Breezed through Chaps 1-9 with no deaths, or anything even close. Didn't feel like I earned anything really, it was more "given" to me. I get it, it's about story. Would be nice to have a heroic option for Chapters 1-9, or 10+ going forward.
Until I got to Heroic 2-mans star-fortresses - then I started dying. Seems like that's what they were aiming for. You HAVE to have comp affection AT LEAST at level 20 to even make it solo, and use Heroic Moment regularly.
Anyway, I also am/was advocating a comp nerf. But, I see it's a good challenge in heroics 2 mans. Just not regular content.
