Just thought I'd show this off since this area is surprisingly tucked away and there may be people who don't know about it.

I'm doing one of these for each class, and this made me realize that the Smuggler has SO MANY temporary allies! There's even a couple I left off the list that could technically qualify!

Here we have Marshall Cavarat, Lokir-ka, Miel, Nariel, Vaverone, Numen, Vaz, and Viidu!

Like title says I am brand new and looking for some friends to play with

I'm super happy with how this turned out. Main pieces are Fitted Echani Trackers top, Imperial Officer's belt, G.A.M.E. officials pants.

I really really wish the saboteur storyline had more of an impact and consequences on the story. I keep thinking back to 7.9 and how happy I was it was mentioned, only for Anri and the mandalorians to defend us and essentially push it aside.

I know this game can only have so many branching options before it gets crazy, but this one feels like it should have had more consequences rather than the empress/emperor making snarky comments about it. It felt really disappointing.

I hope that 8.0 will start off with consequences or anything of the sort, (imprisonment, etc), just anything at all would be nice.
Did any of you guys feel the same??

This isn't true.

I've just finished the story on my Smuggler and i'm not even level 50 (pic 1 and 2)

I had :

- xp boost on all the time (pic 1)

- a max level guild with max bonus xp

- tier 3 legacy xp story mission (pic 3)

I did the main story and companion stories only (pic 4).

The only extra things i did are :

- all the Ord Mantell missions including Heroics

- most of Coruscant missions but no heroics

I didn't do a single dynamic event or FP.

Is the xp nerf next patch really deserved ?

I guess i'm doing FPs till 50 now.

Edit : im not f2p, im currently subbed.

Edit 2 : I only did class stories, not planetary stories.

Vote for your favorite storyline! Tatooine Planet Arc includes both factions' storylines, uncovering the buried mysteries of Czerka. And the prologue for Sith Warrior includes both Korriban and Dromund Kaas.

And I'm loving it

With Jennifer Hale as a space trooper leading a motley crew of aliens, too, I keep expecting the Illusive Man to pop out of nowhere sometimes haha

I've been thinking about getting into SWTOR as my first ever MMO, but before investing a lot of time into it, I'd like to hear from people who actively play the game.

Since SWTOR has been around for so long, I'm curious whether it's still worth starting in 2026 or if I'm getting into it too late. I know the game still receives updates, and with 8.0 in development, there seems to be more planned for its future. At the same time, I don't know how healthy the game is these days or what its long-term outlook looks like.

A few things I'd like to know:
How active is the playerbase nowadays? Is it easy to find people to play with, join guilds, and participate in group content?

Do you think SWTOR has a sustainable future, or are you concerned about its long-term support?

Is there enough content to keep a new player occupied for a long time?

For those who've played for years, does the game still feel worth investing in, or has it become harder to stay interested?

Would you recommend starting now, especially with the upcoming 8.0 update, or would it make more sense to wait?

I'm happy to start as a free-to-play player and spend money later if I genuinely enjoy the game. I just want to feel reasonably confident that it's a game I can stick with for years rather than invest in something that's nearing the end of its life.

For longtime players, would you personally recommend getting into SWTOR in 2026? I'd appreciate honest opinions about the current state of the game, its community, and where you think it's heading over the next few years.

It's time to pick your second choice for a new romanceable character! Wanna smooch a Jedi master? A horny scoundrel? Perhaps an old, cranky overseer? Comment below!

After a lot of bumps, jumps and rolls, my brother and i finally managed to reach the ruins in Kaas City, greeting us with a unique view !

I’ve pretty much played FPS and extraction shooters my entire gaming life, but lately they've just stopped hitting the same. After a long day at work, I'd rather chill, explore, and grind toward something without constantly having to sweat. I have been getting out of my comfort zone and trying a few different games here and there like Warframe which i’m currently having fun with, i tried Once Human but could not get into it, it felt too difficult.

I've been looking into SWTOR because I'm a Star Wars fan and remember loving the LEGO games as a kid. The story, world, and companions really appeal to me, but I'm also curious about the MMO side of things, especially loot, gear progression, and grinding. I enjoy having something to work toward and getting rewarded for putting time into a game.

For those who've played SWTOR for a while, how satisfying is the loot and progression system compared to bigger MMOs like WoW? Is there a worthwhile endgame grind and plenty of goals to chase, or is SWTOR more focused on the story and leveling?

I'm also curious about the holiday and special events. I've heard about things like Life Day, the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event, and other seasonal activities. Are they actually fun and worth coming back for, with exclusive rewards and things to work toward? How do SWTOR's events compare to WoW's, and does the game do a good job of keeping things fresh throughout the year?

Overall, is SWTOR still worth getting into in 2026? How active is the community, and is there enough content to keep you playing long-term? I'd love to hear from longtime players, especially how it compares to WoW for someone completely new to MMOs.

Any advice or honest opinions would be appreciated!

Started as a Jedi Knight as suggested on this sub, just finished tython, absolutely loving the game, the story, the characters, the world, but seriously, how do i understand the game as a game? The UI feels confusing and overwhelming, i have no idea what levels even mean or what buttons to press, the game is amazing, but I have no idea how to actually play vs just mashing buttons

Apple is ending rosetta (essentinally the translator for intel-based apps like swtor on macbooks) On MacOS 28

Does broadsword plan to develop a new launcher for swtor on macbook or is this the end for mac players?

I was a purely solo story interested player on and off over last few years and played through several of the classes to end. Only two things made me put it down which were having NO clue how to find people in UK time to do multiplayer flashpoints/raids with and that the actual grinding through the combat in story mode felt extremely boring after a while.

It kind of didn’t matter at all what moves you did and you couldn’t really die as companions heal you.

I’ve seen 8.0 looks to bring in story difficulty modes - one will be like at launch. Do you know if this will make story combat in the world require care and attention and feel actually rewarding?

I want a game to feel like I earned success at the end of combat encounters and like it was a challenge that I used my brain to win (why I love zero company!)

Dude's whole upper body but his head seems to be just cybernetic, no organic parts visible. Where the heck is his heart and lungs?

What would your take be on an introduction of a token for 'sub play time'. To my limited understanding, it allows blizzard slightly more control of the dollars per gold in the real-money trading sites. Means you don't need a whole new hypercrate worth of content being released if a mr. moneybags just wants a quick flip. And those who do constantly flip cartel coins for gold have a steadier source of credits.

Would this still be a bad idea given the state of the economy? Would all the billionaires who've hung on to their cash abuse it, and would the game just lose more people paying for a sub? Would its implementation leave a bad taste in your mouth? Would there be any upside to (probably) more players being able to participate in ops and stuff, and the boost in player raid activity?

Been enjoying pathlerix gold token challenge videos and would really enjoy something like that in swtor.
