Star Wars: The Old Republic

Here's a screenshot I took of my guy today on the Imperial Fleet. I'm in my battle pose!

ok, one more question. I have about 700 warzone commendations, I went through and did a flashpoint today by myself but didn't get any commendations for doing it (guess it was below my level).

How do I get championship and battlemaster armor, I don't think I can get them with warzone commendations alone.

not sure what you're talking about with flashpoints, as they're PVE and won't give PVP commendations. you get champion armor by getting champion bags once you hit 50. at that point you get daily and weekly PVP quests that give you champion bags as rewards, and you can buy champion bags from the PVP vendor on the fleet (beside the daily quest terminal) for 200 warzone and 200 mercenary commendations (you have to convert warzone commendations to mercenary, at a 3:1 ratio). the bags give you 15 centurion commendations, 7 champion commendations, and a small chance for a direct trade token for a champion piece

battlemaster bags won't come until you get level 60 valor, but that will likely take a long time. i've been PVP'ing regularly since i started my trooper and i'm only at 32 valor

That's right, I'll pay anyone on Daragon trail to hunt him down and wack him

Haha!

I still tend to mess with the AH/GTN in these games. I missed the whole Slicing gongshow the first two weeks when the game was originally released but I'm at around 10 million credits now. Still not close to 50 though, I hear it's pretty easy to pile up the funds at that point.

[CaptainCrunch]

On the money thing I'm pretty much a spendaholic. I spend way to much at the Galactic Market place in terms of armor and weapons for me and my posse. Which is funny because I'm killing people and generating great money in doing it.

Its amazing that I'm still having so much fun and finding a ton of things to do. I think they really need to add on to the warzone (Is that right) content. currently there are three Hutt ball, that turret one and the Darth Malgus one. I still really enjoy them and I'm upping my kills and reducing my deaths each time, but it seems like the first one that comes up every day is Hutt Ball, and since I'm solo queing the team doesn't work together very well.

I did do a flashpoint (I think) solo last night by myself, I still haven't found a group to join which would allow me to do some of the tougher ones.

I'm within 40 points of level 50 I've got one more key area of Corellia, and then one more story line mission (stop the ASsasins) before I think I head into the end game.

I've got a level 50 Jug with almost 14000 hp's with level 48 armor, so I really think I need to upgrade my armor before the end game. My immortal skill tree is completely filled up, so I'm tough to damage.

One I finish this one, I'm going to do some of the level 50 stuff described above, then probably take a break from the game until the March update and see what content there is.

I'll probablty roll a character on the republic side (Trooper or smuggler) with a ranged attack at that point and see if the story line is as good.

But I loved the Sith story line it just felt so cool last night. I walked into a room full of republc soldiers, and it went to a video of their conversation

One of the soldiers said "I think the intruder is a Sith" Then you hear the slow ignition of the light saber and my Sith voice which is deeper with the mask I wear saying "Your fears have been confirmed"

So cool

[CaramonLS]

You're such a tool CC, I've been trying to private message you on TOR and you won't respond!

[CaptainCrunch]

REally?

I've been expecting a mail?

Guess I need to use the chat screen more often.

My bad

[CaramonLS]

Like seriously Cap, I am spamming whispers on you, how do you not see???

[CaptainCrunch]

I've had my social window open just to make sure, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I'm starting to feel like a bag of crap, its not that I'm ignoring you.

[Superfraggle]

Finally finished the bounty hunter storyline. Start was pretty good, dragged on a bit in the 30s-40s, but loved the finish. Was exactly what I would have hoped.

Spoiler!

After being pushed towards the Empire the whole game, as the Republic declares me public enemy #1, I kill off the Jedi who was hunting me and get sicced on the Supreme Chancellor. He gives me the option to turn on the Sith who had been directing my movements, which I do because the Darth was a prick, and my name gets cleared for the Republic. So I get to be the true bounty hunter I wanted to be...sans allegiance! Darth is dead, Chancellor steps down, and I am left independent (since the Empire doesn't know I killed the Darth).

They were kind enough to put me on another quest line headed to a new planet, and I'm pretty sure there are more companion quests to do (do you get more as their affection grows?), but I've been ready to start a new character for a bit, so I'm glad to be done the main story. Some sort of Republic non-dps this time, I think. Will probably switch back over to Daragon Trail since lots of CPers are on it and I'm betting queue times are no longer an issue.

[CaptainCrunch]

I'm off doing as much PVP stuff as possible to collect warzone and mercenary commendations so I can collect Champion bags.

I came up against what I assume was the second last boss in my Sith Warrior quest and got by poop pushed in so I'm on a quest to upgrade my armor.

Currently my hit points are at about 12500, and he cut through me like butta.

So I'll be playing some more warzone, and I'm heading to the PVP area in Tatooine.

That plus I'm trying to level up my ship to do some of the tougher space missions.

[CaramonLS]

Gotta admit, I found this review hilarious:

The "Tortantic" Link

Seems people are using Xfire to monitor estimated server populations, since companies like EA aren't exactly forthcoming with numbers. While it may not be an exact science, it certainly does show trends.

[PowerPlayoffs06]

After my first character I completely gave up on the MMO aspect of The Old Republic. I did maybe four of the Flashpoints with that character, got to level 50 and found it near impossible to get a group as a Sniper. Battlegrounds and PvP haven't been my bag for a long time so I haven't bothered with that aspect of the game, though from everything I've heard, PvP as a Sniper is laughable.

I then leveled up a Sith Assassin tank to 50. I had 4 Social Points when I finished my story line. I have no idea where I got them from because I'm fairly certain I didn't group with another player the entire time. I did zero flashpoints with that character and the only Heroic quests I did were the ones I could solo.

I'm now leveling a Jedi Consular, currently at 41, and again, I've not been able to find groups for Flashpoints (not that I've tried hard this time around). Forget about Heroic quests - zones have rarely had more than 20 people in them. Chat is dead, the world is barren.

I'm totally loving the class story lines. Some of the planet story lines are cool to follow the first time around too. All the stuff in between that has just become grinding so I can progress the story.

[CaptainCrunch]

Got my space ship matched with level 6 items, its an unbeatable space ship mow.

Warzoned to the point that I got my first Champion bag, opened it and got some cash and Battlemaster and Centurian medals, but I need a wack more to start armoring up.

I'm averaging about 60 warzone commendations per warzone, I need to get a better weapon. I do think that the Sith Warrrior has a real disadvantage as he only has two ranged weapons. Light sabre throw and force scream. I seem to have to fight through a lot of ranged attacks to get in range to kill people.

I think I'm going to re roll as an Inquisitor, at least they have a couple of longer ranged attacks.

[Thor]

I rerolled almost immediately after hitting 50 on my sorceror to Imperial Agent, I went operative cause I like being able to heal a bit and sniper is so much stationary attacks that it would bore me to death.

So far this game is truly a single player experience for me, with a few moments of pvp and flashpoints, it doesnt help I'm on a east coast US server and living in Iceland either

[CaptainCrunch]

So I rerolled and started a Sith Inquisitor tonight and played through the first 7 levels. I found that the Inquisitor is far more powerful then the Sith warrior. Having long range attacks like lightning and shock makes life far easier then having to close in and attack with your lightsabre and meelee attacks. combine that with the incredibly powerful Lightsaber Thrash and I have had a far easier time on Korriban then I remember with my first character.

the sorcerer is by far the most overpowered and numerous class in the game, almost seems like half the population on a given server rolled a sorc. the fact that they get so many slows, roots, stuns, a protection bubble, sprint, it blows every other class out of the water with their versatility. coming from a currently underpowered class, you're going to notice a world of difference

[CaptainCrunch]

They do seem to absolutely rule in the war zones, As a Sith Jug, by the time I got to one I was halfway down in terms of hitpoints. My only hope was to jump them and then continually stun them while dealing damage.

I'm at level 6 right now, I'm hoping to finish Korriban tonight and see how the war zone is.

I'm probably going to select Sorc over Assasin as my last character was a defensive tank.

But if I can spray someone from 30 yards away with lightning or a force storm, why not do it.

[CaramonLS]

I don't know man, Juggers who are PvP specced absolutely rock with huge critical hits (not tank specs) in warzones.

My Sorc is pretty versatile and serve their purpose, but overall you get dropped pretty fast by most other classes if you're alone.

[CaptainCrunch]

I did pick sorc tonight, I just love killing people from a distance with the old force lightning.

And my master, she's a hot body
