We've already seen one NiM mechanic, the 3 droids at the start of the fight are "bugged" to have their induction .5 seconds faster and become immune to damage at 5 stacks, which is actually an accidental leak from NiM mechanic testing. I hope they think of some challenging mechanics to add in because frankly this is very easy to counter and very boring. It does make me worry, since someone suggested making Zorn and Toth immune to taunts at stages throughout the fight, as this mechanic is and has been present in EC HM since day one. Secondly i'd like to have them set their enrage timers so I don't have to restrict my skill set to strike, overload saber, slash and cauterize to not overlap fight phases in Zorn and Toth despite their "fix." I'm hoping EC NiM only focuses on half of the DG set pieces (the tastier ones) and incorporates more earpiece/implant drops, given their cost.

Ignoring the problem won't fix it BioWare. Are we truly not worth the small amount of time it takes to make a post to keep us in the loop?

Sennheiser have a really good "G4ME" range, check it out. Pricey but worth every dollar IMO.

Still no update? Sigh...

Thanks! Belated congratulations to EWOK'alypse Now, you lads smashed this one, i'll happily take [i assume] second place under that achievement. I do feel this raid's significantly easier than EC HM once you get the hang of it, mainly due to EC's RNG factor as opposed to the more technical but predictable mechanics of TFB. After locks reset we full cleared 8 man HM in 4-5 hours of raiding, including hours of playing around working out the final fight. Granted farm time in this raid will be more fun than EC [in my opinion] due to bosses 3 and 5. TL;DR I know

Legit is now 5/5 TFB HM! Screenshot coming in the next 5 minutes! http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m5/rhythman1/Screenshot_2012-10-04_21_13_31_804943_zpsfa5dc07e.jpg

I'd love to be kept in the loop right about now ./puppyeyes

Legit is now 4/5 TFB HM! Dat 10% >.>

Nice! We had a peak at Keph tonight after our Operator IX kill, there's a fair bit going on that's for sure xD Looking forward to giving it a decent go tomorrow night.

Legit is now 3/5 TFB HM! Honorary mention that one of our guildies is colour blind, took us a LOT of team work but we now have a working, farmable strat for him!

Congratulations (secretly shaking my fist) to Nightmare Council for getting Operator IX! I hope we're not too far behind you guys

I've never seen anything closer to a Private Test Server than our current "Public Test Server."

BioWare you've had your "few days." Where's the solution?

I support this!

Legit is now 2/5 HM, got very close to Operator IX tonight, closing in on that 3. After doing the first boss on SM it seemed a pointless endeavor for a progression raiding guild to continue with such low difficulty content so expect our SM progression to stay at 1/5

Lord Scourge and Akaavi Spar are both PERFECT examples of why I want this so much! A while ago I suggested in the community Q&A that there be companion specific legacy sets introduced, I really hope this is considered, i'd love to see Akaavi in Mandolorian armour and Scourge in his Sith Lord's attire. All it needs to be is an orange moddable complete set version of the gear you get the companions in. Please consider this BW!

I'm keen to hear what they have in store for us that's for sure!

You can barter empty BM shells up for WH items.

Well then let's talk about the downtimes of the AU servers, they come down at peak AU times (same time as US servers) half the time we can't even raid due to impromptu server down times 2-3 times a week, half of which you guys wouldn't even know about.

EC HM is easy aside from the RNG aspects. The first night my guild went inside EC on HM we cleared 3/4 bosses, that was less than 6 hours progression, so assuming you're of a similar level to us then we're getting more than we bargained for

There wasn't a plural, that's what EAWare got wrong. We wanted one server, not 3.

Something had better be done soon :x

This bothers me also, our server population is already the lowest world wide which is bad enough, but the major down times 2-3 times a week during prime time aren't exactly helping. Please do something BW :x

I was hoping to see if BioWare had an official announcement/response/stance on server consolidation and the Asia Pacific servers. Currently they're some of if not THE the lowest population servers world wide, are there plans to do anything about this?

I take names for days in my augmented BM gear.
