    conversely, I couldn't bring myself to be dark imperial agent
    betraying homegirl two? fuck that

    also light side imp agent just wants the empire to function and fuck these space wizards and I appreciate that

    I think it's hilarious how clear the agent storyline makes it that without the Sith Sithing about and doing Sith things, the Empire would crush the Republic in a weekend

    First time I played thru the Agent story, I came out of it completely neutral. Not a light or dark side level. This time thru though, I have already hit Dark I at lvl 30 mainly because I have been killing a lot more people and trying to be more political when it comes to the Sith.

    I was a little skeptical that Dulfy's information would prove correct, but it turned out to be true: without an announcement, SWTOR started Rakghoul Resurgence this week.

    Rakghouls? That's like everyone's favoritest thing ever.

    Wait no, least favoritest.

    Yay unpreventable stuns!

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Must. Finish. Cheevos.

    Plus, I finally had enough reputation to buy all the mounts and pets, so I'm glad it's back.

    Another plus, the special vendor has some decorations for strongholds, too.

    I especially enjoy how I engage the enemy, so that I get a stun I can't break free from, while three more enemies spawn.
    Someone else lays down an AoE while I'm still stunned, and so they get all the kills, while I get ... stunned.
    Great move there Bioware.
    I guess it's no coincidence they were from a guild named Blacklisted.

    its just a gaym lol bacon

    Yea, i've resorted to playing a low level alt, is there anyway to get rid of this plague thing outside of buying a cure?

    Your choices for getting rid of it are 1) 1-time cure 2) Buy a relic that lets you apply infinite cures to the character wearing it (but you can take the relic off after applying it if you want. Though it could also be nice as a relic for lower level characters since it adds some endurance) 3) Wait 20 min for the plague to kill you, then rez plague-free.

    If you do wait 20 minutes for the plague to kill you, make sure you infect other people when you do it. There's a hidden daily quest to infect 3 people. The rewards are a cylinder of Rakghoul DNA, which is pretty nice (the other dailies only give you a total of 3 of them).

    Is this the original Rakghoul event that gave us black-green color crystals?

    It's not exactly like the original. The first one never repeated, and the stuff you could get from the original you can no longer get in game.

    Rakghoul resurgence is a new, repeatable event that's based on the original but has it's own rewards different from the original. Green crystals yes, but I don't think Green and black. You'd have to check the Jawa vendor to be sure.

    The Jawa vendor in the tunnels sells Green and Black crystals in exchange for Rakghoul cylinders. Said vendor goes away when the event ends.

    I still love the background dialogue in this game.

    In the Imperial cantina on Tatooine, three soldiers are sitting at a table:

    [Male] Soldier1: "Come on, don't be shy! Get up there!"
    [Female] Soldier: "I'm fine down here, thank you."
    [Male] Soldier 1: "Aw, don't be like that. You're one of us now! It's a squad tradition!"
    [Female] Soldier: "You're saying you've all cavorted around on stage like a bunch of loons?"
    [Male] Soldier 2: "If we say yes, will you do it?"
    [Female] Soldier: "No, but it'll make an interesting report to the commander."

    You go, girl.

    I was really, really hoping that the dark side option would have been to kill Tyresius and thaw out his clone for a companion. Instead you get three different options for saying "Yes this is a great plan I am all for it!"

    I also love the comments your companions make when you enter certain areas of the game. Sometimes they're exactly what you expect, sometimes they surprise you and give the character a little more depth.

    e.g., Khem Val entering the Imperial Tatooine is Mos Ila:

    "I have an excellent sabacc face. That was a joke. I hate sabacc."

    (It annoys me that they sometimes do so within an instance that's not repeatable, though, so if you want to see them all you need to play the game as many as seven times--eight with a Sith Warrior--depending on when in the game they occur.)

    Mako: "I know you love what you do, but get your head checked. Seriously."

    Better retort would have been: "Don't worry Mako, I'm sure regardless of what happens today, Alderaan will still look pretty and peaceful thousands of years from now."

    For the first person who signs up using your referral code, you get the Kurtob Alliance mount. This mount gives you 110% speed at speeder piloting 1. It is one of the most useful items in the game.

    At 2 friend referrals and above, you get free pets and cartel coins.

    But that first referral is where the gold is.

    Edit: Note that once you get that referral, every new character gets the mount as soon as you roll them. Across every server.

    And the person who uses the referral code gets a free character transfer. That alone is otherwise something like $15.

    edit: I think you might also get a free friends bundle with every character moving forward that unlocks a bunch of stuff you would otherwise have to either subscribe for or unlock for your account.

    But I'm not sure.
