"Blitzing" Affection / Light|Dark Side / Social points

[Hyde]

Just a quick FYI, Chrisax and I ran Esseles (regular mode, ie, L10 group-level mobs).

Approximately 1 hour to run it, probably less if you blitz all the dialogs.

Results:
* 250 Light Side (probably only 150 Dark Side)
* 205 Affection with my companion (without worrying about looking up all of the right answers so probably 250 if optimized)
* 98 Social for me, 94 Social for Chrisax

Requires 2 people to do it for the Social points, but you can do the Light Side and Affection solo.

PS. I think if everyone hits the same answer on each dialog, minus Dark/Light possibly, you get more Social points ... but we didn't bother to coordinate this. For blitzing sessions I recommend agreeing on everyone spacebar-ing through dialog and hitting option "1" for all answers UNLESS you need to avoid a Dark/Light side option. You could also optimize your answers for affection but I don't think it will be enough difference to make up for the lost time and Social points.

Precision: Hyde was 20 and I was 50. (Yes, Hyde's always been a gimp. )

So, at level 50, I got almost the same results as Hyde at 20:

* 205 Affection (I used Zenith who was around 6000 when we started)

* 94 social as Hyde said.

* 250 light side points BUT I don't care as I'm maxed.

* I guess I got like 64 legacy points (not sure)


And I totally agree with the comments hyde made:

- optimize answers (all agree on the same ones, except if LS/DS choices)
- blitz chats with spacebars

Is only a 1 per day thing?

I guess you only get companion affection if they are present? If not then you can get more social points by going with 4 people and no comps. I guess it depends if you need social more than affection.

[Chrisax]

Your companion has to be present, to my knowledge. I gained points for Zenith only it seems.

Since this is not using the HardMode Esseles, it should be repeatable within the same day. I think all of the regular flashpoints are repeatable.

For L50s (who want to blitz social/side points) the way really seems to be going only with other people over L25 ... you can skip all of the base mobs and just do the bosses, meaning you can complete it in around 10-15 minutes. A 50 going with a 10-25ish has to kill everything and takes 45-60 minutes.

Just FYI
