dipstik Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 after a guild has won a conquest (got #1 on the planet), will there be a 2 day period before they offically have control of the planet, like there was on the PTS? Or will they get control immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmanandStarWar Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I AM SO PUMPED!!!!! I can't wait to try it out!!! If I can still get my battle with the Emperor on my wall, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKirby Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Not sure why people are so hyped about this, its just a waste of resources, i mean i would find it interesting if it actually gave something useful to me, even the legacy storage is a waste, i mean, i can just mail items i need to transfer, the storage would be more better if it allowed storage of bound items, not just legacy bound....otherwise...just mail the items. lol When it comes to strongholds, i find them a waste of resources to even implement, i never really had a house on swg, i found it a waste of credits to maintain, since it never gave me anything to warrant the waste in credits. When it comes to guild ships, i just don't see the benefit, the guild leader will likely control it, so that means, where the leader goes, the ship will go, which means, they get the benefit all the time, you will only be lucky if you are on the same planet at the same time.

Raansu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) lol at lowering the difficulty of class missions....cuz the solo campaign isn't easy enough already? I will say thank you for finally fixing the tatooine canyon exploit though. Glad I wont have to deal with that in season 3.

Raansu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I am surprised that these early patch notes mention some exploit patches ... The season ends today, the patch comes out tomorrow, and practically every ranked player was aware of it and there has been threads asking BW to fix it, so really I don't see the issue in them mentioning it, especially since they don't specify how it worked. Now if only these people would have their ratings reset, along with the win traders, the trolls, the queue syncers and the botters (ya both ranked queue's have a ton of issues...) and I might actually put some effort into season 3 lol.

Raansu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Apparently not, everyday somebody asks for help on one of those missions. I've had people whisper me when I was on my sentinel a few times. I would look at their level or their gear and half the time they are like 5-6 levels below the quest or they have gear that is still from the level 30's....The fight isn't difficult, people just don't bother paying attention to the quest level or their gear.

Nmyownworld Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thank you, Great Ptach, for the notes. I'm surprised at class story missions getting reduced difficulty. Especially the Trooper's. "The Battle of Corellia" always felt right to me. An epic battle to end the Trooper class story. Hopefully, it's still epic. Pets making noises, lol. That's either going to be really fun, or really not. No middle ground, I'd think. I'm looking forward to hearing what my organic pets have to say about things. This patch is chocked full of interesting. I'm looking forward to trying things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avorniel Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 why bolster makeb to 156 ?? can understand reducing the mobs but makeb isn't exactly hard ..so I guess we can go to makeb at lvl 40 and get bolstered up ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about the why of the Makeb changes, too. Based on my "I don't know anything about coding a game" view, it would have made more sense to trigger the Makeb breadcrumb at level 50, instead of level 47. I've seen a few level 47 players on Makeb, but they didn't stay there long. Tait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletBlaze Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 They have added Makeb to the personal conquest list. This may encourage some people to do Makeb. Not everyone likes to do Makeb. I have done since it been released for the weekly but I know people who don't like messing with Makeb . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the content is getting old and the upcoming expansion with 3.0 is probably going to raise the level cap so I'd imagine they would want to speed up the ease of leveling in that zone. That or they probably saw most people just skipping makeb and wanted to give people reasons to bother going to the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 why bolster makeb to 156 ?? can understand reducing the mobs but makeb isn't exactly hard ..so I guess we can go to makeb at lvl 40 and get bolstered up ..... So a level 40 can do damage to a 50 plus? Who knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
