My companion died too. They've been really strange lately. Sometimes they just disappear in Star Fortresses, die upon quick travel, or lag behind so much they don't do anything. Yeah, Makeb heroics are weekly. I did them yesterday and can't do them today, so... That blows. I have about 26k left of rep needed. Ugh. Is this worth it? Manaan, you better raw me after this. Weird and annoying then. I've never had the random death on quick travel happen before though. Was just so weird to see him keel over like that. But yes, the lagging behind is frustrating. I always make sure to wait for them now, the amount of times I used to have Theron lag behind me, not notice, and then nearly get myself killed because of it is way too high. That sucks, all the other Heroics reset daily now, outside of the starter planet ones. This is gonna take a long, long time them. Oh well, not like my Zakuul stronghold is coming out anytime soon, so I have the time. Makeb doesn't show up in Galactic Command either. I have no clue why. Also, the Quick Travels for Makeb don't seem to transport me close enough, which bugs me. All the others take you directly to the area. On Makeb, not a chance. As for the saber colors, I alternate between blue, purple, green, white, orange, pink, but never, ever red. I'm a horrible Sith.

My Inquisitor and one of my Warrior's both use red, one because they like red, and the other because he was still pro Empire (but very anti Sith) right up until Acina screeched at him to join her. XD Makeb is all round annoying it seems. I just finished the planet mission, picked up a few more Heroics, and oh hi poison gas. Died, and promptly kicked the quest out of my log. Clicked as fast as I could but that poison gave no fucks.

The Force is strong with our studly Force users. I kind of miss Acina. She was fine and dandy during that one chapter in KotET then went ape shit during War for Iokath. I still hate the whole choosing a side thing. I will never be okay with it after finally being able to be using both the Light and the Dark in the Alliance. I love Odessen, if only it loved me back.

Yeah, it sucks, I guess when everything was shunted down to be done by a user and companion that wasn't dealt with. My companion would heal me and not himself so he'd die to the poison and I followed straight after. Oh well. But yes, I hated being forced to pick a side, most of my characters allied with her during KOTET, 'enemy of my enemy' and all that, but she seemed to lose all her cool during that meeting with Jace. Like, I hate at the end that he's all 'we will hound the Imperials' because nah, peace bro, stop slaughtering everything, but I guess people were crying so loudly for going back to Empire v's Republic that they went for it. I still wonder what will happen to our poor Alliance if it breaks down. I can't see the Imperials who joined us want to return to an Empire that Jace is trying to crush. Nor would my Imperial characters ever return to the Empire after Iokath, so I don't see how we can go forward unless your decision between Republic/Empire continues past Iokath. I'm still curious as to who the betrayer is. Though if they go Scions it's kind of a cop out as we're not exactly close enough to them for it to be some big betrayal. Though if it ends up being a companion, people would be pissed as hell.

farferelloHuh, I totally forgot about the Betrayer. If it does end up being a Scion, Imma riot. I can't think of who would have a female body and humanoid in our group though. Lana? Unlikely. Can't be Kaliyo because you can kill her earlier. Can't be Vette for same reasons. Senya would have zero reason to do this. Maybe they used a female body type to confuse us though and itll be Scorpio. Again. Cure your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Maybe they used a female body type to confuse us though and itll be Scorpio. Again. Cure your sudden but inevitable betrayal! It's possible, especially as under the robe, some people had glitches where they could see Scion robes. It'd be dumb if it was them because it'd hardly be a betrayal. We didn't get close to any but Heskal and he's dead. Senya wouldn't do it, not after you saved Arcann, and if either of them wanted you dead, they could have easily done so when you were vulnerable on the throne. I hope Scorpio is dead/one with Iokath depending on decisions and doesn't come back, that'd be pretty ugh. If it is a female, the only one left in Lana and I doubt they'd make her the betrayer unless they want to feast on fanboy tears. Datamining makes it look like their identity will be revealed in the new Flashpoint come August so I guess we'll see then. (I just hope we can take who we want through said Flashpoint. Much as I love Theron, I wouldn't mind being able to use my own companion for something for a change. The forced companions gets real tedious, especially as I always feel the need to get their influence up decently high for healing.) I suppose they could make it either of the female Alliance Specialists but that would be kinda dumb as you need them to hand in the alliance crates from Heroics, and they don't exactly have any real reason to turn on you. It can't be anyone from the Alliance Alerts as you may not have picked any of them up, makes the possible list of close people to you that would betray you, rather limited.

Freaking 9 people on all of Makeb and this guy is stealing my mobs for my bonus on the one heroic. Grr!!! It was after midnight. Luckily, some roleplay came up in my guild, so I went off to do that for two hours. I have all week to do these heroics.

Anyone else drop group when Blood Hunt pops in queue? It happened three times today. I think it is the worst, most buggy flashpoint we have! Those knockbacks are uncalled for.

Luckily, some roleplay came up in my guild, so I went off to do that for two hours. I have all week to do these heroics. I never bother to do the bonuses anymore, it takes so much time having to hunt down the 30, 40, 50, whatever mobs, like ugh, nah. I managed to do four of the five Heroics each on my Shadow and Assassin so I only need just over 5k next week to finally get legendary status. Then I never have to return to that awful planet. Glad that Section X rep has nothing I like at the vendor. Like Iokath everything seems spread out and overly tedious - though Makeb's Heroic Travel dropping you no where near the destination is also kind of annoying.

I only try to kill tons of mobs because they have a chance to drop reputation as well. I have another two weeks left sadly, as I need 18k of reputation and the damn cap is what 10k? Infuriating that my Manaan won't have those horse statues right away! As for Section X, I only slightly like the decos for it, but the lower rank version is fine by me honestly.

I think I'd lose my mind trying to kill all those mobs just for a tiny chance they might drop rep. But I suppose it's worth the effort if you need so much. Luckily between my two, I can get it next week. Not that I need the statues yet, but I'm sure I can stick them in my Coruscant Stronghold somewhere for now.

Because of the reputation cap on weekly, I need two weeks regardless, which is annoying. I have a huge RP story revolving around my character taking the vow of Barash and staying on Manaan to study the ancient Rakata and the Force. Great. Great. Great.

I remember how many weeks it took me for the Yavin and Czerka one though with those it was easier to grind the rep and hold onto it until reset. That's pretty neat, having rp reasons for a Stronghold is awesome. I think my main just wants to move away from Republic space, he likes Zakuul enough when things from there aren't trying to kill him and he hopes Arcann would feel more at home living there.

Everyone’s all excited for Manaan and here I am redoing one of my Coruscant rooms because I finally got the Makeb rep to get the Noble Beast statues.

Well, you'd never be able to recreate that on Manaan. The place is small and only has four expansions. Only rooms are about half the size of that room. Sigh. I like my Manaan SH but it isn't amazing.

Hi, I want to play this game but.. Can anybody answer my questions?
If I will subscribe for just one month (or just one time purchase) will I get all DLCs? Also can I romance male companions as male (if so which one exactly?) It's not clear to me by searching the main site. Also I already have ''preffered'' player status.
Thanks in advance!

You will be able to play "DLC" (they are expansions tbh) if you subscribe, but only as long as you're a sub I think. You can romance Theron Shan and Koth as a male character. Both only aviable after lvl55+, you can start flirting with Shan during alliances storyline (transferring it to kotfe-kotet or starting there from the scratch if you skip it) and with Koth in KOTFE/KOTET. Also I may be wrong (left the game month after kotet was released), but generally romance content in kotfe/kotet wasn't great. You don't get long personal talks with companions in there and all base game companions who have them are hetero. And there is a Sith on Imperial Makeb for male characters only, but he's a fling. One kiss and then you never meet again.

Yeah I saw how lacking the Manaan stronghold was. Quite disappointing for those who really wanted it. :/ It's a shame, the place has a nice view but from what I've seen, the decorating hooks and rooms are rather terrible. I hate having huge spaces, sometimes smaller rooms to make a bedroom and such is nice, but from what I've seen, Manaan doesn't have that.

One kiss and then you never meet again. Pretty accurate here. Romance content for Theron/Koth/Lana isn't quite on the same levels as the vanilla romances (and even less so if you romance Koth ) and you do have to wait a long time to get to them if you plan to do all the content rather than skip right to it. It's a shame honestly, but it's well worth slogging through everything to finally be able to romance Koth or Theron (or Lana if that's your thing) though with Koth the romance does hinge somewhat on... making, or not making certain decisions during KOTFE. In a similar way, getting the kiss/fling on Makeb Imperial side, requires you to play your Empire character a certain way (at least, on one decision involving the fling.) It's a fun game but if you only want to play the romances, the slog to get there might no be worth it.
