That makes no sense. All MM FPs except maybe 4 are soloable at ir 270. 306 is gear for NiM operations and ranked PvP. A group of 4 players dressed in 270 MUST clear all low effort content like MM FPs easily.

So i just did vet mode. Pyro PT in Meteor Brawler set with ir 276 augs. Companion of choice. - Gamorrean lvl 50 on heals. So i have mixed feelings. Runs from boss to boss take eternity. Alot of trash mob groups, that's not fun. You can remove 2/3 of them and it still will be alot. Bosses are quite boring and easy. You guys really need to add some special mechanics to every boss, especially first and second ones. Jumping puzzle is too easy (even i figured out what to do in like 45 seconds, and im not very smart), sniper trap is ok i guess. This FP can become something that i would love, something like Nathema. Which is, after we got Meridian that is basically Hammer Station 2.0, would be a nice thing. But each and every boss fight needs so little effort. That's not good.

That's the point of any PvP mode in any multiplayer game. You either get good or leave.

Darth Malgus server today, early morning for me, quite deep in the night for most of Europe. So me and my friend (im from Russia, he's from Germany), both GSF pilots first, decided to do something new together because Starfighter queue was ss good as dead already. And we queue for vet FPs. So here's the report how it went. First queue. Hammer Station. Me (skank tank PT at lvl 75 in nearly BiS gear for PvP tank), friend in his anni mara at lvl 73, sniper and jugg in their 75's. At first pull (the one with 2 big droids) siper dies, my friend dies, jugg survived with 5% health. Aside from that the run was perfectly fine and we did rest of FP under 10 minutes. Second queue. Hammer again. So it was us but this time with lvl 40-something mara and another mara in their 60-s. Okay, i thought, this should go well. I never was so wrong. 2 low lvl maras managed to die at almost every pull. They were always stealing first pull, never responded to chat, never even showed they read what we wrote in chat. In the end, one dies at turrets, one dies on the way to Kreshan. We 2-man the boss. Third queue. This time we got Nathema, and friend of mine already levelled to 75 by then but was in lvl 70 and below gear anyway. So it's me in my skank tank, one ungeared mara, dps merc dressed in BiS and a sniper dressed in 304 or so. And we went through this FP like a knife through butter, we did bonus boss and everything was fine until the death of that Scorpio-like boss. Then Vinn Atrius came in and we really suffered. It was my first time as tank in Nathema vet, so it was quite interesting. I died only 30 seconds before we could beat boss, my friend died from pushback earlier, so pugs did all work fir us in the end. And they were pretty good. It was interesting and fun play.

Alot of solo story players are f2p or preferred. That a fact. Because you don't really need sub to play solo, only a small percentage of solo players subscribe, ever. Also a fact: 100% of multiplayer people are subscribed, because you can't even play multiplayer content without sub. But on this forums we got a very vocal, very toxic minority of solo story players who are basically forbidding people who enjoy other content to play and enjoy the game. For the last 6 months or so their narrative was "Lmao play our way multiplayer peasant or leave". Now when situation is about to change not in their favour, they forgot their arrogance and trolling towards multiplayer people, they try to sound kind and pretending to be reasonable. Dear devs, please do not pay attention to this screeching. Remember who your playerbase really are. It's time to actually give people who play multiplayer content the rewards they deserve. Any other MMO values their actual subscribers more than solo story people who will probably never run 99% of content.

Aye, Vet FPs need some love. And Unranked PvP too.

Is this a mtf joke? You are buffing braindead solo activities YET AGAIN How about bringing something to multiplayer people? Like, the ones who actually pay for your game? There are alot of suggestions in this thread alone. If you'd care you'd read it. But aye. Feeding a companion is niw worth 2 GSF matches or 3 heroic missions. Guys, you are INSANE.

I actually agree. The most toxic part of SWTOR community isn't DK chat, ranked PvP or GSF aces. The most toxic part of community are "elitist forum veterans" who can be blatantly racist, nazist and just arrogant to players from non-english speaking places and can get away with this and BW just silently approves this BS. And now when said "elitist forum veterans" are able to farm good conquest they are indeed willing to not let any GSF or PvP peasant to ruin their order of things and their precious credits as long as they are able to farm millions and billions in by just running heroics and other braindead stuff on 30 chars. I say, lets get rid of forum toxicity! This place could be much better without toxic elitists.

Nah, i like this set and i will probably buy it, but if they ll add something on the back it will kinda ruin it for me. Just like Mando Stormbringer set, it's good except a nonsense jetpack on the back.

I've seen 5vs4 match once. And some 6vs5 ones too. Early morning queue on DM can sometimes give matches like that. Not sure if it's a bug or working as intended tho.

Aye. I agree that we need a carrot for new pilots. But at the same time we dont need an objective that would be farmed by decent pilots alot of times per match. Once per macth - sure, but if it will ding 4-5 times per match that would be weird. So, i say make it 8 medals, but with counter dont reset on match end. Make it some decent points, like 9500 (with full SH bonus) so new pilots do not feel like thair efforts are completely useless. Also, 8 medals is amount that not every average pilot is able to achieve in each and every match. For example, you can often see 12x12 DOM matches when even in winning team there are 1-2 pilots with 12 medals and more while others have like 5-6 too busy trying to get kills in middle of nowhere. Maybe this new conquest objective will make pilots play more "objectively" in DOM. We dont even need a tourney, just find 8 people ready and willing to install PTS and queue at the same time. Math is good but real testing is better indeed.

Conquer The Sky (play 1 match) is 5500 points, not 16500. Sorry if didn't wrote it clear enough, english isnt my first or second language.

Guess what? I hate doing story, heroics and dailies. But current conquest system FORCES me (and other ppl who are fed up with planetary tourism) to grind em if i want some decent cq points. Conquest system on PTS, howewer, is slightly better. But grinding heroics and dailies is still BY FAR the most efficient way to get conquest points. BY FAR This is plain BS and your opinion is irrelevant.

So now i was actually able to actually play on PTS, not just log in and see things. With total of 4 people max in Imp fleet i didn got any PvP pop, let alone GSF, of course. But i played 1 heroic nission on Hutta, a couple dailies on Rishi, dinged "defeat enemies" on Rishi and did 2 missions from new event and renown level up dinged 3 times. Hit 100k conquest in like 40 minutes. if iI would get GSF pops on PTS, it would be prolly this way: assuming it pops non-stop i would get 16500 conquest from "Starfighter: Conquer The Sky" x3 assuming i could win one match, it could give me another 9350 conquest points from "Starfighter: Dominate the Stars" i also could ding "Activity Finder" that gives another 21375 conquest points. That would be a total of 47225 conquest in 45 minutes* Not even on personal target. But maybe renown would ding once. Good attempt but no. Not enough. Doing dailies, heroics etc is still more than 2 times better conquest than doing GSF. *considering the matches popping non-stop like in prime time on DM and the matches being 14 minutes long

You guys are really weird. Right now people doing basically any non-solo content go to personal conquest targer in about 90 minutes. While people playing heroics and daily areas can bring 9-10 alts to conquest target in the same amount of time easily. So playing solo is currently FROM NINE TO THEN TIMES MORE REWARDING than actual group content. Dont you see anything strange in this? With Conquest system implemented on PTS it was already proven that average player can reach 500k conquest in 2,5 hours. 500000 In 2,5 hours This is actually Small Yeild Invasion rreward and it's perfectly reachable by just one person doing solo content in 2,5 hours. This is far more than any PvPer or GSF pilot or casual raider is able to get in a week. For god's sake just stop complaining, you all are ridiculous.
