    There's really no excuse, their F2P game is shit. There are a lot of unlocks you can get as a 'preferred' player or whatever they call non-subscribers who bought something in the past, but it's still pretty limited and unnecessarily complicated. Just play the game as a subscriber, it is actually...

    That's mostly what I hated about the consular story: stupid vague mystical jedi prophecy and mumbo jumbo. It's also probably the single worst storyline to go counter-alignment on. Oh and Trooper story was ridiculous. General Garza is a completely incompetent, power hungry, egotistical...

    Oh snap, October flew by quicker than I thought. Got a 30 Sith Warrior as my last class to do. Hope I can finish him by tomorrow. 'Something similar' turned out to be a MUCH smaller boost (1.75x is what I've heard) to both class and planet story quests, and there's plenty of bear asses to...

    The key to fast leveling is mainly the XP potion and heirloom gear. Bonus objectives are good xp, but if you just fly from one to the next you'll spend most of your time traveling. Besides, you need to do some quests to unlock all the bonus objectives. Mix in regular quests on your way to bonus...

    Of course it's because of its age, are you fucking kidding? It's nearly 11 years old. I won't say their design choices are perfect or that they couldn't have had a few more subs hang on if they did things differently, but it's a goddamn miracle they still have as many as they do. I think that...

    Nope. It's just plain going away. The expansion will boost class and planet quest xp by 75%, the intention being you have 2 simultaneous chains going at the same time (class + planet) to cover your leveling needs, no side quests or bonus series needed. Finish your class quests now if you want...

    Does 'Wushu' translate roughly into 'Aiming to miss'? It's kinda impressive, I guess. I mean the speed they move at is pretty fast but otherwise it's just a choreographed dance. When you watch the slow-mo portion, it has the opposite intended effect of making it more amazing by showing all of...

    Use the boosts BEFORE 55. They get multiplied by the 12x bonus. After you hit 55 you'll only be getting ~50k xp from quests, so you'll only get 12.5k bonus. The best time to use them is on Makeb, where you'll be getting 500-600k per quest, but you'll have way more than enough to last all of...

    The middle parts of the smuggler storyline were good but the beginning and end left a shitty taste in my mouth. Corso Riggs is a whiny, white-knighting douchebag.

    Yeah nothing really looks that different, except enemy death animations are often choppy for no reason now. Haven't tried the new shadows, they would tank my framerate on anything higher than low before. Edit: Shadows on high are much easier on the fps now. With everything on ultra I can stay...

    Not saying your decision was wrong, but that probably speaks more to you being overgeared for LFR than the tank being undergeared. It's not like you can really gear for stamina these days; it's all about ilvl. The only real itemization choice you get besides sidegrades are trinkets, and bonus...

    I can only speak for myself, but I hated it for much different reasons. 1) Story. We go from literally stopping the Titans from destroying all life on the planet, to "Let's go to the Ren Fair and play shitty games!" Garrosh and Wrynn even got sucked into the bullshit and started quarreling...

    Yes you would just be doing class quests, but you can join your party member's class instance as long as you aren't the same class as him. It'd be a bit weird jumping around different places because different classes don't always get quests in the same areas, but it'd still be fun to duo, plus...

    Dungeons and raids are fine the way they are. Maybe they could bring back the sprawling BRD style dungeons, but not as a replacement for the current style of dungeon. Make it non-instanced and put Timeless Isle events and rares in it, but with a clear, main progression to an end point instead of...

    I wouldn't mind it if the leveling game was any fun. Most quests are just "walk down linear hallway with 25 packs of 4-6 weak mobs spread just far enough so you can't aoe a fucking thing." The occasional solo yellow star mob is such a breath of fresh air, but they're usually stuck in corners and...

    It was Babylon 5 from the start. He created and wanted control of all the backstory and universe of the show. He had pretty much the entire outline of the 5 season plot ready when he pitched it to Paramount. Only major rewrites were to replace characters due to actors leaving, and he condensed...

    People complained about them, but if there were traditional daily quest hubs they probably would have held on to subs a bit longer. And it wouldn't hurt if there was a reason to run heroic dungeons repeatedly, i.e. bring back badges.

    I did the original Loremaster back in Wotlk when I was bored in between raid nights. I basically did the new version after Cataclysm though. It's probably better just to make a new character to keep things interesting. You don't need to do the whole thing on one toon, just a whole zone on any...

    My favorite part of them taking out the badge system is how they said they were going to replace it with more gold rewards, such that doing dungeons was going to be (one of) the best ways to make money at end game. "Hey guys I told them they'd get a lot of gold for dungeons. How much should...

    How does an expansion announcement change anything? Current tier is going to be the only content for a while. Your gear will be obsolete when the expansion hits.

    Aviana's Feather solves both those problems. Granted if a mount named spawns in an area that happens to be one of the dailies, it's not gonna last very long. But you can't expect to get instant access to all rares across the zone. They really need to hurry up with the damn flying though. And...

    Who knows, they might have sense enough to broaden transmog options a bit. Considering the theory is all artifacts, even dual-wielded ones, will be a single item slot, it shouldn't be too hard to transmog it to any equippable MH or 2H. They have loosened up restrictions in the past regarding...

    From their website: I don't think their idea of enhancing the class stories is skipping them. I guess they haven't said any more about it yet. My guess is either a permanent xp boost to class missions for all players, or some kind of bolster system like you get on Makeb and solo mode flashpoints.

    Can you clarify this? Is the 12x boost for subscribers only until Oct 19, and available to all free players at the expansion? Or do they have another system to make leveling faster? They said they are making all the original class questlines more streamlined and faster, but I haven't been able...
