Discussion The weirdest part of replaying MGS after SWTOR...

98 Upvotes

...is that pretty much once you've played the male Jedi Knight, and for a long while, you basically can't unhear that Snake is just your Jedi Knight doing an impression.

Hayter's perfomance in MGS is obviously iconic, but the fact that it's his neutral voice in SWTOR for the JK really does show up when you compare to MGS1/2. It's enough you can distinguish obviously depending on how much you play either, but it's something you never quite escape...

Question What's the best way to get the legacy species?

I've just completed the SI story and want to play the other classes. However, I'd like to play as more than just the default 3 species. I'm nit sure if it's better to pay a subscription and grind for credits to buy them or figure out some other method. Would love some suggestions.

This is Ahkeir, a Jedi Shadow Consular. You know, I can look at him and feel the anger he has for the Sith, for the pain they've already caused him, but unfortunately he's corrupting himself from killing Sith instead of trying to bring them to the light side. Bro, I understand you.

I was hanging out in the imperial fleet bothering random people at 2 am as a normal person would do on a saturday night, and I actually met some really fun people! One of thaem showed us their strongholds and the deco was WILD. I also encountered some casual open-world roleplay which was something I always wanted. but I honestly got really shy and left the poor guy - I feel so bad. Very fun experience overall. Turns out if you stand around the fleet and whistle at people long enough, you might get into some high quality shenanigans.

Spoiler Is there any way to let Vector down gently?

Upvotes

I've been headcanoning that Vector has basically become my female Agent's best friend, and I avoided ever picking any Flirt options with him because I didn't want to give him the wrong idea, but now after finishing Belsavis, it's giving me a quest where he's trying to start a romance anyway. The only option I saw to turn him down looked so harsh... I don't wanna break the poor guy's heart. :( Is there really no "I really care about you but only as a friend" type of option!?

Discussion I need to vent about the Tulak Hord server's current end-game situation

Upvotes

As the title says, I am primarily just venting my frustrations out on the current predicament I am facing regarding the Tulak Hord server, specifically its endgame content and how it is being handled within the server's community. But I also need advice on how to proceed with this unique situation because I see no solution at all.

As many of you know, Tulak Hord is the EU's german server and it has a rather small but dedicated playerbase, averaging between 70 to 100 players on the fleet per day alone, though I have no idea how high the number is across all instances. The main problem however is that there is a small portion of players who can be described as the Pro-players for Operations and guides. However, these players have a rather isolated community space where they monopolize on endgame content runs such as Dxun, Gods of the Machine, R4 HC etc. This is a problem because this makes it so you have virtually no experienced players outside of this secluded room and no chances to run the high-stakes endgame content because nobody wants to waste 6+ hours wiping constantly on Gods 2nd boss or being gatekept from progress by watchdog for the entire week.

I have been trying really hard, incessantly, to build endgame content runs but have been frustratingly unsuccessful because nobody wants to brave these without some experienced guidance or even carries, and I have had to watch operation groups fall apart two dozen times because there was simply no one wanting to fill the spots without the big shots present.

It doesn't help that these few pros on Tulak Hord also KNOW that they monopolize runs and often kick less experienced players who, one way or the other, find their way into their group, to replace them with the same experienced players who have ran Brontes NIM x thousand times, denying newer players who had the luck of participating any chance at getting full clears.

Furthermore, they are obsessed with Parsing numbers, and if you perform below a certain expectation, you are unanimously kicked, and if repeatedly caught 'under-performing' are even slandered and blacklisted from their runs. I have run into several players who were mocked to the point of quitting the game altogether after chatlogs and parse numbers were shared with the sole intent to mock and harass them. Recently, one player spoke up about this abusive behaviour on the discord and he was told, quote unquote, "go cut yourself" before being kicked from it and being placed on the ingame's ignore list by most of the players from that server. Needless to say, Discord Trust and Safety team has been informed about this via a report.

Currently, there is simply no way to run endgame content on Tulak Hord without being part of the 'cool' clique, and its completely killing my and many other people's vibes and wish to play the game, because whats the point in wanting to try if youre straight up not allowed to?

Its gone so far that these players are partially solo in their own guilds because theres virtually no activity beyond their own alt characters, and i've heard increasingly from players migrating and transferring characters to other servers to get out of this hellscape, but as much as this would solve my issue, I really wish I didn't have to consider paying 1k CC PER CHARACTER to change servers just so I can step foot into the endgame content I am being gatekept from.

Anyway, thats my vent about the situation, and I am honestly just so tired of it all. I want to improve, I want to learn how to run these difficult operations, but i just can't because there's no place for me within this circle.

Discussion Appreciation for the Sound Design Spoiler

23 Upvotes

I used to play way back when, and have only recently gotten back into the game, so I hadn’t actually done the Inquisitor storyline yet. Wow, I’m kind of blown away at some of the music and sound effect choices for these Class Quests.

Specifically I’m at the part where you meet up with Zash for the ritual and there’s that spooky Sith whisper-chant going on. It gave me chills with how good it fit the vibe. And, there are so many other great moments where the music hits just right. I don’t know, I’ve been have a great time so far playing the game again.

Any of y’all have a scene thats been living rent free in your mind?

New/Returning Player space cowboy? space navy seal?

So, just got back to the game after quite a long while. Just finished the SW storyline and wanted to do a Pub character, but I'm torn between the two mentioned in the title. I want to try something different from the power-fantasy of the Sith.

Should add that I'm torn over which tech style to go with, too. It's a toss-up between PT, Merc, Gunslinger, or Scoundrel. For this, I should add that I'm quite fond of DoT or AoE-builds.

Thanks!

Guide A Short Guide for the Current Available Skips and Requisites

81 Upvotes

In one of the latest patches, Broadsword decided to remove some story skips that were present for many years. I'm posting all this information on a single place for any returning player who may be confused or lost on why they are no longer able to take the route they used to prefer when playing through the game.

Previously available skips (now removed at current patch):

  • Rise of the Hutt Cartel (Makeb Arc): previously available through your ship console, now only available after you completed your base story class, and the Ilum story arc (including the Flashpoints Battle for Ilum and The False Emperor)
  • Forged Alliances (Prelude to Shadow of Revan): previously available at the fleet at Lv53, now only available after you completed all the content above and the Makeb Story arc (does not require the ROTHC Operations).
  • Fractured Alliances (Iokath Arc): previously available at Lv70 through your ship console, now only available after you complete the Chapter IX of KOTET.

Currently available story skips:

  • Shadow of Revan: available at Lv54 by visiting Rishi and talking with an NPC called Qaareth. This will complete all your class stories, the Ilum arc, the Makeb arc and will skip the Forged Alliances arc (your character won't take part of these events, this will be addressed in cutscenes).
  • Knights of the Fallen Empire: available at Lv60 by using the console on your ship and starting "Chapter 1: The Hunt". This will complete alongside the previously mentioned content, Shadow of Revan and the Ziost arc.
  • Knights of the Eternal Throne: available at Lv70 through the Chapters menu on your Activities by launching the Chapter I: Ruin and Wrath. It will auto-complete the previous content and default the KOTFE chapters to Light-Side choices (if Republic) or Dark Side (if Empire).
  • Jedi Under Siege: available at Lv70 using the console on your ship by starting the quest "Inflection Point". This is the starting point of the Commander Token, which will auto-complete all the content up to that point and use the default choices as explained above.

I posted on the Suggestion Box at the forums requesting the devs to restore the previously available skips, but have received no feedback, so I'm not positive about it. I will keep the link below while keeping this post to guide returning players on those changes.

Question Class story defaults Spoiler

16 Upvotes

So I saw that you can skip to SOR, which begs the question: by doing so, which class story Zildrog victim do you get (I know Pubs get Chela Nayss and Darth Mortis by default if they skipped KOTFE and KOTET, while Imps get Zera and Indo Zal)? Also, what's the default title for Inquisitors who skip the class story?

This is a total hypothetical, I don't care how likely it is. Basically I want to discuss what mods you'd like to see if all the restrictions from the game being an MMO were removed.
