**OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

Alderaan was my favorite. Republic side so not sure if thtat matters. just felt more open and free roaming to me i guess than previous planets.

Same here [on the Imperial side]. I beta'd Agent and Smuggler up to Alderaan and it's visually the same on both sides of the fence.

Belsavis - that's the most annoying planet [at least it was during beta] - waaay too much traveling...

 

[IndyColtsFan]

alderaan is the best looking i've seen, but it doesn't look much better than conan did, if at all.

I think AoC is still in a class by itself in terms of MMO graphics.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Getting fed up with bugs in the Heroic missions -- just completed the Breakthrough Heroic on Belsavis and only the first person could loot the final piece of the quest.

Prrelim 1.1 patch notes are out.

It fixes a lot of the notable bugs, though the extremely funny "too fat to loot the Ulgo datacron" one doesn't seem to be listed. Also, it seems a bit BS that you can't use companions on Ilum.

However, new level 50 flashpoint!

AA, it's about time!

if any sith on shii-cho need hilts, enhancements, crystals or wieldables (focus/shield/generator) i can craft those up to lvl 39ish. blues and purples are no problem, if you have the special materials. just drop a note here with character and item names. if we have any armor crafters, speak up

doh, i should have posted that in the guild thread

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Hmmm, so if I'm reading the notes right, level 50s will no longer be placed in the same warzones with lower-level players. That's a good change.

yes and no. itll be nice during the peak times. but in the morning (like now) when i am trying to even get in a WZ its going to make it worse. I already wait 15 minutes per a WZ. Having to wait for all 50's just means i might as well not bother.

The biggest part for me is Ilum. Requiring you to kill enemy players.....Im lucky to find one enemy in the mornings when i do the daily there. Let alone being healer spec good luck killing most people >.<

Bioware is trying to make it into a big world pvp zone but it just wont happen. To many people on at different times let alone if one side has more numbers the other side will just quit.

Yes! It is about freaking time.

What's the best TOR news website? That would have patch notes, and whatever other news on the main page?

Couple of sites I have been visiting to learn about the game:

Dude space mission xp is RIDICULOUS. I'm gonna be level 22 before arriving on the 3rd planet.

/agree.

However, you'll find that post level 35ish - the mobs seem to do more damage than they should. Even though my Agent was level 40 on Quesh - the silver mobs were slicing through my armor [and Kaliyo] like butter.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

trying to learn how to level and pvp as tank with my assassin. Any tips?

 

[lupi]

that czerka underground spot on tat does seem to be a hotbead. Looks like it is one of the few area so far where they have both factions actively quest in close proximity.

Tusken area on the east side is also a shared area.

Well got to do my first "operations" just 8 man but we cleared karagga's palace and eternity vault. Most of us just had a couple pieces of pvp gear so nothing special. Cleared both pretty easy and only deaths were just figuring the fight out and bugs. Some of the fights felt way under tuned compared to others though. And let me tell you it was plenty buggy. Whole raid randomly dieing while just standing around. We also had a nasty loot bug where it was stuck in round robin no matter what we tried. For the most part loot went to the correct people via that but we did have a couple pieces go to waste. Also the last boss (SOA) i was in mind trap when they killed him and it sent me and the other healer to a wierd zone. We had to /stuck. but we run back only to find out we can even get to the loot cause the floor had collapsed with no way down. So i lost out on getting my chest piece (unless the ticket gives it to me!)

Just lots of silly bugs. if anyone cares it took us 3.5 hours to do both places with a 20 minute break plus all the learning curves and bugs. So not to bad when we figure next time should take less than 2 hours

Have any of you guys tried out end-game yet? As of now, I feeling the grind is awesome.

Eitherway, any one feel this game would make a great single-player offline game is they removed a few of the group quests? Just curious.

I'm not sure yet if $15 a month is worth it, since I play most of the game by myself, but am looking forward to some dungeons (soon I hope.)

 

[nageov3t]

all the talk about 30+ being a monster makes me scared... would it be worthwhile to try and level up on space missions and then do all the questing content once I've outleveled it?

my vanguard is only level 18.

As for it being single player...yeah they could tweak it and make it single player but it wouldnt be as fun IMO

Level 30+ is just where content starts getting out of the you can faceroll everything pretty easily. I solo'd as a jedi sage (healer) all the way to 50 with no real problems. But i started having to CC mobs and rest a bit more after some pulls. I just did the bonus series whenever possible and wa spretty much 1 level above minimum when starting a new planet from it

Cool, I just read that. My highest toon is a level 23 Jedi Sentinel. I just did the Lokust dungeon quest over in Taris. I believe it took my group about an hour and a half. I did have a good time, but it felt like most of us didn't know what to do (or at least I got that vibe.)

I'm sure if I were with a bunch of friends it would have been more fun.

Since I run a guild in WoW, the issue of paying for two subs (4 if you include the GF) a month calls into question longetivity of the game. So far, the game has been very enjoyable, and I'm just hoping all the negativety I've read in some forums isn't true.

I'll see it first hand when I get there, for now the grind is enough to detract me from WoW haha.

But the loot sucks compared to PvE encounters.

I've kinda done this, but a couple of notes: There's certain areas/missions that you still won't be able to solo. The other thing is it takes the fun out of the game when you are 5 levels above what the planet is meant to be and you're just there breezing through missions and story lines because at that point it becomes numb to play. There's no challenge in figuring out how to take down a boss or mob.

You want to see if your group can handle things ok, do the jawa concerns dungeon 3 man without a healer pc. Pure bliss there.
