This video is over a year old and you are still answering questions in the comments. Thats a dedication you rarely see on this plattform. So, keep up the great work!
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.
Well you can die, revive then use the time you got from 12 sec invicibility to advance to your objective. Hella useful when you have to interact with things. Stupid and inneficient yes but works for me
Being a Twilek Sith Warrior is weird. You get dialogue options treating Vette like crap for being a Twi'lek, and NPCs will do the same to her and not to you etc.
some heroics are weekly though, namely the starter planets, and an odd couple here and there from certain planets while the rest on the same planet are daily. also, bonus objectives are weekly only.
Swortista, is there a way to email you, I was a sub a few years ago. I subbed as soon as I saw the intro this is just what I needed to make my decision to jump back into the game but I have a questions about the game and what not...thanks Thomas
I haven't played this in almost 5 years. Decided to get back into it yesterday. Seems there is a lot of helpful info here, delivered systematically by a soothing voice rather that some erratic sugar hyped obnoxious teenager. Thanks. Subscribing.
I did the same, my wife finally agreed to play with me. But I'd not been on since 2016 so I have to relearn everything. I get a few extra bonuses as I was a day 1 expensive preorder subscriber. The videos have really helped as I can better teach my wife not having to learn on the fly. Subbed too .
I haven't seen much of a community in my return to SWTOR. I tried to farm some social points by teaming up for heroics on Dromund Kaas only to find out I got TWO social points for doing four heroics with a partner. General chat told me to queue for flashpoints, which does get them. But people are so worried about rushing through them that there's no community building.
Recently got into this game I've started out as a bounty hunter and your videos have answered most of my questions before I even thought of them myself and so far im really enjoying this game
I just subscribed for 60 days to check out more of what this game has to offer and every one of my questions have been answered by your videos, thank you for the dedication and hard work you've put into this channel - May the Force be with You!
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!
I played the crap out of KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2. Sadly, I never got to play SWTOR. Why? I had a Mac lmao. But now, I will have a Windows sometime next week so I can finally continue the storyline. Would you want to play?
You are seriously helping me so much. You have a great pace for learning on the go, and you're detailed without stretching information out for so long that it becomes unwatchable. The person below me said you're even still answering questions in the comments! You're amazing! Thank you so much for all of your work!!!!
@@thesenate5558 yeah i feel that 100% lol, let me know if you’re ever looking for someone to play with, i’m just starting out so i could use the help either way haha
New to TOR with the Steam release just 2 days ago, and this series has been ENORMOUSLY helpful. Thanks so much for creating such an in-depth and useful guide series!
I played this game day one for about a year. Just came back to it last week and I am loving it. Subscribed for one month to unlock all content and am just jamming along. They have added a ton of new systems and there is so much new content can't imagine not getting at least 500 hours of play time.
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.
Decisions, decision getting reared up and play again. I already have a 50 level Jedi but haven't played him in forever. I forgot all the story line quests, which sucks kinda. I guess I have to start anew, to emerge myself in the story again. Wonder if anything changed in the story from the past three years. As always thanks for the videos, they always bring more to SWTOR.
Just coming back after a while away old account is unretrievable so starting fresh glad to see content is still being put on youtube for new players thanks i look forward to playing and using your videos as guides
Just started playing swtor and i love it even if its pretty old. Amazon game und your videos are so incredible helpful! Nice quality and very good kontent. Thank you!!! Greetings from germany
After getting burnt out on WoW and coming back to SWTOR I don't think I could've gotten better info. Thank you, this has saved me from asking a lot of stupid question in guild chat.
A little tidbit I found: When you have multiple menu windows open, you can hold the escape key to close them all at once. I experimented by seeing how many menus I could have onscreen at one time, including the main esc menu, preferences, strongholds, inventory, character screen, hangar, and all the others I could think of. I held down the escape key and everything vanished.
Just put this video on for a friend who wanted to get into the game. Ive been playing for years and just now learned I could quickly switch between targeted enemies with tab.
Got into this game over a decade later, about a week ago, and I’m hooked. I’ve been switching between four playthroughs and the writing is top tier for me
NGL I am quite overwhelmed as a new player who just started playing swtor. There's just too much information to remember and just getting use to. These beginner's tips are very helpful right now. Thank you very much.
xDDDDDD its fucking shite mate. Controls are fucking clunky, slow and broken animation fucking sucks. Quest are god damn boring, amd the game is just one big low end shit.
I don’t know if you can still call it a game because their really is no challenge or point to anything in it any more. You can’t really accomplish anything.
Hello Rista, just wanted to say you are Amazing! Just started playing SWTOR about 2 weeks ago. still on my first Character a "Scoundrel Sawbones". the Information on this video alone will be of great benefit to me. can't wait to learn more. Thank you for all your effort!
I haven’t played this game in a long time and I really want to get back into it because I love it. I started with a smuggler gunslinger (which has a really fun story) and I’m currently playing as an imperial agent (currently being last time I played).
ok but this video is 4 years old ur a channel with 150k subs and ur STILL answering peoples questions man... u dont find people like this everyday you make this world more enjoyable thanks for sticking around
I just found this youtuber while looking for a game for me and my GF to play together shes a huge Bioware fan. So glad your still going on strong and making videos for old and new players alike.
Wow thanks for the tip at 1:30. I didn't know I could get a free 7 day subscription. I am returning to the game after several months when I get my new pc in 10 days. My brother in law still plays this game so I'll be able to get the free 7 day subscription! Can't wait to get back into PvP!
Cheers! Especially nice part is if you use his code, and then decide to subscribe I think within 14 days (I'm not sure the specifics) your brother in law gets so cartel coins too.
I remember when f2p could talk at level 1! That's how it was when I stared, but we had a...45 second "recharge rate" for how frequently we could post, but there was a lot opportunity to teach and learn on starter planets back then.
I have been playing this game on and off for 2 years, and have only one max level character, and many sub-30 characters. And your video taught me that not only that I can change my combat spec, but how/where to do that. thanks.
Just started playing this week and I'm really enjoying it. I was so happy to see the PC is voiced. Also your xbox controller video is so helpful. I almost gave up playing the game because I couldn't get the keybinds right until I found your video.
you earned a new sub! came from your reddit post about the bounties...been playin for 5 years now happy to see others enjoy swtor also :) ill be watchin!
Quick question: is this video still relevant to SWTOR in late 2019? Like, has much of the information changed, etc. Thanks for all the great work you do, I'm thinking about coming back from a very long break so trying to find out all that I can.
New Player here learning as I go and just wanted to say thank you for your videos you are so well spoken and sound a lot like Alison Hannigan... Thank you for helping me on my way UK user here... Peace :)
I’m here just to play the story with F2P because there’ll never be a KOTOR 3 thanks to EA and Disney. What books/comics should I read after I complete a class story?
Hey! There are some SWTOR books people really like - first one is called REVAN and is set inbetween KOTOR 2 and SWTOR I think. There's another really good one with Satele and Theron Shan.
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
@@Aizec300 That's my plan. Just started yesterday and will sub for one month once i've completed the F2P class stories. Not interested in the MMO part of the game...just want a good Star Wars RPG.
With two combat abilities you can now tank, heal and DD. I've been experimenting with them and so far have one stealth based CA "Combat Ability" seems to be the goal. Some more interesting builds such as Command/Operative have been fun to play too.
I am currently watching this video while the game downloads. very informative, and punctual. I just stopped playing FFXIV and figured I would give this a shot since it is free to play now. Thank you for the info, I am pumped to play now!^.^ cheers. . .
Thanks I'm on the Star forge server atm, chose to join the imperial legion as a sith sorcerer advance class madness^^ lvl 21 now. Think I found my new MMO fix^^ my characters name is Xrautuu Nhaa drop me a line guys! @@Swtorista
Agreed, so pumped right now!!! loved Kotor I&II and this feels like a mmo version of the universe captured in those games. . . I'm droolingXD@@Zaron_Gaming
@@itsarainyday2278 I would be happy to help you in game. If you join the republic side whisper Greykaiden. It's my jedi knight and I can help you understand some basics if you would like and also get you a great guild. No worries if you don't want to just a offer :) your right it kinda does capture the kotor universe though it's set a few hundred years after if I recall right
Well I've always been on and off with this game. So im not really new but never rly understood crafting and it's use, ive seen some tutorials from this channel. Not only was it great information, it was compact and gotta admit your voice is very nice to hear. Keep it up.
Played this game when it first came out back in 2011/2012. Recently started playing again to finish leftover character stories and I'm amazed how much has changed! Your videos have been very helpful so just wanted to say thanks - a lot!! Man, my lvl 55 chars have dated...
@@broncosuave7743 yeah these videos helped refresh my memory real quick it's so nice to have a video on a game that doesn't have someone randumbly yelling at me, Or just overly crude or annoying or what have you. it's refreshing.
I remember back when I played regularly, but I was able to complete some Heroic missions solo with my stealth agent. I tell you, stealth is VERY underestimated.
+1dir that's true, I was thinking more for legacy unlocks and items and banks and stuff. Forgot there are a few cartel market unlocks that are account wide
Never really knew what I was doing when I started out. Been playing for around three days now. Using your tips to help me along my way. Thanks for these vids, even if it's 3 years old these tips have still helped.
Finally, I thank you for making this videos. Your the only channel out there that actually explains things to me so I understand. Keep up your good work!
I wish I knew about you when I first started playing - =) I would like to know about command coins and improving armour lvl 70 and above. There are no more mods for me
Hey there, newly created Sith Juggernaut here, is this games community still alive and thriving? Always wanted a Start Wars game that's alive and the ability to play as more than just a Jedi. Thankyou in advance! :)
Glad to hear that. I bought subscriber access just to gain access to the DLC and the level cap, took that from your advice in one of your vids. Thankyou for your anwer too, HaiCy.
I've been planning on playing this game, the Star Wars the Old Republic Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Epic Conflict was too difficult for me to understand that I got lost easily, your videos have been helpful. It'd be nice if you streamed gameplay more too. This game and channel needs more support.
Hey there Noah, if you are level 70 or higher, I'm working on a guide explaining just that:swtorista.com/articles/how-to-gear-up-at-level-70-in-swtor/#Stats
Hey thought I'd send you some praise. I'm dyslexic. And reading through tons tons of writing on my monitor in this game was super daunting difficult task. Your videos helped me learn how to play this game and saved me a massive headache.
When I used to play this game I needed to do a bunch of side quests just to be at the right level, have they changed it so you don’t need to do all the side quests??
I found that logging in every day, even if just for 30 seconds, gave me some nice rewards. This is where I got some Jawa stuff that is talked about in the Companions guide. So THANKS! Swtorista.
Also, I try and get the weekly Conquest points. Under Log there is a Conquest option and this tells you what you need to rack up for some nice rewards. 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.
This video is over a year old and you are still answering questions in the comments.
Thats a dedication you rarely see on this plattform. So, keep up the great work!
Cheers! Really love the game and talking with people about it :)
@@Swtorista She is the only content creator for SWTOR btw.
So true
@@klarnorbert And doing a good Job of it :-)
I firmly believe without Vulkk, Swtorista etc the game would be dead.
Never heard of this game until it was added to Steam recently. Crazy cool they added your tip video to their launcher!
Can you play this on a Mac??
@@wichiewamirez5599 yes
@@wichiewamirez5599 yea but it’s kinda difficult to figure out how to unless you know your shit pretty well
Really? It was very popular when it came out. Welcome to the game
@@shawnclark9050 I just started playing last night, like it so far
"Heroic quests are designed for groups of 2-4 players."
Well, that explains my constant solo death.
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.
Zektor thanks I didn’t even know that ✊
Well you can die, revive then use the time you got from 12 sec invicibility to advance to your objective. Hella useful when you have to interact with things. Stupid and inneficient yes but works for me
"You can press Esc if you didn't like your dialogue choices"
Ffffff....
WAIT YOU CAN
I pressed esc in the first cutscene on my sith inquisitor several times because I thought it was to skip :(
No, not F, Esc.
"Except when it doesn't work, and you then ponder if it's worth re-rolling the toon again or not..."
Now you can shock Vette and not technically hurt her lol
Congrats on getting a link directly on the SWTOR Launcher! You deserve it for all the hard work you put into your channel.
Thanks! That was very cool to see!
Some of the dialogue changes if you pick an alien species depending on class, etc, Just small little things but just thought I'd put it out there
Yes, they're fun! They just don't have as huge as an affect as say in WoW with the starting areas.
like the zabrak being an invention of the rakata in their quest to get back in touch with the force
Sometimes it glitches. Like how Pureblood Sith are considered "human" in the Republic, even though they're anything but. :)
Being a Twilek Sith Warrior is weird. You get dialogue options treating Vette like crap for being a Twi'lek, and NPCs will do the same to her and not to you etc.
some
F2P and Preferred players now have a 1 million credit cap, access to Quick travel ability and Medical probes for respawn without cartel coins.
plus, they can buy all but the final item holding upgrades, which is just tremendous.
What? 1 Milion? Thanks, I didn't realize
Do lots of side missions at the beginning, quick and easy ones. Then you won’t have to grind before you do a hard story mission above your level
thier are no more hard story missions
Lord Vader game is real easy u can go straight through he story with a companion easily
@@sethterwilliger9434 Well.. There techincally is. You can set your diffi ultimate options
Mateo Mateo act the difficulty option doesn’t apply to class story missions only applies to content starting with the eternal empire
UPDATE: Part 2 is up! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/BkjVfsu6U2I/v-deo.html
Also heroics are daily, lol.
Heroics once per week? Don't you mean once per day? Lol
Yes. Derp. lol.

some heroics are weekly though, namely the starter planets, and an odd couple here and there from certain planets while the rest on the same planet are daily. also, bonus objectives are weekly only.

i remember when f2p could talk at lvl 10...dunno why it was necesary to change it
I remember when f2p could talk at level 1! That's how it was when I stared, but we had a...45 second "recharge rate" for how frequently we could post, but there was a lot opportunity to teach and learn on starter planets back then.
what is it now?
level 25
Money.
I have been playing this game on and off for 2 years, and have only one max level character, and many sub-30 characters. And your video taught me that not only that I can change my combat spec, but how/where to do that. thanks.
Ah, so this is the "getting started playlist" they meant on the download screen.
Just started playing this week and I'm really enjoying it. I was so happy to see the PC is voiced. Also your xbox controller video is so helpful. I almost gave up playing the game because I couldn't get the keybinds right until I found your video.
glad to hear you got your controller working via the guide!
you earned a new sub! came from your reddit post about the bounties...been playin for 5 years now happy to see others enjoy swtor also :) ill be watchin!
Cheers!
I love the way the City maps are made like Nar shadaa and Coruscant they are just so detailed
Quick question: is this video still relevant to SWTOR in late 2019? Like, has much of the information changed, etc.
Thanks for all the great work you do, I'm thinking about coming back from a very long break so trying to find out all that I can.
Yes!!! Only a few things have changed, mostly to do with the UI being moved around a bit
@@Swtorista Thank you for replying! I honestly don't know many content creators as passionate as you about your community.
New Player here learning as I go and just wanted to say thank you for your videos you are so well spoken and sound a lot like Alison Hannigan... Thank you for helping me on my way UK user here... Peace :)
I’m here just to play the story with F2P because there’ll never be a KOTOR 3 thanks to EA and Disney. What books/comics should I read after I complete a class story?
Hey! There are some SWTOR books people really like - first one is called REVAN and is set inbetween KOTOR 2 and SWTOR I think. There's another really good one with Satele and Theron Shan.
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
If you managed to finish every class' story, then I'd suggest getting a one-time sub and do the expansions. They are very interesting in my opinion.
@@Aizec300 That's my plan. Just started yesterday and will sub for one month once i've completed the F2P class stories. Not interested in the MMO part of the game...just want a good Star Wars RPG.
KotOR 3 ever happened?
This was excellent! It's nice to find a tip video that's (relatively) up to date, clear to understand, and visually engaging. Great work!
Cheers! I had a tough time finding something similar when I was researching around before making this :)
I love this game so much I hope I can still play when Im old :,D
With two combat abilities you can now tank, heal and DD. I've been experimenting with them and so far have one stealth based CA "Combat Ability" seems to be the goal. Some more interesting builds such as Command/Operative have been fun to play too.
I am currently watching this video while the game downloads. very informative, and punctual. I just stopped playing FFXIV and figured I would give this a shot since it is free to play now. Thank you for the info, I am pumped to play now!^.^ cheers. . .
Enjoy it :) it's a blast
Have fun, hope the install goes well!
Thanks I'm on the Star forge server atm, chose to join the imperial legion as a sith sorcerer advance class madness^^ lvl 21 now. Think I found my new MMO fix^^ my characters name is Xrautuu Nhaa drop me a line guys! @@Swtorista
Agreed, so pumped right now!!! loved Kotor I&II and this feels like a mmo version of the universe captured in those games. . . I'm droolingXD@@Zaron_Gaming
@@itsarainyday2278 I would be happy to help you in game. If you join the republic side whisper Greykaiden. It's my jedi knight and I can help you understand some basics if you would like and also get you a great guild. No worries if you don't want to just a offer :) your right it kinda does capture the kotor universe though it's set a few hundred years after if I recall right
Been YEARS since I last played, just discovered this playlist. I think I might start a new character and follow along with this series just for fun.
When you have to go back to the ship I use the Galaxy map anyways because you spawn at the space dock so it isn't far too go to my ship
aw Show exploration is huge.. used to be very important for gaining companion affections too

Well I've always been on and off with this game. So im not really new but never rly understood crafting and it's use, ive seen some tutorials from this channel. Not only was it great information, it was compact and gotta admit your voice is very nice to hear. Keep it up.
I have always wanted to play this game since 2012, but I never did 😪 I am afraid that I will never be able to 😭
@MazinSami ~ You can play, as a FREE-To-Play Player?
Played this game when it first came out back in 2011/2012. Recently started playing again to finish leftover character stories and I'm amazed how much has changed! Your videos have been very helpful so just wanted to say thanks - a lot!! Man, my lvl 55 chars have dated...
Is this video still applicable in 2019? I'm a brand new player.
Yep! Only a very small amount of things have changed, mostly where they are in the interface.
Swtorista wow you’re still replying that’s crazy. I’ll be starting the game up soon so I’m just gonna watch some of your videos.
@@broncosuave7743 yeah these videos helped refresh my memory real quick
it's so nice to have a video on a game that doesn't have someone randumbly yelling at me, Or just overly crude or annoying or what have you. it's refreshing.
@@Didi_Meow_Records and everyone replies general kenobi if you say hello there. Unlike another SW game that wishes to stay anonymous (BF2)
Lol I started in quarantine☠️☠️
I remember back when I played regularly, but I was able to complete some Heroic missions solo with my stealth agent. I tell you, stealth is VERY underestimated.
was rather if you just know it from back in the days hm?
i tell you, thinking is VERY underestimated
An additional tip: Your account name is permanent so choose wisely.
oh no, my account name is "cleptofungus"
I’m from the West Coast and I’m on the Star Forge server! I met some awesome friends this way! :)
There are things that can be account wide (applying to all servers and characters). Maybe not for free to play?
+1dir that's true, I was thinking more for legacy unlocks and items and banks and stuff. Forgot there are a few cartel market unlocks that are account wide
Never really knew what I was doing when I started out. Been playing for around three days now.
Using your tips to help me along my way. Thanks for these vids, even if it's 3 years old these tips have still helped.

Finally, I thank you for making this videos. Your the only channel out there that actually explains things to me so I understand. Keep up your good work!
Cheers! Looking forward to eventually making part 2 :D
I wish I knew about you when I first started playing - =) I would like to know about command coins and improving armour lvl 70 and above. There are no more mods for me
Over my 8 years of playing this game you still learn me stuff xD how is even possible, keep up the great work and i wish you well :)
Just started again yesterday
Welcome back!
Swtorista thank you
How you liking It
I never really played SWTOR seriously(just here and there, off and on subscriber) but this was a nice refresher course for me. Thanks! :D
What, I prefer that *other* ending to this ending? xP
a level 70 helped me do a friggin group event today. really awesome. so far my community experience is great
Hey there, newly created Sith Juggernaut here, is this games community still alive and thriving? Always wanted a Start Wars game that's alive and the ability to play as more than just a Jedi. Thankyou in advance! :)
Yes it is especially with the new movie and show and the fact that there's more to come I don't think it'll be dying soon.
Hey! Between the expansion and all the new Star wars stuff the game is doing well right now.
Glad to hear that. I bought subscriber access just to gain access to the DLC and the level cap, took that from your advice in one of your vids. Thankyou for your anwer too, HaiCy.
@@Connor.97 keep in mind many players are hanging on their alliance base so the fleet is less populated
Hello Swtorista,
i just started to play SWTOR after years again and found your very informative videos. keep up the good work *thumbs up*
cheers!
im trying to get some cartel coins in the archivements but i can't seem to complete them im doing my class story missions idk what im doing wrong
Thank you so much for explaining the server merge in such short sentences.
Now its two years
old
I've been planning on playing this game, the Star Wars the Old Republic Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Epic Conflict was too difficult for me to understand that I got lost easily, your videos have been helpful. It'd be nice if you streamed gameplay more too. This game and channel needs more support.
my Question is how do i know what Enchantments and Mods to Put on to Gear and Weapons
i am running a Juggernaut Vengence dps
Hey there Noah, if you are level 70 or higher, I'm working on a guide explaining just that:swtorista.com/articles/how-to-gear-up-at-level-70-in-swtor/#Stats
Hey thought I'd send you some praise. I'm dyslexic. And reading through tons tons of writing on my monitor in this game was super daunting difficult task. Your videos helped me learn how to play this game and saved me a massive headache.
That's really nice to hear! Glad to help

Dead meme i know.
You're doing great work! For one thing got me enthused to play TOR again after having fatiguequit for years. Have a wookie yell of approval on me
Cheers! RRRRGGGGGHGGGGRRRRRRR!
When I used to play this game I needed to do a bunch of side quests just to be at the right level, have they changed it so you don’t need to do all the side quests??
YES they have. You can mostly only do the two main questlines and be fine.
Swtorista SWEET!!!
Thank you, as someone who just got a machine fast enough to play I am glad to find this resource.
Congrats on the new computer! :)
I literally just bought a laptop so I can play this haha
i remember in 2015 i would see Swtorista's videos pop up, then each new year, Swtorista would make a new video haha.
tfw cute girl teaches me how to play mmo FeelsGoodMan
I found that logging in every day, even if just for 30 seconds, gave me some nice rewards. This is where I got some Jawa stuff that is talked about in the Companions guide. So THANKS! Swtorista.
Also, I try and get the weekly Conquest points. Under Log there is a Conquest option and this tells you what you need to rack up for some nice rewards. 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.
Did they add mandolorian armor yet?
Yeah there's tons.
mandolorian
I just started playing, great game, and great channel! I can see how you evolved from your older videos, keep it up!
Cheers! And welcome to the game!
