Mind you, I don't know (yet) whether anyone actually <i>buys</i> them for that price, hehe.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-66427610293690926902019-05-30T21:01:38.217+01:002019-05-30T21:01:38.217+01:00It's not really about triangulation I think, y...It's not really about triangulation I think, you just follow the green pointers as best as you can, even if they sometimes seem to lead you in circles.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen anyone describe the seeker droid missions as seeming exciting and important, hehe. I do think that in terms of indicating importance the purple/gold distinction works well enough, but general guidances is definitely something that's lacking. I often see people ask about what order they are supposed to do things in, because the game doesn't make it at all obvious. Just another side effect of how fast its levelling is these days, as the missions will just pile up in your log and on the fleet faster than you can complete them.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-56389122977883835772019-05-29T23:14:01.556+01:002019-05-29T23:14:01.556+01:00I still have several speeder parts in my bank.

I haven't figured out how to triangulate using the feedback the droid gives, assuming that's even possible, and my random digs have so far proved fruitless. I will carry on when I happen to see the message, though. It's kind of relaxing.<br /><br />The real issue isn't whether or not the effort is worth it but the way the Missions just appear with no real explanation. What's more, the way they're presented makes them seem somewhat important and exciting, considerably more so, in my opinion, than 90% of the narrative Missions. If you hadn't popped onto my comment thread with some background and context I would have no idea these things were added as filler to keep regulars quiet during a content drought.<br /><br />Every MMORPG does it, though. GW2 and EQ2 both have plenty of legacy content that was added at various times when things were otherwise quiet. Most of it never gets removed unless it was specificaly designed to have a use-by date, which is good because often it's fun content and deserves to stay in the game but it would be nice if someone thought to add a short contextual explanation once the activities are no longer current so latecomers can have a clue what's going on.<br /><br />That said, I am being particularly stubborn in SWTOR about not looking things up out of game unless I get totally stuck. Usually I don't hesitate to look for instructions and walkthroughs at the first hurdle but somehow it seems to be more fun at the moment stumbling around trying to figure stuff out on the fly. I'm sure it won't last...Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-20681744859616478022019-05-29T13:26:40.887+01:002019-05-29T13:26:40.887+01:00Yeah, that's what I figured, which is why I wa...Yeah, that's what I figured, which is why I was surprised that someone <i>had</i> bothered to remove all those low level gear pieces from the loot table (except for the "special treasure"). I was grateful for that though; I'm pretty sure that's why it felt like I was finding more decent items than I had expected.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-72386706319059468152019-05-29T12:34:34.515+01:002019-05-29T12:34:34.515+01:00It hasn't really been touched for a while I th...It hasn't really been touched for a while I think.
