Except that Valkorion's imprint totally overrides our character's imprint....Snip
It doesn't erase all your past deeds, just like in real life when someone dies it doesn't erase what they did in their lifetime. The person had an impact on the galaxy.

Hi.
I have a lvl 60 Jedi Consular.
I had previously maxed affection with Qyzen Fess pre-4.0. He is now Rank 10.
Now when I look at Legacy =>Companions =>Jedi Consular =>Qyzen Fess I see that there is a pending uncompleted 'alliance alert mission', which is named "Stalking the Score".
How do I find/activate this mission?
I have already gone to my ship and there are no pending conversations to be had with him.
I tried giving him a few gifts and raised the affection a bit, but that did not trigger any conversation need.
Advice/Ideas please..??
You won't get Stalking the Score until level 65, after chapter 9. It is an alliance mission.

I'm not going to comment on the whole post, just one aspect of it.
I don't agree that everything up until 4.0 has been rendered meaningless. Each storyline is one long journey, giving your character....well his/her character. It was your character putting his or her imprint on the galaxy, as Valkorion puts it. Things change and in this case the galaxy changed, the Republic and Empire are no longer powerful. They are struggling to survive and lashing out at each other (while the Eternal Empire is keeping them from advancing economically) in a futile attempt to exert some control over their fate.
The very fact that you can see now in KotFE how far each has fallen, because you have experienced the pre-4.0 story, makes that story not pointless at all.
TLDR: Just because the galaxy has changed, it doesn't mean all that happened before is pointless.

Yeah there are a few bugs out there. It was a massive update to the game so I'm not surprised. But you are technically testing content, seeing as it is still early access.
Hopefully they will fix a good chunk of those bugs with the patch on Tuesday.
-
They are a tad on the strong side. Although it was really helpful when soloing the heroic Star Fortress. I'd be ok with a slight enemy damage increase to counter this. I think that would work better than nerfing companions.
-
I agree they could have been more transparent and communicated better.
-
I would also like to see many of the vendors returned, or at least a clearer path to getting this gear. Although I am happy about the alliance supply crates, or whatever they are called, dropping some of this gear as a legacy bound version.
That being said, the attitude shown in this thread is reprehensible and I most certainly do not agree with the OP's actions. I think the devs deserve to be shown some respect for this expansion which includes many QoL improvements. I'm afraid the actions of the OP will encourage the devs and community managers to be less active on the forums.

To all the people freaking out over this, have you all never read a book? Your imagination is meant to be used to give the characters a voice. In the case of the Alliance system you already know what your characters sound like, so it is a very small imaginative leap to fill in the gaps.
This Alliance system just has way too many interactions for it to be fully voiced.
It's one thing to not like something, it is another to act childish and pitch a fit over it. The people ranting endlessly about this system obviously have something else going on in their lives that's contributing to this tantrum they are having. I suggest they take some time and focus on those real life issues before devoting so much time whining about such a small issue.
Lastly, to the people who want to give constructive criticism, how would you have implemented the alliance system assuming you couldn't use voice actors?
-
I honestly didn't even notice that my character wasn't speaking until someone pointed it out. Now I do notice, but I really don't have a problem with it. It is after all, ONLY for the ALLIANCE SYSTEM. The alliance system requires returning to contacts numerous times and it just wouldn't have been feasible to have your character's VA do all the lines for that.
As for the people calling for the dev's heads and for them to be fired...well you guys/gals need to get a grip. This is such an overblown controversy. I have a feeling that if it had to be fully voiced, then the alliance system would never have happened. I personally am glad it did.
-
What? Not...
HK-55: "Demand: Are. We. There. Yet?
I prefer:
Tora: "Where have you been all my life?"
My character: "Stabbing things"
As for the expansion, I am loving it. I wasn't so sure about the alliance system at first, and I'm not a huge fan of the Star Fortress, but I'm really enjoying going back to all the worlds searching for allies. I'm sure it will get boring after while, but for now it is pretty fun.

For those who are saying it is only for the Alliance stuff and there was 9 chapters of main story...You are wrong, The Alliance is chapter 9!! And the whole chapter nine(except its beginning) is with this retro style conversations. (I mean the quest when you are suppose to speak with Oggurobb is still according to my quest log a main story quest from chapter 9 and it is already in this Kotor like retro style and without any warning)
And even if it was just for the alliance, it is still a wrong decision to change it like this, it doesn't fit to this game and its supposedly cinematic storytelling whatsoever.
I would rather wait a bit longer for them to finish proper voice-overs than this! So immersion breaking. And it is not just about missing voiceovers, even the subtitles are in the wrong place and most of the screen is hidden behind some black wall. And the font is way too big....
I honestly too thought it is a bug at first (actually I started writing the ticket for it). Then I realise that my JK is mute and it is probably some bad kotor joke. You know, I'm kinda attached to her voice and now I don't have the heart to continue playing it until it's fixed(I consider this as intentional bug)
This outdated conversations are just wrong, aspecially for this game and I hope I will never see something like this in SWTOR again.
EDIT: I pretty much disagree with everything thay said about it:
I think it is exact opposite. My character is ignored now if he/she can't talk, storyline is more chaotic thanks to this and cinematography? there is NONE in comparison with original SWTOR conversations!
Because Chapter 9 is called the Alliance. And it is just the intro to the alliance system.
-
I agree. Although the alliance system is a bit of a grind, it appears to drop massive amounts of data crystals so I can gear up faster than ever. So kind of trading one grind for another.
-
I think it is mainly a budget or time issue, they are now releasing one expansion a year, they probably didn't have the time or didn't get the funding to get full voice acting in these alliance quests. I understand their reasons for it happening, if these are indeed the reasons.
Having said that, the immersion is gone. I loved having my wise cracking smuggler pull a smirk whilst saying some cocky chauvinistic line. You will never get that from just words. The cinematic's and the Voice acting is what made me fall in love with this game, and is what keeps me coming back every time there is new content.
I sub a couple months before everytime and always buy the expansion as soon as it comes out for the story. Please, please, please Bioware even if it costs a little more and takes a little longer, get back to full voice acting. I love that part of the game and to have it in the Star Wars Universe makes it all the better.
It's only the alliance missions that use the classic conversation style. All the main missions are fully voiced as usual.
-
While I disagree with most of your points, I do agree that the combat is too easy. It is a bit of a faceroll, especially with the very powerful new companions. On the flipside I was hearing people complaining they couldn't beat some enemies in enemies while on zakuul and in the Star Fortress, so I guess you can never underestimate how bad some players truly are.
-
When a ton of people agree on change being bad, it is bad. A turd is a turd no matter how you dress it up.
It is perfectly fine for people to have their own opinions about a story and the 4.0 changes. Anecdotally, I've been hearing nothing but positive things in gen chat. Hearing about how people love the story, how awesome it is, what their favorite dialogue has been...that gives me the impression that a lot of people like the expansion so far. This is from people in-game, not on the forums. It is really difficult to quantify just how many like the changes vs those who don't. Personally, I take more stock in the opinions of people actually in the game and playing it, then those who played for 5 minutes and rage-quit. I'm not saying that is you, but there are definitely a few like that whining on the forums.
-
I actually think this expansion has been the best design decision Bioware has ever made. I honestly am surprised at how well it turned out.
-
I just don't see the big deal, if they would have done it with the story quests I would be mad. But it's just the alliance system.
-
I've always replaced thrash with voltaic slash on my quickbar anyways, what's the point of having both?
-
Yeah, same here. I was a little worried it would be too short when the first few chapters went by so fast. It ended up being about 9 hours worth of play time for me to finish through chapter 9 and that seems fair. The story exceeded my expectations, the companions have a lot of personality and good dialogue. I'm really excited to see the monthly chapters.
-
I'm pretty sure the classic conversation style is only for the alliance system. As all the other dialogue had the regular SWTOR style. I guess it's a way to differentiate between alliance and non-alliance missions.
-
The TIE pilot's story appears to be entirely spoiled within the trailer.
Good work, Hollywood.
You really live up to your username.
-
Looks fantastic. We might actually get a movie worthy of the Star Wars name this time.
-
The new Star Wars Force Awakens trailer is here:
Looks pretty awesome to me, miles better than the prequels judging by the trailer alone.

I'm not sure what your price range is, but here is a build that will run anything at 1920x1080@60fps on high (may have to turn off MSAA though): http://pcpartpicker.com/user/pegasus912/saved/V7VgXL
If you get a premade with those parts it will cost you double that. I know it can seem daunting to build a PC these days, but it really is like Legos now. Just look up a video on Youtube about how to put it together and you'll be able to put one together in no time. Honestly the only part that takes "work" is loading all the drivers and OS. I hope that helps, and good luck!
Edit: I'd actually recommend getting a bigger hard drive, I forgot I put a 1tb in that list, 2tb is a better deal.
