However, the dev stream went over some of the finer systems, like the group finder and changes to Legacy as well. That’s just about everything for getting started in Knights of the Fallen Empire. Crew skills will come automatically applied but companion roles can now be switched on the fly, allowing you to switch between healer, damage and tank. However, to spend these manually you will need to toggle the option in the advanced settings menu before starting the game. Once you are in the game, if you are starting off with a brand new level 60 character, you will start off with a set amount of utility points. In all, you won’t feel held back as a new player who simply wants to get in and enjoy the story, you can essentially play this like a single-player game. Traditional levelling resumes once you start the Shadow of Revan content though.

However, since the start of the expansion is geared towards new players, you will only start off with three skills.Īnother thing to note is that once you start Knights of the Fallen Empire, you can’t go back and play through the base game story, Rise of the Hutt Cartel or the Shadow of Revan expansions with that character, though side content will remain. The good news is if you do want to play through the old story content, Bioware has organized things so that players can level through 1-55 purely on class/story missions, rather than needing to farm side quests for XP.

Players with a level 60 character already can jump straight in but if you are behind on your levelling, you get one free ‘start at level 60’ character, while creating it you can pick your advanced class and discipline before jumping in to the action. Those wanting to jump in to the brand new story will need to be subscribed. This week, Bioware held a developer stream, where it went over key details for those looking to play Knights of the Fallen Empire.

However, we haven’t known much about the new expansion until now.

Earlier this year, Bioware announced that it would be launching a brand new story expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic, known as Knights of the Fallen Empire.
