Questing Timelines (spoiler free)

For anyone who had played both Empire and Republic sides I noticed something while talking to my partner that we found amusing. When leveling your level is almost the timeline of when events happening.

Without giving any details an example is in Taris you worked to gain control as a republic person at an earlier level. In the later levels on the Empire you visit Taris and a lot of your quests are actually to undo the actions your Republic character did because of the effect it had. I personally thought how they decided quests to be almost in a timeline of events from one to other makes it really interesting to level both as you then get the cause and effect.

I think this is the first time that I have seen an MMO do this and thought it was really neat. Has anyone else noticed this? Did you like it?

Jon,

I haven't actually had a chance to experience this yet, my highest lvl Imp toon right now is only lvl 12 and still sitting on the fleet twiddling his thumbs. This sounds really interesting and I can't wait to experience it!

I was actually thinking the same thing. I have a Jedi Shadow and the equivalent Imperial Sith Assassin. And yeah, there are definite correlations. I seem to get to the places later on my Sith. But the planets and their missions seem to be about the same level ranking though.

For example, my Jedi did a level 29 mission on Alderaan as a level 29. Later, my Sith did a similar and undoing level 29 mission on Alderaan, but he was a level 34. (Not exact, but approximate)

That's what it seems like to me, at least. I could be completely wrong about the comparable level rankings. I need to start paying more attention. Luckily my characters are at similar levels and places in their story so I can observe this more easily.

My Jedi Consular is my highest character at lvl 36. I finished the Balmorra quests with him which entailed freeing the city of Sobrik from the Imperials. So it was weird for me when I later got my lvl 16 Sith Sorceress to Balmorra to find that Sobrik was still in the hands of the Empire. I suppose if I had been levelling them together this wouldn't have happened and the events would have been linear. Oh well, live and learn.
