Hey ya'll

In case you ever wanted to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, but didn't want to pay for it, it's now going F2P - tomorrow 15th.

So be sure to make an account today and buy/download to be ready

Is the download for a "MMORPG" ??

Yes Mad - it's a MMO. With superb character stories.

I've heard nothing but good about this one

Thanks, misslilo

[But not for me, then.]

SW:TOR is made by Bioware and published by EA. It is Bioware's multiplayergame. More information is here:

and here:

Thanks Karsten

Does F2P mean Free to Play?

Yepper, Oldman, it does

The servers are really buzzing with new people or people, that have come back.
It's fantastic

Son was excited to hear this. He enjoyed playing but doesn't have enough time to play to want to pay for another subscription.

I have a coworker who stopped playing, waiting for it to go free. I'll have to ask him if he's playing again. I have today off work, a day late for GW2 special events.

Let us know what he says

Created an account and downloading and installing the game as I type this. Now I have to think up a character name.

YAY Guybrush!

Please go to Shadowlands server and join the "TorWars" guild. We have so much fun.:)

A total casual/raid/social/operation guild for all to join.
Type: /cjoin sunshine - and ask for invite - always someone there.

I was thinking Shadowlands when I saw the list on a web sight. The game is still downloading as I post this. I picked a bad time to try it, the Thanksgiving weekend. I get Thursday off work, thats it. Nobody gets Black Friday off. No point in even asking they'll deny it.

Edit: still downloading. When I got up it was actually stalled. I had to pause it and unpause it to get it going again. I have 2 1/2 hours before I have to leave for work, I don't think it will be done downloading.

I've got a Soundral and a Sith Inquisitor. Apparently though bad guy isn't my thing. Twice I made decisions that gave my sith light points. So I'm thinking of deleting him and starting over as Jedi Consular.

There's a swtich in the settings, that let you see, if you choose white or dark before answering.
BUT, what's so wrong in being a good bad guy? lol

Remember though, that the TORWars Guild is Empire only.

I tend to go for Bounty Hunters, probably because I'm lousy at melee

But you didn't say how you feel about the game... so tell us.

BTW.
If you check torwars.enjin.com, there's a guild gathering Event in about 1½ day - there's a counter on the website.

I'm still thinking about it, I may delete the sith and go bounty hunter, I seem to die a lot on melee. Although I played the SI more I think I like the Smuggler l play style better so bounty hunter would probably be good.

I don't like being limited to only two characters, I'm an altatholic, got 10 in Guild Wars 2 now. Kind of disappointed I can only choose between three of the species for free, but they have to make money somehow. I hate to think how much I've already spent on GW2 cash store in only a couple months.

I miss Guild Wars 2's Way Points, places all over the maps that you can instantly travel to for a small fee and they don't go on a timer when used.

Armor damaged when getting killed is similar to Guild Wars 2 except each death there only damages one armor piece and when all your armor is damaged you end up in your underwear until you repair it. Its also easier to heal yourself in combat in GW2, Don't have to bring up inventory and click on medical kits, your healing skill works in combat, although it may be interrupted,.

I was hoping that at some point I'd get to kill the sith overseer but somebody in chat said don't get to and that actually his bad treatment of my character is actually a good thing since it feels him with resent

One of the sith quests was bugged. The marker would point to inside the tomb but as soon as I walked into the tomb it would point right back out again. Somebody tried to help me but couldn't remember where I needed to be either. Eventually found it by accident.

Otherwise I having fun with it. I think I'm going to erase both characters, right make the smuggler with different name and appearance and make a bounty hunter instead of sith. I didn't get far of either.


Bounty Hunter's name is Josra. Who do I ask about joining guild?

You just type in General chat:

/cjoin sunshine

Then someone should send you an invite.. that easy

I think you'll like the Bounty Hunter - and Mako your first companion is just yummy, lol
You get her around lvl 8 I think....

You can unlock stuff in the Cartel Shop if you have cartel coins.
Buy one thing and you'll automatically get Preferred status, which in itself unlocks a few more things for you.
(at least, that's how I understand it)

/cjoin sunshine got me a message that free to play players cannot create or join costume chat channels.

Oh right - darn.
Well, did you check the torwars.enjin.com and try writing in the shoutbox on the right - then someone might see it and add you.

OR you could wait for the Guild Event tomorrow early morning.

I'll be on tonight in about 8-9 hours, so I could add you.

You keeping the BH Josra?

Yes I'm keeping Josra.

Have to go to work, bu I logged in to check on something and found I had mail I had missed. I got 22 credits from the sith academy for sending them a new student. I murdered his father so he's naturally full of negative emotions which his overseer thanked me for.

Congrats Guybrush!

Ana

misslilo what's your name in game?

My names are:
Hot-wowdane
Hot-Bites
Hot-Femmefatale
Noo-Uglyman

But if you see:
Asros or Aspis in game, you can ask them too

I whispered you but you didn't respond or add me to guild.

It wont let me whisper Asros until I get to level 10 because I'm free to play.

I was trying to look up if there was a way to unlock things without a subscription.In the cartel stuff like species unlocks says it requires legacy whatever that is.

Got to level 10. Got first companion. Unfortunately free to play is not letting me get all rewards. Most of the missions to get my bounty hunter into the great hunt gave me no items.

As far as I understand it, if you buy just 1 thing from the Cartel Shop your status will change to Preferred Player, which will loosen up some of the restrictions.

But let me double check it


This is what it says about it:

Yeah I bought the title unlock so I could display Hired Gun after my name. I had to exit the game and reload before I recognized that I was Preferred.

My boys were excited to hear this, but they haven't had time to play yet.

First I was "Josra, Hired Gu"n. Now "I'm Josra The Heartless" for blowing up a spaceship. Unlocked Legacy. Now I need a family name I guess. I think most of what legacy gets you either needs subscription or buying individual unlocks.

Guybrush, do you get to choose your family name?

Yes, but I haven't done it yet. Don't know what its going to be.

I made up Josra from the name of old TV series character, Josh Randall, played by Steve McQueen in "Wanted: Dead or Alive". First three letters from the character's first name, last two from character's last name. My character isn't anything like the TV character who actually preferred not to kill if he could avoid it. He would if he could take wanted men in alive. My character prefers them dead, its easier. Apparently though he's actually dragging a woman's dead body around with him as he killed her on Hutta and has take to her to the Sith capital planet to get the bounty. That confused at first, I couldn't find where to finish the quest.

Eeeek

I made a jedi consular but don't know if I'll keep him. Melee is easier for me in Guild Wars 2. May switch back to smuggler.

I'm apparently a sucker for cash stores. I spent enough on cartel coins that I could have subscribed for a couple months. I purposly never added up what I spent on Guild Wars 1 and now Guild Wars 2's cash shops.

Legacy name is Panthera, from the cat family which includes lion, tiger, jaguar and leopard.

Right now I have the jedi consular in the family tree under rival, not a blood relative since the BH is a cyborg (ie human with electronic implants, and a bad scar, on his face which looks like a big cad mauled him) and the JC is Mirialan (green skinned humanoid with tatoos on his face).

Sounds like you are having fun

Players in this game not very friendly. Two groups walked right up to me and wouldn't stop to revive me.

People revive each other in Guild Wars 2 all the time.

Yes, that is one of the things that I liked about it....folks really were helpful.

They way groups works takes some getting used to. In GW2 everybody gets there own drops. IN SWTOR if you're in a group some seem to be who ever picks them up first and others its a "role of dice" as to who gets it. If I don't need it I'm usually nice and pass on it.

My BH's companion gets upset when I do bad things or talk mean so I usually send her off to scavenge before I talk to NPCs. If the character I think it is is my JC"s first companion I think he will be the opposite, annoyed when I don't kill people.

I do love that shared resource aspect of GW2.

If I'm doing the a mission in SWTOR which involves killing certain foes, or activating a machine or taking objects off of dead bodies and someone else beats me to to it I have to wait for the spawn to regenerate.

Yep, that is the way WoW is too...

I usually use that time to sit back and relax my tense body and take time to actually enjoy the game by looking around

That's a great idea Misslilo

Don't like the last update. Took companion commands off the icon on the left side of the screen. Now have to bring up the companions window to dismiss or sell junk.

I deleted jedi. Trying smuggler again.

Hmmmm I wonder what their thinking was?

Smuggler's name is Rojavon. Roj from Roj Blake and avon from Kerr Avon, the two lead characters in the British science fiction series "Blakes 7".


Guess I need to find a Republic guild.

Yeah - I'd like that too.
Been leveling a couple of pubs this weekend, but I miss the chat from the guild :(

But they are thinking about it... that's always something. right?

It's always good when companies listen to the wants of their fan base.

The jedi and sith should both die off so should be none around for the films. Why?

Jedi believe passion is evil. One of the missions is to break up a romance. So no jedi children.

Sith don't trust each other enough to disrobe. So no sith children.

BTW one of my coworkers is not a Star Wars fan. He says were supposed to think the jedi are the good guys but actually they're terrorists who committed genocide against the sith.

Of course!!
BUT - I was talking about the guild we're in now, lol
The TORWars Guild (from torwars.com) on Shadowlands.

Josra isn't looking well. Doing bad thing is effecting his body as well as his soul. Course I had to pay to unlock ability to hide helmet to notice what it was doing to his face.

Something odd I noticed. Free-to-play and Preferred players only get two character slots but the price to unlock stuff on "all characters" is more than twice the cost of unlocking for one. This doesn't make sense since subscribers, who get 12 characters, don't need the unlocks. For example, it would have cost me an extra 75 coins to unlock head piece hiding on both characters. So if I want an unlock on both characters, I just buy it on both.

Hmmmm, I wonder if it's a mistake on their part?

In character window / Unify colors - you can uncheck the Dark side doings to your face.

Josra, before and after gaining Dark points

Rojavan, Light points only

EEK, that is not a good look for Josra

Looks like a zombie to me.

Got my anniversary fireworks. Haven't shot any off yet. Don't think I'll buy any Lifeday stuff.

I should have made Rojavon a sith warrior. The sith warrior overseer at the start of the game is voiced by Paul Darrow who played Kerr Avon Blakes 7. I took Roj from Roj Blake and Avon from Kerr Avon.

I signed up for a 60 day/none renewing subscirption so I could try more than 2 classes.

Heroes of the Republic
Rojavon (smuggler/gungslinger) - from Blakes 7's Roj Blake and Kerr Avon
Dreanan (trooper/vanguard) - Welsh for thorn
Nashebo (Jedi Warrior/?) - from an American indian character from an episode of Kung Fu


Fiends of the Empire
Josra (bounty hunter/mercenary) - from Josh Randall character in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" TV series
Arachnathena - (imperial agent/?) - from Arachnid and Athena
Xoanan - (sith inquestor/?) - from an episode of Doctor Who (original series)

I didn't know when I created Rojavon that the late Paul Darrow (Kerr Avon) actually voiced a sith warrior overseer in the game. I played a sith warrior just to see his story line then deleted her. After she I lost interest.

I didn't think I'd like trooper but its becoming my favorite. Imperial agent has interesting story but plays too much like smuggler, some of the same skills even.

I'm not sure what will happen when subscription expires. Some people in game think I'll get to keep six character, because that happened to previous subscribers who went free to play. Which is why I'm stopping at 6 characters, instead of 12. I hope it does drop to 6 and not 2. If it drops back to 2 I hope its not random but asks me which ones.

Now of course I'm wishing I had bought account wide speeder unlock instead of character. I'm not buying account wide until after the subscription runs out because I already have it unlocked on 2 characters and buying it to unlock other 4 I may not get to keep would be a waste.

Speeder unlock is ALWAYS only for one character - the tooltip for accountwide is wrong

And wise decision to go for a sub - I do believe you get to keep your 6 characters

This is different, my jedi warrior got his second companion before his ship. My other characters didn't get second companion until they got their ship and the droid that comes with it. Jedi got a different droid first and a female padawan second. Ship's droid presumably be third companion.

My first two characters are twice the level of the jedi and they still only have their original companions plus the ship's droid.

Anything happen if a jedi tries to romance NPC?
Update: somebody in game says that results in Dark Side points, so won't be doing that.

No Darkside for you

I wondered if the artists did anything with alien anatomy other than skin color, horns or tales on heads, so I took my characters armor off. The purebred sith look like part of his ribcage is exposed otherwise all the species look like humans who dyed their skin.

Hmmmmmm......I'm sure that made it much simpler for them.

Latest update made it 2 characters per server for Free-to-play (previously it was 2 characters period), 6 per server for preferred players and subscribers get 12 per server. When my 60 day non-renewing subscription runs out I'll get to keep all 9 of my characters but not make any more new ones.

They are also selling extra character slots now. I'm not sure how that will work with free to play, because normally any purchase makes you preferred.

It's good you get to keep them

From playing this game I've concluded that Emperor Palpatine is a sith inquisitor and Darth Vader a sith warrior. Neither of course was a true sith as the sith race is apparently extinct by their time.

Yes, at one point Sith became more of a position than a race.

Yeah, even in the game most of the sith are human rather than pure bread sith. Somewhere between the game and the films the sith race disappears. Course so do most of the other sith. What I think is odd is that in the books set after the films the term sith falls out of use, dark side force users called dark jedi instead.

My sixty day subscription has expired. And while I got to keep all 10 of my characters they have been set to inactive and I can only activate 6 of them at a time.

I couldn't make the choice. I bought two character unlocks to keep my darkjedi and lightsith.

Addictive, eh?
And tomorrow patch 1.7 comes out.. can't wait to see all the goodies.

Yeah but I don't like how it does world bosses. I was with group that killed the boss but because I was killed, mapped to medic and was on the way back when it died my quest didn't update. Now I'm stuck waiting for it to respawn.

That is annoying indeed!

It did it again. I died but didnt map out I just stayed there but still the quest did not update. I gave up, abandoned the quest.

Awww Guybrush, that is so annoying.

Finally completed the weekly boss quest but on a different character. Unfortunately as I'm no longer a subscriber I only got XP and credits, no other reward.

Ahhh, so that is there carrot to get you to subscribe?

Josra the bounty hunter/mercenary has completed chapter 1. And with the help of a guild member has hatched an Orokeet mini pet, which is a lot easier than hatching a Moa Chick in Guild Wars 1, but still multiple step process. Josra just reached level 37.

Subscribers gain experience faster, can carry more money and planet commendations. For awhile Josra was over his credit limit. Had to spend some. Also subscribers can send companion to craft 5 items, 1 after the other. Non-subscribers have to do it one at a time, ie wait until companion finishes and send again.

Thanks Guybrush, did you get to name your minipet?

Name the mini pet? No.

I had a new companion for awhile doing chapter 2, but he left. He'll show up again later I'm sure.

Apparently Bioware doesn't want players money. Can't buy cartel coins or subcribe. I wanted to buy another character slot. Other people wanted to subscribe. Both function are currently broken.

Ewwww, is there a bug report you can submit?

Edit: I found this on their website.



If you have time, you might give them a call.

Its a problem they know about and say they are investigating.

Wouldn't you know it, the companion that wants romance is my jedi knights. She kissed him, fortunately no dark side points.

Guybrush, were you able to get past the money problem?

Yes, by changing to Pay Pal. After making the switch I think I figured out the problem with credit card. I don't think the web site originally asked for the 3 digit code on the back of the card then when they updated the system to require it they forgot to prompt people to add it, so credit card orders just failed.

I'm sure its just a coincidence but SWTOR and GW2, two different publishers, both added new items to their cash stores.

I'm glad the problem is solved!

Double XP weekends:

March 15, 2013 to March 18, 2013
March 22, 2013 to March 25, 2013
March 29, 2013 to April 1, 2013
April 5, 2013 to April 8, 2013

Helping to get ready for the Hutt Cartel expansion.

And I need the help, just got Josra to level 41. Needs to be 50.

Thanks, Guybrush

Josra has completed Bounty Hunter Chapter 1: The Great Hunt and Chapter 2: The Price of Fame. He's now the Republic's "Most Wanted" although the charges are false (well some of them). Apparently a high ranking jedi needs something to bolster his falling popularity rating and going after a bounty hunter who's been doing the empire's dirty work makes good copy. Josra would point out that the cowardly jedi stayed safe on the capital world while sending out others to die when they twice tried to murder him. Both times he encountered the jedi's minions they were the aggressors. So much for jedi morals and ethics.

So far Josra has not succeed in convincing Mako to mix pleasure with business. Even though I have her affection for him maxed out, she doesn't respond to well to flirting. First companion to have maximum affection for one of my characters.

Rojavon has completed Smuggler Chapter 1: The Fatal Fortune, but hasn't really started chapter 2 yet as he ended up back on Nar Shaddaa (I've joked several times that its the Hotel Nar Shaddaa, you can check out but never really leave, as you're always drawn back). He's now got a partner who's theoretically a queen. Not sure how the flirting is going yet.

Arachnathena has completed Chapter 1: Heart of Terror and has theoretically become The Hand, though no such actual title is available and I suspect she'll turn on the sith who calls her that. He's not the emperor just thinks he should be. Just got her first male companion and he's a little strange, okay a lot strange. He's linked to the hive mind of a race of intelligent insects and tends to speak of himself as "we" instead of "I" and not the royal one. Chapter 2 has imperial agent go under cover as a double agent pretending to defect to the republic but as soon as you meet the man you're supposed to destroy . The title you get for completing chapter 1 is "Double Agent".

Seems you've really gotten into SWTOR Guybrush

Sounds like you are having lots of fun!

Yeah I have... My SWTOR characters

That's a nice and varied group. Names are the hardest thing for me about character creation.

Josra now has all his companions.

I'm glad he is not lonely anymore.

Josra is marred to his companion Mako. The writting is pretty bad. She alaways responds to flirting with not wanting to mix business with pleasure. Then suddenly last night when Josra said he'd have to fire her then, and kissed her she suddenly announces she loves him and accepts his proposal to form a permanent contract with her. Seems being dark side doesn't stop a romance with companions as long as you can get the affection up anyway, and be hi enough level. Josra is 49.


I just got a wedding present emailed from Mako. Funny thing is its technology companion give, which just happens to be her favorite. Blizz would like it to so I'll give it to him.


Josra is level 50, which is max level until later this year.

That is pretty funny, Guybrush

Seems odd to me but I find people playing the "evil" sith empire are friendlier than people playing the "good" republic. I guess its like actors who play villains a lot are usually nice guys in reality, where the hero actors can some times be real jerks.

On the other hand, Sobrik, an imperial outpost on the imperial planet of Balmorrra, is a lot more fun when you're a republic infiltrator sneaking around it.

You can find all kinds in these games, for sure.

Are some down sides to double xp week end. On the one hand you can end up higher than the quests on a planet and get little experience from them. On Hoth Rojavon is at a spot where he's too high for the normal planet quests but too low for the bonus series of quests. On the other hand, if you finish your class missions and head out to next planet you may find yourself under armored/armed.

That does sound like a problem.

Rojavon completed chapter two and married Risha. Last conversation she was already talking about children. In the Legacy screen I have my second smuggler listed as Rojavon's daughter. Same with Josra and second bounty hunter. The Risha story is more romantic than the Mako one.

Found a flaw in the game. His other female companion wanted to talk and she wants to flirt, there's no "I'm married" option. You can turn her down immediately without explaining why and she'll go down 3 points or flirt going up 52 points then insult her for -3. Somebody can't do math because you end up +50 that way. The more affection a companion has the faster they are at crafting and the more of their back story you get.


Draenen completed chapter 1.

Interesting Guybrush!

Ana

Josra and Rojavon are both level 50, which until the update is max level. Soe even though they have not finished chapter 3, there is little point continuing to play them as any xp earned would be wasted(?) After the expansion max level is being raised to 55 so quest xp would be useful again.

Hmmmmm I wonder why the tie between affection and crafting?

Right now killing things on level 50 characters just gives Legacy points. Average seems to b 5 a kill, but I've gotten as little as 3 and as much as 16. However, the expansion which raises level cap to 55, will be available to download tomorrow for those who pre-ordered when it was first announced (me), next Sunday for everyone else.

Let us know how you like the expansion

Josra has reached Dark Side Tier 5, gaining the title "Loathsome". Automatically unlocked a skill which, for all my characters, which nearly kills companion to heal the character that used it. Five is the current maximum, but I noticed a vendor had items withh a requirement of 5 or higher, which leads me to suspect the update will raise Dark Side and Light Side levels too.

The servers, including web site, are shutting down soon for the update. Going to take all night.

Guybrush, remind me never to quest with Josra

Hee Hee.

There's a light side version that heals your companion but Rojavon needs more ls points to unlock it. Not going to get it today, the servers just shut down.

First quest on the new planet is actually level 51 and the whole thing is considered chapter 4, so I'm going back to work on finishing chapter 3 and leveling up to 51 before I do the new stuff.

Just learned from a guild member that you can romance same gender characters. Not something I'm interested in but for those who wanted it its there now.

Have fun!

Thanks.

For ordering the Rise of the Hutt Cartel you get 5 Basic Commendations in email. Takes over 100 of those to get anything.

For pre-ordering early each of your characters gets a new pet, a new title "Scourge of the Hutts" and a device that lets you train anywhere without having to go back to the town where trainers are or go to fleet.

There are a bunch of new achievements (most of which Guild Wars 2 already had), however they don't display correctly until you've logged into all your characters, since all your characters affect them. Most of these achievements will require you to fight foes you would normally avoid, like all the harmless beasties that show yellow meaning they won't attack you if you don't attack them or the higher level foes you thought it would be good to avoid.

Ohhhhhh, goodies. I love goodies!

I was only lvl 50, when I did the first few quests on Makeb.

Helped A LOT to do it right now, when there's tons of people around to kill all those mobs and goons LOL

But, they are not that scary if you can keep the agro around 2-3 goons/beasts.

Often you'll see 2 lvl 51's at around 16K-17K.
Oh and the first few bosses will be around 40K

So be sure to have upgraded every little thing, that can be upgraded...

Misslilo, what do you think of the new expansion?

Still haven't finished Voss. Done with bounty hunter storyline on Voss, just finshing up bonus series. Josra is now level 52 so could go back to Makeb. He's actually parked on fleet to use planetary commendations to upgrade armor.

@honey4labs

So far I like Makeb
Story is interesting and it all looks gorgeous.

Haven't really had time to take it all in just yet.. one has to work ya know lol

Getting to Makeb was a real surprising experience.
I won't spoil it - but it took me by surprise

@Guybrush
I too am going back to do all the quests I didn't do and use other companions than Mako.
Time to check out their stories

Misslilo, so glad you enjoyed the surprise, and thank you for not spoiling it. I love when games take me in an unexpected direction.

To my surprise I got Blizz to 1000 kills. Now I have go back to using Mako to get her to 1000.

Josra just completed chpater 3. The Republic is short a chancellor.

@honey4labs
Are you playing? Going to get Makeb?

Misslilo, no not playing this one. I have discovered that I really can't play more than 1 MMORPG at a time..my fingers get confused.

My boys played in the beginning, so I've seen parts of it. Middle son may still be playing but eldest doesn't have time to play anything right now.

Got Mako to 1000 kills. Working on Gault now. Just got him a much better rifle.

Grats! I love getting new weapons

Josra is level 55. Which I guess puts him back to getting legacy points only, no more experience (until another expansion).

Grats, time to level up another one

Rojavon finished chapter 3. And since I havne't clicked on ship's hollow I get a screen showing "Interlude". I'm probably going to send him to Ilum (planet Josra skipped) since I already have Josra on Mekab (new hutt quests).

Apparently if you kill Rogun the Butcher you get the the title "Butcher’s Bane" but I didn't kill him so no title.

Guybrush, can you go back and do it?

Nope, once its done, it's done. Just as well, presumably if you kill Rogun than you'd have to face the two sith by yourself. Not killing him he helps with the fight. Actually, I was kind of expecting him to turn on me once the sith were gone, but it didn't happen.

Ahhh, I see

All bow before Xoanan, Dark Lord of the Sith. He finished chapter 1, gained the title Lord and some followers.

WooHoo Guybrush, grats!

Wow for 30 levels sith inquestor had same companion, then gets two more in rapid succession. One is a female jedi padawan he's trying to turn dark.

Oh Bad Inquestor! Bad!

First chat with here there were no options that would gain her affection. I had to bribe her with gifts.

What kind of gifts does she like?

She doesn't like any gift very much, opposite of Bounty Hunters Jawa companion who likes everything. She's going to be difficult to make like dark side sith. I think she was added for light side inquisitors.

Oooh, she is going to make you work hard.

Nashebo (jedi knight) has completed chapter 1, gaining the title "Hero of Tython". He saved the planet. He also saved Alderaan, which I still say was a waste of time since its doomed to be the first, and only planet, destroyed out by an Imperial Death Star.

Grats there Guybrush. He had to save Alderaan, else where would Princess Leia be raised?

My lightside sith warrior, Silvary while in the desert world of Tatooine had a vision in which her own reflection tried to turn her to the darkside. It claimed the other sith would be against her when the sensed the light in her and that the darkside was stronger. She defeated her reflection in combat, proving it wrong. Apparently, if you agree with what the reflection says you don't have to fight it.

Its fun having a lightside sith and a darkside jedi (consular). Does make the jedi counsel look rather dim as they never figure out you're bad.
