Wish I knew that sooner. Oh well I got the Jedi Knight armor I wanted most anyway. IF they don't fix this soon I may waste some Cartel Coins on a token and grab the rest.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Great tip, thanks for that!
Only bad news is that the outfits change depending on if you're empire or republic. I really wanted the armored trooper look on my jugg, but it's not to be.

The Section X rep gear looks like trooper armor. Need Champion Rep but it looks the same emp/republic. Just find a dye mode color you like and it can look real nice.

It only works with the free 60 you got with the expansion. Don't delete a character you make with a bought token or you'll be out the token and the character.
I remember there being one on the personal starship. Seems like I got it before I had finished my class quest, and didn't know what it was. I think the communication was like "Good job doing the spoiler spoiler spoiler" that I hadn't done yet.

I feel like such a sucker.... my house is Star Wars crazy and you guys keep posting so I downloaded the game. Should you just start a new character or keep a previous max level character? Do we have a group on a particular server playing casually? I think I may subscribe for a month and see what happens? I vote we make this the MMO of the Month for November

Start over. Seriously, there's been enough changes it's better to just ease yourself back into it than try to figure it all out and pick up where you last left off. Caveat: If you last played during Shadow of Revan you should be good to go. Anything before that and the changes are significant enough to be intimidating.

Thanks.. I don't believe my character made it to any type of expansions or major content releases. (I don't how they've handled it over the years) I'll definitely start over. Appreciate it!
Yeah I did most everything in launch and I have NFI what is going on now. No clue how to play my BH. I need to start from scratch.
Time to figure out exactly what I need to purchase in the cartel market to optimize my gameplay.

ok so having completed the 9 chapters and built my alliance (except lokin, waiting on rakghoul event obv), I realize now why they added level sync.
Earlier reports are right, so far this expansion is only about 8 hours of story content. The real time sink is the crates for influence for the 4 alliance specialists, which are rewarded from all of the heroic 2+ quests on every planet. So basically they overpowered companions so that everyone can solo every heroic 2+ mission they've ever created, and made doing that the primary method of advancement (for story/casual players). Crates give influence/crystals/companion gifts, ie everything you need to get 216/220 gear and lvl 50 companions
luckily with the mission terminal you can just grab entire planets worth of heroic quests, teleport to the entrance for every quest, then use N teleport to either ship droid to be near the mission terminal to grab the next planet's and repeat.

Note with the account wide cargo bay/inventory unlocks: They do it for every character currently on the account. To maximize, you need to create a shitload of characters (whatever your cap is. Mine is 8 as a freemium) and -then- buy the unlocks. If you are subbing, use credits because credits become hilariously easy to earn later on. The single best freemium purchase is the Artifact gear account unlock, because it lets you use -everything- as opposed to being locked out of random flashpoint/operation drops. The rest is QoL stuff for the most part, but I'd say inventory and Artifact gear unlocks are the first two you should pick up.

Whoa, nevermind then! I vaguely remember purchasing one and then still having zero inventory increases on new characters, but this was easily right around the implementation of the f2p model. Do the account cargo bay increases also keep even with new characters?

There are 2 different flavors of the cargo bay and inventory unlocks: account wide and individual character. The account wide ones are more expensive in Cartel Coins and definitely more expensive on the auction house unless the seller isn't bright.

They've also used scaling to bring back every fp/op the game has ever had and made them all relevant. They'll never need a progression server, at least.
Tuning is all over the place of course - group bosses are mostly limp but trash can melt face. And you definitely want to read over the duffy guides before jumping into a raid. There will be enough clueless idiots that you can't just skate by because someone has to do the mechanics, and sadly enough it's probably going to have to be you.
I wouldn't place bets on many of the pugs I've met surviving LFR Durumu. But it's so much less stressful than WoW that it feels like taking a vacation.

This is where I am at now with my main. AFAIK there is nothing left for me to do on my main except grinding influence with companions and alliance specialists. My companions are already OP and making everything in the game trivial so that is causing me to lose interest.
Has anyone tried solo FPs or soloing tactical FPs since KOTFE release? Just looking for something that is somewhat challenging and not faceroll easy.
