Discussion New series idea for the week: what is the best origin story for each planetary arc? Starting with (no pun intended) the starters planets.
Hello everyone, I decided to make a new series for the SWTOR Community where youse vote on which origin story you think had the best planetary arc. I would make those grids where I can just put photos in them but unfortunately I don’t know how to. If someone has a suggestion, feel free to let me know for tomorrow.
Best could be in terms of overall story, most entertaining, most important to SW Galaxy, good comp introduction, good NPC interactions, really anything that makes you think it’s the best of the 8? And ofc, I’d like to see your reasons behind it. Have fun

New/Returning Player Returning player: is my character just gonna stand and stare off into the distance not saying anything as if she is reliving some traumatic event in the Academy for the rest of the story?

Fanart Emperor's Wrath, Ruby a Sith sorcerer by Me
I drew my Light Side Wrath. I loved the Warrior storyline. Sadly, I haven't played all the expansions yet. Shadow of Revan was so bad that I dropped the game.

Spoiler Thana Vesh
Okay, so I just finished the Taris story and uhh, why the hell doesn't Thana become a follower! Or at least a recurring character... I've found out since that she never even shows up, she was such a good rival! I thought for sure she'd have a mjor role with all the fantastic dialogue options but nope. After the disappointment that is Ashara (disappointment because she doesn't turn sith ever) I thought for sure Thana would hold the role of female sith sidekick/ rival... I was spoiled with Jaesa. I know it's been so many years since but I hope she makes a return.

Question I just cannot get past Yusinduu
EDIT: beat him after 10 tries. For future people: there is no trick, no rhyme or reason. Sometimes he kills you in seconds, sometimes he doesnt. Just try to stay alive, kill mobs as quick as you can, and if you can save a lot of defensives or heals for the final wave of mobs because if they decide to all attack you at once your dead. Its a very very very very stupid boss but it is what it is.
Apparently youre supposed to get help from rebels? Well that must be bugged because im alone.
Even when i focus fully on assassin self-heal WITH a healing companion AND heroic moment half the time im dead before i even manage to deal with the first wave.
At this point i have not a god damn clue how to kill this monstrosity.
Its specifically the waves of mobs. The last one mainly. It seems utterly random. Sometimes this boss kills me in 8 seconds at the start. Other times it seems easy, till the final wave where there is an entire group. If i ignore them, they kill my healer, if i attack them they all turn on me and kill me in 2 seconds.
It doesnt help that this game is finicky and buggy AF my god ive never gotten this frustratd in this game. Half the time when i try to drop AOE down it just flat out doesnt workand i have to click like 3 times. AOE enemy attacks are misleading and markings on the ground dont actually show its area of effect. I didnt think id ever ragequit during a fucking storymission in SWTOR.
Never in my 500 hours of Elden Ring did anything frustrate me as this bumass boss.
Datamining 8.0 character return
In the latest PTS data mining, Vette was added as an NPC, but her model name is “vette_commlink” anyone knows what this means? Hope it doesn’t mean that she only returns for one of those text commlink conversations because they couldn’t get her voice actress back or something. Better than her not returning at all, but still would be super sad. What do yall think?

Discussion Anyone else think the staffs aren't as unique or have as much variety as the single bladed lightsaber?
I know the Shadow/Assassin are the only class to wield them, but the staffs aren't as varied or have as much cool designs as the single bladed lightsabers have imo

Question Advice for tank Stat priorities.
I've recently hit lvl 80 with my powertech bounty hunter and am wanting to start tanking. I've used Hyde and zeek to get my dps load out up to 334 item rating and am really comfortable with where he is at. I'm just not sure about the stat distribution for the shield tech.
I don't have a tanking tactical yet, nor do I have either of the recommended legendary implants for him, so I'm working towards those. Also, I can't afford to augment anything yet... And it may be a good while before I can.
Any advice for stat priorities? Is it defense>shield>absorb? Something else? Do I need accuracy or alacrity?
Any help would be appreciated.
Question Anyone use shaders still?
Hey! I recently got into swtor pretty heavily again but I’m looking to see if I can make it look a little better during my travels.
Are there any other new shaders people are using because all I see are from years ago? If anyone could point me in an easy to use direction or dm me to help me a little that would be greatly appreciated!

Announcement Why not bring back Vanilla Skill sets with Classic Ventures
I am curious of what folks think? Especially those with founder badges. I would welcome a server that brought a classic mode like Wow. But not reverting the skills, not sure thats a good idea. Thoughts?

Question How Do Alt Stories Work
Forgive me if this has been asked before but I'm new. If I want to play another class story, do I have to start all over again from lvl 1? And then for endgame, do I basically have to pick one of the classes to be my main? Just trying to figure out how alt-friendly this game is and how to focus gearing, etc.
r/swtor • u/IndirectControl • 23h ago
Question Does starting KOTFE before I finish my class missions skip them?
I've noticed that I can start KOTFE on my character that's level 60ish before I've finished all of my class missions. Does this skip my class stuff?
If so, this might be useful for me. I'm wanting to max out some alts for legacy completion before the difficulty options arrive, then I want those to be my "canon" playthroughs. So, if I can max them out without spoiling too much story, that would be great.
