republic stories, more of a personal story instead of being the big hero.

>>715991203
twee you dumb nerf herder

For me?

Tried it for the first time last year and was put off by how mindless and easy the combat was. I was clearing encounters within seconds. Was it always like that?

>>715993852
Been like that for 10 years or so by now.

>>715993852
No, they've made both combat and leveling way too easy and I hate it. The UI was also downgraded, look up the old character creation screen.

>>715995190
I was honestly thinking of picking up the game, if only ever to play the base game. Do people mostly just play for the storylines or something?

>>715995695
>Do people mostly just play for the storylines or something?
Pretty much.
It's a very single-player MMO.

>>715995695
Mostly yeah, there are raids but the real endgame is space Barbie. And decorating your homes.

So, how good is this game while going f2p?
I only saw memes about it throughout the years, is the gameplay/story fun, any cool farmable stuff or something? Also, how are the different races and classes? I couldn't find any big wiki or source of info.

>>715959540
>Blatantly pay to win
Not him but fuck this game.

>>715996160
It's something you almost immediately outlevel if I remember right. But yes there are a lot of hidden pay2win traps like that.

>>715996047
Look up Swtorista's website or YT channel, she has guides on everything including the F2P experience.

>>715958782 (OP)
Yes, hahaha . . . YES!

>>715997882
Begone foul rodent!

how far into the game do i have to get to romance that sexy blonde sith bitch?

>>715998165
You have the entire base game + 1 DLC to get to before you get to the Shadow of Revan prelude where you get to meet Lana for the first time.

>>715998318
sith women owe me sex

>>715998360
True.

So what's the best and/or most fun class story, and why is it Imperial Agent?

>>715998495
>and why is it Imperial Agent?
Jo Wyatt.

>>715998495
glorious ass and writing galore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf3ovmiP-kM

>>715998495
SW > IA > Trooper Act I > JK > BH > Smuggler = SI > JC > Trooper Acts II and III

>>715998495
Best maybe but there's more fun torching people's asses with lightening or blowing people's minds as a good sith, or sassing the galaxy as a smuggler. The smuggler gets to feed a grenade to a hutt, can't put a price on that.

>>715998896
What's wrong with Trooper acts 2 and 3?

>>715998896
>>715998991
For me the reason IA is best is simply because it's the one that's not clamoring to let you ERP as a famous Star Wars character (that I'm aware of).

Inquisitor was also fun because of how fucking LOONY the character can get.

Kinda burnt out before I could absorb all the Trooper/BH ones but I'm assuming they can be fun too.

the rest just feel too "for the fans" if you get me. At least far as I played with those three. Happy to be wrong. Sith Warrior was pretty good if I played him as a gentle giant type.

if they did a graphical update i would play the shit out of this game, but for something so focused on cutscenes and the story none of it looks good

>>715996160
that's not even the worst of it, you need to pay for more than two hotbars

>date with vette
>you break into a museum, steal an artifact and have an explosive getaway
>date with theron
>he declines a work call, fade to black
What a letdown.

>>715999610
Funny enough they already did a graphical update. And the results are mixed to say the least.

I dunno. maybe it's the engine? or trying to make a MMO look good while also functioning?

>>715958782 (OP)
I refuse to consoom any SW media as long as the sequels are still canon.

>>715999923
yeah I know they did some light touchups of the world and lighting but they need to fix the characters and textures looking like shit all around

>>715999918
Vette is just the best, and it's just that simple.

>>715999923
Doesn't fix the character models and animations looking absolutely terrible.

I miss the days when this game had a bunch of RPers playing it. You know, for proper writing, but also for hot Chiss bitches and Twi'lek slamsluts.

>>715958782 (OP)
The thread yesterday had me considering a reinstall but I know I'll have the same problem as before: crippling indecision on what class to play.

>want to play the kotor games
>keep dropping the first right after the first hour

>>716001834
Imperial Agent, most fun.

>>716001945
A lot of people seem to dislike Taris (I enjoyed it), so I would suggest trying to power through if you think that's your issue.

>>715960876
There's no reason for people who are normal to keep talking about the Tortanic, leaving the only people who want to talk about it being the kind of delusional weirdos who have been playing swtor for decades despite how much it suck ass.

>blatant obvious lie from someone who didn't play the game
Woah

>>715999078
They don't let you larp as the edgy "good soldiers follow orders" type of trooper like in Act 1 where you could straight up kill all of the traitors.
Act 3 is where the writers remembered this was supposed to be a military storyline and pulled some factions out of their asses so you could lead a war at the last minute.

Lucas lost all credibility with Return. It's the point he let everyone know he had no idea what he was doing or where he wanted to take the franchise so it was open season to make up any old bullshit.

>>716012940
I don't care about the Extended Universe. I care about Anakin's destiny and his legacy being tarnished by Palpatine being alive in the sequels.
In fact, the Extended Universe had the same problems the sequel have.
I was happy when Disney made them uncanon. I just didn't expect they would commit the same mistakes.

>>716013693
>Anakin's destiny and his legacy
His prophecised destiny to throw Palpatine down a shaft and his legacy of slaughtering the Jedi Order and two decades of murdering innocents for the Empire?

>>715999834
No you don't, you can swap between three.

F2P is pretty generous, but the EXP curve for it is reason enough to not bother outside of poopsocking to 60 during TWO (2) WEEKS in May yearly.

Also you can't finish the terrible Revan story, so it's whatever. "KotOR 3-8" my fanny.

>>716014127
Departures and ends is what always comes from beginnings. I hope you find some of the old joy in this thread.

I remember playing this game as a few different cute female toons and finessing millions upon millions upon millions of free credits from suckers, and most of the time I didn't even have to do anything to get it, just look pretty. I even got this guy to give me all kinds of credits and other free gifts just for pretending to be his in-game wife. He would log in once a week and I would tell him I'm pregnant and he should leave me alone because I'm moody, and he would give me more gifts then leave.

>>716014009
His legacy was to kill the Sith, which he did. Or not, if you consider the sequels.

>>716014591
That's not what legacy means. His legacy is 20 years of violence, the death of the Jedi and the dissolution of the Republic after a thousand generations of peace and stability.

Literally does not matter if he ended the Sith entirely. He did not kill the Dark Side. Evil Force users will always exist. Another asshole Force religion will replace the Sith. That's the biggest sin of the EU, a bunch of autists forcing the entire Star Wars universe to be 6000 years of Jedi vs Sith wank instead of doing something else.

i genuinely enjoyed playing as a Light Side Sith Warrior

Don't care m8. That was his Destiny, Lucas' words. Disney retconned it.

>>715998495
Because it's somehow simultaneously the most grounded and the most crazy storyline. Just very good writing. Also Vector is a bro

I've only done one playthrough of each class story and two expansions but so far:
>God tier
Imperial Agent (DS), Sith Inquisitor (DS)
>Great tier
Bounty Hunter (LS), Sith Warrior (LS), Smuggler (LS), Trooper (DS)
>Good tier
Jedi Knight (LS), Shadow of Revan
>Weak tier
Jedi Consular (LS), Rise of the Hutt Cartel

>>715958782 (OP)
I've finished Trooper, Smuggler, Warrior, Inquisitor and Bounty Hunter. Never really been able to get into being a goody goody Jedi and as much as I like Kaliyo I've yet to finish the Agent story.. Not sure why.

>>716009613
isnt there slutmog for completing 5 random dungeons?

>>716021604
>Rise of the Hutt Cartel
I agree, it's a stinker. I would argue it's up there with some of the worst expanded universe stories. Jedi Prince looks better by comparison. I think Legacy of the Sith is even worse than RoHC

>>716009613
You can buy it in an NPC shop, cantina on Nar Shaada for sure

>>716023697
Eh it isn't some setting-breaking bullshit like the crystal star. It's just kinda dull but at least it gave us more Darth Marr.
