Returning from an age long hiatus. I was a lvl 50 commander before I left several months after the game launched. I picked this game back up recently and saw my character is in full battlemaster gear which doesnt seem to be available anymore. I'm on Ilum right now which makes sense because it was a big PvP hot zone before servers started to die. Just wondering, where do I go from here? I have my companion in full pvp gear as well (Centurion gear I think) so I can hold my own in the immediate area for my level. is there a specific place I go to pick up the story?

Just as the title implies, I'm returning to the game and wondering if there is a place to tell me what level requirement is needed for certain flashpoints and stuff. Thanks

We had a perfect Star Wars MMO. It was called Star Wars Galaxies and it existed in the 6 months between launch and when they dropped the big combat upgrade that ruined the game. Hell I think it was maybe even 8 months after. Regardless, those who were SWG players pre-cu know the deal. Game was legit AF.

Thanks. Seems like this class isnt very strong in the defense department which makes sense given the intended use of ranged dps. Sounds like its a lot of running around and keeping distance for drive by electric shots or sneak up on an ensuing fight and dropping in AoE attacks.

If you read Darth Plagueis book, you'd know that regardless of Jedi or Sith standing, survivability wasnt great. One part of the book talks about a jedi knight and his apprentice getting destroyed in a matter of seconds by a wreckless dark side acolyte who got them in a surprise attack. Another example is Plagueis being with a ton of guards going to a meeting and almost dies by non-force users who launched an ambush. He was only saved by Sidious. So the lore is out the window but I made a thread in PvP about how viable a Sorcerer is in PvP since I'm a returning player and reacquainting myself with the game. Should have read here first. Doesn't sound good lol.

I'm also a returning player. Was there a graphics update at some point? Reason I ask is I apparently made a new character before I stopped playing. It was a Sorcerer leveled to 3. I picked up on that last night and went to level 15 and the clothing looks really good. I checked out my Trooper who was a level 50 with 2nd tier PvP armor from back in the day and the armor looks like crap. It looks like it would have been passable when the game launched but doesnt look nearly as sharp or defined as the new stuff.

When I first played this game at launch, I was expecting a feeling like that of KOTOR. I think the game is much closer to that now than it was at launch so I do feel the devs are going in the right direction. With that said, my favorite MMO of all time is SWG. I'm not sure what it would look like but if KOTOR was a sandbox MMO I think it would be pretty sweet. But given the game is similar to KOTOR and I just returned, I'm rather happy with the current state. Apparently there was a server move which is nice because while I enjoy doing missions solo, its fun to see a lot of people running around and requesting invites to do other missions.

I'm a returning player. I played the game on launch for months, with my main as a trooper and got the 2nd tier PvP armor. The armor I have for that character is still there but is no longer accessible via vendors. I remember PvP was really fun back then. I started a sorcer at some point before leaving (he was a lvl 3) and got him up to 15 last night (my first time coming back). Not sure what exactly changed or if it was my time away from the game but I find it really fun. Anyway, i used to do a lot of PvP instead of end game content and was wondering, in the games current state, how well do Sorcerers perform in PvP. I don't think I'd abandon the character as things tend to get nerfed and buffed over time and I'm thoroughly enjoying the Sith side for PvE. But I know I will eventually have that PvP itch and was curious about the classes performance. Thanks

Well put. And like I said, its not all the time it happens; I just noticed it didn't operate correctly the other night. Sidenote: *** is with the sound system constantly screwing up? I never heard "jet engines" like they said. Instead, the voices break up from the announcer or I can't hear abilities being performed.

Call it what you want, it's still super lame when you're playing a team full of guys who leap like Lebron James.

I think the resolve is broken as well. I was in hutt ball and was frozen, came out of it and was in a whirlwind thing, bar was full, and i got frozen in the fire pit while crossing it and eventually died. Also, while it may be "intended" that the jedi/sith leap ability can freeze you for a second even w/ resolve up, I think they should fix it so that it can't. When you have 3 jedi on you and you're near the goal area in HB, 3 leaps = 3 seconds of stun = long time, relatively speaking. Either fix that or give troopers something (like our knock-back back w/ stockstrike)

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say ionic accelerator though.

Respec'd to assault from gunnery. Was wondering if anyone had any tips on what works best. I assume eliminator armor is still the armor of choice...

I've had an active sub since January and my main character is a level 50 trooper. I keep reading about people getting free 30 day for a lvl 50 character. Did you get an email or was it in game or what? Only thing new I got in game was the legacy weapon piece or something. Any help?

Actually mine is only showing 3. Thanks for the hot tip though.
