You don't have to wait for that.

Same here. ^.^ Regarding everything else...

Seems that it keeps moving along. They did move to Broadsword but have still been putting out a lot releases including a 64-bit client early last year. Can read their 12th Year Anniversary announcement here with what they did in 2023 and what's to come in 2024. https://www.swtor.com/info/news/article/20231220

With the colour customizations available Dark powersets don't have to be dark.

Every time I read the title of this thread, my brain... in it's own demented fashion... read New Dude - City of Villains as Nude City.

I think that when starting out and trying the game, one needs to have in mind what kind of character they want to play before jumping in. I do like stabbity-stabbity, Hulk-smash and the occasional sniper but for the most part I tend to play a lot of support which can be a slog when soloing. Do-able, but you have to take the slow, cautious approach, though when teamed even with a couple other players it can increase the enjoyment considerably. There are tons of guides for practically every flavour of character you could think of so, I'd suggest starting with what kind of character you'd like to play, tank, scrapper, blaster, blapper, etc. Want to pound on your enemies, blast them in the face, or send your minions after them? The folks here can offer up a multitude of ideas (and have) for a combo of powersets that may fill your needs.

It would also likely require a whole new game engine.

This is why I didn't put on my Snarky™ Hat and just said to go play the game.

Toggle my XP on/off so I can finish out the contact. On some character I play through the low level contacts, especially if I haven't played their arc in a good long while, other characters I team up with friends and get PL'd along the way. I'm not big on 'End Game' play so no need to rush to 50.

I just said it's an option. I don't even have a second account.

Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

This would fit in perfect with my Bots MM where I have replaced their stomping around with rubber ducky squeaks.

I'll just recommend that you download and hop into the game and see how it actually plays. Who knows you may actually have fun.

Another option would be to run a second account, create multiple characters that are held at 5-level increments, and team up with them to exemplar down with.

Take Fire and colour it like water, problem solved.

Thanks! I knew there was a list somewhere, couldn't find it. And yes, some far exceed not just the power slot, but the bar itself. The Badge_GotTip is actually slightly larger than the slot, covering the slot border but doesn't overlap slots next to it, so I find it acceptable. Not to mention it looks like a notebook and fits the theme. :)

You get Tailor Discount Coupons (-25%) when logging out at any tailor for the day job. As for Free Tailor Token, not sure other than Super Packs. May have changed with HC though.

Regarding icon use in macros, I believe the image file name used in the wiki will use the same icon in the marco. For instance: /macroimage Badge_GotTip BgLst popmenu badgelist will use for the toolbar button.

Not necessarily a typo, but it is backwards. Task Forces for Heroes, Strike Force for Villains

A big THANK YOU to all of the Devs/Mods who brought this together! And a big Conga ratz! to all the winners and all the folks who participated! I saw a bunch of amazing costumes on Torch!

Along with @Crystal Dragon's list below I would include: ah: Auction House, which can be accessed on the go with the /ah command from pretty much anywhere but SG's and instanced maps. SG: Super Group Instanced maps are pretty much every mission you enter a door/shuttle/ferry/helicopter to enter. You can find the majority of them here: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Category:Definition

At first, with all the influx of returning/new players I was surprised that no one chimed in on the Protector thread, then I realized that we're all probably already here. :D
