The original Class stories crafted around different approaches to your character (everyone's not commander shepard like KotFE/ET) The social aspect/guild stuff. The classes themselves, class visuals / animations / VA. Crafting a SW character. I don't RP but I do put some thought into who my characters are. Ex. BH is an ex-LEO. So she's a bit renegade but still pretty lightside, disgusted by and intolerant of the more powerful criminal elements and wanton cruelty she has to deal with from the empire. Star Wars (a major reason I play an mmo at all...if there were a star wars soulsborne-style game I might be gone) I enjoy conquest, competing with guildies and such. Raiding when it's led well is a high point. When raid leaders can't communicate clearly, not so much fun. FPs when they are not ridiculous *cough*Blood Hunt veteran - knockback into lava*cough* but I can filter undesirables so meh Events and other Reputation acquisition missions are fun. I like building rep for collecting all the good dye recipes and such so I can provide them for guildies when needed. This past week I really enjoyed dive-bombing groups on the fleet and exploding in a green cloud of infection. The best perk of owning the collector's edition so far. The broad array of armor designs. Some of them are not to my taste but many parts and pieces work well together. It's a lot of fun to craft unique outifts. The sex appeal. Not the people running around in bra and panties (though I don't really have a problem with them) but the options to get a bit sexier looking than star wars usually is outside of ROTJ first act. Having piles of Alacrity. My mara looks like she's on meth when she fights and that's a lot of fun. Strongholds but (TANGENT) I feel like it's limited since virtually no one gets to see them. The guild has one and that's the one we use for anything social. I've been in 2 other people's SHs in the entire time I've played. Seems like a missed opportunity but I'm not sure what the solution is. I know you can visit almost any SH you want from the SH terminals, but I've only tried that once or twice, no real point walking around a strange SH. I also rarely leave the first room of any of mine since I put my holds and vendors all near the spawn point. I dunno. I like em, but I don't really feel like there's a great way to utilize them. Maybe if you could raid them somehow...fight battles in them, get invaded or infested and have to defend and maybe even in the bigger ones get infested by a WB level opponent that requires a group to take down, have an event around them, something to utilize them beyond just being where I sell and store my stuff. The way they are now, most of mine could be one room and I would barely notice a difference.

Right now, changing to an alt completely resets all the blue/purple objectives. This seeeeeeeems to indicate they are supposed to be once per day per char. However, I have no idea! The explanation that they are once per day per legacy seems not to match the reality at all.

Actually, they can copy a loot table that already scales to different players and classes then tweak the content. I know you can do stuff like that in other game dev software, no reason they shouldn't have something as robust.

Fun and Rewarding are the watch words of gaming. RN a lot of older content is fun...but not very rewarding. I have a seeker droid mission that's threatening to reward me with a level 50 belt. Uh, no. I can kill one champion and outdo that reward and xp.

Did the WB objectives for Conquest and got a +7 endurance lightsaber crystal. Guh!? 7 years ago that might have been nice, but these day it just tells me there's no reason to hunt WB unless it's a conquest objective. Give them something nice, I don't care. Command XP boosts, gold gifts, purple crates, unassembled parts, purple mats, or semi-decent looking shells. But something better than obselete leveled loot from 7 years ago.

Is there a thread about how broken the blue/purple repeatables are this week?

Something about Alts annoy the crap out of the devs. They constantly make changes that show they find all the things that alts can help you achieve to be troublesome. I think something about the limited character slots F2P players have, means they design the game with maybe two characters in mind and people who have been playing for years can have 15 to 30 active characters, which screws all their calculations up when implementing anything new system-wise. So they just gimp alts in the system, ignoring the fact that their monthly paying customers pay partly to have more alts.

But what about the subtle psychological reward of taking advantage of an exploit? "Haha, it says weekly but I do it daily! I'm such a rebel!"

Okay, your initial posts made it sound like you had an OCD need to do them. I would be fine with them being weekly simply because I have 5 alts and could do the ones I like each day on one of them. There is certainly an argument that could be made that making them daily means there are chinese guys who do it for a living running 20 alts through all of them every day so they can sell gold for cash.

I'm having an "I can't even" moment.

You don't have to do them all. Why would the fact they're reset daily mean you somehow have to do them all?

I gotta say, this is a broke I don't want fixed.

I think if the point rewards per activity don't improve then interest will wane further and further, simply because it's not as rewarding to cap CQ goals, goal to goal, per toon, or guild wide. And game players play to have fun and be rewarded.

We checked the numbers, a third of our points (in our case about 220-300k) came from the bug. I assume every guild's point totals were similarly affected and some who met the minimum on the small planet would not have without those free world boss points.

I capped one toon but I was logged in on an alt when the bugged points came through, so I have one toon capped and one toon with like, 6k. I had 400k the week before on my legacy. This week, 27k.
