uh oh crap, I'll have to look tonight. I had 10 of the solo trophies and the brain from the Dromund Kaas boss in my mission inventory. Hadn't turned any of that stuff in.

Apparently for you, it is:

I think the thing that irks me more than the actual power level of the companions now (which admittedly I haven't played enough post patch to make an accurate judgement on) is the complete lack of communication until the patch almost dropped to even bother telling anyone anything. It's been a month since launch, they can't possible expect people to assume they've been playing a broken/wrongly intended game the entire time with ZERO communication. I wonder had the data mining business not shown up if they would have bothered to post anything at all prior to the patch.

Yea I love the "oh it was easy, I have 220/224 gear" posts. No ****. I hope it's easy for you.

The clue is to go see what was said by BioWare yesterday on this, because it isn't what you assume.

Would be funny if fully augmented operation gear is the new requirement for doing a heroic 2. And by funny of course I mean tragic.

They're not designed for two players. This was stated yesterday. Heroic 2 means player + companion.

Yea technically it is labelled H2 as well so it should fall under that. But it's always been a step above the H2 quests from the terminal.

He's probably actually a lowtechbot and doesn't have a mobile device

Why? Ignore the forums, keep making money. It's been working out fine for years

They'd have to pay me to do that

I really don't think EA needs to close down SWTOR to sell Battlefront units. They'll be JUST fine.

You actually have exactly that option in this game.

Have you been here long? Because this game has specific features geared towards solo players. It's been designed as such. It isn't like most MMOs in that regard. One could make the argument that the group content has been 'bolted on' vs being a core part of the design.

A loud few had a problem with this, causing BioWare to retcon their design of the expansion Or are people actually buying a month later they'll do this and it's just coincidental a vocal minority is also complaining about it? "all part of the plan" indeed

I didn't read the ability to play it in the patch notes

It's a Koth specialty. It's like the one thing he's good at.

Yea theoretical feedback is kind of pointless.

I believe that's the one, it's just there's a bunch of guys before that chasm that you can fight who aren't actually part of the quest. The prisoners themselves are on the other side of it, and there I found the groups to be much smaller. It was that initial crew I ran into that surprised me.

The ones I'm thinking of weren't part of the actual rescue itself but on the way, before you cross the chasm. Maybe they're just supposed to be skipped. I did still kill them but it was close. I'm just curious what they'll be like tomorrow, is all.

Yes, and Eric just confirmed (contrary to what I thought) that reason is because they're meant to be done by you and your companion.

Yea rescue prisoners? I was vigilance guardian with a healer, can't remember who. Now granted this was around actual level too, not me being 65 scaled down. So maybe they're not meant to be done then? I was just a bit surprised there.

There's one I did last night for Republic side on Tatooine where I ran into groups with 3-4 elites AND 3-4 silvers. Healing companion at the time kept me floating (though it was a close call if I couldn't dps things down fast enough). I wonder if that can still be done after tomorrow. It used to be a H4 and from what I could tell they just changed the label to H2 and called it a day - didn't alter the mobs at all.

heh I'd love if you could summon all your companions for something. Complete with them bickering at each other while trying to get stuff done. Solo mode operation
