Now you are exaggerating. I'm not promoting exploiting or using macros in a way that violates TOS. I just made a comment that grinding same elite mobs, lets say in heroic area, is one way to gain cxp. Still I think fastest way is to kill some trash in Ops, maybe those TFB core mobs before OP IX as someone said. Or some adds before some bosses, reset phase and kill them again. Rinse and repeat. And for your breaking the law thing. That really doesn't fit in gaming imo but that comes from old time competitive FPS player who views gaming somewhat a sport. But in real world many bad, harmful and plain racist laws have been abolished by large enough portion of people ignoring and breaking them in every turn. It's not that black and white. I think that person I was referring has same issue. If we can say free sub is an issue thou he doesn't play anymore this game.

LoL, you are so funny. Besides, outcome is same either one nolife grinds same elite mobs 24/7 till he reaches weekly cap or it is macroed. I don't use macros in a way that they violates TOS. As in one macro does multiple different things and If I remember right, those kind of macros are forbidden but macro that does only one thing are allowed. And anyway, I know few people that did those boring kill 1500 X mob -achievements with macros and nothing happened to them. There are even people who keeps getting subscriber CC every month althou they stopped subbing almost year ago. Great management by BW.

Macro killing spree @ somewhere where is lots of elite mobs. Leave game running and go watch some movies.

I I keep getting these lag spikes @ Red Eclipse. Almost 2 months now and it happens every other few minutes. Tried to pinpoint source with pingplotter and it showed ~30% packetloss (when it is lagging) in one of the Telia spot near Stockholm. Called them but they said there is nothing wrong. Maybe the problem is somewhere else. My connection works fine otherwise and I'm not sure i read pingplotter correctly. Ok, my problem might be @bioware-ic-147166-dln-b3.c.telia.net. Made a ticket about it.

I have played and pretty much done every thing this game has. Only reason I didn't leave in 4.0 was that this is Star Wars. You just make assumptions what I do or did in game. And I didn't spoke just about raids. There are lots of other things also that BW did, hyped and then forgot.

This, my guild friends all left when 4.0 was released due no new group content. It doesn't need to be only ops, some new and fun event would be nice also.

Same BS. They should focus on multiple aspects of content not just one at the time. That only tells that they don't know what they are doing OR they don't get enough money to build new content at any reasonable rate. My recurring sub (from launch) payment goes every 6 months and ends mid December. I don't mind leaving.

That is so BS excuse. Either EA is not funding them properly or BWA blows money on totally wrong things. They shouldn't just focus on story or mp content and so on. They should make multiple thinks same time for expansions, this still is MMO with multiple different things to do ingame. And since they are not doing many things simultaneously means that they don't have enough money to run this game properly. Then there are lots of broken promises. No wonder people don't trust on their sayings. Easy way to lose long time players is not to bring new content. Making new grind to do several years old content is not new content. It just drives people away. Few hours of mediocre story content doesn't keep people, not even then when you give it 3 difficulty modes. Ops vets and long time players will probably just do it straight away in hardest difficult.

I think gaming community has become to lazy to read tooltips (like gearing, abilities etc) and just don't want to put effort to do stuff that takes "long" to do. And then some players just want stuff given to them when they log on. I can already see that the fastest way to obtain bis gear after 5.0 is to macro your toon on endeless kill spree on some heroic are to kill elites. People did that on achievements where you needed to kill 1500 mobs and like. People will do that for cxp too. This new system is set to fail.

Ops progression died with KotFE and removing gear drops from HM/NiM is final killing blow. And BW's metrics are so full of crap anyways. Several months of 12x EXP, nothing else to do in game -> people leveled lots of useless alts. Oh the metrics show people are mostly doing class stories. OFC they are since there is nothing else to do.

They can be taken out from items now and they stay the same. The thing is that for example you cant but set armoring from belt to chest or offhand hilt to mainhand. They are bound to the SLOT.

You know you can just make group and walk in to the operation. And Ops bosses have dropped specific tokens since 2.0.

Yeap. Or asking for easier solo version which you can run with god-bot or companions.

Biggest problem imo with KotFE or SWTOR in general this past year is that Bioware focused too much on one aspect. They should make sure they have enough resources to develop content for whole game, not just sp story. Guild I was in did all kinds of stuff together for several years. Mostly ops but still pretty much everything. We had few progression groups, did pvp, events and all kinds of ingame stuff. When KotFE came and people saw there was nothing new other than episodic story, pretty much everyone quit. I used to play several hours at time, few days a week. Now I might log in once in a few weeks for maybe 5-10 minutes. There just isn't anything to do other than check GTN. Just saying this because this is the impact my gaming experience had because of this focus on sp story. And as for the ops metrics, lots of old time raiders are just fed up on running same ops for years and if KotET just bumps level cap and brings those same ops to new level cap without bringing new operation, metrics will show even less participation in ops.

It won't matter since BW has already said that you don't need to play KoTFE to access KoTET.

For deception more burst, For hatered tone down aoe, buff single targer dps and survivability.

Sent you a PM.

There is no reason to do them anyway. They don't even drop anything worth doing them. And for "1: Operations, now that all operations have lv 65 mobs and bosses the gear they drop will be in relations to the max lv, 65. Before hand pre 4.0 the older operations like KP and EV would drop those black market 136 raiting worthless outdated gear, so no one would do them because of the outdated gear. From level sync it gets people to do the operations now." That doesn't have anything to do with level sync. That is bolster and they could just widen the bracket of story mode ops to include 50-65, like they did. And yea I can go low level planet and do "relevant" stuff, thou they aren't really relevant. Just something to do when bored. Down synced content is as easy as it ever was and max level content, besides some HM/Nim Ops are faceroll easy anyway. Level sync is just to make old heroics "take longer" to grind for Alliance and whole alliance is useless anyway. Anyway, successful troll OP.

One story for all classes ruined it. And the way story makes player character seem like a weakling and an idiot used by every other person.

For solo stuff, story mode flashpoints and operations every class is ok. For HM and Nim operations there are better choices than assassin dps, thou you can do them when you know your class and /or you have raid group that knows you can pull your own weight. Dps wise assassin dps is kinda meh.

Title. I have bunch of light side cards and want to trade them for cartel market stuff. Also got ~40m credits + 400 remotes to go. PM or in game mail to P'RKL.

I'd like to get also that several hours of new content every month. Hasn't really seen it after 4.0. Only some cut scenes and laughable amount of actual game play.

Nope. Biggest problem with SWTOR OWPVP is game engine. It can't handle proper OWPVP. Then lack of rewards for OWPVP comes next. After that you get those jerks. Not like there are lots of self entitled jerks in solo player "group" also.

Better to do it with hatered. Few rounds with dps comp then switch it to heals. With deception you end up losing lots of your burst and damage due loss of maul. Force cloak doesn't work in TEC.

Dunno what happened to people, are they too lazy to move out of stupid or are they just dumb and too used to being over leveled for ops so all the crap on the floor misses or gets resisted.
