  • A video purely about tips for new players to Star Wars: The Old Republic! Haven't played SWTOR in a very long time and need a refresher? These tips are great for returning players too. Starts from picking a server and creating a character all the way to tips for questing and companion. These tips are specifically for players starting in 2017 and 2018.

    #1 Before you make your SWTOR account, you can use a subscribed friend's referral link so you can get some free goodies ingame. If you are returning to the game after a break and have subscribed in the past but aren’t subscribed right now, you can also use a referral link to get a free 7 days of subscription - use them well! See the description of this video for a link to more info about referral codes. I’ve included more info about referral links in the description of this video if you want to use one.

    #2 Be aware of what’s available when choosing a server. At the time of making this video the developers are getting ready to merge the servers to make it easier for players to play together. If you are in North America and live towards the east, you'll want to choose the Star Forge Server. If you live near the west you'll want to choose the Satele Shan Server. If you live in Europe and speak English, you'll want to choose Darth Malgus, si vous parlez français (if you speak French choose The Leviathan), and Wenn Sie Deutsch sprechen, bitte wählen Sie das Tulak Hord (if you speak German choose Tulak Hord). All east coast servers will now be merged into Star Forge, all west coast servers are being merged into Satele Shan, the European language servers are being merged into one server each respectively.
    #3 Choose a class that seems interesting to you - there is no "best class" and they are fairly well balanced. The most commonly chosen classes are the Jedi Knight followed by the Sith Warrior. If you need more help choosing a class, I’ve made a video called “Which class should I choose?” you can watch.
    🔗 Video: Which Class Should I Play?
    • The Academy - "Which c...
    #4 Be aware that only certain advanced classes can heal or tank... So if you want to play those roles, make sure to pick a class and advanced class that allows you to choose those roles. All classes can be DPS, which means they focus on dealing damage, but only Smuggler Scoundrels, imperial operatives, Jedi consular sages, sith Inquisitor sorcerers, trooper commandos and bounty Hunter mercenaries have the ability to heal, and only Jedi consular shadows, sith Inquisitor assassins, Jedi Knight guardians, sith warrior juggernauts, trooper vanguard and bounty Hunter powertechs have the ability to tank. Ooof that’s a lot of info, just look at the chart instead. That doesn't mean it's the only thing those advanced classes can do - you can switch between being a healer and DPS or tank and DPs on those advanced classes.
    #5 You can NOT change your character's class or advanced class after you choose it. You will only be able to change your specialization within that advanced class, for example from DPS to healer. This specialization is called your combat proficiency and each advanced class has three to choose from. Players often swap between them for fun or to help fill the needs of their group when playing together.
    #6 On a free to play account, you will only have access to playing three races - humans, cyborgs and zabraks. There's a variety of ways to unlock the other races - but all of them are difficult to do on a free to play account. Your species does not have a major affect on the game, so pick the one that interests you the most. Subscribing unlocks more options, others can be unlocked through playing the game, and others like the Cathar and Togruta can only be purchased on the cartel market or from other players with credits. If you want to know more about unlocking races and your character’s appearance, I’ve got a video called “Character Creation & Appearance”, you might want to watch.

    #7 If you reach dark side level one or higher, your character’s appearance might start to change including their eye color and skin color...

      This might have been true when this video was made, but not anymore. If you have a companion and they are set to heal then it should be very easy, if not for a few of them time consuming, to do heroics. If you are dying then make sure you have a companion that is set to heal (it's the default option). You could still die if you are very new to MMO's, but then just make sure you only engage 1 group at a time in that case and you will be fine.

    The only thing I could add to any list is don't feel like you need to get married to your first character in any given class. You're going to make build and gearing mistakes, so don't do things like spending cartel coins and getting artifact unlocks until you know you're going to keep your character.

    I played this game when it first came out 7 years ago. At the time I had a potato computer and never really got to enjoy the graphics or multiplayer aspects of the game. Now that I have a better laptop, Im jumping back into the game tonight. I only ever played imperial agent and only made it to around level 40ish. Since I dont remember the story or even where I left off I am going to start a new character and start the journey all over again. I Will say I am a little intimidated though. I do not have any friends to play with and will be doing this solo. I hope that it is streamlined enough for me to figure it out and progress through the game. I have never played MMO's besides the little time in this game. I mainly want to experience the story modes and make some memories with this game before its taken down someday. I will never forget when I saw the trailers for this game 8 years ago. I was blown away and so excited! Anyways I just thought I would share my thoughts!

    • @alexanderkochling7516
      @alexanderkochling7516 6 років тому +14

      Swtorista is correct - there are multiple books based on the game:
      #1: REVAN: The story of Revan after his return to the Jedi Order and his quest to defeat the Emperor once and for all.
      #2: FATAL ALLIANCE: The Hutt Cartel brings together a number of unlikely representatives from both the Republic and the Empire, all with their own personal goals, for an auction. After discovering that the item in question may be the key to more wealth than any of them could ever have dreamed of, all eight characters band together in order to steal it for themselves. But the search leads to not only the treasure, but to dark forces that may destroy the entire galaxy, forcing the Republic and the Empire to grudgingly form an alliance to fight, or be destroyed.
      (All of the main characters are based on the 8 character classes from the game)
      #3: DECEIVED: The story of Darth Malgus before, during, and after the events of the SWTOR cinematic trailer of the same name, as well as his fight against a rogue Jedi named Aryn Leneer, who is the padawan of the Jedi Master Malgus slew in the trailer.
      #4: THREAT OF PEACE: A series of comics detailing the individual actions of both Jedi and Sith after the Treaty of Coruscant.
      #5: ANNIHILATION: The story of Theron Shan, the son of Satele Shan and Jace Malcolm (both in the "Hope" cinematic trailer) and how he must team up with a Twi'lek smuggler called Teff'ith and the Kel Dor Jedi Master Gnost-Dural (the same Jedi who narrates the Galactic History segments on the official SWTOR website) to infiltrate the Empire and destroy the Ascendant Spear, an Imperial super-weapon battle cruiser that is commanded by the cybernetic Darth Karrid, the former apprentice of Darth Malgus.
      There are also two books describing the game itself, rather than the stories of individuals in it, those being:
      Star Wars the Old Republic Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Epic Conflict
      And
      The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Old Republic

You'll probably just get the points from a pretty normal week. I'm a n00b [one toon level 38] and my mates get together once a week to do Heroics for a few hours and the rest of the week is maybe two or three hours and I am getting the points. This week I spent an hour exploring a planet and got the roll over point for Conquest and the rewards were nice.
