Riclar Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I don't want to be dependent on other players, but you are forcing that choice on me. You have gone way too far with this latest update. Changing the leveling by planet and nerfing the NPC's have created a climate of you must quest together. Soloing is virtually impossible now. A regular mission cost me 4 deaths and an unfinished mission due to frustration with the NPC who should be healing me, but doesn't anymore. . Why subscribe if you will only die and the game becomes unplayable for you.
branmakmuffin Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Soloing "normal" Heroics (i.e., not Star Fortress) is still no big deal.
MaximusRex Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 You should try placing your companion into healing mode if you want it to heal you. And if you are dying a lot to solo missions, you might want to check on when the last time you upgraded your gear and trained new skills was, as you might be due.
sheliasgs Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Soloing isn't completely impossible, but my sentinel can no longer play with a healing companion. In 3.0 I used doc all the time and as long as I kept him fully geared, I could solo heroic 2s with no problem. With the current nerf I find that I do a bit better by setting my companion to tank, but I won't attempt solo mode on star fortress. They were difficult to solo before the nerf. It might be easier for other classes with more cc, healing or tank abilities. The sentinel is a little soft and our cc ability only works on droids. Please bring back the gearing of companions similar to 3.0 so that we can make them more effective with gear.
Karthoa Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I only kept my subscription because I was enjoying soloing heroic SF. I can't do that now with this patch, it takes too long and I don't like the difficulty level. The way it was had just the right balance, difficult but not frustrating at all. I have played SWTOR for several years and pugs have always been the worst part of the game. If I can't solo the new content at a pace that won't take up my entire night, I won't play it at all.
