Nope. I am sure that this all part of their plan to combat inflation. Get a load of people to unsub, never play again and thus take their billions with them.

These scaling issues had been raised on PTS (try to run Eternal Championship as well, enjoy your multiple deaths and good luck to anyone who is going for the timed challenge). Have they fixed anything prior to the launch? Of course not.

I don't understand what the heck people are complaining about. I've never had so much fun than last week. In ESO.

That's some real level of white knighting right here.

LOLOLOLOL PTS had the same exact issue. You hadn't time before 7.0 goes live to "investigate" it?

I came back to ESO 2 weeks ago. I hadn't played for 2 years. Guess what? I don't even have to grind for new gear, while new sets have been introduced during that time, the ones I am using are in no way obsolete. They have reworked the champion point systems (basically more stats after lvl 50) and I had to re-allocate all my points but I feel in no way gimped. So basically I came back after a 2 years hiatus, no grind to do but plenty of new and engaging content.

I personnally would not accept a higher sub for the promise of better content. Deliver quality and my sub and fidelity will follow. Not the other way around.

Actually the end of SWG was all about giving, not about taking away. You had the possibility to get crystals that were no longer obtainable for instance. And they were still working on QoL and new mechanics until the end, like atmospheric flight.

They spent a lot of time making sure that we were stronger... not. https://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=10001090&postcount=137 If that's so, I'd like to know why the first relic that I got has the same stats than a 306. Not talking about the stats per se but its effect. https://i.ibb.co/VS7cfcv/relic318.jpg Why is a 318 relic granting 2892 crit rating, which is as much as a 306 relic? I don't expect to be all powerful with that kind of rating (although I have played on PTS, grinded to 326, fully augmented and I certainly didn't feel any increase in power, on the contrary... I guess that's a benefit only to the NiM raiders since the rest of us are just peons) but why is a 318 relic not a step up from a 306??

It was exactly like that during my first on PTS where I started a character from lvl 1 and couldn't figure out why I couldn't do the random flashpoint when you get to the fleet. Figured that the selection of flashpoints for that week required to be lvl 50 at min. Level 50! Obviously they've only heard what they wanted to hear from the complaints.

LOL I certainly didn't feel stronger on PTS. So unless you spent the last couple of weeks to double our survivability, DPS output (hello 75% of flashpoints bosses that enrage) and healing output, it sounds like a blatant lie. Oh you meant the NiM raiders who will be able to use mods and go beyond 326 iRating while us plebes will be stuck at 326.

"So it begins."

LOL a $40 edition for what? What you call expansion, every other MMO merely calls that update. Less abilities, lesser gameplay, lesser gear (no, no operation that only a tiny fraction of the player base can clear, especially with the balance mess that 7.0 was on PTS), a handful of hours of story content and I should pay no less than $40 for that? LOL

Even your correction won't work like this. The only thing that matters when running flashpoints is the weekly (that you can do 3 times on each character). The gear that drops from flashpoints will never give you a higher rating than your current one so you can't just spam a flashpoint to gear up. You want the weekly crates, those are the only ones that will give you an upgrade. And to complete your flashpoint weeklies, you need to run randoms, you cannot specify which flashpoints you want.

We get a duros comp in GS2. You can still live your fantasy with him.

You found a bonus series, they come up on the 8 main planets (Taris, Balmorra, Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine, Alderaan, Hoth, Belsavis, Voss) after you finish their story arc. If I recall, before they became repeatable, you had a mission to come back and meet someone to start the bonus. Now, just be on a lookout for these NPCs around the spaceport.

What?

This "expansion" is looking more and more pathetic by the day...

What a great anniversary celebration!

To complete what I said earlier, here is one of the GS weeklies that I had this week: Coreward Worlds Daily Sweep Complete [WEEKLY] Daily Area: Black Hole (x2) or Complete [WEEKLY] Daily Area: Onderon (x1) None of these are available on the Activity finder this week (Section X, Oricon, Makeb). https://i.ibb.co/pKM1Jzj/20220124215051-1.jpg With the change to how weeklies now work, you can't go to the daily area to pick the weekly from the mission terminal since the only way to get the weekly is through Activity finder. So it was impossible to do this GS objective. I really hope when it goes live you that you make sure that GS objectives match the weeklies from Activity finder.

Oh come on, this is Ilum you are talking about. With sub lvl 75 flashpoints, you can get away with undergeared people since stats like Mastery and Power are capped, so they don't really matter. Basically in 306 you are overgeared for this content. Lvl 75 flashpoints (Meridian, Spirit of Vengeance, Secrets of the Enclave) are a different beast. There is no cap, every point of stat matters and being undergeared is easily felt. Just the matter of HP, you'll be far behind everyone else meaning that the highest peaks of damage (Troya Ajak in SoV with her AOE, the terentatek in Enclave for instance) will get you close to death if not dead. I can't count how many people in 280 died from these bosses while everyone else was fine. This is purely mathematical. Try to do the graul with an undergeared DPS, you basically end with only one DPS to clear the adds and if you are unlucky that the geared DPS was picked by the adds, you're in for a bad time.

Another day and again Belsavis since it is the most common WB for whatever reason... and obviously it is once again broken on Satele Shan. Not even a word about investigating possible fixes. They are just relying on the players to police the issue, which will NEVER going to happen. Pulling the adds away, either unknowingly or on purpose to break it should NOT mess with its respawn. The responsibility to fix the issue lies in your hands, not ours. If you don't know how to fix its respawn, there is one simple solution: REMOVE BELSAVIS OFF THE POOL OF WB DAILIES.

I am split on this. For sub level 75 flashpoints, level and gear don't really matter so underleveled and undergeard players are not an issue (well, healing a boosted and inexperienced lvl 70 tank in 270 can still be a pain). On the other hand, for true lvl 75 content (Meridian, Spirit of Vengeance, Secrets of the Enclave), every point of stats matters as there is no more cap, gear does matter for this content and I am all in for locking undergeared players from it. And the question will remain with 7.0 as old content is brought to lvl 80. I have worked on a few toons on PTS for the titles and just gearing from 318 to 326, I could already see a huge difference in performance. Blue 326 isn't even that optimized and some fights in MM can be hairy (heck most bosses enrage on PTS).

This is nothing new (except for the fact that stealth no longer drops combat in FPs/ops): never stealth when getting near the last car, it has always be known to agro the turrets.

This is going to be fast since I haven't seen any PUG going past the first boss in MM. Why have a tank when they are rendered useless due to the boss having no agro table? That would be acceptable if the damage output was lower (thinking about the rancor in Karagga among the other bosses of that type where the damage is moderate on a non tank) but here the damage is on the upper side between the pounces and... the uncleansable DOT. At which point does an uncleansable DOT that ticks for A LOT seem like a good idea? Especially when RNG can suck and the same person can get several stacks in a row?
