    [TOR] Cross-Play: Simply playing both factions, geared.

    in The Old Republic Guides

    Posted

    Do you want to play TOR on both sides without having to worry about getting the gear you need and getting pissed about lockouts, gear, comms and what characters have what gear, who needs what and where? Halve the need of gear you'll be going for. With legacy gear, legacy bank and outfitter this is now possible, more tolerable and a lot cheaper. The goal here is to gather enough gear, mods or comms for the character class groups you want to play. Class groups are the cross faction groups of similar class, like Jedi Shadow and Sith Assassin. So, choose a role and a class group you want to earn that gear for.


     


    Class / Role


    So, whether you've been playing a while or a little, the goal is to figure out what class you enjoy and in what role. So, I'm going to choose Assassin/Shadow Damage. I have a max level of both, so I don't have to worry about leveling them up, even if you don't, you don't have to worry about leveling them up right away, because the armor will be there available when you do get there as you work on it. Choosing a class set across factions is recommended because they use the same stats and recommended builds, this provides less confusion and makes switching and combat on both sides seamless.


     


    Legacy Gear and the Outfitter

    Now we need to get you a set of legacy gear. There are several locations you can acquire some, but it can take some work. Other players may have available to them legacy pieces due to veteran awards. Bounty Brokers, Gree and other event equipment may be legacy. The legacy gear will be your stat gear, It's where you're going to move/place/replace all your mods from now on. Now get yourself a look for those outfitter tabs and look how you want without worrying about what the legacy gear looks like.

     


    Acquisition


    With this path, you can use every character and every lockout on those characters to get yourself gear and comms. Just be sure when you're shopping you grab the gear and comms you need for the role and class group you are working on. If you don't recall what you have exactly at that moment, write it down, shop another time when you know, or just go look at it in your legacy bank. Yep, this guide recommends that you store your gear in your legacy bank when you're not using it. Remember though, once you pull mods out, it binds so you won't be able to sell it back. So, I'll be focusing on acquiring gear for Shadassassin DPS. It doesn't matter what character i'm playing, whenever I get gear or comms, I'll use it for my primary objective of improving that set of characters.


     


    Finalization


    To really get my gear going, I'll have my legacy gear stored in my legacy bank and I'll consolidate everything there. All the best mods for the roll/s I'm aiming for go into the legacy gear and go back into my legacy bank (unless I intend to use it then). Once it's done, I'll have a set of armor and weapons available to both my characters through the bank, the only separate thing I'd have to worry about on both characters is implants and earpieces. Don't forget to re-store your armor, or just remember where you last had it, there aren't many options of where it could be.


     


     


    Be safe and have fun!

    Ordo's Random Training Fun Times

    in Guides

    Posted · Edited by Xoza

    I wanted to run recruitment training this week, but I'm at work during our regular time. Odin, could you run a 'fun time' gaming something? The educational portion will be at 4pmCST Sunday. The game on Saturday will be your choice of our expanses. We will be actively practicing recruiting and sharing some ideas in google drive documents.


     


    Next week, we'll be back on track!


    Voice Attack

    You don't have any voice recognition software for windows? What version are you using?


    >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Gl9hIOKy4


     


    As long as it learns from you it should operate or figure out what you're wanting to do. You can set up your own commands, it'll also show you what it thinks you're saying so you could base your commands off that.


     


    The video is an example of what can be done with standard speech recognition. Voice Attack just uses it's recognition software to process additional commands.

    So, after seeing Elite Dangerous' voice commands, I decided to look up more availability in voice commands for gaming overall. I found Voice Attack (what everyone uses in Elite Dangerous with a custom profile anyway), tested it for one day then bought it. Only $8 anyway.

     

    You can set up a ton of voice commands, additionally it learns from your commands and you can refine it and teach it, since it uses your system's voice recognition software to do it.

     

    You can set up macro's, direct commands to do anything from launching programs, launching missiles, in-game commands, out of game commands, mouse macros and a LOT more. Additionally you can set up responses, text to speech, audio files and more. It can be used simply to very complex.

     

    If you want to check it out, you can for free for 21 days (20 commands, 1 profile).

     

    I named my "bot" T.I.A. Originally TIA was a sub bot to Mercury, our Astra Training Instructor Assistant that I coded to read material and do a few other basic commands for Ordo. Now, she's T.I.A. Tactical Interface Assistant...  :grin:

     

     

    Share below your commands, how you have it set up if you use it.

    Looking for a new monitor

    in Tech

    Posted

    Used to use 2, LG 21" Widescreen, only have one now that I use (other one stopped working years ago) and don't turn on my extended monitors unless I really need them. My current LG will be an extension. But I'm looking for something larger (27" probably) now. Anyone have any recommendations?


    • Name brand or semi-name brand. (I've been looking at LG, Samsung and AOC)

    • Bigger the better. (likely to be around 27")

    • Higher resolution the better. (Within the price range, it'll probably just be 1080)

    • No more than $200

    • Lower ms the better. (prefer 4 or less)

    What are your experiences? What do you have?
