Why don't lore items glow blue anymore?

Hey guys, played since BETA... came back on a new account (long story) after a 5-6 year hiatus. Why dont the lore items glow blue consistently anymore? They do when I mouse over them... is it a new setting I missing? Anyone got background on this? Hard to remember where the yall are...

Expansions

Ive never played the expansions, or anything after the main quest. Are they worth getting in to? Does class matter after the main story line? Is there expansion content that is just blah? I play mostly by myself, dont raid or even do flashpoints very often, so that isnt particularly relevant, but Id lije to maybe try something different than just leveling an inquisitor or knight through the same 10 or so planets.

Since Disney rebooted everything... Is SWTOR even part of the Expanded Universe anymore?

Just wondering given that the games after K1 and K2 seem to focus so much on the SWTOR Vitiate and Malgus. And other SWTOR characters.

Theron or Lana

I'm letting this Group decide who I romance as I can't decide I'm playing as a Imperial Agent. I mainly wanna see what people pick so consider this more of a Poll. I tend to keep things balanced so I don't favor either or Ls or DS

So who will it be???

Help me find this particular fanfic

I read this fanfic a while ago on fanfic.net and lost it unfortunately.I would like to find it back cause I recall it being an interesting story.It was an AU if Darth Malgus captured Satele Shan at the Battle above Korriban.She is his captive for a while,and the story details his rivalry with Darth Nox. Eventually tho they ended up falling in love.They live in the revanites camp for a while,get married and Satele gets pregnant.Eventually the eternal empire takes over and Satele gets kidnapped.Malgus enlists the help of Darth Marr to find his wife.In the meantime,Revan awakes but does not remember who he is.He goes on a killing spree until he sees Satele who is his descendant.I don't recall the rest of the story but it was really interesting so I hope someone is able to help me locate it

Class stories

I have deleted and restarted so often each of the classes, that I wish there were download-able save files with all 8 classes at the chapter 3 end points. I keep restarting to explore different paths and options, but the grind in the middle kills me. Is there any way to edit any type of save file to get this done, or is the slog the only way?

A tip for arena battles

Don't try to take on enemies 1 on 1, it never ends well. One time there were more players on my team, yet we still lost because the others insisted on taking on the enemies 1 on 1. Maybe they're afraid that I'll steal their kills, but yeah, there you have it.

It all seems pointless

Rant: Playing through the Mando expansions feels so pointless and empty. There are no characters to care about and no decisions to make. The story is unbelievably long winded and I feel like the developers don't know where to go with it. Waiting up to a year for updates hasn't helped either. I have just played through three hours of filler content on the Hutta district and am now stuck on an endless loading screen (a known bug). I know it's an old game but I feel like storytelling has been it's greatest strength and that is why people play and enjoy it still after 10 years. But right now it's like moving through a void. It feels like it will take an eternity for the story to wrap up but still nothing happens. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I don't really understand why the writing has been great so far, and just depressing for the past two years.

Bounty hunter/Mercenary RP Guilds [Darth Malgus]

Hey there! I’ve been away from swtor for about 5 years now and it looks like most of the well known RP guilds have all but crumbled… I’m wondering if there are any left for my returning Bounty Hunter could join?

Crew skill question

So whenever people ask which crew skills make the most credits people just say get gathering skills. So what’s the best crafting crew skill for making money?

Favourite ending? (Spoilers)

So what is your favourite class ending? Recently re-played all classes vanilla story. I was always for the Knight. Killing Emperor in the duel and ending the war - absolutely top notch Kotor story. But no one in the Empire knows if he is alive or death for the very long time and Emperor "somehow returns" in expansions, it isn't looking such cool now. Now, Inquisitor story hits the top. Dueling Thanaton two times and second time when the ghosts appears - now that's the cool Star wars story. And becoming wise Council member regardless if dark or light - cherry on top.

I like trooper story, but ending is dull. In my opinion Agent have best ending from non-force users.

I thought shae vizla was dual-wielded?

I recently purchased her unlock via the Jaleit Nail (or whatever the name is) vendor with GS tokens, but i noticed she only had 1 blaster shot? I thought the whole shae gimmick was that her being the best DPS comp in the game is because she had 2 pistols?

What are some fun playthrough rules you've tried?

I'm currently playing through the Sith warrior story line, RP-ing myself as extremely overconfident, but with the lightsaber skills to back it up (at least for now, just starting Ch2). As such I'm playing my favorite class, marauder, but only ever using one lightsaber. At first I considered the approach "I'll only draw my second blade for worthy foes", but then I defeated Revan with one blade, so I won't draw it until I lose a duel.

I'm also planning to start a Jedi Consular who will not be drawing their lightsaber at all (if possible). Still working on the details as to why, but right now it's in the directon of "a jedi should'nt need a lightsaber to resolve conflicts, the force the only ally I need", possibly wiht a slight DS touch of "lightsaber? The force is my weapon".

Have you ever done a playthough like this, where you've purposly restricted yourself in some way? Or have you done other rules additions for a more fun, interesting and/or challenging playthrough?

Weapons to suit a Chiss?

Recently we got Thrawn's pistol in the cartel market which is great, a proper charric pistol for Chiss characters! But, I am also looking for something equally fitting for rifles, snipers and autocannons as well. Anyone got any suggestions?

Maybe some high-tech looking sabers for my Chiss Sith, too.

Revenge of the Sith 20th anniversary!

It would be cool if they made inspired stuff such as armor sets, lightsabers, hairstyles set

Armor set could be Jedi robes cloaked especially considering they have made unhooded/hooded+ show hair and the new mysterious rogue has a non jacket chest piece you could do that too here. It seems fitting to add.

This is a edited picture of steadfast armor set and Exterminator of how it could look like

It would also be nice if they included just anakins cybernetic forearm in some new set with the other hand being naked

Then you could add a reforged blademaster lightsaber

Then i would like to see Anakins hairstyle in episode 3

Any MMORPGs with coop similar to SWTOR?

My wife and I have really enjoyed the coop experience in SWTOR, it is definitely the most seamless coop experience I've found.

We love SWTOR for that and the story, but we have been looking for a game with perhaps a more engaging combat system. I've played several other MMOs, but struggle to find any with such a good coop design. ESO feels like a single player game besides the dungeons and trials for instance. Does anyone have recommendations for an MMORPG to scratch this itch?

Date Night matches

So I’m levelling a new suite of characters namely for the date night achieves. I have Lana covered with my Sith Warrior and Jorgen covered by my trooper.

I’m thinking my SI for Arcann and my agent for Theron for some spy on spy romance.

My dilemma is Koth? Which character do I dislike enough to inflict Koth on them?
