[@olivertripp5412]

You've put tons of work in this and these tips and hints are gold for newbies to the game. Great work.

[@ProjectPeachy.]

As a SWTOR player that has played for 3 years i'd say it's definitely worth playing. But if you believe it's free to play, you're gonna have a bad time.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Why is that? The game is F2P, its just that a subscriber gets more goodies available to them.

[@short72hp1]

thanks for vid it was a good refresher I got to 50 originally bout I stated over and had forgotten a lot like how to do aug. kits I finally gogled it

[@1dir951]

Great video. Couple footnotes: Some Scavenging skills can enable shortcuts like opening doors/gates, calling elevators and shuttles (ie. Archeology, Scavenging, Slicing). And, unchecking Flashpoints may be best done AFTER collecting the daily/weekly bonus which requires all flashpoint be checked to qualify for them.

[@Swtorista]

Awesome tip!! I wish you could be eligible for the random reward while not getting spoilers :(

[@mag4208]

This is the video i needed

[@keithharris3734]

If you have level 50 comp and are double DPS-ing. use your companion Quick Bar and let them initiate combat. They will draw the aggro and let you focus on your rotation. They will have a ridiculous amount of health compared to you. As SWTORista said, if they get down to 2% health after the fight, dismiss and recall or mount and unmount and they will have full health.

[@permeus2nd]

It’s interesting looking back at how the game used to be. I mean I started with Swtor back in its beta so all this stuff is stuff I remember but it’s all changed so much when I come back to it now in 2021, it also makes me wonder how much it will change as time goes by (assuming it last as it used to be unheard of for a MMO to last 10 years, heck Magic the Gathering didn’t even make it out of beta before it closed)

[@emiliocamachoerice6380]

My advice is if you like it suscribe for 2/1 months for the expansions and you will unlock perks with preferred status(make your alien characters before your subscription expires) and keep most perks (buying from the cartel market unlocks preferred status too but I think its better to unlock the expansions)

As of the most recent update, esseles and black talon no longer give speeders as a reward. :(

[@Swtorista]

ARGH WHY!?!

[@ingemeretehansen9408]

+Swtorista Most likely reason? Because they want you to either 1. Get a subscripton. 2. Use dem real life monies. or 3. Both. Dont get me wrong, love the game. I just get extremely annoyed whenever games require you to pay for the full experience.

[@Swtorista]

In this specific case, they were just swapping one reward for another. Actually, the new reward is worth more credits than the old one.

[@ingemeretehansen9408]

+Swtorista Alrighty. I still feel the limit on the amount of credits you can have until you pay real money is just plain greedy, though. Especially when it comes to buying new Strongholds. I would love to buy one, but they are all WAY above the credit limit. Im a preferred status player, btw.

I have a few quick questions. 1: Can I have more than one follower with me, and if so, how many? 2: Can I switch sides from Republic to Imperial? 3: Should I subscribe right away or wait until level 50? 4: Does preferred offer more racial options? 5: Do I keep the races available to a subbed player if I unsubscribe?

[@Swtorista]

1. Just 1 at a time but you get more to choose from over time 2. No sadly 3. Really depends, here's my advice www.reddit.com/r/swtor/wiki/subscriber#wiki_should_i_subscribe_to_swtor.3F 4. No, but being subscribed does, and you can continue playing any characters you created after you unsub - but new characters you make will have the old restrictions unless you full unlocked them

[@sonder924]

Hey nice video m'lady. The game seems so beautiful and alive once you turn off the interface it's insane. Almost like it's a different game. Ultra settings might also have something to do with that. ^^ Thanks for the tips.

[@Grizzly907LA]

New players will want to get all of their crafting skills leveled up....eventually, get some bind to legacy gear, and eventually create a set of gear minus implants, ear pieces, and relics, in eight level increments so they don't have to worry about a gear grind for every character since the got rid of str, will, and the other class specific stats and replaced them with mastery.

[@Swtorista]

[@waynehieatt5962]

gotta disagree with not mixing dps and tank, for solo pve anyway. You need good endurance on a dps toon because you're gonna take hits from numerous npcs that your companion just won't be able to heal quick enough, you need good buffer for solo pve imo. All endgame dps toons I've seen on the character builder have endurance higher than mastery.

[@toi-5oldier37]

Oh my God I've been playing SWTOR since release back in 2011 and I have now just found out my companion is also my personal Butler that can take out the trash haha all those trying times figuring out which junk is more valuable than the other junk so I can drop and pick up new items on a full inventory.

Great video as always Swtorista & once more Merry X-mas & Happy Life Day. I got a problem with the Galactic Datacron Master title a few weeks ago I finally got the last ones on Rishi and only got the Datacron Master for Rishi, but not the main one Galactic Datacron Master even though I got them all and my Legacy Achievement as all of them mark, later I discovered that two of the Planets' Makeb & Belsavis weren't counted. I took my main Merc from the Former Shadowlands now Star Forge back to Belsavis to back track and doublecheck & once more already had them even the shard one at the Tomb and the two 10+ Datacrons I got them finally this year after years of trying to get those two. I tried to back track the hardest one the Endurance, but after a few hrs. got tired of falling to my death trying to rush to it. but my legacy achievement as the date, but as I mentioned the overview clearly says I need those two. I posted a thread in my swtor account, but so far no reply. have a good Life day and Happy New Year's.

[@Swtorista]

How strange. Hopefully they will fix it. Happy life day!

[@CmdrSloanne]

To you too my good buddy, may you have a great X-mas Vacation.

[@HonestHappyHater]

4:45 Are you sure? I've heard you no longer get "Duster", but rather an FP-related SH deco. And I can confirm, that after completing Esseles on my Scoundrel I got a Republic Starship Computer (or sonething like that), not Lhosan Duster, like on chars I made earlier. And yeah, I was a sub all the time Merry Christmas and keep up the good work

[@chellywhovian]

I never had been able to get the duster, maybe once. But mostly lately it has been decorations. Which is fine but it would be nice to get armor. I also noticed the story mode FP lately has been really bad at doing decent drops. The last time I did Esseles I think I got one or two clothing drops and they were the same thing. I got better stuff from the heroics, but you can do them solo only so far. Before each planet gets harder to do. But the vet version's of the fp's are better well unless you are preferred or ftp (still locked behind the artifact issue)
