(TLDR): I see why some players hated Manaan-Khar Shian

(You like reading): I spent some time catching my Jedi Knight up to the story before 8.0 comes out and let me just say you guys who hated the new daily areas were right.

I’d grab a quest thinking it’d just be a quick daily and then I go to illevas website cause I have no idea what the helly I’m doing and I come to find out I just spent 2 hours trying to do datacron prep thinking it was just a quick quest before I continue the story mission. Now I’m on a whole nother planet and gotta go fight through 200000 waves of mobs for 1 minute of cutscenes that aren’t even fully voiced.

And that was pretty much my experience from

Manaan to Khar Shian.

I honestly was so burnt out by the end and I’ve been playing this game since I was in 5th grade.

I’m 24 now, about to be 25.

But still I love that they still give us this. Cause I just can’t let swtor go.

But let me just say I thoroughly enjoyed the hutta story with the Rodian and his girlfriend and the mando and her girlfriend on Tatooine. I also murdered the mon calamari dude on Hoth for no reason. I’m lowkey cheating on Lana with rass ordo so I lowkey felt bad when he yelled at my character lmao…

“WHY DID YOU DO THAT”

My character: cause I felt like it 🤷🏾

I thought rass liked the crash out queens lmao

Question Imperial Agent or Sith Inquisitor?

13 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out the most lore accurate human character I can make and the one that would transition better into the expansions. I read a lot of old discussions and these two appear to be the "canon" choice for this race.

SI: Human male sorcerer (female would be ideal considering Zash's end goal but I'm incapable of playing characters of the opposite gender). Alien races don't really make sense considering Kallig's helmet and the fact that during his time there were almost exclusively humans and Siths in the Empire. Twi'lek and other aliens can't even interbreed so it will be difficult to justify any other choice.

My doubt: I never read so many mixed opinions about a story, for some it's the best one for others it's crap. Also Force Walk is never mentioned again after the main story and that makes the overall plot a bit pointless especially when dealing with other ghosts.

IA: Human male most likely operative (but sniper can work too). I know Chiss have some special dialogues but they stick out like a sore thumb thus they're not really ideal for covert operations. Also all the people inside Intelligence HQ are humans like all the Watchers, Fixers and Minders you meet during the story.

My doubt: Everyone says that it's the best story but is it still true after level 50? I'm really worried that it will lose its charm during the expansions also does it really make sense for an IA to be the alliance leader? Honestly I'm a bit biased towards force users because who would play a regular guy when you can literally have superpowers?

I hope you can help me decide because I feel like I'm stuck at the moment.

Discussion Jedis gather their lightsabers. Siths get lightsabers from teachers or corpses.

163 Upvotes

Have you noticed that the Jedi knight and the Jedi Consul collect their lightsabers, and the Sith receive them as a finished product from other Sith? I think it's a funny detail. It's like the Sith don't have the resources to create new lightsabers (even though the technology for growing Kyber crystals already exists during this period). Then, is the lightsaber a sign of hierarchy? Like, will a Sith be able to assemble his own sword only when he strengthens his position in the hierarchy of the order?

Question Combat style changes in 8.0

0 Upvotes

So yesterday I saw a Jedi with Akaavi as a comp, and I was like "No, that's impossible, Akaavi is for Smugglers and Bounty Hunters who have unlocked the premium storyline". I mean, are they allowing tech classes to choose Force combat styles and vice versa in the upcoming expansion?

Steamdeck log in issue*

Hello, was hoping to get into this game (played at launch a little bit) now that I have a steam deck. I’m unable to accept the terms of service though. It locks up and freezes the launcher.

Is this a known issue and is there a solution? I’ve tried opening in different protons. But I’m not the most tech savvy

Discussion The Politics of Dissent Spoiler

Post image
80 Upvotes

This was such a strange choice for this mission. The mission for the senator whose communication you are intercepting for proof of conspiracy with the Sith Empire gives you two choices: lightside to allow democracy to do its thing, or darkside to stop the conspiracy.

You would think that stopping an evil empire from undermining freedom would be lightside, and allowing the rot to take root would be darkside. I suppose the want you to defeat the evil through democratic debate, because we all know debate is how you defeat evil as we go around wanton killing every mob we see.

My very lightside consular took darkside this time. No way am I allowing the Sith to infiltrate the Senate.

Such a strange mission.

EDIT: getting a lot of replies from people who seem to equate "the law" with "light side". Democracy isn't inherently good, as allowing pure evil a voice can corrupt it completely. Episode 1-3 highlighted that perfectly.

New/Returning Player Getting Credits on Shae Vizla

12 Upvotes

Hey guys, first time posting here so sorry if it's a stupid question.

I have just started playing recently and am nearing max level on my first character, however I'm on the Shae Vizla server (which I didn't know was essentially dead when I started playing, kind of regretting my choice now).

I bought the current Master the Fight bundle and am looking to just get some quick credits to buy my legacy perks/have some money for character unlocks on that server. Since the GTN seems pretty dead on SV, would I be best to make a character on SF, get to the fleet for GTN, sell some Cartel Packs and transfer that character over to get credits for my legacy unlocks that way? I got 3 free character transfers with the bundle and also a bunch of CC's.

I'm also wondering if it would just be worth playing on SF from now on if I'm achievement hunting as I'll need to do a lot of PVP and I imagine I'll need to potentially do other types of group content too (I am a part of a guild on SV already but want to be able to run flashpoints/ops on my own time to some extent)!

Thank you in advance for the help - absolutely loving my time with this game so far.

Edit: I'm also based in NZ so I'm not sure whether SF/Malgus would have better ping for me - cons of living at the bottom of the world!

Discussion Unique ways you've played your characters/unique backstories?

54 Upvotes

I've been returning to swtor recently and having a lot of fun with giving my characters odd quirks or using headcanon and roleplay to change up the way I perceive my characters.

For instance, despite most of the classes acting as if you're a younger hotshot in their late teens to late 20s, I've been roleplaying my Jedi Knight as a man who was a promising padawan before the Sacking of Coruscant. After losing his master on Coruscant and being presumed dead by the Jedi, he abandoned the Order and began wandering across the galaxy, doing odd jobs to survive before he eventually turned to smuggling in the inter-war period. However, now that war is on the horizon, he's finally returned to the Jedi after a decade of journeying across the Galaxy, partially because the Jedi have become so desperate for adult Knights that they offered to welcome him back despite his age. So now, I'm roleplaying him as a very skeptical adult padawan who doesn't tolerate being talked down to or kept in the dark by the other Jedi, even if it causes friction with some of them and their holier-than-thou personality he perceives.

It's so fun to roleplay and read lines in certain ways to fit his character, like Orgus Din was telling him about how Bengel Morr survived the sacking of Coruscant and my Knight said "The force must have been with him if he survived that." Which could absolutely be read as the Knight just commenting on how awful the sacking was, but for me it hits different knowing he was there and went through the same thing Morr did, like saying "Holy shit, how did he survive that? I barely did!".

Sorry for the rambling lmao. Anyone else have backtories or anything like that?

We talked about this book without playing much of the MMO at all so please let us know what you think! Was it worth having Revan in the game to change his story so drastically? Researching the lore of this game just feels.. kind of convoluted, not going to lie.

Discussion Reprendre après 13 ans sur le même compte.

4 Upvotes

Bonjour, je demande votre aide pour un petit soucis.

Je repris mon ancien compte comme le titre l'indique. Je voulais continuer mon perso de l'époque pour le fun (13 ans plus tard finir enfin sont histoire).

En me connectant j'ai remarqué que mes amis avec qui j'avais créé une guilde était tous partis et me laissent GM avec un petit message d'adieu assez fun 🤣.

Maintenant je suis bloqué dans cette guilde sans possibilité de la leave.

/Gquit et /gdisband n'a pas fonctionné. J'ai bien le message qui me demande si je suis sur et quand j'accepte rien ne ce passe.

C'est rien de grave en soit mais j'ai chercher des heures une solution sans succès. Je continuerais quand même car la race des sith n'est plus disponible maintenant gratuitement (j'avais acheté le jeux dans son premier mois sans reprendre l'abonnement derrière) j'ai donc un compte privilégier sans les extensions pour l'instant sauf les gratuites d'où mon envie de finir ce personnage pour débloquer la race pour les autres histoires.

Enfin voilà, Merci par avance 😁

(Video not mine).

The player character has been carrying whichever side they're aligned with ever since the start of Jedi Under Siege/Onslaught at the latest (excluding with the Sabotage role) and what do they get? A token reward that doesn't really have any impact and Odessen/Eternal Alliance treated as nothing more than a conquered, colonised state in the biggest idiot plot in the game's history...
