So I was seemingly swimming in credits up until level 40 but from then on I've been one broke ass bitch on my climb to 50. The speeder upgrade at 40 killed me, along with the upgrade and ridiculous repair costs. Seems so weird to me how the game almost punishes you when you hit the 40 mark. I'd sell mats but everyone seems to be doing it so the market is shit.

Anyone know any good crew skill combos now that slicer is nerfed?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #122 on:** January 17, 2012, 12:22:34 PM »

mounts always cost a lot, most of its lifespan wow mount and mount training were insane for the level. Im more concerned with training prices period.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #123 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:59:37 PM »

Training prices, repair costs, fucked up crafting economy.....

There's something very rotten in Denmark.

My slicing is at 400 and is basically worthless after the nerf. Tried synthweaving but that got me nowhere. Same with Artifice. Nothing really sells for that much on the GTM, especially when compared to the crafting costs. Wasting all this money on crafting items and RE for different mats only to wind up with items that will sell for thousands less than it took to go through the entire process. Maybe I'll just fuck everything and go Biochem. At least I can actually use those.

I don't know. I'm having a lot less fun with the game now that I'm slogging through the 40's. I realize that it's a MMO and supposed to be played for a long time but it's kind of ridiculous the way it's set up now. Bioware's going to have to reduce some of these expenses to make the game less of a freaking chore at higher levels.

doesnt HAVE to be played for a long time- you could always quit while youre ahead. Did that with Star Trek Online. What I played of that was a lot of fun. I quit before it was obvious it would soon stop being fun. Unfortunately unlike STO- TOR's story doesnt sum up quickly. Im basically playing a Jedi Consular and Imperial Agent- I play the game like a single player RPG and bounce between the two. Ill prolly drop the game in a few months which is fine.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #125 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:13:08 PM »

i'm at 45. didn't bother with the speeder training.

i usually float around 150-180k credits.

so i dunno, i'm not having any problems with money management.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #126 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:27:06 PM »

I earned 40k pretty quick, quest rewards are pretty nuts- its the training costs which can add up at not great times- at the end of the day though I do agree- the game has a busted economy

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #127 on:** January 18, 2012, 12:17:56 AM »

Tempted to just start over with a new character on a different server but I gotta get that 50, busted economy or not. Plus I really like my last companion.....

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #128 on:** January 18, 2012, 12:25:44 AM »

haha yeah, that looks awesome- 3rd consular companion is worthless imo, original is best so far

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #129 on:** January 22, 2012, 04:17:30 PM »

Currently at 48 and closing in on 49 fast. Corellia is pretty great. HUGE change of pace from the last dozen planets. Story is picking up big time. I just got this sick new ability called Orbital Strike which is GOD TIER.

50 HERE I COME

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #130 on:** January 22, 2012, 08:50:39 PM »

Got my 50 earlier today. The marauder skill set doesn't seem as interesting or as useful as some of the other classes out there. Sure I can lay down the damage but I'm totally dependent on getting in close and it seems like everyone has tons of kickback and freeze abilities negating a lot of what I can do. It seems kind of a useless class at the end.

And the medium armor in this game sucks ass. All the good stuff is either light or heavy. Medium is the Jan Brady of armor selection.

And save your money fistful. 50 is expensive. I had nearly 800k by the time I hit it and now I'm down to 200k after buying everything I needed.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #131 on:** January 22, 2012, 08:59:22 PM »

i just blew a bunch of money on a speeder

what kind of stuff?

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #132 on:** January 22, 2012, 09:06:49 PM »

Well let's see, the level 3 speeder upgrade was 300k and the Dark V special speeder was 100k. Then there's a bunch of abilities that all the sudden are able to be upgraded at level 50 as well. Obviously you can skip all that shit if you want but the trainer part is definitely useful.

I started selling armor parts on the GTN and have been able to make a lot money doing that. I finally found something on this lame ass server I'm on that people are willing to pay out of their asses to buy. That and some clown has been actually buying all my companion gifts I put up there. I'm gonna keep feeding him them until he realizes how fucking dumb he is.....hopefully not too soon though!

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #133 on:** January 22, 2012, 09:30:18 PM »

Now that I've reached end game stuff with this character, I'm kinda torn on whether or not to resub. I wouldnt mind doing the pvp grind but I'm on such a dead server.....really wish they'd merge some of these so it doesn't seem so quiet. I'm tempted to start all over with a new character on a different server but man....I hate giving up that progress. Wish there was a way to do a transfer. :/

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #134 on:** January 22, 2012, 09:41:46 PM »

when i reach 50 i'll probably start a Republic character so i can see the other side of content. i won't be touching PVP because i've heard horror stories from other IA Snipers and how they are worthless in PVP.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #135 on:** January 22, 2012, 10:44:32 PM »

Im bouncing between republic and imperial, my repub is 28, imperial is like 16

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #136 on:** January 24, 2012, 08:59:29 PM »

just hit 50.

so any quests i do now are pretty much wasted XP? that kinda sucks.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #137 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:59:33 PM »

Yep. Any questing now is for coin or legacy xp, which doesn't mean shit at the moment. Kinda sucks you don't get valor or something. I've got a whole planet left to finish my class questline but I won't get any xp for doing it. Makes the process incredibly dull and gives me zero incentive to play it.

The only thing left at 50 is the pvp grind, which in itself is irritating. Why even have mercenary commendations? You can't earn them. You have to buy them with warzone commendations. 30 for 10 of 'em. To get the good gear you need to buy champion bags that cost 800 merc and 800 warzone commendations. Why not just triple the cost instead of forcing us to go to a shop and exchange them for swtor's equivalent of space bucks? Seems kind of a worthless secondary currency that's in there for no good reason.

I was considering not resubing but looks like they charged me on Monday for another 3 months....

. Well, at least I've got my founder coin.

on the last leg of my class quest. it's fucking annoying. they throw a level 50 elite at me with three other enemies as well. i can see no way i would be able to take on this scenario on the first go. $:-\$

ManaByte · « **Reply #140 on:** January 28, 2012, 10:09:02 PM »

Most class quests are like that. Kill the two non-elite mobs, let the elite kill you, res on the spot to kill the elite with full health.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #141 on:** January 29, 2012, 11:14:09 AM »

in this case there were about 5 other enemies each other 4k health so i would have had to die and respawn about 2 times. so instead i just died then walked by them in stealth

now i'm done with my character and on ilum. flagged for pvp... with quests that are meaningless. this is the first time i've ever hit the level cap in an mmo....

Last patch killed the game for anyone with AMD cards. It overheats the card causing your PC to shut down. Does it on the last five driver releases. People are screaming on the forums and BioWare isn't really responding to anything about it.

lol now there are people with Nvidia cards claiming the last patch is actually frying the cards like SC2 did early on.

Anybody else playing this right now? Because I am. So, far I really like it, since it's basically a singleplayer RPG with MMO tacked on, thanks to tons of cutscenes and letting me be awesomely bad all the time during missions that sometimes almost feel like real RPG missions. I would love it more without the MMO stuff though, because honestly, I hate MMOs. But I'll keep playing this anyway.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #154 on:** August 29, 2012, 08:35:17 PM »

I'm playing it as well. It's pretty decent. I do have to wonder why they made this an mmo. As an mmo it basically feels like a way easier WoW and the mmo part basically amounts to "oh you see people on the field". I mean that's pretty much it. Most of the group stuff is instanced, so I mean it basically feels like a IDK a Diablo game.

Also I feel like the World Design is terrible. Dosen't really feel like an online world like WoW did to me.
