Star Wars: The Old Republic

[CaptainCrunch]

I am sitting at leave 48 on my Sith Warrior and I'm coming to the end of the story line.

I've been playing the game now for about 35 days focusing on one story line. I'm really enjoying the game, and I'll probably take a break after I'm done the story line and wait for the next major update and start a new and different story line.

I'm probably going to write my thoughts on the game after I'm done with the first story line from the perspective of what I am. A first time MMO player.

But to be honest Blaster, I think this is an excellent game and a really good value entertainment wise.

I think at the 59.99 or 69.99 I paid for it, yes. Good value, no question. My problem from the perspective that you're taking is you're going to essentially pay $15 a month to play KotOR which is only $9 all-in. A less in-depth and immersive KotOR for $15 a month will turn into a bad value very fast.

But that is just for me, if you are enjoying it them disregard me. I am looking at it from a veteran MMO player who wanted something new's angle.

Come on Blaster, I never disregard anyones opinions, except for that fat guy that works in the 7-11, he's got some real life issues.

WoW= endgame>leveling
Swtor=leveling>>>endgame

A little after hitting 50 was super bored

It's more of a "my opinion isn't relevant for you" type disregard than a "You're an idiot and I want no part in you." Also true, but not relevant here! We were both looking for different things from this game and are thus having different experiences.

Nothing wrong with that.

Blaster your a terrible human being.

Just hit 50. Haven't finished the storyline yet (darn mass xp from space missions/pvp/flashpoints).

I think I had my 2nd "Wow!" moment when I stepped into Corellia. The ambience there is quite awesome - really looks like a warzone, but has all the ships being built and all that. The first was seeing Coruscant's Senate Tower and surrounding architecture.

The storyline also got good as well. Had the "reveal" moment where everything goes to hell, and sets up the final planet really nicely. Will probably be finishing it in the next couple days!

^ Gee, and I thought I was the cynic.

I'm at 49 and on Corellia as well, there are a massive amount of missions there, I have to state that I felt like a member of the 99% when I went after the board of drectors for the engineering company there with my Sith murderer.

My companion Quinn who I spared after he deserved death doesn't like my attitude lately as I'm killing everyone who opposses me.

I haven't started on the main storyline mission there yet, I've been too busy fighting other battles.

Scored my first goal in Huttball last night, and managed to murder a person while doing it. He was standing in front of the goal line using his heal spell because he was weak. I had the ball, did a massive force charge followed by my personal favorite the kick to the face, oh my the Quarterback is toast. then I walked across the goal line.

I'm still having probems completing a pass though.

I'll throw a pass and my team mates are too busy with the chaos to make the catch.

On a side note, I know that my Sith Warrior is coming to the end of his story line unless they add some more storyline content. I probably have about 3 main story line missions and about 8 solo missions left to fullfill. Then unless I want to spend more time with PVP, Flashzones and Illium missions, he's pretty much done.

I started playing this game on December 27th and a month and a half later, I've got an extremely powerful Sith Lord who's entirely dark and has murdered more jedi and Sith and rebels and others then I can keep track of.

He's got a cool Darth Vaderesque look going, and he's about to fulfill his mission and probably kill the man most responsible for his power.

Its going to be tough to let him go and start a completely different storyline.

I'll probably write a quick review here, then take some time off from the game til after the next major update.

I'm pretty new at this game but have a quick question about your armour and weapons. Do they just deteriorate and then you sell them and buy new stuff, or can you get them repaired somewhere?

You can repair them at any vendor. If you look at the vendor screen, near the bottom there will be three tabs. The buying tab (where you can buy stuff), then there's a buyback tab (where you can re-buy stuff you accidentally sold), and the third tab will be Repair, where you can repair all your items.

[CaptainCrunch]

The only thing that I don't understand. For example I have a level 48 breast plate with 715 armour.

I was looking at the Champions gear and it seems like the armor number is really low especially on the masks.

I would have thought that PVP and champions armor would give you heavier protection.

Currently my level 49 dude with all level 48 armor has about 13000 hit points.

Yup, I repair after every tough mission.

It's possible you were looking at the medium armor Marauder gear, instead of the Heavy Armor Juggernaut gear.

My Sith Juggernaut has a full set of PvP Champion gear and it gives me 17,000 unbuffed hp, and about 7400 armor. Fully buffed in a Warzone I have about 19,300 hp.

Edit: Since you are an Immortal spec Juggernaut, you want to look at the 'Champion War Leader" set.

^ Looks like the data on Torhead is outdated. I have no idea what glance rating is as it's not in the game right now, and the Champion gear does not have augment slots.

Komskies, what server are you on?

[Komskies]

The Maw, PvP server Empire side.

[Yorkshire Flame]

Tbh, I'm having a pretty tough time getting into this game. I'm not sure whether it's the game, or that I just don't want to get sucked in like WoW, but I'm just not feeling it. Not saying they didn't do a spectacular job, because the game itself is fantastic; just can't seem to get into it.
