If I came back, I would probably like to start fresh from zero. Whole new character, new backstory...etc. My master Katkia Taleria has just sent you an important message!

Oh no, nothing like that. I've been around since the beginning so I'm basically all played out. I was an Asheron's Call player for years as well. Left, then after a few years came back for a while for fun. I may do the same thing with SWTOR--revisit it after a few years. What's your character's name on Jedi Covenant?

I'm quitting and I am dumping my credits.

I'm done--my sub is up after August 1 and I don't care one bit about the HK chapter. I'm leaving not because of anger or anything--it's just that I'm done. I've subbed since the beginning, and I'm just played out. I may revisit it in a few years--or maybe not.

Yeah, something's messed up--as usual. Same with the Twilek courier who doesn't show up until you log out and log back in. So I'm wondering, am I missing the light side choice result? What is supposed to happen?

When I first tried it with my Sith Marauder, I kept getting wiped out. First, I needed to make sure she had bare minimum armor--at least 208s I think. Then I had to make sure my companion was at least rank 20. And then I had to make sure my Alliance specialists were all ranked 10 so I could get the special buff plus those special abilities from those alliance crates at the Star Fortress. And then--I still kept getting killed because it took me many, many tries to figure out the strategy for the fights. First with that droid thing, then with the three fights at the reactor station when you have to drain the Exarch (that was the toughest for me to figure out how to beat them), and then with the Exarch himself. Once you do it, and do again and again, it becomes pretty easy because you know longer have to think, "what do I do here?" The only problem I had was at Voss with that self - healing Exarch. I didn't have any problem with the self-healing Exarch at Nar Shaddaa though. Anyway, I slapped about 5 augments on my Maraurder which put me over the tipping point to be able to finish him off. So I'm all confident thinking I won't ever have problems again with the Star Fortress Heroics--until I started to play my Jedi Sage healer. I am finding that with a healer toon, it is much, much more difficult. Still, I was able to beat it for four of the planets. However, I still cannot beat the self healing Exarch at Nar Shaddaa. With my companion as a tank, he cannot do enough damage and I can only interrupt the Exarch healing himself once and then he does it immediately again! When my companion is set as DPS, I cannot heal him fast enough from the damage the Exarch deals out. I also tried setting my companion as healer but I cannot deal enough damage as a healer. So, I'm trying to get my companion leveled up--he's already at 31 and I still can't do it--and obviously I have to rethink my strategy with playing with a healer.

I ended up deleting mine almost immediately. It felt weird playing a ready made character without a history compared to my toons that I "raised" from the very beginning.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. I was on my way back to Hylo Visz after finishing Little Big Boss to get Blizz, and Chapter XI started on me. Aric Jorgan is naked in the cutscenes and doesn't even appear with me so I can't advanced the story. I'm going to reset it and hope that fixes it otherwise I can't advance.

His head looks like a giant genital wart.

It took me many, many times before I was finally able to do this solo with my Jedi Sage healer. I was finally able to do it, just barely--my companion was gone, I was hanging by a thread, and I popped that force wave ability from Sana Rae to finally finish off Zar Draya. It's funny, with my Sith Marauder, I didn't really have too much problems with soloing the Star Fortress Heroics, so I thought doing it with my Jedi Sage would be a cakewalk, but oops...totally wrong on that. It just seems like there's so much more I have to do as a healer whereas with my Marauder, I'm just attacking.

It's that way in real life! Years ago I remember when I used to play golf, if you didn't come with a foursome, you'd get grouped with people--people of all skills, some starting out, some decent, some horrible--but there'd always be some guy in the group whining and crying about having to deal with the beginner. Everybody starts out at some point--I'd always try to help out, offer tips, but...after a while I couldn't deal with these whiny negative people all the time. So it's no surprise that this happens in MMOs. Of course it's worse since you don't deal with a real human face to face.

Thank goodness I just found out that I did NOT screw this up. Turns out I had to click on the Travel to Contact to actually go back to the planet where the Alliance recruit is from. Then you can talk to them to trigger the Heroic mission where you talk to Sgt. Ahkar. What I tried before was talk to them on Odessen, which didn't do anything. Kind of stupid that they are on Odessen and also on the planets. All except for Veeroa Denz. She's only on Odessen and you can talk to her there to re-trigger the Heroic.

Okay, because of stupid confusion on my part, I somehow abandoned all the Star Fortress Heroics on one of my characters. I already did all those missions where I destroyed the bunker shield and recruited those alliance members. What happened was, I tried the heroic and got wiped, so I figured let me do the solos for a while. When I tried to pick [solo Mode] it wouldn't let me enter. It said I already had an active mission or something. So I abandoned all the heroics. Now, the heroic choice does not come up at all. There doesn't seem to be a way to get those alerts back either to redo the bunker shield mission. I'm not sure how I can get the Star Fortress Heroics back!

Ah... okay. I wonder trying to decide if they were worth getting.

I got the original Life Day robes a while back. Now I see they have Festive Life Day robes. I can't see the difference. Is there any?

Thanks! That did the trick for me. I just installed the Crimson drivers and didn't notice enemies were firing at me because I could no longer see any effects!

Yeah, I had a mix of 200, 208, 216 gear and my companion was level 20 and all four alliance members at 10. I died like 5 times the first time I did the H2 Star Fortress, but that was because I wasn't sure what to do. It took me that long to get the strategy down. Once I did it solo, I could do the others fairly easily. Some of those paladin fights were vicious though and if I didn't time my rotation down right, I'd end up dying. Also, after a while, I started popping my Heroic ability and using those Alliance Equipment bonuses all the time since they have a relatively short cooldown because after a while, those Star Fortresses are really tedious. I'll do it for one Empire toon and one Republic toon, but like the OP, I doubt I will go through all that again with my alts.

Wah wah wah...every time Bioware does something someone doesn't like, they always make the claim about people unsubbing.

My first character was a fat Jedi Guardian. He's lost weight now though. My main character ended up being a Jedi Sage (I think she was the third character I made). I just like playing healers.

I hope at some point we get the old companions back. My female Jedi Sage misses her Padawan. Also, it's mean to separate her from Felix. She's hanging on to that last email she got from him...

It feels like a completely different game now (more like KOTOR)--which is good and bad. Honestly, it feels like it's on rails to me. All the fights are super easy. Specific companions are forced on you as you go through the story.

I agree that they do not handled expired credit cards well. This happened to me a while back. Just about every other company I've dealt with that has credit info stored TELL you that your credit card expired.

I like all of them (especially male Agent and female Jedi Consular)--but there are two that I just don't like--male bounty hunter and male Jedi Consular.

Yep, this situation is total BS. How long has SWTOR been out now? If I can't get past this I might as well delete my Bounty Hunter.

I've always enjoyed leveling alts. The whole point for me is that they react differently to the same situation, and I want to experience that.
