Medullah posted:Well if anyone in TNG has Biochem 700 I can make the reusable Critical and Fortitude Stims, and the reusable Critical and Absorb adrenals. Will probably grab the medpac and Versatile stims tomorrow, basically two runs of the new FP in story mode for 3 schematics. Just need an Iokath recombinator. Whoo boy Master Mode Umbara is no joke. The Rishi Walker's got nothing on that Spider Tank. Ossipago posted:It helps if you just view everything post-class stories as fan fiction. Makeb was ok and I really enjoyed SoR. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they got a new head writer between SoR and KotFE. The guy who was responsible for the oh so mediocre Trooper storyline.

Airspace posted:Hey, The Trooper storyline was fun! Havoc should have betrayed at the end of Act 1 after building a rapport with them, then it would have had punch. Nobody cares about prologue chars you've known for an hour betraying you. And the final boss is the worst. Medullah posted:Yeah I haven't run it yet but I'm guessing those abundant explosive tanks aren't there for show. Fire patches that do about 30% a tick. A dozen plus adds spread every ~15% that insta target the healer, are ranged, and spread out. An unavoidable instant laser that does 30-60k AND knocks down. An AoE missile strike that does 50k+. All in a wide open area where everyone's running around like headless chickens.

Preechr posted:Lana is the loving worst at her job. I will never regret telling her that her incompetence threatened the Empire on Ziost. Which is funny because up until Ziost she was built up as an ultra-competent and pragmatic Sith. I give her a bit of a pass on Ziost since that's more Pub incompetence than hers. Between Ziost and KotFE she must took a few hard blows to the head cause her character does a 180. Also as hard as the last boss in MM Umbara is the first three are easy...me and a Sniper friend duo'd them with comps.

Medullah posted:There's a good bug today where Planetary missions that are daily areas (Ziost, Yavin, CZ-198, etc) are giving the bonus planetary CXP award for each mission. Just did Black Hole and gained 11 levels in 12 minutes. I wonder if this has anything to do with Heroics being the bonus for the day because they definitely weren't like this yesterday.

Medullah posted:You very quickly get vote kicked. As a Healer or Tank I would just leave myself. Insta-queues are nice like that. What I've started doing is if people don't spacebar I not only don't spacebar but don't make choices either, just let them time out. Meanwhile watching Netflix til convo is over. People get really super mad but they also usually start spacebarring.

Medullah I've been playing around on my Operative and something they need is for Curative Agent to allow Kolto Probes to be cast on self without breaking stealth, keep the Infusion change and chunk the two-probes-at-once-nonsense.

Among the other bugs the lowbie Weekly for PvP is the lvl 70 one again so it's worth quite a bit of XP.

Iokath dailies back to regular CXP lvls tomrrow, the rest next Tuesday. Can't complain was fun while it lasted.I said come in! posted:Thank you! I had always thought all of the Flashpoints were available, but turns out that is not true. At least the new Flashpoint is available though! FP's relevant to the main story got solo modes the ones that are glorified sidequests did not.

Haha holy poo poo the bugs.... All vendors broken, galaxy map broken, Cartel Market broken, mission tracker broken, buff/debuff icons gone. Just got a going down for maintenance message so my guess is 5.4a rolling back.

hobbesmaster posted:I pulled threat (hatred sin) on the annihilator droid. We spend 5 minutes on some ridiculous jumping skip to the lava cave. Gharj was constantly cleaving the raid. I was one of 3 people alive when Soa died. The majority of Tanks are trash and unlike Heals and DPS you don't have other players to hide behind. For EV HM runs I usually just solo heal it and run sans Tanks, a single Taunt capable DPS works fine. As for Soa people got used to doing it overleveled and never learned proper mechanics i.e. destroying the pylons on the way down.

Medullah posted:The game is great for small bursts. It just doesn't have the appeal to keep playing repeated endgame content like WoW does. I was cutting edge in WoW up through WotLK but quit the week after downing LK and haven't logged in since. Haven't tried FF14, the FF brand is a negative for me and I'm told the PvP is garbage. I can run the NiM Ops in my sleep but the PvP is still great. I've also enjoyed the direction the game has been going these last 8 months as well. The bottom line though is the Star Wars license guarantees ToR a niche. WoW may dominate ToR but Star Wars is THE franchise.

Medullah posted:I'm pretty excited about Server Merges. I play with some people on Shadowlands so it'll be nice to only have one group. West coast best coast.  quote:Legacy Perk – For each character that reaches Command Rank 300, we will automatically add an additional 25% bonus CXP to your entire Legacy up to a maximum of 100%. You do need to purchase the initial 25% perk, but the additional 75% will be free. And, YES, this Perk is retroactive, so you will immediately benefit once we deliver United Forces Foundation. My idea was to add UC's to Heroics but this works too. I think I've got 8 Rank 300 chars at this point and a few I don't want to PvP on are stuck on the 248 grind. This also helps my 4 full-248-in-every-spec chars who have been maxed on UC's for awhile. Looks like quite a few good changes.

Medullah posted:Wait I missed cross server. Really? quote:To deliver these benefits together in one update we will connect multiple servers in each region together, uniting players across the galaxy. By joining servers as United Forces, grouping becomes easy and queues for your favorite Flashpoints, Uprisings, Missions, Warzones, Arenas, Galactic Starfighter, and Operations should be much faster. Here. It kind of sounds like it...or they could be talking about the merging of existing servers. Rereading it it sounds like the latter.

Investing in new infrastructure is pretty much the opposite of maintenance mode, if that were happening they'd just leave the servers as is to squeeze what few nickels they can out of server transfers. Meanwhile the devs would disappear from the forum as they are fired or reassigned rather than actively posting roadmaps with six months of plans. Also I think people who see ToR as barely profitable are really underestimating the Cartel Market and how much disposable income thirty-something Star Wars nerds have.

Dick Trauma posted:Are warzones dead? I had a mission to do one and I've been queued up whenever I'm on and one never pops. Lowbies are...since you don't get comms for doing them anymore there's no incentive unless you just really, really can't stand PvE. They pick up in Tier 2 lvl 41+, at least on Harby. Medullah posted:Hey DrunkenGarbageCan, you're pretty deep into the numbers game for SWTOR - I'm putting together some data to show that F2P people don't need to worry about getting 246 grade gear because I'm sick of people saying that solo players need top tier gear too. Not sure what your asking here or trying to prove. I guess you could figure the base value of the basic attack and go from there? If you're talking full rotations there are way to many variables I'd say.

Medullah posted:Yeah I might be overthinking it. I've just gotten into arguments on the interwebz with people about gearing. Especially on Reddit, where people constantly ask "What is the best way to grind CXP solo? I don't want to raid or PvP", and when people such as myself say "Then you don't need to grind CXP, your stats only matter in Hard Mode raiding or higher, and Ranked PvP. Get enough CXP to get your 230 set bonus and that's more than enough for dailies and flashpoints." "Look, some people just want the best gear possible!" I'm just trying to show people how much of an enormous waste of time it is to grind Galactic Command - the stats between a character in 230 set pieces with 228 everything else are marginally different than BiS 242+ when on a level synced planet or bolstered area. Remember friend need doesn't have anything to do with the carrot is a core MMO mechanic. It doesn't matter if only 0.0001% of WoW players are gonna see vanilla Naxx so long as the idea that maybe one day they could keeps them moving forward. That was on of they major problems with the KotFE/KotET era since the Chapters and gearing were so easy to blow through. From a dev point of view it doesn't matter if a player needs 248 to so long as they keep on the grind. Also dogs and fleas and such.

Also this is why I don't understand why ToR doesn't have a poo poo ton of titles and mounts like WoW. A title that probably takes an afternoon to implement could take a player days, weeks, or even months. Seems like a good return on investment to me.

I said come in! posted:That's fair, but the original argument was that SWTOR doesn't have any mounts, that's still not even close to true. I guess I worded it wrong. My point was the game needs subs and subs want content, however, the devs are never going to create story, raid, or PvP content as fast as players can consume them so titles are an easy way to create content with minimal investment. “Complete Dread Palace 25 times and get the Dread Lord title!” Bam an afternoon of dev time just created 6 months of content for raiders. My Sorc has every title but 3 and every mount and pet in the game so yes I know exactly how many there currently are.
