I have the same issue on both DM and SS servers. The normal ping to DM for me is 20ms, SS 60. Today the ping to DM is between 120 and infinite, SS 120 to infinite. Defo issue at Biofail end.

The fall from grace (200 > 17 > 5) is not due to conquest it is a compound from all of the inept decisions made by BW/EA from 2011 to 2018. 1st drop of players was due to lack of end game content. F2P brought some players back 2nd big drop was to drip release KOTFE/KOTET over 2 years, which required grind of old content to unlock 20+ new companions which are lifeless versions of the original companions. 3rd massive drop was the 5.0 aka RNG® is exciting Command Rank grind This is where we are now @ 5 servers world wide from 200 @ launch. At no point has the development/game design team accepted any culpability of their poor design choices, and their hubris seems to force them to double down on EVERY major bad design choices. There were other evacuations, i.e. PvP server death spiral because of redesign of all servers having PvE and PvP instances, promoting players to leave the PvP servers in droves leaving them as ghost towns. Everything is always players fault, for not playing the way the grand design is dictating. All the best

I only started doing group activities because of conquest, before conquests I was only a solo player, doing the class stories. Since most of the conquest targets are now legacy locked to one per day, and my alts can't contribute to conquest at all after the legacy lock kicks in. I stopped playing alts, and when I saw how miniscule the rewards were from the few repeatable activities I stopped playing completely. My sub ran out on 30th Mar, I did not renew it (don't know how I am still able to post without active subscription). Because of these legacy locks I cannot contribute to both Imp and Rep guilds, I have no idea how BioFail imagined these changes would be perceived as positive. I work for a living and play games to relax, not to have another full time job in order to complete conquest target points. I can only see one goal BioFail is trying to achieve with doing orbital strike to conquest system, than to de-incentivise people from playing the game so that they can shut the servers down sooner. However this seems to be the normal behaviour from BW, orbital strike first, then slow walk changes back in 6 to 12 months. All the best for those that can after the absolute destruction of the conquest system.

/Agree 100%

It appears that their plan is to slow walk the changes back to 50% of pre 5.8 system during 2018, as they have no developers left to do the changes or create new content. Smilar what they did with the previous dumbster fire aka 5.0. All the best for people that have plans to stick with BioFail during the latest kerfuffle.

Erm, no it is not, the base game is PvE: - class stories - OPS - FPs PvP was always the red-headed step child that caused the class nerfs under the guise of balancing.

I have made a bug report regarding the Makeb Staged Weekly multiple times, this just shows that all the bug reports kist go directly to shredder, nobody reads them at BW.

Very well presented circle of destruction pattern for BW previous track record.

No, there is 3 tier conquest target: If you are invading a planet, target is x amount of guild conquest points, if the guild meets that target, all members that have achieved their personal goal will receive guild rewards as well. Only the 1st place on each planetary tier awards the conqueror title faor daid planet.

So basically what you are saying: Pick one character and one faction to participate in conquest. If we have characters in Imp and Rep guilds, tough luck, take it or leave the game. Thanks a lot, why did you have the Light vs Dark, create gazillion alts and grind old content event? Why do we even have legacy and alts? If we can't participate conquest for benefit the guild with alts, we might as well delete them.

Patch Notes 5.8a General Planetary Yield targets for Guild Invasions have been reduced for all sizes: Small is now 200,000 (down from 460,000) Medium is now 550,000 (down from 1,380,000) Large is now 1,130,000 (down from 2,530,000) The Personal Conquest target is now 15,000 (down from 20,000).

Flashpoints + Operations + Uprisings Operations Reduced the damage of the Energy and Amplifier Drones for the 16-player Story Mode Izax encounter.

No, the GF OPS do not pop, the PUG OPS runs are pre-built on the fleet and then queued through GF, but other than that the answer is no. I have played the game since the GF was put into the game, and I have not had any pops in it ever. As a DPS toon, getting MM FP is hard enough to get a pop, some times you get a pop in 10 min and other times you do not a get a single pop in 4 hours. It is slightly better after the server merge, before that you might have gotten 1 pop in a week (EU side). Usual way to run the MM FP is to build the group in guild chat and then queue. This varies depending on what time of the day you are queuing, if you tend to play outside of peak time then getting a pop is harder. US side it is easier to get a pop off peak time than EU. On EU server my ping is 20ms and US east coast 80ms, it does not adversely effect PVE too much.

You are forgetting that Xeno is once per legacy per week, once you have done that with once toon, no one else from the same legacy will get conquest points from it during the Gree event.

The reason this was not mentiopned is that no one at BioFail had any idea what tne patch contained, some clueless intern wrote the changes by instructions: change Conquest somehow. Add to this; no testng done by anyone. Result: Chaos, bugs and mayhem.

So what you are saying is that the full Conquest revamp will be completed by end of December 2018, same as the Command fiasco of 5.0
