Psychopyro Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) So I decided to run... again... The One and Only. This time I chose Alderaan. There is no hyperbole here, just video of actually doing it and feed back... The video can be found My gear is in the video, including companion influence and rank. The total Video is 16m. It's just the 3 mini bosses and the lead up and final boss fight. This was my DPS Infiltration Shadow. First of all, I made several intentional mistakes during combat. While they were minor, they are, in my opinion nothing an average player shouldn't be able to recover from. Second, it was not the let your companion AFK that people have been claiming. My companion would not have been able to heal and DPS. I personally think it is still a bit on the easy side, so I'll hold out on that until some expected tweaks are made. At least this time it was not a kite fest. There are still some loot issues as well, you have to kinda loot as the corpse is falling to do it quickly, otherwise you have to position the camera to grab the loot. Still disappointed that spec tools are still kinda meh as far as usefulness goes. I did not die at all, nor did I really feel in danger of doing so.... Edited November 24, 2015 by Psychopyro
Trobon Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I've mentioned this in other threads, but it bears repeating. In the post yesterday they mentioned that they planning on balancing SFs independently of Heroics and the Companion changes (and thus would give them a new name to reflect the more difficult nature). However, there was nothing in the patch notes that suggested this has happened. I think the easiness you are seeing is due to them not having done those balance changes yet. That's not to say what you wrote wouldn't be good feedback. I'm sure they are looking carefully at what people are posting about how easy the SF is so that they can balance that.
Bakgrind Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Dunno it still looks ok to me . How about trying it with Lana either in the DPS or Tank mode and come back and post your results.
Psychopyro Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Yes, I am aware a balance pass and renaming is coming. I have just seen a lot of people scream that it's an AFK fest or that it's impossible to do without any proof but providing outlandish claims either way. Some of the claims have been people in 220 gear can't get it down, some that you don't have to do anything. I posted this more of proof of the fact that it can be done, without optimized gear, and making several mistakes, but it does require the player to actually play..
Psychopyro Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Dunno it still looks ok to me . How about trying it with Lana either in the DPS or Tank mode and come back and post your results. I could, but why would I use a DPS or tank with this character. Mobs won't drop any faster and the Exarch would take me in a handful of hits once my DCDs and self heal were blown. I could run it again on my Sage or Scoundrel I suppose, but I would not expect any different results except that it would be slower.
