    Invite a Friend Program - What's My Incentive?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Let's face it, if I am going to go to all the bother to convince up to three friends to sign on, shouldn't there be a reward for my efforts?

     

    I guess they simply want us to do these things out of the goodness of our hearts. Anyway, doesn't this offer seem to smack of desperation?

     

    Either you're coming from the angle of "That MMO which starts with W" which promises ponies and etc fluff (promoting greed)

     

    Or you could be those who sell "trial invites" for vile mercenary gains which again comes from "That MMO which starts with W".

    You must complete missions before you can do that

    Hey guys I have been getting this over normally done quests such as talking to my companion, doing the space combat missions once a day. Not sure why this is happening can anyone explain this?

     

    1st possibility:

    It means your questlog is full.

     

    2nd possibility:

    You have 3/3 Unclaimed Completed Quest Rewards windows hiding on your top right corner of your screen. You need click "Accept" on them.

    This usually happens when you send your companions on crew skill missions and they come back at the "wrong time", thus causing a jam.

    Armstech - whats is the point...?

    you outlevel everything sub-50 within an hour. so, again, to prove my point. anyone buying anything for sub 50, is just clueless.

     

     

    in comparison to what? quest rewards? columi gear rains from the sky at lvl 50, take out the mods, and throw them into a gun like Fast Credits, and you have a gun that's better than the columi MH, and a lot easier to obtain.

     

     

    so, these are the people who are bad at leveling, that they need the extra gear to help, or, they're so slow at leveling, that they actually make use of the gear they spend money on?

     

    i guess i'm unlucky then, I'm on the heaviest populated server on PVE-West (The Harbinger), and there's a decided lack of the idiot market to profit from.

     

    I guess you play Republic... Imps outnumber Republic by 5:1.

    Got to 20 and finally got Gav round, nice ability. I'm close to getting the healer companion on Taris so we'll see how she plays out. Full sets of Trooper gear (along with guns) from multiple Hammer Station / Athiss runs thanks to some guildies.

     

    So far it's a lot of fun blowing stuff up. I'm frankly surprised by the sheer amount of aoe's commando's get. That and I can take on champions like a . . . champ with Jorgan.

     

    Not sure if we are playing the same game though, here's my bad experience:

     

    Aric is just an over-estimated, over-glorified gunslinger with

    - No cover to reduce pushback or dmg

    - No talents to reduce cast time

    - Clad in heavy armor

    - His DPS goes lower than Tanno Vik when the mobs are slapping him

     

    Aric is crap after Level 20+.

    Can't even solo Taris Heroics 2+ (1 Gold + 2 Sliver Mobs) with Aric

    - Tried Gunnery Spec and Combat Medic Spec

    - Ammo is a problem at early levels.

    - +6 Levels above mob, using Purples at current Level

    - Taris mobs have this annoying disease that reduces health and armor by a stacking %.

    - CC'ed the Gold, Turned off all AoEs

    - Combat Medic Spec kills too slowly, doesn't heal enough, not enough ammo to Re-CC the gold

    - Gunnery Spec doesn't shine at low levels so you get the picture that you can't do enough dmg or even heal.

    - Combat Medic or Gunnery Spec can't hold aggro and prevent mobs from slapping Aric.

    - Aric will always be stuck at casting Aimed Shot.

     

    Playing Aric is survivable until Taris. As for Taris, you will have to skip trying to solo Heroics. Taris is both a chore and a drag.

     

    You will start to shine as Gunnery with Elara at Nar Shaddar.

     

    Mobs get harder at Tatooine. Normal mobs in Class quests (after cutscenes) can kill you with ease.

     

    Remove Full-Auto from your rotation until you spec Curtain of Fire. Full-Auto is a DPS and Ammo Loss without the correct upper level specs.

    Nadia's Urology?!?!?!

    Did anyone else catch that?

    Spoiler Alert

    After you deal with the sith that murders nNadias father, once back on your ship you will view Nadias fathers will holo. At the very begining he says something along the lines of viewing Nadias urology, lol w.t.f is that about.

    Anyone else hear that???

     

    Eulogy. Please activate the subtitles option lest the twisted and depraved human mind gets the better of you.

    Starting Zones are heavily favoured toward sith.

    So, wait... I'm confused.

     

    Jedi get MORE content (it took you longer to play through it, even though you spacebarred conversations), and this means Bioware favors Sith?

     

    Doesn't this mean that there's more gameplay per level for Jedi than Sith? Wouldn't that be favoring the Jedi? ("Hey, I just noticed we've got a lot more Republic content than Empire content for the starting worlds." "No problem, just kick up the XP gain per quest so they don't notice it's missing. What are they going to do? TIME how long it takes to show there's more stuff to do as a Jedi? Who'd do THAT?")

     

    What am I missing here? How is lesscontent a goodthing?

     

    Did I misread the times you posted? I've double-checked, but I'm capable of admitting I could still have missed something. Clarify, please?

     

    I presume that you are happy with the 50 item Auction Limit per char and that you don't need to roll alts for muling, crafting and crew missions.

     

    Repeating the same content for umpteenth time would be torturous and masochistic to most casuals.

     

    Running longer distances and killing more trash mobs doesn't equate to more and better content

     

    I haven't even mention about the Empire superiority in numbers of Level 50s on the PvP servers, griefing the Republic lowbies.

    Companion questions?

    You'll get Elara Dorne at the end of Taris (around level 20 or so). Alteratively, you can use your ship's protocol droid.

     

    Ship protocol droid is crap because he has a handicap of a Main-Hand slot and Offhand slot. Your heals and dps are simply watered down.

     

    Stick with Aric instead and don't solo Heroics 2+, even if you spec full heals, and at +6 Levels above the mob/quest requirement, you still can't do the Heroics 2+ in Taris.

    Gunnery with Elara Healing is squishy at Class Quest Fights

    I'm using the Armor Penetration Cell.

     

    - Even when I'm +6 Levels above the mobs with Blue gear, 4 widely spaced out standard/weak mobs and 1 silver is enough to slaughter me and Elara (example Tatooine).

     

    -It's not possible to position myself well since these Class Story Fights just spawn me in the worst possible location and both me and Elara aggro 50-50 of the mobs.

     

    - Elara is busy healing herself and I'm busy healing myself.

     

    Hate to see what happens at higher levels, since mobs don't scale linearly and when Elara gets CC'ed and Commandos don't have Force Shield to rely on. Already have a higher level Sage and I know the higher level mobs don't play fair.
