Louka Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Many people have said they're bored with this game at 50 and this is quite common with mmos, especially when they have just launched. More flashpoints and operations are great but what about some solo flashpoints that would allow players to bring 3 of their companions? I think this would be a great idea to add some variety to the end game content and break up the monotony of running dailies. The flashpoints would have to be a bit easier than the ones designed for a group of 4 actual players so maybe a "solo" difficulty could be added or perhaps some completely new FPs could be added down the road after Bioware can gauge their popularity.

Oceanzen Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Actually, I love this idea. It would be great to see these companions that you spent time collecting fight side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentinelDranoel Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I am just saying... I beat guild wars with 7 other npc's. Would never have played that game if I had to rely on waiting for a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerion Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I like this idea...you should post in the suggestion subform at the top of this page. I fear this will get lost. It fits with other BioWare titles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Bond Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 the reason theyre bored @ 50 is because its hard and take a long time to find a group for any flashpoints, or heroic flashpoints This is going to be fixed, now that we know the cries of millions of people has been heard by bioware and theyre working on a cross server LFD finder (YAY!!) and to you fanboys who are against it, Check out my sig.

Thoughts on this? I actually started a thread exactly like this in the suggestion box a little while back, 98% of respondants were in favour with 4 dissenters. Their main concern was solo players getting gear they they had to group to obtain, if it wasnt so sad I would have laughed. Thread reach 14 pages if I recollect so many people were in favour of it, lets hope BW hears our pleas because in a few months when I have several characters at cap I suppose that will be it. You have my full support for this idea. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=210135 my post in suggestion box, pls add your support.

Agreed, the fact that we actually have 6 but only ever use 1 is a shame, I would like to see the companion system expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make the solo dungeon gear be exactly like their group counterparts but scaled down like 20%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the reason they're bored. The reason is there is absolutely nothing else to do at 50 but wz's/fp's/operations...There should be extra fun stuff to do when you have done all those dozens of times already and bored of them already.

Bipper Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd love this to happen. It would definitely increase the longevity of the game for me. No matter how devs of whatever MMO push us into *having* to group it never works on me (and I suspect I'm not alone). Anything that can give the solo player more to do at max level cap has to be a good thing. Those that want to group can still do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balashark Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sounds great to me but the suggestion of making the gear drops be 20% less effective stats wise (big no on that) would make doing them pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CainCypherus Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This sounds like a fantastic idea! I'm totally onboard with this, provided that it gives worse rewards then if you group togeather with other players. There should still be an incentive for coopertive play, but still an oppertunity to experience the story even if you want to avoid grouping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jastreb Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm 100% supporting this idea - I want to play this game and see how the stories develop, I just can't commit myself to raiding anymore after 6 years of WoW. Actually, I always thought they'd implement this in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahkronn Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm sorry but your idea sounds great for an offline game. Creating more soloable content would further ruin the already shaky community in servers. group playing would be for Warzones and OPs only, and gesh, imagine OP groups made of people that never relied on another player. No coordination needed, egoistical objectives... Sounds great, but I don't think it's a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortoises Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 While were at it, why not have PvP planets and RvR that lets us use companions? If any of you have ever played Mount&Blade:By Fire and Sword, there is a game option where you are the leader of a squad of AI and you can customize their gear and weapons and troop type and then lead them against other players of the same thing. It makes it into a massive war and it takes skill and squad commands to be good at. Why not let us do this in PvP in Star Wars? You would finally be adding that RTS factor into it, I think it would be a lot of fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
