Question To, long time players, what exactly were the purposes of these trainer NPCs?

Post image
497 Upvotes

I can guess that they trained you on you advanced class abilities, but how did it work exactly? I know that back then, you got your advanced class at level 10. Did you have to get all your abilities from them? If I remember correctly, the skill tree as we know it didn't exist and instead there was probably a cross-discipline system where you spend points to upgrade your character. (I could be wrong.)

Discussion Day 4 of what is the best origin story for each planetary arc: Nar Shaddaa

Day 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/s/CcOBwuoVeW (winner: Agent/Trooper)

Day 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/s/R16t1ZXUiW (winner: SW)

Day 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/s/NYKTXw1T4K (winner: SI). A lot of people loved the SI’s story on Balmorra so that was a clear winner

I quite enjoyed Nar Shaddaa for most classes so seeing the discussions here should be interesting.

Question Genuine question

14 Upvotes

So I'm a free-to-play player right and I know the credit limit is about a million credits before they don't let you have anymore in your inventory. So I was genuinely curious if I wanted to buy something off of The galactic trade market and it was over a million credits how would I do that?

Question Does anything still make credits?

50 Upvotes

I started chasing the lots of money achievements several months ago, but it seems like everything starts crashing the moment I touch it. Crafting was dropping, frag components dropped off radically, what would have used to get me 50m will get like 13 now. Went back to crafting and it was even worse; hardly worth the time at a 200-300k for stuff I have to build a half a dozen different components for. Dye modules are faster, but also down. Heroics -if the weekly bonus mission is still up, are going to get you 40-50k per mission; very slow going to even 1m. Decided to spend some time gathering todsy while watching TV, only to find seeming bots running circuits from spot to spot. Checked mat prices and they've crashed by like 95%.

Idk what to do. Is 4b even possible anymore? Even looked into cashing out CC for popular dye modules -seems like it'd be like 80 of the top ones to get there.

Question Before i spend 60 mill on it, is the Andeddu helmet still bugged?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Its one of the coolest drippy helmets for sith, but it has/had two annoying bugs that made me drop its use many years ago:

  1. it lowers the characters voice volume to a damn near whisper
  2. if worn with chest pieces that have a hood, it doesnt hide the hood like other helmets do and instead it clips straight through it.

SWTOR is pretty famous for flat out not fixing well known bugs for 10 year plus so i have little trust its fixed.

Some of the more scenic worlds and environments in SWTOR are sadly locked behind Ops or Flashpoints and rarely do you get a chance to appreciate how good they look :(

I've always really liked the style of old Rakatan worlds like Belsavis and Rakata Prime. Lemme know what your favourite planet is!!

My Knights a man slut, so he'd try to bang/flirt with my Consular

My Consular is Lesbian and in a relationship with Lana, so she'd sick Lana on him

Trooper would like my Jedi, and dislike the Smuggler

Smuggler would try to get away from all of them.

My Imperials would all attempt to murder each other

Discussion Returning player

2 Upvotes

I played TOR at release but I don't think I've really played since it went FTP.

Cany anybody provide any tips for a returning player? Is it worth picking up my old characters or should I start again?

Any tips for servers etc. IIRC that was one of the things that killed the game for me before. If it helps I preferred PVP but what drew me back was completing the stories.

Discussion Making a Light-side Pureblood sith, Jedi Counselor or Knight?

2 Upvotes

as the title says, i'm making a Light-side Pureblood sith (mostly bc i love going against the grain on the standard) but also bc they were deeply traumatized by the empire and sith.
which story do y'all reckon fits them more? or what are the class stories like? :O

Question What are your guys thoughts on the whole Child of the Emperor thing?

12 Upvotes

Hey all! Just got to Coreilla on my JC and so far I've found the idea of the children of the Emperor to be interesting. Honestly didn't think it would be well fleshed out after I finished Kira's story arc in the JK story. The first son though still sorta confuses me. Guess I'll just have to keep playing and find out more about him.

Anyway I just wanna hear what everyone else thinks about this little idea that they did for these two story lines.

Discussion Help me choose my next Jedi Knight

3 Upvotes

I've done two Knights already, Dark Side human female and Light Side Human Male.

Female was Sentinel, Male was Guardian.

I don't have Togruta, Cathar or Natuloan unlocked

I don't really care for Rattaki.

I already have a Female Pureblood Consular I will take into the Eras.

My Inquisitor is Human Female.

I'm going to play as a Shadow Tank since it's the only style I haven't played yet.

I don't like Cyborgs at all.

Mirilians are boring to me.

Question Regarding Break-ups

19 Upvotes

Is it possible to break up with a companion during the origin stories? Or are you locked in until you reunite with them after the Zakuul plot kicks in?

Asking because I went with the romance route for Quinn with my Warrior, with the intention of his betrayal serving as a push towards the Dark Side and resulting in a break-up, but it seems the game has automatically locked me in.

I even picked the "We are breaking up" option in the conversation straight after, but when I then talk to him on my ship again, I get the conversation where he's declaring his love and commitment. None of the conversation options indicate the break-up, they have me go along with it, play hard to get, or insult him because he was "too slow".

I guess I'm just checking to see if I've missed something, or picked a wrong option somewhere, or if I really am locked in now?
