Well, the original group had a guy in 210 gear that could not beat the dogs enrage so it was kind of troubling to begin with. He was the one with computer issues. We replaced him and one shot everything up till Master Blaster. Then had more issues

Here's a beauty So our guild decides to do Ravagers as it is for conquest and it happened to be the Ops of the day yesterday. So we have a bit of issues with one of our dps as he lags and the game freezes so he drops so we go into GF for the spot now 5/8 (we grabbed a guy off fleet who had never done Ravagers before but he got into our discord and takes direction well which is awesome) are guild members a healer we picked up from fleet at the start, plus this new pug. We make it to master Blaster and we give it a go. The new pug Mara, decides to stand in everything imaginable and die horribly and rather quickly, things go pear shaped and we wipe. New Pug drops group immediately after. Well ok whatever he just stands in stupid. So we queue up for another replacement and get this Merc. He zones in trades a stim to someone randomly and goes quiet after. We ready check. he's not ready, we wait and ready check again not ready... message in ops chat (yes we know the bug so it's in officer chat or whatever) even whisper if he is good to go. no response but he starts walking and jumping... Well alright awesome. So we pull. This Merc then proceeds to run to the far edge of the battle and jump off the edge to his death. did not even engage the boss... after he dies he quits group. One of the pugs asked in discord if we remember the guild name which I tell him. He proceeds to tell us all that the leader of that guild of this Merc was in his guild previously and had proceeded to take a bunch of stuff out of their guild bank money mats items and then quit. So.... I proceed to ignore the Merc and then look up his guild name and ignore every single player online with that Guild tag. We queue up AGAIN wait a few minutes.... and we get.... THE SAME MERC that we just finished all ignoring. ***??? Not only was he able to go into GF immediately without lockout but even made it into our group AFTER we ignored him. :rak_02: So he gets kicked ASAP. We queue YET AGAIN and get a sniper. We kill Master Blaster. He Dc's after the fight before the trash and last boss. :/ We clear trash and wait, but he's still not back. We kick him and grab a friend of mine to help. By that time it was stupid late and we only gave the last boss one shot, we could not finish it so we took the LBLO.

Update: as it may not actually be because of Ossus and it's all related to Paxton Rall this bit of information is interesting. I accepted the first Ossus mission and sided with Empire on the affected character. Upon beginning Inflection Point I received the Hexid Alliance Alert and Shae Vizla alert. Went and recruited them and they are now returned to me. I updated my ticket accordingly. I've not yet determined if it is related to my choosing Empire for Ossus however. Perhaps if you've not yet tried it, accept the Inflection Point Quest Talk to Lana and see if the alerts return to you all Edit to add: Their level 50 influence status has remained at level 50

I claimed Paxton with the Alliance Alert and had full access to Hexid until AFTER i fully completed story up to the new OSSUS quest. it is in my log but have not clicked accept mission. I have also lost Shae Vizla as well. Both Hexid and Shae Vizla were level 50. they are not usable i cannot summon them and I cannot send them to craft. People here say it's because Paxton, however I believe it is due to the story missions.

New one just now. DF Group Finder, I'm tanking. Straight PUG from the GF button. 5 of 8 say they haven't done it before. Fine it'd be rough but explanations will be handed out it's cool. First trash pull people get thrown everywhere and there's 4 big guys at once whacking people DPS "Tanks you have to "taunt" Me: "I am taunting" Nefra Explanations go out tanks gotta be in front adds get hit by range etc. My Co-tank keeps taunting off me and dragging him into the middle of the room away from the wall. The DPS constantly gets smashed by the mega cleave he does. I keep taunting him to the wall, Co-tank keeps taunting him back and moving him to the middle where DPS get slaughtered since they don't go behind him even after i explain for them to get out away from his front. One dps dc's I bailed. Screw that

I have one for you. So My guild mate and I are running a few FP's Vet mode to kill time before the Op of the day. I'm on a DPS and he's taken his heals. So we que up and by pure coincidence a tank from our guild is our third person and the last of our group is some random dude. So we pop Rakata which is great because I need conquest points. Our guildy tank is killing everything in sight which is fine since it works for the Galactic Kills, whatever. We get to the first boss The Wookie and the other guy Marko-Ka and the random DPS says "I will run Koltos and proceeds to run to a kolto use it run to the next kolto immediately after the first use it, run to the next immediately after use it. Meanwhile we have not even dipped below 98% health. So the Guildy healer starts razzing this DPS "You don't trust me as a healer? I'm not good enough?" etc the DPS says "you can now DPS" Guildmate: I'm so insulted!" We are in Discord laughing our asses off talking **** about this guy. He says to the DPS "Meh whatever man I'm just joshin' you. Do your thing" To which the DPS replies "F*** Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" proceeds to stand directly in the path of 3 red beams of death on purpose. Dies immediately then drops group. I queued us up for a replacement and happened to get another Guildmate completely by coincidence so it was 4 of us at the end. Meanwhile at every boss after that we were like "oh **** we are at 95% health better hit a kolto. You're healing is garbage where's that Kolto" Laughing the entire rest of the run.

Witcher 3 did this well also, there was a short questionnaire built in as a mission that asked you what happened in the events of Witcher 3. Who's side you were on during this battle what happened to character "so and so" Did you help the Sorceresses etc and the answers there played into the missions later on they didn't just arbitrarily choose for you. they gave you an option to automatically have the game simulate it yes, but they let you have the option of choosing manually without playing through the entire game and importing the save files.

Half of the Companions are from Star Fortresses. Don't get them by not finishing Star fortresses. CORE companions we've known since launch, No they do not need killed off

I refuse to bring anymore people through the new content until they fix it. Once i go through everything up to and including Iokath, they will get parked and story progression will stop

Because as optimistic as I am with this game, even I know Bioware needs to hear something constantly and multiple times before it registers

I'm glad I am not the only one that feels this way. These are all real good points. Keep up the discussions! I'm off to work lol

I do not envy the people having to sift through this garbage either. And maybe it's too much to ask since I can't write code, but I'd at least like the option at the mission terminal to choose which ones I want to keep. Or maybe I sound like the idiots above

it is absolutely infuriating :mad:

As the title suggests, With the Ossus story and Jedi Under Siege coming into play I would like for the writing team to stop killing off my companions. This is a hindrance to my enjoyment of this game because of the automatic choices the game now forces me into when I wish to take my characters further into the upcoming content. As it stands now there are certain forced choices that are involved when I take a Bounty Hunter Sniper or Sorcerer through to Ossus automatically, these forced decisions are now causing me to have to take every single character through KOTET and KOTFE and subsequent Iokath story, since I despise the automatic choices given me by the developers. With a myriad of characters this borderlines utter tedium. And if companion deaths are a constant that the writers insist upon at least provide us a way to choose who to keep and who dies when we click the mission console. I also would like to point out I understand the idea that "EAWARE" wants us to grind and the more characters that are forced to complete all of KOTET and KOTFE the better since it equals players playing but it fracking blows. Further, one can also find annoyance in the Republic Forced choices as well, though personally, I'm more upset regarding Empire. /endrant

I've read this entire thread and have been baffled constantly regarding the request for a Ghost mode, and subsequent disdain for youtube videos What does Ghost Mode accomplish that youtube does not? People against Youtube videos complain it isn't what they want because they want to be in the Ops and don't want to have their experience hindered by someone else's choices. Ghost Mode: Being on the "shoulder" of someone in the ops essentially being hindered by the person inside the ops and subject to the choices of that person. Someone please explain this because the only feasible difference is "Ghost Mode" would require development time and coding that frankly can be utilised elsewhere. A youtube video surely does accomplish what this Ghost Mode accomplishes. with absolutley zero negative aspects. Furthermore I can always tell people who never code by their comments like "oh they can just put a god droid in no big deal" Take an example from Jurassic Park the movie where they have to fix Denis Nedry's lockout and Sam Jackson says he has to debug every single line of code in order to find the specific key strokes Nedry used to do what he did. Hammond says "how many lines are there" Sam replies "About 2 million" Lets run this mathematically. and for the sake of argument it takes one person 1 hour to write one line of code. lets further say there is 2 million lines. Divide 2 million by 24 and we have 83,333.33333 repeating. which means it takes 83 thousand three hundred thirty three days to write 2 million lines of code.... and this is only one person so if you want to find out numbers just divide the 83,333 by how ever many you think BW has that code this game. TLDR: Stop saying "they can just put a god droid in it". You've absolutely no idea how to code. Second: Youtube videos accomplish the exact same end result as a "ghost mode" so......

So when you login, it tells us HK-55 is coming back and you have to be a subscriber during another specific timeframe. So now that means EVERY single companion should now be given in a subscriber window.

Thanks, I've resolved the commando. And if you're saying the DR 75% numbers are based on passives in combat and DCD's and the correct usage of them, then my Guardian currently sits at 51.31% sitting on fleet doing nothing so I will assume as a "Standing doing nothing" DR is 51.31% And I spent the last 2 days getting the remaining datacrons I was missing across both factions so I'm at 100% on those

The problem with KP is, it stopped being relevant arguably years ago, but moreso when they removed the Nightmare version so I highly doubt they will care to fix the reflect on that fight. And ignoring the scream on TFB (which is also reflectable) in SM because "it doesn't hurt as much in SM" is pretty absurd because it still to this day kills GF Pug tanks and groups

No you cannot proceed. it STILL returns you to the shuttle. and But wasn't it supposed to be fixed in 5.6.1? Yeah it was but NO IT WAS NOT There's a posted workaround from someone on several posts about this as there are many, that you can try to port to stronghold then travel back but i've not yet tested this

Why is this even an issue? Do people just stand there in fire and not move him around? And so what about mercs and commandos reflect? I do it so the boss dies and as a Guardian I use it for the same reason

Just be glad they didn't take reflect away from The Guardian like they did with phase walk and Shadows

When I began this game I knew I wanted to have a lightsaber and during Character creation I looked at the Knight and thought "well, I don't like dying so I will pick this one" I didn't know it was classed as the tank at first but as I played that's the class I chose in the advanced choice section. He's been my main since then and first to full optimised and he's the one I've done most of my raiding with in all modes and the first one to get most pets and mounts. As years went on I made alts but the Guardian is always my main from day one

Sorry, but am I to assume these numbers are including every possible datacron? I have my Guardian tank exactly as listed here and am only at 51% DR where this says I should be 75% and My Gunnery commando also with every piece as is listed here and the numbers show i'm missing over 200 crit? Am i missing something? I've looked over both with a fine tooth comb Sorry was rushed: Edit to add Both my Guardian Tank and Gunnery Commando are full 248 gear with highest augments available.
