Not me. All I fucking wanted was lightning on my SW and reverse-gripped lightsabers GOD DAMNIT!

 

I would pay cash money for a reverse saber stance and matching set of animations for my Juggernaut.

Same for my operative, but holding a pistol and my shiv in a cross grip...

 

My two characters right now

Meet Agent Vybra

Spoiler

And Darth No'vack

Cassis Fett's helm goes really well with Thexan's armour imo (I'd rather black purple than black red there, but it's too expensive).

Nihilus' helm looks cool too but... Eh

 

Due to the levels of hype that I've been getting from Jon's posting, I've resubbed. Time to level everyone to the top and get my Star Wars fix again. What's the deal with the armour crates?

 

I don't think there going to fix this, but I could be wrong.

Spoiler

Come 65 when your through KotFE, the weekly heroics give you instead of armor crates material crates which you turn in to build influence with certain characters to strengthen your forces ala Dragon Age Inquisition or Mass Effect 3.

 

What specifically do those crates do? And where's the person I gotta turn them into? I'm 61 and I'm getting them on my operative.

What does it get me? Reputation? Is there a vendor that sells cool shit for that rep?

 

Pretty sure its connected to the whole alliance thing which means you have progress with the main story to unlock it.

 

You have to finish chapter IX of the expansion in order to get access to the various contacts the crates go to. There are 4 NPC's one for each crate type. The crates get you influence with the NPC's which actually open up things in the new flashpoint if its high enough and each crate you turn in will net you some credits (4 figure range) some legacy modable gear (random drop from all classes, previous raid tear gear in looks Yavin, Dreadguard etc) companion gifts, and other random drops like decor items or speeders etc. The Influence with the 4 NPC's seems like it will have a larger impact as the chapters go on in the expansion but as to how much its to early to say.

They are basically cartel packs without having to shell out money for them, just with a smaller loot table.

 

I fucking hate clipping with a passion, lol. That Revan Reborn helmet clips through every hood except the set's own chest. I think I already knew that, but I was reminded last night.

I'm surprised how much I dislike my Sorcerer btw. I feel like I'm way more squishy, my damage isn't as high to compensate and the nature of my CL pulls all the adds off my tanking companion.

Warrior and Op still where it's at. I have to relearn my PT, but uppercutting and assassin's creed blades are pretty fucking awesome - that and being so badass I only need a single pistol.

My next big buys are gonna be a jetpack mount for my Op and that badass floating platform with floating cubes one for my War

 

Decided to try the game out today. Installed the launcher, set up the download to do its thing...

"A required .DLL file, EKC3220.DLL, was not found."

Lovely.

Now I'm just in a cycle of updating the Launcher and getting hit with the error message.

 

I had to re reinstall from scratch.

Btw, I started the new stuff on my op then stopped and decided to go through it as a warrior. Dunno about you guys, but the beginning of that new story just didn't fit an operative imo.

Really wish they went back to class specific/ thematically appropriate quest lines, even if it was at the cost of content.

 

If I'm playing an operative, I want to do spy shit, not cozy up with the big boys.

I know in an rpg sense, mechanically, we're all equal, but I don't like it when it plays out that way in the story.

The battle against the Eternal Empire (was that their name?) should be multifaceted. The Warrior should be the wrecking ball taking it to them and fucking shit up, the Inquisitor focusing on finding a way to deal with emp.

As an Operative? I want to do spy shit.

Early spoilers.

Spoiler

I don't want to be in the middle of things shooting big bads in the back. That was ridiculous.

I want to be there cleaning up after Marr and the Warrior. They fucked up and now the Empire is coming. You try to stop their campaign by doing spy shit, but they're just too powerful.

You ultimately lose, but you have one final plan, find the Emporer's Wrath, assassinate higher ups and cause chaos, counter intelligence etc.

I speak from a place of not liking post vanilla story content in general. I loved the original operative content because it was thematically different and appropriate.

It felt like I was playing a different game.

Who knows? Maybe I do the story as a Warrior and find it fits. I stopped on my operative after Lana rescued me.

 

I am glad that I am not the only one that feels that way. The new content fits great in the the story of the JK almost like it was written for that class. But one thing I was worried about was how other classes would mesh with that story. I mean some of the classes might work but some of the others like Bounty Hunter and Smuggler? Yeah I don't really see it.
