"Oh no, someone raised valid points on the internet, I MUST ridicule him". The game in its current state is by far too easy, troll all you want but that is the sad truth. - Ecc

You're talking about the Towers of Hanoi encounter in Karagga's? Yeah, even though it was only 3 pieces I find it to be a nice switch, and something you can actually call puzzle after the disappointment that was/is pylons. - Ecc

You shouldn't be allowed to play multiplayer games. A companion got like ... what, 20% of an actual players performance? By that logic, an item with 100 [mainstat] drops, each point of that grants you 1 additional dps (living in a wonderful world where everyone is dps and nobody needs tanks and healers) - so this item would grant your companion 20 dps and someone else in your group 100 additional dps. You're saying you'd roll need on that because it would give you a MINOR increase in dps - and not even that, it would just give you a minor increase in DPS in different situations, this item upgrade would be completely worthless to your current group - whereas someone else could hugely benefit from just that item. Please, go and play any singleplayer game that doesn't fail to mention you're the hero about 500 times per hour (ironically enough SWTORs storyline does that too, maybe that's why so many selfish idiots feel attracted to the game), clearly multiplayer gaming is not for you. - Ecc

Just did it on hard mode again - waiting for the southern pillar to solve the row before the northern started did the trick. Keep in mind that we got the console-not-clickable-bug several times before in the same lock. We did not synch the solving. - Ecc

Same with IA weapons, supposedly concerns all classes.

Did it as a same level Sniper. Too much of the developers to ask you to use more than your DPS-rotation-skills once in a while? I found it was a nice challenge and something that woke me up from the endless quest-treadmill. - Ecc

Along with the Pylon Event in EV Hard and the still remaining Gharj Instakill issue. That Bugfix really worked out nicely.

Insulting whiny casual players are apparently much nicer to listen to than those elitists you describe, noted.

Several threads have been made already. Bw just tries to do their best ignoring the issue.

We haven't really had problems with it, as a Sniper (read: Glassiest Cannon ever) I haven't been onehit either - just try activating defensive cooldowns, onehits should not occur, other than that keep everyone maxed on HP. Surprisingly this is one of the few unbugged well-working encounters (now that the Turrets work properly). All I can tell you is "bear it". - Ecc

Happened to us too. That's 6 days of no more ev normal then ...

To defend myself: Yes, I am a terrible human being and a loot whore for only thinking about the equip progression my members undergo as a raid leader, clearly I should be happy about being some kind of pioneer to begin with and thank bioware for every dps we now lack in hard mode because of the added challenge. Now can we please get back to topic instead of pettily discussing semantics? - Ecc

As elitist as it might sound: You don't really need any gear, you're good to go for EV normal once you hit 50. Had no problems clearing it with a group of fresh 50s. There are some DPS checks but they are extremely minor. - Ecc

Oh yeah sorry, forgot that, I'm still crying over my lost Soa loot so I suppose between all the tears I forgot to mention this seemingly MINOR bug.

We just killed Soa and finished EV, but at a rather high price: a) Chests are still not lootable if Loot Master is active, good job having it in your patch notes. b) Soa sometimes Mindtraps the TANK (!!) c) Soa sometimes just disappears upon entering Phase 3 (or 5 if you count the Stairphases). d) If you die during the Soatry or get mindtrapped and your group destroys the mindtraps after killing Soa the trapped people just bug out and have no way to reach the boss for loot, there is no elevator down, nothing. Yeah, that's one patch I looked forward to and one giant disappointment I now have to stomach. - Ecc

Yup, he's bugged. It supposedly works if you do not deal damage to him during his channeling abilities (Force Storm, Boulderthrow) - haven't tried that out yet though, kind of annoying with a BH tank who applies a dot on Fillerhit.

Oh you'll be so pleased to see how BW handles (rather: screws up) looting after you manage to get past the not-spawning bug.

You can pick it in the dialogue. Need to be level 50 obviously.

Yes, but then the fact that only certain people get something seems odd. I agree that giving out 8 items per boss on an 8-man Operation would be too much, which is why I'm for removing this system altogether, or at least giving people the choice to return to traditional loot distribution once every Operation and Lockphase.

Yes, it is seriously overtuned. If you interrupt his Shield ... thingy (1.5 Sec cast, first time after he spawns his first addwave) he does not reset aggro. But the pressure on Tank and Healer are immense to say the least. Enjoy your hours of trying. - Ecc

Same problem in EV today. This needs to be adressed.

Had the exact same Issue on 4/5 EV today. It's completely broken and demands a fix immediately. Don't assign loot - either make the loot "normal" like you already do in Flashpoints or assign an item to everyone (which seems ridiculous considering the gearing up phase would be lowered significantly). Additionally, fix the bug with Chests. Other than that I'm actually quite pleased by EV and its mechanics, despite it being a little easy. - Ecc

Yes, you can develop skill whilst being unable to see your dps results. Obvious troll. DPS Meters are something that will make it into the game anyway, be it by parsing combat logs or through an ingame addon, just let us take the easy way ... it's an important tool for both measuring one's proficiency and evaluating others to a certain extent.

You paid for a game releasing on the 20th, everything else is bonus. Wambulance dispatched.

Condoms.
