This achievement will never happen on shae vizla, and will be beyond difficult on satelle.

I can't comment on SV but there were folks on SS that already had 20-30 kills.  Granted that's about 4-5 hours of grinding.  If I had the time I would have stuck around but I only had enough for the GS objective.

On the first day there was a group on SS that was grinding up to 40 kills and just constantly grabbing new people who wanted the objective as other people cycled out. So there are at least a few people on SS that already have the 40 kills for the achievement.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that they doubled down on stupid achievement objectives. I ran CZ until my eyes were sore on the last GS, I'm not going to spend months trying to get into 40 groups for the DvL bosses for this one.

You just need to spend a little time on Tatooine & Dromund Kass this week, wait often a few minutes perhaps 10-20 as others congregate; then tag the boss a few times even if your not in the Group, you'll still get credit as others said.  Just has to be same Faction that tag's it first for Credit, so doing 3 per week isn't that hard especially if ungrouped with Companion, yet also see the highlight below which I love!  

  • I get some did CZ-198 to speed it up last season with buff's sure, yet I didn't and still had enough doing Weeklys, almost 1.5 months before Seasons finished.

Not doing it is solely your choice, and as @Toraak stated it's nice Broadsword finally gave 1 of like 10-12 Weekly Objectives a Group Feature; those were designed however to encourage people to earn Dark & Light Banner's for your Strongholds!  Now arguing if 40 World Bosses is too high is de·bat·a·ble, yet its the Greatest Bounty that comes with it's own Flair, it's an great improvement over collecting 1500 Blueprint Fragments for a Forklift.  ;)  

  1. I believe them adding Flair back into the Galactic Seasons is a wonderful thing, for those who are willing to put in the work!

So all the people complaining in that thread about not getting blueprints by mindless killing low level trash in CZ were doing it wrong? Good to know because I'm glad I took the "slow" way but still beating them to the chievo lmao

Yea you I both, and I still had several weeks in the Season when I did it as well...  Good for you, and thanks for the laugh.   I mean you can do all 7 objectives even in just 1-2 days even if your more casual player perhaps in a few hours.   :classic_smile:

And yea they were trying to get it out of the way, yet even on SS their will be people doing them each Week, to earn 1 of Dark vs. Light Boss + the tokens as well.

The problem with this is, it doesn't account for people who work 'unsociable hours'. Every day I've been on so far this week when I'm not at work, I go to Tat and DK and there are less than 10 people online there... Between dead server populations and bad working hours I'm kind of just screwed. 

I'll agree that it's better than the last GS achievement in the sense that grinding 1500 pieces of literal vendor trash with 0.1% drop rate was just beyond stupid. But it's also brutal to look at the achievement and know that it's simply impossible to get because I can't play at times where there are going to be enough people online to actually do this and it requires a group (regardless of shared tagging, you need enough people actually online to form a group to kill it). GS is supposed to be a bit of fun but when things are locked behind group content, that's not fun.

I already shared my Feedback in another thread, and we know they a slightly smaller team now; also realize the  x.x.1 (7.5.1) is mostly Seasonal & other enhancements.

  • 7.0 was Legacy of Sith released on 02/15/22; an Expanded Manaan Story Area, with it's own Daily Area.
  • 7.0.1 was 03/22/22.
  • 7.1 was Explore the depths of Manaan in our new Daily Area on 08/02/22.
  • 7.1.1 was 10/18/22.
  • 7.2 was New Planet Ruknuk on 12/13/22.
  • 7.2.1 was 3/28/23.
  • 7.3 was Voss in explore the new Interpreter’s Retreat on 6/13/23.
  • 7.3.1 was 9/5/23.
  • 7.4 was Ord Mantel in Kessan's Landing on 12/5/23.
  • 7.4.1 was 3/11/24.
  • 7.5 was Hutta in Minboosa District in 5/29/24 & Basilisk Protype Venture.
  • 7.5.1 was 8/20/24
  • 7.6 will likely be coming around December, possibly another revisited Planet?
  • 8.0 possibly in April-May 2025, many love a New Planet like Wookie Planet, Vette's homeworld, or countless others; yet that may be later in Season like 7.2?
  1. This averages out to "tertiary" or split in thirds updates, though since Broadsword it's been semi-yearly with smaller quarterly updates like .1 updates we have now...  yet this sometimes occurs before next tier too.  Above suggested two larger focused updates, with smaller quarterly updates that also expand Story or add Flashpoints!  Yet dependant upon their team size, yet recent updates focused on bugs, new seasonal event, or things like upgrade caches & other things!  :classic_rolleyes:

  -- You can find many threads in forums talking about where people like to go, so at some point if not right away, we may see another not too far afterward.

NOTE: 7.0 has evolved for slightly more than 2.75 years come December, given they've hinted 7.6 it's likely December; so then 7.61 may see 8.0 Aprill-May 2025?

I'll give my feedback on GS 7:

The Good:

- Decreased the grind: 40 DvL-Bosses is so much better than the 1500 blueprint-grind

- Some nice rewards: Flair instead of forklift, some of the armors are really nice looking, Loth cat, ...

- Nice theme/topic: bountyhunting is a nice plotline for head canon

- DvL-Bosses: good that they finally returned

The Bad:

- No real story for the season

The Ugly:

- No "big" reward like a companion or a stronghold or something like this.

- Like always... bugs: no furious Brynjak on the vendor, GS 6-title "build different" in the meta achievement, ... 

Suggestions for GS 8:

- Add "new" thinks to the GS-vendor like Taun fawn, AC-PT walker and other promo stuff which isn't available anymore

- Keep the lower grind... all achievements should be doable in the 100 weeklies timeframe. Last season I got my 1500 blueprints in the last week of GS despite playing almost every week and playing a lot.

- Bring back a big reward like companion or stronghold or something similar.

- Add some story conclusion/finish.

Thanks for reading! May the force be with you.

I very rarely say this about SWTOR but this season is just a disappointment to me.  Unless I'm forgetting something, this is the first season where you are required to group with others if you want to complete all of the achievements:

image.png.a6531e65fcf5411e4ff7eaf05c294e5e.png

Nobody is going to be soloing the Dark and Light side World Bosses.

I don't mind the DvL theme (even though it should have never been removed from the game in the first place) as there are many players who could use those tokens on the vendors but, as usual, the long time players (almost 13 years now) just get ignored.  There is nothing new on the Dark and Light vendors for long time subs and I am also going to be throwing away Season tokens on stuff I don't need at the vendor (except for I think two new mounts) because I am maxed out on them.

There are so many unreleased (or very limited) pets and other things in collections that could be thrown on the vendors but SWTOR just refuses to do so. New decorations or anything else new would be a welcome addition to the vendors.

Can you point out in the achievement where "group with others" is a requirement?

Since you are now the second person to harp on the specific wording of my original post, no, you do not need a group.  However, you must rely on other people to finish this achievement.  Did you solo those 40 Dark Side / Light Side bosses?

Soloed about 25% of the 40 kills. 

 

Edit: from 60% to 25%

% too high

I have also just noticed that some of the season 7 achievements, I e. Titles and mounts aren't in the reward track. Vendor only. Previous seasons had 1, maybe 2 mounts you had to use your tokens on. 

I guess it's one way the veteran players get to finally spend some tokens.

They do that every season usually. This season, there are 2 brynjak mounts with slightly different skins and 3 titles exclusively available from the vendors. If you want to collect everything, make sure to buy these before season 8 starts.

Season 7 Exclusive Vendor Items
Ki’at Thavo
Huntstalker Brynjak - 3 Season Tokens - Mount
Title: Bane of the Outer Rim - 3 Season Tokens - Character Title
Title: Bounty Wrangler- 3 Season Tokens - Character Title
Title: Hutt's Favorite- 3 Season Tokens - Character Title

Jaleit Nall
Furious Brynjak - 3 Season Tokens - Mount

Furious Brynjack is not currently available, probably because it is available in Group B or Group D. It's currently Group A, so it should appear tomorrow on Tuesday.

All the players in the area were not grouped so a group of solo players.

That doesn’t equal “I soloed the boss”.  You still relied on others to kill the bosses which was my point. If you were the only person there, you would not have killed the boss.

That is correct. My responding post to yours was in regards to your "you are required to group with others" comment. At no point during the DvL farming was "group with others" necessary, or a listed requirement of the achievement.

That is very much splitting hairs. That's like saying you don't need a group to do a world boss, so long as 8-16 other people are there.

That's where I think they really should add to Events specifically the Nar Shaddaa Night Life "Casino" Event, though possibly a few others...

Don't want one limited time event to replace earning those items, with yet another activity that occurs once.
