That sounds like a proper nightmare to balance and maintain. Also would probably wreck any feeling of uniqueness to each class. Would work if the game was not MMO where other people exist, maybe. Also, how do you imagine shooting abilities would work if you were wielding a blade?

I assume he understands "some" English/French/German (otherwise, how the heck does he play?), but got lost in the full conversation? Because if he does not understand the dialogue at all, why would it matter to him what option to pick? Just mash random buttons or go by the LS/DS indicators

Whenever I get Esseless or BT, I simply ask "everyone okay with skipping?", most people are usually fine with it. Simply asking instead of throwing a hissy fit or ragequitting works wonders. Though I do tend to leave when I get it three times in a row, because it is simply boring to do the same thing over and over

In case any of the devs are still watching this thread ( @JackieKo ), I am very much convinced the root of this problem is that SWTOR website payment processor does not use 3D Secure Payments, which is now required by EU regulation for all payments (since something like end of October/early November) This is the reason why Paypal, Steam, etc work (they are all compliant with the directive). Might be worth looking into, you are likely to see influx of EU players having the problem, as their auto-renewals start failing

Yeah, Steam would be alternative, I guess, but I kinda liked giving all the money to EA (foolish notion, I know, it is not like all the money goes back into the game anyway), not having Steam shave off their 30% (plus SWTOR has payment is my currency, Steam has it in Euros)

Malgus killing her on Imperial side does not really take, so she probably does survive even on Pub Side, just does not show up later. I think Imps killing Gnost is much bigger "problem" that does not offer easy resolving

Quite easily, yes. Usually to end up at level 100 with 70 or so weekly objectives

Then pick literally any one from the other Mando helmets? They do go nicely with the rest of the set as well. People wanted lekku armor for as long as the game has been out, and now we finally got it. I might even play my Twi'lek Huntress idea I had rattling around my head for over a year.

TIL a new word. But yeah, the amount of people I hear/read whining about playing a powerpoint in not insignificant

That looks like the problem, SWTOR not using 3DSecure payments, which is what I was told by my bank (MFA and 3DSecure are the same thing I believe) I am aware of other possibilities of payment (for now, I am on the one-time 60 day sub, which went through, probably because it does not high enough price tag), but I really do like paying through SWTOR.com because it charges me directly in my currency not in Euros (and the amount has been stable, regardless of exchange rates shifts), so I would really welcome SWTOR website team to enable it in whatever payment processor they are using (EA has it in other purchases, and it pretty much is industry standard these days)

Just to confirm (or debunk) what I said (payment getting blocked due to EU regulation demanding MFA going into effect sometime around November), can you try calling your bank and inquire why the payment did not go through?

The regulation existed for a while, yes, but like with all EU regulations, it took time to come fully to effect. My bank told me it went into its full effect last month (the prior payment this year went through no problem), so yeah, your October payment would go through. The bank can literally see why the payment was blocked, and if it says "not MFA verified" in their system, then it is likely that.

TLDR: My 6-month sub did not autorenew, because bank blocked it due to EU regulation. All payments made on SWTOR.com over certain value (I tried the 6m subscription I always had since game started, the one time 60day worked) are getting blocked by EU banks. Talking to my bank, it seems the problem lies in the new EU regulation that went into effect somewhere around last month or so, that requires banks to use MFA (multi-factor authentication) on all payments above certain level (not sure it exists in US, but it is that little web page popping up when paying online, asking you to confirm payment with an mobile app/code) Problem is, payments done through SWTOR.com do to use this method, which causes the bank to block it. And there apparently isn't anything they can do about it. Presumably, the alternative would be to buy through PayPal, though buying through SWTOR.com would be much more preferable, as the site has regional pricing, rather than relying on constantly shifting exchange rates Are the developers aware of this problem, and are there some plans to fix this situation? Probably should be something in the payment processor SWTOR.com is using. @JackieKo@CommunityTeam

I think you just need the average rating to be 322? So getting 2 of the 326 implants helps a lot

Losing outfits is not a change that is coming to live, it is simply how server transfer work. Just like you cannot copy over mailbox and stuff. And apparently some abilities (like interrupt) get removed when they should not,

Btw, if Jackie or someone else from devteam reads this, do we need only the "average" IR (the big number in equipment sheet) to be 322, or is it "322 at minimum" on all pieces? (I assume it is the average one, just checking)

Do you have enough space in your inventory? That particular issue stumped me all the way through Rishi

While I concur Commando just feels terribly boring until higher levels, I had quite good experience with Shadow (I only boosted from early 70s to 80 to skip the boring chapters of KOTFE/ET). I had decent number of abilities to keep me busy in combat, and it felt like what the class archetype should represent in my mind. Though admittedly, i have not played Live version of Shadow/Sin on lower levels for maybe 6 years of so, so I may not have particularly good baseline to compare to.

Renown creates are being removed from the game, just like the entire renown system is. So better open those crates before it rolls into Live

Pretty sure they will just be tracking the achievements Jackie mentioned. So just Mek-Sha. If not, there is going to be a lot of unhappy people, I would guess

FWIW, I don't think you have to run Elom to get any of the rewards. Much more tricky is getting to the 322 IR, I think

All the "story relevant" FP (Taral V/Malestrom, Battle of Ilum, False Emperor, SoR FP, Meridian, etc) already have solo story mode that is accessible whenever.

I think just marking the items that are part of loadout in inventory would be fine, to avoid accidentally selling stuff. You need to carry extra set gear when you are regularly switching specs now, so this is not really that different (I do not think many people will be switching between all 6 available talent trees that often, so it shouldn't really cause much bloat in inventory).

You need to switch through Loadouts, not through the Combat Styles screen (make one loadout, create another, switch style, save to the new loadout). Then everything gets preserved (you also need room in inventory to make the switch) it is not really intuitive, and definitely needs some work.

Create a Loadout for each combat style, and when you switch through loadouts, then the quickbar positions get preserved. Switching through the "big icons" on Combat Style screen messes up everything. It is not really intuitive, and definitely needs some UX finetuning
