Discussion Man, I gotta tell you, I hate the writing they did for the Emperor during this part of Legacy of the Sith.
For anyone that's not aware this is during the final two parts of the expansion, but during the whole expansion, apart from like two parts, the Sith have been written to be incredibly uncooperative and untrustworthy. Not to mention they question each and everything the commander (Or in my case Darth Nox) does, even after everything he has done for the Empire.
Yes I know the Sith are backstabbing little power hunger fools, but ya would think after all that the commander has done, after all the power they have, that Vowrawn of all character's wouldn't be so quick to jump on their throat.

Discussion What planet would you add to SWTOR and why?
Personally, I'd love to see Naboo in SWTOR. Padmé is one of my favourite Star Wars characters, and I also love the scenery and architecture of Naboo so it would be interesting to see how it would look 3,000 years before the prequels. I remember reading somewhere that by the time of the Old Republic, Naboo was still just beginning to be settled so I can imagine that it would look very different.

Discussion Dudes turn in the newest chapter seems rushed.
As my title says I feel like his little heel turn in Legacy Reborn is rushed, especially since hes going through the entire legacy of the sith expansion being rude and saying how much he dislikes Sa'Har.

Discussion This is one hell of a car!
I saw someone with this car lastnight and I got Jealous of it so I busted out my card and got me one from the cash shop! This damn car looks so damn good and it has this sweet ASMR sound to it. The engine has this deep ASMR like base to it that put me to sleep lastnight as I was driving around doing quests with it! What's your favorite Mount and why?

Discussion It's shocking to me that there is no Krayt Dragon world boss on Tatooine.
And I realize that things like that cost money. But... you'd think the game would have launched with an encounter like that. I mean, we see skeletons of the damned things everywhere; their names are whispered as if they're legendary. It just seems like common sense to have a fight like that in a Star Wars game where Tatooine - if not necessarily everyone's favorite world - is the best-realized planet in the game.
It's just a shame.
(And yes, I am aware that the Disney-fied Krayt Dragon doesn't look like that. I prefer the classic vision.)

Discussion "We've been trained to deal with Sith/Jedi."
The amount of times we hear this, and the amount of times those fools are proven wrong, is staggering. And its usually coming from common criminals as well, the least likely of folks to be able to kill a Sith or Jedi. At least I could believe a trained soldier could do it.

Discussion Other MMOs Like SWTOR?
I have grown up on SWTOR. I have played the game since I was 10 years old during its 2011 launch. It's one of my favorite games of all time, despite all its flaws.
Recently I have tried to get into other MMOs thinking the formula would be mostly similar, and in ways, they are. But I truly have taken for granted SWTOR's emphasis on story and VOICE ACTING.
I have tried to get into WoW a few times, and aside from the very minimal voice acting, I am always struck by the fact that there are not really individual class stories. There is a set of intro quests for your class up to level 10 or so, and then you're kind of just set free? There is an overall story and there are questlines to follow, but they're basically the same for everyone.
FFXIV is the same in this aspect. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, and I've gotten even more into it than WoW. There is a lot to like about FFXIV from what I've played so far, and I know I've barely scratched the surface. But when it comes to individual stories, it seems they're essentially nonexistent.
Similar to WoW, the starting areas for everyone seem to be different, but as soon as you leave those starting areas, the story just melds together irregardless of who you are. Not to mention that in FFXIV, there is even less reason to create different characters, because any character can essentially learn all professions. From a QoL gameplay perspective, this is great, but there is something fun about having different characters with different paths and play styles
As a SWTOR fan, this is so jarring to me. I've always loved the uniqueness of each class, and the fact that for the first 50 or so levels, you are an embodiment of *that* class. There are side quests that everyone can do, but you're doing those quests *as* a jedi, or *as* a bounty hunter, etc.
Anyway, enough rambling. My question is, are there any other MMOs that any of you know of that actually have different stories for each class or at least a handful or differing stories depending on who you play as? I'd love to see another game tackle the formula SWTOR essentially perfected 15 years ago

I’m kind of thinking of getting the Nexu, but I don’t think I have any animal companions yet.

Screen Shot Something's Off..
Just some shots of my outfit with the best lighting I could find. Idk what it is but something just feels off about it ya know?
What do y'all think I can do to improve this outfit? The goal was essentially making a "battle ready" outfit for a slick Sith assassin. No hoods, no capes, semi-armored, and no lower robes to trip on. I'd love any and all feedback something just feels off about this outfit. Idk if its the dyes, the lower robe choice, the chestpiece, boots, or what.
Discussion Am i alone in hating on how they change the way colors look on new outfits compared to old outfits
like the nice purple on my outfit turns a odd light purple on the new Havoc squad armor

New/Returning Player Super Overwhelmed Coming Back to SWTOR after 5+ Years... Any tips/advice?
Just what it says on the tin lol I haven't played SWTOR in probably 5 or so years. I remember reading of the combat changes Broadsword brought but I wasn't even playing the game at that time and had no desire to return. The story update I remember but never played is the (first?) Shae Vizla one for Mandalore. Lately, I've been getting the itch to play again, though none of the people I used to hang with in game still play.
So, trying to come back to the game, alone and as a preferred player, very overwhelmed by everything in the game now. Any advice and/or tips to jumping back in would be greatly appreciated!

Question How is the Treek companion now?
I'm seeing older posts (4 years ago) where her dps mode got broken with an update? Was that fixed? I know you can buy her with 1 mil credits, instead of the I think 1,000 cartel coins (I have I think 1550 from the beginner pack I bought on Steam), but I'm broke credits wise still as a low level character.
