Dying 30 times in an ops has nothing to do with sucking. Most guilds are still struggling with Nightmare Kephess. Just the trandoshan phase alone results in wipe after wipe after wipe. This is where some of us are coming in and saying screw that. 200k repair bills for an hour of wipes is too high for me to continue with ops. Nightmare Denova is still difficult.

44k repair bill from my ops last night. Full 63 DG/Hazmat from just a few deaths. I was at 3/4 durability. If we go to work on Nightmare Kephess like we planned that could be 200k repair for one hour or so of ops. To me, the grinding of dailies is not worth this. I play the game to run ops, not grind dailies to tears, there are a million other games I would rather play than do this. I'm not poor, I spent a lot of time doing dailies for ops, but now it's mandatory to do them to run those same ops? There has been a few games that had high repair bugs and it's always ended badly. Why "fix" this bug a year after release? That was shortsighted.

Chiss Vanguard and Chiss Shadow DPS. Most of my other alts are Ratataki or Miraluka. There are 5 or 6 Chiss Repub chars in my guild, it's not entirely uncommon on my server.

Sadly almost all the weapons are glitched with the exception of the Cannon. The Assault Rifle has the same thing after a fight. The two bladed light saber has one side of the blade constantly go missing (for me it's after every single fight) and the blaster pistol is missing the radar affect. They need to go back and fix all of these as they are almost all broken in some way.

I think we gave up because we just don't care anymore. These changes should have been posted. If it's a new NM mechanic then it should have been posted. If it's a mistake and it's the 16 man mechanic in 8 man then it should have been posted. Why change an op that has been the same way if a NM version is coming soon? We all play other games too. We spent a month trying to take him down and the change just made us not care. I logged and played Borderlands.

HM Kephess 8 man, the first three droids are casting calibrating shot in a new manner. It's making them go immune after 5 or 8 stacks. Even with all of us interrupting we just did not care enough to continue. This could be the NM mechanic or it could be the 16 man mechanic coming into 8 man HM but this change wiped us 3 times when we were killing him reliably for months. There is a whole thread in the FP/OPS forum with no mention from community managers. The only reason I log in right now is to do ops. The new one is fun but we still clear EC HM because we need 350 BH coms for the implants and such. If you have not tried it since 1.4 give it a whirl. It's a blast. No pun intended.

Tried this last night. We eventually just gave up. I can see this as being doable but we just did not have the will to push on with it. We've been doing this boss for months, the change looks like it was either meant for NM or it got imported from the 16m version. I'm all for new challenges, but at least release NM for this. HM should not have been changed. No word from the devs on this is worry-some.

Even though I agree to a certain extent, the real issue is focus and negativity. They focus on little things that really don't matter if you play and enjoy the game and the negativity will follow. Negativity makes the game environment toxic, this has happened in so many games. Hellgate, Vanguard, the list goes on and on. When people get sick of hearing the negativity they will leave the game for a while. In reality the community is half the issue with the game. I'm not going to say that game does not have issues. It does seem that every issue people describe on these forums is relatively small and I've never encountered them. The Ilum latency bug I did have, but it was gone the next day. Taking things like this and focusing on them makes you resent the "fun" parts of the game. I also paid for the game, I'm still having fun and I don't regret it at all. Entitlement is another issue entirely. focusing on things that were said in 2004 is the same as your girlfriend telling you that you were a jerk 10 years ago but bringing it up every 2 hours on the forums. What exactly is the point? I have no idea but it does not help the community and it does not help yourself. If you are doing nothing but complaining, you are not having fun and you are ruining it for other people. I'm not sure where I'm going with this as it's likely the trolls will just make fun of it. But I'm trying to be honest. The community is half the problem. I'm still having fun.

This.
