Dark Side Corruption in SWTOR

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2020
- Reaching in to the dark side of the Force can grant the user incredible power, but its malevolent energy takes a toll on the user’s mind and body. Flesh and bone lack the endurance needed to channel the immense power of the dark side for long periods of time, and over time, any creature that leans too far in to the dark side will become physically corrupted by its power. In this video, we’ll be going over how the dark side of the Force will change the appearance of your character in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Dark side points fast video is uploading! :)
these types of vids r the best thnx PS: do u have any info on "swoop bike in-game event" ?
You've been putting out bangers recently! Keep up the good work!
Try enabling DS corruption and looking at the other skin colours in the Character Creation Terminal for your pureblood. I think you just picked one particular one that doesn't get paler (pink). Like how some of the black skins for humans don't get pale while others turn almost completely white.
@@bindair_dundat Yup other skin colors and complexions get that pale skin i confirm it since i run full ds pb sith as my main since game launch 👍
You are kind of wrong on alignment not affecting story.
For example as a BH you can't freeze Jicoln Cadera if you are below neutral alignment. Any evil one and there will only be options of how do you want to shoot him dead.
Minor thing overall, but it is there.
I made a black character. Went dark side and the game turned him white lmao.
Michael Jackson.
@@maidormachine Michael jackson was sith lmaoo
Apparently vitiligo is just dark side corruption.
Who knew?
A white person that can say the nword nothing more powerful
That hapend with my char to :D
A trooper made fun of my zabrak’s pale pink skin tone, he found my responses to be quite electric.
Bazinga
lol
Badum-cha
That’s shocking
Surprised that trooper didn't mop the floor with you.
I've always thought in an alternate universe, there would be a light side "corruption": the skins becomes more and more healthy, and the eyes are more beautiful. By tier 5 the character would basically be beaming😂
Also, the togruta change is probably bc their lekku run on a different cardiovascular system from their face(jk
Me too! In KOTOR your character at least got a sparkly background on the character sheet.
@@Swtorista that feature was nice but always seems funny to me for some reason. Imagine Mira in kotor2 singing "blinding lights" to a full light side exile bc she seemed glowing in her peripheral vision (from one of their dialogue)
@@Swtorista its funny they didn't depict that in kotor considering if you are light enough kreia mentions you are glowing
yeah like the sister in mortis arc in clone wars
I love my Dark Side corruption, to the point that I think my character looks weird without it
same xD
Big mood tbh
Observation: Meatbags can’t even make their own choices without damaging their chassis
Query: Aren’t you dead
speculation: a meatbag can change an Hk companion color chassis if the char turned to the dark side lol
Answer: That is wrong they can change my chassis colour temporarily so it may be more appropriate for the mission
Pun : Now I will change the style of your squishy parts by putting a few blaster holes for suggesting such a disgusting thing
@@cloutful Warning: I would advise against such a course of action here, even though it contradicts every ounce of your programming.
Rude request: Silence, meatbag
Sooo you wanna tell me that Micheal Jackson turned to the dark side? Interesting ... :D
Sought after the elder wand too
If you believe the accusations then he *definitely* went to the dark side
Search your feelings, you know it's true.
@@Zenocius But thats not his skin colour....the search for the elderwand was, when his nose fell off^^
lol
It would be cool if for the Zabrak, when they get corrupted their horns could grown and become more prominant. Kind of like Darth Maul during the clone wars after her was brought back to life.
For the Zabrak the horns grow with age, nothing to do with dark side
I wish they would give us an option to just get eye-change and facial scarring without the skin color change.
I hate seeing my red twilek and Sith turn into shrimps.
Shrimp! Lobster!
You have Yellow colour costumization.
I'm fairly certain the eye color and facial scarring are character customization options
@@rjramun Not sure about the facial scarring but for eye color, you can get the yellow eyes but you need to pay for them on the cartel market(or gtn) and they only work for humans IIRC. I know for a fact they don't work for Twi'lek since I've tried to use them on that race and they just aren't in the options.
Sith Purebloods also have yellow eyes by default and Dark Zabrak has yellow eyes with red rims(which is the canon dark side eye change for 90% of darksiders in everything but this game.)
I mean, it makes sense for the Sith to remain their own color. They probably just got a natural resistance to the paling effect, seeing as how sipped into the dark side they naturally are.
looks like I was just unlucky and it was a bug but I like the theory!
I wish you could pick how corrupted your character looks. I personally like tier 1 so I always use the yellow eyes when I customize a dark side character.
That would be nice, but I’m still waiting In vain for hood down option
@@baz5042
Can't have that, they gotta sell you hoodless armors on the cartel market in the future.
@@baz5042 hood up and down option, some outfits have hoods that dont get used for some reason
You can, kind of...just adjust the knob and run repeatable missions for a an hour or so until you are in the range you like
Yasss I've been trying to do this
I guess Dooku and Palpatine toggled their "Show Dark Side Alignment" off, but then Palpatine accidentally flicked it on while Mace was electrocuting him.
UNLIMITED POWERRRR
@Humanity Galatica the only thing sith about dooku is his lightsaber lol
@@homixideyeji5020manipulation, force lighting and rejection of the Jedi. What’s more Sith than that!
I feel like the option to turn the dark side off should be limited. Considering the lore, it could become some sort of an ability we could reach at DS tier 5 called "Mask". The same way Sidious used it to hide his appearance in the prequels and Clone Wars. And even Darth Zash used this to hide her true self from us Inquisitors.
Salute to my fellow Darth Nox siblings.
MURDER AND MAYHEM AWAIT
They probably don't want to restrict roleplayers or people who just want to make a cool looking character. While I love the lore and spend a lot of time reading and exploring it, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Also, guard the sith history well my fellow Darth Nox
@Ho Lee Shi They turn "Show Dark Side Corruption" off.
Just show me where the fun is
Ben17ism HEIR TO TULAK HORD
yeah thats why i was always ok with it, just figured it was pulling a palpatien
Loved the attention to detail in changing the armor colors of the light and dark side versions of the species!
"The Force is not inherently good or evil. Its how you use it." - Kyle Katarn
My childhood hero.
Since Pureblood Sith are creatures of the Dark Side, it would make sense for them to look like their vitality has improved instead of declined with dark side corruption. I really would prefer having a darker tone of red for my Pureblood.
4:10, You're telling me that Micheal Jackson was a sith lord!
yes he knows the ways of the force, he's been trained to use the darkside
Darth He Hee
A SITH LAWD?!
Sammy Sosa too
2:11
*BY THE EMPEROR'S SHORTS*
Deer god!
wtf
Turn it off
0:06 I was hoping for you to say: "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural."
I wish they did more with LS/DS. Some weapons are good, but I think more could have been done with it. Being grey should also get a reward or bonus.
the revanite gear grants grey bonus
@@shovelenthusiast7389 explain please
@@Alithia451 There are several items connected to the revanites which require an alignment betwee LS 1 and DS 1
@@shovelenthusiast7389 where can I see them?
@@Alithia451 I think the alignment vendors sell them
the twi'lek was kinda horrifying
2:09
What about this
@@grandgore8933 Ah normal, look like this every day
I found your channel not long ago and you've helped me alot with the game, thank you swtorista for making these videos 😁
Same here dude. 😁👍
This is exactly what i've been looking for so that i could see what the corruption looked like on a twi'lek character. thanks so much, such a great video. When i asked about doing a vid like this a week or so ago i thought it'd be too much work and wasn't going to happen. cheers for doing it. Keep up the great work and well done on the cool armour website, thats such a help as well
Was that you!!! I saw it in the comments and thought it was a great idea!
Swtorista yeah I asked a few vids back as I want to have a dark side twi’lek SI but don’t know if I’ll like the different stages as I love her red look with the yellow eyes. Thanks for the vid it was supper helpful 👍😁 Just found it. I asked about it in your ‘What is conquest’ vid last week
you (JUST AS MANY OTHERS) may not know but theres specific skin tones for each race that is oddly coded TO NOT SHOW darkside corrupted skin.
like i make all my human males black men and they keep the dark skin at a certain skin tone slider option (i forgot which) but for sith pureblood the first skin option is the one that wont get pale
No wonder why mine is pale, I chose wrong skin color lol
2:10 - that’s gonna haunt my dreams 😂.
Thank you Swtorista! I am new coming in to swtor i really enjoy these videos.
2:09 Thanks for the nightmares, Swtorista!
Really good and helpful video @Swtorista! Just recently began my very first Empire/Dark Side Sith Warrior character and want to reach Dark Side alignment V to unlock the unique force power reward you get when doing that for all you legacy characters, already have “Force Unity” unlocked for reaching Light Side V.
Also, already saw your other “How to earn Dark Side Points Fast” video, once again AWESOME help! Keep doing your thing and thanks for helping to keep this game alive for as long as possible.
Really loved this vid ty so much. been getting back into SWTOR and this has helped me pick my new character
Hey, I found your channel like 2 days ago and now swtor has become my current favourite game :)
I like the idea of dark side corruption, however, I'd like it if there was an option to toggle which stage you would like to be seen at, such as, hitting level 5 corruption, but being able to toggle any level you want instead of being forced to use level 5 or nothing.
you're such a strong and frequent creator in the swtor community glad to see you still producing content after all these years!
Love Swtor. :) One thing I miss in the game is the posibility to fall into the dark side for a Jedi republic charácter. I mean to fully become a sith, with dark side powers, change of faction, etc. Also, I think that one thing that could be cool is to add a cosmetic option to look like the dark side corruption of Darth Sion! With all of the body decomposing and such... :)
that would be neat!
:)
In early kotorII they nickname him “sleeps with vibriblades”
i started playing swtor for the 1st time and ur videos are great! the entire community talks about you, thank you women!
wish we had customizable dark side. Such an easy thing to implement and yet they don't.
We have no idea how easy it is to implement.
@@TheRetifox Things are easy or hard defending on the available people to work on it, and the money being put into projects. I doubt either factor is accounted for at Bioware rn (for swtor that is).
@@TheRetifox What excuse, if it was so easy why hasn't it been done, this engine is old and limited. People still want toggle hoods, but engine limitations prevent easy roll outs. Just adding lines of code to make something you want, doesn't work like that.
This game released in 2013 guys, remember that
@@lespaul5734 Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that EAWare, or at least SWTOR is running on shoestring budget, because EA doesn't know the meaning of the words: "Long-term investment"
My main character is a Togruta (SI), I gave her a golden skin and I LOVE how DS corruption looks on her. Her face pattern is still visible, but it looks less bright and I think it's really cool. However, I kinda liked it better on DS Tier 3, because is was a perfect shade of golden and a perfect brightness of her face markings. But oh well, can't stop being evil I guess 😂
This video made me wanna hop back on my max level sith juggernaut but I've been waiting for more story missions :( everytime they release an update with story missions to do, I always end up beating them in about 30 mins :((( but it's been a while since I got on so here's hoping there's story missions for me to do!
Found your channel today and your videos really help! Thanks!
i can't imagine the amount of time you put into these videos grinding them up keep it up good content
I already know 99% of stuff in any of your vids but I still watch them cause their quality is great
Great job with this video. This had to be a ton of work, and time creating all those different characters. Appreciated, though, because I was always curious about this with different races.
I kind of hate the toggle they put in the game. I think it makes it too trivial turning to the dark side. And... nice voice at the end. :D
Thanks for another great video Swtorista!! HoT always recommends your videos to the newer players along with our own tutorials. :) (yes it's me again, we really trying to beat Steel Court)
Sith Purebloods react differently to dark side corruption depending on their skin colour. I'm not sure why this is, but yeah. This is an observation I made many years ago.
The series helps me a lot
You're a hero we all need but don't deserve. Thanks for this!
My sith maurader looks like he has Murdered 1000000 younglings
Wow! Watched your stream just now and I come to youtube and get a video! 👍🏿
Wait, there is a toggle? ;-) Darkside for life!! Great subject for a video, thank you Swtorista.
You've made me want to play this game again.
Sith Pureblood keeping their red skin makes sense since they're naturally dark side.
this is my new favorite channel :) congratulations
cheers!
Looking at the Fem Sith Pureblood DS Corruption, my own Fem Pureblood got the pale skin, and my Male Pureblood's skin barely paled at all, granted my male one isn't at full dark yet so I'll have to check (Gonna look at your Fast DS points vid for that ;D ) Great video overall!
Love your videos!!
thanks!
No I’m an hour late... we’ll anyway love your toon in the video. Once again I’ll do that thing bc I really want you to get to 100k and OMG your so close 3.5k once again congrats on your website and love your vids :D can’t wait to see much more great content
soooo close!
Rattataki having their face customization mostly shifts of dark side corruption and scarring from battles, makes the darkside corruption redundant a bit... aside from changing the eye-colour my character allready looks like a full darksider, even though I am playing as a good sith...
may the force serve you well
That Darkside corruption on Empire Zabraks looks like Maris Brood from the Force Unleashed game which is so fitting it looks so cool.
Now we can make a fan canon for Maris's pale skin
Wow your voice is soothing!
To awnser a bit on the Sith Purebloods for their corruption. one of the skin tones for it does make sure that you stay that skintone and gain the veins along with the same red eyes the Ratataki get. however the other skin tones on the Sith PB's are likely to turn them diffirent shades of pink or bright orange.
Wow i just found your channel again last time i watched you was late 2015 early 2016
Youre the best love your content
They should add a cosmetic dark side corruption option where u can choose on which stage of corruption your character looks like
Enjoying it much more to switch off the corruption and put on yellowish/orange eyes
Love that much more
Thank you
Great video, love your videos, can you do a video on recommended healer and tanks?
Honestly I recommend all 3 healers and all 3 tanks :) The Meta changes between patches but all are viable.
The sith Pureblood not going pale is one of the skin options for them.
Like your video 😊
I just wish they did something w light side, like make them flawless or shine w inner light, anything would have been cool
This is honestly such a cool feature.
A Sith Sorcerer without any corruption would look strange, imo.
i have always enjoyed your videos . so when are we having the one for the goody two shoes side
none for them, nothing change with light side "corruption" you look the same :)
I wish that the yellow Sith eyes customization options were available to the Twi'leks. The Twi'leks look amazing with those orange/yellow eyes!
You and me both. Same with the Togrutas as well (their Stage 5 DSC skins are horrible!)
Nobody:
Michael Jackson:
Honestly ever since I played swtor (A few months after it's release back in 2012) I never knew this effect and hopefully one day can play swtor on a better computer and witness this or experiment with it.
I remember play my zabrak sith inquisitor and having him being as red as Darth maul. (I modeled him after maul) then when I finished the story I decided to look through some character customization and I clicked the little show dark side corruption box. It was a night and day difference on how red he used to be, oh when he was innocent
I love your voise swtorista, its soo sweet and nice :)
I belive the very pale pure blood full darkside was a bug. since they are a species that are native of dark side focus point energy(might be the same type of bug the nautolan had) You can usualy tell what the dark side effect are acuratly by looking at certain npc, I think its supposed to get the pureblood a shade paler...but to go as far as white was too much for that specific race.
Awesomeness
oooo never have seen full dark side corruption up close i have a fully corrupted warrior and inquisitor but i never have seen how dramatic it was
I wonder if the fact that your Pureblood doesn't change her skin much is result of some lore rework. Sith Purebloods are naturally attuned to the dark side of the force and thus they should be much more resistant to it. I was always wondering why they even do have Dark Side Corruption option. They basic dustomisation allows them to have bright red and bright yellow eyes and orange one that is in between.
If any at all their dark side corruption should make their eyes go pitch black as we've seen it be the case with Tenebrae's original body.
It would have been really cool if the rest of the races could use the cartel yellow eyes as well, Either that or be able to select which dark side tier you'd want the appearance of
Dang girl, dig the face cream and eye shadow
Zero dislikes. As it’s supposed to be.
Love your vids.
For my nautolan chars ds corruption does not work on custom outfits. It just turn itself off right after im closing window where you can check or uncheck that. It only works on outfit/armor that my character currently wears. Im still unable to find an fix for that.... 🤔
I mean is there a better swtor Channel ?😂 ur the best
So I got a darkside on level 2 constantly but recently just opted for the orange eyes and hiding level 3 because customization of darkside might never come, that yellow eyes pack is good tho its like 3 levels of darkside and crrtain complexions look great
Agh I love you so much. I can't handle it
4:38 Michael Jackson WAS a Sith Lord I knew it!!!!!
Cant wait to play this fall
The dark side corruption reminds me of like the perks you get from necromancy from west of loathing
Самое забавное, что я не замечал этих изменений с цветом кожи, так выходило что привыкаешь и забываешь изначально лицо персонажа, обалдеть. Respect
Heya, how come I du not see the select Dark or light side in the lower rith side of the screen, I just cant find it!?
What is the name of the set shown on 30-40 sec mark? By the way, loving the videos!
In lore, the accurate dark side corruption eyes would be the same ones Zabraks have, iris and pupil wise.
Zabraks are the only playable race with them but multiple dark side NPCs have them as well which really bugs me since I want them on my dark side characters. I wish they would add them as an option for everyone at least. I'd even take it as a cartel market item at this point.
The Sith Warrior has alignment-specific story elements. An entire companion changes 180 too!
I know it's been almost 2 years, but just in case you and anyone still don't know, the Sith Purebloods do turn pale, however if you use the Skin Tone 1, then they will retain their red skin. It's only that skin tone that keeps its pigment. (I tested this myself, and you can test it yourself using the character appearance modifier station or whatever that thing's called)
Yes I got so unlucky when picking this skin in this video!!
Fun fact: the Iris change in the eyes are called “sith Eyes”. It’s usually the first indication an individual has turned to the dark side.
I wish the devs would add more twilek customisation. Specifically dark side eye colours hate the forced pink skin colour.
It should be noted that when you start as a Republic character you will have the "Light" part of the "Light vs Dark" selection, so be sure to click the "Dark" button if you want to be Dark Side. Imperial characters are the reverse.
If you used skin type one, I think it is for your pure blood, that skin type doesn’t really change colour, you still get the veins and the eyes though.
5:56 this dramatic music xD
