ElektronJohn Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 For Republic (only because that's what I play)... Smugglers/Troopers - Ord Mantell Knights/Consulars - Tython All classes converge to Coruscant at level 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Sith classes are together while imp agent and bounty hunter together. You probably have to split for first 10 levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital-N-Plus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 what is the list of starting areas for each class ? at what point do the different starting areas merge into the same planet ? Ord Mantell: Troopers and Smugglers Tython: Jedi Knights and Jedi Consulars Hutta: Imperial Agents and Bounty Hunters Korriban: Sith Inquisitors and Sith Warriors All classes merge upon leaving these planets for their factions' respective fleets.

Fidelicatessen Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think it would be fun for four friends to start four troopers or bounty hunters. At level 10, one could spec into tanking and one into healing while the other two handle DPS. You'd have your very own Havoc Squad! The same could be done with Consulars/Inquisitors.

Adric_the_Red Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) You'll be able to meet each other literally after you walk out the door of the starting conversation.Unless they end up in different instances of the planet. In which case they could be standing "on the exact same spot" but not be able to see each other.... Get together beforehand and make sure everyone knows what all the others' character names are. Then invite everyone into a group, get all switched to the same instance, and you'll be good to go. I think it would be fun for four friends to start four troopers or bounty hunters. At level 10, one could spec into tanking and one into healing while the other two handle DPS. You'd have your very own Havoc Squad! The same could be done with Consulars/Inquisitors. Downside of the "everyone is a Trooper" approach is you will have to do all the Trooper story missions multiple times. You can check the box in your preferences to "Allow access to same class story areas", but only one person will be allowed to actually advance their story at a time. The others will be able to help kill stuff, but will be in "spectator mode" during conversations, and not able to advance their story while in someone else's story instance. (The alternative would be to disband the group and all go through the story instance solo every time you get to one, but that would be rather disruptive to the group dynamic, I think). A group with players from all 4 base classes would still have 3 players in "spectator mode" during all the story conversations, but at least you wouldn't be going through the same instance, and seeing the same conversations, 4 times, every time. It only takes a few hours or less to finish the starter planet, depending on how much stuff you skip (or don't skip). After that, the class stories all go through the same planets, in the same order, so in the long run I think it would be more fun for everyone to be different classes, and avoid all the repetition.

That is not entirely true, at points in each story different classes go back to different planets that were already visited/done. For example: At the start of chapter 2 for the trooper he/she must go back to Tattooine. On the other hand, the Consular has to go back to Nar Shaddaa.But these "steps backward" are usually short so it is not that big a deal. Other than that, I agree. I would suggest each player play a different class go through the starter planets in pairs and meet up at level 10 (or whatever level you are upon finishing the starter planet). But if two or more players want to play the same class obviously do not forbid it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
