  1. I have no answer for the BH otherwise than I just got through it, because it's my favourite class. In the case of my smuggler, the only thing that helped me was a comment I read on this forum, to the effect that they just kind of viewed the whole thing as a comedy. I can see why; the smuggler has some great lines in those expansions that had me laughing out loud more than once (not that I can remember them now, but still). My smuggler always struck me as perpetually amazed to be there and that was how I went with it. Not sure I would do it again, though.
  2. Agreed. I am thoroughly sick of his white outfit, and my dark side characters usually kill him, making the other outfit impossible to get. There are loads of Arcanns around, and they all look exactly the same; just being able to change his armor would be great. From what I understand he's a "unique" body type--hence the problem--but even having the dark side outfit universally available would be nice.
  3. Made me laugh, until I realized that this is exactly what the proposed changes to conquest look like. I await 6.0 with bated breath.
  4. I was just on Darth Malgus and there is definitely no double CXP.
  5. Totally agree. Whenever I need to dump Theron (which I've done several times now, because I tend to feel sentimental toward my original LIs) my husband does the scene for me; he volunteers, he enjoys it so much. But having seen his characters dump Lana, I find the scene with her incredibly sad. She looks so hurt. It was a well-written and acted scene, I think.
  6. Yep. Haven't been able to get back in after a few tries.
  7. I think that's dead right. From a story standpoint I find what might come to pass quite fascinating, but no matter what happens, people are going to be deeply unhappy. Your LI and other companions don't care which faction you're with? Unrealistic and immersion-breaking. They do care and leave you? Give me my companions back! It's one thing if you know it's going to happen--for instance, anyone who starts a trooper now but previously played another one all the way through in the past will be aware of the Elara/Zakuul issue--but when we were originally given a choice to turn saboteur we were flying blind. Of course, we could have considered what might happen down the road, but that doesn't stop people feeling cheated. Or maybe people will be fine with it. I don't know if there was a hue and outcry when troopers lost Elara in Iokath for previous decisions. Up until now I've decided whether to turn saboteur or not with an eye both toward following the character's story arc, and whether or not I'm willing to lose certain companions. Hedging my bets, if you will. Hopefully more will become plain with 6.0.
  8. *SPOILERS BELOW* I think there would have to be consequences with your LIs or else it would just be plain weird. In addition to the ones you mentioned above, I can't see Nadia sticking with the consular if he goes to the Empire. I also just can't imagine Theron would be okay with it in the long run; he hated Saresh, but overall he's a Republic man right down the line. And what about Dark Jaesa? No way she'd hang with the Republic--they won't let her kill everything in sight. Doc fought against the Empire on Balmorra so I wouldn't think he'd follow a saboteur JK to the enemy--same with Corso, who hated the Imps for supporting the Seps on Ord Mantell. Other LIs like Kaliyo (no morals whatsoever), Andronikos (although he did hate the Republic once), possibly Torian (he's more of a laid back surfer dude Mando), Mako, Vette, and Risha might not mind so much which faction their main squeeze is siding with. Maybe Lana, too. Or I could be totally wrong. Whatever the case, I do expect people will be losing LIs for their decisions--look at how they took Elara away if you blew up Zakuul.
  9. I second all of the above. It would have been great to at least receive a letter from the vanilla LIs, but I accept that this was just supposed to be a bit of story to tide us over until 6.0. Hopefully something more will come along in the actual expansion. But, yeah, I hadn't really expected even this much story content, and I enjoyed it.
  10. Thanks for this. I think I might actually semi-understand the basics now!
  11. Good to know. When will the next Rakghoul event be then?
  12. As my sniper will attest, Vector is an alliance alert now (the typical 2 minute type).
  13. The assassins are definitely still there--whether they appear in your story just depends on which conversational choices you take when discussing how to lure Ashara into your trap. I've recently done the SI story twice and I've gone both routes (assassins and no assassins, I mean).
