I'm glad that I've decided to go with the agent for the post-50 Imp content, because Makeb's storyline feels like it was written specifically for them. Is there just a shitton of unique dialogue for each class or something? I find it pretty hard to imagine anyone else fitting in so easily as a commander.

Now all I've got left is the SoR content and I'll finally be able to try out that shiny new eternal empire poo poo.

Adding to the list of undocumented changes the credit rewards from Heroics was nerfed by about 60% from 18,345 at 65 to 7,345.

Love that this is technically going to be a good thing in the long run to curb the post 4.0 mega inflation but coupled with the jacking of hypercrate prices it's going to cause some major complaining.

Light Side Inquisitor does pretty well too, since they have their own power base they order around on a fairly regular basis. Dark side too, probably, but with more lightning.

Plus it might encourage people to group more for the bonus. I stopped counting the amount of times I've asked people to group with heroics while in zone only to be ignored and see them basically running side by side with me. Don't they like money?

No it won't. People that didn't want to group for 15k credits per person aren't gonna group for 7k. They'll just skip the bonus objectives. :)

Especially since apparently Musco mentioned that any change not explicitly mentioned in patch notes is a bug fix, so this implies the credits were a bug.

Hey folks,

I just wanted to pop into the thread and confirm that the Heroic Mission Rewards were reduced. This wasn't intended to be a "stealth change," but it was missed from the patch notes and we apologize for that. We are working on getting it added to the notes soon.

Sorry for any confusion.

It's their JOB to be thorough in the patch notes. And I think decreasing credits earned in heroics is one that might not want to be omitted.

I believe I've hit my breaking point. I've been a loyal subscriber since the game started. Stuck through all the BS they have pulled the last few years. But, I am DONE.

This game just isn't worth all the crap they put us through anymore.

I do the bonus objectives for XP. Although the last time I did one of those multi-stage bonuses, the final stage was something like 1XP. That was a let-down.

HAhaha you really raised your influence level to 50 with SCORPIO? I'm surprised it took this long for her to betray you. Even in the IA storyline she talks about how she would murder you if her programming allowed it.

Just the simple fact that this was titled the Gemini Deception should have clued you in. :D

Bit bummed that it was pretty straight forward. A few nice mini-puzzles that essentially boiled down to "Don't stand in fire". I didn't see any secret achievements or anything, the bonus mission just rewarded credits. Oh well.

I wonder if they're setting this up for Season 2 to be SCORPIO and Vailyn BFFs against the world.

Also, from what I'm hearing the nerf to heroics was for the base credits only? The bonus credits are still there? Then why are people whining?

This is probably a really dumb question but I have a bunch of cartel armor sets sitting around from discontinued packs, and the pieces for all of them are now a trillion credits, there's absolutely no way to get the individual pieces to another character if I want to use them as outfit stuff right?

Well, if the pieces aren't bound to a character, you can mail them. If they are, you would need to complete the full set on that character, and then you could unlock it account-wide in collections and make copies for all your other characters. But you can't just take the boots off one guy and mail them to another. You can do that with legacy gear, but not cartel market gear.

Yeah, most people should have seen this coming a long while ago. My only problem with it is that it now means any of the original 'safe' companions from pre-kotfe could now screw you over regardless of your choices, which is a bit off.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is either a double heel turn and she comes back to help you in the climax of chapter 16 or they give you a Gemini droid with her basic personality.

I got 1365. Although that wasn't on my IA, who's the one with rank-50 Scorpio.

I think I out-clevered myself -- I was convinced that Scorpio was going to turn out to have been compromised by her brief inspection of the Gemini system, and it was going to take control of her. Did not enjoy that three-way choice right before the end, though. :mad:

And if we end up having to team up with that shithead Arcann to beat Scorpio, I will pitch such a fit. :rant:
