anyone else doing this ? its great fun
me and my brother have played mmos together for years (we live a good distance apart irl)
in swtor with its 4 man instance set up and companions we've been able to tackle instances near on level with just the two of us and our companions and its proving fun, somewhat challenging and a great laugh.
because there's just the two of us we use messenger for voice communication which most people should have and be able to make use of.
our class and companion combo is me with a Bounty Hunter Mercenary (playing neutral/light) with Mako as healer and him with a Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer (playing very, very dark...which makes for some funny moments) and Khem Val as tank which are both the starting companions.
both of us off-heal and dps while the companions do their thing and although we invariably wipe on first attempts on a boss its fun figuring out how we are gonna handle things and taking them down.
i should add that we don't do this to be anti-social and do instances with full groups as well its just this has become "our thing" and ofc it holds certain rewards (not least of which is free reign with the looting ).
im looking to possibly specing in directions just to support this playstyle until end game now (when i'll respec more "seriously") and was just wanting to suggest it to people who might be up for it with a close friend or relative and to possibly hear of other folks who are doing the same
have fun.
