  1. I just ran Esseles with a group a force users 2x shadow, 1x sentinel and 1x sage and it felt really slow for a "speed run".

     

    I think this is mainly because we are missing AoE. On Imperial side a group of 2x agents and a healer bounty hunter will make fast work of any trash groups while we had a really hard time running to each single target.

     

     

    Also I found it annoying that spawning trash seems to be invincible the first seconds thus taking no damage from exploding stuff. Sometimes they die instantly, sometimes they ignore it, sometimes they are just knocked to the floor with full HP.

  2. Cross Server Queues to get more healers / tanks

     

    Cross server queues will only increase the sample size for the group finder. Healers and especially tanks are usually hard to find.

     

    For one the tank and the healer usually gets the blame when things go wrong. As tank your group can work with you or against you, but it's the group that decides which way things go.

     

    If you have a group finder queue with 10% tanks, 20% healers and 70% dps on average on a single server, a cross server queue will not change that. instead of 5 tanks, 10 healers and 35 dps you will have ten times of then but the lack stays the same.

     

    You need to encourage people to tank / by being nice to them, not to pull aggro and please leave CC's alone.

     

    On PTS i have had groups that worked perfect, that would mark and even leave unmarked CC's alone / other groups will simply AOE anything or just dot a mark.

  3. I think the schematics currently available are broken.

     

    Armech and Synweaving schematics sell for huge amounts of money while I vendor the guns and sabres.

     

    I would suggest that you can trade in any schematic at a vendor and receive a schematic currency token.

     

    For three tokens you can buy a new schematic. The tokens are b.o.e. and can be traded on the GTN.

     

    Thus artificers and armstech guys can put some use to their useless schematics.

     

     

    The schematic vendor would have 12 somewhat randomized schematics for sale each week / resetting on each server reset. This will make random schematics more valuable / increase the useless schematics in their worth and yet make it possible to receive the schematics available.

  4. I think it would we great if the Allies Patch would contain a Ready Check tool.

     

    Purpose

    It´s purpose would be to see if everybody is ready for a pull -

    Playing a clearly hearable sound - Asking every Group/Operations member if they are ready and displaying the result - Yes, No, AFK - best as small icons ontop of the operations frame.

     

    In a group anybody can issue a Ready Check - In an Operation those who are eligiable to mange them (e.g. place target markers).

     

    --------------

    For marketing purposes it would be possible to add a spell "Ready for Readycheck" in the general spell book of the character - next to adaptive armor.

  5. First of all it´t working - I mean i got more runs and social points on the test server than i got on my main.

     

    Issues:

     

    1) Lack of information

    What i dislike about the Group Finder, that i cannot tell what the current status is. Sometimes queuing takes seconds sometimes hours. I cannot tell, how many people are in the queue, if it does not have enough people to pair good groups, ...

     

    I would like to see:

    • Is the group finder missing Vital roles - E.g. does not have enough tanks
    • How long it takes for an average Group to be assembled
    • How long i am in the queue

     

    2) Bugs

    2a) Gathering does not seem to work

    I tried to scavenge droids in Black taloon and Hammer Station and it never succeeded

     

    2b) Replacements do not seem to work

    * Once telling "invalid group composition" - with a group out if 1x dps, 2x dps/healers - so missing a tank

    * Once unable to queue with a fresh group and one member leaving right away (free fleet pass?) - where the queue box stayes grayed out and told us - "already in group"

     

    2c) Stuck in a dialogue

    Were were starting the droid dialog in BT on the bridge and it would not start - We aborted like 5 times without any success or helpful error message

     

    2d) Stuck in different instances

    Upon group composition we ended up 3/1 in different instances - exiting and trying to reset did not work - either due bugs or player inabilities.

     

    3) Travel Home

    After Completing the FP i want to be able to travel to the spot i started - It is nice to be teleported to the Flashpoint for the start - but it is really annoying if you have to run back to the planet you are questing four times a day.

  6. I would like to see a readycheck implemented for any group - A simple Window with audible warning.

     

    Also the result should not be visible to the operations leader alone, but the whole group - as most Leaders fail to communicate the result - like "ready" or "we are waiting for xx,yy, zz".

     

    If the marks Yes/No/AFK are visible people willl know themselves if there is gonna be a pull or not and who is slacking. / In Wow this could be done with an addon called readycheck announcer, but without addons things like this cannot be implemented.
