THIS!! And maybe a hat that didn’t inflict bald on my non bald toons, that would be great

Adding two more things to this as well: 1. as far as companions go, Altuur is by far the best companion to have for his ability to slow targets down and boost their damage taken he’s been indispensable for me when I run this and his heals are decent enough for me to just swap him from dps to heals for this. 2. I looked at a video completing the championship from seven years ago. The person used a heroic moment and it melted the adds and the first boss with just two heroic moment attacks, AND the boss had less health than they do now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXC7gWnfE8&t=114s&pp=2AFykAIB I want to just reiterate I run this often for fun and I’m not asking that anything get nerfed! I’m not saying “wehhh too hard wehh” bc it’s not, at least for me anyways! But still it’s falling on deaf ears that something with the balance is out of wack and I can also point to uprisings as another victim of this. Just like how the Championship bumps you down to lvl 65, Story mode uprisings make you lvl 75 and stuff hits you way harder than it should. It’s a joke among me and other uprising runners that you don’t run SM unless you have a group. And if you wanna good time solo-ing them, you run vet mode for a better chance at beating it bc it leaves you at lvl 80. it’s not a bad thing to admit the game has a problem with balance and level sync to this degree… some people can work around it and that’s great for them but it’s a sign of a bad product when a company (BioSword) just relies on that and doesn’t take the time to fix their old content to better suit the new gear/meta/etc. It’s not simply a “skill issue”. TL;DR I am NOT saying it’s too hard, but that something does feel off like here parts of the game.

I’ve used hatred, rage/vengance, and pt. Granted I’m a tank main first and foremost but I know the DPS classes for my tanks as well.

Genuine question, how did you know you got it if it was the second time? I’m asking because it’s that exact achievement that I’ve been struggling with and I’m not exactly the lowest denominator when it comes to this game’s harder content. I’m not saying I’m a top parser or anything but fairly good at my classes, not sandbagging my nim prog groups or anything like that . Neither myself nor OP struggle with the mission itself, but what we’re saying is things feel out of balance to the current patch. I remember (post 7.0) looking for tutorials and runs on how to get “sprint champion” and iirc in one they used to be able to one shot the first boss’s adds with heroic moment. Now it does no where near as much damage to take out the adds for you. I think this was back when the championship came out too or just after. I’ll check once I’m out work but it’s the balancing that’s the issue not us going “weh weh this is 2 hard”

Spot on with these!!!!

Agreed 100% BW/BS could have had something great with a boss rush type mission but the current tuning is atrocious say the least.

Iokath. I have beef with the gods op. Just going there to do weeklies I feel the joy sap out of my body. The bug that turns off my sprint when I leave the planet makes me sad. The idea was cool but the music constantly playing and the environment looking like that just makes it for a stressful time.

From the VULKK guide for the sprint champion cheevo: “Survived all ten rounds of Mayhem at the Arena Grand without the aid of a group and under 15 minutes.” which is what I thought was the case. Solo+ won’t help me and I imagine plenty of other folks who want the specific achievements, I can run it just fine solo myself. This sprint champion achievement is going to be my white whale… if it helps folks who just want to run it for GS, or something though, i can see the Solo+ being an option.

lite necro-ing this because I am so super frustrated with the eternal championship. I have run it countless times, chasing that sprint champion cheevo/legacy title as it's the last one I'm missing on my achievements for it and I am by no means a noob, I run plenty of HM/Vet stuff frequently and am in a prog team for hardmares and nim. I play with my companion on dps or no companion at all. Heck, when I do the eternal championship, I run it with a dps companion on all the enemies except the darn "make you dead" guy and his two beasts. And still having trouble getting this one achievement done. Legitimately I feel I might have gotten it by now if the timer didn't account for the blabbermouth of an announcer person... the fact that that alone takes about 6 min of the 15 min needed is beyond brutal. Now, I know that fixing this is not a priority for the game right now, but I'd love wish for sometime down the line they can go in and idk if re-tune the bosses or make it so the timer doesn't count when the announcer is making their monologues that go on and on and on and on.... I am one of the weirdos who actually enjoys the mission, and I'd love more boss rush like missions like this! Plus t there's always that rancor mount I want too as an incentive to keep running it (had it drop on a toon i didn't want it on, cursed bind on pick up ). Just something I'd like to see given a bit of love... of course after the bigger and more important things get fixed

I had a bit of a glitch too, the dye matching doesn't correspond to most if not the entire fit. A little sad that it didn't look coordinated in the cutscene tbh

This!! Or at least scale down smaller guilds to reach “large yield” but at a smaller amount. Once a guild starts regularly reaching the 5 mil mark consistently they can be considered a larger guild… or something to that effect, ya know?? (before ppl come at me with how this can be exploited somehow or that coding this would be a mess yadda yadda I am fully aware, this is just me having wishful thinking after this bombshell of a disappointment we were given)

I’m out of reactions for the day but this right here hurts the most. Me and another same faction guild I’m friends with are now having talks about merging just to be able to make cq again. This feels like a punishment because we’re not one of the mega guilds.

This so much, I slogged through iokath and the rail shooter rep quests, hated every minute of it but at least had a lil extra cq reward for doing them. I feel bad for the ppl who who were in the process of doing this 😔

And here I was hyped for the date nights at least but this news blew the wind out of my sails real quick

So screw us small guilds then, got it.

See I wouldn’t have minded if they changed it to be like infinitely repeatable or something with 7-8 k cq points but myself and a lot of gms of smaller guilds used that daily repeatable mission to hit our goals and keep our heads afloat in cq… if intentional this will negatively affect smaller cq guilds .

They said they were gonna roll out more in future updates re: date nights with older LIs, we just gotta wait our turn

Definitely not just a “girly” thing, can confirm. I’m as dude as dude can get and am so super stoked to be going on date nights my LIs. (once the Khem date night is released it’s so over for me…)

an update: looks like it's been partially fixed! It no longer stretches the middle loincloth thingy like a skirt when the legs are apart though it does appear a little stuck still on the thigh area, this is an improvement..... until we look at it from the side while moving now the side cloth that drapes is stuck to the legs like pants, they didn't used to do this and would flow freely. Still it's visually more acceptable than the previous bug, and I would love if they continued fixing not just this one, but other glitchy cartel market outfits as well!

Those videos may be the person’s own opinion because in end game, PT and Sin tanks get asked for more than Juggs because of their uses and mobility, at least in my experience. But all tanks are viable in this game imo, play what you want and learn the little tips and tricks that come with the tank of your choosing.

Is there any way those of us saboteurs who were affected by the bug to be able to re-do the missions to make the proper choices to keep saboteur-ing? also they ALMOST had it right by letting us have hair AND a hat 😭 I don’t wanna be bald

It looks like there won’t be a chance for us to redo the scenes if we passed them 😟 this is an real bummer

Seconding this, my saboteur is also at the last convo since I decided to pause progress on his story once I found out things were borked. Hoping we were going to get a reset like they did with the Voss retreat area 😭

This was an issue with me too, it took a couple minutes for me to get from my ship into my next story location.

There was a graphical glitch I’ve seen on some enemies in oricon, and a couple times when I play my sith pb on the PTS where they have jet black skin, and I think that’s a canon tone the species can have as well? It would look awesome to have some s different skin tones (some more purple, some more red), darker and lighter (I can already picture a high femme pink sith pb and I wants it!!!) As well as the hairstyles that sith pb have that other species like Chiss, mirialans, and humans have. more jewelry options… ridge varieties on their chest/back/arms… ridge intensity… I could keep going. I just really love this species s much I’d be happy if we had more varieties to choose from with them
