Ishlana Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Don't know why there needed to be a change to the companions.... For the PvP servers there might have been a need but for the 10 people that play on those servers that never saw each other open world I think its a waste should be reverted
CyberRoad Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Fix Companions!...who is this useless meat bag at my side now? losing interest not happy with latest patch!
StarkHelsing Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Agreed. I wouldn't fully revert, but some sort of compromise is needed. They are useless now, they were stronger before 4.0 than they are now. How is that even possible?
suthernsteel Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 see told you people are not happy this is just the beginning in a post you told a player we will still be able to solo if we choose too but at a more challenging rate , now did you mean you will die every-time or did you mean we at swtor made it to where you fail unless partied ,,,,,, i don't want the game too easy but when i at 65 die before the first mob is down and i have all 2o8 mods , then i watched my nephew die every time he went to do the missions the star fortress , he is more powerful than i on his toon and he was getting owned left and right you could have made it a Lil challenging but almost impossible is ridiculous.... and please don't tell me what they said on the phone " if you don't party with other people then why bother playing swtor it is a mmo '' yes it is an mmo but last i knew mmo didn't mean party or don't play , as i was so instructed buy your phone support .. i pay my dues to play this game i don't: do F2P for the fact i wanted to chip in on making the game better and lets face it you need money to do that , you guys don't understand it can take 4 hours or more to get a party , im not saying make it easy im just saying i feel the companions should match the player not be under them , take away the lvl down crap i stay on a planet and do more because i want to be more powerful when i fight the boss or heroics you took that away, i feel you are slowly taking one persons play style and forcing everyone to conform to this ,,, the update before this one was grrrr but as i played i liked it now i will not like this update even a normal mob can hurt you more than usual there are other ways to do things than make it almost impossible have you seen the prices on the GTN or the high price on the Cartel Market subscribers pay 60.00 for two months then we gotta pay out the rear for coins and even with the coins you can hardly afford the cartel market ,, well i took too much of your time , happy gaming cause im on my way out , i will miss swtor ..... emotions all at once
SuperGrunt Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 BioWare needs to un nerf the companions, and find out what the actual cause of the problem is. Rumor has I that it's actually due to the hilt or barrel in the companion's weapon. They also need to fix the 0 Armor bug, before attempting to make any adjustments to companion power. Finally I feel that all of us subscribers should get some free game time added to our accounts considering large portions of us haven't been able to play since the patch, and even those who have been able to play haven't been able to do much of anything. If these things don't get taken care of quickly I think that BioWare is going to start going back down in subs, which they had been trending upwards lately.
Wemblys Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Gotta agree with this, now my companions heals are completely unnoticeable, damage is less than negligible, and as a tank they are about as useful as a piece of paper we already have the pet summons for useless things that follow us around, making the companions serve a similar purpose is redundant
Lazerpew Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Patches tend sway 50/50 with gamers. Some love the changes while others hate them. BW...100% of your customers HATE what you've done to companions! Wake up! This was a huge screw up! *** did you do?! Dear lord. You may as well have just hit "DELETE" on the entire game. I hate to say it but if this isnt fixed in the next few days you're looking at a massive loss in revenue. If you wanted to nerf companions then you need to reduce our need for them. A level 65 shouldnt get smoked by two lvl 15 elites. You broke something that didn't need fixing. The best part is I was fully intending on purchasing all the little market items. This patch came out and I put the brakes on. If you're reading this BW, you can verify how much I've spent in the last month. You'll see that I wasn't kidding. Edited November 18, 2015 by Lazerpew

Exactly the same for me - I exited from the game immediately in disgust following my first encounter with a Heroic higher than a starter world because my tank couldn't survive through a 6 mob pull of 2 golds, 2 silver and 2 standards 1/3 of my max level toon with 208+ gear and a 216 weapon. This after switching from a low level melee toon who's healer kept dying to plain mobs! BW, you really messed this up. I too ask BW to check how much I've spent on CC since returning as a subscriber 33 days ago
Swounds Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 There is a similar thread I posted in at length here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8632573#post8632573 Basically, agreed. The nerf isn't an issue for my 'best' characters but it certainly isn't going to make me want to work on getting my others geared. Oh, the agony!
