So since EV is currently broken on the Soa fight (almost but not completely impossible if you are lucky to have someone who can see the invisible platforms or someone who has them memorized) are there any plans on some sort of fix so people can still try to get the achievements and title before it is completely removed?

They are going to do a blog about the blogs before they release a blog explaining when we can expect the actual blog to be released

That is just not true anyways. Every piece of gear you need to do HM drops from SM, and in the old operations every piece of gear you needed to do NiM dropped from HM. Commendation Gear has lower needed stats and higher endurance. Commendation gear is not required at all, and with the poor stat distribution its far better to work on optimization in either 192's or 198's from hm's than it is to worry about saving up comms to buy a full set of ultimate gear which is worse than optimized 192's.

I think the big difference between pvp and pve is, warzone commendations are the ONLY way to get gear (and is also way more expensive than pve commendations gear). And to those calling PvE Gear "major" you've obviously never looked at the stats. Unlike PvP Gear, its almost all complete garbage stats wise

Whatever floats your boat. Just stop accussing people of wanting to game the system for asking a question that has been asked and answered prior to other patches, Again just because you choose to play one way doesn't mean other people or wrong or "gaming the system".

wait wait wait, so my character that is married to like 2 companions and 1 npc.. that's all ggonna be remembered? I might be in trouble

You do realize they told us,roughly a month or so before SOR was released what was happening to comms? So why exactly would it game the system to let us know what the comm conversion, if there will be one, is? Oh I forgot, you just like to be contrarian to be contrarian because you are incapable of adding anything to any topic unless its negative.

That's not entirely true. Right now you can get to 60 in less than 30 hours if you do it right. Which means class content probably takes less than 20 hours. In KotFE Class Missions will take roughly 30-50 hours to complete according to what the Dev's said on one of the streams. Now that is STREAMLINED from the current model which I believe they said takes roughly 150 hours to complete (assuming you listen to every cutscene, etc). So while it will be faster than it currently is with no xp boost, it wont be as fast as it currently is with 12xp

I missed the part where DOHboy became a Developer and could tell us exactly what will happen with mats as we have them now and that we are getting a new tier of gear, especially when all of the existing (unofficial) information contradicts everything hes said, which is why we need someone official to explain it instead of someone who doesn't know

Maybe I have just had good experiences but I've typically found communicating with the people that are at the pylon works if you let them know you aren't really there to pvp and are just trying to get the daily done. Worst comes to worse you either don't do it or switch instances to one where there aren't people guarding it. It IS a pvp area and we aren't forced to do it. It also gives you zero rep tokens so theres no reason to do it if you don't wanna deal with pvpers

That might be fine for you. Bravo for you. That's not how we all play. And until you pay my subscription, you don't get to tell me how to play or prepare. You are free to go be small minded and drink the koolaid if you want,. I am free to think for myself and demand bioware keep their promises which is all I am asking for and expecting. If you are going to say you will release a blog, then release it. You aree free to be a small minded bioware apologist

Not true. They've promised specific blogs (uising things later later this week or within the next couple of weeks) and then we never hear about it again. As to what changes I could possibly benefit from knowing? If certain mats are going away (and we have info from dataminers that implies that is happening) I'd like to know officially whats going away so I can know whether to eat through my stockpiles now or if they will have a place and use in 4.0 (even if I don't know what use, knowing they are not on a list of mats being removed means they will have a use) There are plenty of uses for that knowledge. The fact that you are too small minded to see it doesn't mean it doesn't actually have a use. It just means its of no use to people like you

The fact that it doesn't matter to you means it cant possibly matter or be useful to anyone else right? I forgot I was paying my subscription to play the game the way you personally think everyone should play or prepare for upcoming changes the way you want. And if they promise something, I want them to fall on the "we kept our word despite the fact that we might get our feelings hurt because people didn't like it" thing not on the well **** it lets just do nothing cuz gamers on the internet might complain if we keep our word

I think that they have had plenty of time, and we've gotten virtually nothing short of a couple of blogs released in the last two weeks and some info released on the livestream. It'd be one thing if people were complaining and they were releasing info regularly but they are not. At this same point with SoR we had a wealth of information at our disposal about what to expect with the new changes coming. This time around, blogs and info we were promised weeks ago haven't even been delivered on. It's almost as if Bioware's plan is to tell as little as they can get by with, and its disappointing with the major overhauls we are seeing to various components of the game, to know we are going to have to fly blindly in with little to no info because Bioware cant even release the info they promised us.

Maybe I am wrong but I could've sworn there were at least decorations added when strongholds came out that are exclusive to the collectors edition vendor and unobtainable by anyone else. We can argue whether that constitutes regular updates or not, but they HAVE added things more recently than 3 years ago

Except those items were promised as a reward or bonus for purchasing said expansions, so it was only logical to think you needed to buy them to receive those bonuses. The rewards here were not billed as requiring access to KotFE. The only stipulation to receive said reward was to be subscribed by the date listed (which presumably those people did) and you would get the rewards when the expansion launched. If what you are saying is true, then they should have said you would also have to be subscribed when the expansion launched. They didn't. You don't make promises and then change the terms and conditions after people meet the criteria.

I see what you are saying now. Under what Bioware told us originally, they would get him. Since Eric and Bioware decided to completely change what we were promised, apparently not.

I've been in stores before that have the prepackaged items that either say "Buy 1 and get the 2 one free" or have a smaller similar item with "50% more for the price of 1" and seen those items as more expensive than purchasing the same item in a single package

That's the problem. Before every Cantina Event people have expected that we will get some type of big information event, and it hasn't happened so far. I for one am not holding my breath that this one will be any different than SDCC, Gamescom, or the Livestream

Actually yes it did. It had several different rewards and said explicitly all the rewards you qualify for will be delivered via in-game mail when the expansion launched. It was right there the entire time.

Had someone in raid tonight with the same issue. Opening a different window and then tabbing back to the launcher allowed them in with no issue

Which is where my gripe comes in. I have zero problem with him being behind a wall and us having to enter the expansion to get him. That's fine whatever. BUT, you tell everyone that WHEN you promise him as a reward. You don't say hes a reward if you subscribe by x date and all rewards will be delivered via in-game mail when the expansion launches and then a month after the date is gone you come back and say nah you don't get him until you recruit him in the new expansion. Bioware made the mess. They could have worded it so much better, with no spoilers, by simply stating "Subscribe by August 10th and you will be able to recruit Nico Okarr in the KotFE Expansion" and all of the complaining goes away because we all know what to expect. They didn't do that, and I for one would like some more explanation of why. I know I wont get it but I want to know why we were promised rewards and told they'd be delivered via in game mail and now we are told something completely different, a month after we paid our subscription and earned the reward.

Yes he was. It's listed on the subscriber rewards page. Subscribe by August 10th to get Nico Okarr as a companion. It has been heavily advertised he was a reward for being a subscriber by x date. What rock have you been hiding under?

I don't know what server you all are playing on. Here on the Harbinger its booming. Certainly not dead.

12 XP has zero to do with whether not an augment kit gets outdated. You can use MK-10 at level 1. You don't advance through each tier as you level. If you are upgrading your kits as you level, that's your own fault for wasting all that money when you could have started out with mk-10's and never had to upgrade. However there is an argument to be made, whether you agree with it or not, that this will be the second or third time in less than a year we will potentially have to upgrade again at great cost. And it isn't just 588k to put 14 kits on, you either have to farm mats and craft to get components to make kits or purchase the kits which is all an additional cost either in mats or kits. Its actually closer to 1.2m per 14. if you consider the current market value of each kit.
