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

[KidNiki1]

I think their info is wrong (at least as far as looking at fleet/ilum is concerned). I play on 2 servers and it has the one with far few people on fleet/ilum any time day or night well ahead of the busier one.

Data is probably old.

These pages are based on my previous personal project I originaly did for RIFT: Planes of Telara - www.riftstatus.net.

I wanted to do something I like, enjoy, which is also meaningful (in a way), and to try out some technologies, such as jQuery and Flot. The pages have been tested in IE9, FireFox 8.0 and Chrome 15.

The server statuses and graphs are updated every five minutes, using the official server status page for which I would like to thank the developers from the BioWare Corp. Good job!

WoW wasn't "free up to level 20" until last June, 7 years after release, but it is a good idea for TOR.

The've had free trials for many many years.

Yeah, I'm excited for 1.2 mostly (not thrilled about potential nerfing).

I liked this stat: 80% of all level 50s playing have under 400,000 credits.

Wow.

I don't even do much, but my main toon has 2.5 million credits. However, when I first turned 50 after making all the purchases I went from 1 million at fresh 50 to 200K or so... So, if I decided to 'take a break' from the game, that does sound about right.

Looking at individual characters would be a bit misleading. My main certainly has more than 400k, but not much more than 1mill. I keep most of my cash on my bank alt, who is only lvl 11. Over 6 mill creds there. Now if they could look at accounts, and tell me the average creds owned per account that has at least 1 level 50 toon, that would be a lot more informative.

I've been 50 on my main since January and still only have around 250k. Mostly because I don't care to make any more. What do I even need additional credits for? Speeder? Not a big deal as I spend 99% of my time at the Fleet or on my ship. It's not usable in PvP so that's not a concern. Beyond that, the only gear I need it through PvP so I'm not needing it for the auction house.

Definately strange. I'm a pretty casual player who gets maybe 12-16 hours of game time per week and I was a gearwhore, every level I had to have the absolute best gear. Now my first 50 is BM geared and all my alts are completely geared out for their level and I have around 5 million credits on my main and about 200k each per alt.

The only thing I do for credits are missions, pvp, selling blue or better loot, selling grade 5 and 6 blue or better metals.

Hell, even when my 50 started gearing out with champion gear, I switched my craft from cybertech (I had tons of blue/purp recipes) and went to biochem and got all my rakata which cost a good 1 mil creds.

I feel the same way about credits. Not really much of a significance right now, but I feel that way because I've never been credit starved.

Edit: Haven't played for a week, I'm feeling restless. Stupid work!

Well, the new Crystal vendor is a definitely a money sink. Cheapest is 125k and it climbs up from there.

 

[Canbacon]

I guess, I'm part of the 0.001% for credits.

Though, I'm really looking forward to the tweaks on RE. Very frustrating to get 20 "You already know this schematic" when looking for the last RE. It took me 400-500 blues to get the purple schematic I wanted.

For the crystal stats that are on sale, they are cheap. Though I didn't check if they were BoE or not. Fore sure the 2.5mill white is BoP.

It is either buying them or do Kaon farming then ripping the crystals off of the weapon drop.

Yeah, I'm about to become part of the 80%. 2.5 million for a non-gimped white!

Oh man, this would be very nice. Hate that damn message, so frustrating knowing you finally procced a recipe...only to have it be one you already have.

I think my favorite part about making creds in this game is it doesn't take me a gigantic time sink. Just logging in 30mins a day is enough to craft, mission, and put things on the market. That way when I actually have playtime, I don't have to waste it farming.

from today's Q&A:

Note: we are removing the faction limitations on sending mail to yourself to facilitate this.

glad I didn't break down and level artificing on my jedi

That is good news. Now I can give my smuggler some love. He's only made it to level 17 since launch.

 

[darkewaffle]

I hadn't seen that they're allowing same account inter-faction mail, that's much appreciated by me at least.

I quite like a lot of what they've done with 1.1.5 and I think 1.2 will bring a lot of good updates. I definitely echo the desire for RE alterations though; "You already know this schematic" is such a buzzkill especially when trying to get that one purple pattern you really want.

I'm really hoping they add some sort of item to add augment slots to certain items though once the 'crit crafting' of moddable (orange) gear is implemented. It'd actually fit well with the 'artifice' profession I'd think; but whether it's an item or an NPC I'm just hoping there's some sort of mechanic for it // or a more complete assortment of craftable gear available so that you can 'match' if you care to.

Actually in retrospect you can only currently craft orange helms, chests, and leg pieces so maybe the plan is to leave those spots to crit crafting and giving one of the professions a "belt buckle" (a la WoW) which would allow them to place augment slots only in gloves/boots.

Finally got some game time last night and played some WZs.

First, did the Operative get a buff? I was opening with HS in the 4.5-5.3 range all over the place while I remember only doing 3.6-4 before.

Second, what is with the WZ crashing? About half the warzones left me in the character selection screen.

Finally, I love buying BM tokens, FINALLY, I can finish my set.

And resolve still sucks. Each Operative cc takes resolve to 60-85% so I can at most CC someone 2 times, while other's CC takes fills maybe 25% of resolve with some CC never even affecting resolve.

Oh god, a lot of people seemed to be having this issue. Worse when you're queueing from Belsavis dailies and you have the loooong loadscreen just to log in again.

Just happened to me. Was rocking the Republic hard in Void. About to go on defense and then bam.

 

[s44]

Sort of hard to read, but informative...

Yes, a huge proportion of Imperials *are* Tracer-spamming baddies.

 

[nageov3t]

doesn't surprise me that Sith Inquisitors are so popular... imho, they're the easiest to play of all the Jedis (at least sorcerers).

I can go through most solo quests only using 1-2 buttons.

Agree, my sorcerer makes easy work of both PvE and PvP. To me, it's easy mode compared to my marauder which takes a lot of work.

Yeah, that's the problem with that stat. I have multiple 50s and keep most of my credits on 1 toon then just send as needed.

Also it's misleading (as seen in some above posts) just because most people don't see the point in trying to get more credits.

Let me put a shock collar on a Jawa and ride him around and I'll gladly dump 1+ million for that mount. The rest is just meh. Plus I have the HM drop that was free anyway.

anyone know off the top of their head what level the legacy "surname" is achieved?

I think you just have to complete your main storyline. I got mine around 37 I think.

Low to mid 30s typically.

this, its whenever you finish your first set of class quests (act 1 i think some people call it). level is irrelevant.
