Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

[Rulke]

After forging my light saber (republic) I fought and died to the forge guardian. I left to go run CoS with a group. Is there any advantage to going back to the forge and trying to kill the forge guardian?

Forge guardian is one of those "optional" quests that pop up once you get your lightsaber. Nothing required.

I rerolled on Bondar with EternityEnd and got my Operative to 15. They moved a few NPC's and quests around to make the story more linear and less confusing.

Going on vacation and decided to get a laptop so I'm not bored. Think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834230206 could run the game? I don't know shit about laptops.

This game really needs multi cores more than anything else.

Buddy and I hit 50 10-12 hours ago. Let's just say that the Trooper epilogue is a big letdown compared to the Consular one (I went into his class quest area and helped him with it). Tank + DPS and x2 healer companions is complete beast mode; we duoed every single heroic and flashpoint (except War Games flashpoint) from 10 to 50.

This is a horrible experience. Log on to update launcher, works fine. Then i go to log into website to verify code and my password dont work. All of the sudden my password dont work on the launcher either. Cant call, get a message, cant go on forums cuz my password magically dont work now.

Write your password down and screenshot your security questions and put in your dropbox/cloud storage folder.

50 in retail version? Already?

Yeah, what can I say, I like the game. A lot. Granted, it's a lot easier to sit around and level for long periods of time when you're playing with a friend.

Man, there's so much stuff to do at max level: level 50 normal mode flash points, hard mode flash points (starting from Esseles), nightmare mode flash points, dailies for badges, 2 (maybe 3?) 8/16 man operations, datacron hunting, Ilum, etc. Even with just two people, we find a lot of content is open to us without a full group at 50.

Also, I really like the mod system, lol. I ended up just stealing mods from various armor and putting them into my armor set so I don't have to walk around looking like a complete clown:

I heard both classes had a good story, and since I am playing Consular right now I'm glad to hear it has a nice epilogue to boot. There are so many quests (at least on the lower level planets) that it is very easy to over level them. I did every single quest in Taris... even the bonus events after you finish the main class quest there, and I hit 25 yesterday... heading to Nar Shaddaa today when I log on. And that was with very little grinding, the only thing I repeated a few times where the heroic 4 instances, and there are only 2 in Taris I think with like 3 heroic 2's.

And no it does not surprise me one bit that you can hit 50 in a week or two. I think almost every major MMO that just came out or will come out within a year or two you will be able get to max level within a week or two... of course probably some insane hours put in. Especially a tank a healer combo. Another game that comes to mind is TERA, I think you can get to max wihtin a week or two as well. Hell I'm not even trying and I already hit the halfway point (obviously not in terms of actual exp, just the level).

[vrumpt]

I honestly wish there weren't levels in this game simply because it is SOOO easy to overlevel an area. There are so many places where I wanted to finish up the quests to get the quest rewards or explore some more but I felt compelled not to because I wanted to hit the next planet at least somewhere in the same level range. That and anytime I do a space mission or pvp i feel dirty because those are really easy ways to jettison above your level range (but its so much fun!). At least i'll have plenty to return to complete once I hit 50.

[Ezek]

Yeah, I didn't grind at all on the way to 50, it was pure questing and class storyline exp. I still haven't touched PvP yet on live but I have tried the space battles out a few times and didn't really like it all too much.

edit: lol @ being able to board party member ships:

Takes me back to my days with Rift... Those were good days, when I could finally play. It'll die down eventually. I'm thinking about rolling each character class on a different server when GW2 comes out so I'll always have somewhere to play.

[Ohemgee]

I was already 50 on Rift and doing T1 dungeons, but I'm only 35 trying to catch up on other shit. D:

[Ohemgee]

I did the Jedi Prisoner flashpoints (teral v and maelstorm) - holy shit what a plot twist

[Siya]

Another quick question about companions. I saw the list of available companions but when looking at the classes it lists "Known associates", so my question is does each class have a set companion or can you get any of them?
