Just completed the third tier of the event and got jack squat worth of stuff. Mostly stuff I already have, some ugly armour pieces I don't want and xp stuff for a level 65. Good job BW.
I gave it a shot despite being unhappy that vets get shafted, I used my last free spot for nothing so I'm stopping right now.
-
Happened to me. All I did was close the launcher and log out. (I had to log out since it said it was still running despite task manager saying it wasn't) 6 tries later and it patched ok. Just keep trying and it will work.
-
Sorry, OP. As much as I understand your frustration- This point in your quotation of the harassment rules
"a genuine attempt to alleviate the situation should be made by leaving the area or the offending player"
You can leave the wz or indeed stay in the wz and go to another objective.
If indeed you are getting repeatedly owned by 1 or more players, then you are actively preventing that player/players from doing what they are supposed to be doing. Killing you over and over whilst doing nothing else is not helping his team- its helping yours.
-
Couldn't agree more. However I don't believe it's the playstyle that many people object to, but the infantile rudeness of the players, on boh your and the opposing teams.
Yes, the rudeness plays a part. I can laugh at it, which makes it less of a chore. But that is only one aspect of it.
The fact it is a gear grind is another, massively off putting for me. Scrap the whole gear thing and let people tick off the wz's they want to play and pvp will become more attractive I'm sure.
-
I don't like PvP, never have. To be quite honest anyone 1v1 will own my *** in any PvP arena. That said there is still plenty to do to get enough matches for the companion.
Firstly, any wz with objectives, just kite them away for starters. I can drag 2-3 people away from a door,gate or node and make a proper nuisance of myself whilst not actually fighting. I find a combination of stunning/healing and jumping around like a proper noob attracts the l337 gank mobs like bees to honey and whilst they munch on me I am genuinely helping my team.
Secondly, just run amongst the biggest group in the team and be that ganking mob. So what if you don't have the gear? Your actual presence (small as it may be) is a psychological boost to your team and a threat to the enemy. In a wz doing something or anything is a contribution.
I think I sound like I enjoy Pvp now - I still don't, but getting the abusive post match pm's from the other side tell me I did well, regardless of what the score table says.

Perhaps in this game... but that doesn't answer why people always have to rag on f2p and act like there a cancer to the game.
I don't, But I get annoyed when people who don't even pay a sub keep demanding more for nothing.
-
My god... why does everyone get on there high horse and pedestal when it comes to f2p players. Yes... f2p players don't support the game... just yet... but they could in the future if given the chance.
Were you treated poorly as a f2p player and then subbed to smack around other f2p players? A bully picking on others because he was once bullied himself?
Always subbed and never played F2P
-
Exactly what do F2P players deserve again? Its the same drum beaten to the same dead horse flogged. F2P get way too much for their free no obligation 'taster' and should get much less as it is.
As for the OP, I agree with the mission log. Ilum is now a relic that needs to be put out of its misery

Seeing as my guild ship is just for me to decorate, then yeah cc unlocks please

I bought a supercrate and got worthless junk - only 1 chance cube included too

Except literally everything is right there in the movie other than the exact reason for why Kylo's saber looks the way it does and people figured out most of it other than the cracked crystals just by analyzing it long before the Visual Dictionary came out.
You can see he's upset and not actually happy about his actions right there on the bridge, it's practically written on his face. You can see and hear he's losing it just before and during the fight. You saw him take a Bowcaster shot to the gut, they remind you again with a lingering shot of him loosing a lot of blood from the wound, they make a point of showing him resort to self harm by beating on his wound to psyche himself up repeatedly, they made a point earlier in the movie of showing that both Stormtroopers -- and therefore Finn -- and Rey have experience with melee weapons (they even show Rey repeatedly using the saber like she would her staff!) *and* they even have it said explicitly that his training isn't even complete yet. It's not really JJ's or Driver's or anyone's fault people are incapable of paying attention and putting together visual clues even when they're about as subtle as a brick to the face.
Explain just using the movie -
Why is there a new republic, but there still needs to be a resistance?
Why Han would dump a valuable cargo ship when he gets the falcon back?
Why doesn't kylo use his awesome force skills to freeze and kill those 2 jokers? less effort by far - the whole 'shot by a bowcaster' didn't stop any other abilities.
How does a 'new order' fund and operate a planet superweapon with less resources than the empire?
Why is there only 1 single weapon available that can stop a lightsaber?
Explain how a stormtrooper has never had to kill someone before? They send a janitor out with an elite unit who hasn't fought before? Also explain why everyone is totally cool with him switching sides with zero suspicion
I don't want to take a laptop and screenplay to watch a movie.
Badly paced, poor story, poor characters and a big disappointment.
-
And Poe's personal cloaking device was awesome, its always good to hide after a good crash landing
-
Kylo doesn't belong in this era, so I don't want his outfit in game ty. Same for any other characters
As for the side discussion, gotta like how people resort to the screenplay, fan fiction and even non canon EU stuff to explain away the big holes in this film. If it needs to be explained to make sense, then explain it in the movie for goodness sake.

Plenty of non force users used lightsabers, I don't see it as a them not being able to use it, they will just never be as effective at using them as a force user, so typically no real reason for them to wield one regularly.,
Anyways, on the whole Rey vs Ren thing. Look, he isn't a fully trained Jedi/Dark Jedi. But, he is not a novice either, from what we get in the movie, he is about 10 years Rey's senior, and he has trained with Luke as a kid. At the VERY LEAST he is padawan/apprentice level. You see first hand his ability to wield the force through and through in the movie itself.
Rey has had 0 formal training that she can remember, and when she was abandoned on the planet she was a little girl. So at the MOST she had a couple of years of training that she might not remember. Meaning any way you cut it, he has many more years on her as far as training is concerned.
The big problem with this movie is consistency, and a toilet paper thin story. If you really pay attention, most of the big events just kind of happen, and the character development is based upon our previous knowledge of the original heroes essentially. What makes Rey's character so likeable and familiar? Because its Luke Skywalker with *******. I really like her role, but the amount of character building is laughable. You are just told about something a few times, and you come to accept it, and they make a point of mentioning it a few times, so you know they mean business. Like how Poe is the best fighter in the resistance... really? Ok... we'll take your word for it... that lets them get away with him doing things early on that you wouldn't otherwise expect.
As for the duel between Finn and Ren, Rey and Ren. Even with a shot to his gut, he flung Rey like a ragdoll at first, and he was able freeze her earlier, and read minds of others etc. This is not "novice" level force usage.
As for Rey, I am sorry, but her mastering the force in 5-15minutes is lust laughable, this basically makes the entire concept of training that Luke underwent with Yoda, and years of training that Ren had, pretty much obsolete. She had no idea what a Jedi was 5 minutes before her encounter with Ren, then suddenly she can read his mind, Jedi mind trick, and force pull as if she had been doing it for years.
I mean, this is a huge problem for the story for me, that really craps all over the previous canon, all because the writers were too lazy to move the story along in other ways. I could understand him having a hard time or not being able to read her mind or get info out of her, as innate force resistance I would be able to stomach just fine. But the way they handled it was too much.
As for blowing up star killer base. Come on, that entire meeting went along the lines of something you would expect in a crime boss film with Joe Pesci deciding how to knock off a bank. Yeah, see slim, you was the janitor yeah? Lets bring down those shields, and tiny over here will go in and clobber the safe open see? Kapish?
Look at return of the jedi, it took the entire rebel fleet plus quite a few fighters to pierce through and help from a ton of mostly useless teddy bears. And that death star wasn't even complete. This was a much bigger base, with full capabilities and fighters, and 12 fighters, and only 12 fighters made it through, with the help of some hand explosives.
There was no real climax to the movie, or sense of suspense, they just moved from scene to scene with easy. Even the meeting between Han Solo and Ren was stupid and predictable. I really wish Harrison Ford got his wish and Han had been killed off in ROTJ like he wanted.
This movie is basically everything you would expect from a JJ Abrams movie, cheap thrills, relying on Nostalgia and already established ideas to entertain the masses, meanwhile taking a steaming pile of **** on the canon, and other work, as well as the heart and soul of the franchise.
The originals were not perfect by a long shot, but they had a prophetic, theological aspect to it. The force, the battle of good and evil was handled in a very eloquent way, Episode VII is basically a version of "Star Wars for Dummies". If you truly think this was a great Star Wars film, you probably missed the point of what Star Wars is about. And I know people will rag on George Lucas because he has lost his touch over the years, but say what you will, even with the terrible writing, and dialogue in the prequels, they did at least handle a more complex story. Those movies suffered from terrible dialogue and acting, but overall storytelling was not bad. This movie has good acting, and visuals, but the storytelling is just crap. I know it should come to no surprise to anyone, that Lucas himself was not a fan of it, whether through bitterness or that someone else has taken a direction of his baby somewhere he did not wish it to go.
100% agree. If you are from the generation that saw 4-6 first time around and were disappointed with 1-3, this film is categorically NOT made for you.
There was no reason Ren couldn't have force held Rey and Finn, then stabbed them in the face.
Disney took a massive dump on the existing movie lore.
-
Title says it all really. I'm from the generation that watched the originals in the cinema, disliked episode 1/2 and was decidedly on the fence about 3.
ok, ive had a few days to digest what I saw, here are my reasons in no particular order.
Finn is a trooper indoctrinated since he was young, he really hasn't had to shoot someone in this way before? really? Even kylo noticed/sensed him and nobody was that bothered until he decided to help Poe escape. As for that he effectively said to poe 'I'm done' and everything was ok and they became best buddies in a matter of moments?
Poe survived the crash and finn didn't see him? yeah right.
Max von sydow's character was treated like we should know who he was and that annoyed me.
Lightsabers talk to you through the force? Lolnope. At least that was the way I interpreted it.
Han lost the falcon - that was stupid, as was the barge he was flying and just abandoned. All out of character as far as I was concerned. As for Mr Ford, he could have been acting as Indiana jones, because that didn't come across as Han Solo to me.
Captain Phasma? - weak.
So you can just pick up a lightsaber and Duel a sith with zero training? Let alone win? Yes kylo was deeply flawed but 10 times out of 10 he could had frozen her, then loped her head off. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Fighting off 2 thugs on Jakku with a staff is a billion parsecs away from duelling with a saber.
The first order were all just kids, no older officers and the uniforms looked cheap and were badly fitting.
There is a New republic, great. But why does there need to be a resistance? And why isn't Leia part of it?
This resistance has a squadron or 2 of x wings and another ship and that is all they need to win. That small force obviously got past a star destroyer too. Err ok.
Superweapon with small flaw that makes it blow up. blah blah blah
3 planets huh? Tatooine,Naboo and Hoth, just with different names.
no way kylo is getting his hair back in that mask/helmet. No way.
it all added up to a series of disappointments, I didn't leave the theatre feeling this bad after episode 1

Ok, here is my experience. I have a full legacy 50 on harbinger with max presence and all datacrons. I have a legacy on red eclipse with a few datacrons and not bothered with comp affection at all. There is a definite difference between the 2. The lightning sorc I used monsters through single player content on harb legacy and my other inq feels noticeably inferior.
OP? not really. Way more fun to continue with my better companions. People have to have something to complain about I suppose. There are solutions already ingame to increase the challenge without spoiling it for others
Reminds me a lot about the early slicing nerf after release. Was a great way to make creds until a few complained (probably because they didn't take it as a skill) and BW acted on it immediately.

I'd say it was the gold sellers laundering money. Easier to use a stolen credit card to buy hypercrates, then sell the credits for cash. That would be a more efficient way to make more cash than grinding in game
-
"How many credits in the loot chests" - All my toons
-
1 I don't want them to talk about it.
2 Its going to be something very different and exciting
3 The cry babies who always threaten to quit, may just do that. That is worth the expansion alone
4 The game won't lose subs or money, despite what the basement dwellers think
5 did I mention I was excited too?
-
Seriously. Why are you even replying when you aren't contributing anything constructive to the thread? You made your point. You don't agree with him and honestly, can't comprehend where he is coming from. Move on cause all you're doing is trolling.
Because it isn't trolling, its a perfectly reasonable opinion. NO players know what is going to happen. Getting stressy about change is going to solicit responses from the more patient and rational people.
I don't want to know what is in store for my toons, any info released will be ignored by me. I want to be shocked/surprised/happy and sad. I want to experience it all as it unfolds. I may even not like it, its all about the story experience.
And yes some people must not be able to function in RL, if a computer game upsets them so much.
-
I'l give an example of something that happened while trying to get the endurance datacron on quesh. (I didn't realise that it has changed so that you need 3 to do it.) After several attempts to get some help it was completed with assistance from someone who hadn't done it before and a vet like me.
Responses from the players on general consisted of -
1 "I don't have that quest " Even explaining that it wasn't a quest, no help
2 "too far out of my way" Err. 20 seconds from taxi point
3 "I don't need that stat" umm, ok.
After completion (took about 45 minutes total) I even offered to hold the door open so a 30 second ride gets a stat boost, 38 players in my instance and not one taker.
So yeah playing with other people is hard.
-
Feedback and focus groups in the good old pre internet age was face to face. It would have been way more constructive than the forum bashing/trolling/ adhd tantrums/ rolling on the floor and foot stamping/ tears and keyboard hurling we have now.
-
went through my 41 toons, apart from the speeder I got 3 different dye colours, xp boost, and carbonite chamber. That's it. Wasn't worth the time to open them.
-
I did ops with my first guild at launch, I've not done them since. My first guild was the only one I felt truly part of. Every guild or pug now has "must know fights inside and out" and "must have enough gear so you almost don't even need to run it"
No thanks.
Its just as well I binned running in ops, the upping of level caps make the tedium of grinding them obsolete anyway. I have almost 2 full legacies at 60, so I make creds, decorate all my strongholds, finish alts, play the gtn and find other cool things to do

I'm a CE founder and I get what you are saying completely. I have 2 full legacies (Harb and RE). I got the first couple of tiers on RE and thought about giving up, I stuck with it despite not enjoying every aspect of the game and am now feeling fully burned out.
Currently to hit legendary I have to -
kill 50 gree droids
Complete eternal championship ( not skilled or geared enough,I keep wiping at 7)
all ops
all hm fp's.
all wb's
it doesn't sound like a lot but getting into a group or finding a commited ops guild on RE is hard. I really don't think I'm going to do it. It could very well be this is what causes me to jack the game in. I don't think this was very well thought out - especially the legenday requirements, the bar should be a heck of a lot lower. Maybe 5 random hm fps, 3 random wb's and losing the eternal championship entirely. They focus way too much on gear grinding and less on skill and fun. Having started again and knowing that pvp/GSF and EC are especially gear dependant puts me off for sure.
