  1. Vette is one of my favorites, and ... ... I chose Torian. Why? It was on my Knight (only one who has gone through KotET). His experience guided him towards Torian: 1) The Mandalorians are always a problem. Now, we finally have the opportunity to make them a reliable long-term ally. But that's as long as Shae, and Mandos like Shae, are in control. Torian has been marked as one of her most balanced leaders. I, and the Alliance, need Mandos like Torian. 2) Vette: All I know of Vette is that she is a pretty capable teammate ... but with a bit shady background. AFAIK, she hasn't told my Knight about her slave background. Yes, she made one comment about giving some of her Gilded Star loot to disadvantaged Twi'leks, but that's the extent. So the strategic call was easy: the Mando.
  2. Honest question: After all the changes to CXP, is it really still worse than previous? From my very limited understanding (I never did Ops or PvP), it used to be that the only way to get top level PvE gear was through Ops. Maybe also NM mode FP's?? And there was an RNG element in that in that you had to win the roll on the drop. So I never had near BIS gear. Now, you still have that. But there's also the (slooow) option to just do whatever you want, and you'll (slooowly) accrue the gear through CR crates. Plenty of RNG, but you will most definitely get at least to a ton of 246's if not 248's. So again, at its current state: is it worse than previous. And if so, how? If you just ignored it and did the old way (run Ops ... NM FP's?) - is it slower/worse than before?
  3. If your goal is to get them to 300, and get the gear that way, the efficient way is one at a time simply due to the Commanding Legacy perk (2M credits from your Legacy > Global Unlocks > Other window). It gives a 25% bonus to CXP rate for all <300 toons for each of the 4 main classes (mirrors don't count) that has reached 300. So, get the first toon up to 300, and the second will gain CXP at 1.25x the base rate. Get two (non-mirrored) toons to 300, and every sub-300 toon will gain CXP at 1.5x base rate, etc. But otherwise, it is up to what you want to do with your own game, i.e. feel free to ignore "efficiency".
  4. I think the technical answer is 'no' ... but you will get close. Early on, you will be way overleveled, but by the time you get to Corellia, you'd be behind if all you did was the class quests.
  5. What they said. In total: Dromund Kaas and Coruscant are faction-specific (Imp/Rep respectively). Your other-faction can access, but it costs 1000 credits to "smuggle" them in. [One cute thing: smugglers and agents get a discount, since they are presumably sneaky!] But this gets old fast. So you DEFINITELY will want at least both (or one Neutral faction SH) Nar Shaddaa is by far the cheapest of the open faction SH's. I'd recommend it. But each has its charms. If you eventually get into the Conquest events, note you get a bonus for each of up to 6 strongholds (you no longer have to decorate them to qualify, just have them). The benefit to having only one which all can access is that you will want to put in the utility decorations (a GTN terminal, a Cargo bay, etc.). These are a bit costly. So you could get by with only one set if you put it in a faction-neutral SH.
  6. Hmm, I don't think you get LS/DS from any convo choices, except those two (for a total of 250), but maybe I'm wrong. How did you notice that it was exactly 2 DS points, was that on the quest reward window? That would mean you got 252 DS offsetting the 250 LS from the convos for a net 2 DS. In which case, it's gotta be the LS/DS alignment toggle that KendraP mentioned above. That gives you DS points for all the mobs you kill, and I think some value for quest completion, which can add up.
  7. Hmmm, does this post answer your Q? I checked two of my old toons. That had made matrix cube relics. Now, they both have all matrix shards in their "mission items" inventory. Sounds like you are saying that yours are not there? Likely you can't recollect them since it still is logged as that character having done so. So I think your only recourse would be to make a CS ticket.
  8. A few other things: The fireworks are one use each. It's just a "fun" thing you light off somewhere, maybe to celebrate some accomplishment, up to you. The paint job is for your Galactic Starfighter ship. Just cosmetic, of course. If you don't plan on doing GSF, you can dump these. How to dump? Drag the item outside of inventory (and not on a vendor), and you can destroy it. Usually, you'd "vendor" (i.e. sell to a vendor NPC), stuff (if not try to sell on GTN). But these mailed freebies typically cannot be vendored. Inventory/Cargo: You can buy more inventory slots and cargo bays. There's little + symbols on each to buy additional. You can also buy unlocks in the Cartel Market or GTN. I recommend the "account"-wide versions. For the Legacy storage bays (highly recommend you max out to 6), you can get away with non-account since they are shared by all toons on your Legacy (server).
  9. Belsavis, "Locate the Enemy", Master Timmns I enjoyed that one (like most of the SW story!)
  10. There's this old site, but alas, all the links (to torrhead) are long dead: https://swtor.gamepedia.com/Companion_Influence_Missions
  11. Yes, thanks for the transcription ... and all you do for the community! Sounds good for you PvP'rs. But the 6.0 lack of info and vagueness are disappointing (though expected). My sub has expired. So, maybe I'll talk to ya'll again if/when it drops.
  12. Understood. If you want to buy a lot of stuff, sub If you want to do Ops or a lot of PvP, sub If you want to do the end-game Command Rank grind, sub If crafting is your thing, and you want to max it out (# of comps crafting, chance of crit), sub But if all you want to do is play the 8 class stories, it is easily done without subbing. I've done 10 of them that way. I don't know why some say it is so painful. On a Pref account with lots of unlocks, it is barely an issue. On a new pure F2P account, yes, lots of limitations. That made a fun mini-game of its own (how to do with less).
  13. Known issue right now, with both subs and CC purchases. They are working to correct. See: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9610601#edit9610601 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Cartel-Coins/td-p/6849921 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Subscribed-on-the-site-but-not-working-in-game/td-p/6845444/page/19
  14. I hear you. It's actually liberating in a way. Get out of the make money or the Command Rank grind. Though it may be replaced by the "near my credit limit, must spend" feeling (though now you can just sock it away in Legacy credit bank instead). Contrary to the other repliers, I spend most of my time as a Preferred, and I'm fine with it. And, yes, class stories are the best part of the game (IMO).
  15. I have a vague recollection that this happened to me periodically, not sure. Wild shot: try changing its keybinding. Maybe it is interfering with something else that was reassigned?
