You know when you have to buy a new cable to charge your phone? I think its more like that and Apple just happen to update the software the same day. Not iOS10 update but iOS11.

Okay, then I guess I can do stuff I sort of wedged myself in that doorway that opens afterwards so I wasn't having too much movement caused by him. Spent so much time with some kind of CC on me but when he jumped into the air all I could think was he's not healing so CD hurry up. I can't imagine a class that either has lower health or low damage succeeding here. Its not exceedingly impossible but it doesn't seemed tuned for every class. As a tank spec I was able to soak up damage better which was the only way I could ignore everything else to focus on interrupts. No reason this shouldn't be scaled down a bit being old content (given where we are today and what is stated within the flashpoint... makes bringing Arcann sort of funny). I doubt they will given their refusal to make some really old stuff soloable. Hope it helps. Maybe I'll go back to the Eternal Champion arena and try getting past level 7

I got another piece of gear from the crates the other day. First piece in 30 or more levels I think. Its still terrible for gearing but I honestly don't mind that. Its just extra stuff to (though my banks are way too full of appearance stuff for me to even care about that any more). I think once they make the change to them they will be more reliable and it is a nice way for those that don't do much group stuff any longer such as myself. Faster is always better but really I'd rather it just be chocked full of decorations or something I might keep. Still not fully geared in my current tier which is no issue for me. I find it better than opening a pack. I never get anything I'd want to keep there so don't bother buying those any longer (just unlock stuff now with my monthly). It wouldn't hurt to rework the RNG that's everywhere in the game. But I'm against getting rid of GC for any reason cause I like free stuff. Its more fun to gain gear from doing group activities really which we can now (though I don't currently but I'm getting that itch). Making it legacy wide removes the progression of those characters (ever as slight as it is) and there's always the hope something decent is going to pop out from the various characters. But i don't hate the idea. Its just not a major want or desire. It just seems so many act like GC is all they have for gearing. Its terrible for that. I think I have a better chance at something great from a pack than a piece of gear. I really hope they add the stuff from old packs to help with some of the collections I want. I won't even buy packs when something I want is inside as I hate the gambling aspect. But something I get free every once in a while giving me something I want might make me care more what GC drops. So in that regard, I really don't want legacy wide since newer characters get more. If there's something to do with chance (more good stuff from higher GC level) then make it legacy. If it remains pretty much the same sort of stuff as now, keep it as is. Like I said, I like free stuff.

I clearly thought my character was serving as a figurehead who put Lana and Theron in charge and just stepped in when something needed hitting. So getting that whole speech of how I was doing this and that when I was only going by what my two 'advisors' sent me left me puzzled. But I am concerned about being left with an alliance ran by two (one really). I never got to bring information to them it seemed nor plan something. So the potential still isn't reached for me and if they do make Theron not part of the future story then they may as well redo everything previous so that its Lana leading the Jedi Council and starting my training and forming the plan against the emperor. Ruling the senate. just all of it since that's what I can imagine it would be like in the future without having a counterpart for Lana.

I really like this game but that doesn't mean I don't also like ripping into the parts I really dislike. I honestly hate being critical of things I consider somewhat artistry that people either have or don't. Its really hard for me to be critical of writing. I know what I like and don't and the writing of late I've been sorely disappointed in. Its been choppy (as in someone actually went through and chopped sections out) and not made a heck of a lot a sense at times. Doesn't mean I don't like the direction and story overall. I had played ESO before. I liked that okay. Its a nice looking game with blah looking characters in it who have some over the top blah acting and terrible blah story lines written (I seriously never cared about any of them a bit). But I was okay with it until the ads started in game so often. Then new content was locked behind paywalls for subscribers. Then the game play was made blah I was over it. You can't just sell me on a blah experience in a pretty game. This one is as pretty but its nice looking that fits with itself. Sort of cartoony realism or something. The characters seem to actually have something meaningful to say and what you do leaves an impact on them. The game play isn't as fast but within its on use of cool downs and such it feels smooth on a computer (usually, that could use some care). I find sometimes even an alliance alert can be entertaining. But I love that I hate some aspects which I complain about instead of the bye see ya I gave my last game.

That's what I mean. Title goes to winner, everyone else gets the same prize. Participation is all that's needed. One the winner gets to see their name on a planet being the difference but I wouldn't be surprised they just do away with that. They could work where the winners or top 10 but really that wouldn't matter, just get barely more. One extra or something of what they receive now. Maybe a winner planet decoration if they don't get those now (I have no idea how the guild level works). Not sure if there's a way to help smaller guilds without punishing large ones so they either expand the 10 to 20 or everyone gets it so its not so special anymore. Maybe what they need to do is break it up so you have more planets up for you can only try for one set and have to allow other guilds the rest. But no idea who's attempting what (unless they squeal) and so someone is always going to face off against a large guild but a smaller one might luck out and go after one not in play. Since they're bringing Imp vs Pub back, it should be largest Imp guild vs largest Pub guild just down the line to further reduce how much you can tackle. There's just simply no way to ensure a smaller guild has a chance unless they just make it RNG in some fashion.

Okay, I finally got the Voss one done and the OP is right, that one is a little rough. I definitely got frustrated. I had to remap my keys because interrupts (or interrupt as I found out) have to be my rotation (or the star of it). I found when he jumped in the air the heal would happen next usually. Then another attempt 1 second later or so making your interrupt on cool down half the time. You will miss an interrupt regardless (or I did) as he casts a second one after his first is interrupted which help drag the fight out. I used the turrent for that added dps, companion had to stay on heals or he'd just eat through it. I just gave up trying to avoid the red as he would cast the further away I was and mine is a melee interrupt. I managed to keep him right at half before he started using it so often. He also says the same thing afterwards instead of before making that useless so had to watch his cast bar. I sort of figured out when a cast was something different but he said the same thing like he had healed so dunno if I missed on by not watching so closely. Place my turret, wait for the interrupt (seriously, it takes all your attention or it did mine) then he'd cast his next one. It took time and just wearing him down as I could always keep him from regaining all he'd lose.. That's all the information I remember that might be helpful. I just thought of something, is this one of the games you can choose difficulty on? I know mine's not hard because i suck at button smash gameplay. This was long compared to the others (I seriously had no issue with any of the others as none healed like this). Maybe that's it? Anyways, I could only interrupt the first cast after he landed. Even the interrupt you get from the advisor is a ground cast so not really helpful for me after all.

To me, I think romances are the stupid. The only reason to do them is for the added story but once they're completed you're right back where you were only your in a romance. They don't seem to add anything more than their added bit of story. But when you feel there a lack of story to consume then there's a bit to enjoy. That's all they seem to me and maybe I've just not noticed any other benefit to them so not that huge to me. I just never gotten the attraction. I do dislike the lack of epicness stories have when there's just a few characters involved. Of late just having Lana and Theron in everything makes it seem small and insignificate. I'm more disappointed of late that this Alliance I've headed is so tiny that every small thing it does needs to be headed by me and one of the other two in it. Even romanced companions aren't involved. Romancing Lana and Theron would make it feel even worse. So I'm not bothered that they aren't highlighted or mentioned. They don't add anything as is.

Maybe they could add another tier for smaller guilds so a planet is conquered by a large guild with an insurgency from a smaller one. Of course guilds will see they can't compete with larger ones so limit their own member size. People will find a way to game any system in place. They may just develop a participation trophy where everyone who tries gets the prize.

I've decided to start doing these again due to this thread since I never did all of them. Going to try the Voss one today and so far they play pretty much the same as the first. I believe one of the benefits you get from your advisors is an interrupt to help when yours are on cool down. We'll see how it goes. I like using the turret from the advisors since that speeds up the fight and if you need some breathing room it usually taunts for a bit. I think all those abilities have a 3 minute cool down except the heal. Old content like this usually does become something people forget and gets ignored when balancing happens. They still haven't fixed the bug encounter when i have to resummon my companion after every elevator. But they all seem the same so far in terms of run through and final boss. I even encountered a bug where none of the shield protection (whatever its called) dropped so I couldn't get through the last bit to the final boss. I got the stuff to drain the boss on the lower levels but never the shield. First time I'd ever seen that. I know its probably not welcomed but its just something to keep at. Eventually you'll find the combination that lets you pull out a win. I think its possible (or should be) to eventually win. It would be nicer if all specs had equal chance but I don't think that's likely to happen for these at this date.

If I recall, Lana takes the news pretty easily. The whole thing really. You tell her he's in your mind and she says lets don't tell anyone. I didn't get the option to kill Koth (and I do think he's overly annoying) since at that time I had no idea if what I was experiencing was actually real. That the emperor was really there and this was some trick to drive me crazy. If I had taken it as truly real I may have gotten fed up with him more but I take the Koth character as one who has trouble seeing outside his own 'world'. He may go out to space and see other worlds but he doesn't associate himself as 'they are like me'. Its not unlike how the Empire sees others as lesser. The Republic sees others as possible foes or tools. Just a typical mindset of most humans.

Look, dude. I stopped reading after this but I want to make one thing clear and its going to be the very last time. You and others have carried on that if people want the kill option denied to everyone they are denying you of some choice. I haven't done that though agree that if we're all going to have to suffer when its used then sure, denying it at times is perfectly fair to me. Do you understand because I tire of repeating the same thing over and over to people that just refuse to accept their choices shouldn't affect me and others. If you don't understand then I'll happily ignore you and go about my business griping about what I want to gripe about and people will just have to get over it. And you have no idea what I own or not so don't pull out your inner twelve year old to me. edit Well, I did finish it and shouldn't be surprised so welcome to the list.

Hmm, I think Satele Shan was chosen specifically now because of the majority of Harbringer. Maybe the complains were mostly from there and so they said, oh that offends you, have some of this

My favorite was when she promised to take care of my knight's crew if anything happened to him. So, you know what that means... a lightsaber to the gut!!

Still makes me wonder if that's okay for you (not me but we'll ignore that for now) and you have to rename then whay not do just that? No matter what happens in that setup, you are forcing renames (adding something) when you said that's unacceptable except when its not? Everyone who has to rename should just rename to what they would have found acceptable and I think we'll all be fine. I'd rather that than keeping my original name with some old server tag or initials or numbers on it. I want a name not some gamer tag.

I can't wait to see which one goes down first!

The sexual slang people are alluding to is this frozen pastry that you heat up in 5 or 6 minutes. Honestly, I have no idea so think people just made something up to be offended by. Unless you hate your cheese melted on your ham but then I've always picked perperonni. Oops, did I just cuss?!

Well, before this becomes a thing and such I want to say I do not want anything added to any of my character names. Not my user name and not my server. And certainly not a number. I played some game which merged and we all got our names changed to name@oldserver. I think it was ESO I played that went by account name and perhaps I'm mistaken (its been awhile) but I don't think you saw just a character name but some alphabet soup I can't remember. Like character name then account name under then guild name. Whatever it was it was ugly so I just turned name plates off since character names had no use that I could see. Sort of like Skyrim except without the save file title. It does make me wonder what these names are so many are afraid of losing like they must be really common or something. I bet it is Kenobi!

I'm trying to stay positive (but always ready for disgruntled) since we've seen the worse returns they can do and unless a lot of someones out there told them those were the best things ever they'll do a bit better. I'm not super excited since they can't even treat the ones we have currently decently. I can imagine my knight getting all his back but only T7 and Rusk having speaking parts never speak. One makes beeps and the other I almost killed in an alert because he's so boring. But no one steps foot onto the Defender until I get a mission or two from each!

We could do that or just remove all player choices within the game. If so I'd rather they simply shoot me an email (like I read those) to ask what I did. Of the two, I prefer they go with me so everyone belongs to the Republic and saves unredeemable characters. Heck, if Vader can get a force ghost then anyone can be redeemed (though I'd give that up to have him CGI'd out of the film). I had to trim most of what you wrote because you keep talking around what I've been saying. Especially here. I knew Theron was going to be the one to betray us because he was just the most likely of the two just like I don't believe he's actually betrayed us if you've read my previous statements. And as you say later, its the problem of companions just becoming like the dead Torian I pulled from the Terminal yesterday for kicks (dunno what for but it was the only way I knew to spit in the eye of this practice). I don't need another pointless companion who adds nothing to the story. Just like I don't need any of my original companions back if that's what they will be. I dunno why people are so happy to have Quinn back since they could have this version of him from the Terminal some time ago. Elara is another the poster above forgot to list as a victim of the practice. I'm hoping things will change but currently I'm just going by what is happening and not by what I hope will. I also have no intention of denying you your choices as long as your choices do not affect me. You do understand that right? What if any character you kill or got rid of in some fashion appeared in every cut scene you had like you never made those choices? Wouldn't that get on your nerves? We've had this again and again and again. I'm just sick of it. And a larger cast of character in which one turns out to be a traitor isn't going to piss me off as much. You seem to think its because its Theron. Its because its the second of two I have left that do have involvement in the story and I've seen this play out enough to know what could happen... again. I'd be just as upset if it was Lana when we have so few and yet so many who have been treated this way. I get that you don't care or think this time its going to be different or whatever the reason is. But you can't understand why there are those of us who are tired of it happening over and over when the solution is make the cast bigger or tell a different type of betrayal story then I have nothing left to make you understand. Its been happening as long as I've been playing and I'm about fed up. I personally am tired of giving them a pass on badly written story when they start cutting down what companions I have left to even care about a story with them. I'm still wondering what the heck I saved any of them for if this is all I get to show for it. It makes the whole decision a pointless endevor so they may as well just stop giving me a dialog wheel and just add RNG to it.

Waitaminute.... how do you know it says Luke Skywalker of the Skywalker Legacy? And can't you turn legacy surnames off. If not mine must look like I stutter

They should have renamed it Lana Beniko. Something we all love and adore

Computers that know what a person means and not what they type (if the hidden characters are used). Like autocorrect? It always 100% works for me... I'm sure BioWare beat Apple to that solution years ago

I wasn't bothered by the name myself though I did get a laugh when I read the Roadmap since I didn't read it correctly. I figured, ah must be an west coast thing. Had no idea it was taken from SWTOR lore. Heck, I didn't even know there were KOTOR comics of any type (maybe you should sell those in the store ) If you ever change the server names again might I suggest East Coast, West Coast, etc etc?

On the second part, I didn't. I watched that (and various other relationships) on YouTube. I do remember him saying that which makes it even worse for a lightsided character. That can't just be shrugged off and if this is any indication we'll all get the same reason for betraying as we did this time around. Just imagine if this scene played out a tiny bit different... Theron has actually switched sides and accuses your dark sided Siths that you have saved too many and done everything in your power to promote goodness and light throughout the galaxy. That's almost the reverse of what light siders got. We're the danger. You can't just wave that away and say Game of Thrones in my opinion. I doubt Game of Thrones would have done as well with all their conflicts and betrayals if there were three people in the show besides the non speaking extras. The show would have ended its first season with two standing to continue with. You do get it partially right. Its not the betrayal itself or wanting to do a Game of Thrones type plot. Its what happens after. I can't stand the idea of having yet another non speaking companion having no involvement within the story. Not when we've only got two left. This would have been so much more entertaining to me if they had revived some companion to take part in it but that would have required them to be around before this all begun. Killing companions is a fine choice to make as a player. Its a terrible choice for Bioware to create when we're looking at two speaking companions. I think that's going to change eventually given they are currently working on bringing companions back but still they need to address the way the kill option results in silent forever companions. It makes our choices pointless. I saved Vette over Torian but I may as well have let her died. The payoff was she said thanks. I bet he would have too. They might as well have written that Vette hooked up with Kira to go space sailing or something. She may still be alive in my story but because someone was given the chance to not save her she's the same as dead. That's what needs to change and maybe that's what they'll learn from all this about Theron. If we have companions in our story then they should get as much air time as the ones who never had a chance to die. If you can't do better than that then it means you need to learn something new. If they want to keep going this route then they need to suck up the cost of it. They'll have to spend money on something not everyone uses because they wanted some entertainment and get the forums stirred up. If you look at your tab, we have a list of main characters. Those should have had any number of roles even if its just helping Lana out scanning for Theron. Been set up by him to fake us out. They are main characters after all yet they don't tend to speak because someone somewhere once had the chance to kill them or let them die or whatever the case is. Keep in mind I'm not advocating people be forced to accept him back into the fold. But I am tired of having to pay for someone else's choice in what character they kill or allow to die. Besides I think this results mainly to save the company some cash. Seems fitting that someone might save themselves some cash by unsubbing. And if this happens to Lana too I may just burst a blood vessel. Thankfully my main character is male and they don't tend to screw male characters over like they do female. Its always going to be one of their love interests that takes the hit. They're adding sad scarred Arcann just to give them something since I guess they've done in all the rest of them. Theron's just the latest.
