DrunkenGarbageCan posted: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. That's why I still play here and there (and actually the only reason I started given that I swore off MMORPGs after an EverQuest addiction). I stay subbed because $40 every three months is really nothing if I get one or two nights a month of fun. I'm just saying everyone doomsaying the game, well, the landscapes changed.

We haven't raided regularly in 3 years now. Sometimes we'll get a spark of interest and 3-4 people will show up regularly, but that never lasts long and no one ever wants to do anything difficult

Along with yelling at people who complain about how terrible Galactic Command is that they don't need gear for anything but hard mode raiding and then your gear comes from raiding.

Chickenwalker posted:How is anyone looking at this as a positive when it clearly means the game is getting ready to "go live on a farm?" It's old, it's tired, it's dying, nobody loves it anymore. I know some of the devs are with us here but the direction the game is going in honestly feels like they're putting a pillow on its face out of mercy. The game has been like this since 2014. Knights of the Fallen Empire drove the people who wanted a MMORPG away as it focused on story. I really wish I could see the numbers, because I have a feeling that it was way more successful than a lot of people think it was BECAUSE it was essentially a single player game. I genuinely think their business model has been focused on short term subs - people log on, play the new story, dink around a bit and then unsubscribe. Server merges have been needed for YEARS if the game has any hope of retaining any people that do want to play the MMO content. They're taking a huge chance by not releasing an official expansion this year, especially with The Last Jedi there to boost interest in Star Wars anything. Instead the new producer is delivering some actual multiplayer content - GSF map, PvP map, a couple new Flashpoints, and slowly releasing an Operation a boss at a time (which is going much slower than it should, but at least they're doing it). Putting everyone on mega servers will give the people asking for them a chance to vote with their wallets - if they don't see the subs come back for the new multi-player content, I suspect they'll move back to story content. I think 3.0 was really a giant test for raiders. It was the last "traditional" expansion the game has had. Ravagers and ToS are the two hardest Operations, and I would be willing to wager a large sum of money that very few people touched the Hard Mode versions, and that the numbers showed that more people ran alts through the SoR story mode. They even gave you the option at the end of the expansion to end with a raid, or end with a solo option. If that isn't a poll of what players want to do in game than I don't know what is.  I don't think the game is in maintenance mode, we'll see small bits of new content for a while, but it's never going to be a major MMORPG that people grind away at two nights a week doing Nightmare raids. It's still my go to "I'm drunk and it's too early to go to bed so maybe I'll just do some PvP" game, which is easily worth the sub.

Cythereal posted:Not everyone. I felt the story took a nosedive with Knights of the Fallen Empire, which is what's keeping me away and from reading the official forums I get the feeling I'm not alone. I got into TOR because of the places and ways it departed from traditional Star Wars ideas and storytelling - the light side Sith Warrior, the dark side Smuggler, the Imperial Agent in general. Yeah I liked it but didn't love it. Definitely didn't enjoy it enough to do it more than once. But I suspect that the majority of players liked it, and the numbers more than likely support it.

Chickenwalker posted:I don't need to be right here so don't take this as argument, but how is a server merge an infrastructure spend? They don't have the numbers anymore so they are downsizing the infrastructure by putting everyone on fewer servers in fewer regions. There's been a bunch of server crashes over the last 6 months. In the road map discussion they brought up that they invested a fair amount of money on beefier machines. It stands to reason that if they were truly going into maintenance mode, they wouldn't upgrade their hardware.

So...something for the few goons that still play to think about for the next month or so - That's No Goon has been effectively a dead guild for the last few years. With the server merges coming, I'm wondering if we should - a) Try and recruit non-goons to our guild and build it up. b) Find another better established guild to merge with c) Leave it as is, knowing it's primarily just a place to park your characters. The primary reason for TNG over the last few years has been to have a place to chat with Goons while you're playing - but lately there hasn't even been that much chat. And with Discord going, we'll always have a place to talk. Any goons in active guilds on Ebon Hawk or Shadowlands?

It would be harder for people who don't have him as a companion, but still possible - they'd have to preview a Skadge customization and then preview the outfit they want, but hey, maybe it'd work.

Dick Trauma posted:Crafting sure has changed. Is it still mostly useless? I think after they sucked the life out of it I switched most of my characters to gathering. Crafting has gotten significantly easier, with a simplified reverse engineering process that removes a lot of the risk of losing the item you're reverse engineering. Ultimately it's really just a good idea to have a crafter of each type to create your own supplies. Other than that Biochem is the go to skill to have again since there are reusable Stims, Adrenals and Medpacs at 70 again.

The robot in Story Mode Flashpoints is all roles simultaneously, he tanks, heals and does massive DPS. Your probably just didn't notice he was healing you. . When you do those you should put your companion on DPS since Jesus Bot is a HP sponge

M_Sinistrari posted:It's even more insane when you end up with two Jesusbots. I was running a story flashpoint with my fiance and I guess we both clicked solo out of habit and we ended up with two of them. It was practically walk along and loot with maybe firing off a blaster or throwing some lightning just to feel like we weren't a burden on the bots. Yeah when Shadow of Revan launched a group of 4 of us goons found we could run the solo mode Flashpoints together. Imagine 4 players and 4 Jesus bots. The dual bosses in Battle of Rishi barely moved before they were dead.

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. I captured some stats for my Gunslinger in poo poo gear and in ~243 gear. I really just want to say - "In a perfect world, wearing this gear which has these stats, your average damage over 100 hits will be this because your Critical % is X, Critical modifier is Y, etc etc" Is there a nice simple formula I can plug those numbers in for an excel equation because I have nothing better to do when working?

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. Pretty much for sub level 70, yeah. They might pick up after server merges, but overall leveling is so fast not too many people bother with warzones. Which is a shame because sub 70 PvP can be really fun.

DrunkenGarbageCan posted: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. 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.

I said come in! posted:Okay? But you're still seriously wrong. hobbesmaster posted:But how many shiny new ones are from raids? Defeating a NM raid when current gave you a title in this game previously but that requires you to have high end raid content.... This is the point. The game really doesn't have a lot of rewards for just playing the game. It would be nice if they added something to chase after that wasn't cartel based. More rare spawns like the CZ-198 Desler.

I like the game for what it is but it's like playing KOTOR1/2 for years and never stopping. Gross. Well without knowing how much of the story you've done, tough to say you've missed anything. Did you do all 8 class storylines? All planetary arcs on both imperial and Republic factions? Both Makeb storylines? Shadow of Revan? KOTFE and KOTET? Iokath and Umbara? All the old mini areas like CZ-198, Oricon and Section X?

If you're true F2P or it's been years since you played, they're giving away the first two expansions for a few weeks. F2P people will get a level cap raise to 60.
