FAQ

What server that most of our local player play?
US Servers
The Harbinger -PVE - Galactic Republic

Do i need to buy cdkey to play the game?
Nope, the game is completely F2P from level 1-50.
Just register and download then you good to go.
There will be some restriction for F2P, like limited Warzones(PVP) and Flashpoints per week.
To play the game without any restriction, become a subscriber for full access on all content.

Nice new thread lol...

3rd! congratz on V2! go ask a mod to close v1!

Finally hit 50 last night,gotta love the free pve and pvp gears! lol
u'll level faster with subs though,together with rested xp and xp gain for subs.

Sub will give u a much better experience. Also you will get 500 Cartel Coins monthly to burn on the Cartel Market.

hoho bro...nice..

well im stuck at level 24 now...anyway since u have achieved the max level..just wanna get some guide on how maybe to level up faster...

did u do grinding or just quest?...seems like im stuck at quest...thats not a bad thing though cuz i wouldnt be lying around the same map the whole time to grind..

how about the equipment..is there a tip on good equipment to wear as a jedi shadow (kinetic)?...n is spacebattles a good option to level up faster? (seems so?)..

thx in advanced...

Stuck at which planet? usually i do all the planet main quest and the side quest too,it should get u a healthy amount of XP and if can the heroics 2+/4+
Unless u're a F2P player,the xp gain is little and would take a little while to level up.
space battles do for daily only,should get u a nice xp too.
Jedi shadow? tank or dps? if tank u should ask Kalladin in-game.He's our jedi shadow tank in the guild hehe.
normally shadow go for crit and power? not sure though for shadow.If sage i can give a little bit tips

i followed a guide on kinetic type build ....30/0/10 mainly for PVE build...then either way we can use skill reset so i wouldn't mind ...

its not that im stuck...hehe...im mentioning it wrong i thing....what i meant was did u reach max level just by questing?..or space battles?...or even what they called flaspoint?..warzone?..watever i donno ..haahhah

right now im just focusing on questing...and im a subscriber just a week ago....

my point is ....other then questing...what other type of leveling method can get u huge xp....n by all means...suitable for a low level char like myself ...ahahah

Your build is for tanking, which make you slow in killing and solo questing. Or you can try fully damage spec here>> http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601bc0zZfhrRkfbRroZc.2
Reaching max level just by planet/class quest shouldn't be a problem, you will reach 50 at Corellia or worst maybe Ilum.
If you wanna make it quicker just do daily flashpoints/space mission and Warzones.

I reached 50 in Voss

What did i do is, while i am questing i queue for Flashpoints, try do Heroic, mostly its take 30 to an hour to complete Flashpoints or Heroics but the exp and eq is worth it. Anyhow who is playing at The Harbinger??

hi all,

It's been a long time since i last logged into lowyat, but I seem to have a little quandary here. I have an extra SWTOR CD KEY and am looking if anyone is interested in buying it off me.

Or if any of you gentlemen can point me in the right direction where I should post this, would be much appreciated. Should anyone be interested please PM me.

The game is free to play now,unless you're selling the cd-key the same price as the 1 month subs fee
Maybe you can try sell it at the garage games thread there.

Yes I am. CD Key plus 1 month game time. Sorry i wasn't too detailed.

So I heard you guys like gay planets

Bioware all you need to add in now is Futanari...

Anyone playing in Dalborra facing high latency since patch 1.6? Before 1.6, my latency is always between the range of 110ms to 150ms. But after, my latency seems to increased to the range of 400ms to 1000+.

I tested the latency in Harbinger and this server also gives me around 400ms+! It doesn't make sense when APAC server is supposed to have lower latency than West Coast.

So is anyone facing this issue or there's something wrong with my connection? I'm using unifi VIP5 with no tunneling. Download speed remains as good as before.

yeah same with all of m'sian players in SWTOR,the ping is unusually high now...dunno what happened with the connection though.

Agreed. Unifi has been very intermittent and lagging these past couple of weeks. Sometimes I get a full bar but at other times, I have to waaaaaaiiittt before I can move on.

Anyone here on The Bastion server?

I think this is the reason of the lag happening now in the oceanic server
