After years, I'm finally making more progress by forcing myself to focus on one class at a time instead of doing them all like I want. Like in any game, I play when I want, how I want, and I don't want to have to talk to strangers. Years ago I tried a group flashpoint but never again because I want to make MY choices and have it be my story like a single player game so I really don't get why stuff is locked out. I want to see all the content and make choices so of course I accepted the missions because I want to see everything.
Because of doing all the missions and everything, I got max level already and I've been doing all the planetary heroics easily. I have spent SO much time travelling to each planet and doing the seeker droid and binocular stuf, only to find out at the end that I can't actually do them.
My problem is, why does it not make it SUPER obvious from the START that it's a group thing?! It seemed like a solo mission like anything else, talking to NPCs and doing stuff and getting rewards. Why does it wait SO late to have unbeatable parts?
This is a fun game, but it's not a normal game where you can play by yourself. Not everybody wants to interact with other people and we're left with nothing. I play games to have fun and I see them as movies and play everything out in my head, so having something be unbeatable just because I don't want to interact with someone on MY story really breaks the immersion.
I just feel like I wasted SO much time because they didn't make it obvious right from the start that it wasn't a normal mission. I'm used to beating heroics by myself! I just want to experience my own story and see all the choices and plot and adventures like any other game, without having to have other people which I refuse to do...
