I live in a university dorm right now, am afraid they will search my mail or track my internet history or have cameras in my room. Is it safe to try DIY or should I find another way? Am I being paranoid?
This might be a stupid question, but when I started playing this game, the level cap was 80; I don't know what happens when it gets raised. When it changes to 85, how will that work for the story? Will the first 8.0 release likely be scaled for 81, or will we have to level to 85 before doing any new story? Asking because the difference between levels is so big now it wouldn't make any sense to have ranges like on the class story planets.
When I first started playing this game, I had never played an MMO before and was coming straight from KOTOR, which has a very different combat system. I picked Sentinel for my first run (no clue what spec) but spent several planets only using the basic attack because... idk I was an idiot and thought it was a "waste" to use abilities on normal enemies.
Needless to say this made combat take forever. Since I never even felt a sense of threat thanks to having T7 on heals, I decided I hated SWTOR combat and played almost exclusively stealth for most of a year.
However, I eventually came to my sense and learned how to play the game. I'm not good by any stretch of the imagination, but I have two characters at 80, can use a basic rotation, etc. I'm currently playing an Annihilation Marauder, which I thought would suck due to my past experience. Instead, I fucking love it. I love jumping around and dicing enemies to pieces. I love how I get more powerful the more fighting I do in a short span of time. I love watching the animations. I truly feel like a marauder and I have absolutely no desire to use stealth; combat's just too fun. (Having Khem on DPS does help, tbf).
Anyway, that's pretty much a useless rant, but the point is, I don't think I'm the only one who was an idiot in the beginning, and I'm glad I finally developed an appreciation for this (extremely important) aspect of the game.
