  1. Possibly Naboo, but personally, I think there's enough planets already. I'd rather they did more with the ones we already have.

    What I might find even more interesting would be have more varied locations on the already established planets. Earth has deserts, glaciers, jungles, plains, etc, so why can't Tatooine for example.

    How about some missions where you go to a jungle area of Tatooine, or a farming area of Coruscant, or winter on the southern hemisphere of Corelia, etc.

     

    IF i remember correctly tatooine is the way it is due to a world cataclysm, done by the rakatan empire eons ago.

     

    If you played KOTOR you might remember that.

  2. So are you saying I need to have all companion quests finished/affection maxxed before I do KotFE? sorry I think I am not understanding. Or will I have a chance later on to do their old quests after I get them back?
    Max affection is no longer related to companion conversation or quests.

    You just do them, depending on wich point you are in you class story. If you already did class story, you can talk to you companions, and finish their quests, to the max right on.

     

    You cant do that if you start KOTFE story. So be sure to do taht before you start the new story.

  3. That's a lot of words to say "Guy posted something at a high price, I didn't pay attention to what I was doing and bought it."

     

    Oh, and it's completely unethical, but it's neither manipulative, nor deceitful nor against the rules.

     

    Pay attention to what you're doing and this will never happen to you.

    Yes lets blame the victim, always, because that is always the right thing to do.... :o

    Its because of things like this, slowly but surely people lose interest in the game. A part of it at least.

     

    For some reason the MMORPG genre is dying and in decline. And MOBAs are taking their place, for quite a while now.

  4. I don't get that "they aren't Jedi" of course they are Jedi....just because the Jedi Order is gone, doesn't make them suddenly not Jedi anymore. Otherwise are Obi-Wan and Yoda not Jedi either?...No they are. Even Ahsoka says in the preview for the newest trailer for Rebels "Jedi business" and guess what also? The Inquisitors are hunting Jedi, which again...Kanan and Ahsoka are.

     

    Even then again, you singled out this one thing, yet didn't address the rest and again it still wouldn't work.

     

    Ahsoka left the jedi order....

    kanan even stoped being a jedi fo a good while. ( he also never completed his training)

     

    As Obi wan says... from a certain point of view... you can say they are jedi because of their connection to the order ( once a jedi , always a jedi, if you folow that mentality) .... from another point of view, they arent realy jedi. Vader ordered the inquisitors to hunt the rebels down ( him and the emperor dont even mention the word jedi to refer to the rebels) , in hopes to track down Obi Wan for instance. It depends of the point of view realy.

     

    Is ventress still a sith? or an sith assassin? after she left dooku? I think not.

  5. Always amazing. You can have a different opinion on the internet and the backlash is always real.

     

    A) I spent about 6 hours doing just the one on Taris, never found it.

    B) I am fine with time consuming, I understand its a throwback quest (There is a reason i mentioned Archaeology from WoW and if finding 47 was the same in KotOR, that's a cool, I never played KotOR because i was not big into RPG's at that time)

    C) Alot of people spoke with said very similar things,"It took me 4 hours to find this piece," "You think the taris piece is bad? Wait till you get to hoth," Took me a few days to complete." When you basically survey about 50 people and get all the same answer it's fair to estimate about how long it should take. When i looked it up, it seemed like everyone who found the Hide and Go seek pieces fast did it when he was newer. Where, when one person found it, theoretically found it.. So, if i judge everything based on what i have heard and what i have read, When the quest was the thing to do, it was infinitely easier to do because of saturation of player. Now over a year later, where there is not that saturation, the quest can take exponentially longer.

     

    TL;DR) I feel alot of you don't understand how the quest was versus how the quest is currently and that I feel as though the quest needs an overhaul of some kind. Whether you agree or not, i care little. To those of you who have given me backhanded assistance: thanks, i'll use your tips to hopefully finish the quest or just abandon it all together.

    You are doing it wrong, or looking in the wrong place. it doesnt take that long to find it. In taris is only near the endar spire area, as soon you see it is within 15 or 10 meters, you just keep looking in that locale. I have done it several times with several toons of mine, it isnt that hard, nor it takes that long .

  6. While this is a bit deviating from the topic I wonder what happened to the heroic 4 in Section X, where you needed at least three, better four players just to beat the game mechanics, not for the combat itself.

     

    I know there is at least one heroic 2 that is at least outstandingly difficult, if not straight impossible, on Makeb due to the game mechanics. (You need to click four buttons in extremely short order or you do and have to restart the mission - it may be possible alone, similar to the datacron on Quesh, but I doubt it.)

    Yes that is why im saying im not sure all the heroics where turned to Heroic 2+ But most of them where.

     

    I did the makeb ones recently, they were all heroic 2+, I did those with a guildie as you need another player at least for that one.

     

    Section X heroic, even if they changed it to heroic 2 + ( i dont know if they did) you still need 4 players to click the things, in the end. it has been so long since i did that one, so im not sure.

     

    At anycase the dificulty of the mobs werent a problem. Only clicking those stuff. The rest of the heroics, arent an issue.

  7. I don't know if Bioware has specifically mentioned that companions are meant to be a de facto substitute for another player. My instincts tell me that that is not true. Personally, I see them more as a stopgap; useful in story to be sure, but much less so in something that is labeled "heroic."

     

    For Heroic 2+ yes, it could always be soloable with a companion. For Heroic 4+ ( wich no longer exists i think) no, you actualy needed at least 2 players with companions. They turned all heroic 4+ to heroic 2+ for that exact reason. So yes for heroics companions would do fine. A player is always better in theory, but you could do fine with a companion.

    Belive what you will. You are simply wrong in this. You simply are viewing companions as pets, like in other games. Well they arent. They can, use CC, they can tank, they can heal they can DPS. Well or at least they used to. Even before KOTFE.

  8. I think PlacidDragon has put it quite perfectly. Bioware intended for the Heroic content to be soloable with your companion, as Eric Musco himself has stated it on the forums. Now, sadly, that is completely IMPOSSIBLE, because the companions contribute not one bit to healing or tanking. They die really quick and you are left alone.

    Even star fortress isnt doable with two players alone as it is meant to be ( maybe if one of the players is a healer). They completely broke the system with this patch.

    who here really thought that the healing companions were working as intended?

     

    I could do any heroic and get 5+ elite mobs on me and my HP wouldnt go below 100% .

    No one is denying that wasnt a problem, and that they didnt needed a nerf.

    However they didnt nerfed the companions, they made them irrelevant. Meaning The companions just dont heal at all.

    And in that situation you describe, your companion would die in 2 or 3 or 4 hits, without healing you squat.

     

    there is a line here, that needs to be walked. Not 8 or 80.

  9. Every single heroic?" The fact that the mission is labeled heroic doesn't really allow for such an enormous variation.

    No It is heroic 2 wich where already soloable to high levels before KOTFE btw.

     

    So yeah they broke completely the concept with this patch.

    Look i dont care what you say. They need to buff companions. Maybe not at the level they were last week.

    But much more buffed then they are now. because as it is they are completely useless. Even for comon leveling on planets. And with that i mean , they dont add anything to the table right now.

  10. It seems to me that this not a problem at all, but rather an objection to a subjective circumstance.

     

    As a subscriber, were you not given a free level 60 character? You wouldn't have to start over.

     

    And again...as these particular missions are labeled "heroic," and not necessary to continue the single player aspect of the game, how can this possibly be considered a "problem?"

    What kind of argument is that?

    Just roll a 60 lvl character? you do know all it does is gives you a 60 lvl character? It doesnt give you any of the class content. Nor SOR ot makeb etc, nothing. It simply ignores class content previously KOTFE. Achievments included....

     

    Im sorry, yes it is a problem. It might be one you can live well with it. Most of us simply dont.

    And you wrong. Heroics are actualy necessary to continue to progress your alliance. You dont even know what you are talking about here. You are just defending something, just for the sake of it.

    Btw my server has high population, and im in a guild. I did all, or most of heroics, back then when they where 4 man heroics. You just needed to do it once. But as it is now, they are grindy dailies needed for several reasons. one of them to futher and progress your solo alliance. Of course i team up with my guildies to do them. But that isnt always possible. And not everyone in the game is in a guild, not everyone in the game likes to play with others, and not everyone in the game has the time for it. So yes it is a problem. As it is now, companions might just be erased from the game, it wouldnt make a difference. It is just sad.

  11. Well the game sucks now.

    I dont know what they did, but it wasnt just a nerf. They made companions irrelevant alltogether.

    There is no point in giving them gifts, because they suck anyway, so there is no point for grinding the heroics in the first place, at least for that porpuse. It has become a non factor.

    They dont even talk to you no matter how many ranks you lvl up. There is no point in even summon a companion.

    Companions where much more usefull, Previously, KOTFE, then they are after this patch.

    After a whole day of gameplay, and sub lost, they patch the game , and completely broke this system.

    Ridiculous.

     

    Ignore them. They aren't ultimately relevant

    Of course ignoring content is always good for the game, and ultimately bussiness. I dont even understand how there is people like you defending what it isnt defendable.

    Changing servers? not a solution for me. I wont start all over again from zero, in another server. Ill rather quit the game forever.

    Join a guild? sure, that is a solution for everything, mostly, i just wonder it doesnt realy need to be.

    You are just offering solutions, for a problem. That shouldnt be a problem in the first place.

  12. Tanks BY FAR. Healers 2nd place. Tho there seems to be way more healers than tanks and then an ocean of DPS. I still don't see why there's so many DPS players, DPS is the most boring role to play.

     

     

    DPS Not fun? yeah what isnt fun about killing things in video games....

     

    tank class is horrible to play. I mysefl play mostly healers and DPS.

  13. What's so bad about dying to another player in open world pvp in swtor

    There's no real penalty to dying they can't steal your stuff like other games.

    I Just dont see why people get so worked up over player vs player

    Time waste of time. It is anoying because of that. You think people have all night? all day? all week? to do the event? or their quests? Time is money for actual subs for instance.

    You just wasting people time, by forcing them to do something they dont want to do.

    its how i see it.

  14. Nox is in the best position, and not through her own means.

     

    Marr wants a strong empire, but is dying. He feels his life Essence slowly fading and knows he will die soon, he just wishes for a strong empire under a single leader. His death will create a power vacuum, a huge one, and he knows it.

     

    But he has been grooming Nox to take over. His fleet has been under their joint command, along with hers, for some time now. Unless her ghosts are expunged she cannot die, and she takes a very frontline approach in imperial affairs, strengthening the whole at every turn.

     

    She's the perfect leader if she can build a power base, but she won't be able to do it in time so he's basically been doing it for her through making Beniko the leader of intelligence, having the Wrath be her ally, and basically making his sphere of military strategy loyal to her almost as strongly as they're loyal to him.

     

    Marr is a strategic genius, when it comes to power plays.

    There is a great flaw in that theory.... that is assuming NOX is darksided, or chose to retain the ghosts at the end of inquisitor class story...

    My assassin alowed the ghosts to go free for instance....

     

    Honestly any sith in the dark council is a candidate... i would say even the empires wrath is a candidate... a serious one actualy... it is all a matter of perspective.

     

    From techincal terms, no player character will become emperor that is for certain. At least until SWTOR is up and running. given that there will be a continuity to Old republic stuff, and assuming that this particular one matter at all... i cant see us know for sure until then.

  15. He didn't nearly assassinate the Sith Emperor, though. Meetra did, though. :p

    That is Conjecture.. since acording to Scourge Vision she wouldnt be able to anyway. Even with his help...

    Appearances often ilude us i guess.

     

    As for Traya, she cleary isnt neutral. She is dark sided, using her power to hide her alignment.

    Or so i belive.

     

    Yet he only used then simultaneously in a moment of Oneness.

    Drawing on them both at the same time, and using both intermittently are completely different.

     

    why would he use a power intermittently? If he was able to do it once, why couldnt he do it again?

     

    I mean obvious stuff happened to him during 300 years, and the split etc... but if it hadnt? couldnt he drawn from oneness with the force again? given that he was himself at that point. When he went to face Vitiate, he knew what to do, and got ready to do it, and blasted vitiate away with that power... there is no reason to asume that revan couldnt pull it off again, if he wanted, given he was himself, and the situation presented itself.

     

    Conjecture i guess, but in my book is as good plausible what if scenario as anyother.

  16. We seen Sidious using Rituals as well. in de facto canon material ( clone wars animated show) , i wouldnt hold it against him, or his power.

    The same way i dont hold vitiate against it. They are capable of doing such rituals, others dont, hence they are powerfull because of it.

     

    I just want to point out a obvious notion here, that im not sure anyone here considered as of yet, as i didnt read the whole thread, alot of pages and all that.

    Im considering, if Vitiate even holds as a sith to even be having this discussion to begin with?!

     

    You know given his nature. he seems more a freak of the force ( or the dark side) then a true sith, he cares litle about the sith ideials, or the sith themselfs, in fact he cares nothing about the galaxy. Or how it should be ruled.

     

    Also lorewise now, the sith dont see the emperor kindly, nor the ancient sith lords ( spirits) ever did see him kindly, or a true successor to the sith ( if the timeline videos are correct)

     

    Sidious seems quite different in this regard if we ignore the Legends universe or former EU, and we only stick with canon sidious.

    Point being There is no doubt that sidious was sith. Vitiate not so much ( or at least debatable), he just pose as it, in truth he is something else.

    Or im incorrect?

     

    Just putting foward the debate...

     

    discusss away. :D
