Having same issue. I think devs are aware of this and have it in their open issues list

Very well said. I am having deja vu of SWG NGE For some reason BW/EA is trying to kill alts. I have only 16 alts and now I have to grind only on 5 in a week. I think they won['t be able to release new content before the new star wars MMO is released by Ubisoft, so they are trying to slow us down.

Better to be late and release a solid good game experience. We can wait for 2 more months. Keep up the good work and take some well deserved rest before the release

Next big bug fixes will happen probably in next 1-2 years if we are lucky. What you are calling bugs (like GTN, story, codex etc.) are actually "features" for our enjoyment of the game so BW have decided not to fix them. In meantime all the programmers are working on new cartel packs by re-skinning existing stuff.

My problem with tactical PUGs is new players not trying to learn mechanics, then blaming tank or healer and rage quitting. I love to explain the FP, fights etc if someone says they don't know it. At the star of every FP, i ask if anyone needs help with boss fights etc. Many cases, someone will say yes, this is my first time and I try to help. Most players appreciate it. However, there are exceptions (more frequent than you would imagine). So it goes like this (me) Hi everyone - does everyone know this FP? (group) total radio silence (me) great, so it looks like we all have done these fights before. Lets roll. (after few wipes) folks - does anyone need help with this boss fight? (group) total silence again (me) ok, lets do it again (after few more wipes) someone will rage quit and we start waiting for better luck with replacement. Sometime i will pull my companion (50 affection) and put it to task.

If this is true - I am moving to Russia lol. Of course, my liver will give out pretty quick dong Vodka binge

Devs, thanks for listening to our voices. I think this will go a long way in making the H2 grind fun again. With so many companions, doing H2s has become even more necessary (and I have 15 alts). The proposed changes will make doing H2+ a bit faster. I will also be able to do them solo when I get a short time (like 15-30 mins) to play the game. Thanks and best regards

Ah, memories. Even with bugs in pre-NGE SWG, I loved it. It was almost a perfect sandbox MMO for me. My first toon was a smuggler, and I felt like a smuggler. I harvested, crafted, built housing, *****ed about the bugs but kept playing till my guild was torn apart after NGE.

Very well put. It is no longer fun - it is tedious.

You may be right. It may be BW's ruse to placate the outpouring of emotions. But I have still given my feedback FWIW. Lets see how it goes.

Several characters at 65. My main is sage with 200-224 set piece gear. He has companion at 50 affection. The H2+ are doable. The problem is that the companion "forgets" to heal till I am almost under 20% HP. Then they try to heal, but the amount of heal is so small, it does not help much. if they were healing continuously, it would not be issue. So first issue is scripting fr the companions. I have not tried Start Fortress H2+ with this char yet. Will update when i have data. My other character is in 208 gear. Companion at 20 affection. This character is GS. She is having issues doing H2+ because - once again - companion forgets to heal. Star Fortress was a massacre. Third char is Juggernaut tank @65 with 208 gear. Companion at 25 affection. He can do H2 slowly. Problem is when companions forget to heal. Not tried SF H2+ on this one. You see a pattern here? It is something in the companion scripting. I do not have 1-50 characters. I will leave that feedback to fellow players.

Thanks for the poll. It may not be scientific, but it shows the trend that (1) majority of players are not happy, and (2) There are very few "elitist" players (14%0 in this game. I love Star Wars ... hopefully devs will come to senses and give a little boost to companions. If I had to swing the nerf bat, I would have done it gradually - 25% nerf at a time.

Same here brother. I was having so much fun doing all the old heroics that I had to skip in old days. Its back to square one again.

Don't forget Battlefront came out this Tuesday. Also, Fallout 4 is out only a week?

Actually, I am giving all my stuff (121 million credits and crap load of crafting mats) to my guildies. Unless you are one of them, sorry And, don't wish for all the casual players to leave - they are in majority. I would rather have fewer elitist players who play one game for few weeks, burn all the content, whine, jump to next game, rinse and repeat.. Most of the changes BW made is to attract casual players. Hopefully they will listen to them rather than elitists.

Couldn't agree more. Elitist think they are the best of the best (in game, of course) and make fun of casual players. They are the ones who destroy a friendly game with their elitist attitude.

You have no idea what is my line of work

Agreed. I play game to relax. I have enough challenges in real life so unlike some "elitist" players who in most likelihood have no real life challenges (read: dad pays bills) I play the game for letting steam out

have sub till Dec 12. Will decide at that time. Leaning towards cancellation.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The cries were from elitist jerks whose life is this game and they feel that everyone should be forced to group. Unfortunately, I play when I could and while I love grouping (lots of great people here in SWTOR), most times, I have 30 minutes or so free time. So, I was loving doing 1-2 H2+ missions solo. Now that is no longer fun. I was mising gearing up my companions, and them having different roles like pre-4.0, but at leaast their healing was good. Now They have taken away everything that was fun with companions: gearing them, using different companions for different roles, their post-4.0 healing abilities. I think the designers must be into S&M to make players like us suffer and laugh at us.

If those "RAWR MUST HAVE CHALLENGE" testosterone-overloaded types want a challenge, they can go play computer chess against Deep Blue. I'm here for the story. ^^^ This. Most of these RAWR players have no life - no challenges - dad pays their bills. I have to work, take care of family - pay bills. So I play games to relax - not for punishment.

I have my 6 month renewal coming up in 1 week. Maybe I will unsub it now. I don't have time to find groups due to my work (I have to make money to play game). So I was enjoying soloing H2+. I play this game for fun. I am not like those spoiled brats who play this game with their parent's money and whine. And I hope BW ban me for posting because I will have a valid excuse to quit this game (I love Star Wars ... ).

Because these morons don't play their own game any more. They make changes without testing them (you saw the patch fiasco today).

I think these idiots will re-adjust the companions again. If H2+ is not soloable witha companion at 50 affection, they are useless.

Looks like those credit sellers are back. On the bright side, they are back because the game is healthy
