When was MM FP intended to be for solo play i'm wondering this ? Companions are not broken. Plenty of people are saying complete false stuffs like you can't do this or this, or this is super hard i'm dying 100x times, yet i'm doing it with 30% on character i haven't touched for years, and with 270ish gear. And again losing population could be for million things. Also tons of people have quit cause the game is dead easy. Maybe some will come back. But that's not the case, cause the game is still on easy mode.

I have asked exact thing twice already, and no answer so far. I think it's more of a generalization.

In my very first point i stated that i feel your pain, cause i know what is it to kill your "playstyle" or the way you like to enjoy the game. One of the reasons i Quit POE, cause with every expansion the game literally wipes entire builds. Not nerfing, killing them, and i'm not talking about meta builds, but builds that actually require a lot of investment. And while i also like challenging content, as people already know by my post here, and that i believe chasing gear is a good thing, POE was too much for me. Because you need to be ON at least for 8 hours per day, which for me it's kinda bad design. You can progress, but in STD, and when a new expansion hit, they literally wipes your build. if you intend to play leagues, eh POE should be your main job. For me this is a bad design. This is what i like in SWTOR i can always progress, even if i play 2 hours per day or 20. It's just in a different rate, and actually progressing slower is a good, cause there is always something to do. But i just don't like to go out and the monster in the univers to not posses any treat at all and i to be able to semi-afk them. And as i said i see plenty of such opinion that X and Y content aren't viable, yet i'm trying then with less than 30% of my character capability and i'm able to solo them with ease and no treat at all. This is my problem with some people totally spreading false narratives. It's super hard for developer to take a feedback like that. ---------------- As far as 7.0 - totally agree - disaster. Sorry but they promised us a very big expansion, and we get nothing of it. I also play ESO, and i cannot even compare it to ESO DLC chapters, let alone expansion ...... As far as 6.0 - i was very happy with it, cause i usually play night time, and at that time i want to relax and play solo, going through the worlds, enjoy the game and the environment around me. It's absolutely the same in ESO. I barely play group content to be fair. In my old account i have done it, but with my guild, and was fun, cause we were talking in discord and so. But playing with random sometimes is a pain. In ESO tho it's a nightmare. As far as KOTFE - i actually liked the direction the game is going, and i actually loved not so much the story, but the thing that we have some power, that is not just the Jedi and the Sith. Also KOTFE trailer is the best trailer and "movie" this game/franchise ever has. It has so much potential, that they blew alway. Main problem is they just don't deliver enough content, otherwise they could have a very balance part of solo/group playing. But for that you need delivering regular contents. Yet they are having not much resources and on top of that they are wasting it on things that should be last priority if you ask me. As far as the last part - to be fair i never play with the intention to get that last piece of Item Rating gear. At some point i'm going to get it, but if i was playing the way like you are playing around alts(which is absolutely your choice and i'm okay with it) it would definitely be a game changer.

Where did i say i'm bothered how you play the game ? I asked if anyone promised that the game will or should be balanced to playing Atls, and that you will be able to gear up in a week time or so, all of your alts. But you are getting triggered by anyone who is trying to enter a discussion on here. Chasing items in RPG genre is always been huge part of it, as well as grinding for gear. I at one time had like 30 characters in POE, but the game is build around making a new one with seasons, but still the game was not build around playing and gearing your alts, it's pretty much impossible. In MMORPG the grind is a lot easier, and especially in SWTOR, where it's a cake. Yeah obviously 30+ alts is going to be a pain in the **** to be up to date, but again if anyone design a game around that, that is a terrible design. As far as the earlier stages. The biggest % of the player left this game was with the KOTFE expansion, you can guess why that happen, no matter how much some people trying to spin the majority stuff. Then it's actually show what people actually wanted and played, and what actually keep a stable player base. Not come and by, see and good bye.

Okay i have just finished Depths of Manaan on Story mode(like i was expecting something wow). Done the whole thing on 30% capability on my character which is level 76(actually i leveled up in the FP), with no tactical and gear rating of 380 or so(i think it was lower actually). I have it done it without companion at all. I send it to crafting and done it with the droid the FP gave me. It was dead boring easy, and i tried to dismiss the combat droid but i couldn't. I'm sorry but are we playing the same game ? I didn't even to do the mechanics properly, move on the void/lightning boss, not doing a proper rotation, not used one single defensive utility, and i have never really in danger of dying. You either have to trolling me, or you are dying to something else. I made some screenshot, if you like i can post it, as a proof.

It's a waste of your time. The 5 people that are keep spamming and claiming stuffs won't change their view, just like we won't. The problem is they just refuse to adapt, and will keep complaining. It's their choice. I will just keep enjoying the game. 7.0 is terrible, but the main reason for people leaving for me, it's the absolutely lack of content and how bad and small the expansion actually was. Everyone has their view and it's free to do whatever they like. I just don't understand all the crying. This is a Developer game, they made us for us. Trying to tell them what game to build for me it's ridiculous. We play their vision of the game, and that's it. If you don't enjoy, bad for you, there is plenty of options. MMO genre will never be a stale genre, there is a SP RPG for that. It's constantly evolving genre. SWTOR is the most solo friendly MMO on the market, so people should be thankful. What i don't like tho in some of the critics it's their agenda to completely spread false narrative that X or Y thing is super hard, ain't doable and all this stuffs, which are completely false.

I didn't ignore you, and i already mention what they have said, that they are going to do it. I asked why were are even on this topic, when this was addressed. Even with the so call "broken" stuff, everything is still doable. They just going to make the game more potato easy. There is not a single solo content(that is actually intend to be solo) that you can't do currently, if you pass the checks.

Yeah every should be challenging, not a walk in the park. We are at MMORPG. People like and want challenge, what exactly is wrong with that ? As far as the Heroics and so i didn't mention your name, didn't I ? But plenty of people were spreading false claims that you can't do x or y things after 7.0. As far as the "description" about me. Where did i say i'm superior to anyone actually ? I never do. But the whole trying to lying about certain stuffs aren't doable, just to force a narrative is terrible(talking generally, not about you in specific). And btw what skill are we really talking in here? SWTOR doesn't require you any mechanical skills at all. You just need to check certain things, that every single MMORPG require. SWTOR checks tho are a lot lesser to be fair, cause the game is dead easy.

I think we all understand that your green gear is garbage. This is in every single thread for 1 million time. I just asked a specific question, where exactly you are dying in the story mode, and how exactly. Your answer sound like i want to pull all the mobs on the planet and be able to kill them with ease. As far as companion goes i don't know if it's me, but i don't have the problem where Companion for whatever reason is not doing their job. Like healer not heal properly, or tank etc. I still don't have problem with Companion being able to keep me alive. As far as Dying, we are talking about the story FP-s right ? Want to be perfectly clear with that ? If so i will probably check this exact 2 later and see how it goes, cause don't want to talk before proper testing.

Simple you play the game, play Ops and you get them. If you don't want, you don't, but you are still perfectly fine. As i already explained, which are this MMORPG out there, and let's count how many of all of them exactly give you the best Gear in the game doing easy content casually ??? Pretty sure like 99% will require to do the highest group content. I know that people love bashing SWTOR Devs, but looking at the bigger picture, it's not just them, right? So maybe there is a reason for what they did, just like i already claiming ?!

Ah that one again. Tell me which exact Heroics you can't solo, and struggle . There was 1 guy that was struggling with the Black Hole one, and he claimed that you can't solo that Heroics. And yet i done it with ease, with no max companion, with crap gear, and on a toon i haven't touched for over a year or so, playing 30% of it's capability. The char 100% didn't have more than 1 datacrons in total. Read the same story for FP, which was 100% doable on solo as well. I even attached screenshot.

Can't try with the rest, as it is more of a personal opinion. But i completely disagree with that. The game at some point become a complete potato, and the main fault for that was totally OP companions. I hope they don't revert them to pre 7.0. You can do all the soloable content perfectly fine. Also i heard this thing like 10x time already and prove 3 people already wrong. See plenty of people that were talking about certain Heroics that i tried(not with a maxed character, but more like of 30% of his capability ), and they were done with ease. Heard the same thing for some Story stuffs, which was ridiculous. And for a FP, which was 100% doable solo.

Last time i check you can play just 1 classes, and you are just fine. Who exactly told you that the game was build around playing alts ? I doubt anyone build a game with that in mind. And come on, this game is and never was just a 6.0 expansion. There was a game before that, there is a game after that. I also never ever heard anyone on the Dev side claiming that. And if the game was build around that, why exactly they are introducing Combat Style then ?

Here is where you are wrong! I'm not saying that. Devs are saying that. Hell they make it like that. All i'm saying is i kinda see their reasoning in doing so. I have already said that they shouldn't have touched gearing, and waste resources when the new content was literally zero. Maybe they will try to bring new life to the group content and try to bring new group based player base, who knows. When there is a lack of Devs communication, at least a Devs Notes explaining why they are making X and Y changes, we can only guess. Again i understand where i'm, and that's why unlike most of you not complain about such stuffs. We are in a MMO after all. Usually in this type of genre BIS is either for the hardest content or gated behind hardest group play. Still we deserved better than 30 min story. I expected a big expansion, hell they pretty much promised a big one, and we get zero to none new content. This is my main problem. And i was so stupid to expect(more like a hope, but still) new end game modes.

Where exactly you are dying in the story, and how exactly ?

It doesn't matter if it was story driven, or not story-driven, it still a MMO. I guess you know what that mean. Again this thread and the comments in it. People on here, compare to any other MMORPG forums are actually super accommodating. Try that in ESO forums or WOW and see the backlash for example. They will tell you that if you want a SP game you should go play RPG and/or any SP games. I have such respond, just by asking if certain stuffs are viable solo, without demanding anything. In other MMORPG the so call hardcore players are kicking you out of the group for not been 150% optimal or if you tend to play a class, that currently is not that good in the certain role, which is ridiculous. They also used spy addons to see the gear/stats/damage and etc. We got none of that here and I never have experience anything like this in SWTOR, and i pretty much play on and off since day 1. And again gearing use to be fair for you specifically during the 6.0. Was it fair for you pre 6.0 ? How was the game for Solo play pre KOTFE ? Not that great, right ? If you think i'm happy with the 7.0 and why they decide to change the gearing system(wasn't necessary) when they give pretty much zero content is still a misery, you are wrong. I get their idea(would be cool if we actually have Dev Note for the changes), but if you obviously lack people/resources gearing should have been the last priority and content be the first. And no, my opinion ain't better than yours. We are on the same boat. I just learned to adapt. MMORPG patch/expansions will always delivers pros and cons for certain players. There is pretty much always stuff that you would like/not like. The problem with 7.0 is there is nothing to be fair that i like. For me Combat Styles and Loadouts are just QOL changes that have zero impact in my gameplay. Still i'm not complaining, cause for a lot of others people this is great changes that impact their gameplay a lot. At the end of the day we are players, the game is not ours. BW made it, and we play their vision, and i'm okay with that.

Yeah we(cause i'm solo) have the luxury to have a completely out of balance OP companions. Which Solo content is exactly challenging in this game, for real? And plenty of people are complaining they can't do Heroics after the companion changes. Not to mention plenty of solo players don't know their class at all.

For how many times we need to go through this ? They have already addressed this, why we even commenting on it it's my question ? And again they are not trying to do anything. They will fix the scaling and so. It's not how they intended to be, call it a bug or whatever. SWTOR cater to "group" players, but that was long ago. They have turn it around with KOTFE, and there was the big player base leave and never come back. For the rest, see my post above. Did i say anything like that ?

Again that complain it's like i enter a MP game and refuse to play in group .... How that it sounds? Yeah .... exactly! Same as going into SP game and start bashing developers why they are not allowing me to play in group with other people .... Yeah i paid them for the game, but at the end, you should know where are you. Gearing wasn't stuck behind, in 6.0. You know how much gearing has been change since the game comes out ? Some of you are acting like gearing was like since the beginning, but it simple was not ! Again Devs made tons of stuffs possible for solo play, and the game is super, and i mean super solo friendly, as well as super easy and casual friendly. Can you get best gear in WOW soloing ? Not even close. To be fair i'm not sure you can get it in ESO as well. But gearing there is a bit different. You have to do vet stuffs(a lot of people can't solo them), Arena on hardest difficult, crafting(which takes quite a lot, and i mean a lot of time) and Cyrodiil(PVP). And then still the actual highest gear i think comes from Group content. It's kinda the same in SWTOR actually. I guess you won't be able to get the best gear in GW2 and New World, just SOLOING. And before anyone start bashing me, for 1 million time, i'm mainly SOLO player. Still if i want to get to that 330 i would go do some NIM and that's it. It's the same for everyone. I think this thread and most posts in it, explain where the problem comes, when people start complaining in the Solo vs Group debate, and i 100% agree. Again you should know in what bus you are.

Yeah it does. Most people don't know the mechanics in most NIM OPs. Most people need whole guide for them. MM FPs are cake walk.

Totally disagree. It's MMORPG after all, it's no SP. You can solo all content in the game(obviously content intend for solo) with the gear you are giving for doing the solo content. In pretty much every MMORPG to get the BIS you have to do either group content, or very hard/challenging content. SWTOR made million changes towards solo players since it's launch, and it's probably the most noob friendly, as well as SOLO friendly MMORPG on the market. ESO is also SOLO friendly, but it's harder, combat is complicated(for casuals), and except for Overland(which players constantly want to be harder), it's way harder, and you don't have a companion to heal you up, while you on semi-afk.

That sounds like i enter a Single player game and go complain that i can't play in group ? I'm not playing this game from yesterday. I know how it was. Gearing in this game has been changing constantly. Nothing is permanent. It's MMO after all. Gearing will change in the future for sure. I'm also a solo orientated player, but i see what BW have in mind with the gearing. I get their point, and kinda agree with it.

Can you explain exactly how you are not allowed to own the 332 gear? Who exactly told you that you are not allowed to own that piece of gear?

Companions are fine. They are still incredible OP. You can semi-afk, watch TV with your head being on the TV and you will clear the whole story, no problem. This is MMORPG at the end of the day. Also i don't know an easier MMORPG out there, and more simplified than SWTOR. Combat should not be 1 click based. This ain't a simulator. The combat is bad, because the game is 10 year old, and it's Tab targeting. Also like it or not, you have an optimal rotation or so. Even for leveling, and to be fair except for soloing FPS and some Heroics, mobs has always been dying in a nick of second, unless you are using default attack only, which ain't a game fault, but yours. And btw i can't make mind of anyone. But plenty of friends don't want to touch this game, cause for them it's too damn easy. What you can tell anyone who ask when the game is going to become challenging in the story? Eh, uh, oh .... There is none. It's easy. SWTOR too easy, and see how many people hate the "easy" mode we are in it. I get people are different, but there is probably no easier MMORPG on the market than this. P.P. Playing arounds alts in 7.0 is definitely not a fun thing. Still people could argue that the game is not and should be build around that. I get your point tho.

You serious? SWTOR is always going to be worth playing, especially for new people. Just because you are sad, because 7.0 hit your personal agenda(obviously), that doesn't mean there aren't thousands of people that still enjoy the game, and saying the game is not worthy. Also in your previous post you say you love SWTOR, but reading you comments it's definitely not looking like that. What is obvious is that you are pissed, because of X reason, and just want the game to burn, yet you claim you love the game, yeah sure .... Strange love that is. 7.0 is not the whole game, it's just an expansion. I didn't like many of the previous changes/expansion, but was and always will recommend the game, as Story is one of the best(for me the best) in MMORPG history, and just that worth playing through all the classes. Also there is plenty to do if someone is a new or returning player outside of the story. Again 7.0 is bad, no doubt about that, but it's an expansion(i wouldn't even call it that, cause in reality it's not). Also advising anyone to cancel their subs, as you point out, just mean you want the game to DO bad, which totally contradict what you previous state.
