THAT FIGHT WAS SO NOT FOR TWO PEOPLE 😐 So many things to hit and evil red circles…
I still love the Brontosaurus-bots though. I want to ride one. And have one as a pet.
Anyway, continuing with the imperial Makeb storyline…
Edit 1: YAY IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE SAVING MAKEB! No wonder the Republic side didn’t.
Edit 2: Doing binocular and seeder droid quests now! So many puzzles already @-@ SO EXCITING.
Well, I’m sure most of you have already seen this, but regardless, since I really love customization, I’m going to talk about it for a bit! 😛
So, the Appearance Kiosk! It’ll essentially be the barber and other stuff people have wanted, but better! Not only will it allow you to change your haircolor, but also your eye color and entire appearance. There will even be new hairstyles and colors so even if you may be happy with your character, you may want to take a look!
The appearance kiosk will be Cartel Only, but there will be a huge discount for Subscribers (Like 50% off everything).
It’ll look very similar, if not exactly, like the character creator 🙂 With all the options there. It’s charged on a per slider basis so adding a scar or just changing eye color is very cheap. You can even preview making a character of another species to see how you like it and unlock stuff through there.
Now, probably the thing I am most excited for… DYE MODULES! You just open up the modification panel of whatever it is you want to dye, drop the dye in and hit accept. Be warned that not everything will dye as consistently–but thankfully, you can also preview everything first before dying.
It also recognizes unified colors so you only need to dye the chest piece if you want a single color. Many of the dyes will be available through crafting, the security key vendor, and other vendors. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Collector’s Edition vendor got some too.
Of course, not all items can be dyed. It will say if you can or not. Anything below level 15 most likely can’t be. Most green items can’t be. Hopefully the lower level social items can be dyed (PINK PRINCESS DRESSES).
Everything from crafting can be dyed. Lore outfits (Like the Last Handmaiden) can’t be dyed.
There are Primary and Secondary colors for most outfits. Some dyes come in Primary only, some dyes come in Secondary only, and some that are a mix.
I’m pretty excited to be honest. My light pink and gold princess dress is not far off T~T And maybe I can dye that one shirt for Amidaia now! …of course, I think that’s lower than level 15. Well, hopefully it’s one of the few that can be!
(seriously though, if there’s no light pink dye, I will cry >> and I mean real pink, not ugly purple-ish pink pink :P)
Cathar will be out in the next big update (2.1) 😀 I personally do not know if I will make them (there isn’t really any other class I’d want to play. I mean, maybe Shadow DPS but that’ll probably go horridly wrong).
But yes, some stuff about the Cathar!
-They will be unlocked through the Cartel Market (600 Cartel Coins :3). And you can even change your existing character to them! ISN’T THAT COOL?! So if you want a name that you have been saving to make a Cathar, maybe go and do that now instead 😛
—-Don’t worry, it is account-wide once you’ve unlocked it so you don’t have to pay lots if you want a family of Cathar.
-Aric will be getting a make-over! He will be updated to be more detailed like the Cathar you can create 🙂
And as I’m sure you saw in the video, they will be available for all classes and are coming with new hairstyles too! So cool <3
They will have their own special emote like other species for their Cathar pride :3 And tons of neat customization options.
BUT YES, SCREENSHOTS:
While I don’t know if I am definitely making a Cathar (mostly as I’d have no clue what to make them class-wise), I definitely will be looking at all the options 🙂
Because a new pack means another day where I torment myself and fail miserably trying to get what I want. And stream live to remember my failures :3 Over!

As usual, didn’t get even close to the priorities (just 1 T__T) 🙁 so looks like lots of buying off the GTN.
Saw the Desert Kell Drake on the Market… which means it’s tradeable <_< >_>
…one of you will help me get one, right? T~T (considering I will probably not be doing the operation for years until it can be two-manned and I’m severely overleveled)
note to self: stalk GTN for one you can afford.
Finished the Agent storyline last night! I’d probably like to continue the binocular stuff and imperial side of Makeb next, but I’d also like to see some of my other characters’ class stories. But I don’t want to do any of the planets again and there’s no way to be able to speed through just doing class stuff unless someone literally speeds you through.
You just won’t get enough experience :/ even with all the boosts. We ended up finishing at level 47.
Also ran into a weird glitch that let us (yes, us) get the Makeb quest early… reported it. Hopefully that is fixed–mostly as my boyfriend won’t be able to get the cutscene on his bounty hunter otherwise :/ Since he’s bound to it from somehow being able to witness my quest.
Anyway…new cartel packs will be out whenever they get the patch out @-@ So that’ll be interesting.
So, hoping today to finally get the Droid Hunt underway–even more so now that the MCR-100 has been confirmed to come from finding them all.
I’m really excited and glad they put something like this in. I hope more will be done in the future too.
I’m still trying to figure out what to even do now, but it’s annoying that just because I hit 55, my stats dropped due to being in level 50 gear.
That is a stupid and screwed up concept. Especially as most of the gear handed out in Makeb sucks.
Of course, the way endgame gear has been to begin with along with essentially making operations “old” is stupid in itself–especially for a story-based MMO with an actual order 😐
So, with the main plot of Makeb done (on the Republic side anyway) and most of some of the other things, I figured I’d just talk about it without random one-liners. I also recorded EVERYTHING on Twitch and still am so if there’s something you want to see from our journeys in Makeb or any of the new quests, feel free to go there and look at past videos (or even watch us work on exploring and the dailies in Makeb).
Makeb is beautiful and has one of my new favorite areas in the game–the Sunken Pool in Frinn Mesa. Seriously, if I am online and in Makeb and you have no idea where I am, chances are I’m there. The only thing I have to say if that I wish all the enemies there were neutral. Taking in the sights and getting smacked by one of those pteradactyl-like things. Not to mention with everyone moving around and having things they do, it felt much more alive than other planets.
Anyway, the storyline was a bit shorter than I expected, but still played out well. I didn’t expect a Hutt to speak anything but Huttese.
The only disappointment I can say I had is probably at the end–that you couldn’t save the planet and that it just “stops”. I just wish we could’ve done something–I think that’d have been really cool. Although, considering what happened, I wish all the enemies were gone so we could just explore Makeb in all it’s prettiness 🙁
The cutscenes are great though and it’s still a lot of fun. I did expect more from the Tobarro (rather than a single robot and then just him–kind of reminded me of what happened on Quest to be honest), but not a big deal.
Onto the Datacrons… I’m sad there were only 2–and they were both kind of cruel to get to. I really dislike Pipes @-@ Never was good with them. I’m not sure how long it took us for the Endurance one–maybe 2-3 hours? We actually did pretty well, considering. Mar-gon mostly had issues with bouncing off stuff (I actually had to pull him on the platform before the final stretch) while I managed to miss the scaffolding (which almost happened AGAIN during my next run back). I think I did pretty good soloing the mobs though.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to finishing the GSI stuff. Just need to find people to do the Heroics with.
Also, the Hero of Citizens quests are interesting, but I hate that you can’t just get them all. I understand why (apparently changes the end), but it’s bothering my OCPD >_>
As for the Digging and Binocular stuff, I do find them fun for the most part. Digging can get annoying sometimes though–especially the ship parts. Dread Seed areas are so creepy though :/
Going to stat stuff + skill changes, while I am still frustrated with what I had to change in my tree at first, it’s essentially fine now and my healing never really took a downfall or anything–it still seemed the same. I would say my biggest issue is the Resplendence proc which now effects Salvation and Noble Sacrifice. With my rotation, I often use Salvation and then Noble Sacrifice which means Salvation almost always gets the proc and then I lose more HP with Noble Sacrifice. Resplendence stacks up to 3 times. Noble Sacrifice uses it just once while Salvation will use all that you have. It takes off about .6-.7 seconds on Salvation so for all 3, it’ll be instant. Noble Sacrifice’s 1 is the usual of “now you won’t lose force for the force regaining move which is stupid on so many levels”. I just wish they were separate procs or maybe Salvation didn’t take ALL OF IT. v-v; Just annoying.
Also no idea what they did with crit/surge/alacrity other than that mine is a lot lower now and I’m super confused.
But yeah, overall, I am enjoying Makeb. I still think the achievement system is a mess/glitchy though and I wish it didn’t exist, although, it can be a bit fun. Also sad about another HM and higher difficulty pet. Nothing is wrong with putting one in story mode, god. I think though, once I finish all the quests and exploration though, I’ll probably be frustrated again unless I magically manage to be able to murder ops solo and not be behind anymore.
Edit: And done! The GSI quests are now done @-@ The final bosses are evil and Shroud being alive still was evil (although, not too surprising since his body disappeared). I enjoyed the speeder jumping in the quest before Shroud’s fight though.
Ilum was super creepy though and I expect to have nightmares.
Both end boss fights were kind of glitchy… but yeah, just happy to be done.
Also streaming on Twitch while I play since Livestream hates me lately for recording purposes.
But yes, comments so far:
1. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? T___T WHY, BIOWARE, WHY? COOLEST PUZZLE TO A HEROIC EVER.
3. That robot looks scarier than he is.
4. My quick travel glitched out 🙁 it got used, but didn’t teleport me (my game crashed instead)
