uh. what is this Theron thread you speak of? where? when? why wasn't i informed? so many questions.
The Theron Shan fangirl thread. Going since June of 2015.
It started as a question. "Is Theron going to be in KOTFE?" And snowballed from there. It's buried in the Story and Lore section as of right now, having died down a bit since KOTET ended...but it's still there. -
Wow we almost made it to 200 pages and 2000 posts, lets keep it up ladies
At this rate, we are definitely going to beat the Theron Shan fangirl thread.
Quinn: ...that is worrisome.
Theron: Tell me about it.
Quinn: You share these reservations about your fangirls, too?
Theron: Considering I'm unofficially paired with literally everyone, regardless of faction, allegiance, morals, or even gender - I'd say you have it easy. *shakes his head* Can't believe I'm envying an Imp...
Hey, in my headcanon, you *romanced* an Imp.
Theron: ...point.
Also a lot of female warriors romanced you when Quinn wasn't there.
Quinn: WHAT!?
Theron: Oh bad idea bad idea--
Quinn: YOU. DID. WHAT. TO MY WIFE!?
Theron: o_o She approached me! I didn't know she was married!
Quinn:
:mad: :mad:...hey fellow fangirls, anyone want popcorn? (Or if you're intolerant to corn as I am [i think], popped sorghum? It's incredibly like popcorn, except much smaller and a little sweeter.)
Actually the fanfic section here is probably the most welcoming of all the forums. We don't judge and really have nothing to kvetch about, we leave all that to the other forums. The Fanfic forums have been a bit dead of late and many of us do post elsewhere, but, yeah, any new stories are welcome.Oh, I echo this. The fanfic section is the most approachable, relaxed, welcoming, and kind community on all the forums right now. And there are so many amazing authors, too - you'd be extremely welcome there, Anisa.

I wouldn't say deeply disturbing, but I would call it surprising. I knew Jorgan wasn't well liked, mostly seen as either a bit annoying or just boring, but hated? Dear god, those were the most quiet haters before then. Damn.
And what makes you think Elara won't be killable? Bioware seems to have had their first taste of companion blood back in KOFTE, now they're on a murder high for our loved ones.
I guess it was disturbing for me, at least. Hey, I'd been looking forwards to killing
Kaliyo, because I hate her, and have since her introduction on Day One of the agent's story
but...nowhere *near* to that degree. e_e
Just another thing that I wouldn't put past them. -_- If Quinn's killable, then Elara should be, too. 'Tis only fair, if it has to happen.
-
An interesting question. If they wanted to, they already got their hands on Koth and Skadge. I think Malavai is the last from comps "hated by everyone".
My hope it once that frustration (finally murdering him) is released, haters will become calmer and finally leave us, fans, alone and stop attacking us for not hating him. Too much to hope for?
Probably. :c Remember in KOTFE when you could kill
Jorgan or Kaliyo? There were...deeply disturbing posts about how people detailed they'd go back, over and over, exit out of the cutscene and replay it over again, just to kill Jorgan multiple times.
Jorgan! Not even Kaliyo got that sheer hatred!
And I guess it's far too much to hope that killing Quinn/Elara is just not an option altogether.
Edit: ...and if there's an option to kill Quinn, and no option to kill Elara, WE RIOT.

That was quite lovely and questions asked that never were in game. That whole quinncident thing was wholly unsatisfying and the burning question of 'WHY?" has never been answered, this comes a close as anything so far. You should at least post on the Short Fic Weekly. Kudos.
Thank you.
I got halfway through writing it and then realized "...I actually don't know what Quinn would say." Hence the rather vague explanation. XDThanks for the tip! I have never been on a RP server, but I will consider it. One thing is sure: no PVP. 10 years of WoW on PVP servers killed my nerves - can't take the stress and paranoia anymore. (Although shooting the Pubs from the bushes with a Sniper would be fun LOL)Well, since every server now has a PVP and PVE instance, you can technically be on a former PVP-designated server (Harbinger, I think?) and still not run into any open-world PVP. But...I've heard Harbinger's...uh, not very nice. To anybody. e_e Most populated server, yes, but the community is apparently crud. Anyway; Ebon Hawk's got its fair share of trolls, can't really avoid those on any server you go to, but it's still pretty nice.
(And oi vey I hear you about the PVP paranoia... I used to be on Jung Ma when it actually was a PVP server. Before level sync.
Questing on my own in some remote corner of Tatooine on a low-level character - up comes a level 55 fully-geared opposite-faction character and starts beating me into the ground with no warning. Thank goodness that was on an assassin...I hurriedly stealthed out, watched the other guy wander around for a bit looking for me, and then he ran off. That and many other instances were what motivated me to migrate to Begeren Colony and Ebon Hawk. XD)Anyway! Back to Quinn! SIX! MORE! DAYS!!
Quinn: *limply waving a flag around* Hurrah.
...what, you're not excited?
Quinn: Why does everyone seem to think I will be able to be killed?
Because the developers would no doubt put that option in to appease people who hate you. Even though the Quinncident was eight to nine years ago in-game time.
Quinn: ...
Also because people are whiny crybabies who would ragequit if they didn't get that option.
Quinn: *rapid eye twitching*
Never fear! You have your loyal fangirl army to defend you.
Quinn: Errrr...
...and your wife/best friend/lover/good ally, whatever your positive relationship with the Sith Warrior was.
Quinn: *immediately perks up*
Aww.

I'm not sure what the problem is... you only have two companions? Did you do your class story, or did you level straight to 60 and start Fallen Empire? If so, then you won't be able to go back and get your other companions, as you are locked out of class story content after starting Fallen Empire (or Knights of the Eternal Throne).
-
Doing more research, this appears to be the same way some mobs look/move when they are far in the distance. Wondering why it's doing that to only these kinds of mounts at close range.
Some mobs have moved that way since...gosh, I want to say 4.0? Somewhere before that...? I'm not sure. But it's like that for everyone, regardless of their computer specs or graphical settings. NPC's walking around on the fleet and on various worlds have their weapons floating a foot or two behind them, stuttering along to catch up as the NPC's walk smoothly. Same happens for mounts with animations (creature mounts, walker mounts). The animation stutters a little. I have a graphics card that's capable of running the game on Ultra settings (mostly), and it *still* stutters. After a few years, however, I barely notice it anymore.
-
Oh, I didn't know that despite living in Europe, I can play on American servers too. I thought it's the same as WoW.
Which PVE server do you recommend?
Ebon Hawk! Definitely Ebon Hawk. It's got a bustling community, it's great for roleplay (so I've heard and observed, though I'm still too shy to get into roleplay myself), and the community is overall very friendly and welcoming.

Yaaaaay, my Quinn thing was decent!
You should post it in the fanfic forum too. ^^Ehehahhealfsfslfs *hides in corner*
I can barely work up the courage to post anything in the Short Fic Weekly Challenge thread. Posting this story here was a result of sleep deprivation and temporary insanity. XD I'm just glad it was readable and not overly weird.Though, my absolute favorite swtor bug of all time has nothing to do with the warrior at all, sorry off topic!
I used to do this over and over til I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard.
I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard!
Oh my gosh...that was priceless.Zash: I have news for youuuuuuuuuuuu *eyes bug out* EVERYONE DO THE CHICKEN DANCE CHRIIIIIIISTMAS CHRIIIIIIISTMAS TIIIIIIIIME IS HEEEEEEEEEEERE ~
Inquisitor: *stands there stoically like "I apologize for my insane master, I'm used to it, please ignore her*"
Zash: WHAT IS THIS...EVERYTHING TASTES LAVENDER...BUT FEELS TANGERINE...
Inquisitor: *long-suffering sigh*

this might be a little annoying but i just started off the game and i wanted to get some cartel coins to star of so please click on my referral link it would help a lot
Welcome to the game.
Referral links are not allowed in the main body of your post (even if you only post it once, it's considered spam and will likely be reported). You can, however, put them in your signature.@OP: Glad to see I was wrong - maybe it IS possible to "un-use" someone's referral link. I hope you get this resolved!

I wrote a Quinn thing.
...in about an hour. I am not very coherent right now (it's late, been a long day, aaaaaand I forgot to eat dinner, whoops...). But I hope the Quinn thing is okay.
On another note, the
is fantastic for writing stuff like this. My warrior's name is Virne Azhak. I constantly get her last name backwards: is it Azhak or Ahzak? I'm not sure what I originally wrote down, but it's Azhak now. XDWarning: Spoilers for the Quinncident, of course. Also for Imperial Ilum and the Sith Warrior story on Voss. And a title the Inquisitor gets at the end of *their* story, as well as one blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to the end boss of said Inquisitor's story. Thou hast been warned.
Virne sat on the edge of her bed. Just her bed now, as it had been for some months. It still felt cold in the middle of the night. She deliberately pushed all such thoughts out of her mind and resumed working on a report to the Dark Council. It had been a month since Ilum, but the Empire as whole was still dealing with the fallout from Malgus’s coup. Virne herself had volunteered to route out the last insurgents. Nudge them back into the Empire’s fold was what she’d actually been doing. What Malgus had done was wrong, no one doubted that – but his ideas of uniting all races under the Imperial banner…that had more merit than anyone save Darth Marr, Darth Nox, and Virne herself seemed to realize.
Which was what Virne was writing about in her report. If the Empire is to grow past its struggles, she wrote, following some of Malgus’s ideals would not be our death. Rather, it would be – to use the traitor’s terminology, if you’ll forgive me – our rebirth. At its current rate the Empire will stagnate, wither, and fade if we do nothing. You have seen the merits of so-called “alien” races: consider Darth Nox, as one shining example.
“Shining” was probably the wrong word to use, given Nox’s…darker…tendencies.
She alone has proven that a mere “alien” is more than a match for a human many years and experiences her senior. If anyone has—
There was a knock on the door.
Virne instinctively glanced up, even though the motion was unnecessary. The person’s sense radiated through the Force: not Vette’s bubbly presence, or Pierce’s gruff, mildly sleazy demeanor. And as 2V-R8 didn’t have a presence in the Force…
She set her jaw. She would not show weakness. “Come in, Captain.”
The door slid aside, and Malavai Quinn entered. His eyes were downcast, but they flicked up to Virne for a brief instant as if gauging her reaction. From his sense in the Force, he was…contrite. Ashamed. Malavai Quinn was not one to let his emotions color his body language – but here he did. He almost seemed to shrink right into the air, as if he expected Virne to backhand him just for showing his face. His posture was rigid, but shy. Virne’s eyebrow twitched upwards. Why the remorse now? They had…talked about the incident. Many times. Why was now different?
…resignation settled a heavy weight in her heart.
Had something else happened…?
“My lord,” Quinn began. His jaw worked, as though he was trying to say something else, but no sound came out.
“What has happened now?” Virne forced herself to ask. She set aside the datapad and watched him. It was painful to realize her own wariness.
“…I…came to say that…”
“That…what?” Virne prompted, when Quinn again fell silent. Something had happened, hadn’t it? She steeled herself. He’d say he wanted a divorce. He’d say but now I have to kill you for even briefly thinking like that traitor Malgus. Or worse: he’d beg and plead to be let back into her life on a more intimate basis, instead of the cold-but-professional relationship they’d kept up these past few months. Then again…knowing Quinn (did she know him? Even that thought was like a knife in her heart), he wouldn’t lower himself to grovel. He was…many things. A sycophantic boot-licker was not one of them.
Not to her face, at least…
“…that I’m sorry,” Quinn finally said, words rushing out, tumbling on top of one another. He looked up to meet her eyes, and she finally saw his face clearly: it was shadowed and haunted. “For everything, my lov—my lord. For everything I’ve done to you, for the—incident, as we call it—“ He gritted his teeth, both hands gripping his forehead and small fistfuls of his hair. “We call it that, don’t we,” he went on, in a low tone. “The incident. As if it’s just a mildly unpleasant bump in the road we both would rather forget. But we cannot forget – and I know full well your feelings on the subject. I know why you distrust me. And you are right to do so. After that, how could you trust me again? I was a fool. I was a stubborn, prideful, arrogant, naïve fool to ever think Baras could be trusted above you. How could I--!?” He angrily cut himself off.
Not even the Moff Broysc situation had gotten Quinn so worked up.
“Whatever you think of me is well-deserved,” Quinn went on, pained eyes steady on Virne. “Whatever—whatever punishment you wish to give, I accept it. If I’m to beg like a dog at your feet to gain your trust again, so be it – I’ll gladly do it. Whatever you would have me do, I will do it. I…” He was silent a moment. “…I hate this distance between us,” he said, just whispering now. “I despise it. And I know it is my fault, every moment of it. Whatever I can do to bridge this gap, whatever I can do to atone for my mistake, I will do it. I lo—“
“Stop,” Virne whispered, holding up a hand. It was shaking. She stilled it and forced herself to speak past the lump in her throat. “Just…stop. Don’t…don’t go there, not yet.” She couldn’t hear it yet. It was too painful.
Quinn looked like she’d taken her lightsaber and stabbed him through the heart.
They were silent, just watching each other. Virne clenched her jaw again to stop the trembling. She wouldn’t cry. She never cried. The bed she sat on didn’t feel comfortable anymore, but rather like a slab of cement, the coldness sending jagged spikes all the way up her spine. “What…you can do, Captain,” she finally said, unable to speak above a murmur, “what I would want…are answers.” She swallowed hard. “We’ve never talked about the answers, have we?”
“Answers? …my lord?”
“Why?” she hissed, and in that one word her fists clenched and the bookshelves around her room shuddered. “Why? Why would you choose Baras’s word over mine? Why would you default to him, instead of me?”
Quinn remained rigid. It took him a long while to answer: “…blind loyalty.”
“It must have been blind indeed, to trust the Sith who helped you a decade ago over your own wife,” Virne said in a low tone, bitterness edging her words. Everything in her ached to know the truth. Was that it, then? Just blind, stupid loyalty? “Why did you do it? Why did you listen to him? What did he threaten you with? My death?” She scoffed softly. “Yes, clearly, that was it. What a threat.”
“Not yours.”
“Your own?”
Quinn’s lip twitched. Pure shame filtered through the Force.
“…you couldn’t come to me?” Virne asked, abject pain in her tone. She fought to keep that pain in check. She couldn’t be so vulnerable… “You couldn’t have trusted me for protection?”
“My lord,” Quinn protested, “I wanted what was best for the Empire. You said you knew one way to do it. Baras said he knew another. You are Sith Lords – I am a worm caught struggling between two titans in comparison. The machinations of the Sith are far, far beyond anything I can comprehend. For the briefest moment, there…there was doubt…” To his credit, he didn’t hang his head. His gaze, blurry with unshed tears now, was still steady. “And I acted in that moment. I put the Empire before anything else. And…I realize my folly now, when it is far too late.”
“You were there when the Hands contacted me. You knew of them, you knew what I was doing, you were on Voss, you saw the Emperor’s Voice!” Virne was hardly aware of her own voice rising – and her rising from the bed to stand in front of Quinn – until the last few words. It was an effort to calm down. She took a deep, shaking breath. “And yet you still doubted me?” she asked. Her voice sounded…young. Like a child’s. It was another thing entirely to show this level of openness. “Did our love mean nothing in that moment of doubt? I am your wife, Malavai Quinn! Did that mean nothing to you? Our marriage vows – to honor, to cherish until the end of our days – did that never cross your mind? Did you never think to trust me?”
“I didn’t know! I didn’t—“ Quinn shivered, his teeth grinding together as he squeezed his eyes shut. “I didn’t know,” he whispered again.
Virne was silent. She’d run out of things to say. All their past discussions about the incident – the betrayal – had never gone beyond I’m sorry, my lord; I swear to make it up to you and our relationship will take time to repair and I forgive you, but I’m not ready to let you back into my life just yet. This was…deeper. Everything had been brought to the light now, everything was in the open.
So it hadn’t been that he secretly hated her. It hadn’t been that he was a sociopath at heart, cleverly concealing it from even her skilled senses. It hadn’t been that he was just that much of a coward.
It had been…simple fear, and doubt. A worm caught between titans, as he’d said.
Sith locked in power struggles devastated those under their command, often without a care for the lives they so casually destroyed. To them, non-Force-sensitives were pawns, were tools to be used, discarded, and broken outright if it suited their needs.
Not to Virne.
Quinn hadn’t known that? For three years, they had been working together – for two, they had been romantically involved – for a few blissful weeks, they had been married. All that time, and he had never known that Virne wouldn’t throw him to the wolves when it pleased her? That she wasn’t interested in fulfilling her own power fantasies, but was instead devoted to the Empire as a whole?
He hadn’t known that…?
“As…I said before, my lord…” Quinn didn’t meet her eyes now. He didn’t dare. “Whatever punishment for my folly you think is best…I will accept, and carry it out. If that means divorce, I…understand entirely.” He gave a nod. It seemed like it was more to convince himself than to convince her. “I will even draw up the papers, if you so wish. Or if…there is a more…permenant sentence…” His gaze strayed to her lightsaber, resting on the table next to the bed.
Virne followed his gaze. Other Sith would do so in a heartbeat. Passion made them strong, but love made them weak, they would claim. Of course they couldn’t have a traitor among their crew. But Virne…she was not other Sith.
If Quinn had indeed not known that…now he would.
“I don’t want revenge,” she murmured. She drew closer to Quinn, who looked up, an almost startled expression on his shadowed face. “What I would want, Malavai,” she whispered, putting one hand gently on the back of his head and leaning towards him, “…is trust.”
He hesitated for the briefest second. His aura in the Force flared with sudden hope. Then he rested his forehead against hers, eyes closed.
They held each other silently, far into the starless night.

What? No. The walkers on Iokath that were briefly mentioned are (likely; not many details are known yet) an entirely separate aspect of PVP, completely unrelated to the walker mounts available.
The walker mounts - such as the one currently in the cartel market - are just mounts. None of them have any PVP abilities.
-
In regards to where Quinn has been..
I was bad and found out ahead of time. I know where he has been.
- le spoiler -
Might want to edit that out of your post; some of us don't want *any* spoilers, no matter how minor.

The new operation's soundtrack sounds quite awesome. The game's soundtrack in general much better than anything put out by Disney so far.
The raised circular battle platform gives me Blood Hunt's Jos and Vaulk flashback nightmares.
That's actually music from Two Steps from Hell, not in-game music.
(But it sure SHOULD be the soundtrack! It's epic enough.) Well, in the video the OP released, anyway - I haven't heard of any videos that showcase a new soundtrack for the operation.Thank you for putting this video together, OP!!
-
I already said that on Twitter, but I'll say it here again:
So many teasers, and I have yet to see one with Malavai Quinn speaking!
Did they release ANOTHER teaser? Or is it still just the two?
If worst comes to worst... flock to the livestream this Thursday and flood the chat with Quinn questions. WE DEMAND QUINN!!
(Sadly, I won't be able to make it.) -
That whole betrayal thing was just so poorly written that it leaves too much to ponder. Although, the new sequence of events makes more sense that he does the whole Quinncident before expressing his undying love, although the dialogue no longer matches up quite right.
I wonder if the person who wrote the warrior's story, and the person who wrote the warrior's companions, were two different people, if Quinn seems so vastly out of character.
...or does he? Are we seeing him in a better light because we really like his character, or who he seems to be? All throughout the warrior's story, he's seemed nothing but calm and professional, the model Imperial soldier - and then suddenly with the Quinncident (I forget who first coined that phrase, but I saw it pop up a lot in the Short Fic Weekly Challenge thread
), he's all but furiously ranting at you and whatever companion you bring, not even saying "I'm so sorry... I love you/I respect you a great deal, but...I have to do this." Nope. It's just "You're a fool, Baras is my true master, hahaha you never noticed, I've been waiting for this a long time, YOU DIE NOW, QUINN NO LIKE YOU!" ("Not yet!" "The vorcha Councillor will kindly refrain from further interruptions... [facepalm]")If you'd been a jerk to him, then yeah, his rantings would be justified and then some. But if you were really nice to him, befriended him, or MARRIED THE GUY...he seems like he has a personality transplant, or as a complete and utter sociopath.
So, is he? And we, looking through our rose-colored glasses, just never noticed??
I'm so confused now. XD
-
I have seen a new Facebook post about Quinn and Elara. People who wrote something positive about Quinn or just said they would choose him, were insulted...It is so pathetic and immature to act like this. Especially considering the fact that this is just a game! That is why I did not write any comment on that post, why would I waste my time arguing with complete strangers about a fictional character? They wouldn't understand anyway, they only see the world in black and white.
(There are arguments on this forum as well, but that is a different case. I'm up to "philosophical" debates as long as it doesn't mean insulting each other mindlessly)
Who insulted them? Other people chiming in about their favorite companion, or the BioWare team themselves? :/
Basically,Quinn tells all the other companions that he'll enjoy killing them,
to which they have their own responses.
Which confused me, I understand Pierce and Vette, but what has he got against Jaesa and Broonmark that'd make him enjoy killing them?
I've since seen YouTube videos about it...yikes, Quinn. He can say all the mean things he wants about Jaesa, Pierce, and Broonmark, but NOT VETTE. NOT. VETTE. For that alone my warrior might consider (lightly) choking him. For a second. Just as a warning. While probably saying, "Hey, I know you don't like her, but mind your tone. She's family now. ...literally. She married my brother. He is also a Sith. I love you dearly, but I can't be responsible for the things my incredibly hot-headed brother will do to you if he finds you insulting his beloved wife. Sorry." XD
As for Jaesa... light-side, she's no better than a Jedi. Dark-side, she's probably everything a non-Force-sensitive person would (secretly or openly) despise about the Sith: arrogant, bloodthirsty, a mindless maniac with no vision for the Empire, only for herself.
And Broonmark...ew, filthy alien, what is this furball doing on my crew, anyway?
-
Oh i kept the armor i am just missing 2 for the full set. I made a new toon and sent it to that one before deleting sorry for confusion was trying to find out if i could still get last 2 and if the event was coming back
ty for reply and again sorry for confussion
Well, we're not entirely sure if the event's ever coming back - there have been some vague hints as to its recurrence in the future - but it's best not to rely on those. As for getting the last two pieces of armor...sorry, but no, they're no longer able to be gained.
-
The Heroic Star Fortresses are actually soloable - they're more difficult than the solo mode (with some advanced classes/disciplines, MUCH more difficult), but they're not impossible to do.
Here's a guide that Dulfy wrote for navigating the Heroic Star Fortress solo: Star Fortresses Heroic guide.
-
Or... you can do what I do: make the same one. Same look. Same name (with a tiny difference so that the game allows it). All my fem warriors are the same person. Her voice is too distinct and it would drive me crazy if it spoke from someone else's face, even if that someone else is another of my toons.
Hmmm...I could. o.o My first warrior's name is just her first name, so I guess I could make her lookalike's name be her *full* name, first and last, since spaces are allowed in names now, yay...and it would be pretty interesting seeing what she looks like throughout her entire storyline as body type three, since I only changed her to that right before I was about to start KOTFE... *considers*
Haha, yeah, know what you mean about the voices. o_e I play this game with my mom occasionally, and together we made a male knight. I already had a male knight, and it was just plain jarring to hear an acid-tongued twi'lek's voice coming out of this very calm, soft-spoken, compassionate cathar. XD But it worked out in the end. The voice seems to fit both of them now; or I've just gotten used to it.

Hi guys! Long time Quinn fan, but new to the thread. I thought I would share some of my love! Art commissions done by talented friend Vennecca.
The wedding: https://venneccablindart.tumblr.com/post/158808353619/the-wedding-of-amessaa-and-malavai-quinn-sketch
The reunion:
https://venneccablindart.tumblr.com/post/157186874409/sketch-commission-for-my-guildie-this-is-her
Can't wait for the 11th!
Welcome, fellow Quinnmancer!
...WHOA. The wedding drawing... oh my word. That's gorgeous. Both the drawing itself, and the details...aww, the smile on Quinn's face - and your Sith lady's dress, holy cow.
So beautiful. And I love the lights above them... gosh, your friend is talented!! -
On a Quinn note again out of curiosity, I decided to take another companion in with me to the betrayal scene - never done that before & this is Quinn-warrior number 6 (I think). I was going to take Pierce but then decided to Google it and found
and then this onesI took light-side Jaesa with me as after watching the Pierce one it was as predictable as I thought it would be.
...you can take another companion with you to the Betrayal Scene!?
I never knew. I just went with Quinn alone, as I thought you were supposed to...well dang, now I'll have to go with Vette on my male warrior. I can't make another female warrior to romance Quinn - he's too firmly implanted in my mind as the husband of my first warrior ever. XD -
*holds up shield timidly* I like Lana.
That said she is forced upon the player regardless of feelings which I think is the REAL reason people have strong feelings about her. I loved her on my male Jedi who romanced her but on my female Jedi I was like geez Lana I havent seen my boyfriend in 5 yrs....how about letting me be together sometime with him.
I think it is BW being cheap about VAs. She was wonderful in the storyline where she was the LI but other characters got far too little screen time. I would have love for Theron to be the one to rescue my female knight and have Lana rescue the male. Put whoever was the current love interest in charge and by your side.
I like Lana, too - but you're right, she IS forced on players a lot. :/ It's all well and good for those who romanced her, which I guess was the intention, but for people who didn't (those who said, for instance, "Heck nah, I'm staying faithful to my original companions!" [gasp shock horror, BioWare, there ARE people who did that
]), Lana feels unnecessarily inserted into the story. A creator's pet. Which is kind of sad - there was A LOT that could be done with her character, a lot that could be explored... her philosophies, why she's different than most Sith, her interpretation of the Sith Code, her work in Intelligence - but all that got shunted aside in favor of "I'M A LOVE INTEREST, I HAVE A LIGHTSABER AND CAN [barely*] USE DA FORCE, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!11!!!"*Really, Lana, trying to Force open a not-very-thick door...and failing miserably. I cringed so hard at that part.
-
Lana isn't there to be a character, she's there to stroke the player's ego.
She must be doing a pretty miserable job at it, because the only time when I actually appreciate her input is when my consular - who romanced her - gets a kind word from her. Which is rarely.
All other times, I'd rather see Theron, Senya, and Koth in charge of things....and now Jorgan, too. And Quinn, of course, when he returns.
It started as a question. "Is Theron going to be in KOTFE?" And snowballed from there. It's buried in the Story and Lore section as of right now, having died down a bit since KOTET ended...but it's still there.

I'm sorry that happened for you, OP. Unfortunately, it's a common occurrence. There's a whole thread in the Heroics/Flashpoints/Operations section of the forums dedicated solely to the weird people you meet in groupfinder...titled, "The Weird People You Meet In Groupfinder."
It does seem to be a mindset among some of the "veteran" players in this game: newbies not allowed. First time going on a raid? You must have the highest rated gear possible (even if said gear is only available through said raid), you must know every mechanic inside, outside, backwards, in reverse, upside-down, and imploded through a time-space warp, you must have achievements reaching to the stars to even be eligible to be selected to go on said raid, etc. etc.
...even if the raid's been available for less than a week. :/ And that attitude bleeds over into flashpoints, too. OBVIOUSLY everyone there is an elite veteran player, so therefore you must be, too--what the heck, you're NEW??? Ewwwwwwwww! Get away, you filthy little newbie! Bleck bleck ew bleck uuugh my hands are dirty now that I've stared at the same screen as a NEWBIE, EWWWWW.
...WHAT is WITH people and that attitude? How on earth are newbies supposed to learn if they're not given a chance?? >_< It's one of the things that bugs me to no end - and yet there's also no end to that sort of elitism and condescending jerk...rear-end-ery.
In any case - don't let this one experience ruin the whole game for you. It will happen, and the best you can do is to put those people on ignore, queue up again, and roll with the punches. Report them, if they're being enough of an obnoxious jerk (if they're actively harassing you in whispers or group chat, for one thing). And don't let it get you down. It hurts, it's annoyng and obnoxious to deal with, but it's just a few people in this massive game. Don't let them ruin it all for you.
On another note, what server are you on? Some servers are, as a whole, much more friendly than others.
