QQ , dont let the airlock hit you guys on the way out. Seriously the game is better now than it has ever been before, only reason i am subbing the game again now.

QQ , get over it you can console back one of them , and eventually they will all return or be dead , in the meantime you get plenty of new companions to fill the void.

Absolutely nothing you posted is relevant to plowing outdoor 2+ heroics , your response is hyperbole and fails to understand the OPS point , it honestly looks like you read the title and posted go back under the bridge. There is no time to send you a nice whisper when doing heroics , i toss invites if you are to stupid to ta them i make damn sure to instant cast aoe on top of the mobs o you dont get the credit if you decline the invites in heroic 2+ outdoor zones.

Subs fell off because of the companion nerf , I personally canceled 5 account that i pay for , mine , my wife's , my niece ,my sister , and a friend from work that cant really afford it atm. I have not had time to play the new patch , but if its better , and i can enjoy playing solo content then i will be resubbing them . More importantly if my scrub family can duo with me and we can have fun still then i will resub them all. So i think your synopsis is off and is just standard mmo forum hyperbole . Though its just based on my perception , and my own anecdotal experience , just like your opinion is.

dude give me a break its in a heroic 2+ , by the time i type out umm derp hey guy how are you pleasantries and what not , you will have already gone past me and agroed the mob and it will be pointless. In this situation its implied hey this invite is so we dont have to fight over the mobs. The INVITE is the pleasantry.

I am willing to wait and check out the new companions on Tuesday , though 15 % increase to previously 75% nerfed stats is not like restoring 15 % of the original nerf.

I just want rank 35 and up companions to feel powerful , it takes work to get them there , and i ant them to seem more than just a pitiful sidekick . and at rank 50 with all datacron and legacy bonus they should be insanely powerful in solo play areas and heroic 2s , otherwise what is the point of grinding one out so far. I farm for gear to feel more powerful , if im going to grind my companion , i want it to feel more powerful , the low level ones can be crap i dont care but they should start to be on by 15 and respectable by 25 , and by 35 should be good enough to help you in SF if you know your class , by 45 they should be strong enough to carry any player through SF , and at 50 they should face roll solo content.

See ya , the amount of players that were leaving over the companion nerf was far far far far larger than the few that cant be happy with their challenge in hard modes and OPS. If you want a challenge play the parts of the game meant to be a challenge , dont try and twist the devs into making the entire game experience a boring grind fest.

Simple i want to play how i want to play. That being said every day i group , find me on hard as lilith'ie , Arta'niz , or Havok'lolth , im always down to plow heroics with someone. The thing is i play this game a LOT , and i play with family and friends that are beyond the worst mocking of the elitists here as far as casuals go. I know they are not that good , but they dont enjoy me telling them how to get better they just like button mashing and playing star wars , and so i prefer a more casual based solo grind for when they play. In summary just because we are in favor of rolling back the nerf does not mean we dont group , cant group , or that we need to l2p it may just mean that for our overall enjoyment of the game we prefer it to be less of a slogfest and more of an enjoyable star wears fantasy experience.

No this post is a load of BS so deep i had to go get my hip waiters just to respond. More grind does not mean people will play longer , i left the game as a founder over the grind , i came back and with the new leveling systems 12x and 4.0 i have now gone from one lvl 34 toon to 8 lvl 65s and several more that i plan to work on. And if this companion nerf gets at least partially rolled back i have 5 toons i plan to work all the way through kotfe and do the alliance grind on. To summarize you are very wrong , i dont want challenging boring grindy solo content to get to max level , i DO want fun engaging end game content to keep my toon working on to keep me playing , not grindy leveling experience.

It looks like the killing fields or a nazi concentration camp in every heroic , making my light side toon feel like he is partaking in mass genocide constantly.

The entire premise of this post is ignorant. I can solo Heroic weekly 2+ no companion and clear all of them but the one that requires you to click 4 things at one time. That does not mean that i want comps nerfed , or that i was happy with the nerf. It is not a L2P issue . Its a time vs reward issue , its a tedium issue , but making an ignorant post like this saying just ask for advice to play and everything will be fine misses entirely the main issues people have with the comp nerf and why they liked strong comps in the first place. It has 0 to do with ability or the game being hard. I can solo the heroics no comp , but its tedious and a massive time killer and it makes the game unfun. Instead the strong comps made the grindy part of the solo game "see heroics for alliance boxes" and made it fun and enjoyable because it didnt feel grindy. It was never a challenge so i didnt get upset that it was suddenly easier to do. Again saying that people should just ask for advice on how to play misses the real issue that we dont want to waste an entire day doing something that is just tedious when we used to be able to do it in a nice timely fashion , ability to solo it without a companion or with is irrelevant to need for skill in this regard.

try , i dunno reading one of the multiple 140 page threads from the last few days , and you can see both sides arguments.

I want a rank 50 companion to have more hps than me and be effective , a comp is an ai and they tend to suck , so yes it needs better stats to be equally as effective as a PC , and i want after 50 rnks to finally have someone on equal footing otherwise what is the point of grinding all the influence.

If you hover over the BW logo thingy it sums this up almost 100 pages , 1 post by a BW staff member , the first post in a thread asking for feedback. Way to make us feel like this wasn't lip-service. These comps are still playable yes , but why would i want to grind them to influence level 50 now. I used to have a nice strong OP comp that was worth the influence grind. Now it seems from peoples feedback that you need influence 50 and you still might not be able to solo SF heroic , and it seems that which companion you choose does matter contrary to what we have been told would be the case. So now we wait for the min maxers to tell us which comp is worth the grind to 50 and do just that one , and honestly that does not sound like fun. So im sorry i dint adhere to the template but what im saying is the new grind is now pointless and no fun , please bring back the fun . If im going to grind multiple companions to lvl 50 influence tey had better be badases when they get there and i shouldn't need every bit of legacy and datacron presence on top of that to do it.
