Hello,
Started SWTOR about a week ago & so far I'm having a blast.
I have a few questions regarding the core systems of the game that I feel have not been fleshed out/explained well by the (antiquated) tutorial tips:
1) Could you please explain to me how Flashpoints/Operations work? As in, what's the difference between STORY/VETERAN/MASTER modes? And how/when do I access these modes?
2) I am aware there's a LFG system, but does SWTOR have a Party Finder tool? (Able to make/search for groups for a particular activity?)
3) How does the transition between CLASS STORY and DLCs/Expansions change? Is it similar to Final Fantasy XIV? (i.e. base game story -> patch story -> expansion story -> patch story, etc., etc.). Currently doing the CLASS STORY, but will I be able to experience all Expansions/DLCs or do I jump straight into the current content ala WoW?
4) How do Professions/Crew skills work? Do I keep sending companions on mini-missions till the Profession is maxed out?
5) Would you say the game is P2W with the addition of Cartel Coins?
Many thanks!
