This game is designed now to speed run to max level. If I were to play all quests and enable exploration missions, I would hit level 80 before finishing the vanilla story. In 6.0, this character would earn SOMETHING while playing the game that Bioware gave them. Now, in 7.0, I'm still rushed to max level while I play the game that that was given to me but there is no reward. 7.0 only rewards people who are at end game (which I have no problem with) but there needs to be something to reward max level characters who are still lagging behind in story. You can call it Renown or Command or something similar.

Galactic Seasons was created to replace subscription rewards. I'm just going to assume (without evidence) that eventually all of the items made available for a Galactic Season will eventually be made available for Galactic Tokens in later seasons. The entire premise of the concept falls apart if this doesn't become true.

How about a middle ground: the Heroic still gives the companion but solo mode gives the decoration?

I agree! Nice hairstyle that I would love to see implemented.

Just wanted to add for clarification re:Bonus Series. Pre-7.0, they WERE bugged in that they did reset daily. 7.0 only made the bug part of the game design.

Good post.

I currently can't claim the level 29 Galactic Seasons reward because it will put me over the cap for Medals of Commendation. However, i can't spend any Medals because I only have 3 Aquatic Resource Matrices and need 60 to upgrade my 320s. Since I'm not playing to gear, I have no idea how long it's going to take me to finally spend my Medals of Commendation. So I now have no idea when I'm going to be able to claim this reward. This is a poor design choice.

So, anyway, i was just proposing that bioware gave us a new ****** quest to explain things, but, well, whatever.

by the way, i never claimed to need 320.

Funny, based upon the forums and Reddit threads, I;m gona mad disagree about Kotfe 15

My point.

6.0 I earned gear from play 7.0 I have to go buy gear to start process of getting better gear. there is nothing in gameplay to tell you that you will no longer get better gear even though better gear is available. If you're not at endgame at post level 75, you don't earn any equipment that covers 306-320.

Seriously, is there really not an in-game tutorial to let players know what the heck is going on with new gearing? I hit level 80 whilst running KOTFE. I knew from the forums and reddit that I needed to go to fleet to buy a set of 320 gear (the game told me nothing) and now I'm having to figure out which of the various currencies I'm earning I actually need to get the gear that I need (thanks forum and reddit for answering the questions for me). I'm still a bit confused but I don't understand why everything I do know, I had to get from third party providers.

does this actually work anymore? As of last year I'm not able to do that anymore and my graphics have suffered because of that.

NOT AT ALL! We're all good!

deleted because I misread original post.

Let me get this straight: Casual players complain on PTS that not having BIS makes their gameplay more difficult and less fun. Raiders say it doesn't matter because you don't need BIS to play vanilla casually. 7.0 drops and casual players have been nerfed and need BIS to play aspects of vanilla game. Raiders say you need to learn to play. I'm not a raider, I'm a casual player and, unlike what the strawman that a certain commenter has created, i don't only use my basic attack. I have a rotation (sorry if it's not THE rotation) but I have found some things more difficult than they were in the past. I don't enjoy the new drag it takes for me to complete certain achievements (I think a lot of the issues have to do with heroics that are part of the planetary bonus series that back in the day were scaled for higher level characters and the new scaling is screwing that up)

This workaround does not work at all (at least for me).

Completing "Dreams of Korriban" is also rewarding Hunter Battler Leggings which is just an empty box.

Outside of the fact that I can't see what's selected on the new Skill Tree, I really have no opinion one way or another (except for the bugs.) I truly don't understand the visceral reaction to it.

Just a heads up that the Hunter Battler Jacket from Hutta that the Bounty Hunter is rewarded at quest completion after finding Braeden dead has no artwork on the thumbnail. When equipped, the chest piece icon has a green border highlight but appears as if there is nothing equipped there otherwise.

wrong thread

This has been brought up multiple times in the past and I agree full heartedly. But I will say this before Steve The Cynic gets in: make sure it's optional.

wow, that was intense.
