Maybe you explained this in your next response, but I got lost. I have a guild with multiple subscribers in it, that I'm holding on an f2p account. I haven't had any issues since I passed it to f2p more than a year ago. As long as I remember to log him in within 28 days to refresh the timer. Subs aren't stealing the guild from it, including my own sub account. (I'm actually holding 2 other guilds with that account, and haven't had any issues there either.)

That was one of my big issues, when I first started. This will remove a large portion of needing to group. But after doing some verification digging, it looks like 8 player trials(one big boss) are still going to be group content. The plus side is those are pretty quick usually, and you shouldn't run into one for a while. They do plan to eventually add those, but not until next expansion. A Realm Reborn stuff, base game essentially, is in the 6.1 patch, targeted for mid April. It will be missing the last couple things of that expac. Those will be finished in 6.2. Heavensward and Stormblood are targetted for 6.3 and 6.5 The last 2 expacs already have dungeons in the trust system. Usually they do #.1 patches about every 4 months

It is a really good game, but it does take some getting used to, and I will be honest, early game stuff can be a bit rough, but it gets a lot better later on. I used to think swtor was the best story mmo, until I played from the Heavensward expac on in ff14. (They do have scaling, but its different) Check out the free trial, before you decide to put any money in it, and it includes Heavensward. If you want to wait to try the solo experience for the dungeons that should be 6.1 in mid April. Swtor was my first mmo, July 2012, I never really leave, but I have unsubbed for some extended periods of time and play a lot less. I'll still check in and do a handful of cq. That's what I'm about to go back to. When ff14 drops 6.1, I expect that's where my sub will go again.

Ff14 is adding the main story dungeons into the trust system, which means you can do them with npcs. It's going to take a while to get the whole game done, but the A Realm Reborn stuff should be done in mid April if i saw that correctly. ___ " "We see a lot on social media and conversations that there are these fans of the series who have played every Final Fantasy game except for Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV solely because they want a single player experience. It's a little frustrating. We want to convince them to give us a chance." Yoshi P stated as his reasoning behind the decision. To better accommodate players who want a casual, single-player experience, the team will be expanding on the game's current Trust system. Currently, the Trust system allows you to enter a Shadowbringers or Endwalker dungeon with a party of NPCs that you have allied yourself with throughout the story. The end goal is to bring Trust compatibility to all Main Scenario dungeons, with various NPCs from your adventures able to join you. "

Make a free to play character, get someone to invite it, or invite from another pc. Then make that account the gm, it will ask if you want to convert the guild into f2p status. Once the guild is f2p, your f2p character can continue to hold the guild. The only thing that matters is that it logs in within 28 days. I'm currently subbed along with others in my guild, but my f2p character is still the gm. I leave it that way so when I unsub I dont have to keep passing the guild back and forth. You lose some conveniences, but I'm not exactly sure what, I have had guild bank unlock for years, so i don't notice anything, besides guild ranks changing.

If you still have the sets, mailing them to a character that can use them is filling the set lists and popping achievements for me.

I crafted the Woads arms and leg sets to finish that achievement off, since I already had the body pieces. After I opened them, it did not pop the achievement. In the list of pieces, it says I am missing the three body pieces - Head, waist, and wrists are listed in yellow 41/1. The bar under the icon is filled, like it's complete, but it's also doing that on sets i know I haven't completed.

I believe this is intentional. Back in a pts post they said, "All Bonus Series Missions will now only appear when the planet in question is an invadable planet for that specific Conquest." They did revert a lot of the changes, in the post this was mentioned in, but I don't recall them reverting this. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9882984#post9882984 Toward the bottom.

I agree with this. Not sure why story time is locked away by level. I have quite a few 75s, still in chapter one and two. My thoughts on these changes overall, just on a very basic test and looking through objectives is, this will slow down people that do a bunch of characters, but of the characters you do get done, you will have more points. In theory guilds will still be fine, but it really depends on how conquest looks on a non event week. Also, 999 renown rank up is still not giving points, with the points raised to that objective and the overall nerf of solo activities, it's actually pretty significant now.

I believe they patched it in last week to go off on the timer, that's when double xp showed up on the launcher.

When swoop came out, I liked the idea of a Qol tactical slot, the speed boost tac could sit in. If they could do that, maybe just make a vaccine tac. Only these kind of tacticals could be slotted there so no doubling up on combat tacticals.

Mounts do unlock in collections if bought with certs, I just tested it. At very least, grassland varactyl, aratech eclipse, and adno fireswap worked. I tried over-tuned derelict saber and it did not. I'm pretty sure outfits do not, as others have said, and I don't really have certs left to test, (that I'm not saving for other things anyway).

Swtorista did a break down, here's the list with confirmation from Swtor from her stream. https://swtorista.com/articles/swtor-nar-shaddaa-nightlife-event-guide/#Emperor8217s_Grace_Slot_Machine

I just want to point out there is an upscale bolster on mek-sha, but it's buggy, I had to die and go back to med center before the bolster applied.

It's a waste of credits or money, but escrow transfers, they will add to the credit cap. You buy a 600k escrow transfer you will have access to 1.6mil credits. This is assuming you have a million credits on you and at least 600k in escrow. I can't remember for sure, but believe they also stack, so if you have 1.2 mil in escrow and get two 600k escrow transfers you'll then have access to 2.2 million credits, etc. But this is only a limited increase, once you go below that you cannot get back up to it, without buying another escrow transfer.
