Aries_cz Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I don't really remember I was "grinding" for sprint, when I got it, I just went "hmm, cool", it certainly was not some major goalpost for me. But saving enough money for speeder piloting was a major PITA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence_of_Light Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I remember having to buy a new speeder for each speeder rank. And there weren't exactly many options, either. Oh, and remember 1.1 Ilum? Edited August 4, 2015 by Essence_of_Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaedusz Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) - Grinding over and over and over for Supreme Inquisitor Set on Hoth with that Talz boss. - Transferring your assets to the new merged servers. Having to rename all your chars cus all the names are taken. - The epic TIonese armor sets. Which subsequently,recently started reappearing on the CM with different coloration, but there was a Window in which you could see only Old players wearing them.

SteveTheCynic Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Observation: not "planetary comms", but "per-planet comms"... The item called "Planetary Commendation" came in with 2.0, replacing a different type of commendation for each planet. And real long-time players would know the difference. (I started not long before 2.0 came out, just long enough for my first character to reach Coruscant and do a bit of work there, and be frustrated that I had these "Tython Commendations" that were no longer of any use....)

Ruskaeth Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 GTN being faction based but I seem to recall a cross faction terminal on Nar Shaddaa There it was and it was pretty much the only way to send things to the other side. I am not sure if I recall this correctly, but one could not send mail to other faction long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThorgrimLutgen Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Only Long Time SWTOR Players Will Remember... - When fleet was the only place that had the GTN Indeed, and only applied to your own faction. To sell or buy cross faction, one needed to travel to the GTN on NS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodyn Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The development team has done some excellent work since launch. TOR was an understandably rocky start, and I'm happy to see how much more streamlined it's become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyaniteD Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure the GTN terminal on Tatooine also existed right from the start. It wasn't cross-faction, but it had 2 terminals for pub side and two for imp side. no legacy before 1.2. no guild banks before 1.2 pvp on Ilum, destroying transports with shoulder cannons, mounting turrets, "crating", etc. oh, the good old days.... no moddable belts or bracers (or at least only as super-rare world drops) people sucking at making Sents and Maras do damage Operatives/Scoundrels being excluded from ops per se Edited August 4, 2015 by KyaniteD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruskaeth Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Grav round armor reduction stacking up from multiple commandos. SoA being so bugged it tested the patience of raiders to the extreme. Heavy Fabricator SM having 16 man health (or HM health, i forget) and gating a lot of guilds from progressing. DPSing big npcs (rancor type of things?) on Belsavis and taking time to benchmark DPS in guild. Edited August 4, 2015 by Ruskaeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShenLongKazama Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Creating a character, and after leveling the char up to 50, you realize that you don't like the eyebrows but you can't change it unless you start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calarand Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Carefully choosing which abilities to train at level up because I couldn't afford to train them all at once for the money from questing... and yes, at 50 I was still slugging around at the 1st speed on the CE mount because that was the only one I had.

Bobs_YourUncle Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Some of those came with 3.0. Skill tree, paying for skills to name two. I started 1 or 2 weeks prior to 3.0. I wouldn't really say that makes a long time player. But wow at some of the others lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Inquisitors being restricted to only being able to wear skirts, skirts, and more skirts. As a woman i have to say only a man would think running in a long skirt/dress is feasible -step, step, skirt tangles in your legs, faceplant- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucesim Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 IIRC the capitals have always had the GTN. Skirtbound inquisitors were annoying. Was thrilled to bits the 1st time my inquisitor managed to get some fair dinkum pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
