Kaskae Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Conversation rewards like Social and Alignment Points and Companion Affection are gained more consistently during Hard Mode Flashpoints. More consistently? So since social points in HMs were 0% chance, now they're what, 25-75% chance? My main has been finished with HMs for weeks now. I am Social Rank 1 still. When we ran HMs, we weren't credited with untold amounts of social points. How did something like this take over 2 months to fix? The social points are part of the overall sense of accomplishment. I have grouped a great deal on my main character and have probably earned all the social ranks/rewards several times over. Yet now that this fix has been implemented, I can't help but feel bitter. Especially knowing there's no way to retroactively award all the missing points. I know. Big deal. They're just social points. The game is still in beta, and it's not like you're actually paying for it. Just be happy that you're privileged enough to test it. Go find a group and do BT normal mode over and over and over. Etc. etc. Edited February 15, 2012 by Kaskae
OutlawGryphon Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I'm still not getting any for HMs post patch. So, it still isn't fixed.
Banky Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 not here either did both Directive 7 and False Emperor Hard modes tonight and no social and no alignment points either. and off topic in case a dev actually reads this Not only fix this (correctly) but also can we get a fix for the very well known warzone exploit that is letting teams have more than 8 players? It is seriously getting out of hand. (and a personal wish can you penalize players who quit/go afk in a warzone?)
Anundir Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Are you really supprised that Bioware patched something and it wasn't really fixed at this point?
StewieMcScotty Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Not getting any either. Bioware Please Fix these issues that you say you are going to fix because THEY ARE'NT FIXED!!!!
Excise Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Before the patch, running HM BT would get you Social points only for the initial conversation with the Flashpoint NPC where you select Normal/Hard mode (so 1 dialog option's worth). I ran HM BT today and received Social & Alignment Points for everything after selecting Hard/Normal, but before the Mission Complete window pops up (ie: immediately after defeating Yadira Ban). So currently you miss out on the Social & Alignment Points for the conversation with The General, the crew back on the Black Talon, and the decision to go to Dromund Kaas or return to Vaiken Spacedock. So for HM BT at least it's an improvement... but still needs work.
StewieMcScotty Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Got nothing from False Emperor, or Kaon
Rabix Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 ran 3 flashpoints tonight in a group of 4 all 4 of us received social and alignment from Foundry 3 of us received social and alignment from BT, I just received alignment all 4 of us received social and alignment from Kaon the quests finish when the final boss is killed, meaning you still miss out on a bunch of social rolls sometimes, and the occasional alignment choice, but it's far better than it was before
Painstorm Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Ran a full Foundry and BP HM tonight. Got a grand total of 41 Social points and 0 alignment points. So no, it is not fixed at all. And no, I'm (sadly) not surprised at all that it's still bugged despite the supposed "patch"
ericdjobs Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I like it the way it is.. I levelled with a group of 3 others to 50 I'm social 6, they seem to be working fine...and I really like my 'party time' title being incredibly rare ;P
Luculus Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Yup, no social or alignment for our group in Battle of Ilum HM last night either. Not fixed.
tuckwd Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 are you guys completing the whole instance and conversations rather than just exiting area after downing the last boss? ran essles hm last night w guildies for the tanks bracers and once we downed last boss we received the completion. 128 social points and something like 150 or 180 alignment points.
Yograin Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I hope at least the BT up to last boss social points count now. Most ppl exit instance w/o even talkin to general anyway. There should have been a "No dialogue" option for hardmodes and a set social reward for finishing Grp. content.
