If you've watched their cantina events, then you should know they wont answer any of your questions adequately, if they address them at all. Teaser trailer, and they'll say how awesome its going to be without any specifics.

"Look at me, helping!" "After this drink" Yeah its a pretty lame companion. Not missing anything.

Make money, level alts, strongholds, datacrons, achievements, starfortesses, rep grind, influence grind, specialist grind, and there is probably more to do at endgame. Granted, I did start doing pvp as something different after I maxed a lot of the reps and leveled alts. Not everyone is going to share your interests.

I started playing a week before SoR launched. I'm a story RPG player. This was my first mmo actually, and while I dabbled in group stuff, and ended up loving pvp, I'm primarily a solo player. I have leveled each class multiple times, some as many as 5-7. I love the vanilla stories. I also enjoyed the expansions, even the little ones like illum and oricon. Well, the pirate rishi theme kind of threw me off, but that's fine. The expansions got old fast though; just not near the depth and variation of vanilla, which is to be expected. That being said, I had high hopes for kotfe. I was that guy arguing with the pessimists about just how awesome kotfe was going to be. Choices were going to matter, we could kill companions we didn't like, they are going to focus on story this expansion, and the trailers really indicated this was going to be awesome. I almost cried when arcann killed his brother. In the end, my conclusion is that they told a far better story in the trailers than in all of kotfe. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't. I feel like they could have done so much better with most of their resources going to story. I hope kotet is better. I'll play it too, but for now I'm at a point where I have exhausted all the content that I'm interested in, so it's so long for now... Or will be once I slog through the last few fps and the ec for dvl event. Pretty sure I can I the two weeks I have left. Also, don't kid yourselves. I know you care about my opinion.

Not to me. I haven't done them since I got the one and only achievement. They used to drop 208 mods that sold for 200k+, but, meh. They got old fast.

Its good to see this. I hope we see more of you chatting around on the forums, Eric.

We will see, I hope so. Also, there is consequence to using his power too much

There is no inflation? The game caused inflation. Changes to heroics, crew skills, and removal of credit sinks. Its not a bad thing necessarily. Stuff costs more than a year ago, getting credits is far easier too. And, no, its not bots and credit sellers. Those already effected the market as they were around prior to this current jump in prices. Its not greed either. People don't buy stuff if its over priced to them, subsequently the unsold item is relisted for less unti lo it does sell. People are willing to pay higher prices because credits are so much more abundant.

I remember them saying they did it as a throw back to kotor and to allow for more options. Not that id expect them to admit they can't afford it. Using hind sight, did they even utilize 4 or more choices beyond displaying the text and having different responses? I prefer my characters talking. The sarcasm, hostility, any emotion is lost in text. So, signed.

Huge difference between kotfe and vanilla. Vanilla is a good example of the extent of difference you can have in the body of the adventure and the end result in an mmo. In kotfe, we only got one mini side quest at the beginning and few other dialogue/cut scene difference based on our choices. Anyone who thought kotfe would have different endings were mistaken. I did hope for more variation in quests though, they even said as much. I expected more story companions to die or leave than his koth based on choices, since they said as much. I just hope they don't stretch the truth as much with kotet.

Because I enjoy pvp. I post my opinion. It used to be a lot more positive and optimistic. Don't worry, jll be taking another break soon, but until then, I'd recommend ignoring me. I don't have many good things to say about the game unfortunately. I'd also keep in mind that its a good thing people care enough about the game to complain. You should worry once the complaining has died down, because that either means they made the game something everyone enjoys all aspects of (highly unlikely), or people gave up and moved on. Careful what you wish for.

Not if you sell mats. By far the easiest money.

Selling mats on the gtn is profitable and painless. Running heroics seems T be the most popular these days. You can do both at the same time, depending how hard you work, you might hit 50 mil in a week, two weeks is more realistic. For me, nothing is worth 50 mil. I spend my credits on packs and the occasional hypercrate and collect the stuff I like, sell the rest.

Some inability to do so. Droid doesn't have good innovative thought. Processor fart. Basically, though, advancement of plot. Kind of like why any bad guy decides not to kill the protagonist at his/her most vulnerable.

After the first planet, I leveled my first character solely doing pvp and heroics to keep my gear up. You don't even need to do the story anymore. Just pvp or fps, and heroics, all three have terminals. Conveniently on fleet. Being new, you are doing it right. This game has great immersive stories, including the flashpoints, side quests, and don't overlook the bonus series'. Don't worry with your level.
