Yep its quite something for it to be ignored for so long. I try to play through it, but its disheartening seeing "missed" anytime my companion tries to damage any enemy with anything other than auto attack,

The fact that the devs haven't even said anything about companion abilities missing all the time tells you all you need to know about their mindset. They don't care.

Bumping this because no mention of it even being an issue from the devs.

Still having this issue as well and not seen any notice of it even being an issue. In fact the general lack of information on this is extremely disturbing.

Recently made a topic about this issue as well, seems like nobody cares. Only response I got was "companion abilities are generic I don't really care." Everyone is too busy complaining about companions being weaker without even noticing this issue, how? I have no idea.

What about abilities on companions outright missing 100% of the time? Set them to tank stance and watch all their AoE damage abilities never land. The pulls and taunts land but the damage doesn't.

Its just so weird seeing my tank companion use a claymore ability and it misses every single target all the time. Same with Shae and her Maelstrom ability, instead of damage numbers all I see is "miss miss miss". Also Paxton pulling out a shotgun, blasting them in the face "miss"....

Bumping one last time.

No info on this at all?

I've not seen anything mentioned on this topic, if there is and I've missed it then I apologize. So I just came back to the game for 7.0 and have noticed that my companions seem to be missing on all their AoE abilities. I'm not saying they miss sometimes, they miss all the time! I've sat and watched my tank companions use their area abilities and all i see is yellow text saying "missed" and sure enough no damage done to the mobs. It happens 100% of the time not seen the damage hit once. These are on level mobs and even lower level mobs as well. The weird thing is though that the threat/buffs/debuffs are still generated from these abilities just no damage at all. This isn't just tank companions either, dps stance also suffers the same issue, which is a huge problem as the entire point of dps companions is to do damage (duh!). TLDR; Companion AoE abilities missing all the time, is this a known bug or just a way for them to nerf companions even more?

Yes please. The simple solution being just to have skills work differently depending on who you are targeting (npc or player). Guild wars managed to pull this off years ago and I find it funny how so many companies neglect to follow suit.

The phrase "Your choices matter" lost all credibility from Bioware after Mass Effect 3 and that garbage ending at release, although the redone ending is still terrible its a little better I guess. To this day I take anything from Bioware with a huge grain of salt and remain a skeptic until proven otherwise.

My favorite dailies were the ones that used to give 1125 CXP.

I know right? I mean who the hell plays this game or any MMO for gear rewards? Thats just dumb.....................

Never gonna happen, as much as I'd love for it to. Never mind that it's happening close to prime time for EU, but it may even end up being extended too. Very few companies seem to separate their maintenance times across regions and it's becoming one of those "it's normal, let it go or go play wow" kind of situations.

Reality TV? Never watched any of that crap. Unless you count forums as reality TV, though thinking about it... there are usually plenty of people who overreact to the pettiest of things on them. Hmmm then I really should stop coming here in that case. Good luck with the whole complaining thing though, it seems very important to you. P.S. 500 posts I see...Do you even play the game I wonder?

And there will always be people who complain about people complaining, just like me complaining, about you complaining, about the OP complaining. Just imagine if we actually did something USEFUL instead of argue over pointless semantics such as "he says, she says". Oh I guess I should really stop looking at the forums in that case, I can feel my brain cells committing suicide.

After playing a 50 Operative and trying a healing BH I have to say that I prefer the Operative hands down when it comes to running PUG groups. I can carry bad groups on my Operative and still throw out some DPS when needed, unless it's in a HM FP and the DPS suddenly forget how to do damage leading to enrage. One guy called me a noob for doing damage to the boss, nevermind that they were at 90-100% health the whole boss fight thanks to my HoT's yet because they didn't do enough damage we hit the enrage timer and wiped....totally my fault. Anyways...on my BH I feel very limited by the heat mechanic. Having to juggle between that and supercharge while hoping that randoms don't pull threat or stand in crap and take damage I have to heal (because lets face it unless you run in a premade group there will be those "special" people who take the avoidable damage just so us healers can heal them.) Then suddenly the tank takes spike damage I have to swap to him, then back to the DPS who are also nearly dead, meanwhile my heat is almost always just over halfway up... I honestly think alot of problems could be solved if BH could get one single HoT skill in the healing tree. Allowing us to lightly keep one or two people alive while we focus on someone else for a moment.

Most likely already started. Won't be me however since I do enjoy playing this game, when I am allowed to play it.

Exactly. Telling people the times have changed six minutes after seeing the fifteen minute window is just pathetic and stating the obvious. Communication never seems to be a strong point when it comes to things like this, however when it comes to new cartel items...

Ever thought about changing your name to "Whiteseven"? Such a fine white-knight you are in every single one of your posts. Seriously I can't view a single topic without seeing your name crop up, jumping to EAwares defense. I am curious, do they pay you or are you simply so naive that you actually believe what you say?

If they ever did add something like that, they would end up taking the game down again as it would not be working properly.

Better late than never...

In before the white-knights. I have to agree here, a lot of maintenance during a temporary event an extra day or two added onto the event shouldn't hurt.

Artistic integrity. That is all. P.S. Better now than in the evening I guess since most people are sleeping in here (UK). And it could be worse, just look at LOTRO.
