What do the tier sets look like?

soft serve ice cream?

The 1.15 patch I think it is today, the pvp gains upgrate are great.

The 1.2 changes announced yesterday sound pretty huge -- and slated for release next month. Kind of has me reconsidering my cancelled subscription. It expires later this month. The legacy changes, in particular, sound interesting.

3000 valor per wz? Yes please.

Still forever away from Battlemaster, I did however go from 53 to 55 in about 3 hours.

so... thoughts on 1.2?

What I did this weekend:

I see you spent a nice day out with the family.

They just gave me 30 free days for canceling my account.

What's sad is that much of the player base can see this happen before it does, but the dev's don't. We just talked about this a few weeks ago and recently again. This won't change till they add more to do. Players don't want to just have access to daily quests > money > to raid. Players constantly want to have things to farm and things to do. I think the classes in this game are or at least before this patch were a lot of fun. Sad.

Anyway we kinda moved on from this game a month ago. What's next? D3 > Pandas?

Agreed. SWtoR is a good game; I liked it. But as one of the commenters said, years of WoW + Rift just left me (and a lot of people, I think) burnt out on that kind of game play. I think the WoW-styled MMO has been done to death. Nobody will displace WoW at this point. Any new MMOs need to offer a new, distinctive gameplay style. SWtoR kinda tried that with the immersive story-driven leveling experience, but as everyone is now finding out, they didn't carry that through in the end-game. Tacking on WoW-style raids won't work. They had a good idea for the game, and they either didn't follow through, or they got pressured into cloning WoW halfway through. Sad indeed.

I think MoP will be a great expansion. I don't know if I'll personally play it much, but for those people still into the WoW-style MMO experience, it'll bring a lot of exciting additions to keep its lead over every other MMO. I won't be surprised to see SWtoR's activity drop off a cliff when it's released.

My future is with D3.

Well TERA open beta starts tomorrow afternoon, if you want someone trying to do something different there ya go. Actually the more and more I look at it the more I think that's where I'll end up till we see what Blizzard is doing with Titan.

Tera pre order or whatever opened today. Looks decent, reminds me of Rift in a way, but I do like the combat more then any mmo so far.

So I've been playing SWtoR again, mostly because it's a really single-player friendly mmo. Perfect for my schedule and interests lately. I'm pretty much only gaming on the weekends these days. I loved the class story of the Trooper the first time I played it a year ago, and just finished the Agent storyline tonight. Really well done. After some reading online afterwards, I'm amazed at how many different ways it could've ended depending on my choices throughout the game.

Gron, you said you were still playing it nowadays. Where are you at; what are you doing? I'm on Harbinger. Almost 55 on my agent and not quite sure what I'll do next. Maybe check out the new raids, or maybe check out a new class. Been leaning towards Jedi Knight or Bounty Hunter; tank in either case.

I am on Harbringer as well. I have a ton of alts as you probably guessed. I have been recently playing a Jedi Sentinel most recently. I have Max levels on both Republic and Empire side. I have a bounty hunter and an agent at lower levels that i intend to play at some point.

My characters are:

Empire:
55 Juggernaut
55 Marauder
52 Assassin
20 Operative
15 Power Tech

Republic
55 Guardian
50 Sentinel
50 Gunslinger
42 Trooper
3 Sage

I like tanking on the Juggernaut/Guardian but only the Juggernaut is set up to tank. As since i solo most of the time i dps most of the time and i enjoy both the Assassin and Marauder/Sentinel the most.

This game is fun to play leveling so i have been trying to level all the classes i didn't get to the first round but i think i will always like light saber classes the most due to it being Star Wars.

I bounce around quite a bit between characters so send me your names and i can add them or i might update this later and add my names next to the classes.

What's been your favorite storyline so far?

Honestly i have like them all. The Consular has been my least favorite. The Smuggler was the most fun. The Knight and Warrior felt very Star Wars and were both very good. The Inquisitor was good. I have not gotten very far on the Agent or Bounty Hunter but both of those are quite entertaining as well. I was really enjoying the trooper's story as well.

This will probably sound silly but i enjoy the each story differently depending on my mood. When i am feeling righteous i will play a knight. When i am feeling a little more sinister i will play the Sith Warrior. When i am feeling indifferent i like to play the agent or bounty hunter. Since i was a Marine relating to the Trooper's story is easy when i am feeling nostalgic. When i am a feeling like a smart-ass playing the Smuggler's story fits.

It is really hard to nail down which one i like best, so the best thing i can do is which one i liked least and that was the Consular and even that was decent.

Finished my Agent. Chapter 3 wasn't as good as 1 and 2, but good story overall.

Is the Makeb storyline different for each class? I didn't think it was all that great on my Republic/Trooper, but rather enjoyed the Empire/Agent story.

No the story is the same, i have only done it once on each faction. I have no desire to do it again. Let me know what you play most as i am bouncing back between Juggernaut and Sentinel/Trooper.

Star fighter is a lot of fun!!

Cool, I'm hoping to have some time to check it out this weekend. I actually enjoy pvp in swtor.

Over the holidays I leveled a Jedi Shadow. You were right about the story -- pretty mediocre. I'm spacebarring through even the class quests at this point (chapter 3). I'm loving the playstyle though. I spent most of my leveling time doing flashpoints, and tanking most of them. Pretty fun.

I like the shadow dps but i feel the tanking has too many buttons to manage. The star fighter is awesome, takes a tad getting used to but is a blast. I am enjoying being a sniper in a gunship!

I missed out on the Double XP weekend, i only got to play a very little bit. When not on my Knight i am trying to level a bounty hunter.

Knight (which i am usually on) is named Jorda'nal

If you are not in a guild i am in an ok one right now if you need the bonus to rep and xp.

So yeah, starfighter is pretty fun. Took me a few matches before I learned about the spacebar and charging up the railgun. =P

I wish your ships were shared between your republic and imperial characters though. I don't see any point in redoing all the ship upgrades/unlocks on different characters.

My Shadow's name is Seikyou, btw.

Have you logged into SWTOR lately, Gron? The new Strongholds (housing) is really pretty cool. Not quite as flexible as Wildstar (e.g you can't resize decorations), but there's a lot of items to collect and the housing environments are really nice. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet.

New xpac announced today:

http://www.swtor.com/shadow-of-revan

I realize nobody is probably playing this anymore, but if you've been thinking about it, now is actually a pretty good time. If you pre-order the upcoming xpac ($20, release date Dec 9), you get the previous xpac free as well as the new Class XP Boost which lets you level from 1-55 doing just your class missions -- effectively a full level per mission.

This makes me happy since I've always wanted to play the other classes for their storylines, but never wanted to grind through all the other questing required.

I might re sub at some point. It was a decent game, but as with most MMORPGs if you are not in a active guild at end level, interest is lost after a few weeks.

For sure. My interest was always slightly there since the class storylines were always pretty good and I never got through them all. And now with housing and dungeon/raid finders (with easy storymodes) I think there's plenty there for a casual player to experience without the need of a guild.

The upcoming expansion actually looks pretty interesting. Sounds like major changes coming. Might need to revisit SWTOR. Haven't played the last couple patches worth of story.

Some interesting speculation in the comments:

I know i am that is for sure. I am re upping my sub here soon to start playing again, finishing up the Agent and creating another Sorc.

Sounds like some really great changes to flashpoints and operations to keep them relevant regardless of level:

I really liked how FFXIV level-sync'd you when entering low-level dungeons, but SWTOR seems to be taking it a step further by providing level-appropriate loot too. And the solo mode versions of instances sounds pretty neat too. This is the kind of stuff WoW should've been doing years ago. Now they're just getting left in the dust by more innovative teams.

I know there probably isn't anyone still playing MMOs these days (except maybe Gron). You're all busy getting married, having kids, playing shuffleboard with the other members of your assisted living community, etc. But...

The next xpac for SWTOR looks pretty great. They're moving the whole leveling process to be a lot more focused on the core class stories. No more filler quests. Sweeping changes/improvements to crafting, gathering, companions, itemization -- basically everything in the game. Lots of quality of life improvements too. The whole community seems really excited about it all.

Final Fantasy and SWTOR seem to be really killing it lately on the MMO front.

Good to see some people still playing or trying. Few of us are still playing PoE and other things. Seems so hard to find time.

As mentioned i am still around! I only play Diablo and SWTOR now. I am waiting for the XP to dive more into SWTOR. It seems more stable and smoother graphically since they did the improvement patch.
