by this (silly) logic, couldn't your raid group also just pop an xp pot and THEN run NiM content to gear up? The epeen in video games these days is so flippin' ridiculous.

Out of curiosity, what happens to Command Crates once you hit CR 100? Will there be a way to earn more on your main character?

For real! Have the devs said anything about this? It looks ridiculous!

only in these forums can cancelling a game to focus on school be considered misguided priorities and responsibilities...

the pre-KOTFE cap of 10,000 "affection" was translated into Level 10 "influence" and the cap was raised significantly. This will be true of all companions. No, pulling companions out via the terminal has nothing to do w/ story content- they are separate; just as (I think?) if a companion "dies" during the story, you can still call them as a companion outside of KOTFE.

This isn't new at all. MMOs have had "access quest chains" going back as far as like... Everquest II.

Stun Wars: The Old Mechanic

I think the OP is confusing "jet pack" (as in the sub reward) for "hovercraft" because... public education and we live in a world where a Segue with no steering wheel is a "hover board".

Stun Wars: The Old Mechanic.

This is the best thread ever.

No it isn't. Direct feedback is the form you fill out when you unsub. This is just a guy looking for a cookie. I'm firmly in the "just leave" camp. I've never come onto the forums to gripe after I left a game. Dollars to doughnuts (and I'm sure he'd never admit it) is that he's a sad panda and he wants the world to feel his pain. He wants customers (new and old) to come to the forums and see that the game has clearly "been set on fire" and people that post like this do so because- in typical internet fashion- they don't understand why other people don't see what they see. Why don't they hate the game, too? Some people just want to watch the world burn.

This is such and original and unique thread! You are totally the first person ever draw this parallel! No. For real. The first. Like... ever. Really. It hasn't been done at all before. Ever. It's a totally unique and original thought you decided to share with the community. Like... really original. Thank you for making this observation. I mean... we were just sitting around thinking to ourselves "Man, what are they doing with this game?" But, you know... now that you... you know... pointed out this totally original and unique idea... we are all grateful. No, really. I mean... I'm so glad that there's not already about 50 posts like this and that you brought this to everyone's attention. Kudos to you. What other gems do you have in store for us? What's your take on level synch? Got any pearls of wisdom for that?

I believe the only way to obtain them now is off of the GTN from those that got them yeeears ago for the limited time they were available.

To be honest, I was never really that much of a fan of them. I never really liked the way you had to bounce between them. Class Story: "Help! Everything you've worked for is at risk and (insert major character here) is trapped someplace with a bomb that's about to go off!" Planet Arc: "****! Okay! I'll be there as soon as I can... I just have to do these like... four things first!"

No. SoR is available at level 60. Hmm...

Same level?

Thank *********** You!

bahahahaha.

Oh please. That looks great on paper, but, it's simply not true. People have made it to "endgame" (ie completed 1 - 50 content) and still not known their ******es from their elbows since this game launched. The current level of content won't stop a person from correctly learning their class if they want to do so. For instance, I've never played a Vanguard/Powertech like... at all. Couldn't even begin to tell you what any of their abilities are- as a results, as I level through the Trooper storyline, I'm teaching myself how to play the class correctly. Level, my companion and/or the "abilities" of the mobs have very little to do with it. The same people that don't understand their class now are the same people that wouldn't have known how to play their class at level 50 four years ago. People need some personal accountability.

People act like the 1 - 50 content was impossible prior to 4.0. It wasn't. It wasn't even hard provided you interrupted once every 20 levels.

I love that both of you believe that what you did was acceptable behavior. You are both what is wrong with this game.

You do not lose influence.

It's not broken. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. People that know how to play their class and are correctly geared don't use it because PUGs are broken. People need to be better at the game. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=861380

I wasn't being sarcastic at all. When I first heard they were putting in SM however many years ago it was, I thought that's what they were doing- SM/NM/HM/NiM.

Fine. put a set bonus on the 208 gear.
