Some are not always dialogue acceptable especially in my case my Agent never looked impressed and sometimes had a scrunchy face. This also shows some of the new facial expressions in the game.Īnother new feature in update 5.0 is the new engine that shows facial expressions during conversations. Theron Shan one of the Outlanders companions and a character that has been around since Shadow of Revan. If I level up a new character I will go through all the quests and do the heroics again, at least for the experience and gear. Now players can skip that and go straight through the story arc. Warzones also helped in earning points to the next rank. I didn’t do many flashpoints but it helped at times to get higher levels later on in the game when gameplay got much harder and it was more difficult to move on. It use to be players had to do all the quests, at least some of the heroics, fight in warzones, and do operations and flashpoints just to level up enough to pass a planet. One thing that has changed from the first years of the game is in update 4.0 when they messed with the leveling system. A complete list of changes can be found here. Shiv is gone but I got maim, at least I am able to knife enemies. Some abilities were taken away and new ones added, as an Agent I still kept all the good abilities and at least snipers keep cover, which was imperative in the last boss fight. If you know the hotkeys it won’t be that frustrating. BioWare also made changes to the interface with the menu bar compacted. If you are an experienced player or have a group go with the veteran mode, story feels too easy. Players can also choose difficulty modes either story or veteran. When you enter warzones you will be asked to join a side as well. I chose light only because my Imperal Agent is light V. Players choose which side they want to fight for and as players play and win battles they move their server to the light or dark. Other changes are the addition of the light vs dark system. You can also get gear by leveling up you Command points and getting Galactic Command stashes. Still have my moddable Dread Scout Jacket from Belsavis. Either that or I just have bad luck on gear. I am not having great luck finding good gear. Every time a prototype gear is dropped it is for a force user or a trooper/bounty hunter. I found the looted gear in the new expansion to be terrible, at least for an Agent and Sniper. The thing about doing quests and heroics are the rewards. When replaying chapters it will not change outcomes from your previous play through. Once you achieve level 70 the Galactic Command becomes available and players can use it to do heroics and dailies on the main planets, enter warzones, fight in the new uprisings, and replay chapters. These are still around on the base game planets, but the new expansion story planets, minus Odessen and Zakuul, are now single player instances and are not as vast as say Tatooine. My Imperial Agent actually joined the Revanites so it was interesting when I mentioned it to Lana Beniko. Take for instance the Revanite quest on Dromund Kaas, in Shadow of Revan you reveal that you met them. I also find that the side quests work with your character’s story. The planets you encounter in the base game, which are vast and open, have side quests, dailies, and heroics to expand on the gameplay. Once you get to the new story the chapters essentially become single player instances. First and foremost this is an MMO and when playing through the three chapters of the class story it is essentially an MMO. Before I go into the awesomeness that is the newest stories let me first delve into the changes made in the game and with update 5.0.Īfter five years The Old Republic is still going strong and I have seen its evolution from the very beginning. However, as far as the new updates to the gameplay I felt the new expansion lacking in what made this game a great MMO. Spirit of Valkorian with Vaylin.Īs a long time player, since Beta test, and a Star Wars fan I found the new chapters to be epic and add to the Star Wars saga. Your destiny is to claim the Eternal Throne and restore the galaxy or rule as Emperor with help from your allies and the presence of Emperor Valkorian. These chapters pick up with you, the Outlander, now commanding an alliance of Imperial and Republic forces, Mandalorians, Zakuulans, and others who came to ally against the Eternal Empire and Empress Vaylin. In the latest expansion for BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, Knights of the Eternal Throne, we have a new look, additions of Galactic Command, Light vs Dark, class changes, and nine new chapters to the story of the Alliance’s battle against the Eternal Empire.
