Whilst awaiting the arrival of various game releases such as the Diablo 4's Season One this weekend, Baldur's Gate 3 in a fortnight, and Starfield in a month, I decided to jump back into Star Wars: the Old Republic and... not finish the last story I need to in order to become a Legendary Player.
I decided to make a Bounty Hunter instead.
All I need is to finish the Republic Trooper story and I, someone who has played since beta before launch, will at last become a Legendary Player. But I just can't get into the dang story. It was a slog for me to finish most of the Republic-side stories but the Trooper... Chapter One bores me to tears and I just can't finish it.
Anyway. So I made a new Bounty Hunter! This will be my third Bounty Hunter, haha, but I was inspired to play from the very beginning due to recently having a Star Wars binge with my partner. We watched all the movies, all the TV series, and during The Mandalorian I was just... "ARGH! I NEED TO PLAY A BOUNTY HUNTER IN SWTOR!!!!"
I was hoping to finish my character in time for Season One of Diablo 4 this weekend, but alas, after 5 days of playing I'm only up to Chapter Two and hunting a pirate with a Jawa on Hoth.
I was hoping to finish the main class story, finish the next expansions, and check out the new content which will inevitably make me weep for the glorious past of SWTOR, but of course that was too ambitious. But that's alright. I'll do it all at some point; I'm planning on staying subscribed for complimentary cartel coins anyway so there's plenty of time to get this done... and hey, maybe I'll finally force myself to do that damned Republic Trooper storyline (unlikely).
At the moment, the Nar Shaddaa Night Life event is happening which means there are actually people fooling around in that area, gambling, trying to get cool things.
Which was very lucky for me...
Because, my poor Bounty Hunter got "stuck" on a fence and couldn't get out. I couldn't use the /stuck command, I couldn't merely quick travel, go to my stronghold, anything. I tried to log off and back on and I would return to that spot, stuck on a fence.
Stuck on a fence, I finally asked /general chat for help and I was surprised to find that not a single person lol'd or made fun of my predicament. In fact, people offered suggestions, albeit ones I had already tried, and then one person offered to group up with me so she could try and get me out.
We dueled. I remained stuck.
She logged over to another character, a sorcerer, and used the ability Force Pull to get me out. It worked! Huzzah!
I was just amazed that people were helpful. All the toxic gamers must have left and gone back to World of Warcraft, HAHA.
Anyway, despite my ambitious hopes of actually finishing the main quest-line of this game within a mere week, I've been enjoying my time returning to Star Wars: the Old Republic.
When I get to the new non-immersive content that can be activated with a mere click of a purple button to get to and fro with no need for your spaceship and old companions having no meaningful dialogue, I'll probably change my tune, but I'm still interested in seeing what the new content holds.
Guess I'll check it out whenever I finally get there. It's almost Season One of Diablo time!!!! 😁
Until next time! 🎮🚀
