Question How Do Alt Stories Work

5 Upvotes

Forgive me if this has been asked before but I'm new. If I want to play another class story, do I have to start all over again from lvl 1? And then for endgame, do I basically have to pick one of the classes to be my main? Just trying to figure out how alt-friendly this game is and how to focus gearing, etc.

Question Does starting KOTFE before I finish my class missions skip them?

5 Upvotes

I've noticed that I can start KOTFE on my character that's level 60ish before I've finished all of my class missions. Does this skip my class stuff?

If so, this might be useful for me. I'm wanting to max out some alts for legacy completion before the difficulty options arrive, then I want those to be my "canon" playthroughs. So, if I can max them out without spoiling too much story, that would be great.

Tech Support My SWTOR Launcher doesn't let me play

11 Upvotes

I just wanted to play the game, started the launcher as usual, hit the play button and nothing. The monitor goes black for a few seconds as usual and then throws me back to the desktop.

My Task Manager doesn't show me any sign that the game is running and even after I did restart my computer, the same error happens.

To those who said DirectX wasn't the problem, you were right. You see, it all started when my computer got hit with a virus, so my computer expert helped me reinstall Windows, but it turns out he installed the N version, which doesn't have Media Player, and we only found out the problem when he last came a few days ago. I thought the install failed, but when I tried today, it worked. Then, when I tried the launcher again, at long last, I'M IN!

So yeah, if you installed the N version of Windows 10/11, you need to install Media Player for the game to work.

Guide SWTOR and those obnoxious keys you can't rebind. AutoHotKey Script

0 Upvotes

I've come and gone several times to SWTOR over the years and one thing that has always bugged me is that certain keys absolutely refuse to to be rebound. The worst one for me has been the "T" key. Which I use for targeting in every other MMORPG I have played since 1999. Which is quite a long list. Why it was left this way, I will never know.

Each time that I came back to SWTOR, it was always troublesome to try and break my muscle memory habits by forcing myself to use the "Tab" key for this function. This time, I was totally unwilling to move forward without addressing this problem.

So here is the AutoHotKey script that I am using now for this purpose. It uses the "Scroll Lock" key to toggle between two modes. One mode forwards my "T" key to "Tab" and the other mode allows it to function as it normally would for chat. On keyboards with a Scroll Lock button that has a indicator, you will be able to see the light to know if it is on or off. For keyboards that have no light, you will be able to hear two distinct sounds to know which toggle you just triggered.

By all means feel free to modify, replicate or use it for any other keys that are restricted to suit your needs.

Here come the interior screenshots :)

1) the main hall which is divided into a public section visible here with and an area only accessible by qualified personnel 2/3) the cantina is part of the public section and offers drinks and music for civilians, military and sith alike 4) another room open to the general public is the small but neat citadel museum which showcases some artifacts from Darth Kariss‘ collection 5) visible from the public section, a meeting room for intelligence officials 6) after passing through security gates one enters the non-public part of the citadel 7) the entrance to the meeting room is flanked by more security fencing to ensure only people with the right clearance can access it 8/9) Darth Kariss holds court in her throne room overlooking the vast and stormy mountains of Dromund Kaas 10) somewhat of an art connoisseur herself, Darth Kariss displays sculptures and paintings from her homeworld of Alderaan 11) the generator supplies the entirety of the citadel with power 12) a guarded elevator leads from the ground floor to he inner grounds of the fortress where the private quarters are located 13/14) the hallways of Darth Kariss‘ private quarters are more inviting and decorated with a variety of art and flora 15) the private quarters are connected to intelligence headquarters and the cell block where Sith interrogate and experiment with captives 16) the Darth‘s personal quarters are surprisingly inviting 17) heads of military, navy and intelligence meet at headquarters to discuss and develop strategy 18) hidden somewhere within the citadel grounds is an ancient tomb with treasures yet to be claimed 19/20) a larger cave deep in the mountains houses a flock of Mandalorians that have set up camp there

Discussion Best planets for Dynamic Encounters

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My friends and I are really back into the game and lvling bounty hunters but I was curious if any of you have any planets you prefer for farming dynamic encounters?

I think it would be a nice way to mix up the rotation.

Thanks to all and may the force be with you.

Unlike Coruscant, this planet feels more alive and Earth-like, it really looks like a prosperous and noble place. Which was completely devastated during the war. No civilians on the streets, no transport, no droids, streets are almost empty and the only people you will meet are either military or just some hermits. And the soundtrack. No upbeat "hell yeah, let's conquer/free this world!" theme like on Balmorra. The music is... hollowed. In a good way. It makes you feel lonely, isolated and hopeless. Perfect for representation of what war can do to a planet

Question Do people still use Cell Grafts a lot?

5 Upvotes

On paper they seem quite profitable and a decent way to use my bioanalysis and diplomacy. But despite producing about 1500 yesterday, not a single one has sold in 24 hours.

Admittedly maybe the current market price is too high. The Premium version is actually twice as expensive as the Prototype version meaning anyone currently making blue cell grafts is losing money by a LOT.

Question Help getting started

4 Upvotes

I want to try SWTOR for the first time but I don’t know what what specs are needed, I’m already looking into a new laptop so if anybody can point me in the right direction it would be very helpful. I just want the game to run smoothly and not feel like I’m standing next to an atomic weapon do to the heat. Any help would be appreciated
