So /sw/, I know that not everyone here (or anywhere) is fond of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and many recognize it as one of Bioware/EA's many examples of greedy corporate douchery and also the Revan character rape (among other things). But still, its the only major SW MMO out there and it has a shit ton of content, and I thought it would be nice if we had a thread specifically about SWTOR in hopes that maybe we could play together, form our own guild or just help each other out with stupid missions. The game is not as hard as it used to be sadly since they nerfed it by adding difficulty bullshit and even a single player can do a heroic mission by themselves as long as they have decent armor and a healer. But still, we could get together and kill world bosses and whatnot, or just harass other players and hope we don't get banned… If not, just call me a faggot/SWTOR shill and we'll just pretend this never happened.

The Agent storyline was unironically fantastic. The only parts I hated were the mind control chapter (seriously, they spend the entire story talking up Imperial Intelligence as the baddest James Bond/Navy SEALs in existence, you'd think that resisting it would be a part of the training process) and the very end of the basic storyline
>Hello, my nemesis. I have you broken, beaten and at my feet. I have spent the entire game chasing you, being beaten to the punch by you, you have cost the Empire countless lives and millions of credits, and I have spent the entire game telling you that when I finally catch you, I'm going to kill you
>You're at my feet and I have won
>Dialogue options:
>NEUTRAL: Good job, but I did better
>NEUTRAL: Get out of my sight.
>DARK SIDE: (Kill her)

I get that Bioware shoehorns romances into every possible nook and cranny but that was just fucking retarded. Other than that it was like a less broken space Alpha Protocol and the writing was fucking awesome.

Yeah, I don't think learning how to resist an experimental mind control technology that was covertly being developed for the sole purpose of controlling other agents would be a part of the agent's training. Watcher X was 10 times the agent you were and he still got thrown into the slammer just for being too good at his job.

I played almost exclusively with a friend since the first year it came out, I haven't finished many story-lines as a result because we had to find times when we could both play, but I have really good memories because of that. I really want to go back and play but it's trash as F2P, but I really have had an urge to go back for months now. Though I'm sure it won't be nearly as fun alone.

The grind is not as bad as it was a couple of years ago (especially when it it had a subscription model). I read all you have to do in the main planet quest and you will be strong enough for the main quest.
What i did are the H2/H4 quests that you can do alone to get level 50. (i have all expansions)

NEW ACTUAL EXPANSION ANNOUNCED
I'm not holding out too much hope, but seeing as the new real improvements they've been adding recently, I can see they are at least trying to keep what is left alive.
Now for the juicy details.
New Storyline
New Planet - Onderon
New Planet - Mek-Sha
New Flashpoint - Corellia
New operation - Dxun
New Species - Nautolan
New Level Cap - 75
So now we have squid bros, a new level cap, KOTOR II planets and a return to Corellia. From what I've read, they are trying to expand the turncoat storyline even more and what I hope is coming from this is a complete side-switch which honestly should have been available from the game's launch. Multiple events in every character story gave you options for becoming a traitor but nothing came of it. Hoping this rectifies the biggest blueballing of the century.

The Onderon one has you trying to sway the support of the new King if I read it right. Dxun is a small hunt with Mando warriors to see who can bag the biggest beast. No idea about Mek-Sha but Corellia has the Sith attempting a second invasion with hopes of real, tangible results this time.

Nice to know these fucks finally added a worthwhile playable species. Now if only they added Bothans and Ithorians instead of more humanoid shit in order to keep up with romantic bullshit.

It's more for Armour's sake. If they add a non-humanoid species they have to completely change how each set of armour fits on to them. Helmets just cancel out any lekku or feature that would fuck with them (I believe helmets for Twi'leks used to be forced hidden slots though), so no additional modeling is required but it would be a real pain to have to remodel every single piece of armour just to add a new species. Not that they can't do it, but for a free-to-play game it's somewhat understandable they don't won't to do that. Plus I'm not even sure Ithorians can speak basic, can they?

Less money to be wasted on a voice actor and more money to use on armors. But yes, they can speak basic with a translator attached to their mouth holes.

As it is they're not going to get new voice actors to redo all the lines anyways. I do think it would be cool to seen non-human's though but on top of the armour they'd have to redo all the animations.

Not necessarily. SW Galaxies for example had playable Ithorians and Sullustans which had the same game skeleton as humans, except with Ithorians, their hands and feet remained the same regardless of armor unless my memory is horribly mistaken.
To make Ithorians playable, just give them the same skeleton/animations as humans with only some minor tweeks to the head and have it so the hand and feet mesh go over the humanoid hand and footwear. Finally to make it look less human, they could just alter the size of the nodes on its skeleton, the only downside to this is that certain animations may look buggy, like sitting, falling down and emotes, but it would be worth putting up with that shit for a few years until they get all the bugs out. Or at the very least just add an Ithorian or Wookiee mask to the armor choices.
Or hell if you really want something with a unique head but hot chicks which is identical to humans in every way except hands, then go with Rodians. But that still might not happen because according to the gayass forums, the main reason they don't do less humanoid aliens is because the romance/kissing scenes would look awkward. To hell with that shit. Just remove the option for non-humanoids or introduce a new non-humanoid romantic partner. Besides, the romances in the game are shit and gay.

In the space port, one of the first quests there comes from an ithorian. Two more ithorian quest givers are in different areas. There's also quite a few Ithorian npcs lurking about there. One thing that bothers me is that there are almost no Ithorians (except maybe one) on Taris, despite that the Republic is starting a massive societal and ecosystem restoration project there which is something Ithorians would specialize in.

Sith Warrior gets the best specs with Marauder, fast, deadly and can take a punch, and Juggernaut, like fighting a brick wall. Agent has the best story overall and one of the highest DPS, since I last played, specs with the sniper. Warrior has some really fucking funny and snarky dialog and has the best side characters such as Baras. This is how I see it anyway. I mostly play Dark Jedi Sentinel and light leaning Sniper so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Juggernauts are too damn strong imo. Agent does have the best DPS and the best storyline but I feel that sith warrior is more versatile. Also Warrior has the best companions, except for that shitty jedi apprentice you're stuck with who either stays a naive wench who never learns anything or a the edgiest tryhard sithcunt imaginable who also doesn't learn anything. It would be nice if her personality wasn't just 2 sided and her overall outlook and behavior could be decided on your dialogue choices and more. That would easily make her one of the most unique companions in the game.

So at the start F2P isn't too bad, but all the end game gearing is basically locked behind the subscriptions, fair warning. You can still see a lot of story content for free but if you want PVP, Operations, and the best gear then you'll need to pay. Your mileage may vary but since I join a guild I really find the subscription worth it.

Is there a mod to fix the dialog wheels? Every option you can pick is mislabeled. You pick "Hey go fuck yourself" and it thinks you mean "Hey, come back to my hotel room and lets fuck". Every fucking time I pick a dialog option I'm reading it vastly different to what the game is trying to say. I fucking hate that shit in bioware games and it's spoiling any story missions I'm doing. The jail cells were especially bad because it let me fuck over people I intended to help. If I was trying to fuck someone over I would be less effective than this dialog wheel is.
I'm also getting tired of the MMO grind with Sith warrior. I don't recall it being this bad when I played at launch as a Jedi something or other or a trooper 2 years ago. I wasn't running back and forth to the exact same area because some nigger wanted me to do fetch quests
