And so it begins ... /facepalm

Whoa, hold on a second there. You actually saw someone die in game Pics or it didn't happen

And what does that tell you ? I'll tell you what it tells me ... it tells me that even a small game with a small studio with crappy earnings for the year can STILL release more stuff than this AAA title.

I'm not on the fence and I have tons of sub time before I even have to consider it but I think I would be happy with just some humility and the willingness to move forward knowing this expansion pack failed. As long as I knew that they had the intention of developing this game for the long term and their actions backed it up then I would gladly be content and go back to playing the game. I really hate having to sit on here trashing the game all the time.

I had an interesting thought. Since the subs are obviously way down and we just past the first date that some already missed and therefore they will lose the companion and the chapter no matter what. So by the time August gets here and month after month of being eliminated from being able to do this quest. What do you think the actual percentage of people will actually be able to play it ? 5% ?

Even Dcuo as small as it is on the pc side has massive changes coming up that just embarrass what is going on around here. Coming to Xbox 1 in Spring 2016, PS4/PC Crossplay on the 25th of this month, New content next month with multiple story lines instead of a one size fits all for everyone no matter what. Not to mention a brand new power coming out as well as the multiple powers they released in the past year. And this isn't even everything. I am actually really disappointed in Bioware. I never thought I would see the day where I praised anything that was attached to SoE.

Whatever, you have pretty much zero credibility now. 15 minutes bwhahaha ... sure thing slick All I really see in this post is I'm a victim and want Bioware to change the game to fit my interests.

Not sure how it's offensive when it wasn't directed at anyone except on the man himself and was directed at no one on the forums. Nice try though. You guys really need to learn the meanings behind all those big scary words you like to use. You know you just do this because your trying to create a higher image of yourself by using fancier words to make yourself appear more intelligent than you actually are. It's not my fault that others suffer from insecurity. So, enlighten us all on how my original post was offensive to anyone on these forums other than just stating his quotes and then my opinion. Now, if you're butthurt because you don't agree with that than it is also not offensive. It's just a personal issue. You'll get over it. Seriously, take your time .... I'll wait. Ps .. I'm also not sure how referring to you as the ideology that you belong to is an insult but hey if you need to look down on yourself then who am I to say anything.

Then you finish combat and wait for it to re-pop. Is this a serious question ? The victim status in this game is I don't even know ... wow. For what it's worth I do send out group invites for stuff if the resources are limited so I'm not really defending the actions here. I guess it's more of a what the heck happened to gamers and why are we wanting to bend over backwards to create safe zones in a game. Like really!!

If you know it's possible to do this in game and you don't take actions to secure your node which you don't own and no one really owes you anything than it's your fault. I click the nodes before I even fight the mobs ... it's not like you or your companion is actually going to die doing it. What is it with all the control freaks that have to lock down everything in this game for all the entitled people. The arrogance to even suggest that is "yours" is just mind blowing. Yes, I wish people were nicer and more courteous but they're not and it's never going to change. Like I said ... look out for yourself. I'll use my own analogy - If you know the snake is going to bite and yet you still test it then don't cry when you get bit. Seems like common sense.

Once again, ignore my opinion if it bothers you that much and go back to worshiping your idol. I know it's hard but you can do it. Even still you think I am getting worked up but I'm not. I'm just sitting here responding to your questions and pointing out the very obvious. Stop responding to me begging for me to respond with your questions.

All because there was no real grouping required. If there was that person would have died long before he ever to your location. But yeah, people will be jerks regardless and will go out of their way to be competitive. I don't really see an issue with that though. All I can suggest is to get better and use the mechanics for your own interests. I don't want Bioware to sit in game dictating what is and what isn't acceptable beyond the currently employed control measures.

Because that isn't how the real world works. This is a public forum (well, provided your subscription is up to date) and I won't silence my opinions to spare someone's feelings. You guys must live in some fantasy world where unicorns go around sprinkling everyone with magic feel good dust to avoid being triggered.

I just want to add this is what happens when there is no incentive to group. Everyone just looks out for themselves. It is destructive to what mmo's are suppose to be and that is playing well with others.

This right here. Oh the things I have seen said to others just in warzones that would put some people to tears . You get used to it. I wish it was better but I'm not holding my breath on it.

It all depends on how quickly you find the parts and since no one does it anymore it can take a long time sometimes. I've seen one part by itself take hours before but I've also seen someone find one in 5 minutes. I would suggest finding a friend or two to help you on this phase as it will go much faster.

I can only speak for myself but for the most part it makes any gear progression pointless. I know I still get passive stuff and only things like mastery and endurance are capped but I still hate it. It removes any motivation I have to do end game content knowing the gear I will receive will be gimped no matter where I go. And I don't spend my time raiding to be dragged to the level of some new player that just walked into the game. It's like the poor crying for taxes to the rich while they work at Taco Bell. Anyway, just think about it Bioware. I'm trying to throw money at you.

Omg, I completely forgot about corpsedrag. I couldn't tell you how many times I had to do that for others since I had feign death. Thanks for the nostalgia;).

I know I think it's a decent enough idea. I think they just fear that it would gain traction and the devs would act accordingly and that scares them.

I remember. I also remember some insane reputation (faction) grinds in Vanguard. Omg, no items in the game to boost it either. 1 reputation per kill that took an entire group of people to take on mobs that were like mini raid bosses. Now times that 21,000 mobs to max out the reputation just so you can get the starting quest to the new raid . Good times were had and I made friends with people I still know today. And what about corpse runs and losing xp on death and even more if you didn't retrieve your corpse. Kids these days have it made.

The community is too divided OP. It doesn't matter what you post or what ideas you have. We still be at each others throats using extreme polar arguments to make our cases until some compromise is reached. Just how it is.

No, it isn't. Mocking would be quoting said person and then going on about how they are wrong. This was never done. Every single person in here has a valid opinion and they posted it. Actually just by challenging people on it to create some system of control (you guys sure do love that for some reason ... thanks for the authoritative society by the way) you are making it worse. If no one would have ever questioned the negative outlook post than nothing would have ever came from it. You are actually creating a hostile environment in this thread by doing so. But I'm sure here soon freedom of speech and expression will be completely decimated and you can have all your thoughts dictated to you. If anything the aggressors are the fans while we are just defending our stance.

Is it possible that since level sync puts you +2 levels above the maximum for a planet that maybe the quest was a low end quest for that planet and you were the maximum level of said planet that it technically created enough of a level gap to do that ? If so they could just remove the +2 levels and just put us at the maximum level of planet. I highly doubt the +2 levels will make that much of a difference in difficulty.

I've done it but I'll agree with you. The solo game shouldn't be catered to my skill set because that is just un realistic and will tank the game. Especially after chasing away a huge chunk of the raiding player base. They made their bed so they are stuck with what they have. Can we at least agree the difficulty needs to be increased a little bit ? I mean there will always be someone who can't do content. You can literally put an i-win button in this game and someone will still figure out a way to make it fail. While I agree that we shouldn't scale this game to the top end we shouldn't be making it for lowest end either. Can we at least have that compromise. The game needs to at least at the very minimum encourage people to want to learn. That is progression. Not faceroll until you hit the brickwall called flashpoints and then just play class stories over and over making the metrics look like that's all they care about when in fact the hierarchy of difficulty in this game is broken. Can any of you really deny this without being a complete liar.

You mean how they purposely over nerfed them knowing they would buff them to the levels they were really shooting for to minimize the butthurt. Yeah, I remember that too. Their psychology kung fu only be working the feeble minded. You guys got force persuaded by the devs. It's funny and sad all at the same time.
