Vesperascit Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Stop doing things that your companion doesn't like. You can make up the difference with Companion gifts. A couple professions give them as rewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acheros Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 companions, i've noticed, are pretty easy to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple professions give them as rewards Lets see here. I've done things my companion hates a hundred times or so. 90 of those got me a -1. 4 of them got me a -219. 6 of them got me -42. (rough estimate on the -1's. probably alot more tbh.) Thats just..ridiculous numbers. I don't mind frustrating companions, but -219 is just..nuts.

hace Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If it's such a huge issue, escape out of the conversation and swap to a different companion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell do you get -219, the max i've ever gotten is -40, and i have never let my Companion determine the response i do in a convo and i'm still growing affection without giving gifts....

Ikkio Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I haven't seen a -219 yet, something to look forward to I guess. Companions are pretty easy to predict as mentioned, just send one off to get a companion gift as a task and away you go. Light sided companions are easier to manage that dark sided ones. I love how dark side companions don't like it when you make dark side decisions, Mako, I'm looking at you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyguy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 i have never gotten a -219 but maybe a -100 a few times but i can predict what all my companions will like and what they wont liek because im sith usually companions like it when you do evil.. so i do evil and they like it so im guessing that since your republic im gussing u do good and they will like it and according to there tone when they talk you can tell if they are good or evil as well...

SodaOfYoda Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Treasure Hunting, Diplomacy, Investigation all give gift missions. I agree -219 is a huge number. Haven't even come close to any loss that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calidusc Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If it's such a huge issue, escape out of the conversation and swap to a different companion? Exactly what I do with mine. I like to explore the dialogue options, and sometimes I find hidden bonuses (extra credits, an additional response resulting in DS/LS points) and that sort of thing. And of course some of my agent's replies are downright hilarious and I might've missed them otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerda Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like my current pet because I can be evil and most of the time he doesn't object. However my other half loses points all the time to his companion as she doens't seem to accept that he is a bounty hunter who kills people. He has to buy her lots of gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think the most I lost was 160 to Khem. he really doesn't like it when you let people go instead of killing them.... but yeah, I seem to be gaining affection at steady rate anyways and I only gave him one gift so far. incidentally, there's also a gift vendor on the fleet.

Elgarr Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Well try appologising for your companions loss, khem hated it. He would have prefered I told him to grow some and killllll Edited January 3, 2012 by Elgarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eysaathe Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 http://www.swtor-spy.com/companions/ That website is a really good resource on information for all of the companions you get - it tells you what they like and don't like and even what gifts they like and don't care about. If companion affection means a lot to you, this website will really help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlacke Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Most i got is a -160 once i decided to put an end to some innocent and badly injured people, with Vette, but i made up for it with some good choices afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areka Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Stop doing things that your companion doesn't like. I'm not going to stop being nice and professional, just because Tanno Vik only likes "Me, me, me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolow Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Companion points are easy to get back through gifts. Dark/Light side points are not easy to get therefor I go for the dark/light and screw what my companion thinks. They will forget all about the fact you just killed a basket full of kittens if you give them a necklace later. Until a vendor sells dark/light side gifts for myself I will go for them in quest discussions over what makes a companion happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eysaathe Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Or, even easier, just look in the codex in-game. Also a good suggestion - but I'm fond of that website as it tells you about companions you don't have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
