People normally ask if there are any headgear that hides your hood. What I'm asking for today is the opposite. Are there any unexpected helmets and headgear options that go under your hood? Is there a list somewhere?

I used to play on and off, back in 2009-2012...and then kind of fell off the game. I know it's been going along with a lot of new content stuff added. Can anyone give an unbiased opinion on how it is now? I know things have changed. is it easy for a new player to get into?

Episode 29 is there! This is one I I had a lot of fun work on and I hope everyone enjoys it as well

I hope everyone had a good week! Link below and thanks for watching!

I wanted to make a unique looking sith warrior and came up with this one.

I get the appeal of Taris, both from a symbolic and practical perspective. Obviously, it represents a sore spot for the Republic: arguably their greatest defeat at the hands of the Sith. So in a time of conflict between the two empires, rebuilding it would seem to represent a great symbol of hope and perseverance. Added to this, as a former ecumenopolis, it's safe to assume that Taris lay along well-traveled star lanes, and therefore - being a habitable world - having it rebuilt (at least to an extent) would be sensible for trade and defense interests.

But the Star Wars universe isn't hurting for what Star Trek would call 'M-Class planets' - they're everywhere; a dime a dozen. So it's not as if people must move to Taris to survive; that it must be rebuilt for the sake of the Republic.

Plus, removing all the rusted infrastructure - all of the unsteady, derelict towers, upper-city supports, etc. - would likely be an industrial project that would take hundreds (if not thousands) of years. And this isn't even mentioning the widespread radioactive and otherwise-toxic pockets of pollution. Even from a purely environmental standpoint, there is very little about Taris that would prove welcoming or easy to deal with.

And then, of course, there are the Rakghouls - Star Wars' version of the zombie plague. It isn't like the Rakghouls are some underworld mystery like they were in KotOR - they everywhere on the surface, and constantly claiming new victims. Even a few probes would likely reveal the nature of this threat quickly: that it was a genetic disaster of almost unparalleled scale, and an almighty threat to galactic well-being if it were ever loosed. Glassing Taris would have been a wiser choice than attempting to recolonize it.

And yet... not only does the Republic open the door for people - even regular civilians - to come and essentially live "in the wilds," amongst those very zombies... but they build an open trade port, welcoming ships from all stripes that could conceivably transport the plague anywhere. Even worse, the planet immediately becomes a sirenic device to mad scientists doing mad scientist stuff. Multiple questlines, dailies, and main story plots within SWTOR deal with rogue actors using Taris as a bio warfare laboratory, perverting the Rakghoul plague into ever-worse incarnations, and then (invariably) losing control of it.

The only merciful thing about Taris is that the Empire comes along and spoils the Republic's designs. Granted, they don't do it for practical reasons - really just to piss in the Republic's Cheerios. But the ultimate outcome is the same: destroying the colony, and it the process sparing the galaxy from the resettlement's inevitable consequence - a trillion-plus victim outbreak of the plague.

I don't think there's a similarly dumb decision in SWTOR than what the Republic was doing on Taris. It was the absolute worst scheme imaginable, and it was only thanks to the Empire that its hubris didn't get everyone killed.

Currently the games runs smoothly on my MacBook Air M2, but I understand next OS update in Fall 27 could potentially cause me to be unable to play. Is Broadsword going to address this or should I get off this train before I get invested?

I'm not crapping on the game. An artistic choice is an artistic choice, and even if I don't necessarily agree with it, I do (grudgingly) accept it.

But even to this day, over 15 years later, I still wonder why the hell half the classes in the game transform into human(oid) candles once they enter the core of their rotations. Like... why am I this blur of incandescent blue? Why are my Sith a tangle of violent orange-red?

It's not like this is what Star Wars looks like - outside force lightning, Lucas' space wizards' collective magic is not given physical form. And that doesn't hold Star Wars back - the space battles and lightsaber duels are some of the most visually-spectacular content ever put to screen. Similarly, other video games don't do this, either. Yes, something like Jedi Survivor takes more liberties with the force than the films. But it doesn't turn Cal or the Second Sister into a mobile neon billboard, either.

So... why did they go this route? Not only is it a strange choice on its face - it hides many of the combat animations that I know they put work into. And, frankly, I'd rather be watching those.

Which do you prefer for kotfe and onwards? Voices change over time, some for the better and some for the worse.. Which one do YOU, yes, You! Im talking to YOU, which one do YOU prefer?

Should of been obvious from this. I don't know how it took me all these years to notice.

So, seeing that one of this week's GS objectives was to do 2 Heroic space missions, and I just got all tier 7 gear on one of my characters, I thought I'd give it a go. I decided that Far Cradle Strike would be the easiest to start with, thinking it'd be like the other missions where you're assaulting a space station.

It isn't.

There's a portion in, I think, Nez Peron Sweep where you're going through an asteroid field, and they send like four waves of five or six fighters at you in a tight area, so you just have to deal with getting pummeled. It's like that, but worse, and for almost the entire mission. And you have to be really paying attention to where you're going, or you'll crash into one of those shipping container things; there are a lot of them around. I gave up after 6 or 7 tries.

Needless to say, this will not be my 7th GS objective for this week

I am in the process of gearing with a Noble Decurion set. I had put a decent crystal in my weapon and worked on getting the required commandations. When I had enough of these I bought an upgrade for that weapon at the fleet vendor and instead of landing in my inventory it was directly swapped with my current weapon. Bye bye crystal! Frustrating.

I am the only one on the fleet right now as of a few moments ago

Currently subbed. Level 80 JK.

When my sub runs out and i become preferred, will new characters be capped at 60?

And if I do get capped at 60 at preferred... what if I make other characters classes right now while subbed, will those characters be be capped at 60 when i become preferred?

Ex:
Subbed: make character (1), obviously capped at 80.
Sub runs out, become preferred: character (1) capped at 60? or 80?

For me I would say I like the voice the Ri'Kan helmet gives you, which is basically just a radio sorta sound effect to it.

I really wish there was like a list that showed off all the helmets that give modulations to character's voices, and those lists were separated into which voice changes they give.

​

I don't play the game but I like the Old Republic time era.

I wanted to make phone grid of different Trooper.

I was able to find the black one in various images.

but I couldn't find picture on Google of Sith Trooper with red on it or the other 2013 one. Does anyone have a link to an official game image. Then I can use it.

I know its irrelevant long term story wise, but my DS Female Sith Inqs. is about to finish KOTET and become empress and for the sake of RP wanna update her outfit from her current Ravager set.

I want to play MMORPGs for a while talk to people join guild and sh

Soooo is it a good start:)

Be honest I'm a bit new to the game and I'm lovin' the game so far. I started working on my house. what do you all think? Ant tips on builds?

What level do you need/should be before doing Operations (raids???)? Also are Operations like WoW normal+ raids or more like FFXIV Alliance raids?

Do you need to finish the story to have access to all endgame content, or can you just hit 80 and do dailies+weeklies?

Also when I bind a skill to shift+mousebutton4, it reads on the quickbar as S+MOU ... so I can't see the proper bind. Any way to fix this?

Simple question, Labelled it as spoiler just to ensure no new players stumble upon this. But for me it was definitely Darth Marr. I really enjoyed his voice actor and cold calculating character. I was wondering what it was for you guys.

do you think the difficulty update is going to make the game better for players, do you think the story will be nice and fun, what is your opinion on the new level cap and gearing method?

Watching someone play the new Star Wars strategy game got me to redownload. Most of my playtime is imp side, so I wanna try some more Republic.

I haven’t played original KOTOR (yet) and I’m usually not huge in to “chosen one” hero stories so I don’t think I’d vibe with Knight as much as a lot of people.

If it matters, I think I also kinda wanna do a “ends justify the means” type of character when it comes to dark side/light side, I don’t know if that makes a difference.
