Yep, it bad. Last weeks dinky little patch took seconds up to 87% then took 12 hours to complete. 12 hours for 13% of a tiny patch!! What I don't get is its sucking all my bandwidth. It hangs with very little to go but I cant get some websites to load completely while its running. Try a video....for-get about it.

I can live with small minor annoyances, but after awhile when more are added than taken away it gets unbearable. Every patch I check the notes too see if anything is fixed but all I see are fixes to bugs I never knew existed. I'm about convinced they just make them up to say they done something. Anyway, what I'm rambling about the most is the long time now bug of NPCs falling through the terrain. SO ANNOYING!! I think this must be why they nerfed the game down to Hello Kitty easy because if it wasn't we couldn't rely on our companions to solo the fight we cant target anything on. I think every boss fight in this new expansion I had to try running away to get the bad guy to pop back up so I could make a couple hits before it disappears yet again. I want so very much to play in veteran mode but how can I? Veteran mode is like the game should be by default but no way when my character is looking at its feet while the bad guy under the floor is collecting my toes. How does anyone level as a healer? Companions are just as bad falling through the floor. You cant target them at all so how can anyone heal? With this new expansion came a new one for me. My companions cant even follow me down an empty street anymore. They are getting hung in terrain and get so far behind that I have to wait for them to warp to me. If I stop and wait on them I can see them running in zigzags trying to find a way through. All too often just as they almost catch up they do what? Fall through the terrain, you guessed it. Its so very annoying, and most annoying of all is I see nothing, zero, not a thing about anything being done. - UGH!

That did it, never gotten confirmation. Traveled to fleet, used the new chapter tab thing to go back and wammo, its extra supper stupid easy again. -Thanks

Went from story to veteran, met a fight I actually cant win since before the 4.0 great nerf, so tried going back to story mode but it is not changing. Relogged 3 times cause going to vet mode didnt work untill after relogging but stuck in vet mode now. Whats up?

Same here, It went fast up to 96% then supper slow-mo and I mean supper. From 96% to 97.9 in 4 hours. 4 hours!!

Ever-since the great nerf I've been looking for orange equipment that use to come as mission rewards but all we get is worthless green boxes with worthless green junk now. There use to be a pistol I liked that came from one of the Hoth heroics and I think one of the end of chapter rewards for bounty hunter but gone now and a sniper rifle that was from a Balmora heroic but not anymore. Cant even hope for getting lucky in the large loot chest scattered around worlds, just crafting junk from those now, so I don't even bother with heroics or chest anymore, they have become unrewarding and pointless anyway after the great nerf. But, what of all that orange and purple equipment we could get as rewards or loot? Where have they gone? I keep looking on the market but no, not there, not hiding them in chest cause they are only good now if you maybe try crafting anything.

Its not canceling, its subtracting. First time I give them the gift my influence does go up but the next time it does go back down. One strange thing is I do get the green fly text saying I've gained 500 influence with whomever every time I give them the gift but in the chat window it will say my influence has decreased -500 each time after the first time, and looking in my contacts tab it shows the decrease as well.

Ill try to explain this.... OK, when gaining influence with this alliance thing, those things we get in our inventory to give the hutt, smuggler, voss lady and that other dude never leaves my inventory after i give it to them. So, when i talk to them again I get the option to give them the gift which I do but it causes me to lose influence. Any influence I've gained is now lost but I'm instructed to give them the gift. I don't understand. Also I'm on the mission to recruit Bliz. I go out I find 14 salvage, I go back to Bliz, My options is (1) give Bliz 1 salvage, (2) give Bliz 5 salvage. I gave him 1 and then I gave him 5, worked great but I still have 8 salvage in my inventory so I try giving him more but if I do I lose all the influence I gained and those 8 other salvages do not leave my inventory. What is going on?

Unfortunately it appears we can't avoid it. I just returned to the game from a long absence and knew nothing of what they done with this "sync" stuff. All I want to do is start of a fresh character and do a full play-through but I'm not enjoying this at all. I'm running around in completely unmodded gear that should get me killed by the lowest of low but all I have to do is tap my basic attack or just let my companion one shot everything. Advice I've been given is nerf myself and my companion which I have but it makes no difference. I've played games in story mode that feel hardcore compared to this one now. Only advice I can give you is what I'm doing. Earn some credits, create some characters, let my sub expire and hope they didn't kill free to play.

Just got my ship at level 33 so just for kicks I went to Balmora, you know that planet where I should be at 33 and jumped one of those bug champs. The thing nearly killed me, my companion was flat on its *** and I was cussing the heal cooldown. So anyway, I'm about convinced this sync stuff, companion gods and paper NPCs might not be working as originally intended. If at level me and my companion have to work for a living but when grossly over we do the waltz like we're grossly overleveled then well yeah, the sync doesn't seem so synced at all. Wonder what they will tell me if I send a ticket......

Welp, looks like there's only 1 thing I can do to try making this fun again. Spend the rest of this month grinding creds, buy whatever unlocks I don't already have, build up my collections a bit, buy some armor dyes and whatever else , then unsub. I'm seeing people at level running around so I assume the game people didn't obliterate the F2P XP? What about this level syncing for F2P? I'm guessing the companions are still gods but i could at least make them just spam their basic attack. Gotta say this is the only game I've tried where I have to take the free version to make it fun.

Me being half leveled and don't even have my ship yet is only half my grief. What about the paper thin NPCs? Is it by design that I can play naked and elites fall at my feet in one shot? Maybe they should change the name to Star Wars the God Mode.

Been out for 1 1/2 years so I thought I might of missed a few things I would need a sub to get started, and I want to do a full play through again. But, holy Jabba farts, what gives with the XP? Some of these other nerfs I can live with but this XP is beyond insane. I can't even outlevel anything anymore? Half way through the 2nd planet , skipping all bonuses, I find myself at level 25? Also, are the NPCs all nerfed as well? I'm going in totally unmodded gear and they drop like bantha poodoo in front of me if I even bother to shoot cause my companion usually drops them before I even get a shot and that counts elites. I don't understand, not all of us are 12 yr olds. I like to challenge myself at least a little but this is no challenge at all. What do I have to do, unsub to have any fun in leveling or have they nerfed F2P as well? Anyways, sorry for the rant, had to vent, don't feel better though. I just don't get it at all.

I'm for an opt out/in to this double xp thing. Have yet to see from anyone why making it optional is a problem but plenty on being mandatory is a problem from some. Should be a very easy thing to do, xp buffs already exist so why not just add for free unlimited buffs to all the medbots throughout the game for a weekend? Easy to get to, quick to implement, makes everyone happy. How long as this argument been going and not a peep from Bioware about it? Space crickets but we're use to that i guess.

Someone tell me this is a troll thread, please tell me that. I mean, come on, no immersion? Seriously? So it's no skin off your backs when they add helmets with Mickey Mouse ears? Hell, this game copy/pasted everything possible from WoW so why not add new companions, one troll and one elf sounds good to me. It makes my eye roll enough wondering what speeder my companion is on when I'm on mine, and sith do not use blue lightsabers but to bash people wanting better immersion? Can any of you imagine what stupid things they can do if not at all trying to appease immersionhalics? Don't forget Disney owns the IP and we all know EA don't give a bantha paddy about anything as long it might make a buck. If you don't want immersion, why bother with a Star Wars game? Immersion is it's best selling point. No immersion indeed, pfft, troll thread its gotta be. Great maker, get these people out of the gene pool PLEASE!
