Makar Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Who says no one will use them for more than daily quests in endgame? Can you see into the future and know all the expansions and their content? The point is, until/unless there is a direct statement by BioWare otherwise, this is a glaring inconsistency in the companions and, as such, it should be fixed. It really is as simple as that. Frankly, had I know this was the case not only would I not have rolled a consular, I would have waited on buying the game until I knew it was fixed. You see, I play healers exclusively, I rely on Qyzen, and no, actually, the level 50 techblade I got from an ArmorTech is NOT as good as some of the things I would see in the "end game content", NOR is it better than what I would quickly mod into being were I actually able to GET a moddable weapon for Qyzen. Not to mention there is damn little change of convincing anyone to hand an upgrade to my COMPANION should one drop in a FP or OP. Finally, I didn't say that you did say they were moddable; but you certainly imply they were "as good as a moddable" and, to be accurate, they're not.... again, that's the point. Complaining about gear you have now, because you want better for "The future expansions and content" is ridiculous, as it stands now the blue weapons do their job just fine. And in the future when more content is released, you'll most likely get better weps or even moddable ones. Not to mention they are on par with the weapons that are moddable, if you put better mods in them then of course they won't be. Though the very fact that a blue weapon is pretty much killing your ability to play your class is.... really sad. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakkar Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 So, your argument is based entirely around a hypothetical future.... Right. And I never said people don't use companions at 50, I said they're used mostly for dailies. And for those you don't need a companion with epic mods. So....you do not believe BW will release any content in the future? lol Hey, why do you presume to know how everyone uses their companions?

Makar Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 So....you do not believe BW will release any content in the future? lol Hey, why do you presume to know how everyone uses their companions? No, I believe that WHEN they release content, you most likely will get upgrade for your companions.. Just as you did while leveling; but even then I DOUBT new content that utilizes companions will be coming out in the near future. And I try not to think about how most people "USE" their companions.. *Shudder* But I do know what you can and can't use companions for in endgame. Can't bring them into WZs, a full FP group, Ops, Illum.... So what's left? Dailies... quests you hadn't finished... Standing around on the fleet? It's called drawing a logical conclusion.

DJChaotica Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 FWIW - I know Torian can use Techstaffs as well. I'm not sure if there are moddable versions of these out there, I have seen electrostaffs that are, but there's almost never any techstaffs on the Galactic Market. Aside: Pet peeve time, please stop labeling techstaffs as an electrostaff. "Ferver Grand Vanquisher's Electrostaff" is actually a techstaff.

I use mine while I go farm biochem material. Can I use them for that? You doubt any new content will utilize pets? What about when Bioware ups the cap to 60 and adds more quests? DO you think people may use them for quests in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I already have said several times that in the event that new content is implemented that utilizes companions, you'll most likely get upgrades for them just as you did while leveling.

Andryah Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (1) There are no moddable/orange techblades in the game. (2) There are no AIM hilts in the game (as would be needed by techblades or staffs, etc). So, alas, no. It's been tested and found that strength attribute works for ole Qyzen. So that solves the hilt problem. But actually the hilt is for weapon damage level + endurance mostly for a tank, so while the +strength helps some it's very secondary for Qyzen (same would be true for Aim). There is no current solution for the moddable/orange weapon I agree. On the other hand, does not having a moddable weapon for a companion really gimp them? Not IMO. It's nice when you are leveling so you can upgrade the weapon as you go, but techblades are very easy to find on weapon vendors and armstechs make them so it's not like you cannot get one really easy. My point is, this is easy to work around until they get around to fixing it. You are blowing it out of proportion IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikkeos Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have seen a couple fully moddable green (!) weapons as quest rewards on Hoth with my agent. I think one of them was a tech staff, but I might err there. I definately know that there was a green fully moddable electro staff too. They've been limited to the respective companion though.

salvadorellama Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 L2P qyzen is a tank and needs endurance and endurance and endurance , orange pet stuff comes from alderaan end end end L2play, shadows get a tank spec and use Qyzen for DPS. He needs dps dps dps. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancrizans Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 From what I understand, in beta some of those companions were ranged...they converted them to melee and didn't fix the stats...which seems weird to me, but several people who played beta for a while have said things like that in the forums.

Littletza Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 *snip* If you agree and would like to see this fixed (and the sooner, the better), please join me in using the signature you see on this post. *snip* That reminds me of people on youtube making some stupid statement and then asking for 'thumbs up'. Why not just submit your complaint and leave a copy of it on the thread for others to submit as well if they feel so very strongly about it instead of a yellow signature stating that BW hates this or that? Especially considering you previously in your post called it an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some, Qyzen was always melee though.... It seems the vast majority of changes to their main stat... Was for accessibility to gear.

I think about half the companions have been completely remodelled late in beta. Class and skillsets have been mixed good. You still see Kaliyo use a knife and a shotgun, for example. She can be equipped with one blaster (rifle or pistol), but no melee weapon. I think tech and electroblades have been available as alternatives, for the different damage type, before they've been assigned to one pet or the other, causing the current issues.
