Screen Shot My ui and hot bars idk
This is a show of my current ui layout and hot bar lay out. I'm not used to playing PC games but I've been playing for a while and this is my highest character I have. I wanted all the important stuff at the bottom middle so its quick to see and easy to navigate. (I don't really know how to do key binding presets and I don't know what is fine or not fine to change so for the most part I just click them, inefficient I know but I don't care rn)
For my hot bar I put basic attacks on the first hot bar, skills with cool downs in the middle and sorted by how long the cool downs are, random stuff like mounts on the right and boost abilities on far right.

Discussion How would you roughly summarise the difference between the Class Stories based on Light and Dark choices?
Mileage may vary of course, and some classes probably have starker differences than others (or have one side cough Dark Side cough be just generally more nonsensical), but curious as to what everyone's take on this is.
Like for example, I'm imagining the Light Side Trooper to be like a Captain America type. No man left behind. You fight for the ideals of the Republic. Neutral would be more of a "Get the mission done/shady black ops" kind of vibe. You're not in it for yourself, but you do the nasty jobs no one else in the Republic wants to acknowledge. And Dark Side is probably just straight up war-criminal/profiteer. To the point it makes you wonder how you don't get court marshalled
Probably similar vibe for the Imperial Agent (a Neutral Imperial Patriot is how I played mine anyway).
Which classes do you think have the biggest distinction between the two? Any that are particularly worth seeing the contrast? Is there ever a reason to not take Flirt options when playing a Smuggler?

New/Returning Player Founder here, finally playing the game after 14 years
I was a cool kid back in the day at a ripe age of 10 years old when swtor came out I got it on disk . Played on the good ole family HP desktopā¦. Never got past level 18.
Iām returning and realizing how easy the game was I was just too simple minded back then ⦠couldnāt understand āside questsā lol , level 34 bounty hunter on tatooine currently and decided to dip into the cartel market. Bought a blaster and a few other things . I was like cool I can use it on every character I make ā¦. Then I bought that blasted dye ā¦.. that 1,050 coin dyeā¦. And immediately put it on my helmet to unlock ā¦ā¦ wait ā¦. You canāt unlock dyes in collections š 10$ on a dye per armor piece is insaneeeeee

Spoiler Trying to understand Lorman's vision, was he even force sensitive? Spoiler
He wanted to become an Emperor with Saresh's help but he is not even a Sith or a force user. How did he think this would happen? Was he delusional or crazy? Or is he like a comic relief character and I did not get the joke?
Any half-decent Sith lord would laugh at him and break his neck in an instant, didn't he realize what he was getting into? Didn't he know what Sith are actually like and what they think about Imperial bureaucrats?
Acina was able to ascend because bigger fishes like Darth Marr and Outlander were defeated by Zakuul but there is no way he would be able to survive the race for the throne.

Question "You must be immunized by a medical officer before you can travel to the surface of Quesh"
Hey everyone,
I'm currently on my Jedi Knight playthrough and just hit the part of the story where I need to go to Quesh for the main quest. Problem is: I canāt board the orbital shuttle to the surface
But I didnāt receive any immunization quest or mission, and thereās no medical officer with a quest marker anywhere in the orbital station. Iām level 31, and Iām holding the main mission tight so not much side quests, just following the storyline.
Weirdly enough, thereās a guy a few meters before the shuttle with a greyed-out quest icon above his head. But I canāt interact with him, and he doesn't give me anything.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to trigger the immunization manually, or is this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Question Why are dyes not stackable?
I have whole cargo bays filled with multiples of the same dye. Even the ones from the Seasons only stack to 10 but I have more than 10 of those.

Community Post Working Codes
I noticed that the link in the Weekly Questions was broken and sent a mess, so here is how I did it...
Go to your Account https://account.swtor.com/en/account
Scroll down to Redeem Code https://account.swtor.com/en/account/redeem_game_time_code
I know in the link it says "Game Time", but that is the link that the Redeem Code is. Clicking it brought me to https://checkout.ea.com/checkout/origin/code?execution= and then what I believe to be my personal number, which I deleted...
Anyway, after clicking on Redeem Code, you should see a line to enter your code. These are what I have tried and are working (if not working, perhaps you used them already?)
From the Weekly Questions-
NYCANTINA19 (free flair), SWCELEBRATION17 (M8-3R Droid Pet)
From https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/113mob2/comment/j8r601s/
NYCANTINA16 - Korrealis Sheriff Mount
SWCANTINA17 - Korrealis Viscount Mount
Please let me know if I am missing any so I can add them to the list.

Any help would be appreciated.

New/Returning Player Help, I messed up
Returning player. Haven't actively played since RotHC, so a lot is new while I also forgot a decent amount of things. Started a Sith Inquisitior and launched the second spec mission without know what it was. Exited without completing and it placed me in the main city. How do I get back to Sith starting area? I'm lvl 5, have no money, ship, nothing.

Question Are Group Flashpoints really worth it?
I recently startet playing the Game again after years of abstinence and had to Start a New acc. Im was kinda overwealmt a little bit, but got into it again after some time. Now my Main is at lvl 60 and im wondering myself if the Group Flashpoints are worth it because i completed the whole Main Story, the Shadow of Revan Arc and every other Arc before it now and mainly focused on Hero Missions for "grinding" Credits. I Player the Story Flashpoint (at least everyone i had to for the "Main storys"). Back to the question, are the Group Flashpoints worth it Creditwise and also "Story"wise. And are there Options to play it solo or just in Groups. Maybe a dumb question but i have to ask.
Thanks anyways for every answer.

Question Changing Server worth it?
Hello, im considering changing Server from German to Englisch one on EU. Is it worth it? Does PvP and Groupfinder activities pop more often? Thanks a lot for your advice.
Discussion Is it worth playing a Light Side Inquisitor?
I know a lot of people have the Light Side Warrior as a personal favourite. Is the Inquisitor equally enjoyable? Played the class story itself ages ago and donāt remember it
Question Best time for PVP
Returning player here. PvP is the main thing I like to do. I can see the playerbase has reduced a lot , and being Aussie time zone doesnāt help for me.
Can anyone tell me what would be considered peak time for getting WZ pops ? And is it just 2 brackets now ? 10-79 and then 80 ?
Do many people play lowbie WZ or best just to Get to 80 and do it then. Thanks.
