I have a feeling she won't be, though, since BioWare tends to tip-toe around romancing "older" characters.
There is also the awkward
"Your ex-husband is in my brain"
thing.
Though honestly that's kind of awkward for all the romances.

Take your lvl 55 character to oricon on a dps class with low lvl influence companion. Solo the heroic without dying multiple times and post the video. Till then i am not gonna take anything you says seriously.
If you're citing a specific Heroic, then that's a sign that Heroic is too tough, not that the companions are too weak.
-
There's a pretty nasty fight in the Agent story before you get your first companion. If you stick to only main story you'll be undergeared and underleveled and up against a gold.
Once you get your companion everything shouldn't be over challinging If you want to make things easier, do an extra quest or a flashpoint or galactic starfighter and get ahead of the level curve.

Rank 1 companions are still too powerful for regular content, even now.
-
And I dont want buffs either I want companions restored back to pre 4.0
But then they'd be for the vast majority of players a lot weaker than they are even now, and Bioware would have an even bigger revolt on their hands.
I mean, they might be weaker now than they were if you geared them properly, but people generally didn't. A lot of people complaining about the companions now are annoyed because they don't want to have to grind gear for the player, how will telling them to grind gear for their pets go down?
-
If you're having trouble doing them while levelling, honestly the easiest solution would seem to be to just leave them. Its not like you need the XP nowadays, and the story content is fairly minimal.
Or you could post a LFG message in general chat, after all there's a good chance someone'll be doing heroics nowadays.
-
Remember that you can now use the outfit tab so you're not effectively limited to oranges and you can use other classes appearances. Overall I think we're still coming out ahead as far as control over appearance
-
Its disappointing to hear companions are getting a buff. They really could do with being weakened, along with either making Heroic SF easier or more clearly sign posting that most people shouldn't be soloing it.
-
They're plenty powerful for any content they're supposed to be doing, so who cares if they're not as strong as they were with top gear pre-4.0
-
Gonna be honest, because learning to play does not really happen till 65. The reasons why:
If people wanted content to be done faster they wouldn't be complaining about the healer companion being nerfed. If you want to get stuff done quickly, use a DPS.
And with a DPS, stuff still dies really quick.

Why not reply to that thread in that thread

Level 65 Sage in DPS mode. Mostly 208s, some basic PVP gear. Using a 1 influence companion in a variety of roles/
The Heroics on Belsavis were fine, fairly easy. On Makeb however:
For the Record is almost impossible without a partner because of the poison gas.
Savage Skies the fight with the Turrets is challenging though doable with healing companion and sensible use of AoEs to clear the adds.
Vipers Nest is extremely hard when you're swarmed with silvers. There's way too much damage if you're soloing
I then got Qyzen who I think was 17 Inluence
Heroic Star Fortress
Was fairly challenging up to the Exarch, using Qyzen as a DPS. However the exarch trounced me whatever role I used my companion in despite using heroic moment, interrupting his impale attack, some attempted kiting and so forth. I then switched my character to Healer spec and Qyzen as a tank, and with that setup the combat was not especially challenging.
I also had a 65 tank Assassin run through the voss heroics, without any major issues. Had some trouble with the First Commando's call boss, but I think that was because I didn't deal with his spin attack correctly and got my companion killed.

I have been upset at the comp changes with 4.02 and I overreacted in my statements about it so now I wanna ask a no hyperbole question.
Is it still possible to solo the planet H2+'s without having to buy Treek or get a grp?
All but a few, yes.
VIpers Nest and For The Record on Makeb you should probably skip. For the Record doesn't have much to do with the Companions, its just not really possible without two people at least without some really clever stuff.
-
What is your class/role, so I can give it the fair try as the same type of character?
DPS Sage
-
Well, you're pretty tough. Most people aren't that well equipped, or honestly that good. I had some trouble with the opening fight in The Tyrant, and ended up running away and doing it in two tries. But I agree its basically fine.
You could try Vipers Nest on Makeb, that's the one that's really given me trouble so far. Well, that and the one with the poison gas but that's got nothing to do with the companions.
-
I would disagree. They need a boost, about a 5 percent increase in the effect of influence/presence and a healing boost between 10 to 25 percent IMO.
If they buff something, it should be base stats not influence. Boosting influence will mostly help the people who are already strong, and probably relatively skilled, rather than the people who actually need the help.
-
BW themselves said it. If you can't do [Heroc 2] with your companion, the nerf was too much.
Or that Heroic is a bit too tough. If 95% of the heroics are fine and the rest are a bit too tough, then they need to nerf the 5%, not buff the companions and trivialise everything except those 5%.
Or possibly the played needs to improve.
edit: I haven't tried all the heroics, but Voss is certainly fine to solo. Though the First Commandoes Call was a bit of a challenge on the boss.
-
My companion still seems much more effective than pre 4.0. So I'm a little confused by all this controversy
-
Game is still insanely solo friendly
Star Fortress H2 is presented like a Flashpoint more then a heroic.
Just a 2 man flashpoint
And its still very soloable if a player utilizes their abilities and items
Facing a group of mobs with one elite?
CC the Elite so you can clear out the others first
Dont want droid to summon reinforcements?
Interupt the ability when its being channeled
Need a fast heal in combat?
Utilize your stun or other CC type ability that all classes have
Utilize a knockback
ect ect ect
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having content that requires thought on the players part to complete.
You're missing my point. All I'm saying is that the Heroic Star Fortress is much tougher than other H2 content, and if its not intended to be then it should be nerfed.
If it is intended to be tougher than the other H2s, that's fine, though they could perhaps do better at conveying that so people don't try it without expecting a very high degree of challenge.
What shouldn't happen is the companions being buffed to make the current Heroic Star Fortress more easily soloable, because that would screw the rest of the content in the game.
-
The companions need to be balanced for the whole of the game, not just this one quest.
If the Star Fortresses are supposed to be equivalent to the rest of the H2s then they're much too tough and should be nerfed.

I eventually exited and came back in and it worke

Getting this error when downloading the new patch. I believe it had just finished installing the main assets part of the patch
-
On a scale of fine to screwed, you're attacking Russia in mid-January.
So he's OK if he's Mongolian?
-
Eric, does that include or exclude the [Heroic 2+] Star Fortresses?
Good question, they currently seem way harder than thhe other 2+ stuff.
They're quite fun as they are, but I'm not sure about adding more onto it.
cant seem to court mako anymore.

You can give Courting to Talos and M1-4X too.
