Reminds me of this: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=849835 but different. Seems like the poster in the thread I just linked was alt-tabbing out and it would happen when he went back in to swtor.

First boss is praetorian, second is ambush, third is exarch. It's that way in all of them. Paladins aren't bosses, they're optional sub-bosses.

The thing that confuses me is the people saying "if you want things to be more "difficult", just dismiss your companions... Duh!" Doesn't make much sense to me when this entire xpac revolves around recruiting companions.

I'm thinking that the chain of companions unlocked via Aygo are going to all be pvp related.

Wait... what? Second "boss" in heroic SF is "Ambush" and consists of exactly 4 enemies. There are no adds. The encounter starts with 4 in the room, and nothing is added. Wth are you talking about?

This. Force users get synthweaving, underworld trading, archaeology. Tech users get armormech, underworld trading, scavenging. All capped at 500. Schematics will need to trained/learned. Edit: bah, month old semi-necro. My money is on dscount having it figured out by now, lol.

Yep, feedback is important to them. In fact, feedback on the changes to companions is so important to them, they started their own thread about it... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=855014 But maybe your input is so special, it requires an entirely separate thread? /shrug

If it was just that, then why make this thread?

Bump. Still no credit for this. Not sure what to do. I don't care about the 20cc, really just want my knight sign.

I realize I was wrong here, but with the upcoming change to the difficulty naming for heroic SF I'm feeling a bit psychic... Lol!

They don't come from post-4.0 hypercrates. That said, I bought a pre-4.0 hypercrate 2 weeks ago and got 6 certs from it. Paid 8.2 mil for the crate, so if you're getting 1 per mil worth of slot tokens, it seems to me that the slot machine is still the better payout. Edit: if you're buying crates purely for certs, that is. Which no one does, so whatevs... Lol.

She sounds hideous...

I had a datacron deco drop during a Hoth heroic the other day. I don't doubt that the drop rate has been reduced, but they for sure still drop.

I'm curious to see if they've fixed the companion mainhand weapon bug with this incoming patch.

Named my inquisitor "Geohde" in an attempt to be somewhat subtle about it, lol. Ge Oh De But yeah, being offended by names because of a Christian bias seems silly in a game that is set in a galaxy far far away.

I've also noticed that since 4.0.2, my companions seem to stop healing at random times and just seem to idle for a few seconds. Not sure why this is, but I've seen others mention it in other threads. As mentioned by someone else, the devs are currently working on something and we'll be given more info on Monday and hopefully a fix/buff for companions on Tuesday. Until then, if you're having difficulty, I would just steer clear of some of the more challenging heroics (the ones on the higher level planets that were previously designated h4's).

Did you play SWG? If so, which server?

On the bright side, I was gonna add the stipulation that you publicly admit that Tarquinas was the best SWG server ever. Soooo, at least you're off the hook with that.

Aw. Sorry, Holo. Wish I had seen this thread when ya started it. Here's to hoping they fix this for those that got shafted...

Drop me a line on Harb, I'll hook ya up. No charge.

Check the dev tracker. Companion buff incoming.

Oh, he'd be a BH for sure. Makes perfect sense.

Better job than they did. If the exoguard helm didn't have the glowing eyes, it'd be damn near perfect. Well done, sir. +1 internets to you. Edit: though I would have named him Batmando

The Hero of Corellia achievement at the end had me cracking up. Thanks for the laugh.

I thought you were joking, but nope, these truly are npc's... Nice find!
