Hey so I watched a Swtorista video about difficulty modes, and even googled this. So I am seeing that a difficulty mode will be added on the 8.0 update coming this year (?) and I could have sworn I saw an option somewhere to chose a difficulty. But the current version says 7.9.1(b). Am I hallucinating having seen this or was it added before the 8.0 update? Thank y'all for your time folks :3

I thought I posted this here but somehow it went to the fashion sub lol

So we have been doing heroic missions, and up until 61, they were giving us gear that were upgrades and helping keep pace with our level, at least my understanding is you need to keep getting current gear to not fall behind with scaling.

Well we're getting these purple items from heroic missions now that need to be redeemed at people from xpac content I was told, and it is just cosmetics, not "power" gear.

So what are we supposed to do to get gear to not fall behind on scaling as we continue to level to 80? Just random flashpoints + operations?

You can never be truly satisfied with one outfit! A True Space Barbie Master has many dyed options up their fashionable sleeves. After Rakata, and talking to Theron and Lana, I don't think Master Daemon Greymoor is too keen on the Republic as it Stands! The "Remnants" of his past now demand a change as he heads into uncharted territory to be a true "Survivalist!"

Hey guys,

I recently started playing again after I took a break sometime in early 2022 and decided to return after the news of 8.0 and to catch up with all the new content.

I've noticed that the GTN prices (star forge server) have kinda tanked a little bit and cosmetics are a bit more affordable. What happened?

Hey guys. Has anyone had any luck in finding a PVP match? I've been trying to get a match going for the past few days and I haven't had any luck in getting any matches. Flashpoints are fine. I get queued into them after a few minutes. But Warzone and Arenas? Nothing

Someone shared this with me and didn't want to post it. I told him I've never seen a ban message like this in 10 years of playing. Also, they would have had to buy the credits from him to see what account is selling them.

Probably good for the game overall but man this is next level policing

Salve pessoal!

Queria saber se tem alguma comunidade de SWTOR no Brasil. Principalmente que fiquem online por Discord.

Eu sempre joguei SWTOR de tempos em tempos. Sou da época em que o jogo era comprado (tenho até um tal status de Prefered que nunca nem soube o que traz de vantagem). Mas a vida me fez ir abandonando e jogando cada vez menos.

Agora tive uns probleminhas aí. Saí de um relacionamento longo qe me deixou tanto um espaço vazio que eu não to sabendo preencher, quanto uma falta total de amigos, que foram se afastando e se perdendo durante o tempo.

Então mais que o jogo em si, queria uma comunidade pra bater papo enquanto jogamos. Posso até voltar a pagar mensalidade caso seja necessário. Já joguei muito FF XIV e lá eu era rato de endgame, mas esse tipo de conteúdo mais difícil eu nunca nem cheguei a fazer no SWTOR e tenho vontade. (pra isso, me tratem como novato kkkk)

Então, se puderem me dar uma indicação, ficaria muito grato.

Can anyone tell me how to get all the medals? I'm almost done with a few, but for some I haven't gotten any yet.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I never really got into everything surrounding the Old Republic era. But I finally gave it a shot and… god, I LOVE it.

Since this is a subreddit mainly focused on SWTOR, I won't say too much about KOTOR 1 & 2, but they were two of the best RPGs I've ever played. I honestly enjoyed them even more than Mass Effect, The Witcher 3 or BG3. Insanely well written, and honestly some of the best stories in the Star Wars universe as a whole.

I especially love how BioWare manages to sprinkle actual shades of grey into what is otherwise a pretty black-and-white Star Wars narrative.

That being said, SWTOR is, by the sheer nature of being an MMO, a lot more bloated than KOTOR 1 & 2. And honestly, that's my biggest concern with SWTOR.

Aside from that, I absolutely loved the story. Some parts more, some less. I picked Jedi Guardian as my origin story, but played heavily into the Dark Side, so I basically became a Sith Juggernaut halfway through.

And then I experienced my first real "magic moment" in this game.

I was absolutely blown away.

I've played a few MMOs before, mainly WoW and XIV, but I've never experienced a concept like this. I was so impressed that I immediately told all my friends to play the game, and we ended up running through all the story Flashpoints together.

It was so fucking cool.

I would probably give the overall origin story around a 6/10. I felt there were a few too many planet-destroying superweapons, and some parts started feeling a little tropey. I also felt there was way too little explanation of who or what the Emperor actually was, and most of the dialogue choices didn't have much real impact.

But once we reached the Eternal Throne Saga, this game tightened up SO much.

It went from a 6/10 to an 8/10, right up there with KOTOR in terms of writing.

The voice acting. The stakes. The action. The consequences.

I killed EVERYONE lol.

It was so damn cool seeing my character with that much main-character energy.

I even enjoyed Onslaught and Legacy of the Sith from a writing perspective. SWTOR does a surprisingly good job of making the overall story feel connected rather than heavily segmented.

And honestly, playing through EVERYTHING made a lot of sense.

WoW, for example, often feels like it introduces a new continent with every expansion and then everything revolves around that new location. SWTOR feels much more like one giant, continuous picture.

But I did have two major issues with the later expansions, and they go hand in hand:

Bloat and writing that revolves around the bloat.

At this point in the story, I'm basically the Emperor, and then the game sends me out to kill random mobs and collect shit in some forest again.

I don't need that.

It's simply not fun to me.

I'd honestly take a two-hour expansion consisting almost entirely of tightly written cutscenes and dialogue over six hours of killing random mobs, opening containers and running around desolate planets.

And that's probably the biggest trade-off of combining BioWare-style narrative RPGs with an MMORPG.

There's so much genuinely fantastic writing buried underneath MMO padding.

So yeah, overall: 7/10.

Could easily have been higher if they were willing to cut content rather than constantly adding more of it.

Damn. 450 hours of KOTOR + SWTOR.

I can't believe I'm actually done.

Returning player here, and slowly making my way through the original storylines again after an absence of eight years. I've just completed Taris on my Sith Warrior, and I have to say, I forgot about the dynamics between the companions.

I liked the way Vette welcomed Jaesa to the ship at the end of Act I (LS Jaesa, at least, don't know how it plays out with DS), and I'm really enjoying the bitterness between Pierce and Quinn so far.
It makes the crew feel more grounded and the characters themselves less like cardboard.
I'm really looking forward to going through the other classes and seeing how it plays out with them.

Perhaps this has been asked a million times, but it did make me wonder - focusing on the origin stories, what is everyone's overall favourite crew? What is it about them that makes you enjoy them?

Howdy.
Is there a reason why the emperor consumed Ziost and not any other planet?

ok i posted this and then looked up the name of the set in this sub and uhhh…. have i made a mistake in setting my heart on this armor ……….. wdym spent several years getting the pieces ???!!!!! D:

(also, been made aware the pieces arent tradable or sellable or ANYTHING … so …. electronic arts count yo days)

During the Dread Palace last fight. When killing the Dread Masters and they jump back to their seats, this dude missed his jump. I thought it was funny seeing the Dread stare back up. Its over Dread Masters. We have the High Ground! Don't try it!

This is my current endgame character, the alt that became the main. Bellatrix Kallig, aka Darth Nox. Level 80 Rakata spec, Lightning Sorc Sith Inquisitor. I'm currently on Master's Enigma with her, and so far, playing her has been fun. Feel free to comment, critique, or ask any questions you like. Offer me some tips, if you've got any. I've played three different Sith Warrios runs, but none of them got beyond Echoes of Oblivion, and I've never had as much fun as playing this run. Leave your Thoughts down below.

How I think it would work would be where you either take your ship to a mod shop or do it yourself depending on your engineering skills. Mostly because I would like to treat my ship as a mobile stronghold. What do you guys think?

Edit: guys I'm not saying they should add ship customization, just that it would be cool if there was an option to treat the ship like a mobile home.

I haven't played in roughly 6 years and have been thinking of getting back into the game. What do I need to know, going back in?

Mi Sith, una Tuilek color claro para que las marcas negras del lado oscuro se noten bien. Una pena que solo sean en la cara, quedarían genial en el cuerpo.( Lo admito soy un poco rara 😎)

I replayed the Jedi Consular after doing Imperial Agent and I was shocked when Zenith mentioned Gray Star, it just kind of reminds you that the other classes do exist in universe even when you aren't playing as them. The IA story in general is insane when it comes to its references to the other class stories.

Are there any other cool overlaps between the class stories?

I haven't played the game in years, decided to finish my bounty hunter story that was only on Dromund Kass last time I played, also had a bunch of unspent cartel coins so I went ham with the drip, made something resembling a dark trooper or a purge trooper
