The final Quest
First of all, SO MUCH AWESOME. The leap of faith and omg T~T so cool. I went ahead and recorded the Imperial version. I think the Republic one was a little better due to not having the obvious ramp. The lack of a barrier has been in a few places (even with nothing to do) so it seemed more surprising there over the ramp off on the Imperial side.
We may try and do it on some of our other characters (as much as it will suck to get through some areas) and if we do get Miisha up there, I’ll probably record her going through it. And maybe Cellina too. You can see just how much I suck at their classes 😛
Regardless, I had lots of fun. I kind of wonder if anything else will happen considering this was supposed to be to win favor with the Gree. Makes me wonder if something may happen this weekend that wasn’t elaborated on, but who knows. We ended up giving to SIS/Imperials for each our characters–both with the reason of hoping to get some of the Gree technology for their side (or in Amidaia’s case, herself) over letting the Chevin’s do who knows what being a Crime Syndicate and all. Regardless, SO HAPPY FOR THE HAGNOFFARL! so cute.
…remind me to take a better picture later since it’s white and not purple.
Been debating on getting Cellina a bow-sniper thingy as she uses a Blaster Rifle….but they’re so ugly in comparison to the Sniper Rifles 🙁 If I got her one, maybe the Light Bowcaster or Kashyyk’s Legacy? Regardless, I already gave my boyfriend all my tokens so.
Besides that, there is another trailer up for upcoming stuff. Very excited~ Still debating on what I could have as a Cathar though… I honestly don’t have a clue. Maybe I’ll just hope I dislike the options.
Anyway, going back to event talk…my boyfriend wants close to 1,000 of them for everything he wants >_> So we’re probably going to try and get Miisha and his trooper up and also go box hunting later…may record the leveling (and my sucky playing of her) and box hunting later.
Edit: Better picture:
Event ends next week, Rifle-bow Craziness, + Gearing
So, the event ends next Tuesday. This doesn’t surprise me as it is a relatively short event with no repeating. However, some people are kind of annoyed and I sort of get that? I mean, in total, it would cost 811 Tokens of Enrichment to get EVERYTHING. Sure, I doubt someone would want everything (and you can take off 250 if you get lucky and get a Lobelot in a crate), but that’s still a lot…especially when you only get like 10% of that. Maybe more when the event finishes but still, that is a lot of crate hunting. While the vendor will be here a week after the event ends, I’m not sure if the crates will still linger around…
Anyway, a lot of people are pissed off about the Rifle-Bow as it only benefits a select few classes and companions. I…don’t really see the big deal? I mean, it makes sense a Shady Dealer on Nar Shaddaa would have stuff like that, in my opinion. Regardless, I decided to buy a Precision Bowcaster for Risha. I think it’d fit her.
In the meantime, with 1.4 so close, I’m panicking even more about gear 🙁 I wish I just had 3 million-5 million credits so I could get this over it.
A New Lead: Droid Racing
This is a fun and simple little quest…which isn’t exactly cheating considering each Droid teamed up against the other one anyway. On the otherhand, if there were no traps, the Gonk Droid would lose to begin with due to being much slower and on the outer edge. I adore Gonk droids though so…
MOVING ON… I was surprised to see a line even this early! Afterall, when I went and did yesterday’s quest, nobody was there. Finally, it hit me. This is the first quest limited to one group at a time where both factions will be doing it, thus, lines. I’m afraid of the one later when I show my boyfriend how to do it.
Regardless, it’s simpler than I expected (actually thought you’d get sent to a race track and need to hit the other racers or keep things off the Gonk Droid or something) and still kind of fun. Looking forward to tomorrow’s quest and will do this again later with Amidaia too~
Up to date on Both Sides
So, got it all done on the Imperial side and thankfully, unlike the Rakghoul Event, you do not need to do them in order so if you just get online Friday, you can do them all right then and there. Because of this, however, I see the event not lasting very long. The one thing that bothers me about the event, besides the chances with the crates, are the fact that once you do everything, the only way to get more Tokens are through those crates. The smallest you can get (if you did get all the pieces in each crate and no tokens) without getting tokens from crates is 85 Tokens. …And well, maybe you get more when you officially finish, but until that is confirmed… Regardless, that’s not much at all so the prices are pretty expensive.
Looking forward to the next part later. Would love to stay up for it, but need to get some rest. Not feeling well.
On the bright side, there was another cute line on the Imperial side too :3 (Unfortunately, screenshots weren’t working so I couldn’t take one -___-) Everyone can be so nice when they want to be~ …besides that, someone was bragging about having at least 10 million credits T___T I wish I was in that position ._.
Why I Love SWTOR
This. This is why.
How many times have you stood in a line in an MMO with other players to take turns during a limited time event? Exactly.
A relief
So, one of the awesomely awesome developers posted this:
Hi folks,
We wanted to inform you all that there is currently an issue with the missions A Lead, A New Lead, and Another Lead. The way the Chevin Event works is that players can find the first six items of the mission The Grand Acquisitions Race whenever at their leisure. The next three items will unlock on a daily basis for everyone, regardless of what step players are on in the main event quest. (item #7 unlocks today, item #8 tomorrow, and item #9 unlocks on Friday).
Players are currently running into an issue that when they complete the mission, A Lead (item #7), the UI marks Another Lead (item #9) as complete with no item given to the player.
DO NOT WORRY. These three missions are merely hints. You DO NOT need this mission to appear in your Mission Log in order to activate it. It will unlock on a daily basis as I outlined earlier.
To be clear, you can STILL play these missions even if they are marked as complete. You just have to wait for their specific daily unlock.
For your convenience, I have posted the text for each mission below:A Lead (Item #7 – Akar Kesh Meditation mask): A Sniffer droid is available to aid you in your search for the Akar Kesh Meditation mask, but is still undergoing programming. [unlocks today]
A New Lead (Item #8 – Black-and-Orange Sphere): Sapaaga the Hutt is refusing to speak to anyone at this time. Check back with the Hutt observation droid at the Lower Promenade on Nar Shaddaa later, when the Hutt’s string of losses may have made him more inclined to negotiate. [unlocks tomorrow]
Another Lead (Item #9 – Plasma-Sealed Jar): A Republic Slicing Droid is tapping into the Transportation Network Terminal in Shadowtown in Nar Shaddaa to locate information leading the Plasma-Sealed Jar. [unlocks Friday]
So, it’s just a glitch, but regardless, I’ll be okay! I should be able to finish. I’m so relieved. x-x Anyway, time to get my boyfriend up to speed and finish stuff up on our imperials!
In the meantime, I did look up the codexes and learned the titles:
1. Imperial side: Imperial Loyalist
2. Republic Side: SIS Freelancer
3. Chevins: Capable Sentient
I’m kind of leaning towards the Chevin one. I think the Republic one is kind of lame considering SIS Operative is a title you can get on Tatooine–a glitched title, but still a title you can get. Apparently this title was removed–not a glitch, regardless, I think it sounds better than SIS Freelancer… Imperial Loyalist isn’t bad, but none of my characters really are Imperial Loyalist? All my Imperial characters are neutral on the sides, if anything. I think it’s a nicer sounding title though.
I guess I’ll see how the story goes and pick which I think is better–after all, it’s one title only (because as expected, no repeatable quests).
A Lead Available
As expected, looks like a quest is available… so A New Lead and Another Lead will probably be available Tomorrow and the day after respectively.
…which means we really need to hurry up with our Imperial characters. We tried to get some done, but those crates are so tedious. Anyway, unfortunately, I camped on Nar Shaddaa so time to run to Coruscant real quick. I went and spent 20K on the Capital World Transport as it wasn’t too horribly priced and I figured it’d be useful for this event.
Apparently, the mask can also be gotten today due to a glitch X__x I think I’ll stay glitch-free, thanks. …even if the Hagnoffarl calls for me.
Regardless, I got to Coruscant and headed to the Justicar area to get to the Works as it’s closer to there than the actual Works area. This is a cute quest. More or less, you open the box for the repaired BD-R1 to pop out! You need to follow him to the mask. He wheels around and scans thing. At one point (and only one point–I actually expected it to be longer and more mobs but nope!), a mob will appear and BD-R1 will break down. You need to defeat the mob and repair him to continue the journey.
Then you just click the mask and that is it! You have finished for the day. Only catch is once again, only one group can do it at a time. 🙁 Thankfully, I managed to get mine done right away.
Unfortunately, I then noticed my “Another Lead” was missing. I do not have an extra item–I’m not sure how it glitched but I am completely having a heart attack. Sent a bug report and hope it gets fixed soon because otherwise, I will cry. T___T Anyway, shall end this here and get back to Nar Shaddaa later–have to go to work now ._.
Hagnoffarl spotted.
Saw 2 Imperial players with a Hagnoffarl minipet. Tried to ask them…but no response 🙁 gonna do some heavy duty searching.
Stressing quite a bit. Shall update this post with information.
Edit: Thanks to a nice person letting me know, apparently when you complete the race (there is currently a glitch that when you complete a certain space mission, the quest gets completed early), you receive the Hagnoffarl.
Phew.
…though, that makes me very suspicious about the whereabouts of the Lobelode.
LOBELOT GOTTEN! + 1.4
Unfortunately, I had no luck getting Lobelot from the crates. I ended up just buying it when I got close to 400 because not only could I afford it–but everything else I wanted too. I’m debating on the gun-bow-things, but I’d probably just give them to a companion.
But yes, the lovely Lobelot:
Moving on, 1.4 is scheduled for next month. I’m…kind of mixed–only because of all the EC HM drama and I feel kind of behind 🙁 Also a video of them showing off some stuff.
