Just tried this last night, and I can confirm that it is broken. Lvl 75 shadow do’s with lvl 50 companion, irating 306, with 4 piece set bonus. I got to Doom droid and gave up after dying multiple times and using up all the Kolto stations by the third fight so I had none to use for the rest up until doom droid. This is definitely a scaling bug, and bolster is not working either as far as I could tell. This was not fun, it was aggravating. And yes, the rewards suck for the difficulty. All I can say is that this syncing issue better be fixed with the next patch. There is so much content that is unplayable because of this problem. On top of that, the last boss Zoltar is part of the conquest objectives this week, which further aggravates people trying to get their personal conquest goal done. Of coarse I can knowingly believe that there will be no developer response on this, or any of the other issues with level scaling and mobs/bosses being impossible to beat. This is just plain wrong , especially for paying customers like me who want to do end game content. It’s like a cruel joke to players like me that have been playing loyally since beta testing @ Eric Musco, this is getting no attention or answers, which I find to be unacceptable. Are you even listening? Also, I again spent in upwards of 300k credits on repairs to my armor just doing this broken quest line. Please reduce repair costs. It’s not sustainable to unwealthy players, and makes the game unenjoyable. There. Rant over. I’m not the only player that feels this way. Hopefully someone will listen and do something about this mess soon.

No. This does solve the veteran’s edge buff, but does not make the turret mission complete able. I just tested it and I still get melted, and that is with using the aoe and shield wisely. This is a level scaling issue. Ever since 6.0, everything has been at least 30% to 50% harder to beat anything. It needs to be toned down a few notches. This is happening to all my characters that are above lvl 70, and have above 300 irating. Everyone is now complaining about the few people that wanted more challenge. Now we all suffer. Fleet chat is rampant with complaints. I’ve sent in numerous bug reports and cs tickets and I got the generic response that things are working as intended. I call bull as I have played almost every day since 6.0’s release, and it is absolutely true that everything is too difficult. Note, I am a veteran that has played this game since beta testing, and I have never seen anything like this. I am not the only person that knows or feels this way. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Also, repair bills are getting outrageous from dying repeatedly. I’ve literally spent millions of credits on repair bills in just the last few days. This cannot be sustained for anyone except the super rich people that buy from the credit farmers. Sorry to be so blunt, but these are the facts.

Just tried the world bosses in Ossus. Droid, we got it, but it took twice as long, and everyone died MANY times. Swarm lord, entire ops group wiped three times and we gave up. Not doable. This tells me other groups are having similar problems. Or are not doing them at all. So much for the conquest points on those. Can’t complete them. They are simply way too difficult. Everything needs to be dialed down about 50%. And to top it off, I got another 200k repair bill. Thanks a lot.

Copied from my post on just about everything being way I’ve never filled so many bug reports and customer service tickets ever in my entire time of playing since beta testing. Other players are constantly bickering about this All content including the Pirate event “Turret mission’, are way too overtuned. Outrageous repair bills are making me and other players broke. This is not sustainable. Veteran and master mode missions are impossible to complete. In general most everything is too difficult. This is a serious problem that needs addressed immediately. DEVS PLEASE CHIME IN!!! Not a single word from any developers as of yet. I am going to keep on posting about this issue until we get some solid answers. It’s become rediculous to everyone I’ve talked to and no one wants to do certain content now due to the outrageous repair bills from repeatedly dying over and over. Companions are getting one shorted by normal mobs, etc. This makes the game not fun to play, and quite frankly, extremely maddening to say the least. I know for a fact that I am not the only one that feels this way. A fix is needed ASAP, or you are going to lose more players than you are gaining.

Ok, here goes after searching through 40 pages of bug reports just to see if I am not the only player this is happening to. From my research, it seems I am not the only one. Yesterday morning, I decided to run KOTET from the beginning on Veteran Mode, since I haven't done it yet, and I want the achievements. Granted, I expected it to be difficult. But not this difficult. Note: I was playing my Sith Warrior, Lvl 75, Item Rating of 305. With that level, and irating, there should be no issues right? Well, wrong.. I managed to slog my way through to chapter x, Note, dying multiple times due to my companion getting one shotted by groups of normal mobs up to chapter X, and after I got through it. The pair of bosses at the end of chapter X were impossible to solo, and I was forced to bring in a guildie to help me get through it. They were still almost impossible to beat. Ok.. after chapter X, I made it to Chapter XII and the fight in the dark cave with Vaylin. No companion available due to story restrictions, this is meant to be a solo quest. Vaylin kills you within 10 seconds. there is no workaround, as I have tried everything. Note: I have been playing this game loyally since beta testing "Founder". I have never had the issues described above happen like this, ever. I am now stuck with that character and cant seem to progress the storyline or get the Veteran achievement for that chapter. It also seems that you cannot invite a friend into this instance, and the only way to escape that I have found would be an emergency fleet pass. I am worried that using the fleet pass would screw up the quest, and I would not be able to get back there to complete the mission, so I logged out in the cave after dying 18 times. A guildie told me to turn it back to story mode, but that is counter productive, as I will just have to do Veteran mode on another character to get the Veteran achievement, and run into the same issues described above. My analogy; The level scaling is not working/bugged. There is no reason a irating 305 level 75 toon shouldn't be able to do this quest. This is making me want to NEVER play KOTET again. This is Gamebreaking, unplayable, no fun, maddening, etc. This is not the only quest/boss that is doing this either from what I've researched. It is happening to everyone. FIX THE LEVEL SCALING ISSUE! You are losing more players than you are gaining because of it! PS: Just yesterday, I have paid over one million credits to repair. I would like to be reimbursed. Fix that too. It is FAR too expensive to repair your armor after the new expansion. I am NOT a wealthy player, and this is also a gamebreaker. If all of this is a known issue, then I found very little mention of it here besides a few players stating that certain mobs are impossible to beat. Not a single word from Devs. Is this supposed to be a big joke to us Vet players? Are you sitting back in your chairs watching us die repeatedly and laughing? Working as intended? I think not! Other affected players please reply here so we can get a fix on this as soon a possible, as the Story content is currently UNPLAYABLE!. Make your voices heard!

My CE arrives today at 3pm.. it shipped last night at 1am.. Now that's fast service!!!

As far as i know, your pre order code will not be removed if you cancel your order. Once it is in the system.. it is there forever. So.. I would say no on losing your crystal. My CE shipped an hour ago. I would imagine that it will arrive either tomorrow or the next day. Reason behind the early shipping, anyones guess. I would say because so many people got shafted, and now they are making up for it, or, they are competing with Amazon because they are now shipping as well. Many already have theirs in hand from what I've heard. Oh.. and a crystal comes with the CE too.. so.. maybe now I'll have 2 LOL...

Paid $171 and some odd change for mine after tax and next day shipping. No I would find it unfair, "as others have quoted", that the content of the CE be available to people who don't deserve it, or in other words, don't want to pay that much, or spent all their money on beer instead... whatever the case.. NO. I am imagining riots in the streets, anarchy, and the downfall of society if BW made a terrible mistake and made those features available right away. I agree that maybe down the road a bit make it available for a price. This is a wonderful proposition for BW. For all we know it has already been meticulously planned. There are vendors specific to the Digital Deluxe edition as well. Not sure what is on those yet, but possibly something comparable, maybe not either. If you are so intent on the guild RP thing, I would suggest that you make it mandatory for all members to own a CE. That would solve your issue.

Mine just shipped this evening from GameStop. No pre-order code was offered. The way I got around this is I purchased a digital deluxe edition from origin, and they sent me my pre-order key within minutes of the transaction. My CE will be here by the weekend because I got next day shipping. So I will probably cancel the order for the digital edition. Doesn't make much sense to pay twice. But at least I got my code one way or another. So.. up to you if you want a pre-order code, I would go through Origin. It was fast and easy. Then order your CE from GameStop before they run out.. again. That is if you really want the extra goodies as bad as I did. Hope this helps you decide what to do.

I sure hope they are not overselling it as this is where I have mine ordered from.. It should be illegal to do so anyway.. selling something they don't have.. I nabbed next day shipping just so they know I'm serious.. but my card has not been charged yet, and will not be until the item ships on the 20th.

I am remaining hopeful, but do not trust a hope... Dec 8th here due to much suffering. I can wait until Friday if things are to be that way.

Ok.. guess I'll finally break down and post to this thread.. Entered my pre-order on December 8th.. And its looking like we will not be going in tomorrow. They said they will get to the end of November on Thursday. So it is looking like we will be in on Friday at the latest. Chin is up, and my collectors edition will be here on the 21st. Already have DDE purchased so I can play right on through...

So good to see more of you posting. I am too still awaiting judgement on when i will be able to log in.. haha.. but at least I'm patient and not a complainer. Hoping for things to go smooth tomorrow and everyone gets in, but if not, oh well. I played on Starsider from right around the time JTL was released and on up until about a month and a half before they planned on shutting it down. So ya, after seeing many great moments and fun times, there was a fair share of disappointment as well. But that is water under the bridge, and a new adventure awaits us here. I have chosen a server "that is if it doesn't fill up before the next few days" to play on as my primary. I chose Rubyat Crystal mostly because I played that one in Beta testing. I also found a nice republic guild there "see Sig for info". Anywy, keep the posts up, it is always good to see any of you still playing.
