Heres the thing im returning i currently have 3 tq $25 cards from gamestop and dont know what i should do with em
Only serious answers

Mabe its been 1-2 and a half years since played


Can this thread be moved placed in wrong section Sorry

I just came back to CO myself a couple days ago after a few years off. With all the new quests they through in leveling is idiot proof and they seem to just throw gear at you so all you need is good weapons.

SDG's are 1/10th the price they were when I quit, as low as 1kk on lightning. Seems to be a lot more botters, but that's not really something I can complain about seein as I'm on epvp...

It's still the same deal as before though, put everything into your weaps to level until you're ready for pvp.

You're probably better off not starting again, since the game isn't what it used to be.

#1 things you can do:
Talismans. They are simply overpowered as hell. BUY TALISMANS.
Don't buy weapons. BUY TALISMANS.
Weapons are for once you have like Super 2 soc +6 talis.
I'm tellin yah. ._.; Tali's are what makes the game go now.

Also- I'm on gryphon if you want a friend i play quite often. =P

Sir returning to CO is like going to hell by ur own will.....CO isnt the same its used to be...its now based on the principle of the more u pay TQ the stronger u will be...without paying to tq u got no chance
( btw am 1 item behind full 2 soc in my server and i am a noob here, nearly everyone 1 hits me so imagine how much do u need to be a bad ass in this game from the ZERO point )
