I'm sorry but this answer is unacceptable especially when you tie unlocking a companion to an event that occurs once a month. How about you change the companion unlock so it doesn't require an event that could go wrong? The sorry there is nothing we can do answer just isn't working for me, especially when you are hindering my progress. Seriously, get it together because this is the wrong answer to the problem.

We will find out we were the emperor all along Those who disagreed with your choices will betray you and start a new rebellion to fight the "Alliance\New Empire" and the circle begins again. I know...I'm reaching

I understand the companions were a little overpowered but others have made valid points about the way companions heal and it needs to be addressed. The thing that is really bugging me is you are forcing us into this huge, BORING heroic grind and you want it to be harder. You guys didn't really add anything to the game outside of the story. Instead, you forced people to do quests that most of us never wanted to do in the first place. Making the companions less effective is just making this more boring. I was excited going through the story and waiting to see what was next. I am at the end and grinding through heroics, camping mobs for companions, knowing I will never do the star fortress because I need a group, now dealing with the nerfs making the heroic grind longer. I am having a hard time staying engaged with the game. Each day I have to fight to log on because I really don't want to grind. IT IS FLAT OUT BORING!!!

agreed

I am aware. The problem with not doing Qyzen Fess' quest, I never get the alert for Dr. Lokin. Basically, I have to recruit him if I want Dr. Lokin.

I find having to PVP to get a companion is ridiculous. Now the true pvpers will have to suffer while I join the warzones and be of no use to them. I apologize to them in advance because they are the ones truly suffering. Second, I was annoyed I had to do Qyzen Fess Companion quest to even get the alert for Dr. Lokin. What if I did not want Qyzen Fess as a companion?? Honestly I didn't on this particular character but I wanted Dr. Lokin. I should never have to recruit one companion to get another. The story was great but obtaining companions through PVP or having another companion be a requirement is RIDICULOUS. I don't play this game to PVP and it should be my choice who I recruit into the alliance.

I am adding this to the suggestion box as well because this is bananas when my "choices" should matter.

I am pretty annoyed about the handling of this situation. I even have an email stating I subbed on August 10th and still no early access or rewards.

Glad to see I am not the only one missing my rewards and early access. It is annoying when they spent their marketing campaign to get more subs with early access and fail to deliver on the promises.

Bioware just keeps getting worse and worse with the warzones. Why are they forcing us into Arenas? The queues should have been separated. Now on top of Huttball, I have to start leaving arenas. I wish they would allow us the ability to pick the warzone we want to play. It is bad enough when you are in a 6 vs 8 game, but dealing with 3 vs 4 is probably worse.

It is soooo annoying that Bioware hasn't implemented the simplest fix. All they need to do is add an immunity to stun for 8 secs after using your get out of stun ability. Let's be serious...if we wait for the resolve bar, chances are we are going to be dead. Then your resolve bar goes down while you wait behind the respawn barrier and it happens again. Most MMOs have this implemented into their game...this isn't anything new. Instead of nerfing the stuns or classes fix the defense abilities against it.

I will be totally against this idea until they allow us to choose which warzone I can avoid. I HATE Huttball and I leave every time it pops soooo I don't want to be penalized for something that is out of my control. If I am forced into playing Huttball, I will AFK and I WILL trick the kick system by getting into combat every couple of minutes....so yeah this idea is not a good one. Rift allows you to pick the battleground you want to play in so the idea works there. It will not work here the same way.

OP, I agree with most of your points. My biggest pet peeve is the resolve system. I have stun locked and been stun locked to death. The simple solution is add a immunity timer of 6-8 seconds on the cc breaker ability. I should not have to wait until my resolve bar is close to full before using my cc breaker. I should not be cc'd immediately after using my cc breaker. I don't understand why this has not been implemented by now. It has been years since I have played World of Warcraft but they had this in place. Rift has this in place. Also last time I checked, Leg shot which immobilizes a character was not even considered cc. Lastly, Cross server PVE and PVP should have been implemented at launch or a month or two after. Many people were against this option being added but it should have been added anyway. The ability to get pve and pvp queue pops in seconds is a win in my opinion.

I have a few questions\issues with the afk system being implemented. 1. I would like to know if people can vote you out of a warzone without you being idle. It would get annoying if a premade decided to vote undergeared players in hopes to get someone better. 2. I would also like to know if you are addressing the in progress Huttball problem. I have experienced on many times entering a Huttball game in progress and getting stuck behind the force field and being removed from the game. I will be VERY ANNOYED if I am removed from a game and received a debuff that would keep me from rejoining a game because of YOUR game mechanics. 3. I personally do not like Huttball and I leave before the game gets started. Will I receive a debuff? If so, I do not agree with this new afk system. I would like the option to OPT OUT OF HUTTBALL and not be forced to play it so I do not get a debuff. Lastly, if the AFK system is not done properly then sadly I will cancel. I am all for implementing a system for AFKers, but the above situations need to be addressed in the system.

Yes please add cross servers. If you play off hours, you can get decent queue times and something other than HUTTBALL. I hate the idea people think it will ruin the server community. I personally think fighting my own faction in huttball is ruining the server community. I have been so annoyed with people and I am disgusted when the next round comes along, they are on my team..LOL Just my opinion...
