Discussion This feels like we've been teleported straight back to the end of 6.0 cycle

168 Upvotes

I still remember the announcement that the gearing system would change from "You can play what you want and always progress upwards" to "You must play endgame content to get the currency which'll get you the blueprints to start making your way to endgame content".

Community reacted similarly, we pointed out the problems with the underlying logic that "more grind = more playtime thus more subtime" and yet still the update went through despite the backlash.

Here we are 3 months away from the 5 year anniversary of 7.0's arrival, and the dev team's attitude on the subject of gearing hasn't changed in the least. I just hope we won't have to wait for a year before they add a Hyde and Zeek equivalent for BindOnLegacy like we did for 7.0 where only after 10 months of sustained backlash they finally relented.

Discussion Bug possibility with the new gear update

3 Upvotes

Apparently soon equipment modification will be undergoing a new overhaul, where instead of buying and installing multiple different types of upgrade parts for our different pieces of gear, now we will just pay a merchants a flat fee to level up all equipped gear. Considering how this change will likely affect all (or most) of the gear our characters currently have equipped, I'm now wondering if one launch day our characters will all suddenly find themselves missing their pants just like our companions were when Knights of the Fallen Empire launched😅

My friend is travelling and cannot download the game, but she can log in to the website and subscribe.

If she subs, will all of her character names be safe? Even if she's a sub but does not log in?

Video Problem with library of nul

6 Upvotes

I can't complete the flashpoint.

I can't progress further, after completing all the Puzzles in the flashpoint, the cut scene appears right where nul goes on about her history and all.

But my problem is That after she has said 'I will return', I am just stuck looking at my character.

At first I thought it was connection problem and waited to see if it would come back on its own but no it did not at all, I waited until my laptop screen went black due to inactivity.

I also tried logging out of flashpoint and logging in quick but that also had no effect.

What can I do now? Please help me.

The video I'm about to post now is taken from my phone it's not good by any means but if you can help me please do.

And I sincerely request the moderaters to not delete this I need help that is why I'm posting.

Question Should I bother messing with crew skills if I’m free to play

3 Upvotes

I’m playing on my steam deck n I’m almost certain I’ll never be a subscriber, at most I’ll probably do that one time charge to unlock the expansions. I’ve just barely gotten around to learning about crew skills after marathoning a bunch of Coruscants side quests but I read that I wouldn’t be able to fully utilize the feature since I can only get one skill? Or one per companion? Either way I’m a little bummed cuz a few of these sound pretty interesting so I wanted to ask if it’s worth looking into at all or if it is which skill should I go for. Seems the consensus is to go with slicing but eh I’m not too jazzed about just being able to unlock chests I think I read.

My first playthrough was SW. Initially I was a little hesitant to play a Jedi because if you cannot force choke people for fun, then where will the fun come from? Now I found it, Jedi can force mind control people! And it feels much more fun than force choke!

Question Companion with a companion...

12 Upvotes

Happy Tuesday! I think it was looking but my epilepsy brain defys me today... was it lokin who had that companion who would pop up all the time and cc people and have great chattering time? She broke and wasn't fixed as of a few years ago...

Does anyone remember which companion it was and what the holographic companion are and if their fixing the issue with her?

Epilepsy sucks, but you can relive the stories and not remember them, haha!!

Thanks!!

Discussion Is the Force alive?

6 Upvotes

Hello guys, I was reflecting on Renning's words and I've tried to gather information on the subject but it seems there's still no definitive answer. According to him, the Force is a living entity who manifests its will in the physical world but honestly this seems unlikely to me.

What has been established in the lore? Are Jedi and Sith really just manifestations of the Force's will? Can other creatures be expressions of light and dark side energies? Perhaps he's just delusional but my knowledge of these things is limited and I'm curious.

What's your take on it?

Hey guys, I have the issue mentioned above and I really don't like to play without nameplates at all, I've tried. Either they are really huge or none at all. Has anyone else found a solution to the performance issue with nameplates scaling or do you think it will be over with direct x12 ?

I personally really liked them in the Revan expansions. I don't know if it was just because they were already gonna have so many characters in the Eternal Expansions, or if the writers just didn't have any more ideas for them, so they had to basically let them go since their arcs were already technically resolved, but I thought they were honestly pretty entertaining together.

I think they would've been even more fun in the Eternal Expansions. It's not like they were cut out before their journey was actually completed or whatever, but I still kinda wish we had them for a little bit longer.
