Pssssh... "Died". He is probably in the carbonite chamber next to the one you woke up in. Also, if you leave the story before he dies, he works fine as a companion. Technology is his favorite companion gift.

Throwing lots of credits at companion gifts.

HK-51 is still really great in DPS mode. At rank 50 his Hunter-Killer ability hits for 35k regularly. Terminate hits in the mid to high 20k range... and those work on champion and elite mobs, and work while he already in a fight. I get a lot more use out of them then I ever got out of Assassinate.

You should get a group of roleplayers together to go PvP entirely in character. That would be amazing.

This is what I think everytime I see someone talking about this. I have something like 19 companions now, and I don't have them all. With that many companions, that all behave similarly, there is no reason to just not go after the ones that you don't want to do the quest for. It also makes sense to me that if you want all the companions, you will need to interact with all the different parts of the game. I anticipate there will eventually be a companion that you have to do GSF to get. They are like achievements now.

If you have them at 10k Influence, you won't have to do anything to get them to rejoin you when they show back up in the storyline. For Talos, that isn't really a big deal, and so you could probably skip getting his influence up. If you were looking at a companion that has an irritating quest (like pierce/4x if you don't PvP) then it is worth it so you can skip that.

I really can't wrap my mind around why anyone would choose to stand around idle rather than doing something. It isn't like getting killed in PvP is some horrible thing. Doing something towards the objectives is more entertaining than watching Netflix in the other monitor.

I also use holostatues to retrain. Not being able to commit without zoning or relogging appears to be a bug. It was not that way prior to 4.0. I like the ability to switch between specs as needed.

I noticed that even though all companions can be used for all three roles now, Treek and HK-51 have abilities that the other companions don't have. Treek has an entirely different set of healing abilities for instance, including an AOE heal. HK's DPS bar is significantly different from other companions. Has anyone seen a comparison of those abilities to other companions?

Yeah. It would be slow going at first until you built up enough cash on hand to be making good profits, but it is certainly doable.

I have not noticed this happening in Warzones. If it doesn't happen in Warzones, then I think that making people move out of the spawn area is enough. Otherwise, people would be doing this in Warzones.

Does this happen in warzones too? I don't think I have seen it, but I haven't looked. j If it doesn't, then I think that doing the same "you must leave the safe zone area" thing would fix the problem.

I disagree with this tactically, but I think you should start a new topic so we can argue about it without hijacking the thread.

This is a really useful post.

I am primarily a blaster fighter, but I love rocket pods. If anyone is curious, one of the master level abilities gives them a DoT that ticks for 15-20 damage every second for 5 seconds.
