  1. I've played the kot** chapters on all of the classes and they're all fun. It's a one-size-fits-none story, but every class gets their own cool dialogue and scattered nods to their class stories. I know some posters around here are utterly convinced that no non-force-user could ever defeat a force-using villain, so they find the boss fights jarring, but I blame the movies and a lack of imagination for that.
  2. I've played the piano since I was 8 and picked up the guitar when I was 18 or so. I go through pretty long lapses of activity, but I follow several dozens of bands and composers almost religiously so music is always a huge part of my life.

     

    When I'm not being lazy, I have a typical guitar workout that I do 5-6 days a week. Same with piano. I start with some finger exercises, move on to some scales, practice two songs I'm learning, repeat finger exercises, have fun with songs I've mastered, then back to finger exercises. Sometimes I'll start with a warmup and just mess around. I typically spend between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on my mood, on the workout.

     

    If you want guided lessons for a bunch of modern songs, I recommend picking up Rocksmith. It is about the same price as one private lesson from a tutor, but you have unlimited access. It has lessons for lead and rhythm guitar as well as bass.

  3. I think you're actually sensing revulsion and horror at the idea of potential parenthood for our characters or their LIs. That sound you hear is some of us running a thousand miles in the opposite direction. :)

     

    I could not agree more: horror and revulsion. I was honestly just thinking to myself I could probably deal with the upcoming tank nerfs, but like hell I want my JK to wind up as a baby-daddy. That'd cause me to retire the toon once and for all for sure.

  4.  

    And the answer to another thread--what have I bought on the cartel market sale? NOTHING. I have a few alts that really, really need better looking armor, but I have no idea when I will be running them again. If ever. So, uh, thanks for saving me the money?

     

    Same here. As much as I love that they made most things available for direct sale, these conquest changes have killed my desire to run alts and gear them up with fancy cosmetics.

  5. lvl 60 boosted characters also don't get access to titles gained from the class stories. That may not bother you, but a boosted sith will never get to display the Darth or Lord titles and Jedi don't get Master. You'll still be called Darth Imperious or Lord Wrath in dialogue though.
  6. This is correct. Disney bailed from the game-making industry some time ago. All offerings these days are via licensing deals involving their intellectual property.

    I've been looking for these links for ages. I remember reading them a while ago and I was also curious as to what Disney may or may not do with swtor. Probably nothing, I guess.

  7. Anthem never really interested me. If I want to play an FPS I'll just go and play any of the 10+ titles I already own that I know I enjoy. Why bother with this new Destiny rip-off? I still like FIFA, so I might not boycott EA entirely, but I'm less inclined to buy other games from them after this whole fiasco. I'm still upset about what happened with Mass Effect: Andromeda.
  8. I still think people are overestimating and trivializing space-resurrections. If it were really so easy then everyone would do it, including every other fan-fave who is currently dead. Seems really cheap and hamfisted to me (as per most of the suggested methods so far). If it were well written and compelling I'll gladly eat my words, but I'm not optimistic.

     

    I'd be fine with a force-ghost companion though. That'd be unique and I can see some cool story coming out of that. Maybe give her some fancy animations like Lokin where she's mostly insubstantial until it is time to fight.

  9. As much as I liked Vaylin as a character and despite how much I disliked not having the option to at least try and rehabilitate her, I really think we should let the poor girl rest in peace. Even if pseudo-scientific necromancy didn't smack of violation of personhood to me, I'd still find it cheesy and dumb. Especially in the Star Wars setting. Can't we move on? New characters please. And if we are presented with an unfortunate psycho again, let us try to help them.
  10. Well that would depend on whether it was an Opt-In PvP Event or Automatic.

     

    The vast majority of players don't want to be forced to engage with PvP, and I know many, many players who would just not bother logging in if they were so forced.

     

    I genuinely feel most PvP Players have no clue just how much those of that don't PvP despise it.

     

    I have 9 toons that have been through all of KotFE/ET but only ONE that has done the Alliance Alert that requires us to PvP to unlock a Companion, and that was a chore.

     

    All The Best

     

    It's true; I don't understand the aversion at all, but I know it exists. You do you, it's your game just as much as mine.

     

    I don't want to be forced to pvp as much as anyone else. Seeing as how none of the previous events have been automatic (as far as I know), I thought the option to not participate was a given. My mistake.
