Ugolino Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks for nothing. I'm sure having a needlessly hard time running heroics and Star Fortresses solo will make me much more interested in subbing for your content-light crapfest of an endgame! I really like how you made companions a joke again like pre-4.0 without so much as an option to overgear them! Thanks for making the decorations from Star Fortresses bugged too! I sure like not being able to donate them to my guild, that's an excellent incentive to run **** when I can't actually use most of the rewards for what they'd be best for! Oh, wait. No it won't. P.S. Release some Jedi robes already. How can such a greedy wallet-grubbing joke of a company be this bad at making people want to give them money? Edited November 16, 2015 by Ugolino

But you are seriously complaining that they are going to make it hard to solo Heroic 2's? As in, the content that is recommended to be done by two players? Um...that's kind of the idea. IT shouldn't be a cakewalk to do something solo that you are meant to have a human partner for. The 2 isn't supposed be you and your comp.
IslanderRebel Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Agree on that. Only thing is why did they make an achievement for "soloing" Star Fortress Heroic mode when it's an H2 or supposed to play like one?
thebobmaster Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Agree on that. Only thing is why did they make an achievement for "soloing" Star Fortress Heroic mode when it's an H2 or supposed to play like one? Because some achievements are meant to be stuff that isn't easy to do. Possible, yes, but not the norm.
Jadescythe Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Agree on that. Only thing is why did they make an achievement for "soloing" Star Fortress Heroic mode when it's an H2 or supposed to play like one? I would expect so players able to overcome the lack of a second player can show off their achievement. It's not much of an achievement if your companion can solo it all for you, is it?

IT shouldn't be a cakewalk to do something solo that you are meant to have a human partner for. The 2 isn't supposed be you and your comp. And endgame is a joke now. Soloing star fortress was about the only fun new content they had in the first place and I'll be damned if I have to do it with some idiot on Odessan. Twice the time, sharing the loot with some random guy, and generally not having as much fun? No thank you. It's intended to be soloable. Only now there's an artificial wall in place where you need to at least double your influence from the current level- which wasn't all that low to begin with, I'll remind you. This just means all your companions that aren't choked with gifts aren't even useable. As good as comps are, if you're getting outhealed by them, you're worthless trash of a healer since they only have a few heal casts and are extremely, extremely stupid AI-wise. I know I at least am not going to be inclined to run with idiots more even without useful comps around. I would expect so players able to overcome the lack of a second player can show off their achievement. It's not much of an achievement if your companion can solo it all for you, is it? lol good luck doing it at all on some classes and specs after this garbage patch. Me, I'll probably get it done today pre-patch or at some point with Lana- worst case, I just respec tank, but it's going to be pointless with the companions so gimped and now incapable of making up for being stupid with actual healing? The answer to trash tank comps is to fix them, not make the others equally useless. What are the clowns inside Bioware smoking and what did they do with the actual dev team?

Ugolino Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 If i can't solo old H2 for (Rep lockboxs) then there is no point for me to keep my sub up or buy CC anymore . You still can! It just takes forever and is about as fun as having your teeth pulled! Because being able to do content reasonably efficiently if you have half a clue is just too OP! Thanks for nothing, Bioware. You can't even leave well enough alone.
tmwfte Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I would expect so players able to overcome the lack of a second player can show off their achievement. It's not much of an achievement if your companion can solo it all for you, is it? You, and others decrying those pointing out the solo achievement for H2 SFs, seem to be forgetting one thing. This achievement is not JUST about soloing the Heroic 2 Star Fortress flashpoints, it's about soloing it WITHOUT the added buffs and equipment from the specialists as well. You even have to make the kill shot on the Exarch yourself (not your companion, not the sun reactor) in order to trigger the achievement. It's not about showing off that you did it without a second player, it's about being able to do the entire thing WITHOUT ANY outside aid.
Jadescythe Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 If i can't solo old H2 for (Rep lockboxs) then there is no point for me to keeping my sub up or buying CC anymore . You can solo those without a companion today. No matter how much they nerf companions, you won't have any issues with the planetary H2s.
Bigdoom Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 You can solo those without a companion today. No matter how much they nerf companions, you won't have any issues with the planetary H2s. I hop so, but how can really you trust any game company with a nerf bat .
Ugolino Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 You can solo those without a companion today. No matter how much they nerf companions, you won't have any issues with the planetary H2s. Go do Makeb heroics without a companion. Go on, we'll wait. I'm sure you'll love it just as much as the other two people still running those things.
TUXs Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Funny enough, none of this would be an issue if level sync wasn't mandatory.
Ugolino Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Funny enough, none of this would be an issue if level sync wasn't mandatory. Yes, well level synch is going to go from tolerable to downright aggravating. Another wonderful little side effect, yes?
ZanyaCross Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for nothing. I'm sure having a needlessly hard time running heroics and Star Fortresses solo will make me much more interested in subbing for your content-light crapfest of an endgame! LOL! You're complaining about possibly having to have another person to do endgame-level heroic missions?! Are you freakin' serious?
tmwfte Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Yes, well level synch is going to go from tolerable to downright aggravating. Another wonderful little side effect, yes? Aside from, you know, the fact that aggro range has gone up considerably again with level sync, there's also another rather annoying consequence: Advanced Speeder Piloting III now seems useless on many planets. While it still states that you're not going to be knocked off your mount, in practice, this doesn't seem to be the case. One shot from a regular ordinary not even "strong" level opponent seems to be enough to knock you from the mount on Tatooine. So much for another "perk" that people potentially paid real money for.
MajorMacMillan Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I was able to complete Legacy of Rakata fp in solo with my heler companion back when it was lvl 55. I am still able to do it today. If tommorow it will be undoable and I will be forced to go for Jesus droid and crappy rewards I am unsubbing asap.

Yeahhhhh about that, I hope you have a high influence comp because healing's being slashed down to a third. On the other hand, you won't be missing much for now if you do unsub since there's absolutely no new content that we know of for the next few months- just a few cartel packs.

Well unless they strip all the titles already earned for it when this goes live, it isn't much of an achievement period.

The gimped mode doesn't make it any less stupid that companions are now worthless and some content- including content DESIGNED to be doable solo if you're not trash- is now unplayable.

The 2 isn't supposed be you and your comp. actualy... they are. 2 players "suggested" NOT required. and since the game's release it was that way. it was either players or player and companion. including the whole doing H4 with 2 people and their companions (why do you think people have been complaining about that section x heroic that actualy required 4 people?) we'll see how bad the nerf is tomorrow, but if its as bad as I'm hearing... yeah, thanks but no thanks.

So, you used the companions post nerf? Since you stated, "they are now worthless." Why is it gimped? It is for people that want to play solo.... If you want to get through a HEROIC, designed to be best played with 2 or more PEOPLE, ask someone to join you. Super companions were not put in the game to make sure anyone can solo an heroic. It was a mistake by BW and they are going to fix it, and hopefully not to the point they truly are worthless.... Edited November 16, 2015 by Themanthatisi
