Frenesi Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Do that now. Level sync is going to make it a helluva lot more annoying. Nah. It can't get anymore annoying than it is now. No way bunch of scaled mobs can make it worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSRB Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm going to level up a brand new toon (probably a Soth Warrior; most likely Juggernaut) in order to check out the new streamlined leveling process. Honestly, it's likely to be two or three weeks before I spend any significant time on a level 60 character doing the new story content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentientomega Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Make my free 60, and test the highest-level heroics for soloability. Especially Oricon, and SX if they've changed the mechanic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftube Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'll be checking out the sync mechanics by strolling through various zones on a few planets, particularly starting areas on those planets and the bonus series zones. Then I'll run some heroics and mess around with the group finder and flashpoints. I'll probably check my crafting inventory and crew skills in general, as well as companions and the new influence system. After that, Ill start leveling a toon under the new 1-50 system and see how I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedia Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Reroll my male Sith Warrior for the 6th time. I've been away from the game for months, and the changes are making me want to experience it yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) And yet you keep posting every day. Imagine that. I paid for the time, my sub isn't up until first week of November, so I'm still playing the game while it's still in a form that's vaguely playable. If you don't like other paying customers pointing out how much they dislike what Bioware is going, you're also free to not read the forums. Quite often I find myself disagreeing with Max_Killjoy. As his name implies, he can be quite the killjoy with his grumpy negativity. And sometimes I agree with his posts actually. Regardless, it's important to have voices that contest changes made to the game. The only way we can influence the game's direction is by pointing out what we think is wrong. The day may come when Bioware does something with the game you dislike, Sarrkoth. I wonder if you'll just stay quiet about it, or if you will make your grievances known like Max does. I know which of the two I'd bet money on. Edited October 10, 2015 by Pscyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you been playing this game? Or are we talking about a different game with different developers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 How long have you been playing this game? Or are we talking about a different game with different developers? I didn't say it's happened a lot. But how many changes have you seen being made due to us saying "oh man, this is perfect, keep it up" compared to us screaming really loudly on the forum? There's been a few cases with the latter, but I can't think of any with the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyaniteD Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Nah. It can't get anymore annoying than it is now. No way bunch of scaled mobs can make it worse Of course I don't know how the scaling will work exactly, but things like the notorious strength datacron on Hoth may be a lot easier now than they may be in 4.0, plus a couple others in heroic areas that'll be a tad more tedious. Although, maybe the feeling of challenge and meaningful combat will add to the pride over the achievement. In that case you really should wait and make it an epic quest for the benefit of your legacy. Edited October 10, 2015 by KyaniteD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add it to the list of datacrons designed for groups; at least this one CAN be solo'd, mechanically, unlike the 2-man 'crons on Imp Balmorra/Pub Taris and the fleet ones (arguably the Quesh 2-man one - I've never been able to do that one solo, though it's alleged you can do it).

And that crap is why I don't bother with some of the datacrons -- they're just not worth the trouble unless you're a completionist. Not knocking on that, just, for some of us, it's "Meh, I have better things to do with my time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaerethDL Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 1. Spend a few days running my free 60 through the first nine chapters. Don't want to commit my existing 60s immediately. 2. Look at what has been done to the game as a whole (crafting, leveling, etc.). 3. Sit down with my wife and decide whether we want to unsub. 4. Not sure what to do after that. god you really have a positive outlook on life, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh devs want some "content" defined broadly" to require grouping. Que sera sera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavSalco Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Same here. I like choosing things and living with the consequences. I'm just going to go slow and take my time so I don't accidentally piss off my husband companions. The others? Well, I WANT them back, but I'll live without them if I have to. But not my companion husbands, I'll do whatever it takes to keep them happy. Not too worried about the new companions, except Theron, my male characters want him badly, hopefully he can be an actual companion and not a temp companion like Marr. lol DAMN! I'm so excited for the new story!!! Screw the other crap, I'm here for story, baby! Exactly I play my character the way he or she would behave rather than force them to do something that doesn't fit their character just to gain influence with X companion.

Aaryn Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Level up to 65 normally, visit the fleet station, buying endgame gear purchased by my marks and then... ya will drive around the station and wait for my mates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZutaraAvatar Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm really excited for KOTFE and have been for months, mainly because of the story. So, I'll probably jump right into the story after just checking out the changes that have been made. I'm really interested in seeing where the story goes, with you losing you companions, being captured, getting new companions and finding old ones.

roachfex Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'll be using the free level 60 to go through KoTFE content. I may wait a while - I'll also be taking accelerated xp alts back through planet and side quests I've been skipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icestar Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Save the names for another 20 alts. It is a good idea but it will get expensive to unlock so many characterslots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgettableone Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 After logging in I'm planning on 1. Assessing what mess has occurred in the bank concerning all the mats I've got and start some crafting runs if necessary. 2. Clean up any last minute sales I might have running and re-post anything that might be worth selling. 3. Transfer the 2 60's I've got stowed on a RE back home to ToFN 5. Create the free fresh 60 4. If I haven't finished by the time it launches, carry on running the remaining 60's through SOR and Ziost (which could feasibly take me a coupla weeks). 5. Work backwards through those already finished on SoR/Ziost and get them up to 65. 6. Make sure everyone's in 65 gear, banks and credits are narrowed down/streamlined for minimum silliness. 7. Get very drunk to recover from all of the above. 8. Start Fallen Empire on the fresh 60 as a test bed while referring to Dulfy (who by this time will most probably have everything mapped out in fantastic detail) and then work through the rest of the chars. 9. Sleep for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSchuyler Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I've written down all my stats for all my toons and companions, who are level 60 in the middle or end of Rishi. I will compare these to whatever the stats are on Xpac day. If they are the same and I still have green missions I'll head to Yavin and finish up Revan on all my toons, then head for the expansion. If I've been nerfed to a 56, I will log out. Pretty simple and shouldn't take long to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
