Skill Tree Question?
Skill Tree question? I would like to start off with I love this game. Please do not screw it up like Battle Front with micro-transactions!!!! My question is will it be possible to, or will it be ...

EA_Lanna,
The skills tree looks like it has more to it. I have maxed out the current skills tree. It looks like it could go deeper. That is was what I was referring to.
Thanks for the quick response.

Once you get ALL the skills, it's easily enough. To put it another way, if a 62 yr old fart like me with aged reflexes, dexterity and minimal counter/saber finesse, can beat it on Grand Master, you'd no doubt be overpowered to have more skills. A lot of the skills I didn't even use.

"I feel so outplayed right now..."
LOL, not so sure about that. I had many a face palm clumsy moments myself, even on the default difficulty mode. Sometimes it's more about determination than skill.

That sounds very Jedi to me :D
Yes, you are correct, I beat the game. However, I want to know what the extent skills tree is going to look like.
Hi everyone
When I started playing, I’ve noticed that besides the semicircle ( where all the current skills circles are housed ) right above there’s another full circle although smaller .. it contains allocations for more skills .... and also on both sides of that there are two even smaller circles.
Maybe they will be activated with the next game download or update. It looks like at this stage was only a drawing, design just in case in future they’ll be a use. Or the simple reason..... it was only made to fill in the screen and give the impression of more skills to come.
cheers

To confirm - at this time there are no extra skills to be obtained once the Skill Tree is maxed out.
at this time...
i live in hope for dlc or something like you can import save into the next game and start with more skills unlocked :D
Well, here is my opening strategy that saves me headaches and makes the whole game more fun and playable for me, pardon the spoilers:
SpoilerFirst two skills after overhead slash you need to get are "Survival Skills" and "Superior Blocking." Then take "Dash Strike" and "Sprint Strike." After you finish up on Bogano, go to Dathomir, and flip into "Story Mode" difficulty, and grab your double bladed lightsaber, and you can very quickly fill up the Skill Tree by grinding from that respawn point back to where you find the life essence, brings you around to a nice clean loop. In the easiest difficulty, it's a very fast grind. This is also a great way to practice game mechanics like blocking, dodging and parrying, because Nightbrothers are the ultimate training partners. I would grind until you've filled the skill tree plus 6 unspent skill points, and then raise up the difficulty back to Grand Master or whatever you had it on and go to Zeffo. From there, no more grinding, and you should have ample skills to adventure through and reach get the next huge skills when you need them which include "Mass Push," "Grasping Pull," "The Power of Friendship," and then "Lightsaber Mastery." The skills I leave until the very end are "Burst Slow," "Howling Pull," "Switch Attack," "Whirlwind Slash" as these aren't real game changers.What are some early skills that you think would help me or anyone else starting the game have an easier time in the beginning? I noticed that on Bagano (as an example), some fierce enemies can take huge chunks of your health early on, almost to the point that you can't be hit or you'll die.
I think Survival Skills is a necessary one as well as Improved Stims, and Force Attunement (since slowing enemies helps a bunch).
I think a lot has to do with your play style and play preferences. That said, it wasn't till I was 2/3rds of the way through the game before I understood the importance of stint/force management and adjusted my tree build accordingly. Some tips from my perspective (and play style):- Don't be fooled by the linear play. While this game is largely on rails, you can explore and should (sooner rather than later). I did not do enough of this early on and missed upgrades and character improvements (i.e. additional stints) which would have helped in the more difficult fights.
- It is ok to fail in order to learn what will work against a difficult enemy. One of my complaints with this game is that the "boss" fights differ drastically to the gameplay of regular encounters (Stormtroopers, spiders, etc.). They are much more difficult and techniques learned in regular gameplay don't seem to apply as easily to "boss" fights. Toward the end, I took a few deaths to just try and figure out how the enemy behaved in relation to my abilities.
- Get good at dodge, block and parry. Practice the timing of this with easy troopers and creatures.
- In terms of skill tree, balance (cheesy I know) is key. While survival and force are important to stay alive during a difficult encounter, so is a solid skill-set in lightsaber. Some of the lightsaber skills further up the tree really help with the challenging fights. Early on I felt that health and health management and crowd control helped me quite a bit.
- Top skills that helped the most:
- Agile deflection
- Grasping pull-Get this ASAP after Zeffo and use it! It is amazing.
- Mass and Howling push- again crowd managment.
- Power of friendship (late game)- I should have caught on to this sooner.
- Lightsaber throw
I had a lot of fun playing this game, even with the jump in difficulty levels for encounters. I hope you get back into it and enjoy.
Good luck!
