  1. Just logged in and saw this on my character too.
  2. On the last day of my sub I would like my dying words to be, "Thank you, Dulfy!" arrrrgghhhh ....
  3. Because without them, chapter 10 would have taken 15 minutes.
  4. Heh, our guild has about a half-dozen or so members making the same move. See ya for the Shatterer sometime.
  5. FYI - You had a typo in your hyperlink. Fixed link: http://www.remnantsofhope.com
  6. If story is the only thing you care about, I suggest saving your sub until all the chapters are completed and then do them all at once.
  7. Well, now that you're all big and grown up I suspect that in the future you will actually read things like terms and conditions before you buy a product and won't be surprised at things that are rather plainly stated from the beginning.
  8. We cleared it in HM on Tuesday night after patch and didn't see any issues like what are described here.
  9. Sadly, the new direction of SWTOR with KotFE does not justify a monthly subscription anymore. While I can appreciate that SWTOR wants to differentiate itself from other MMOs with its focus on story and friendliness to the solo player, it has done so at the high expense of grouped content. Also, for a direction that is “all about story”, it has less of it than ever before. There is only one new story with minor deviations regardless of class or faction. For me, the storytelling in RotHC was actually far superior, providing an interesting angle from the two different factions with each contributing to the entire picture. It could be played just as easily with friends as it could be solo. So now on top of LESS end game content, we actually get LESS story that happens to be designed in such a way as to make it prohibitive to do in a group. The little doses of above average story content does not justify a monthly fee for an MMO. It has to be repeatable story. KotFE would only become repeatable by dramatically increasing the variation of the story or making it fun to play with friends. KotFE fails very badly at both. The latest release of chapter ten was an exercise in frustration and I do not have the will to complete it again. The combat design is atrocious. It is not challenging to have scripted aggro pulls with constant slows and enemies that can shoot from a mile away – it’s simply annoying. Each additional chapter of SWTOR’s new direction feels like it was done on the cheap with the most unimaginative ways to artificially extend playtime. SWTOR has some very special qualities and I have fond memories over the laughs I’ve had with friends from conversation outcomes. Working together to complete new content was very rewarding all the way through the Dread Masters. If SWTOR ever decides to return its focus on making enjoyable grouped content again then I’ll likely be back. Until then, I’ll be spending my MMO money on a game that isn’t ashamed to be an MMO.
  10. 5/10 It's a companion alliance quest with additional cutscenes and a nice choice-and-consequence twist at the end that is dragged down by excruciatingly annoying combat and simplistic quest design.
  11. Take care, Scarlet, and thank you for being a positive contribution to the community.
  12. It's because of the possible romances from the flirt lines. Can't have other players infringing on the all important dating sim mechanics.
  13. You're not alone there. I have moved on to other games for grouped content with my friends and my sub is hanging by a thread due to some progression raiding we still have left to do, but that won't last long. It's not simply the lack of PvE end game, it is the movement towards making grouped content overall cumbersome to do, or in the case of leveling alts, inconceivably unchallenging (solo is bad enough). I'm not going to judge it stupid at this time, though. It certainly isn't why I played the game, but as to whether or not it has a niche with the kind of people who are drawn to play an online, subscription based single player focused game - time will tell. It wouldn't be the first time I shook my head at the success of a game I couldn't relate to.
  14. Yeah, sorry to be the harbinger of disappointment. You may also want to bookmark this for future reference when you get to KotFE: Why KoTFE will suck to play with friends… and How to Mitigate the Damage SoR is pretty sufferable the first couple of times you run it with a friend though, so enjoy.
  15. That's not really true. As soon as you start Shadow of Revan on Rishi, you have to do all the instanced story content twice (excluding flashpoints). That was not the case in the prelude, with some minor exceptions.
  16. When you begin the quests on Rishi, instanced areas will now be treated as though you were both the same class doing the class story lines. That is, you can choose to enter your own instance or the instance of your friend. Whoever owns the instance will be the only one that has the ability to make the conversation choices, so you will have to do every instance twice in order for both of you to progress the story. It gets even worse in KotFE.
  17. Here is some feedback , for what it's worth. Every time you change the way these packs work, I go on hiatus from buying any of them. It takes time to analyze the drop rates and value. A little stability someday soon would be nice.
  18. Greetings Phabulous and welcome back. New Outriders has an active PvE end game schedule on both factions, so you wouldn't have to choose. Feel free to read our recruitment thread and see if our guild might be right for you. Good luck on finding a home.
  19. That's a bit like going home and kicking your dog because you had a bad day at the office.
  20. Right, we must have been standing too close to the tank, thanks.
  21. So is everyone else seeing DPS taking upwards of 80k damage from electric discharge with just a single stack of double destruction?
  22. Hello ZeroAnjel, You might want to take a moment and read our recruitment thread for New Outriders. We have quite a few new recruits who are new or returning to the game as well as a strong contingency of veteran players. We play on both factions and have regularly scheduled end game content on both sides every week. Best wishes on finding the right place to get the most from the game.
  23. Can confirm that I experienced the same resolution. Ship was gone and not restored in my decoration count, but when I re-logged I could place it again.
