Syndicate Personnel Console + Syndicate Armor Crates Theory: It may also be related to this Seasons Objective that was found through datamining - but I do not see this listed on the official Season 2 page so I don't know if it will actually show up. (Thanks user DarkEye5!) "Syndicate Infighting: Create infighting within the Hutt Cartel, Exchange, and Black Sun by defeating syndicate members and planting incriminating rumors while disguised as a member of the syndicate.

Concise and easy to follow - another great vid. Started playing SWTOR for the first time ever a month ago, and your videos have been the most valuable source of information for a newcomer like me by far, old content and new alike. Keep up the good work :)
after a 2years break, time to come back and enjoy again your sweet voice and the quality of your videos. i am sure to know what i missed in your channel. ;) take care.
@Swtotista I can confirm that you can NOT speak to the Jawa if you are in a Group. My wife and I play together (always grouped) and nothing happened. Searched for days for an answer, it was a passing comment in this video you made that gave the answer. So I tested it yesterday and we were both finally able to speak to him. So I thought it be worth mentioning to get the word out, as i can't be the only one who had this problem. All the best, keep up the good work and hope you find this info useful 😁
@@matthewevans6251 Most likely reason is they are continuing that story line but couldn't get the original VA back so instead of having two different voices they just re-recorded the old lines with the new VA at the same time as the new lines. Unless the new VA is in the same league as Nolan North with being able to imitate other actors down to a tee then re-recording was the better option. (Seriously Nolan North is a god of VA. In a Destiny 2 mission they couldn't get the Drifter's VA in so they wanted Ghost to do an Imitation of Drifter for the Mission rundown. Nolan's first take was TOO good. It was a perfect imitation. They had him dial it back for the second take.)
From personal experience, I would DEFINITELY add Hutta to the list of planets with a nice drop rate for Syndicate Plans. And just want to mention that you will get credit for more reputation points from handing in 5 individual Syndicate Plans for the 25 point tokens (125 Reputation Points total) rather than exchanging 5 Syndicate Plans for one 100 reputation points token. You lose 25 points that way.
Great video again. Maybe as a next video idea you could make an updated solo story order guide. I really enjoyed that video and still use kt to this day. I know it's on ypur website as well but I really liked the video. No matter what you make I really like the content.
So a couple things I think should have been done for this video. perhaps a picture of where the Jawa was to talk to in order to get the Shadow Syndicate buff. And Knowing the different between how much influence you can get for Fen, since it is my understanding that us Preferred players cannot get enough gifts from the Galactic Seasons to level Fen all the way to 50.
@@Swtorista I'm good. I found it a little while ago through the powers of Google :) But thank you for the offer. Cause that conversation gets confusing when they mention something about the Jawa but not where he's located.
thanks for this Swtorista - I think watching your videos has made me like this game again. Having spent some time being confused by, and dismissive of the seasons stuff, i find i actually like doing some of the activities and at least the cosmetics are interesting. Poor game though! Have you seen what WOW players get when there's an 'expansion'? Or GW2? Swtor really cheaps out on it's players.
Nice, I collected a lot of these plans on Makeb that there was a message about the limit, but I can not exchange for reputation points - because it usually does not work and it shows "that the exchange of this currency would exceed the limit". It means that I will not collect more because I cannot replace because there is a limit on the limit - complete nonsense
When i tried to open the shadow of the undeworld in the inventory, a message popped up that said "you have already completed shadow of the underworld mission", even though i had never opened it. so i couldn't get the mission at all.
Is there any reason for waiting to claim all your seasons rewards later or was this just a video where you were playing so much you hadn't gotten around to it yet?
You need the special currency you buy stuff in the shop. As that currency is limited (or a result of your real money put into this game) I would not recommend unlocking this stuff. As it is mostly cosmetic, I would not unlock it either.
Hey Guys, I have a couple of annoying bugs and I'd appreciate the help cause bug reports are NOT for everyone...😆 Not sure where else I can ask for an assistance. First - armor/weapon icons. Some of them are gone. Just black square with colored frame🔳 Also, when I move mouse cursor on armor/weapon in my inventory I see only its parameters instead of seeing current armor/weapon's parameters as well. It's kinda annoying I have to open BOTH inv. and character inf. Second - perk icons in quickbar. It doesn't matter which one of them I use... they ALL "blinks" like I pressed all buttons together. Plus, I can't see cooling down progress. So I just have to smash buttons blindly because they all are telling me they are "ready"... but they are not. It happened in a previous versions too but got fixed by closing and starting game again. Now - it's not going away. That update SUX.... I hope you guys give some ideas.
oh man i screwed up i dont even know what those is i claim the first item on other character and then stop playing for a month then came back deleted that guy to make room for other char and the item to optain the quest just gone just like that im so stupid
anyone having an issue with the underworld syndicate token vendor on Narshada , I recently picked up the new companion mission completed the cutscene that tells you to go to the vendor to donate your underworld syndicate plans, I click the proper amount which I have 200 of them and I get a message back saying I have an exceeded limit of tokens and I'm unable to cash in my tokens or complete the mission I have reported this to the Q&A team and have been told there is completely no issues with the vendor and to type /bug and report the issue this way and I have now issued 4 bug reports over the last 2 weeks with no response from the bug team does anyone have this issue or know a work around to be able to donate the syndicate plans?
@@Swtorista I waited a week for the reset, the Q&A team had your same suggestion but so far I'm still not able to turn in the tokens and , still not hearing from the bug team, I wish they would reply and tell me if this is a bug or try to fix the issue, but thanks for replying so quickly that was really nice of you
@@TheAnonymousRaven when you get the two pieces icon set for the companion, one gives you the companion the other gives you the mission to find your companion on Narshadaa use the one to get the mission first , then go find him , he will give you the mission to go see the sales person choose how ever many tokens you have to sell once you have clicked those, choose I want to start another conversation wait till that finishes then choose the option to end the conversation then once this closes out you should have been able to cash in your tokens and get the upgrade tokens for your new companion, you can only do this once a week I believe every tuesday
@@JohnSmith-li6mn you didn’t get what I said. I got 0 as in no rep at all. Not that I turned in more then 200. My bad tho I fig it out. I was hitting ESC to exit after thinking I turned them in and it didn’t lol. Haven’t played in a long time and forgot you have to exit it the right way. All turned in and all good now
Couldn’t get through the whole video so I don’t know if it was answered but are all these rewards redeemable on all characters owned if already unlocked
All seasons rewards can be claimed only once. In the case of cosmetic rewards, you can pay 10 CC per item to unlock infinite copies for all your legacy. Gifts for Fen Zeil can be used only once so I suggest you pick a character with whom you want to level him to 50. Currencies and decorations are shared by all your legacy by default.
Dang, pity I didn't see this video earlier I thought it was another generic companion so I scrapped both items so I have screwed myself for the whole season
@@Swtorista , do you know what good is he? Does he have crew skill crit or efficiency bonus, or is he tied to liking some sort of behaviour or gifts? Or is he just your random no-good pistolero henchman?
@@TerraMariana Most, if not all companions are generally identical in what they actually do. The only different is influence level, and the season pass gives you boosters that can get Fen to a pretty high level practically instantly, so it's a quick and easy way to get a good performing companion for crew skill tasks and combat if you don't already have one. Like all event companions, you can acquire him as soon as you make a new character, so he can speed up the starting planet grind. He also hangs out in your player ship, which is neat.
My reaction to games (developers and / or publishers) that seem to take away game features that I liked, is to reduce my envolvement or stopping to play the game completely (I've already gotten quite some list of those). Thus I don't care about special events. I'll just do what I want to do. Here - I'm in it for the story (which I see in the first 3 chapters). Anything else does not stir much interest. My plans are almost destroyed by this update, because the features are relied on are removed. This will be my only complaint. I don't believe anything said on the forums or here will change what is done. Just one advice to those companies: You offer something to the players, but the players decide which offer to accept or reject.
They started using them again in 4.0 (Chapter IX of KOTFE to be precise) because SWTOR is already literally record-breaking in how many voice-lines it has. They only use this for side-content, you never see it in the main story. I would obviously prefer these be voice-acted, but it's simply easier for them to not be. To put it into perspective, these menus allow for them to add new conversations and quests with only 1 voice-actor. If they were using the old dialogue menus, they'd need new lines from all 16 main VAs every few months just for cutscenes that most people skip anyway. Also it's just more practical. The dialogue wheel doesn't let you loop dialogue, doesn't let you have more than 3 options, and you can't turn in multiple items either. This menu is more efficient for the purpose it serves. And i'm nostalgic for KOTOR so I don't really care either way. If these menus are the price to pay for new content, then so be it.
It is an old problem in SWTOR . What has come before is ignored. The shadow syndicate was something the imperial char needs to remember, but it is never touched upon or even mentioned. It was part of the planetary quest on Nar Shaddaa and any imp player ought to remember that. Sadly there is no mention in the expansion of this. Anyway, this "new" content is only for galactic seasons. And this will stop somewhen. I would have preferred to continue with the kubaz, perhaps even visiting the world of the queens. But that would have been too much to ask for, would it?
... Actually the Shadow Syndicate is referenced when you speak to the token vendor. You can say you remember them in your first interaction with her and ask what happened.

Whatever you do don't use Augment kits on gear you are going to upgrade as not only does the Augment disappear but the actual slot also.
When i tried to open the shadow of the undeworld in the inventory, a message popped up that said "you have already completed shadow of the underworld mission", even though i had never opened it.
so i couldn't get the mission at all.
last time i was this early theron shan was still apart of the alliance
Made some bad choices huh?
I had the lock box on a toon but I deleted that toon along with the Fen Zeil lock box token so I guess I'm screwed
Contact support! They might be able to help.
The amount of people who deleted the lockbox before using it is hilarious to me though lol.
Why is the kotor style dialogue system used for this? Can ea not get the voiced protags back anymore?
I think that's the idea, it's cheaper not to voice them, and the UI is just for fun.
as always, super helpfull
Is there any reason for waiting to claim all your seasons rewards later or was this just a video where you were playing so much you hadn't gotten around to it yet?

Party lazy and part I think I didn't want to go over my token limit.
My only gripe is the dye rewards, 10 of the same one? Just, why? But the ccoins kinda offset that
I figure its cus you can't get more copies elsewhere. So if you wanted to use it in multiple outfits... thats all you get is ten!
@@Swtorista it sucks that those dyes are not stackable like in the cartel pack stash. pure slot hogs lol😆

But I need to know…
HOW did you get your currency UI to show clean?! Mine shows a jumbled unreadable mess
It's a known bug, it just happens or doesn't happen. I close it and open it and sometimes it fixes
Actually I think it drops on just about any planet even tython and korriban at level 1-10

Does anybody know if you still can get him if he retired? I miss the season.
I have 100 syndicate plans but i cannot turn them in?
Is the Jawa Intel item reusable or does it get consumed after a single use?
are the alerts legacy bound? i picked up the item unknowingly on an alt that i barely ever use and didnt know what it was so used it...
or at least. i dont know where the purple box went. the alt got the mount but i cant find the purple box anywhere.
You should be able to get the item from your collections tab on any character in your legacy.

And well, they don't have spare money for extra voices, apparently

@@Reaper2004 It's not a throw back. This is literally the shitty launch dialog menu in 2012 before they updated it.
