I don't think the difference between a Vet vs. MM Operation is purely an increase in health pool and a decrease in enrage timers but an absence of mechanics. I never argued that I find Vet Ops boring and tedious because I'm walking around in 258's. I said While the difference in health pools and enrage timers are increased/decreased when you jump into MM Operations/Flashpoints, the penalty for not accurately reacting to mechanics is increased immensely. I was trying to argue that BW does not have, in my mind, a decent attempt to introduce players to mechanics that will hurt thus players not being penalized for ' standing in stupid '; take in point to the last boss in Athiss flashpoint - healer needs to cleanse the dot that he throws out or it hurts...a lot in MM Athis but in SM Athiss it is purely a tickle the person can counteract with popping their health pack. I'm not going to argue Raiders versus Casuals because that is not the thread topic. I do think the numbers drasticly decreased during the lull of 3 1/2 years without a new Operation and many people left the game due to that. I know my Empire Guild went from having 13 Raid teams every week to 2 during this time.

Don't forget, we can heal to full Yes, went old school

To caveat on this discussion, I wish to add the degree of competence one develops while leveling thus carrying this ' god-mode ' into Story/Vet Ops to HM/MM Ops, sorry Im school. The difference in someone running a story mode operation and then going to hard mode is a huge difference. BW has never really had a good idea/plan to introduce mechanics as something that needs to be done to kill an OP boss but do you think you can try. I am not arguing for easier HM/MM Operations but I am convinced that Story/Vet Operations needs to be made harder otherwise the person progressing into hard mode is in for a rather rude awakening.

Well that patch has come and gone and **** is still not corrected. Consume the light +2 heroic on Ossus, companion still bugging after killing first Jedi Master, wont enter the arched doorway heading into next room. I dismiss then resummon, otherwise all companions just stay at the doorway. Companions who are put on healing duty will not stay healing but will attack opponents when you are trying to kite a mob. Put companion on Passive before the "pull/kite" will make the companion act normally but then putting the companion back to 'active' to get some healing only makes the companion attack your target.

Jesus fart balls you folks are pretty goddamn stupid. Does anyone at BW play the game anymore or are you the lvl 70's running around Korriban , Ord Mantell, Hutta and Typhon will those big mounts RP'ing? You could have taken my monthly sub and by now, could have actually bought a ' clue ' and yet here sit, reading once again, that you just cant fix stupid

I unsubb'd two years ago due to lack of content / Operations. I came back for two months in late February for two months to do the content that has been added. There's too little content in the game right now to have a subscription.

Good morning ' wonderful , thoughtful and insightful ' members of the Dev team, It might, just might, be time to bring back the PTS. This way, when you 'feel' you have made changes to the game for the betterment of the game, the public can test out those changes you fine folks have made to see if it actually works as intended. It baffles the mind that you would institute a drastic change in game without a prolonged testing or a slight increase in the tutorials but hey, who cares about that kind of crap, let's make a twitter vote to see if someone wants to kiss Arcann or not or 'Vote now for either #Team Nico’s assassin droid, HK-55 or for #Team Shae’s manipulative mastermind droid, SCORPIO.' not...that's a good use of your time in development isn't it.? Has any of the changes ever been tested by someone not on the BW payroll. The lack of faith in anything resembling an intelligent decision in the future of this game by those receiving a paycheck from BW is growing. Seriously, the fine folks who ushered in these changes should go play tag with cars. ps. auto-loot is still broke by the way pss bring pack the PTS ! PSSS. if you were serious, there would be a maint. day tomorrow and all those 'changes' you mentioned would be implemented

The Stronghold bonus still applies but has been changed. Each owned Stronghold counts for a 25% bonus, up to a max of 150%. Sorry to all you “Stronghold full of chairs” owners out there. Does that include copies of each stronghold? Due to the merger change, I have several DK / Tat / Corsc strongholds, do they each count?

Since the Collector's Edition arrived at my house back in the fall of 2011, I have been playing this game. Years later, after trying to create new toons on new servers just for something that feels "new", with the release of KotFE I dropped my subscription. I have stored enough unlocks to play as I once did as well as a few million credits to friends I know for O'sh*t purchases'. I see no reason to pay for something I can get for free. Using this LvD sh*t to mask once again 0 news/updates/teasers/hints on the possibility of a new Operation or once again f*cking the long term player base ( like we havent already leveled numerous alts just for sh*t and giggles-and now we HAVE too for this new content) I really could care at this point.

Thanks Eric

Patch downloaded and I am able to log online. Thanks for the hard work to get this resolved quickly. The seventy cents I lost by not being able to play at exactly 11:01 until now isn't really a loss. If I get upset over seventy cents, that I have much bigger issues in life than a video game. Once again, thanks for getting this resolved

This decision is beyond stupid and puts the decision to drop 224 gear in Highlighted HM Operations in the rear view mirror. I dont raid I should not be able to acquire the BIS gear ( unless I pay handsomely at the GTN ) by running a hard mode operation. 8-9 people spend 3-8 hours a week finding the right combination of gear and classes to defeat a certain boss, 5-8 hours a week ( sometimes more ) in voice chat together grinding away to defeat NiM content as it challenges them as players and you take one of the biggest rewards for doing that away? *********** stupid

Currently within 4.0, there are only a few repeatable crafting missions during conquest; Conquest: The Trade Emporium, Conquest: Titans of Industry, and Conquest: Total Galactic War. source: You will find dates and other useful information from the link below. http://dulfy.net/2014/08/07/swtor-planetary-conquests-guide/ cal

Some? Ah, the entitlement generation is abound with acts of complaints. Go outside, call your Grandmother, how about read a book? LIfe is not swtor

Instead of arguing about stat balances and bolster , why doesn't Bioware just implement a 55-59 Bracket for pvp or 53-59 ( taking into account the increase in implant/earpiece stats attainable when hitting 53)? Or do people think this is just masking a greater issue concerning stat balance via bolster enhancement?

I now know what a long-tailed cat feels like in a room for of rocking chairs...As If I needed more grey hair in my beard. Well done Republic, well done indeed...Thank you for a Great " fight ".

I know nothing about computer code so I am unaware how difficult this would be to attempt but a nice feature would be to allow raid members to enter any Operation via Guild Flagship. Using the ' escape pods ' on a Guild flagship to enter an Operation, giving the raid leader a " drop down menu " as to which Operation to enter. I also think allowing Guilds the opportunity to add a ' Priority Transport ' on their flagship would be well received by the population. ----------------------------------------- If BW wants to add a cost / crafting mats, so be it...Why not have the price set to 150 War Supplies of each type for each unlock? To add one more thing, fixing the "code" which would allow people to switch from group to raid while invited group members are still in their Strongholds and/or Flagships. As it stands right now, you can not convert to a raid while an invited group member is in a stronghold/flagship. This is not a huge issue as you can just remove that person from the group, change the group to raid and then re-invite but it is bothersome... Any thoughts?

You have probably received a few replies and/or might have already found a home in the game. If you are still looking, I suggest you visit our websites and see if you and the Guild might be suitable. Pandamonium Cal

After reading several of your posts / replies, I am surprised you feel " taken " by Bioware. It seems your Guild and yourself put a lot of emphasis on the Guild Stronghold, ie; reading upcoming notes, PR releases, grinding materials for future crafting, farming credits for the cost of the stronghold, etc. Did you not learn about what you can and can not do on the PTR ? Or was the one thing you did not do?

Does Pandamonium raid ? check Does Pandamonium pvp ? check Does Pandamonium run flashpoints? check Does Pandamonium enjoy GSF ? check Does Pandamonium take part in Galactic Conquests ? check Do you have to do any of the above? NO We do not care what interests you have in playing this game.

These websites might help you out some; 13 Cheeses Cheese A few good Cheeses At least you have something to eat with your " Whine " . You honestly made a thread to get people to respond in hopes that some stranger will convince you to play a damn game?

It seems that you have run into some bad groups. I would suggest putting those folks on ' ignore '. You will never again see their tells nor be grouped with them in a Group Finder Fp/OP. You would want the game loot system to make up for this injustice by allowing you or to be fair, any person to get a shiny while completing a mission/flashpoint/operation. I do believe this game has such things; they are commendations, either Elite or Ultimate , sometimes both in which after acquiring enough, will allow you to purchase gear. MMO = massive multiplayer online While the game does not "force" a person to join a Guild. In my opinion, joining a group of people with like minded interests as myself and playing this game together makes my time within the game that much more enjoyable. I would take some time to peruse the following threads to see if there are folks with similar tastes and expectations for the game that you have. Reddit Guild Recruitment Server forums pick your server than select Guild Recruitment at the top of the page If all else fails, it is a game.........you did not get a shiny and some people in your opinion are d*cks..its the world / internet. .Sh*t like that is going to happen

The 'exploit' could have been solved if BW would have attached a rider to the flashpoint/conquest point system. If the Conquest points were attached via Group Finder and GF only, PVE players could still; group with Guild members ( tank,healer,2dps) Instant que's for those ^ Disallow the solo "zerging" of BT/Ess on SM for conquest points / ensuring level based flashpoints per party Would still allow PvE players who had taken the time to acquire high level gear ( 186 ) the ability to 'speed' up the flashpoint but not solo/invite 3players at the "conquest point accumulation " dialogue I have no idea about coding so I am unsure as to how hard the above solution would be to implement within the game confines...
