JennyFlynn Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm just wondering if anyone's held off on starting the KotFE chapters on their character until they know if/when their companion or LI returns? I've only just now brought my Trooper through all of it at the announcement of Chapter 11. My BH is still taking it very very slow in anticipation of her man returning and so's my 2nd Agent who's hopelessly devoted to Vector. I know there's the "gimme my peeps back now!" terminal but I'd really rather wait until they actually return via story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falensawino Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) More than you know. I wait until dulfy's story guides get released to safely plot a course through kotfe chapters to minimize crew losses and maximize positive gains. (like influence) [Chapters 1-9] dulfy.net/2015/10/20/swtor-knights-of-the-fallen-empire-quest-and-story-guide/ [Chapter 10] dulfy.net/2016/02/10/swtor-chapter-10-anarchy-in-paradise-story-guide/ Here's an example: Agent Only Trigger: Kaliyo meeting you swtor-chapter-x-conversation-affection-gains-agent.jpg What’s going on It’s really good to see you – Kaliyo approves We never did get along – Kaliyo disapproves Dufly's story guide will also warn you of critical decisions that might have an impact later on, or risk of someone dying.

FlyingUsPoo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've held off on my Jug until Vette's return. Have her maxed out on influence and don't want to lose her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelballz Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've only taken my agent through it so far. I'm gonna wait till I see the companions I really want to come back before I take anymore toons through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_riches Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I play this game for a really nice story, so I don't really care for waiting until x or y companion returns, I do look forwards to their return though but its not going to stop me playing, I expect all will make a return/appearance sooner or later, I am still going to need to have gotten through the kotfe content anyway so I may as well play on release.

deleries Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes. The new companions don't interest me at all because I can't customize them and I don't like having an empty starship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyFlynn Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes. The new companions don't interest me at all because I can't customize them and I don't like having an empty starship. Star ship remains empty doesn't it? I can't actually quite remember now because the few characters that did get someone back.. well I usually use the companion book to 'travel to', or my fleet pass or head to my SH. I've barely actually gone anywhere with my ship since arriving on Odessen. I'm with you though, my ship 'feels' eerily quiet and cold without my people there. =\ My Smuggler was one of my first characters to go through all of KotFE, wish I'd done my research because as much as she adores Theron.. she feels lonely as hell without her people.

Djiini Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 and I don't like having an empty starship. If you're using your ship to travel places at Lv.65 you're doing it wrong LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the ship is empty but I did get an HK-51 after starting KotFE and it showed up. So it's just me and HK-51 cruising the galaxy now. Have to admit having that 'travel to' function is great though.

nanamaryjj Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I took my two mains from each side through KOTFE, rest are on hiatus till its revealed about companions. Not really a fan of having a ton of companions, none of which you built a rapport story wise with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 If you're using your ship to travel places at Lv.65 you're doing it wrong LOL. There are times when the ship is faster than hopping to fleet first just because of load times, or you're going somewhere without any Priority terminal or unlock access.

richiesilva Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Again, I don't get this. You can get them back via a terminal after completing chapter 9. Edited February 25, 2016 by richiesilva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Again, I don't get this. You can get the back via a terminal after completing chapter 9. Exactly what I thought. If you're using your ship to travel places at Lv.65 you're doing it wrong LOL. Only time I use it is for my characters to go to Ziost.

Max_Killjoy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Again, I don't get this. You can get them back via a terminal after completing chapter 9. 1) this isn't a single mission where you're stuck with a particular comp or can't use your comps, it's 9 "chapters" of content. 2) in some cases, you're just getting them back as "combat pets" -- in total disconnect with the story, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shwarzchild Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Absolutely. I won't take my warrior through until it's confirmed Vette is back. My bounty hunter won't go through until Mako is back, and my main smuggler won't go through until Rishi is back. I took my trooper through recently in hopes Elara is coming back.

btmart Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've done 5-6 toons (of 24) through, but holding off on everyone else until I get the companion I want back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnAskham Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've done one character through everything currently released, used the terminal to get my companions, and will not be running any other of my 30+ characters through KotFE. I'd rather roll another alt and run any of the original launch stories than play through KotFE again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keimox Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm going to run Kotfe only with 1 character to see story. Don't really care about any of the companions and besides they all function same now. Not going to bother doing any of the alliance recruits either. Most annoying thing in this kotfe crap is that BW forces me to take companions. I'd rather have option to refuse or accept them. I would killed Kaliyo instantly and same fate would wait Aric and maybe other comps yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil_Fusion Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I have on my Marauder because I like Jaesa and her dark side personality. Plus it isn't even fun playing KOTFE 10 times over anyways not in comparison to replaying the originals.

Darevsool Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Those that are talking about a 'terminal' to get your companions back... What terminal? Which companions? I'm confused by this, thought they only ones that you could get after starting KOTFE were the ones unlocked via the crew/alliance alerts and main story.

I'm confused by this, thought they only ones that you could get after starting KOTFE were the ones unlocked via the crew/alliance alerts and main story. There is a terminal I believe in your alliance stronghold on Odessen where you can obtain class specific companions of which class you're playing on back instead of waiting for them to return VIA alliance alerts or story missions in KOTFE. They basically return as they were prior to KOTFE, and that's all it is to basically fight along side you or to be used for crew skills you won't have any story interaction with them if you had left any of that un-done. Edit: I found this video that may or may not be of some use on the subject: It shows the location in your alliance stronghold in which the terminal lies.

JediQuaker Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I'm just wondering if anyone's held off on starting the KotFE chapters on their character until they know if/when their companion or LI returns? I'm not. I'm in the process now of taking my 14th character through KoFE. On one of them - sith assassin - I used the terminal in the Alliance headquarters to get Ashara back ahead of time, just to see how it went. But overall, I'm more interested to see when they show up in the story. Funny thing is, when my IA met up with Kaliyo, she was apparently already a love interest although I don't recall [flirt]'ing with her. P.S. After taking my first few main characters through KoFE, it doesn't take long to "spacebar" through the rest.

I'm confused by this, thought they only ones that you could get after starting KOTFE were the ones unlocked via the crew/alliance alerts and main story. There is a circular terminal in your Alliance base in the same little bedroom where you periodically click on the Commander Datapads. (There's a protocol Droid sweeping the floor perpetually.) The terminal doesn't glow, but you can R-click it. It gives you multiple warnings and will only let you retrieve one companion at a time, but it's fairly straightforward. You get whoever you want from your original crew back, and it won't interfere with any future "storywise" reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
