  1. Outdated. You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. P.S. It is good that you like SWTOR; I have no quarrel with that.
  2. High population => Easier to get into group activities, GTN prices are lower Low population => Higher prices on GTN for crafted items, lower contention for spawns in open areas
  3. Two ways: 1. If you completed the bonus about server room, Lana says something about analyzing the data and you get a control panel in flashing blue you can click to leave. 2. If you didn't complete the bonus, see Moderately challenging jumping
  4. One thing I'd like to understand: Does the combination stack (does it make sense to spam it multiple times)? Or is it a one time thing only, until the timer resets?
  5. Did Tactical Mode "Cademimu" yesterday. You can't go 10 feet without meeting a Champion in Cademimu. Got 911 CXP (DvL bonus was involved) without counting any "Disintegrate" CXP.
  6. As a Lightning Inquisitor, I was able to place Affliction in the first toolbars' first slot and right-click the relays to attack from near by. Clicked a few in each set to ensure complete set is destroyed (the bug where 1 or 2 don't get destroyed from the chain reaction is still there). Used the maintenance tunnels in room 1 to go to room 2 (thereby starting at the back of room 2 and working up to the front) and then went to room 3. Rooms 1 and 3 have 2 sets each; properly hitting one set will chain to and destroy the second set, in theory. The second room seems to have 6 sets. The chaining from one set to another seems iffy at best. Kept trying and dying till I got lucky. At least I didn't get the "Evades" "Cannot See Target" "Get Closer" messages with this method. All the other headaches like getting snagged on this, being stuck in the relays and insta-dying, lone-survivor relay syndrome still exist (*). The frustration of this mission leads many people to take it out on Koth, I suspect. Objectively, what he did to prevent Gravestone from falling into wrong hands is good; Vaylin is to be blamed for triggering the bomb. It doesn't help that they had Koth irritating us through the whole frustrating 3 minutes; so, the temptation to punch or kill something is high towards the end of this make-work chapter. (*) They could've fixd this in one of the maintenance windows. They did seem to stealth-update the mouse droid mission; it is now necessary to use stun ability at least once - on one of the second pair of guards and one of the third trio of guards.
  7. Freezing Force (when Persistent Chill is chosen as a utility) seems to be a powerful AOE attack for a melee DPS Guardian. What is the opinion of those who have used it? Does it stack, allowing me to use it repeatedly on a group till I run out of Focus? I'm talking PvE here, Story along with FlashPoints and Uprisings.
  8. The first line about Spire is from the escape chapter, early on. You seem to have done it and made that choice. The next line about Spire is from Chapter 10; you seem to have skipped it, so the game made your choice for you and it is the dark side choice of letting Kaliyo damage Spire and kill civilians. All of this flows from not doing chapters 10 to 16. There is nothing to fix here.
  9. There is a decision in chapter 10 that sets the tone for relationship with Koth. If your character's alignment when you skipped 10-16 chapters and started KOTET was Dark, the game likely made the corresponding assumptions about your choices in the skipped chapters.
  10. Veteran mode is meant to be challenging with 230+ gear and 20 Influence Companion. Anything below was planned to be very, very difficult. You want challenge in Story Mode, try doing it without a Companion. Or without some armor pieces or without the offhand or a combination of these.
  11. Climb bones, running jump onto a broken piece of fence, turn and jump onto another broken fence piece. Step onto a narrow ledge and walk along till you're able to jump to a proper floor.
  12. My JK is a Vigilance (dos) Guardian and Lana does this as well, just noticed today. Ctrl+1 will cause companion to target your target.
  13. The Command Rank 18 crate gave my only set bonus piece. Jedi Knight, Guardian, Vigilance DPS Got: Eternal Commander MK-3 Weaponmaster's Belt Rating: 230, Purple Bonus List describes it as: Ultimate Exarch Vindicator's ... It is only marginally better than the augmented BoL piece into which I had put 228 item modifications I pulled from another piece (the Green armorings can be pulled from any piece and put into any piece) Question is: Is it worthwhile to augment this set piece with MK-10? How about with MK-9?
  14. I read that the higher XP is applicable while you're at 65 level; above that the XP drops significantly.
  15. I completed the Taris Heroics through the GC interface today. It did not auto-complete. Once I finished all 6, it gave me 517 bonus CXP.
  16. We need more threads like this, so they can nerf the PVP CXP points like they did the Gold mobs. (If you need the Sarcasm tag, you haven't been paying attention.)
  17. That holo thing is how it is supposed to work. So you got what they promised. Master Ranos is a woman, by the way.
  18. I've done every one of them several times. If you're in 208s or better and are reasonably familiar with your skills and class function, you'll be ok with 3 other similar players. Any 4 players will do, but the 2,1,1 will definitely help. The only one that needs a healer in SM is Inferno; the last boss fight there becomes just too much otherwise. Two champions, multiple waves of multiple adds and Kolto stations that don't respawn amount to one tough fight.
  19. Shows better graphics quality (a bit subjective, except for some grass effects) than before at High or above settings. The lag is another thing. It is obvious, increasing in busy action during large group fights. In some cases, it is up to 4 Global Cool Downs or longer during an intense encounter. The lag is likely due to the increased player presence on the servers than in the past several months due to the release of the new expansion.
  20. The second menu item from the left on the top menu bar will have an entry called "Chapters." You should be able to choose the chapter you want to play and the difficulty level from there. The big blue button on the Chapters window should first say "Grant Mission;" click it to get a warning and then it changes to "Launch." Click again to start the introductory cinematic.
  21. What is the rating of this set bonus item: 230, 240 ... What is the color: Gold?
  22. How many do you have, by category? The Ranos thing you get in mail should have nothing to do with the terminal; you just right-click it when it is in the Inventory.
  23. It is not like there is one armor set each for DPS, Tank and Healer specs. There is a set for each of the trinity at each of there rating levels: 224 226 228 230 232 234 236 238 240 242 (?) There are Green, Blue, Purple (or Gold) and Orange armor sets likely at each level for each spec. Though only the purple (or Gold) armor sets will likely have the set bonus.
  24. 234 or 236 is what they implied in one of the Livestreams. For regular content they also said the Companions should be at Influence 20
