  1. Understood... but also consider that this is probably limited to the time in which we are being given bonus XP. NOT the result of the new conquest system.

     

    Not so sure about that. I've levelled all my toons with the WAM since it was implemented, and this is noticeably faster. The WAM disables 12x story XP and double XP, I checked that by clicking it on/off when I had missions to turn in. I levelled my merc in February and it felt normal, but just half a planet each on my Sin and Mara today was quite the eye-opener.

  2. Just played a lowbie for the first time since the conquest changes came in, and I'm inclined to agree with the OP. The WAM mitigates the mission and story XP, but throw in the conquest XP and the WAM gets overwhelmed. Just did the second and third zones of Nar Shaddaa, gained 3 levels doing a total of maybe 5 or 6 missions (didn't count exactly).

     

    All I can see from the OP is a request that the spirit in which BioWare implemented the White Acute Module isn't being respected by the new conquest system and a slight modification is required. The WAM was intended to reinstate the traditional level experience by suppressing the additional XP from events and the 12x for class story missions. The intent is still there but the method is no longer adequate given the new sources of XP.

  3. Have done this mission at least 5 or 6 times in the last couple of months, levelling alts and having great fun with guild group doing this set of missions together, but tonight was the first time since 6.1.1 that we've tried it and the droid in the shielded control area refuses to reset or do it's thing.

     

    Prior to Tuesday's patch you could move away to a distance then go back and all would proceed as normal, or in extreme cases reset the phase and it would work then. Tonight we tried all of that multiple times, disbanded and reformed the group, changed lead, none of which worked. The mission just would not progress.

     

    Anyone else run into this?

  4. It's definitely getting beyond a joke on DM right now. Never the same name twice, almost as if they're creating a new alt every time to get around the report function and then just hammering themself into the spawn point capital ship time after time after time.

     

    31 self-inflicted deaths with zero damage done or taken, no kills, assists or anything other than a game-ruining death tally. There should be an auto-remove function for GSF, if you die 5 times in a row to something other than enemy action, you get booted from the match. Something like that anyway.

  5. Inclined to agree with the OP. Heartily sick of those places and will happily nope out on any character that gets slotted into one, especially if it''s on my healer and I find one of those godawful tanks in DPS gear that seem to proliferate right now.

     

    They'll always claim that "it's fine, we finished", but without acknowledging the fact that they just made the healer work 3 or 4 times as hard as a properly geared tank would and killed the fun. Suffered through Operation Meridian with just such a skank tank, couldn't kill the final boss because so help me we had a sentinel and scoundrel who would run away from the boss when the damage they were taking became too much to handle with all my attention focused on the "tank".

     

    Some people are putting their own convenience over other people's enjoyment of the game. It's the same selfishness encapsulated in the idea that they have a "right" to play how they want. Normal standards of consideration and behaviour don't get left at the door when you cough up a subscription. Your money does not buy my acquiescence in your crapulence.

  6. Only time I had trouble healing Rishi MM final boss was with a VG tank who'd taken the "get to irating 306 first and then worry about stats" a bit too literally, and had a shield chance in the mid to high 20s with absorb around 55%. He was spiky as hell to heal and if the RNG decided to throw some hate around, he went down fast.

     

    Pointed out to him that Energy Blast gives another 30% extra absorb too but 80% absorb didn't mean anything when he only shielded around 1 in 4 :( Poor bloke then went to fleet, spent all his frags on random enhancements and got hosed with absorb ones by the RNG again.

  7. Getting enemies of random levels in story instances, Veteran Mode, KotFE. Just came back to the game after 4 years so was originally thinking I was just rusty and playing poorly, then noticed I had a bunch of 68/69/70 mobs in a personal phase at level 61 last night and still just now at 65. Nice to get utterly demolished by a mob 5-9 levels above me in content that's supposed to scale to my level......
  8. Seems I will stick to ToFN then, at least there nobody asks me anything thanks to my legendary player status (not that it means anything, theres loads of idiotic legendary players but most people think its some sign of a pro lol).

     

    At 90 cc for a character transfer, might be worth moving a toon across from TOFN to TRE just to copy your achieves over. I ran into the same problem starting out on TRE, but the first time I suggested the Raid Leader roll a toon on Shadowlands and speak to me on the character of the exact same name as the TRE version and I'd link the achieve. On that the RL said they'd take my word for it and the raid, a pre-3.0 DP HM went smooth as silk.
