i admit i had a knee-jerk reaction to the changes and am not amused by the way as a sub from day one in ahouse where even pre beta testing was run to be paying you money and getting the type of service i and many others have got . i did expect a more professional approach to a game like this from bioware who has created many great games in the past. Was i foolish to think that?
but on a positive note you asked for feedback - on my first outing to an h2 with a commando newly 65 and senya as companion (level 5 as i had missed some of the way to get things to make her influence higher) it was a disaster - it was fight die half way through , come back and rinse repeat. the toons gear level was still mainly 192 purple as 208's didnt seem to give better (at least the drops didnt) cos he is a gunnery and not a healer. However perseverance and trial and error - cos eric the information that comes from bioware is atrocious and either written in gamespeak or just does not seem to make sense to me when applied.
having now mastered i think a way to stay alive i can see one minor/major problem and it seems to cut across all my characters and that is cooldowns on disabling shots,force lift etc. i use these to control the mobs to make the figth work with the new level of companion and then wait up to 20 secs for a cooldown before taking on the next mob. i have no complaint but a lower cooldown time would make for a more fluent and enjoyable encounter. i have noticed this on my sages as well.
deaths i am finding now are when my companion goes on strike or fails to engage when sent in - i have even put a companion on one goldhead to have them run off as a tank to another group, and panic sets in, some i survive some are like a suicide run. The comment about reading the paper - hey guys i dont know if they were coded to do that.
i have made other posts with concerns but i see that someone at bioware doesnt want negativity in a discussion so moves it off topic. heavens if this isnt the topic at the moment what is? and you are asking for feedback and our comments try looking in the corners where many posts/thereads have been moved to hide how the community feel.
