    PTS: GSF added to PvP Season 3 track

    in Public Test Server

    Posted

    I feel like medal-based objective might be suboptimal for the quality of GSF matches if it were introduced.

    I base this statement on my experience completing the Galactic seasons objective (get Capture, Defense and Damage medals). The progression is very unbalanced between Deathmatch and Domination modes. Note how in Deathmatch you can only earn one type (out of three). If you really want to make medals an objective, you might need to rethink how you balance the two game modes. (Maybe don't discriminate between the medal types? Just use the total number of medals even if it's a bit "generous"). GSF is sadly not very popular and it could use such an incentive to attract players.

    Another issue to be mindful of is that medal-based objectives encourage players to ignore their teammates, instead people just focus on maximizing their medals earned even if it's detrimental for the team's winning chances. A prime example would be a Domination match where one team just controls 1 point and all team members just keep guarding it instead of trying to capture the other two points. Instead of trying to win the match they just choose to go for guaranteed Defense medals. I've been on both sides in such matches, sometimes both teams just have a "truce" and just farm Defense medals.

    Feedback Request: Galactic Season 4 and into the future

    • How are you enjoying the Galactic Season system overall?

    It is really fun, offers some goals for players to work towards and the rewards are nice!

    Do you like the Companions offered through a Galactic Season? Is there any way you think the Companions can be improved? What companion has been your favorite so far?

    Companions are very nice, it's also great to have a Companion being leveled to 50 naturally as the season progresses. Getting 2 compendiums to level the companion to 50 on other characters is awesome, too! My only suggestion is to give them more voicelines with actual English words rather than alien gibberish. My favourite companion is Fen Zeil but it's purely a matter of preference, they are all great!

    Do you like the rewards offered from Galactic Seasons? Are there rewards you wish were included in the reward track?

    Rewards are great, a mix of cartel packs, cartel coins, armors, decos and mounts. I feel like rewards are in a great spot at the moment.

    Do you enjoy the content used in Season Objectives? Are there parts of the game you wish you saw more, or less?

    I personally don't like PvP but it is nice to occasionally play it for the seasons. I feel like the seasons weeklies are in a good spot. On the other hand, I find the Daily 25k conquest mission extremely annoying. It forces me to log in every day and do something, else i am being punished by not getting season points. I would prefer having more Operations-related weeklies.

    Have you been able to complete Galactic Seasons? Do you feel the season requires too much effort, or is too easy to complete?

    It is ridiculously easy to complete, I never miss a single daily or weekly and get done in the minimum possible amount of weeks. Still, I think it's optimal, because I can relax and take a break after I have farmed lvl100 in a season.

    How does completing a Galactic Season fit into your desired play session? Are you able to progress the Season while doing your normal activities, or do you feel Galactic Seasons prevent you from completing the content you enjoy?

    A bit of both, but I feel it's alright to make players engage in various activities to be able to progress the season. As of now people can skip some weeklies and still get level 100, and it's great!

    Do you have any other feedback or suggestions for Galactic Seasons?

    The current system is perfect, please don't ruin it! Me and my friends just complete 7 weeklies every Tuesday and we are done for the week. Please don't overcomplicate the system, it seems to be working great!

    The only concern is the achievement for 100 weeklies. Me and my friends are long done with the season (lvl 100, all companion achievements obtained, legend status with the corresponding organization), but we still need 4-5 weeks of 7 weeklies per day for that one achievement. Please reduce it to 75/50 to make it better align with other timings of required playtime to get Season milestones.

    Feedback on Gearing in The R-4 Anomaly Operation

    in Flashpoints, Operations, and Heroic Missions

    Posted

    • Do you feel your group was able to progress in power through the Operation?

    Yes, as we got better and better gear it became easier to kill/farm the bosses

    • Do you think improvements could be made to make it easier to progress as a group? If so, what do these improvements look like?

    Don't gate specific gear types behind particular bosses. For example, some of us are just using blue 340 main hands instead of purple just because Dominique got buffed in the recent patch to the point where it's impossible to consistently clear the boss.

    • Did you want to upgrade your Hazardous gear?

    Absolutely, since it's BiS for tanks (at least pieces with tertiary stats).

    • How quickly were you able to upgrade your Hazardous gear?

    Relatively quickly but it would be great to have the prices reduced.

    • Was Hazardous gear helpful in completing The R-4 Anomaly?

    Again, since it's BiS for tanks, it was very helpful. Also people managed to get blue 340 main hands, gloves and boots and reach optimal tertiary stats.

    • Do you like the look of these armor sets?

    Nothing special to say, honestly.

    • Did you attempt to clear The R-4 Anomaly to earn these armor sets?

    Never bought anything cosmetic from the token vendor.

    • Is there anything you’d like to see from future Operations armors?

    Dxun armor sets had nice holo shield effects. Would be very nice to see some theme in future ops armors.

    • Do you like the look of this mount?

    It looks alright but loses to the Wings of the Architect and Dxun Reaper.

    • Did you attempt to clear The R-4 Anomaly to earn this mount?

    Dozens of times, only saw it drop once. Honestly, the drop rate is unacceptably low. I know people who killed Kanoth hundreds of times and only saw 1-2 drops.

    • Is there anything you’d like to see from future Operations mounts?

    Higher drop chance or a way to guarantee getting a mount (for example, Dxun timer unlocks the mount for all raid team members which is amazing and provides additional motivation to complete the timed run)

    Request for Group Role Icons

    in Suggestion Box

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    Most of the in-game assets (item and ability icons) are available through various sources including the wiki.

     

    However, the Group Role Icons are nowhere to be found.

     

    Request: could you please post high-resolution icons for Tank, Damage and Healer (and mixed roles if possible), preferably with a transparent background.

     

    Thanks in advance!
