  1. Absolutely in support of this idea.

     

    As is, I don't dare pvp or do space missions on a levelling character, because doing all the quests already trivializes content. And I *like* both the pvp and the space missions.

     

    We're not asking for an experience slash across the board. We're not asking for anything that affects those of you who are happy with how it is. We want an option to turn it off.

  2. Companion tanks can't really tank in this game anyways since they nerfed them into the ground. Sure fire way to play without a companion? Run with one level 30ish and beyond!

     

    No extra armor mitigation = tank companions are worthless. Any heavy armor DPS companion or healer is superior as they will split agro with you and not get insta-gibbed by 4 mobs.

     

    I'm at 35 so far, and this isn't my experience. Is he as good as a player tank? No. But no healer companion can heal like a player, and no dps companion dps's like a player.

     

    And as for the reply suggesting Corso's harpoon really messes up Gunslingers, I believe it. Which is why I said I'd like to see it save his settings. I just don't want his harpoon removed because one AC doesn't like it. Fix things. No removing them.

  3. Absolutely not to removing his harpoon.

     

    Yes, fix him so he remembers the instructions you gave him.

     

    But that harpoon is what makes him excel as a ranged tank. You can CC something, then tell him to attack something else and he'll yank it out of the way and not break your CC. If you leave it off, you have to turn off over half his DPS abilities, and he fails to tank.

     

    Don't touch my harpoon.

  4. It's even worse if you actually do the math right.

     

    Sprint is 135% movement speed (35% boost)

    Speeder is 190% movement speed. This is 40% faster than sprint speed (190/135). Hey look, a 40% speed boost for the first mount. I've seen this before. Anyway, this is fine.

     

    Speeder 2 is 200% movement speed. This is a 5.25% speed boost over speeder 1.

     

    Speeder 3 is 210% movement speed. This is 5% over speeder 2.

     

    Now, while money certainly comes faster and faster as you level, there's a lot of reasons to say ... nah, I can stick with my first speeder until I'm 50, and thoroughly bored...

  5. I almost don't want them making the interface any better than it is now. Sure, it's clunky, and kinda awful. But right now, the few braving the interface are getting rich off it, while the masses screaming about it refuse to get involved.

     

    Taking the dumb out of the competition pool sure does give you lots of room to swim.

  6. Agreed with this, I'll be leveling at least one of each class just to experience their storylines. Having the option of doing different quests along with it each time is nice for me.

     

    I do acknowledge this is an option - and I'll probably use it, I'm expecting to skip every single mission on Nar Shaddaa except my story quest. It's just not as fun for me.

     

    I'm hoping this comes in at some point so later characters I roll can do everything. I'm a completionist, I *hate* having undone stuff.

  7. I dare you to complete herioc quest higher than 20 with just your companion, you need to group with other players to do those, so your whole arguement is moot. plus if you dont want your companion out send it on missions whole point of the companion system.

     

    This. Even the Heroic 2s are going to be very difficult with just you and a companion. Easier if you're a healer with a tank companion, but still. The Heroic 4s? Forget about it.

  8. Seriously Bioware. I love your game. I love all the stories. But there's so much experience being thrown around, that I have the choice of skipping half of it, or outlevelling and trivializing ALL of it. It's NOT a good choice.

     

    Please implement an EQ2 style "Disable Combat Experience" toggle. I really want to stay and do all the missions, on all the planets, AND be able to enjoy the space combat and PVP, but without even touching the Taris bonus series on my Republic character, I've outlevelled Nar Shaddaa. Like the whole planet.

     

    For those who scream they like the experience rate, please read - I'm asking for a toggle. It won't affect you. It will only help those like me who want to slow down their experience.

     

    Anyone else feel the same?

  9. Dec. 2 for me.

    This totally reminds me of the time when I was 6 and my brother refused to take me with him to see Star Wars when it first came out. I cried like crazy when he told me I couldnt come. After a whole afternoon of crying he finally said, "Do you really want to go?" With a sniffle and a wipe I nodded a hopeful "yes". He smiled, leaned close to me and said, "NO!" as he laughed and walked out the front door.

     

    Your brother is a hero and a role model to older brothers every where. I drink in his honor!

  10. Mmm, so you need to stay within 60-100 energy range.. Does this present problems with AOE burst damage fights?

     

    You do have 1 ability every 2 mins that'll lift you out of the yuck zone, but if the fight is going to have repeated AoE ... tell your group to learn to dodge :)

     

    Although as long as you're not being forced to cast it a lot, you do have decent AoE healing with Kolto Cloud. Once you hit 40 anyway. But I don't imagine a lot of heavy AoE before that (some, yes. Heavy, no)
