This is false. I don't spam HS, however BW has already given you the choice to get rid of it by unchecking it, or giving you the choice to leave and wait out the 15 min timer. You also have the choice of just doing it and getting your daily reward for it being random for you.
And if those aren't good choices for you personally, then others have given you the best option possible. Make a group of 4 people and do a random FP that way.
It's called Group Finder, I shouldn't have to find a group myself to use the system as designed. People are exploiting the system by only selecting Hammer Station. They should require at least 3 things to be selected because it is no longer a group finder, it is a HS finder.
I have left groups, ignored, etc. It takes me almost 3 hours to get a group within GF that doesn't do HS just to finish a daily that should take an hour at the most.
Again, I am not going to use GF if I do not get daily.

Epic Games is run by Tencent, so no thanks. What are you giving up for that "free" game?
-
It's quite clear, the only ones who are opposed to this are the very people who spam HS.
BioWare needs to fix this. I think the best solution is, as I have stated, to put the flashpoints on a rotating queue.
Why? A lot of people say to just "untick" HS, but no bonus.
This also prevents people from spamming HS.

This is exactly what i was afraid of. Ive been away for 1 1/2 to 2 years so although there might not be a huge huge amount of content to catch up on its the changes to gearing i need to read up on. Dulfy used to cover all the changes but she’s been awol a while now from my understanding so its the balance of the game, stats etc i need to catch up on. There were no set bonuses last I played, they’d been removed. Tacticals is a new thing and this passive bonus on armour and weapons to bonus exp for e.g. is all new.
How do you mean ‘using alts is broken’? Is it a case now that its 1 set of DPS gear that if you stick in legacy gear you use that on all your chars from a dps assassin to a dps gunslinger?
How are operations and the dummies broken if you dont mind me asking?
Don’t mean to seem like its stupid questions, just keen to catch up with the state of things.
It's already mentioned, but dummies are broken because of the stat clipping. Visiting different areas and calculating won't work, because the stats are silently updated every update for some reason. One day your power will be clipped to 3500, the next 3900. That's basically what I meant. Operations are broken, tons of bugs plague most of them, just check the Bug Reports section. As far as alts go, the gear system still makes it difficult to gear alts without grinding for months. Granted, the legacy gear does help but it assumes a "one size fits all".
You basically just need to create a gear that's "good enough" for both raids and pvp. I use https://www.charplanner.com/ and it helped make sense of this mess. My gear isn't as optimal as it could be, but if I spent anymore time on making the best gear I'd lose my mind. I don't even bother with amplifiers.

The only leveling path you need to know is how to use Group Finder to queue for random flashpoints. By random, I of course mean HS. Enjoy the mindless grind!
Edit: Don't forget to use XP boosts and unlock all the FP exp in the Character legacy window. Everything stacks you can get up to something like 8 or 9x.

There is no information on theory crafting anymore because the developers have no sense of direction on where they want combat to be in this game. First, it was them debating removing augments because it didn't balance PvP and made PvE too easy, then they decided to remove expertise entirely, the whole mastery/power rework, gearing nightmare since crystals which were supposed to be "fixed" with Command Crates, and now completely backtracking and doing the whole tacticals thing which makes gearing even more confusing. It's just too much, and there is no point in using an alt.
Let's not forget that target dummies are completely broken along with most Operations (why do you think the GF queue for it never "works"? No one will queue for broken content)

How are you able to control the beast without a collar though?

I'm seeing a LOT of people to tell me and others to just "untick HS", but they fail to demonstrate any reading comprehension at all. I clearly state that I want the rewards you're entitled to for doing a daily flashpoint. It is NOT a daily flashpoint if every single day that I queue I am doing Hammer station. To all those saying to ignore the spammers, thank you so much I've done that, and today I finally did not get a queue pop for Hammer Station.
It is quite ridiculous that the ONLY way I could not get a queue pop for HS was to literally ignore people.
I'm honestly surprised that people are considering this to be "eating a cake". It is not a random queue if I get HS every. single. time. At this point, how is that any different than a daily reward for only queuing for HS? Because, even if you got other flashpoints ticked, you will ONLY be getting an HS pop. That's like a baker offering a random flavored cake and he gives you vanilla every single time.

What's the point in paying $15/mo when the only thing people are grouping for is Hammer Station? I don't want to mindlessly do the same FP over and over again. These are the same people who are crying for more content too, yet they won't even think about doing any other flashpoint.
I've been subscribed for a long time, but this meta is now:
1. Join the queue for Hammer Station once level 20ish
2. Play Hammer Station until 75
3. Play Hammer Station until Master/Vet quests completed
4. Do dailies while in the queue for Hammer Station
5. Do hammer station until renown 300. Edit: oops, but point still stands
It's honestly disgusting. I should not be punished for not being able to finish my GF dailies because I removed Hammer Station from the instances. Allow us to either:
1. Exclude up to 2 FP's from GF and still get daily (or just 1..., any more and it will dramatically increase already long q times)
2. Put 5 FP's on an hour rotation, or even 30 mins rotation. Similar to how it works for Ops.

I'm done with NS, every year since it came out I have been trying for the mount and all I get is the Unlucky title... I didn't even want it I just wanted the rancor... Still to this day I don't have it.
-
Let us remember: These are the same exact people who cry for more content but continously farm only one instance. I'm tired of doing hammer station, and their "skills" make the garbage look appetizing.
-
Sad. So many trolls in this thread.
-
Awesome! When can we expect some love in the South-East? While I appreciate these events, they're always held in the same area. Florida is a major Star Wars Hub so you guys should at least be there especially next week. Poor planning.
-
lmao game isnt even 64-bit so these threads are funny
you can buy a toaster today and play on max settings
also the fact that it's still 64 bit is insane when every major place is making 64 now a requirement.
-
Why is there such a need to force a set of views on others playing this or any other game?
Except no one is forcing you to. The option would be there if you wanted to. Right now it's not, and as such BW is actually pushing people to only choose between two binary choices, so your argument is actually reversed. Gender is not binary.
There are many more flaws in your questions but other people have already brought them to light. Not going to beat a dog when they're already down.
-
This is unacceptable. I was going to finish grinding out through the chapters again and now I cannot. I can't believe I pay $15 a month to wait. There is a set schedule for these kind of things and you guys should stick to it. This will only further divide the players.

Every trailer on TV that has come out for SWTOR had more money thrown into it than the actual game. I'll pass. Just take a look at the release trailers and tell me what they spent more money on.

People bought warzone passes? Just queue with a sub lol.

But we aren't representing ALL people now are we? Such a thing is impossible. Unless of course you are just talking about your select group of "special" people, which itself opens up a big can of worms.
And what good is a representative if they are just a token one-dimension waste of time and space that are just insulting to the people they are supposed to be representing?
I still haven't seen anyone in this thread come up with a real explanation of HOW this could be done without just being obnoxious about it.
The devil is in the details.
Where did you get the word special from ? You are saying that people being represented is a waste of time and space, yet somehow insulting at the same time ? What's insulting is NOT seeing representation, hence the entire point of this thread from what anyone can garner (even yourself it seems ?)There are some good educational materials to find online too about the subject and BioWare would need to read up (if they haven't or don't know someone keen on the subject) in order to it the best way that brings a good story to the game and furthers the inclusiveness of the Star Wars world.

Wow so much NEGATIVITY in this thread. Let's just remember that the developers are working for us, they learned from the backlash of 5.0, and we will see this new system on PTS then we will judge.
SWG died a long time ago for this game, so as much as Il ove to remember as much as the next person it's not coming back. SWTOR is what we have, and we need to make sure the devs are on TRACK to IMPROVE the game. I've been here since before day 1 (NDA beta player), and the game has changed a lot since then.
People said "No way will this game ever go F2P", "This won't be a game where there are 20 people smacking a boss just to collect a token", "Every story will be unique and you can influence each direction of your path", "TORTanic, will fail faster than SWG ever could with NGE".
And you know what happened? I don't think I have to say for myself you already know as been witnessed in this thread. EA needs this game for their quarterly reports (i'm business & CS major I've done case analisis on these studies, EA in particular) so they won't do ANTHEM level EA fail.
This game is BioWare's baby. The BioWare that first made this game is gone when Star Wars was aquired by EA and the game changed rapidly over the course of the acquisition right before release. And we all seen it !
EA and BioWare needs this game to succeed now more than ever and luckily for them, game has YEARS of failures and successes that they can work on with a new direction it WILL happen. We as PLAYERS just need to give them TIME.

They won't put it on PTS, because then people will realize it's just GC rebranded.
Or they'll put it out with great drop rates, then quickly nerf it to the ground to where GC is seen as a beloved angel.
They did the same thing back when GC was on PTS so I see no reason they don't follow the same rules with 6.0.

Uh if you're talking about a game getting lots of love, I think you've mistaken SWTOR for ESO or FFXIV... because if you take a look at the SWTOR update history, I think it shows quite the opposite. This is objectively one of the least updated modern and active MMOs on the market bud.
Before SWTOR, I played SWG from 2004-2011 when it shut down, so I was mostly used to making my own content since that's the type of game SWG was, which I loved (It wasn't really until Rage of the Wookies and Trials of Obi-Wan that SWG got actual story content updates). Anyway, I've been here with SWTOR since the website and forums opened. If you look, I was the 6389th person to join the forums out of however many millions now. That doesn't mean anything on it's own I know, but I'm just trying to say I've literally been here and active since THE beginning with an active sub from launch to present day.
I say all that to say this: It wasn't until very recently (last few months) when I dove into ESO that I understood what ACTUAL content updates on a regular basis really are. There's a reason why ESO is one of the top MMOs going right now and SWTOR is nowhere close. It's because Zenimax is working their asses off pushing out compelling and thoughtful content while EAWare is going years without the amount of content to match even one ESO DLC (not even expansion... just DLC...). As I've said, I've been a loyal defender of SWTOR for years and years, but honestly, EAWare should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves with how bad other MMO companies with IPs that aren't even 25% as interesting or rich as Star Wars are wiping the floor with them.
TLDR: The phrase "is getting lots of love" and "SWTOR" are like water and oil.
I've played SWG and my user rank is way lower than yours at 362344. What are you? 600k something lol?. Not sure the point you are making but OK. I've been here since the beginning too bud, almost double the users before you. Were you even in the NDA beta?

I miss the good ol' days, when we were simple people, and we were just happy to have a protagonist and a plot, and some twists and betrayals...
Now we're deliberating over what gender they need to be, or don't need to be.
Have we gone too far?
Representing ALL PEOPLE is NOT too far

There is no pvp gear planned, bioware seems to ignore us PvPers and just throws a bone of season rewards or a new map every 3 years. PvP was ignored, but them removing expertise showed TRUE colors to the community.
Where did you get the word special from ? You are saying that people being represented is a waste of time and space, yet somehow insulting at the same time ?
Onderon Horizon Razor STILL bugged along with Emporer slot machines
