IanArgent Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I was examining the parts of the WEEKLY HEROIC MISSIONS terminal that we could see in the livestream, and noticed something. While all the Heroics listed were 2+, even if they are currently 4 (including the one that Musco jumped to), none of the bonus series heroics from Balmorra, Belsavis, or Hoth were shown. (Hoth only shows one mission - Deconstruction efforts, but it's a H4 right now, and shows as a H2+ in the video). Now, it may be that the bonus series heroics are listed in a different part of the terminal, or they may not be involved in whatever this terminal is supposed to support (most likely for Belsavis, since that bonus series is technically a daily grinder). Or they may not be retuning the bonus series for 2+ play. Any way you slice it, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khiriath Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes... so that a half decent player with a companion can solo them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanArgent Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes... so that a half decent player with a companion can solo them. That's the assumption - yeah. It depends on the autostats that BW gives companions for role and level. I just found it interesting that the terminal did not list at all the bonus series' heroics. Pretty big omission, especially for Imp Balmorra, where the bonus series is on-level for the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavSalco Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Yes... so that a half decent player with a companion can solo them. Indeed. That's the plan Bioware had in mind. Those heroics in their description even state "you MAY require a small group to do it" aka if you are terribly bad you might need another person but otherwise, you are fine solo.

The Oricon H2+ is a tough one to solo at level for some advanced class roles. A healer with on-level gear and powers is going to find it pretty difficult to do in some of those large mobs or the Elite bosses, given that comp tanks are terrible in holding aggro and some of those bosses will as soon as interrupt you as look at you. And for the Czerka tactical flashpoints that say 2+ when you enter, if one of the players isn't a tank, you have to ignore the kiting mechanics, because it's very hard to get a comp tank to kite.

Fleurdelis Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What about the Heroic 4 in Section X. Hope they fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanArgent Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) On all planets up through Makeb the existing Heroic Missions have been revised in several ways in order to make them more accessible to all players: All repeatable missions, including Heroic Missions, now have their own Mission icon: a gold triangle with arrows on it. Heroic Missions have been adjusted to be completed by groups of 2+. This means that former [Heroic 4] missions have had their difficulties reduced. Read into that what you will Edited October 5, 2015 by IanArgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphasgimaone Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 That was a concern of mine, as well as the pair for completing the Macrobinocular and Seeker droid chains. Yup. And that staged Sith guy on Republic Balmorra bonus series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
