Section X done!

Yep, we finished everything 😀 yaaay. I love the teleporters at the end. Way better than running back through everything X___x

regardless, hopefully I will never have to see them again. Stupid dailies. XP <--- thus the forever being poor anyway, time for pet research~ even if it makes me feel sad with my sucky luck 🙁 Edit: Looking forward to when I get my Hero Banner @-@

Preparing for HK-51

So, first of all, I will apologize by how this may be written as I am sick with sinuses and bad dayness and junk.

Anyway, as most people know, I was planning to park where the quest giver is on the fleet… BUT THEN I REALIZED SOMETHING. What is that something, you may ask even if you’re not actually asking but I am pretending you are?

Two items are sold by Collector Kezzit, a Jawa Vendor in Outlaw’s Den. Now, there already is a Jawa Vendor, but this is apparently a different one who also apparently appears where Blearg is… I don’t know if Collector Kezzit will take over his stock or Blearg will be moved, but out of paranoia, I went and bought the Gurian Shadow ahead of time. So I guess I made progress in my speeder collection afterall.

I figure after I quickly buy the items and hopefully do so before someone can kill me and/or aggro the vendor, I will then teleport to the fleet and grab the quest. From there, I will then teleport to the Black Hole Daily area and use the shuttle to get to Section X quickly and then I WILL BE READY TO BEGIN.

and of course, lots of Cartel Box opening while I do this. I will probably stream to record what I get and better keep track of it while writing it down.

I just have to hope my boyfriend will be ready to go to as we will not have time to waste >_>

1.5 – November 15th

So, in a week, 1.5 will be upon us. This will bring:

1. Nightmare EC (I will have to add that stupid tank mount to my list. I also have only a week to try and get all the speeders I still need… I don’t see myself getting the Ranked Warzone one–EC HM one is iffy… but I can always try to save for the ones I need to buy*)
2. HK-51 and new dailies + new world boss. I will be on immediately when patch goes up. FYI CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
3. The Cartel Market

So, in Nightmare EC, there was confirmed there would be a pet. I do feel it may be the Wonderous Egg (afterall, how did that rumor start?), but there is no confirmation… if it is though, at least it can be traded so I can just hope someone pities my sad existence outside the doorway.

I’ve already prepared enough gifts to get HK to 10K so yay. I’ll probably be camping myself near where the NPC will spawn the night before so I can grab the quest and head on over to Section X. I don’t really care about getting him geared out right away–I don’t expect to use him much afterall. I just want to see is story.

Still mixed feelings on the Cartel Market. Apparently it will be 5 dollars for 450 Cartel Coins so a bit under a direct transition which kind of stinks.. however, that’s been the kind of thing most cash shops have done lately :/ Still stinks though. I’ll be getting 2800 complementary though… plus a bonus 250 during the actual launch. I still feel it may be slightly off though… and well, I hope that 500 per subscribed month after launch is true. That’d be nice. I plan on buying the speeder and pet available plus 2 of the tops…rest will be spent on packs though.

I just really wish they’d make a list of everything you can get ._. Regardless, I have prepared a trade page and everyone in the Pet Channel is awesome so… shall just hope for the best.

*I have been asked a lot why I didn’t just buy these when they were cheaper. To be honest, if I could, I would have. However, my choices were between stuff that would be GONE and thus, would probably go up to ridiculous points or just the speeders sticking around. In the end, the money went towards the Koreallis Speeders, one of the Prime speeders that was rumored to be going, and to help my boyfriend get his white lightsaber crystal. Sure, I wanted one too, but I knew he wanted it more so that is where all my money went. And it sucks I couldn’t get the speeders at a lower price, but I don’t regret what I did use the credits for.

Test Server discoveries

So, I finally went and popped on to the test server for 1.5. I have had it patched for a long while, but just haven’t really gone on. I don’t plan to play around with HK-51’s quest just yet–I’ll wait until it’s up on the main servers, but I figured I’d at least scope out of the area.

For now, I’ll make sure to camp my character in the GTN area before the patch goes up so I can grab the quest from the General guy right away.

Section X kind of makes me think of Belsavis if it was blown to pieces and it was night time so yeah. I also keep aggro-ing everything. Oops.

Mobs look pretty evil looking…and there are quite a bit of them 🙁

After wandering around like an idiot, I stumbled upon Dreadtooth pacing around the Crumbling Wall area (X:567, Y:-1734 is part of it).

So I watched him pace around and I shall end it there since I really can’t do much of anything by myself! Still, was fun to see~

Hmm… + Cave Speculation + Tatooine

Well, after a very awkward PVP match last night (though, we won and it finished the daily), I hit valor rank 78. Yay.

Besides that, with 1.4 possibly looming overhead (still no announcement though–my guess is they are hoping to get it out tonight, but there may be some issues and they aren’t sure if they will be able to so no patch yet tonight. It is possible it could be later this week then if this week), I’m feeling a bit down that once again my goals are nowhere near complete. Sure, I managed to finish the gear-related ones…but while important to even do the new content, it is not as important to me 🙁

I technically still need gloves, but it isn’t a big thing. Only non-gear related stuff I finished were some of the quests I still had to go 🙁

I mean, I guess I’m making progress… but I still wish some of the first goals in my list could be done (Ship Legacy stuff–still need 6 million for that… and Orochick T__T).

Moving on, cave stuff! So, currently, from CKN’s livestream:

10:30 Particulate: you want to know what’s in the cave?
10:30 Particulate: only what you bring with you.
10:31 Martin_smith: oh damn, troll and true at the same time

If that sounds familiar, well… this will be why.

It really makes me feel it is most likely something you can bring in that can change. I stated some stuff there, but it really makes me think of a color crystal with that kind of thing. Maybe an Adegan Crystal or a rough shard or the pristine version?

Besides that, went to Tatooine and pulled people up on the sandcrawlers again. That was fun. Someone even gave me 10K! So nice.

And may play alts again today~

Edit: According to my boyfriend, the KOTOR games also hint to this cave from the movie and thus, this could also be a hint to those. Must look up KOTOR stuff too. And of course, all of this coincides with the “old school” hint.

For the whole scene with the cave in Episode 5, see below:

Q&A-ness

So, I am home and now reading over the Q&A (Yay for transcripts. I shall definitely watch after). To be honest, I’m super sad that I didn’t get to watch live 🙁 Regardless, yay for new information! If only it was longer.

BUT YES, ONTO THOUGHTS. I won’t comment on everything and mostly just highlight what I am excited about…but yeah XD

-Confirmed that Free to Play is coming in November.
-Some early gear sets. Also some experience boosts separate from legacy.
-New daily questing area coming soon~ (And we already knew about the Hypergates and stuff)
-Paid transfers are coming.
-” In a future update when we release Mekab there will be continuation of where the story left off.” yeeeeeeeeees.
-“you will see that a couple weeks before we launch the FTP option players can go into the PTS and our intent is for anybody that logs into PTS to get some Cartel Coins that they can play with only on PTS – those don’t xfer to the live game! We will have items for sale on PTS that people can go in, make purchase and give us feedback.” more yeeeeeeees. As for why this would excite me, it’d be nice to see stuff I’m going to want in the main game along with learning prices of things like…oh…I don’t know… PETS.
-Looks like the 350 BH Commendation Implants may be a mistake and not actually coming out immediately: “The side effect of PTS is that occasionally items that are not intended for live made it up there and unfortunately that specific item was the case of that. So that item in particular is going to be removed, reviewed, and hopefully a better version will come out in a future update.”
-While HK-51 will be out by the end of the year, Cathar may take somewhat longer: “Cathar and HK-51 are both in the works. HK-51 I am confident that you will see before the end of the year. Cathar have no definite timeframe at this point but we intend to introduce them as the first species in SWTOR.”
-Mounts and Pets for the Cartel Shop! Also some gear sets, but will have no impact on endgame. Sounds interesting: “The gear you will find will be interesting to everyone because it is not going to be restricted by class or by faction and all moddable”
-“We also have a really cool thing called Cartel packs. Cartel packs you buy give you a random assortment of really cool items and a chance to get some of the cooler items that maybe in the game (not powerful, but very cool – they going to make you look AMAZING!)” I just hope it’s just a pack of various items over some kind of random item box.
-Nightmare EC and Nightmare TfB will have various differences besides just being harder.
-Whether the XP Boosts and Rocket Boots will be overlaps of the legacy system or just alternate ways to purchase currently unknown as they couldn’t say.
-Cathar can be purchased with Cartel Coins (as well as credits I think? Wording is kind of odd). More may be available to as well over using credits.
-Hood toggle option still coming.
-More content for smaller groups of players coming.

There wasn’t really anything else in particular. Wish they answered some of the stuff I was really wondering about 🙁

Revisiting the old “Expansion Pack”

While responding to someone, I ended up looking this back up. While it seems the initial idea of a specified Expansion may be gone (as Makeb and Cathar being anything but just actual content updates would be surprising due to the fact that it hasn’t been mentioned as anything otherwise besides that server before they were properly announced), there’s still a lot of things we haven’t heard about though. We also know the Kowakian Monkey Lizard was going to be available from the Cartel Market instead now.

For example:
1. The two-person speeder (it was mentioned off-hand once since…but not in a long while)
2. Ewok Companion – Right now, we’re still waiting on HK-51. However, I would love to see more companions and never see Iresso again and Ewoks are adorable. This does bring up some lore issues according to my boyfriend who said that the Ewok planet shouldn’t even have been discovered yet though. However. Naboo supposedly hasn’t been discovered either and it is mentioned on Hutta during the Agent storyline.
3. More schematics. They’ve slowly been bringing these out anyway, but I’m curious to which they mentioned here.
4. More Vanity Items. Always welcomed~ Curious to see what they were planning.
5. More character slots (While still confirmed to be coming, the details are still unknown)

And there were also 90 free days and a 10 day head-start which I’m not sure if that will still be coming considering it may no longer be an expansion pack.

To be honest, if the expansion pack just includes the stuff early plus a few of these things even if Makeb, Cathar, and the Kowakian Monkey Lizard and no longer original to the expansion…I’d probably still get it. 90 free days for 10 bucks is pretty good and head starts = awesome.

“You had to know I’d love this sort of thing.”

So, working on Corellia and doing Amidaia’s story and we get to this point where she needs an army to storm into Thanaton’s base. She pretty much says how she doesn’t want more people dying for her. She’s seen enough death of people she has cared about and/or who have helped her.

Thus, when I was given a choice to have a storm of ANIMALS go on through? OH YES. And I will heal my butt off to keep them alive. Best. Choice. Ever. My story has won. Thus, I am going to make sure I don’t miss any part of it. YAY.

Edit: They…they killed them. T__T AND I COULD DO NOTHING. NO MERCY NOW.

Edit 2: YAY! Almost done! And since Thanaton is on the Council during the Sith Warrior…Sith Warrior’s ending happens before the Inquisitor.

Edit 3: Emperor’s Voice is what killed us during the Sith Warrior end. It did 23K to me and 15K to my boyfriend…so warning, INTERRUPT IT.

Edit 4: STORYLINE DONE! YAY! I will record until I finish Khem’s story and then stop :3

Edit 5: Showed the choices for Khem. As usual, he hates pity/help 😛

Edit 6: ALL DONE! Yay! Now onto Ilum…of course, we’ll probably finish Corellia and many other things first. So, I have ended the recording 🙂 You can find it saved here.

Secret Agent Girl~

Slowly going through Cellina’s story. I really do like it a lot. It seems all your choices become apparent right away with how things shape out while with others, it’s either one thing that doesn’t get touched upon again or one thing much later.

Sanju is pretty cool. The date scene was adorable. All holding hands and stuff T~T if only my screenshots didn’t hate working in instances. It makes me sad he didn’t go with your character–even if he was just kind of on the ship doing nothing like all those people on the Consular’s ship. I really hope you get to see him again.

I was also excited to hear more about Gray Star. I was very surprised when I did see him as I expected him to look different. Also was sad not much was said about it. Nor any kind of cameo from Zenith at some point 🙁 However, with Zenith’s conversations, I do wonder if the “Gray Star” he spoke about was the actual one or actually Sanju.

Anyway, hopefully I’ll get to do more story soon…but I’ll probably have to do the Balmorra Bonus series first. Just…not enough experience to do only class quests, unfortunately. ._.
