I might’ve missed this: Do we know when GS2 is ending? GS1 lasted 22 weeks, IIRC.

They discontinued some Tacticals, took them away automatically and paid you 100 credits for each.

Some players kvetched a lot on the forums and on Discord (directly to Chris) about inflation in the game, by which they meant that the prices on GTN for cosmetic items have been increasing. Since inflation is "too much money chasing too few goods," developers seem to have decided to cut down the growth of money supply in the game. The primary legitimate source of infusion of new credits into the game has been Conquest, with players completing it on dozens of characters and collecting the personal and guild rewards. Since the developers have control over that, they seem to have decided to make gaining Conquest four times as hard, and time-consuming while making it significantly less rewarding. The game now creates fewer credits per unit time than before 7.0

The Group Finder entry for Story operations has the following 2 bugs related to the level restriction: - The text label in GF is showing "Level: 70 - 80" instead of "Level: 80" This is causing sub-80 players to queue - GF is allowing players below level 80 to enter the GF and is grouping them with other players letting them think they can do the Operation; it is only when they try to enter the instance that they find out it is not allowed.

"Disabling Shot" is still available (Level 19.)

You should’ve gotten crates with 312 and higher gear while going from 75 to 80. You can do Daily Areas and Heroic Weeklies to get gear.

The support ticket response I got is really the first time I have been thoroughly disappointed with customer service in this game. They essentially said Add this as a suggestion on the forums and closed the ticket! I requested Jackie to review this thread. Others who have experienced this - please go ahead and add you names to this thread. To be clear, this is for those who have: (a) completed Conquest 100K during a GSF match (b) did not receive the 34 charges to the "Technological Advancement" mission doodad

Disagreement With The Combat Style System
mike_carton replied to Zolcor's topic in General Discussion
Vanguard does have two DPS Disciplines. This might be irritating to you but, didn't the game give you three chances to select / confirm?! -

Am I the only one who is getting eye strain with the new UI?
mike_carton replied to Naholen's topic in General Discussion
There were no requests from players to change the UI. The storage screens were all nice, easy to use, and never got in the way of your inventory management. This redesign was unasked for, a waste of resources, and it is so obviously bad that I'm surprised it made it through. They received this feedback on PTS and - like most feedback they receive - they ignored it. -
Spirit of Vengeance
mike_carton replied to PontifexPessimus's topic in Flashpoints, Operations, and Heroic Missions
Did you play this recently? They made 2 passes at it reducing the difficulty in several parts through changing mechanics, HP, number of additional mobs, how hard they hit, the composition of mobs and so on. It certainly doesn't take 2 hours anymore. There are multiple threads with a lot of suggestions on how to tackle this FP in case you need advice. I'd recommend having another go at it. -
If you got one, you would have the achievement for it in the Legacy menu under Possessions.

I interpreted "lining" to mean outline/applique/embriodery. The Elegant Dress has that. No information on what it is lined with but silk (*) would be my guess. (*)

Reminder: turn off general/fleet chat tomorrow
mike_carton replied to ShieldProtection's topic in General Discussion
How much of a story will there be to spoil? We're going to fight and defeat Malgus yet again. We know that from the FP on PTS. There will be some fighting on Manaan. I expect that to be like the Ossus outing; not too small in itself but not significant in terms of the impact on overall story. -
I did the same in 2017 when I disliked the gameplay direction; unsubscribed and also stopped playing. Only came back in time for 6.0 in 2019. My sub ends the last week of March if I don't do anything. That should give me time to decide if I want to resume subscription. Not yet decided between Final Fantasy and Secret World: Legends. Stay safe and have fun.

How about betting on anti-player changes that just accidentally happen to not make the patch notes?

So what exactly will happen on Feb.15 ?
mike_carton replied to Hrafnhildur's topic in General Discussion
I see this on Discord servers as well. Lot of inflated expectations regarding Combat Styles and Loadouts. "So my Infiltration Shadow will switch to this cool single-bladed Cartel Market saber and use lightning to fight or use stealth to avoid mobs." -
I sure hope that Bioware is paying attention.....

A blind, deaf, comatose lobotomy patient could read the room better. -
Check out Elegant Dress on GTN. Eyepatch (?!) and purple stuff (Black, gold, and purple on the same dress?) not included.
-
I do have both. The achievements are under "Legacy" -> "Possessions" -> "Gadgets". The Login Rewards one ("erroneous shipment") gives the hidden achievement "C8-O-M4T"; it is currently the 4th achievement there. The older one is the first and is called - appropriately enough - "Those Things Exist?"

They want fights to take longer and progress to be slower. Create new content or repackage old content and make it take longer? Decisions, decisions...
