ThrawnFanatic Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I didn't see anything posted, but was curious - are we going to be able to skip to the start of Legacy of the Sith like we could with KOTFE/KOTET/Ossus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricia Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I don't think they've said anything yet, but it would be nice not to have to run Echoes of Oblivion again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but probably not, unless you want your character defaulted to being a a Loyalist. Remember that Onslaught was the first expansion that was after the concept of "skippable-to" was introduced but where we could not skip to it. Instead, we had to skip to (and play through) Ossus. Don't forget that the Loyalost/Saboteur decision is at the beginning of Ossus, not at the beginning of Onslaught, and has a visible impact *during* Onslaught. It won't be invisible in LotS either.

Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csilvajonas Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. Master datacron and commander token will still leave us at 70? Would be nice to be at least 75 on 7.0 or keep the token to 70 but datacron boosts to 80 Edited February 1, 2022 by csilvajonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuvonDrake Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. I have plenty of characters and have done the full storyline on a handful but most have ended their story progression somewhere in the middle of Onderon, do you mean that I need to finish both that planet, mek-sha and the remaining story arcs with flashpoints and cutscenes on Odessen before I can start leveling them with the new expansion? come on bioware with all the delays of the expansion, most features being pushed from 7.0 to 7.1 and now you make it even more of a bother to play and level alts in the next expansion? gotta be able to do better job at connecting with the overall playerbase and making features that player wants, not that developers want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TziganeNZ Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Interesting that you didn't say "Spirit of Vengeance" there... Oddly, SoV has become one of my favourite flashpoints! I was so scared of it for so long, but now run it for fun (!). Echoes of Oblivion, however, can get in the bin....really hate that stupid mindscape stuff (have figured out a route to get through with as little interaction with the shades as quickly as possible), and that last fight is incredibly drawn-out and tedious. Almost as bad as the fight against Arcann on his flagship where all you do is wait for the shield to be ready then hit him with it.....mind-numbingly tedious and boring.

Pricia Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. It makes sense but... considering that a lot of characters will probably be level 80 way before catching up with LotS, you might want to consider giving some kind of gear reward for those stories. Can't imagine having to do that content again and not get anything useful out of it. Not gonna lie... I have no desire to make another character to have to go through that again either. Oddly, SoV has become one of my favourite flashpoints! I was so scared of it for so long, but now run it for fun (!). Echoes of Oblivion, however, can get in the bin....really hate that stupid mindscape stuff (have figured out a route to get through with as little interaction with the shades as quickly as possible), and that last fight is incredibly drawn-out and tedious. My main issue with SoV is I've run it 34 times and I've NEVER seen the achievement clickies. It's really irritating. Almost as bad as the fight against Arcann on his flagship where all you do is wait for the shield to be ready then hit him with it.....mind-numbingly tedious and boring. You don't have to. I got him down to the end without even using the shield last time. Much faster. Edited February 1, 2022 by Pricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of stories skip I have not seen any information on what's going to be happening with the Master's datacron. Do you have any information for us on that? Is it being updated?

You don't need to only level up through story, you can access all maps without doing the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycroft-Tarkin Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. Do reconsider this please, you can leave the Ossus skip available but also provide one directly to LOTS if possible. There is a lot of story content post Ossus now, and considering that it is the same story for all classes on a faction it makes sense to let people skip it instead of having to play it on all 50 characters to clear their mission log.

iankalo Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Maybe, but probably not, unless you want your character defaulted to being a a Loyalist. I have the same question - can we skip? I dont really care for 6 of my alts. I just want them max level. If we can skip, I`ll level them up to 75 via Warzones before the expansion release. I do everything slow and right with 1 main Rep and 1 main Imp. My other 6 alts are just to fill all the rest of the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merovejec Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The worst thing is Echoes of Oblivion since you get to kill Emperor. Thats kinda out of it all since imagine you start as a new player and advance to max possible, which is Onslaught and they will skip eveerything and just see how you kill some powerful guy..... It should at least start after that fight. Then however people will not know the new characters in Onslaught, so i dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepthen Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I'm very sad to be reading this. I was really hoping for a skip right up to the beginning of 7.0 for the rest of my alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpenedstick Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The real answer is that 7.0 will only include about one day's worth of new story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCinque Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi ThrawnFanatic, The skip story will be left at Ossus as it is the beginning of the story arc where we want players to be contextually. Wasn't 7.0 marketed as "Play the way you want to play"? No one should be forced through this mediocre at best story more than one My main went through it. My alts shouldn't have to.

__andrea__ Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 X1000000000. All the stupid trash mobs in EoO are so tiresome. The final fight is bad too TBH … a lot of fluff, but no real danger of ever dying. At least EoO is somewhat interesting and has a good story. Spirit of Vengeance is HORRIBLE. I kept thinking "Why am I doing this?" About a million mobs, half of which wouldn't let me stealth through. No real feeling of caring about anything as you do it. Wish I could just skip it.

latribudedana Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just done Echoes of Oblivion for a third time. No-one should have to do more than that. If nothing else, please let players just skip that one mission. Hell, put a 'skip EoO' token in the store. I'll buy 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuvonDrake Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 ran two chars through the story, and my other 20+ went from lvl 75 to 80 via Nathema farming with resetting the last boss over and over. bioware leveling experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sennahcherib Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I wish I could also skip sov and EoO. Sov has no interest at all, it is a waste of time. EoO is just boring, and again the same villain + again a mind meld + the tedious boss fight, even worse than the last fight against revan on Yavin. The interesting part of the story is done by Kira and Scourge, the treasure hunt (body) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammboo Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Yeah, can't skip SoV. Won't bother then. Not gonna grind through 16 characters on a FP I don't want to do just to get to the story I want to play. Though from what I have read it isn't worth it anyway.
