#swtor patch day

[greyias]

Okay, I launched the first cutscene I'm into it, going along and then the camera pans over

"Oh hey look, we're hanging out with Rass and--"

"goddamnit I forgot to change her back into her normal outfit ESCESCESC"

Change outfits. Get ready to start the cutscene again. And then

I'm getting nowhere at this rate. As usual.

Fluffy February 2024 Master List

Huzzah! I wrote 29 things for Fluffy February (ok, 28 things plus one very fluffy chapter for my bigger fluffy fan fic).

Highlights: I developed my canon for both Lenn Teraan and Cole Cantarus. I wrote another Akaavi/Mako piece (someone needs to write them an epic Carbonite Years fic). I posted my most explicit work so far (is that a low light?). Dr. Oggurobb has decided to weigh in a lot lately.

I'll post the round up list, and then reblog with the AO3 link.

Snow -- 10 ATC - the smuggler crew lands on Alderaan

Eavesdrop -- 22 ATC -- Someone is spying in the cantina.

Entertain -- 21 ATC -- Theron and Eva do an intel drop at a casino.

Learn -- 10 ATC -- Eva learns how to dance from Lenn Teraan.

Planet -- 29 ATC (chronologically "now" in canon) -- Eva buys a planet. Because.

Fire -- 36 ATC -- Eva, Theron, and the big family on Odessen roast marshmallows.

Recovery -- 24 ATC -- Eva recovers from the Nathema Conspiracy. Risha makes sure of it. CW for untended anorexia.

Smile --over the years -- Theron's teeth may not be real, but his smiles are.

Storm -- 5 ATC -- Eva meets her first magnetic storm.

Care -- 21/22 ATC -- After Theron is injured, Eva makes sure he gets the care he needs.

Quest -- 39 ATC -- Theron and his band of adventurers... need to go to bed.

Discipline -- 40 BTC -- the Grand Admiral headcanon/backstory that's been rattling around.

Splurge -- 25 ATC -- Eva buys Theron a gift that isn't exactly what he wanted.

Free space! I added to Elysium, for a little while.

Craft -- Carbonite Years -- Akaavi knits something for Mako for the first time; in terms of the relationship, that's a big deal.

Spontaneous --- Theron and Eva rope Lana into one of their schemes.

Pleasure -- 22 ATC -- Eva speculates on some of the alternative universes in which she met Theron differently.

Pain -- sometime between 25 ATC and 29 ATC -- Bit of a kinky piece wherein Theron has his old scars replaced by Eva. This is Explicit for sexual activity, biting, bruising, and blood.

Shadow -- the legend of the Voidhound, from a child's perspective.

Partners -- 21 ATC -- A Theron/Eva heist fic, with their radio comms as cover

Reward -- 40 ATC -- Dr. Oggurobb finally retires... or so he thinks, thanks to Bowdaar.

Sacrifice -- 29 ATC (between patches 7.2 and 7.3) -- Theron sacrifices one of the few things to survive from his childhood. Eva is a pregnant person in this fic, so CW for that.

Dance - Eva dances with Jace Malcom. This is a continuation of an eventual post-Nathema fic about a party.

Apology -- 28 ATC (Between Elom and 7.3) -- Theron liberates Arcann from his job at a fast food join in Dromund Kaas by punching him in the face. No, I will not elaborate (I will totally elaborate).

Kiss -- 21 ATC -- Theron thinks about the his views on good morning kisses in the early days after Eva's return.

Rain -- 21 ATC -- Theron finds Eva out in the rain after Koth is worried about her. It's not as bad as it looks.

Protect -- 14 ATC -- Dr. Oggurobb meets the Voidhound on Makeb.

Shy -- 13 ATC -- Cole Cantarus becomes friends with benefits with Eva (she pays at the bar).

Fresh -- anytime after 23 ATC -- C2-N2 tries to start spring cleaning on Virtue's Thief. "Tries" is the operative word here.

SWTOR OC Art Post (Part 2)

And on the same day as my first OC, I created a second one on the Republic side so I could kind of play both of them together. In my head the two of them are always two halves of my SWTOR experience and I love them both very much.

This is my Cyborg Jedi Knight! I've posted about her once before when I reblogged a commissioned art from @the-tomato-patch of her and Scourge (because my OCs are a way for me to project and simp at the end of the day 😅)

Name: Hèros Heldin (again, just the word Hero in French and German lol. I'm not very creative with these names)

This outfit was also designed by me to look Jedi-like but also as a way for me to experiment with drawing new designs.

Again, comments and reblogs are appreciated!

SWTOR.

So. About that news about SWTOR, that it is slated to be transferred to another company - yeah. Let's chat about that. Or I will.  TL:DR version: The licensing agreement for SWTOR was set to expire this year. My own hypothesis is that the Mouse did not renew it and pulled the license from Bioware because they did fuckall with it. Also Bioware has been fumbling a lot of their other games. So this isn't quite a sunny transfer.

My final screenshot of Viri and Lana at home in Naboo (headcanon for the Alderaan stronghold), February 2022, just before uninstalling SWTOR. One thing I have not seen mentioned is the fact that SWTOR's licensing agreement with the Mouse was scheduled to end this year anyway. 2023. It's been said for some time. Is it really a surprise the Mouse would not want things to go on as they are?

Given the near complete lack of attention and care that has been paid to SWTOR for a good five or six years now, I can fully understand why the Mouse would not renew the licensing agreement. Onslaught and Ossus looked as though a fair amount of development money had been poured into them - Ossus, Onderon and Mek-Sha had the same sort of acheivements and datacron hunts you found on the OG planets - but they were bright spots in a very bleak period. 

The amount of content released in a single patch of some other MMOs is more than the collective total of what was released for SWTOR in years. 

The story was haphazard. The companion reunions had no continuity, with some characters not even recognizing NPCs they'd actually worked with before (Nadia Grell and Jaesa Willsaam not recognizing Lana, for instance) or behaving completely out of character (Risha being completely indifferent about the fate of her planet, for instance). The writers killed off almost every character that moved and pulled a "somehow, the Emperor survived" stunt (not with the Emperor). The head writer did not even know a timeline for the story and had to talk it out on the message board. 

The devs tried hard to shove everyone into PvP (both ground and space) and Ops, while alienating other types of players, and made story content ridiculous. Known game-breaking bugs remained in the game for years. 

There's been a lot of turnover in the dev team and numerous reports about management completely ignoring feedback from devs. A few devs were witnessed mocking players on dudebro discords, and the changes they made seemed to benefit a select group of players. A few message board posters were plants trying to deliberately provoke players into inflammatory exchanges or white knighting any and message critical of the devs. Or that criticism was removed outright. 

Players who had invested a substantial amount of time and money into SWTOR and put a lot of effort into developing player guides and fan sites said "fuck this" and walked. The Steam charts show playership of about 3000K players per day. People stopped going to the test server because it became painfully obvious that the devs were completely ignoring most feedback. Problems and bugs test players pointed out made their way into the released patches anyway. 

Meanwhile the staff of SWTOR was getting poached for Anthem and Dragon Age. Anthem failed. Battlefront II went into maintenance after only two years. The next installments of Dragon Age and Mass Effect were proving to be complete clusterfucks. 

Is there really any reason the Mouse would have wanted to keep the license with Bioware? 

I do think this is a way to get SWTOR into a safe place - away from Bioware - but given the profile of the new company, I doubt it means we're going to see a Renaissance. I think it means the game is going to have a safe place to continue in maintenance mode. That's how it is with two other MMOs they have. The number of devs, as someone pointed out, is going to be 50% of what SWTOR has now. 

I do think they will keep it in maintenance mode as long as they can; as long as enough people keep subscribing to make that profitable. But I do think overall, this is it for SWTOR. 

I have not played SWTOR in a year and a half. I uninstalled it on the day 7.0 came out. My characters are all parked in their favorite strongholds with their favorite companions. I headcanon the game itself cut from Ossus directly to Echoes, with the scene at the end of Echoes, with Lana and the PC literally flying off into the stars being the end of the story. I feel it's better that way. Given all that was happening with SWTOR I feel like this was inevitable, too.  All the same, given the positives that SWTOR had - some of the gameplay and class stories, the rich lore, the planets, some of the characters - it leaves me bitterly angry and disappointed by the outcome. It's such a waste. An absolute waste of talent and time and people who were so totally invested in the success of this game. At the end, that's all there is.

Farewell, SWTOR.

This is like my favorite thing the FFXIV community does/passes around every maintenance, so I felt the need to make a version for today. Happy patch day, SWTOR xD

Tagged by the lovely @yarpell

Rules: Write the latest line from each of your WIPs (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are WIPs you are working on.

The fact that the Mirialan - that he’s currently using as a chewtoy, - is continusly squeezing his pecs doesn’t really help the situation.

Surprisingly non-horny in context, part of a 4 + 1 crack-ish fic I’m writing. Might actually finish it one of these days.

Saker covers the Mirialan’s blackened fingers with his own, “you’ve been overdoing it with the lightning again,” he says, and presses his lips to their clasped hands.

Swtor au fic based off a conversation with @birdnanas (as most of my fics are)

She drapes her slacks over the office chair. Saker neatly folds his clothes and puts them aside. The Mirialan leaves him to it, stepping around him and picking a harness out of the dresser.

Uhm- it’s- uh. It’s the Sakersalva fic. Still a lot of work that needs to be done with this one

He doesn’t intend to let regret and bitterness consume him, but he clings to it nevertheless. If he lets himself be forgiving or hopeful, if he pushes the anger down, he might not be able to do what he needs to do.

Saker character study kinda thing I started a while back. I’m struggling with the formatting/order of things though, and I’ve kinda lost steam with this one, so idk when/if I’ll finish it.

He can’t even say anything, can’t defend himself because it’s true, and he’s gasping for breath now, panting, couldn’t speak even if he had something to say, so he closes his eyes, feels like the ground has dropped away under him, like he’s falling-

This fic is surprisingly horny despite what this part implies akskkad

The hand on her belly slowly wanders, hesitating at the hem of her panties, then skipping over it in favor of moving further down to press into the fabric, fingers slipping against the wet patch there.

Honey x Salva fic that’s uhm- uh- 🫣 no comment

I’m cheating a bit, I actually have way more wips, but most of them are just outlines so far, or so nonsensical that I didn’t feel like I could include them in this hahah

I tag @birdnanas @chaosgoblinhours @sith-core @revoleotion @hhyesunn and @thrassthetics

#fic #my fic #tami #saker #star wars oc #wip #tag game #I’d actually completely forgotten abt the second to last one huh #gonna have to get back to that at some point #anyway yeah it’s all filth sorry #literally only 2 out of these 6 are anywhere close to sfw #also sorry to the people I tagged #you definitely don’t have to do this akjdjs #only if you’re up for it #also sorry to everyone who has to read this #these are all very much works in progress

[vespertine-legacy]

Has anyone else encountered an issue with swtor resetting all of your preferences to factory default? It happens to me literally every time there is a patch, but it also happens randomly (sometimes the day before a patch), and I have to go into the preferences for every single character and fix them (things like my chat, social, nameplate, etc, things that aren’t saved in the GUI profiles and can’t easily just be loaded/copied over in the case of like a full game reload or whatever).

It’s one of the most annoying problems I’ve encountered with the game, and it’s like the game is actively trying to tell me to just stop playing, because literally no one, even the game itself, wants me there anyway.

Edited to add: whenever I’ve asked any guildmates about it, they act like I’m crazy and making it up because it’s never happened to them and they’ve never heard of it happening to anyone

Update: there are some old forum posts (that I’m pretty sure I’ve found before) that suggest it’s an issue with the .ini files getting corrupted somehow? So maybe I’ll try some of the fixes suggested in those posts, but there’s also one post I found suggesting that this is a Known Issue as of 7.0 PTS-to-live transition that they supposedly fixed with a patch, but the patch did not fix it for most who are experiencing the issue, but it’s a small enough subset of us that they’re probably just like “well lol that sucks.”

#november vs swtor #I submitted yet another ticket about it #and said to please just not even bother responding if it was just gonna be ‘oh we’re so sorry you’re experiencing this’

[sheyshen]

7.3 thoughts under the cut, pubside theronmancer through first.:

-some animation glitches on the first big cutscene, glowing where there shouldn’t be and clipping issues but honestly nothing too unusual for this game at this point. -Tau flirts!! i wonder if we’re going to get a full romance for her or if it’s just going to be a friend you flirt with kinda thing. -RIP to Bask. wonder if you take the dark side option during the duel does he live here? -flirting with theron in front lana continues to be funny. -i do find it funny that shae’s just allowed to wander the fleet. i mean good i just find it entertaining cause it always seemed like mandos weren’t allowed since they weren’t republic aligned. -malgus continues to be cryptic as always. -kara’s headband went away so we might have a smoochy with arcann?? -”in the years since vaylin’s attack”... man. how long has it been since kotet?? like what? 5 years? wiki says ossus took place 2 years after kotet so maybe 3? -my regret at not taking my arcannmancer version of kara through first is being overridden by the fact i’m taking screenshots of the convo to compare. it’s just day 1 of the patch i don’t need to rush it. -unvoiced kotor-style cutscene >:( -how maton-ja says “do not worry” makes me worry more sir -seems a little awkward having to do the side quest to progress the main quest but i get why they did it. just. probably would’ve made more sense to just make it a main quest?? -”they say the shrine of silence is cursed” and then the whole screen started shaking and i feel that wasn’t actually related but the timing was great. -i don’t know if i need to do the flashpoint to progress just yet but if i do that’ll happen after i eat dinner. -I honestly forgot how much i love the companion system in swtor. wow and xiv need this imo. the outfit tool too (but with wow collection system) -i know it’s a distant hope but man i still hope we see some of the voss from the class stories whenever we have to come out here. lokir!! i miss you!! -took a dinner break and back to checking out the story. first things first. i feel i shouldn’t be surprised czerka’s still being a pain -the scaning the water lines for clogs sucks man. -i don’t think we get the date nights in this patch do we?? -looks like the FP is not required to do the campaign! i am not complaining -”this honor is rare for my kind” weren’t these the same guys that gave me a hard time for ‘corrupting’ lokir? man it’s been so long since i played the smuggler chain. actually since i did any of the class stories. -all that and they gave me.... a table. thaaanks. -i think that’s it? i’m sure there’ll be mail so maybe i’ll pop on my arcannmancer and then do the fp. cause i’m kinda itching to see that cutscene on a romanced version  >:3

Hey all! SWTOR 7.4 goes live (hopefully) sometime this month! I'll be taking a break from playing our Agent buddy Thorn and playing my gremlin of an Inquisitor, Saris that day!

Look forward to blind commentary and a possible feral Shimo over the date night cutscene with Arcann and Saris if we finally get em this patch! :'D

#Streaming #SWTOR #Fish Notes

[isayoldbean]

thank you, that was helpful! knowing that the rpg part of ffxiv gets more emphasis and that it's relatively singleplayer-friendly is definitely a relief (the only other mmo I've really gotten into is swtor, which is basically just a bioware rpg in a shared online world if you ignore all the optional multiplayer/pvp stuff)

I do have a couple of follow-up questions, if you don't mind!

1) does having the complete vs. starter edition change anything about the start of the game? I had a bad experience previously with eso where I got a bundle with the first expansion during a sale, not realizing that would permanently lock off the option to start with the base game story and force me into starting with the expansion for some godforsaken reason, which pretty much killed dead my desire to actually get into that game lmao

2) how alt-friendly is it? I may have a bit of a problem with always coming up with ideas for new characters in rpgs

3) what's the female armor situation vis a vis boobplate and the like? know in advance that this WILL make or break my chances of playing the game

i don't mind at all, ask away!

no, there's no difference. the storyline of ff14 is well-beloved and critically acclaimed and they would like for everyone to experience it, so you have to go out of your way to miss any parts of it. there's options for people who want to, such as the story skips they sell in the online store, or manually skipping every cutscene, but it's something you would have to actively choose to do.

2. it's extremely alt friendly! most people i talk to in game have alt disease. the basic plan only allows 8 different characters per data center, but the standard plan allows 40. you are formally invited to go ham in character creation. (most people who don't have alt disease have fantasia disease, which is an item that allows you to completely remake your character if you want to. so either people have tons of alts, or they have one character that they constantly fantasia into their numerous alts. but they do all have alts)

3. the female armor situation is a little mixed. none of it is boobplate amounts of bad, to my knowledge, but there is a frequent complaint about things like 'gear that appears as pants on male characters magically turns into a skirt and thighhighs on a female character'. it's not so ubiquitous that it can't be avoided, especially with the glamour system that lets your gear take on the look of other clothing, but it is there and it's extremely annoying to encounter. that being said, this is something that has improved significantly since the earlier days, and the devs have actually commented on trying to do better. also in the past there were a lot of outfits that were genderlocked, but every patch they release updates to unlock some of them. i think there's very few genderlocked outfits remaining, actually. so i'll let you decide how you feel about that. if you're on the fence, i will also remind you that critically acclaimed mmorpg final fantasy xiv has an expanded free trial and that you can play through the entirety of a realm reborn and the award-winning heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime

hope this answered all of your questions, and once again feel free to let me know if there's anything else i can answer for you!
