He wouldn't win if he was alone Alot of people just stopped playing this game when this stupid conquest system that punishes actual players (those who involved in group content of any kind) was implemented. This is MMO. If you can earn 50k conquest in 90 minutes while playing group content and 500k in the same amount of time playing solo, that's not just wrong. That's EXTREMELY wrong. That's catastrophe. I understand that this forum got extremely vocal and arrogant group of people who play solo and don't accept the right of any other playstyle to exist. But believe me guys, world isn't turning around you.

For god's sake, just make "Win Starfighter match" objective infinitely repeatable again. Alot of people just stopped playing when you took it from us. Add some infinitely repeatable objective for example "Starfighter: Medalist" for earning 8 medals in GSF match, similar to ground PvP. Speaking of that, "Warzone: Medalist" deserves some love. Currently it's worth less conquest than feeding companion with gifts or selling junk. Are you sure this is the way it should be? Are you REALLY sure? I'll come to PTS to check what you have done, ofc. But it doesn't look very promising ATM. Unless you completely remove each and every trash objective like completing planetary mission, heroics, selling junk, feeding companion, Conquest still will be trash. Change it back from login reward for casual players to something that is fun to participate in.

All i want is to return "win GSF match" conquest objective to the status of infinitely repeatable. That would solve the issue for me.

Groupfinder rewards are nothing, it's like 25 or 250 tech frags right? Just stop complaining and queue for content that you like.

That's nonsense. At least 75% of MM FPs can be soloed at IR 252 by decent player. You dont need IR 300 for group MM, it's overkill.

H4 on Ossus is soloable. Or at least it was in 5.10, a sorc in full 252 could solo it just fine. Now it should be even easier unless they tuned it up for some reason.

"I don't like huttball so i will not even try to win" isn't legitimate reason to leave. "I think there's premade of bad players in my team so ill leave" isn't either. With leaver penalty in place, BW gives you all a chance. A chance to stop being doom of this game, a chance to stop ruining other people's experience, and try to actually play for once. If everyone will actually try to win instead of leaving, writing nonsense in chat etc, it will be better for everyone. Or you always can leave and get your well deserved penalty. In the end, ppl who don't really want to win will just stop queuing. Aye maybe queues will be longer but the games will be better.

If you leave matches (reason doesn't really matter) then YOU are the problem. Tbh, i think that leaver penalty is the best thing ever happened to unranked. New system where losses don't count towards daily/weekly quests, however, is questionable at best. For example, i have character with Valor about 22 and only 1 win. Who even asked for this nonsense?

Well Hammer Station... I usually solo it under 17 minutes on dps juggernaut or dps powertech, bit slower on sorc. Good group for sure can clear it under 10 minutes or under 15 minutes for MM. Red Reaper - under 15 minutes normally, under 10 minutes in group of all stealthers. Cademimu, Athiss - both can be done under 15 minutes in vet mode (if you're lucky and your group doesn't pull every trash out there). Blood Hunt vet - about 20 minutes. The Battle of Ilum, The False Emperor - under 25 minutes. Nathema, - under 35 minutes. Copero without skips - up to hour. Umbara... It's probably easier to solo this one, i never had a good group for this FP. You can solo it in like 55-65 minutes in vet mode. Objective Meridian - about under 25 minutes in vet mode in group.

Just like in any other kind of PvP in any other game, there are toxic, weird or straight up insane people in GSF. They would find a way to abuse direct votekick by players immediately, the day and hour it will be implemented. However, self-destructors must be dealt with. What i want to suggest is system that would remove player from the match automatically if they have certain number of s/d, for example 5 in a row.

How about no? I actually enjoy that she speaks alot. If id want a silent companion id use rodian guy or any of CM droids.

1. GSF by far, pretty much the only thing that keeps me subscribed. 2. MM Uprisings and FPs 3. Unranked PvP 4. Soloing [Heroic] Star Fortress and veteran FPs. 5. Reading DK genchat while queued for something from the list above.

What's your issue? What's wrong with you?

Sometimes it's just impossible to revive. Example. Hammer Station. If you run it as it usually people do on Darth Malgus server, running through 2 big turrets instead of killing them, then the battle encounter still goes on after you kill final boss and revives do not work if someone dies on Kreshan or on the way to him. Solution: stop running through trash like that (that stays aggroed after you kill boss) without healer in group. Just kill it, it takes less than minute.

Great, now make Ranos obtainable again please. Yeah, yeah, i know you will not bring DvL back again, never. But in some other way, as sub reward or any other event? Please?

New maps for GSF, new ships for GSF, balance freaking strike ships.

Anyway keep your advices to yourself. Or better, stay silent. We already have heard how much you and your guild are enjoying the braindead protorp meta. We don't really need 100500 threads discussing pretty much same things so i guess ill continue here. Also, complaining about protorp is relevant to this thread bc any other secondary weapon component is trash-tier useless in comparison.

Let's talk sabotage probe yet again. This thing could be decent, but it have so long lock on time it's actually useless unless combined with EMP field on T1 scout. When flying T2 with sabo probe, you will be shot 10 times out of 11 while you're trying to land it. Maybe needs increased range? Dunno really. Ion missile - pretty much what Verain said. Munitions extender - i use it on my piledriver sometimes, 20 cluster missiles is simply not enough unless im flying in premade with someone with reloads. But there are more useful options for sure. Needs buff. Now about components that deserve a nerf. Proton torpedoes in it's current state are "press X to win". Even a blind deaf comatose lobotomy patient can score 15-20 kills in strike ship or T3 bomber with protorps. Removed DoT or increased lock time would be nice. Remote slicing is decent tool against premades, gunship walls, and even bomber nests to some degree. But it's short cooldown makes it a bit overpowered in casual dogfights. Add 5-6 seconds to CD and it will be nice.

In my opinion actual ace is someone who can perform well even in not optimal builds, and most importantly carry the team. Someone who can turn the tide alone. Lol, i had first two already. So, if someone whispers weird lewd things to me after match, they consider me an ace?

You know what BW? You suck. Are you killing your own playerbase intentionally? Unranked is even less worthy to play than before. 10/10, god, 10/10. Your players are not receiving rewards for GSF and that during GSF week, your servers are lagging because of influx of steam players and poor support, but instead of creating australian/asian server and fixing what's really needs to be done you were working on Nightlife event nobody cares about and on punishing your own players again, this time it's unnecessary unranked nonsense. Good job.

That's exactly what op and me are trying to tell. Forcing me to do some nonsense story or planetary heroics - and devs call it "play your way"? I feel like i was deceived. Taking away my infinitely repeatable GSF and PvP objective? I feel punished. Current conquest system favours only one play style above everything else and is nowhere near "play your way".

The GM and lead officer of my home guild on DM server both stopped playing after new conquest system was implemented. It is (was?) nice friendly international community of chill people dedicated to GSF progression/training. Since then i dont really have a company to fly with anymore.

Chill out, OP. There's no reason to participate in conquest (or staying subbed either) anymore. Since last update, Conquest isnt unique to SWTOR endgame mechanic for dedicated players. It has degraded to "rewards for logging in for casual players" level. Developers also made it pretty clear that there will be no changes to Conquest that will make any sense for people who actually play content. In fact people who play content are unwelcomed in this game. Be it PvE, PvP or GSF. The only type of players that are welcome now are the ones who enjoy the most to watch cutscenes, feed companion, place decos and make their companions solo some planetary heroics for them while they have some tea. Doing MM Uprising gives less conq points than feeding companion with 2-3 gifts. This game is officially dead to me. I mean, this is a good thread and ideas you brought are good and actually make sense. But again, BW made it clear. They don't want to see people who are actually playing their game. They punish people who actually play the game. You aren't important to BW. I am not important to BW. Our opinions aren't important. The only category of players whom opinions are important are cutscene watchers and other ppl who are returning to the game for 1 month when there's new story piece. Stop flighting with windmills. Let that sink in. If you want to change something, vote with your credit card. Stop your subscription and uninstall SWTOR (that is what i gonna do when my remaining 2 weeks will run out). Maybe, MAYBE, if enough people will do it, devs will change their behaviour to less self-destructive... Or not.

So i decided to get achievement "The One and Only" for my legacy on Darth Malgus server, i already had one on Star Forge but that was done in 5.10. The setup was following: Level 75 sorcerer (madness spec) in 306 gear The Victor set bonus with tier 73 augments Slow Mercy tactical for trash Life Warden tactical for Exarch Companion of choice - lvl 45 Paxton. SF - Alderaan. Entire way to Exarch was relatively easy and fast, faster than i remembered from before 6.0. Exarch, however, killed me. In second attempt i switched tactical to Life Warden, used command stim and used Heroic Moment in final third of the fight. Conclusion: Star Fortress is absolutely soloable even without max tier augments, buffs, Alliance artifacts and max lvl companion. Maybe sorcerer isn't that relevant as it's a bit overpowered now. Maybe i should run on different class. But for Madness sorcerer Star Fortress is easily soloable.

It's already easily soloable. In fact, Star Fortress now is easier to solo than even Hammer Station VM. L2p. /thread
