    Ohh right, I completely forgot about the Dread Guard and Hazmet sets. Derp.

    Be nice if we did get more new models, so much feels like recolors.

    With the money they're raking in hopefully they put a bit more back into the game.

    Pity they fired their CG team, be nice to see something new on that end.

    Either recolors, extra bits or recolors+extra bits.

    I too would like a completely new set. Just have no idea what they would look like.

    Maybe some parachute pants...

    And a vest. No shirt, just a vest.

    You know.... I was also going to suggest a fez headgear as well, but figured I should ease people into it first with the MC Hammer look.

    As silly as they are, I am in love with the football sets. I have to get at least one pub and one imp in full team gear or I will die.

    Knowing that its supposed to me a football set makes me like it more.

    I still think the pistol is a little, ah, bulbousy.

  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    Can someone help me out with a Phantom Helmet (non-Classic)?
    It's all I need to complete the set.

    I'm willing to pay in installments, somehow since I'm limited to only 350K credits and preferred instead of subbed.

    They can trade hard credits

    My brother (preferred) trades his excess credits to my smuggler (fitting, huh?) every time we play. And then I trade them back to him when he needs it.

    They can't mail credits, though, I think.

    Yeah, I can mail one item at a time, and it'll take coordination via the GTN to repay, but I'm willing to do so.

    so, how does dyeing armor work? Is it just palette swaps with a selection of colors?

    it sucks is how.

    you get dye modules which are a certain color combination, and those dye modules are inserted into armor like mods. this would be fine, except most of the color combos are terrible right now and the ones that aren't cost like 1mil+ credits for a one time use item.

    Are you the magic man?
    Cambiata
  • korodullinkorodullin What. SCRegistered User regular
    Each piece of gear has two colors comprising its palette: primary and secondary. Dyes can either modify the primary color, the secondary color, or both. However, there's only one dye slot for a dye module, so you have to choose.

    Artificers can create a set of primary or secondary dyes, and a small smattering of primary+secondary. Most of the Artifice-made dyes are kind of bland (purple, green, grey, brown...), and any really interesting ones they can make are available only through rep grinding; most of those kind of suck too.

    All the other dyes? Cartel packs or security key/CE vendors.

    Dulfy has a thing showing off all the colors.

    No. Black is only available as one part of a primary+secondary set, and with the exception of Red/Black and Blue/Black, anything Black is extremely expensive due to rarity.

    If you unlock an emote on one toon, you can unlock it for all of them through the collections window, for a one-time fee. For emotes it's usually a smallish cost like 60 cartel coins.

    Edit: Eh, I just found out some of the more rare emotes cost 240 coins to unlock account wide. Blah.

    Man, I played hard all morning. Finished most of the Corellia quests. Geared up my t-7 droid, flew to the Empire home world, bathed let's of sith and then........ had to log off start work :(

    I'm sometimes grumpy and random, feel free to overlook the strange man in the corner.

    Do they give you new (rank 10) crafting material in the boxes or are we still getting molecular stabilizers and stuff (rank 6)?


    Also, Im super sad that the barrels in knives can only be put in knives and not offhands thus ensuring theres no way for me to transfer it to my armstech guy to learn the pattern. Of course I learn this after spending 140 ultimate coms and ripping out the barrel so I cant get them back.

    The new packs, Archon (?), give rank 9 mats. All the others still give rank 6.

    Yeah I noticed the problem with nonstandard main hands and off hands on the PTS. I wonder how many Sentinels discarded their special weapons to go back to boring light sabers because the top level gear won't allow for anything else. :/ Since Bioware is selling things like Gammorean axes, you'd think they'd be sensitive to the problem.

    I think it's based on what pack/set the item is from. Second group of cartel packs is currently 60 while the first set (that's been discontinued) is 240. The Balmorran hand cannons are 60 for me right now, while the black nubula is 240.

    EDIT: Also, someone managed to post a Phantom Helmet for under 350K and I managed to do some trading with myself to snag it.

    Also, sending 50+ things to a new character is a bitch when you can only do it one item at a time.

    I put my Jedi Knight on hold for a bit after finishing Act 2 because he was getting a bit dull.

    Which is why I gave my Commando his first real tryout on Coruscant today. Holy shit I'm an unstoppable death machine and in cutscenes I appear to have a personality which is cool too.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    I dpsd a flashpoint on my 49 merc today and the damage difference (between dps and healing spec) is insane - rail shot was hitting for like 400 more, death from above was hitting for 200 more per person per second, rapid shot was way better, shit was nice. I think my sniper is a more fun though.

    A thought I just had, I'm not about to pop a weekly pass so I can check personally, but with 2.0, did they expand the operations you can use the GF for, or is it still just SM EV/KP?

    You can queue for TFB and S&V at 55,hard mode versions too although I don't know of that's a bug (I'd you form a group set instance to hard mode and queue you'll be sent to the HM version and still get the extra coms).

    No EC? I've still got to down kephiss on my commando. Though I guess there's always sitting around in fleet LFG.

    They may have expanded it to include EC, I'd be kind of surprised if they didn't. Okay maybe not that surprised.

  • DivideByZeroDivideByZero Social Justice Blackguard Registered User regular
    Levels 50-54 can queue GF for EV, KP, and EC story mode.

    Level 55s can only queue for TFB and S&V story mode. If you have a mix of 55s and sub-55s in your premade group it won't let you queue for anything.

    Huh, he's there? I've only ever seen him pop up in my Knight's finale cutscene and at the beginning of Makeb.

    Of course, that's probably because I've never done the Alderaan bonus series because fuck Alderaan, seriously.

    Every time I start a new character I think I should give the bonus series a chance since I haven't played through one since Taris(beta)/Balmorra(first character), but I've stopped doing planet quests so...

    I think I may have done the Tatooine bonus series once...

    Also, despite having 125 members, my guild is 1 active account short of 10% extra XP :(

    Also also, the first boss of TFB NiM is easy. Second one not so much.

  • CormacCormac Registered User regular
    There are some ongoing threads on the SWTOR forums about the second boss being hugely overtuned. If we're able to put together a run which is now proving challenging due to some personality related issues we're going to switch the second boss to hard and then go back to nightmare. To be honest though I don't have much interest in going back to TFB again because it's more than worn out its welcome. Hardmode SnV is comfortably challenging and I'd much rather have completely new content than rehashed content with slightly different mechanics.

    Unfortunately we didnt get very many attempts in on the dread guards due to a power outage, but Ive heard some of the world first guilds saying its mathematically impossible and some guild is taking a lot of flack for skipping dread guards and downing Operator IX and I think Kephess. Im still not convinced its not doable.

    For some reason NiM TFB doesnt bother me, which I find especially odd since I hated NiM EC (fuck that place) but I do think releasing Nightmare Modes of already released flashpoints is stupid and shouldnt count as a new raid.

    That said I can make Skill Armoring 31s now so thats cool.

    Do you know if this is true for lower level FPs? That is, if a level 20 and a level 10 try to do the group finder together, they won't be able to queue?
