Someone in another thread posted screenshots of Larkin in rakghoul form and Theran with Holiday.
Here it is:
Well thats weird because they are not doing that for me. they are using very generic animations for me.... Maby I am bugged? Like treek turning into C2N2?
-
Change stances if you want to see Larkin's rakghoul or Theran's Holiday.
saddly I did change the stances. And did not see Larkins Rakgoul or Therans holiday. Even attempted to find HK's unique 1 hit kill on a single silver target. But they where not there.

Nope, not at all. . I logged in for an hour and haven't been back since lol. I'm about to go buy something new out of frustration like an xbox one and get back in to GTA Online :/ I agree more has been taken out than added and it kinda killed it for me.
I have not uninstalled yet. But I did go off to play another game that adds content is a free to play with a cash shop. Yet does not remove a damn that would cause the game to feel like a lesser version of its self.

Same, game has been improved
i am still waiting for a improvement that did not come with a bunch of faults that out weigh that improvement

FFS, did anybody except me actually *look* in the equipment section of Fleet? Apparently not.
In the low-level bay (left-hand end if you face out into the universe), there are the lower-level mod vendors.
AND
The same level 8 vendor who was there before, in the same corner behind the same counter. He sells adaptive-weight not-class-linked orange shells pre-filled with 32-rated blue mods.
NOW SHUT THE FECKING FECK UP ABOUT THERE BEING *NO* EQUIPMENT VENDORS!
I miss going to nar shaadaa and buying the actual republic trooper set at 20. You know the same one the NPC's walk around in. Or a actual Jedi robe set at 30. Heck even that armored Knight sets. The low level level 8 sets will not satisfy that craving for individuality like it did just a few days ago when you can mix it with a large assortment of options to choose from. Like I have stated before I am a sub. I know for many I should not care about lowbies or noobs. even FTP or preferred in allot of your eyes. But if some one does not say something about these missing aspects of the game that once where the same thing that all us Subs used at one point or another to deck our self out while we saved up credits for that 500k-1m (Which FTP and preferred will never accumulate) piece of cool looking gear. It would be a absolute shame as a experienced player to say this was alright and that we should screw every one else just because we have to grind for a new gear at a higher level.
Also to the person who commented about the skills going down a level. Please explain why my 55 had 4 missing skills that had to be learned in the 60's now. Such as Warding Call for Guardians which was the old 55 skill. Now its like 57-or 59. Why I have to wait extra levels for 1 slot of the last rank of the utillities. when I used to get it at like 54 or something. Now its past that in the 50's early 60's. Only thing that I saw that got bumped down mainly was speeders got reduced 5 levels.

You deserve a reward for creating the most skillful sarcasm that I've seen in a long time.
Hahaha... I agree with you there buddy.
But I digress. My main point is. when I started this game. I was never forced to do side missions because PVP and flash points picked up allot more EXP. How ever the side missions back then had a little more meaning like going to do a local heroic with some friends are random people you meet for that piece of sweet low level gear that was going to last you a while. Or yes for the exp. But I also liked the fact that allot of NPC's had personality as much as my companions at that time. I had incentive to go out and do the quests for the rewards just as much as for the experience of seeing how my bounty hunter reacts to a quest that a agent could do. But now its just "Go straight to level 60 and get to the expansion because their is no drive or need to explore the rich world created" and that kinda saddens me that new players will miss out on that old feeling as their character should have expanded into the new beginnings in each expansion instead of going.... "Oh... level 50... or 55... Its kinda empty here with the crickets." or my self "Oh 60... 65... Kinda bland here." Yes I know the argument can be said "Oh you can go back with the level sync and do all that stuff." but the feeling is just not the same after you reach a certain point of the story before you see the small bits of it from random NPC quests. Yes 12x was great. But it should have remained temporary thing that shows up every now and then. Even if the game was x4 Normally would have been enough to level with a planet and have enough wiggle room to pick up the drive to see what that Sith lord is poking a brain on a table. Or why that senator wants you to do a job the local law enforcement could do instead.

I know right?? My friend just kept saying Compact Fluorescent Lights were better than standard LED lights even though they required more effort in their disposal/recycling due to the residual mercury they contain. But in my opinion, in the end, your kitchen either has enough light to allow you to do what you need to do, or it doesn't. I mean who cares? Like you said, either way, nothing really changed.
Or...did you respond to me in reference to something else? Because..I think I just forgot I was on the SWToR forums for a second.
For starters instead of adding new skills the upped the level requirements for your old ones.
They removed all the low level vendors expect rep and mods. Which can be a issue for new free to plays who don't have adaptive or custom gear. Oh yes you can say they can go to the GTN for their gear but I honestly see the prices shooting up simply because of how greedy every one is "AS A WHOLE" and FTP and Preferred have a credit cap. And you can argue they can just level alts for crafting but crafting has been made more difficult with all the cross crafting needed. FTP and Preferred will need 3 or 4 alts to level just 1 craft. too bad FTP gets 3 character slots and preferred gets 6.
Things we litterly could do 2 days ago as a 50 and 55 and enjoy was some old FP Hard modes and ops that are now moved up in level instead of adding newer content.
So saying nothing has changed and its all for the good. Not exactly true... And to the more Elitist subs out there... Try playing fresh FTP account now and see how much you hate it not having all that pre-level 60 content that was here only 2 days ago.
-
Besides the story (6 hours) this "expansion" did add nothing to the game. In fact it removed alot.
So I am not the only one then who sees more is missing then added.
-
It's EA's way of expanding. They cut out content from the original game to resell it to you later.
Why blame a publisher when you can blame the Devs over at Bioware..? The people who actually make the changes to the game.

There isn't anything wrong with this update, matter of fact I love it,
It cut out a lot of the bots you would see every where farm crap but there is a lot of stuff you guys can do out there instead of farming comms & creds so quit qqing that you cant farm comms anymore, geez I have notice that f2p always wants more crap for free, how about you tell your friends to fork out the extra 15 bucks a month, it isn't hard matter of fact its pretty damn easy instead of qqing about it on here:rolleyes:
I mean nothing against you here but this game needs to make money some how...
Hey bolts for brains I am not a FTP I am a sub. and quite frankly I have not found one thing I have liked about this so called expansion. Why is it anyone wants to stick up for a FTP they are called whiners. The fact of the matter is the game is a FTP game with optional Sub and Cartel market. A little love towards the larger end of the player base would be nice seeing there are less bus then their are FTP and preferred. And honestly 15 USD is allot for some people. Not every one has the luxury of shooting out random amounts of money from their back sides with Bills having to be paid. And even before you go on about getting a better job or saying some wise crack about him working more and play less games. Fact of the matter is I personally have to work 3 jobs and I play this to wind down stress not add to it. I have to sub at least once every few months because my budget with 3 jobs don't exactly cut it with student loans hospital bills. Children and house payments and other random bills. So take into the account not every one is gifted with a silver spoon in their thermal exhaust valve and show a little respect for people who want to Enjoy a bit of the game and not be bogged down be so many restrictions that they should call it a Trial rather then a FTP game.

Some of the changes I like, such as the change to companions. I love that I can finally use the one I want, and I don't have to deal with chore of gearing them up. What I don't like is the change to some of their weapons such as Aric not being able to use Heavy guns anymore. I spent a lot of cash on a specific weapon for him that can not be used anymore.
Their removal of lots of items and armor in the game is beyond stupid, and don't get me started on the forced level scaling. Worst idea to ever happen to an mmo.
Too bad that one character you love to use... Does not have any of its original skills or "Expanded" versions of them. With all the characters being 100% exactly the same except for cut-scenes is kinda crappy because I miss lorkin turing into a Rakghoul. or HK-51 Head shotting a Silver before a battle started. Small things like their unique traits or even their AOE / DOT stances being removed it just feels the same no matter who you play with because you will still need to swap your characters out for certain story missions anyway.
-
I am personally a sub but I have to ask. With the removal of allot of content pre level 60... What will there be left for a preferred to do? They took away all the Commendation gear. My bad I mean "Crystal" gear. pre 65. Will FTP and preferred be stuck sitting around with their thumbs up their butt collecting Commendations 1 day a week. I mean before this update their was still allot they can participate in and even enjoy and even feel a since of achievement about. But now... I am a bit scared to ask my friends to even play this game with how bad of a turn it took in just 1 update.
-
I'm still confused. Side-quests and class quests are still in, but you need to turn on markers for side-quests?
Lower-level gear vendors no longer exist on the fleet? Do they still exist on planets? I don't mind making a trip to buy gear (but why would you need to? It's easy enough to get orange gear and slip in mods)?
Are my commendations still worth anything or did they get converted to crystals? Can I use crystals for mods?
Again the Quest are there. Just no incentive to do them. You out level them in a few levels and the rewards are so low they will be over looked. meaning that rich experience that we all either enjoyed or hated up till recently will be over looked by future generation of players because all they will see is EXP and not content.
If they added some kind of achievement rewards that granted titles or decorations for the side quests that might draw people back to that so they don't miss out from the rich environment that is there.
with the way the games going its going to be 100% liner game play going from one class mission to the next and not seeing the Forest for the trees.
PS
Low level gear is no where to be found out side of drops / quests / Cartel market / GTN. For all the Vendors for the low level gear pre 65 have been removed from both the fleet and planets. (Reputation vendors are still around)
-
Ok.. Either you haven't played or you haven't looked around much.. We didn't lose the comms vendors.. They just don't take comms anyhmore.. They take crystals now.. Glowing and Radiant are the new elite and ultimate comms.. So we didn't lose anything in that regard.. Just changed..
The GTN was emptied for the patch.. I got 24 pages of stuff from the GTN.. When I was putting stuff back this morning there were just 3 pages of mounts.. Yes that was a general search for mounts.. Only 3 pages.. Again nothing was removed.. It will take some time for all the stuff to be put back..
Side quests were not removed.. You just don't have to do them.. Like the 12xp that everyone is crying is gone, you are complaining that the side quests are not as important as before??
I am done here,.. It just seems like you want to complain just to complain.. How about you play the patch and post back when you actually know what has changed and how..
Please show me where I can buy the "Crystal gear" for level 13-64. I would love you to show me because I have been to the fleet and every planet. The basic Gear merchants are not there either. So Please oh please. Screen shot me these new vendors or give me their location because I have not seen a single one.
And honestly what new player is going to go do a side quest and feel the experience of SWTOR when they can hit 55 in 2 days with just class missions and miss the experience of adventuring out meeting NPC's not related to the main class story. I don't see them doing that because there is no incentive to do that. To feel the world of the game.
Please give me your answer. I would so love to hear it.

Well for one. All the commendation merchants for gear. And Even normal Merchants for gear. 100% removed from the game from level 1 to 64. So you have to go to the GTN for even the smallest thing because you wont be able to find that cool looking gear anymore. Only thing you can buy from 1-64 is Mods. With the removal of the side quests needed for any kind of rewards or EXP you wont get a full experience of the game(Missing about 70% of the game right there) hard modes and some group activities have been moved up to to the 60-65 range. Your companions no longer feel unique from one another combat wise. So their only personally shows in class missions other wise they are just glorified pets. (all companions have the same attacks for all 3 roles. No more unique stances or one having AOE and another having DOT or spike damage... Hell Larkin no longer makes sense seeing how he does not even turn into a rakghoul and my Thoran does not use Holiday.) So the game is pretty much if your not level 60 you don't have much to do and no real incentive to go out and explore. So I say... Good luck trying to find nice cheap gear that will make you look unique at level 30 mate. Also to warn you. Your characters weapon type most likely changed. meaning if your a trooper with Aric... don't expect him to equip a cannon. Because he no longer is able to even though his name is plastered on the first cannon you get for him.
-
So what exactly do you like about it? I have not seen what is so great about it yet. I have seen and felt allot more negative things then anything positive.
Walk to cut-scene get a level walk to next one and repeat... Wait 3 months for next content update and hope they come up with something new for endgame and hard modes because right now its just a repeat of the low levels with new gear rewards.
-
Its a damn shame. I was really hopeful for something new "Added" to the game. but it ended up being something new "Replaced" the game. for crying out loud their is no content from level 1 to 59 because all the hard modes have been removed. the Merchant NPC's are gone. No need for new players to experience the game because all the so called random side quest that gave the game dept and feeling. Are broken. Its "Walk to cut-scene Get a level up. Repeat." I wanted Star Wars the old republic. Not Star wars The New empty hope.
-
I see allot of things removed from level 1-59. Allot of customization removed. And allot of forcing of the level 60.... I thought a expansion means you build off the old to open it up more to the world. Not completely destroy it and throw it in the trash and force something new. If anyone is not in fanboy mode can you show me where exactly the expansion of the game begins and the complete failure ends? If no one can show this to me. I think I will just flat out quit because its currently its more broken then expanded.

1. The normal gear merchants level 8-60
2. Commendation gear Merchants 8-60
3. The old EXP rate
4. My sense of accomplishment
5. Enjoyable challenge of the game.
So what if you can level to 60 in 2 days. It means nothing if you don't get a feel of accomplishment for the struggle you took to get there.
And all these new things for 65 yet you completely ignore new players or people who start new characters because they no longer have the standard merchants and commendation merchants to rely on for filler gear or even to fill the cosmetic slots. Or heck they just like the look of that low level orange gear.
Why the heck take something like that out. in the first place. Yeah people can argue you can just craft it or buy it from the network. But whats the point if you don't personally like crafting or the market is so over priced its not even worth it.
If it stays in this "easy mode. Buy a level 60 or don't play" method it will get boring really fast because we already are just repeating the same flash points at 65 we did back at 55. Bring fresh out not a dull fart with a stale after taste and call it inventive expansion to the old game play.
-
Possible that having Lorkin in Tank or Damage role he automatically turns into a rakghoul I mean his story line lead up to that and that was his unique selling point. Being able to turn into one that is.
-
I paid money for HK-51 because of his unique skills and animations. Now all the companions are exactly the same and have nothing unique about them.
I also paid 500 Cartel for a Cathar Warstaff that I have used on Kira for ever and a day and now she cant even use it thanks to the weapon changes for companions.
I am sure other people will have issues with this because when we buy these things there is no warning that you will change them so drastically or have them become 100% unusable to the character you buy it on.
I think you should add a warning for future content and items that the functionality of the items or content may no longer be use able or will be changed drastically from initial perches. I know that the game its self says content subject to change. But when your buying individual items / content from the cartel market they should also come with warning such as this to avoid people like my self who got items for their initial Unique qualities to only have them rendered pointless or have their unique attributes removed.
-
use it on a sith assassin or a shadow, works just fine.
I don't like using assassin or shadow. And I did not get the account unbind just the normal 1 character cartel perches. so with it being bound to my character I have no use for it now on a knight.
-
Think if I asked for a simple refund of the Cartel i spent on my Cathar Warstaff would be too much to ask for seeing how I bought it for Kira to use. But thanks to the almighty fail of a companion update does not allow her to use it rendering it a 100% bound worthless piece of crap.
-
The change to companions is the one truly great thing about the changes I have seen. No more having to play with Doc or Treek all the time on my JK. And finally no more having to spend loads of cash gearing up my companions. No more dealing with stupid item armorings and mods. Min maxing of stats is so freaking boring I could not care less if they removed stats at all. Armor should just be looks if it was up to me.
I don't mind the 3 generic roles but loosing the ability to customize them as much as my main character just means they are a generic pet not a companion.
Will there be anything left for FTP and Preferred?
