Maybe bad luck or just being bad for this week? ONLY bug that my guild faces on Nightmare Soa that really sucks, but we still down him is when the pylon clearly hits Soa's bubble, but does not pop it. Other than that your raid should easily breeze through that fight even if tank(s) are being thrown in a mindtrap.. On P3 have BOTH tanks hump each others hip incase one gets thrown into the mindtrap and still easily control Soa...

I suggest having your tank(s) sit out and bring in 6 DPS and 2 heals. For Nightmare you HAVE to do that comp until everyone is in full Rakata and you can get away with dropping DPS little by little to resume the usual 2 tanks 2 heals 4 DPS. Bonethrasher imo is the only challenging boss on Hardmode AND Nightmare mode because he is a straight up DPS race. On Nightmare once Bonethrasher dies, it is clear sailing.

I for one am glad they're ignoring all the SGRA crap. I would rather them implement and answer questions that mean more than SGRA in an MMO. I for one give kudos for BioWare for dishing awesome answers and picking good questions weekly and I am stoked to see what the Guild Summit has to offer!

Hello my fellow SWTOR lovers. My guild <Desiderium> from The Shadowlands PvE created a quick montage of us running 16 man HM Karagga's Palace. This is our first video and we will soon release how-to's and strats and just vids of X or Y boss not a whole montage of the complete Ops. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXycxJRbIqg

Alright my MMO resume is huge and I play/played multiple MMO's at any given moment. DAoC - 7 years. Absolutely LOVE the game, miss the old days of old emain, and so on. My first MMO, and will still hold the crown for the all time best PvP game out there. Warhammer - 1 Year. Good game, just wish it was Dark Age of Camelot 2. Vangaurd - 20 Days. I hated this game with a passion. City of Heroes - 1 year. Fun game, just got VERY boring and repetitive once you reached max level, and the only thing to do was roll another toon. Aion - 11 Months. Awesome game, I don't mind grind. PvP was fun until Rifting got the nerf, and fort raids in the Upper Abyss became meh. Guild Wars - On and Off over the course of 3 years. It's my greatest fear with GW2 because F2P MMO's usually get boring after the newness wears off and with the whole dynamic content GW2 has it will have the Rift effect where people skip rifts or other events in GW2 come week 2. Rift - 6 Months. Awesome game, I had a hard time accepting the fact that they nerfed hardmodes come release and quit for a month when they did that only to return and enjoy raids and PvP. Age of Conan - 1 Years. Awesome graphics, good gameplay. Game got old once you hit cap. WoW - 3 Years. Raiding was fun until they catered to the casual crowd. Come WotLK and Cata game is now pathetic and will only get more pathetic. SWTOR - Day One - Present. This game rocks, I just hope they up the difficulty in Ops considering my guild is now 5/5 Nightmare EV and working on Karagga's Palace. Only real challenge in Ops are the extremely annoying bugs, and lackluster mechanics bosses have. Leveling is really fun, and crafting is just awesome! My faith in SWTOR is high, and I hope 1.2 and onwards offers that nice challenge most raiders want in an MMO.

I might get flamed for this, but I will be fine. Will or do you guys think future Ops will offer a more challening experience? When BioWare released the 4 new bosses in Karagga's Palace they offered a nice twist and somewhat challenging obstacle that you had to overcome and execute perfectly. I absolutely LOVE how Karagga is designed and when you kill/attempt him on Hardmode/Nightmare mode for 16 man it's super fun times. My only gripe is the content at hand is somewhat easy to an extent, and I would like to see more challenging fights in the future. I absolutely love this game, and all the hate towards it disgusts me because people overlook things too much, or want everything thrown at them. BioWare I give you props for what you are offering, but I would give you a huge /brohug for more stellar and challenging content in the near future!

Are future and upcomming Ops going to be slightly more challenging? By that I mean more unforgiving things to not stand in, or complex puzzles and such. I noticed when you released the new bosses in Karagga's Palace have some unique and slightly complex strategies which were awesome.

Yeah I don't understand how people whom are 50 state that they're bored. Most don't specify that they attempt or do Hardmode Ops or even Nightmare. The challenge is there, just needto unload the DPS and kind of sort of move out of something, or position you and the raid just right

Alright i'll play along. I want harder Ops. Fast enrage timers and more health kind of get boring once you surpass hardmode and into nightmare. I do love the puzzle bosses and can't wait for the future, but I really would like bosses to have more mechanics that are unforgiving and require more awareness. Atleast for Sarg and Jorno in Karagga's when Jorno hops on the top of the door pannels he fires down a nasty and speedy volley that wrecks an individual whom stews in it for more than a second. I am sure BioWare is aware of simple content and will slowly make future bosses hard, but for the time being what is got is 'ok'. Edit: I am NOT bored. I been 50 since December 27th and still loving every minute of my one and only 50.

I'm giving SWTOR a 8.5/10. Reason is simple, this game is new and awesome, but like ANY new MMO bugs are going to be there. It takes time and patches to make all these bugs go away. BioWare is doing a stellar job at removing all these bugs, and I appreciate what they're doing. Like many 50's saying raids are bugged yes I agree, we ran into the bug on hardmode EV when Soa had one of the floor pieces missing when we wiped the first time. Granted it is unfortunate but all you can do is report it and move on. I think people had their hopes WAY too high for SWTOR, and that is why the backlash from all the whiners is crazy atm. People need to deal with it, report what is happening, and move on. Simple as that. I don't care if you and I and many others are paying customers, don't expect a stellar product on a newly released MMO. -Cadedrik

Try hardmode OP if normal is on farm. I'm sure you guys atleast have 3/5 Columi or Tionese gear equipped.. Attempt hardmodes now. It's what my guild is doing. HM Kaon Under Siege drops TWO Columi Headpieces...

How are you bored sir? Have you cleared EV and Karagga's on HM and NM? I think not. Content is quite abundant, I think you just havnt stepped foot in it yet... Just my 2 cents sir..

Dude you don't know real PvP. DAoC offered 8V8 in certain area's IE Agramon. Which was a island connecting the three sides on one big island. Also if your 8 man was good enough you could roll up on a zerg of what 50+ and own them? That my friend is real PvP that requires SKILL not a stat like Resil, or Expertise.

Am I really reading people saying that WoW of ALL games is the best MMO that offers competitive PvP? Oh my god. You people that PvP NEVER heard of Dark Age of Camelot. That game is REAL PvP, or well RvR ( Realm vs Realm ). DAoC has THREE realms, and 30+ classs. That game my friends is the grandfather of PvP MMO's.

I'm going to come out and say that I don't care for high res textures in cutscenes because and yes I am going to get flamed for it, but I skip every cutscene unless it's a class quest because I only want to know where I got to go, what I got to collect, and how many things do I need to slay. I would like to have them outside of cutscenes, but as many have stated this being a AAA MMO, and a high budgeted MMO they should atleast have an "option". I built my high end PC for one thing, beautiful performance and looks. I absolutely LOVE SWTOR but it does leave a bad taste sometimes when I look around and the textures are ho-hum and meh all around. Yeah the cutscenes look cool and all, but once I am outside of them my gear/partys gear looks like crap, and makes me depressed a teeny tiny bit inside. BioWare I hope you add a "feature" that enables users to either check or uncheck High Res Textures. -Cadedrik
