You can skip straight to chapter 1 once you hit 60 still but you don't get the quests on the ship anymore in one of the tab's there's one called chapters think the one near where character is that you can accept chapters for kotfe and later kotet there since their repeatable now they have been given their own place. I know they said they in a recent patch fixed the companions not disappearing but I had the same issue on my warrior when kotet came out the companions except the ones I unlocked in kotfe were still there but I finished without issue kotfe and kotet.

So My BH at 50 is getting 21k xp for each elite kill I've been playing a while and DO NOT remember this high an xp gain this isn't in flashpoints but just general elites I got something like 30k for a champion that is NOT normal for me my I gained a level and almost a half on a single heroic most of the level before even completing it and getting the xp reward.

I personally have no problem with the command experience gives me something when I'm a sub to work towards now as I expected there is a lot of WHINING mercy looks more like toddlers throwing a tantrum for not getting their way its shameful....I loved the expansion to me it had more an epic star wars feel than the class stories even did and am eager for what comes next.

I have the same issue yet I DO have early access so not sure its JUST that I mean probably is for some but I subbed I think either the 18th or 19th so well in time for the early access.

I'm having that issue myself and I have been a subscriber since october 25th infact before it so seems like it somewhat effects early access people too...

Since the last patch the graphic's mess up something fierce before then every now and then I'd get a black flash with this game nothing major and only with this game. Since the patch on planets the background tears and sometimes disappears or turns a dull brown and more often than not a dull brown flash in the foreground every few seconds its a bit annoying but I assume just one of the launch bugs. Also for the record my companions are moving WAY slower than me though this started the night before the patch so doubt it's related I have to wait for them to catch up to me typically.

I had that problem once myself what I did was re-sub and eventually when it ran out it fixed itself. I tried reporting it but the customer service didn't even come close to being helpful.

See this is why I don't do raid's/operation's when you have to "research" something or be considered selfish it's not worth it this is a GAME not a job or school project. Now I want a decent challenge not something hard just for hard's sake,and not something I can beat without trying something in between now that's not the reason I don't do raids/operations....its idiot's that treat it as a job IE you have to research them or are considered selfish those that think and act that way are idiot elitist's who I won't waste my time dealing with. And I'm not missing anything well maybe one missing the annoyance and aggravation of dealing with those snobs.

I hope the "Buff's" to companion's don't bring them back to the "Impossible to die with them out" ones we had before that about killed the game for me in a game you have the chance at failure as I have often said on this issue if its impossible to die using a major feature of the game IE companion's then no its no longer a game. I'll wait till I see how they do with the buffs if it gets back to the launch level of being unable to die I'll let my sub go and just sub when all the chapters are in to get them. I've been here since the start have my founder status and all and this sadden's me that some group of people wants to turn this into a "No chance of failure" game I don't want a brutally hard game but I don't also want something that I don't have to TRY at either a good middle ground would be nice though even when people ask for something like that those that just want to coast through the game without having to try complain and whine. Its things like this that kill mmo's when group like this starts poisoning the community.

It sadden's me that so many seem to just want a cake walk in games to NEVER have to worry about death as some of these people who are so upset about the change seem to. There should be a chance of failure most of the game up to say Shadow of Revan I could just sit there do nothing and not die I didn't have to do anything my companion was so damn powerful I had NO CHANCE of death and no I won't just not use a companion that's part of what attracted me to this game I will use one and I am GLAD they made this change I never asked for the game to be super tough nor do I want it being impossible to die for most of it I want a chance of failure. Boss fight's and elite/champion fight's shouldn't be boring there should be a chance of dying to add tension to the fight that fight is with tougher than average enemies it should test you somewhat.

I am quite happy about this I'm all for strong companion's but when the companion is stronger than you and makes it practically impossible to die then it's stopped being a game and moved more to interactive story. Failure is crucial in things it punishes mistakes and rewards success if you always succeed what's the point in even trying? I am happy with this as long as I have the chance of dying/failing I'm happy. When chance of failure is removed all tension is removed from boss's and tough fights and games in general thank you for the changes.

I shouldn't HAVE to put companion's away to get a challenge this game has always been different due to the companion and story both which attracted me to the game now SOME people are claiming "oh think of other's just put your companion away" That's never been what the game has been about it's been a FAIR challenge I shouldn't have to not use one of the things that attracted me to the game so certain people can breeze through it no. And also there's something wrong when you have no chance of dying or failure I am far from one of those that goes after big challenges I do however think there should be a CHANCE of failure in the solo part's I shouldn't have to impose challenges on myself like no companion's to get that either. As I said not one that looks for great challenge in games but to see so many people just want no chance of failure sadden's me at the player base here and society in general at how lazy both are becoming. I hope that they fix that soon...

My problem with companion's is that well before you had the chance of dying in solo stuff and quests now the only time I really get that is if I do heroic's though to be fair it's only now as hard as the main game use to be. I love everything else though they do need to be tweaked some you shouldn't be immune to death or have to put companion's away to not be immune to death.

I used his power ONCE to help Lana even that took some struggling to do....I refused each and every other time though I found myself dismayed that most the answers I gave in other situation's either gained influence with him or amused him. Oh when Arcann made me the offer my first instinct was to fight I play my Jedi as realist's they will take the light side choice if it makes sense if not they do not mind taking a dark side one.

I agree this is AMAZING I use to play and still sometimes do the old kotor games (bought them on steam though use to have discs for them) and this is feeling like that and the choices/consequences well done!
