  1. Honestly the reduced EXP for non-subscribers is too low. I myself subscribe, but I find it unfair to all the F2Players and Freemiums get what, 75% of our experience? Friends I made on my origin world are left in the dust. Subscribers already get rested EXP, giving them nearly triple the experience of a free player if fully rested. When free players do all of the available quests on a planet, they still end up having to do extra grinding by fighting random NPCs in the wild. In addition, they have a limited number of flashpoints, operations, warzones, and space missions which lowers the amount of EXP they get compared to a subscriber even further. Further, they have to wait until level 15 to sprint and get speeders much later than subscribes at an obscene price considering they only get 2 or 5 GTN listings at a time and only get one or two crew skills. Being slower means that they have to trudge across planets longer which slows them from progressing through levels and the story. The way things are, free and preferred status players have it pretty horrifically awful.
  2. If it's your main companion then go on right ahead. Other than that it's only courteous to pick greed or to pass. Personally I only pick need if it IS for my companion because I hardly ever gear up Kira and I have Orange gear on myself. So yeah, unless it's for a companion you don't use, feel free to pick need.
  3. How about Cartel Coins giveaway that does not require Facebook. Some of us don't want and refuse to have a Facebook account.

     

    I agree with this, even though I have a Facebook. Like I said earlier, there should be a random distribution system in the game that sends free cartel coins to online users (subscribers only) throughout the day. It would save BW a whole lot of grief from people saying "F2P IS RUINING THE GAME" or "BOTTERS" or "UNFAIR" et cetera.

  4. Sounds like fun! But I do think that Facebook giveaways are a bad idea. My experience is that the same people with insanely fast internet speed or use bots get all the prizes and nobody is left happy. When I was little I played Maplestory, and I remember they had giveaways through the game. They randomly picked someone online and that person got mailed such and such prize. Couldn't you do something like that?

    Woah, all your characters are really nice! I saw your Shadow and at first I thought you had a reverse gripped saber... then I saw the other blade. But now I want a reverse grip saber D;

  6. That's more because, once you become a Sith, you attain a certain rank that non-Sith must respect.

     

    That's true, but it makes it seem like the slave background was just forced and only means something in the prologue. I don't know if anyone really talks much about your background, but it would be logical if other Sith looked down on you or respected you more based on your origins. I don't know, maybe it's because I love Dragon Age so much, but I feel like race and origins should matter more. The empire is anti-alien, just like Fereldans are anti-elf. However, I could see a lot more prejudice about my character being an elf in Dragon age than I did being a Twi'lek in this.

  7. I haven't played all the way through any of the classes but I've played through all of the origin world quests other than SI. I'm honestly a bit disappointed that everyone is exemplar from the start: JK has praise from masters before Tython, JC is better with the force than Yuon was at 14 at age 4, Smuggler is excellent pilot, Trooper is promising young sergeant, SW was so good he got into the academy early, BH is the best shot Braden has ever seen, and IA graduated top of their class. So truthfully, every class is a bit cliche. What would be great for me would be a Zayne Carrick like storyline:

     

    He had "marginal" Force powers, failed his Padawan trials, was betrayed by his masters, got framed, became a fugitive, and eventually redeemed himself and ultimately saved the Jedi order.

     

    I'm not saying it should be exactly like his, but a rags to riches type storyline would be great. Not like the SI, from what I've heard/played so far, they are almost immediately accepted by everyone save Harkun and then become super juiced up Sith machines.

  8. well darn, how much do they cost?

     

    Most likely the same as on the site.

     

    Anyways, I know that they have Subscription cards on Amazon if anyone wants to get one of those, but I'm not sure if there's a difference between Cartel Coins Cards and Subscription cards.

  9. It actually helps to have no alignment restriction on crystals because if you want to play a light side Sith (which does not necessarily make you goody two-shoes/Jedi convert etc, just means morals) you can still use a red lightsaber. And if you are a dark Jedi, you can use a blue or green saber.
  10. My Miralian Guardian Aisel. Yup I have a lot of unused characters I made wen I was playing with the character creation thing.

    I love Calo Nord's Jacket. But It doesn't really fit the guardian character, so I have this...Jedi armor thingamabob. Saving up for Jolee Bindo's armor though.

    Oh, and my first character, who I no longer play, Solene, the Sniper.

  11. Reroll and experience an all new storyline. I have a whole bunch of mid level characters because I like playing the different stories. You could also get a new CPU and PvP. If you wnat new orange gear, just buy a new set in the GTN, just remove the mods from your current armor and stick them into the new one. Orange gear has the same base armor rating (scaled to level I think) and no additional stats and it's only armoring mods that really boost your armor rating and mods/enhancements to add stats.
  12. Even in the movies - children jedi have lightsabers. I don't get why people think it should be such a difficult task to get one.

    Plus Jedi normally start as very young and not the other way around

     

    Look guys! A person with actual knowledge on the films created by George Lucas. Wow, isn't it coincidental that George Lucas CREATED Star Wars? Wouldn't what he put in films logically be how it's supposed to be? Jedi Younglings have sabers in the movies, and they even live in peaceful times and DON'T go on extraordinarily dangerous tasks to beat fallen Jedi/dangerous natives etc. So if you put two and two together, then blamo. You don't get your saber too early.

    But the way that Sith warriors get theirs is stupid. I mean the rob the tomb of freaking Naga Sadow to get it.

  13. It might be okay, especially without a dedicated healer, to let the dps and their targets beat on each other a little instead of you, but for the most part, you should be the one taking most of the hits. You mentioned you were doing heroic 4's with just 3 people, someone should pull out a healer companion, even the ship droid if that's all you have, and you should be okay.

     

    Generally the goal is for you to pick up as much stuff as you can survive, let the dps facetank the weak mobs(who shouldn't get out much damage before they're dead if the dps are doing their job properly), and, if you ever get a healer, prioritize anything attacking the healer. If your dps don't do their jobs properly, it makes your job as tank a lot harder. A lot of people come from WoW or similar games where the tank aggros absolutely everything, and you kill mobs from strongest to weakest. In SWTOR, though, the weaker mobs do about as much(if not more) damage as the stronger ones(aside from bosses and other specific situations), and the tanks are not made to survive that much incoming damage, healer or not. The weaker mobs generally die very quickly, though, so the dps can take care of them no problem, leaving the strongest stuff to be killed last. If your dps always attack the biggest thing in the room and let the little guys run around doing whatever, they're doing it wrong.

     

    So I'm supposing I should be the last person to go in and attack? I'm usually one of the first to jump into a fight. In other games I've played, I'm usually an archer and this is my first time playing as a tank. Nest time, I'll try to put a bit more strategy in my fights. Thanks everyone for all the help, really appreciate it.
