Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=Pops;50630119][sp]nothing wrong with a fett in the old republic times, iirc they made jango an actual mandalorian with the new canon, and not a dude from concord dawn who was taken in by mandalorians. it could also just be someone else with the name, or simply an ancestor who also happened to follow the mandalorian way.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]One of character in The Clone Wars says Fett isn't a true Mandalorian or something[/sp] [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=jonoPorter;50629837][sp]I assume you have not played the Bounty Hunter story? Because there is a Fett on Taris too which I assume is the same one as in that chapter.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Khomo Fett?[/sp] [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=jackattack;50630180]Its fine, but it rubs me the wrong way and feels a little off in some cases for fanservices sake. Like Fetts still being relevant 4000 years later, or house Organa still being in a seat of power 4000 years later.[/QUOTE] Might not be the same Organas, could be a cadet branch that took the name. They could have fallen from power sometime in that 4000 years, but came back into power later. I agree though, it sometimes feels like Fanservice

At least it's not bad fan service.

Fett is already a thing prior to KOTFE and TOR though. In kotor we had Cassus Fett's armor and he was in EU comics [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] In the bounty hunter line you meet a fett also I think

I have not done the Bounty Hunter story yet. [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] The Fett in the new KOTFE chapter isn't the same one from the Bounty Hunter story from a quick googling.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/r93sUz1.png[/img] here's my new light-side leaning sith sorcerer I made for the event, "Beetol" He's got a Luke Skywalker RotJ saber (Blademaster hilt/Desert Green crystal) and Purple/Green (CE dye) on Juhani's Robes. [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] Should've upped the graphics, Im on medium I forgot to using a backup PC instead of my usual [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] My dark side sith assassin has purple/green Thexan (Arcann's Brother robes that look identical to Arcann's), might wear that on this one later but I'm not at KOTFE yet and I don't feel right wearing KOTFE era clothes in main story, Blademaster saber being an exception (for some reason the knights of zakuul have the same hilt as Obi-wan's RotS and Luke's RotJ)

It bothers me that the Light vs Dark crates can only be used on the event characters, I hope the same doesn't apply to all the other rewards. [editline]2nd July 2016[/editline] I really need more stuff for my Sith Juggernaut [img_thumb]https://a.pomf.cat/igfrnq.png[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50627084]Anyone participating in the new SWTOR event? Apparently they're tracking light/dark decisions and the more chosen will decide how Arcann's defeat will play out or something. Picking mostly light because I think light should always prevail canonically, even though I'm usually a Dark chooser [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] Wish me luck that one of my event lock boxes has Revan reborn in it! Really hoping so. [editline]1st July 2016[/editline] I also really want the crossguard saber.. Throw my Luke skywalker green in that shit[/QUOTE] What event is this? I don't see anything about an event like this on the site Nevermind. I was on the events page and it wasn't there, but it's on the main page. Seems like a good excuse to do a story or two I haven't completed yet, especially since side quests are no longer required, enjoying the stories is better than ever. No more do one class quest, then 10 sides to level up to required level for the next class quest, forgetting what you were even doing in the story. Been my favorite TOR change to date

The state of Battlefront, ladies and gents [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/drNbD9P.jpg[/img_thumb] The game lasted 2 minutes. This guy has videos and reports dating back to early May, too. So bravo, EA. The ONE redeeming quality of Battlefront was the Turning Point game mode, and I just get put into the same game with the same aimbots with infinite Jetpack because no server browser. I've already uninstalled the game

For someone who is just doing story and solo quests, not queues, as inquisitor, what advanced class would you recommend?

[QUOTE=TheTalon;50635052]The state of Battlefront, ladies and gents[/QUOTE] Oh yea, I met him yesterday (and weeks before that). You'd think Dice would have added some form of votekick by now.

You'd think he would get permabanned by now.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50635846]For someone who is just doing story and solo quests, not queues, as inquisitor, what advanced class would you recommend?[/QUOTE] Casting vs Stealth. Heal vs Tank. Lightsaber vs saberstaff. Sorcerer vs Assassin [editline]2nd July 2016[/editline] I have an assassin as my main and while I love the gameplay I kinda wish I picked Sorc so I could heal and use a single blade saber. Assassin has more DPS tho iirc. You can go into stealth mode and utilize high damage attacks, DoTS etc. I would go into stealth, jab someone to stun them then backstab them a few times, use an area of effect attack that boosts my damage over time spells (DOTS) then use those and every once in awhile it would let me activate my finisher on full health enemies. Raw Dps with optional tanking I'd say assassin. If you wanna be able to use healing moves or want to use a single saber, Sorc. Sorc also has ranged dps instead of melee like assassin I believe.

I think I'll go assassin then. This beautiful hunk is him. [t]https://i.imgur.com/ONxexN1.png[/t] [editline]2nd July 2016[/editline] Which spec though? Hatred or Deception?

I recommend hatred. It's what I used and when someone asked my guild master which to go they said hatred is best.

There we go, my Sith [t]https://i.imgur.com/QJ9dnjK.png[/t]

that fuckers huge also, black talon? :v: for some reason I always do that instead of taking the shuttle

Yeah, its good for XP and loot. Also they finally fixed that line one! Don't know when, but woo. The last time you talk to the droid, NR-O2, before returning to the Black Talon, he used to say "You need to return to the [B]Brentaal Star[/B]" instead of Black Talon. He finally says Black Talon, though you can tell the dialogue was recorded later, it just doesn't sound the same. It was like that for years, I'm guessing they fixed it with KOTFE

This is my assassin [t]https://i.imgur.com/DOIhLs7.jpg[/t] [t]https://i.imgur.com/5973YBh.png[/t] I also get really roleplay-ie with my strongholds and companions [t]http://i.imgur.com/FaiTuWo.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/JfeYGa3.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/1dNenkX.jpg[/t] [editline]2nd July 2016[/editline] I made a post of all my characters for a reddit "Post your screenshots and referral link" 2 months ago. [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/4eveq5/community_post_screenshot_and_referral_weekend/d24tk3w[/url] I like to give a theme/make my chars unique. Also if anyone doesn't have a sub and wants to try it for 7 days and wants to help a guy out my link is there at the bottom. I don't think anyones ever used it.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50635846]For someone who is just doing story and solo quests, not queues, as inquisitor, what advanced class would you recommend?[/QUOTE] Sorc is ranged and caster heavy. Lightning, AoE lightning from the sky, some DoT's and spike damage all at range, and has some pocket heals, or can go full healer Assassin is basically the opposite. Shares a lot of the skills, but much closer range, and the spike damage is melee focused (Except for one tree which can spike and heavily DoT at short range) You'll have an easier time as Sorc for sure, but if you get hard from looking at Darth Maul then, you know, assassin

The stealth utility automatically makes solo play easier tbh Plus the DPS output of the DoTS build for assassin is great Sorc afaik only gets praise because in pvp he's supposedly op as fuck, I believe as a healer

He can be worn down and killed. The sorc on the other hand can just sit there and keep itself alive all day every day while being able to dish out damage

Have you not played in awhile? Companions are pretty powerful now and can be manually set for DPS, Tank or healing roles, on the fly [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] It's almost impossible to die with a companion in story missions, especially if you have lots of Presence. [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] Plus assassin has a few emergency health regain attacks. I got the "one and only" achievement on him, I can vouch that he's not particularly hard to use in solo pve [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] I was also very useful to my team in pve raids, I was able to bypass a ton of mobs using the stealth and unlocking a checkpoint. I did the same to avoid other undesirable fights and cheese heroics with friends

In a group, no problem, alone, a bunch of toss. Especially since the companions kind of sucked

Ah well they reformed the way comps work when KOTFE released so now it's pretty easy to survive All companions are reskins of each other (only difference between I think is weapon type) and share the same statistics, and can do all 3 roles of your choice. [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] I'd bet you could play naked with max Presence.

Here's something I've been working on: [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-legacy[/url] It's currently in beta, and my testers seem to be enjoying it so far (though there are clearly some tweaks I need to make before it goes live - one such issue is that the CIS can hammer the Republic in hard difficulty thanks to the Assault Droid's E-5C)

I love the inquisitor "If betrayal shows up, I'll kill it"

one last question; how big is the download for TOR?

uhh vanilla is iirc about 20gb, dunno how much more with kotfe and the other expansions.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50644689]I love the inquisitor "If betrayal shows up, I'll kill it"[/QUOTE] Honestly probably best character lol I played him 80% dark on my first one and it's great, replaying it with light side choices for the event and I'm like some twisted Jesus. Chapter 1 inquisitor nar shadaa spoilers [sp]theres literally a part with your own cult admiring you and they ask you what to teach and the light side choice is pretty much Jesus' message[/sp] [editline]4th July 2016[/editline] [sp]its actually really weird how messiac he is if you make all light/kind choices, very different from all asshole choices[/sp]

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;50644824]one last question; how big is the download for TOR?[/QUOTE] Not sure how big the download is, but the folder after all is installed is 33.3GB. That's with KotFE, Revan and Hutt
