JnEricsonx Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It'd be nice if you could skip through it, I mean, yeah, solo mode is nice and all, but still, feels like I'm wasting time in that sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papazmurf Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 You don't. /thread Oh? I mean I know you can do the new OPs without doing Forged Alliances, but I wasn't aware the SOR story would start without Forged Alliances. Perhaps you could explain this?

Perhaps you could explain this? Go to Rishi and you can manually start SoR without playing FA first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnEricsonx Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well, that I did not know! Now, do you miss out on the companion weapon if you haven't completed the FA quests, or do you automatically get it anyway when you go to Rishi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djiini Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 As far as I know, you miss out on the 300 commendations--so if they come in the same reward as the weapons, I'd have to say most likely. But there's more than one thing that gives out 192 rating weapon for your companions in SoR, so as long as you only want to gear one it won't be an issue.

JnEricsonx Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Fair enough, it'd just be nice to know, because running the FA stuff for a few hours seems like cheating if you're doing it solo cause of the droid, but I figure at this point, getting team members for it is kinda pointless.

branmakmuffin Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Fair enough, it'd just be nice to know, because running the FA stuff for a few hours seems like cheating if you're doing it solo cause of the droid, but I figure at this point, getting team members for it is kinda pointless. If you don't want to do it because you think it's "cheating," that's your problem. If you think it's boring, that's a bit more understandable (because it is a bit mindless with the droid, although it is actually a better way to see the story, since no one is there posting "spacebar plz!"). People do still run the FA FPs on tactical, you know. You don't have to solo them. Edited March 8, 2015 by branmakmuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you skip FA: - You lose free 162 gear for your character - You have never met Lana and Theron before when you get to Rishi. Dialogue will change. Not sure about: - 297 Basic commendations - Companion mainhand These are probably linked to SoR Prelude quest (FA). Haven't tested this.

I'm gonna have to skip it on one of my chars just for that. I didn't know that either but I guess it makes sense since you haven't met them if you don't do FA. Preview of sorts here, from an official TOR Twitch stream, featuring Courtney Woods, Charles Boyd and Hillary "Pocket" Nicole. < Player Character >: Am I supposed to know you? Lana Beniko: My name is Lana Beniko. I am a Sith Lord, though I have no interest in the title. Lana Beniko: I used to serve as advisor to Darth Arkous of the Dark Council--until he was revealed as a traitor and consequently executed. Also, while talking with Qaarah the first time around on Rishi, provided one chose to skip Forged Alliances, the following happens: Please note that by continuing this conversation, you are missing out on the Shadow of Revan prelude. The Prelude introduces you to new allies, sends you on exciting story missions, and includes a cutscene with companions aboard your ship. OPTION ONE: Start Shadow of Revan Prelude OPTION TWO: Continue This Conversation Edited March 8, 2015 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtJeremy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Not to forget you gain 2.5 levels of XP for doing them. I do them for this alone, and the comms pretty much pay for half the Basic Level 60 gear. And the Companion weapon is pretty handy. And I quite like the story behind the Forged Alliance story arc. I've only seen it 3 times (twice on Imp side and once on Pub side) so I can imagine it could get tedious 5-6 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghisallo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yeah I mean who wants 300 coms to get things out? Or who wants to actually know what's going on. As someone else said if you are playing a video game, especially an MMO approaching endgame...you are already wasting your time...doing forged alliances takes no time...unless you have clinical ADHD and are off your meds.
