Utilize Companions To Enhance Your SWTOR Adventure

By Juan Ako


Star Wars finally gave a game to their audience that is worth their while. SWTOR was dubbed the next big MMO and although it is great, it might not live up to its hype. This is not for lack of game play, it is because all of the games in the genre have failed to change their path enough to have an audience that sticks around for long. The story in the game is absolutely intense and something everyone will enjoy. People who are huge fans of the movie franchise will surely love their attention to detail. Gamers will also love the addition of companions. These are helpers that follow you throughout your character's journey.

Upon entering the game for the first time, you will be prompted to create your character and decide what side of the battle you want to fight on. The war is starting to brew and the infantry needs you help to defeat their foes. There are several classes to choose from and it follows the holy trinity of any MMO. Tanks, healers and damage classes are all chosen and you essentially choose one side that you want to fight for. Choose your side wisely, you will not be able to change your mind unless you make another toon to play with. Companion come into play very early in the game.

Companions have their own abilities and strengths just as classes do. This allows them to all have their own benefits and the best part is you can have five with you at any given time. This means that your grinding experience will be much easier and less lonely. When you get your first ship, only one companion can travel the universe with you. This is a hard decision to make, but it needs to be done to save the world. These helpers are their for your every need and will help you fight, do missions and even collect valuable materials to build up your skills. Oftentimes, people will send their pet to do one task while they do another. It only makes sense to delegate your tasks in an appropriate manner to make your experience more enjoyable.

Having a companion is not all fun and games. They are very intelligent and require an immense amount of attention or they will get upset with you. This is done through their affection system. This system is a meter of happiness between the two of you. This determines if your follower is your best friend or someone who is unhappy with you. It is really a well throughout system that adds a little extra complexity to the game.

There are even ways that you can make your companion have more affection towards you. Gifts have been included and giving them to your companion or having a good talk with them can boost their affection. Quest and mission decisions can also help add some extra affection to your follower.

There are 5 different levels for pets and 5 ranks of gifts. These directly correlate with one another as low level gifts given to a high level companion are more of a snub than a good thing. It is vital that you show them your appreciation by giving them a gift that is equivalent to their level. You risk losing them as a companion if you do not keep them happy.
