valkyriewiz Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nope you didn't,, and Nope I wont go away. I paid I comment. Your elitist stain is across many threads and all you do is sneer. IT states They Are solo-able just you and the comp because they are story arc. If they were forcing people to group they would never get people back. Now try again i completely agree this other guy is hilarious. SF solo is hard if you aren't decked out and now its a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now try again Yes they are soloable and yes people can solo it. However they were not intended to be soloable as PROVEN by their statement "This mode is intended for groups of 2 players (with their respective Companions). " That would be 2 players and 2 companions for a total of 4. Just because YOU can't because you aren't overly skilled is not Bioware's fault. Get better or get a group. Just because your ability to do math and comprehension is most likely as good as your ability to play the game is no reason for them to not nerf companions. The game is now working as intended. Thanks Bioware, good job. I'll say it if no one else will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what MeNaCe-NZ And my opinion is that it is not and you know what both of our opinions are not worth anything at all and hold the same weight equal. and EricM said "Absolutely! It certainly may be a bit more challenging than before but you can complete them. The intent is that you can complete any [Heroic 2] with your Companion counting as one of the two. If you find this isn't true for any Heroics tomorrow, let us know" That you CAN complete them nothing in there about what they were intended for. Just saying.

Deyjarl Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 its clear that major changes need to be made No it isn't clear that "major" changes need to be made. One major change created all the complaints from those who don't like this. Two, I question how big of a deal it is to anyone outside the forums. Don't see the ranting and raving in game about it all. The forums don't represent the player base. Minor adjustments should be made, sure. Not problem with that. We do not need to go back to god mode though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The server have all lower then before the nerf populations, I think you have your answer right there... Also the nerf was made after the forum's minority whined about it, so why shouldn't the majority use the same tactic to get reversed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor adjustments should be made, sure. Not problem with that. We do not need to go back to god mode though. I like the first sentence in your last line. Unfortunately, Bioware didn't go with minor adjustments. They clearly don't understand human beings. If they nerfed it a couple times bit by bit, the player base would have been more willing to accept it. But giving them something that made the game really fun for a lot of people and then completely taking it away is just a terrible miscalculation on their part. I'm with the people who believe they nerfed them not because of the people complaining that they were OP (and I agree they were), but because people were progressing too quickly in the alliance system and they wanted to slow them down. To that point though I still don't see the point of grinding through the alliance system as is. Unless they make major improvements to it, it is nothing but a way to get extra companions and I am better off waiting to see where the companions I want are gated then doing some grind that as is seems entirely pointless.

Often Eric says things and they're not quite the truth, you won't ever get an apology about it though ( go back to the dev posts on the slot machine to back this up ). What I quoted was from an actual/dev designer I will take anything they say over anything Eric says any day. I lost most respect for Eric long ago, how this community is left to fester more or less doesn't help improve my opinion of his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeNaCe-NZ Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 see the word ANY in there... You can complete them, just not easily and with some grinding to get the gear/inf required. People need to stop quoting verbatim what Eric says, it wouldn't be the first time he's lead the community down the garden path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tashia Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 No player should die in the most challenging solo player content in the game that has the word "heroic" in it? Really? It's WEEKLY H2 -- that I was doing fine -- just fine -- before -- READ my post and comprehend it please --- these are what Eric said we wouldn't have any problem doing ... read -- there are problems there weren't before --- I'm asking that it not be a terrible grind since we HAVE to do it for Alliance -- should something we have to do for the game to advance be so hard that we die multiple times ? if you like this -- please go and play EQ2 or Everquest -- they are grindy -- you'll love the "Advanced Solo" content you can't do without buying a merc with real money ( yes that's a lot of fun ) and yes we complain about it ......

higginsjf Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I like to point out that some of Us solo players are doing so not as a choice but the choices we made back when the game had a life on all the sever types and with the lack of some love for 2/3rd the game some severs have taken a hit in player base and last I checked was the only one on the planet i was on and 3 on fleet that where not even able to help me but was able to help them run some of the stuff for there level but NPC can get come help. And the way things go around here the small few get lost in the crowed and just like the slot machine crushed into the ground. Or wait for some coins to trans a toon to go play where there is life .
