  1. This doesn't even really have relevance. Except in very rare cases, you can't sell a Star Wars product without featuring a Jedi Knight in the marketing material (which is what those promotional videos are.) You can get away without featuring the Jedi in stuff that really doesn't involve or doesn't focus on them (Republic Trooper), but, from a marketing standpoint, it's a Jedi Knight that sells Star Wars when you're telling a "Save the galaxy" story. The promotional videos for KOTFE simply follows that concept. The fact that you might use a different character class doesn't make the story any less relevant...it just wouldn't sell as well as using a Jedi Knight.
  2. That hasn't been my experience so far. I'm in the process of leveling up an Imperial Agent, currently running through Balmorra. I'm only a couple levels higher than the content I'm going through, and the only issue I can forsee at this point is that I'll be a bit undergeared when I head to Nar Shaada. Then again, I'm only doing the class and planet story quest lines, no heroics or non-story FP's as I progress along. (I do have to admit, however, I do have 4 effects on my class buff due to Legacy, so that does make things a little easier.
  3. I got to that point having never accepted Valkorion's assistance and got the same option for Tora as well.
  4. On my Smuggler, I was 56 when I started the SOR Flashpoints...gained a level per flashpoint. Landed on Rishi and first mission turn in put me at 61. About halfway through the Yavin content, I hit 65. This is without any XP boosting whatsoever since Early Access started
  5. It in entirely possible that it could be at that time. Everyone already has all the assets to play, it's just a matter of flipping the switch to ON for the folks that didn't qualify for Early Access.
  6. Before 4.0, I had basically transferred all my alts credits to my main, leaving each alt with about 250K. I've recently started my smuggler on the Shadows of Revan content and as of this moment (about midway between the FPs Blood Hunt and Battle For Rishi), I've made about 1M credits on just mission payouts, mob drops and vendoring items I no longer need. Further, that with no extra side missions and no extra content...Just following the class story path from the Korriban FP forward.
  7. There is one thing that I recall Valkorion saying that may have some relevance as to why the reset was done. During one of those time stop instances, when he's giving you the opportunity to use his power, I think you ask him about why he's doing all this. Valkorion basically tells you that down through the centuries he'd been content to keep at his ritual, but then you came on scene and were able to make your own destiny and that made him rethink what he was doing. Of course, it's the Emperor, so he might have just been saying that to persuade you to take his power (for those of us that are resisting that). As to the premise of the story reset, I think of it as what happened to all the great empires of the ancient world. Think of the Sith Empire and Republic as Ancient Rome and the Eternal Empire as the Germanic tribes that essentially swept away all the years of progress and culture, only the Eternal Empire is pre-emptively eliminating a threat to their own culture. It's essentially the Dark Ages for the Core Worlds and the Alliance we're building is going to be the kickstart for their version of the Renaissance.
  8. It's what caused me to give up for the evening on The Harbinger. Run a few feet, hit an invisible wall for 10-20 seconds, run a few more feet, wait again. Hit a quest NPC and wait 30 seconds for the quest cinematic or KOTOR-style screen to start up, select a response and wait a bit for the response back. It took maybe 30 mins to do C2-N2's mission and that was without any side exploring. The mission segment in the Cantina probably took about 10 minutes or so due to all the response lag.
  9. With most games, I can usually tell myself "One, maybe two hours." and be done early. However, I've managed to get through Chapter 1-8 of KotFE, and not only did I have an absolute blast playing, but I finally gave up trying to play for an hour or two and just gave in to starting at 10:30PM and then looking at the clock and seeing it was 2, 3 AM. In past games, the best that they were able to do was get me excited for some little moment here and there. With this, I've been completely wrapped in entire Chapters here. And, in Chapter 8, I was freakin' shattered for a few moments. I've played a number of different story-based games in the past, some that had damn good stories, and I've never had this level of investment in any segment of a game. If they keep this up for the following chapters, I don't know if I'll survive it.
  10. Highly doubtful that this would be in consideration for a title. (An) Empire Divided was the descriptive name in the title for Star Wars: Galaxies. Just throwing that out there.

  12. When you have to travel to one of the starter worlds (Ord Mantell, Tython, Hutta or Korriban), you will have to route through the Orbital Station for that planet. On arrival (clicking the hatch to exit your ship), just proceed across the walkway, take the elevator to the main station, then directly across from the airlocks out to the shuttle bay to take a shuttle to the planet. When you are complete, return to the spaceport (OM, Tython, Hutta) or shuttle (Korriban). Clicking on the shuttle door should give you 4 options: the location you're at, the ______ Orbital Station, Republic/Imperial Fleet or Your Ship. Story wise, the starter worlds don't have spaceports that can accommodate your personal ship, only shuttles, and have to berth your ship elsewhere while you conduct business on the planet. There used to be a cutscene when you left an orbital station that showed your ship being pushed into space from a lower airlock.
  13. Yes, it will. I had the game installed and running on a single core P4 from beta until about a month and a half after launch. When the system gave out, it was the video card (a Radeon 36XX AGP) that gave up, and not the CPU. It wasn't running the game pretty and was rather choppy at times, but it was playable with patience. The single core I was using was a P4 Prescott at 2.8 GHz...not a Celeron (which is essentially a crippled P4.)
  14. From this post: That should clear it up.
