Hit Level 50... now what?


Yozbick

Recommended Posts

Hit Level 50 with my Powertech. He's 400 in Biochem and his other crafting skills (my four alts are all 400s in their skills at this point too). So, now what?

 

1) Crafting stinks...

 

Nothing really worth making that I don't already have except for the three purple Level 50 Biochem things. All of them require drops from dungeon bosses on Hard mode. Each is only marginally better than the purple Level 48 stuff and after next patch they will be useless in PVP (the PVP stims and medpacs are better).

 

2) Galactic Trade stinks...

 

I've got plenty of money, but there's nothing there worth buying at this point. I can't find a better blaster or better armor or better relics or better implants or a better earpiece than I already have. I keep checking, but the rare "upgrade" I see is like 100,000 credits for a 2 point increase in one stat (usually with a 2 point decrease in another).

 

3) Space Combat stinks...

 

Once you have the proper gear on your ship (I think I have all the Level 5 purple stuff now) all the space missions are a cakewalk. Moreoever, the high level ones are just the low level ones repeated, but with tougher ships. So once you get through the Pollith Minefield, you've seen everything.

 

Moreover, the rewards are worthless once you hit Level 50. There's only one thing worth getting... a Level 50 purple bag. It costs 375 commendations, which is several days worth of space missions. It gives a random level 50 purple (the one I received last, I could not even use).

 

4) Open PVP stinks...

 

I did the weekly quest in about 15 minutes this morning. Ilum is a joke. Usually the entire zone has about 2-8 people in it. The Pubs and us just stand there swapping control for the quests. We don't want to actually kill them or even fight them because we need them to flip the point to their control so we can take it back (and the same is true for them).

 

One guy tried to actually fight this morning and everyone yelled at him. And they were right to do so because he was screwing up the quests for everyone else. We NEED them to show up, live and succeed so we can get our quests done. There's comparatively little reward for actual PVP, and you're usually screwing someone else over if you do it.

 

5) PVP rewards stink...

 

PVP rewards are pretty horrible. I have grabbed two so far after doing the PVP weekly on back-to-back days (guess it resets Tuesday morning?). I had also saved a Champion bag and hoarded enough badges for two more when I hit Level 50.

 

One item was a clear upgrade -- the only clear upgrade pre-Battlemaster gear, which doesn't open til Valor 60. One was a marginal upgrade, which forced me to sacrifice a tiny bit in another area. None of the gear represents an upgrade, except that it gives Expertise.

 

Each piece of gear's Expertise represents about a 1.1% increase in damage/healing done and a 1.1% decrease in damage taken. It will add up over time in creating a PVP gear set, but it's going to take a lot of repeating those three warzones (or doing the quickie Ilum quests once per day and once per week). It's also going to require some decisions because a 1.1% increase/decrease may not offset the loss of certain stats -- at least not on the Powertech set.

 

5) The War Zones are getting old...

 

Huttball pops too much. All three can be bad if there's a pre-made or an especially bad PUG, but Huttball is the worst when it comes to that.

 

What else?

 

Are there any decent dungeons to do at Level 50? Do the Flashpoints offer good rewards? I will probably continue my class quest, just because, but is there anything else to do?

 

It was a lot of fun getting to 50, but I feel like I just beat KOTOR and there's nothing more to do. What am I missing?

Go shoot AT AT or whatever they are... That is end game PVP. Or grind up some champ gear so you can... shoot at AT AT :)

 

I almost laughed when I did 50 end game PVP. I mean look at what Mythic created 10 years ago and this is the best we can get?

havent you seen other posts just like these? why not just go find them and complain there?

 

Do you have an answer?

 

I'm not complaining. I had fun. It was well worth it. But if this is all there is, then the game's pretty much done.

Heroics of almost all the dungeons, 8 and 16 person raids, another raid coming out in the patch do in a few days with a new flashpoint as well. World Bosses.

 

March update with have a new planet, new sp content, new warzones, new flashpint, new raid.

 

Seems like plenty of content for me.

Like I told other people, which game had more to do when you hit lvl cap. All themepark MMOs are the same, what do you expect?

I enjoy the bg pvp but DAOC really did have something giong with their RvR system. I'm pretty dumbfounded as to why no other game has tried to implement this. Hell even SWG had a similar system with player crafted/controlled pvp bases. Really wouldn't take much for them to add into the game also.

I don't think there are enough ppl playing to have RvR warfare like DAoC did.

What did you do when you finished Skyrim?

 

Do you really compare the single player game skyrim, that is supposed to end (which it does not btw) eventually to a MMO that should have more to offer in the endgame then during the lvling process? Meaning a game that should entertain you, even after you are done with the "lvling"?

 

I mean I wouldn't say anything if I had to pay 13 bucks per months once I finished skyrim just so i can keep playing it.... that is not the case though
