CommanderKeeva Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I don't think that removing the 16man option from the group finder is going to help new people get into operations. On the contrary, I think it will be detrimental for their chances. Here's what I'm thinking: If you take the average operation with 5 bosses, you have the option of getting 32 commendations in 16man ops (4 from each boss + 12 from the weekly) or 42 commendations in 8man ops (30 from the final boss + 12 from the weekly). Now, as you can see, it is more beneficial to run 8man operations as far as commendations go now. There is also the fact that 8man operations are more demanding, where there's less room for error and mistakes. They are faster, cleaner and much less chaotic with a good group, but most raid leaders will not take completely new people into 8man groups, especially for operations like Dread Fortress and Palace. So even if you keep the bolster, it will not help beginners earn 30 Ultimate comms because they won't be accepted into 8man groups. And they cant join regular 16man operations now either, because there is no bolster there to compensate for their lack of gear. This new system is great for geared, experienced players who want to farm commendations for alts, but it's also a catch 22 situation for people new to endgame operations, especially those for whom this new group finder system was ostensibly put in place (e.g. those who need bolster.) Please reconsider the ramifications of this change. Edited June 13, 2014 by CommanderKeeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demotivator Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Simple. Remove OPS Queue We don't use it. We still pug them. Vey few used them except for the bonus comms. That's all. (...) This. If the idea was speeding up our gear progression just increase the reward for the op weeklies. No one ever used GF to PUG ops before and with the reversal to 8 man no one will again.

Makkatokk Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 First we hade massive lags and stuff like that, sure it makes the game to play if you want to to ops, fp or pvp. But today, I downloaded the patch, and I saw the messange of the panic patch and the servers is still down, but I pressed play anyway, and the game crashed. It start to load the loading screen, but then it just shutdown it self, I tried this 3 times, same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereolindel Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) @altheraan : c'est moi, je pex mes reroll comme ça, en général mes vaisseaux sont à poil (reroll oblige) Pour la phrase en jaune: phrase de Stephen Reid (ou raid), le gars qui etait chargé de la communication de SWTOR avant sa sortie. Il avait sortie ça sur le forum officiel face aux demandes de fan. Et on se demande pourquoi le jeu n'a pas marché au départ Edited June 13, 2014 by Jereolindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelStar Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 ok, my wrong interpretation. AM/PM (or "12 Hour Clock"): the day is split into: •the 12 Hours running from Midnight to Noon (the AM hours), and •the other 12 Hours running from Noon to Midnight (the PM hours). No doubt there is nothing so clear and logic like the 24H system, for worlwide understand. Ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
