I myself am sure (well almost sure) there is some kind of massive nerf, or miscalculation going on, on any planet you have your level reduced on. As shown by going on the same planet and using a character of the actual level or below and fighting and doing the same things as (it is twice if not more) easier to complete things and kill mobs (Especially heroics). Something is seriously wrong with the LEVEL CAPS and something is seriously wrong with COMPANIONS as well when you are reduced in level. However, I like the companion part as now as like in old days some companions are better at things than others. Some are better healers, some are better damage and some are better tanks. Instead of the misguided one companion can do it all theory they were using that I hated anyway. Level reduction on planets seems broken more towards the mid range levels (40s-50s) on most characters and higher end on some others (40-70)... ie, its twice as hard with a higher level character that has been reduced than with on of correct level for planet IMO, or from what I am seeing on my lame characters that I use with just basic green and blue stuff. Like for example with the companions Jedi Knight you basically only have one companion that can tank Lord S. The rest cannot tank no matter what the level even at lvl 40-50 as well and Lord S at say lvl 15 or 25. Its actually funny. Then again, their are better people who know more about the game and have better explanations of what is going on than I do as I am just a noob. This is just what I see when I play..

I guess some people like this frankly I cannot get any of my characters to work and I cannot stand it. The rules of the game seem to only apply to NPC's and your companions and not you. As for an example "First Son" final mission cannot complete it.. died like 8 times already seems no way to win as you are one hit, both you and your companion. I don't even consider what they have done as a nerf more like a HACK. Basically only Endurance, Power and Mastery seem to be turned on... nothing else is working ie defense, acc, armor rate, etc. for you anyway... its still working on companions and npc's. Something is seriously bugged in the game and it may have something to do with the level caps... ie your 50 on a 40 world as if the npc's get buffed to 50 and your lowered to 40. As an example I tried doing this with a 50 toon and 40 toon on same world and it was easy for the 40 and harder for the 50 on same npc's and area. Ie took more damage, did less damage, skills didn't seem to apply like defense (if this is even working anymore and not just based on class). I have been playing from the start and been subbed most of the time with only short brakes and I don't understand what's going on with the game other than my companion has 3 to 5 times the health, defense, absorption, any character has. Defense in the game seems to have been turned into Push Button few seconds of defense only. Sorry to say the whole of 5.0+ looks like it was developed by someone who has never even played the game, and I feel it was the exact opposite of what was needed. Ill probably end up closing my sub here shortly as I cannot even play without getting pissed.

I don't really understand this post or why you moved to EH. I play on both the server you moved from and the one you moved too. IMO EH is more dead the JC, as all you have to do is look at the GNT, and it seems... lately that more players are on JC than EH. I myself cannot decide if I should put any effort into either of these servers at the moment. I personally think I have better character names on EH, but no one is ever on really and the GNT is always empty really of anything I want or need. I find more things on the JC GNT to be honest, and at better prices. I wish EH would take off and get a population, but wishing doesn't make it so......

Little help would be great, or even a suggestion of what EU English server I can fart around on till someone at EA yells at someone running the servers to fix this for me. Where are the BRITS at, what server are they on...? lol SWTOR gets weirder each patch...

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. Cannot connect to US servers anymore.. only EU servers for some weird reason. Logged off to eat and do some stuff.... when I tired to log back in game loads but is at the pick server screen and when I try to pick on I cannot connect says server error... but I can connect to the EU servers half way around the world... I'm in the US.

Yeah welcome to the new standard of customer satisfaction. We are all sick of this stuff. What ever happened to stuff that just WORKS. Just like that TV add.. Works, works works.... I like stuff that works. 93.25% isn't working...
