Yes and before the game was going broke. People leaving in droves, and they needed to keep the game afloat. The CM did just that. Sorry I say let it stay.

Long time player here. Been here since beta, and I say NO

Your opinion is wrong. The biggest problem with this game is content, for casual and especially Ops.

You must be a troll.

I had to repair yesterday so, don't know what to tell you.

Everyone is complaining about lvl sync and companions. But they aren't taking into account they they are a max lvl for the planet, which means there are very few Heroic 2s that they don't out level. When i was leveling, when the game first came out, I would finish the planet and go back and do the heroics since I always out leveled the content. If a planet has a level range of 36 to 42, you are a level 42. Not to mention you have more abilities than a character that would be normally on that planet. So if you are on a level 36-42 planet you still have the abilities of a 65. It's almost like everyone has forgotten what it was like to level a character, it's always been this way.

Well I tell you what, I just hit a Heroic +2 and let my companion tank the first mob solo. Would you like to know the results? Companion Death. Same thing happen on DPS mode and Healing mode. At influence 13 the companion died every time. So when you come here and write you can just let the companion do the job I don't believe you.

Nope just experience. Been playing MMOs since 2003, it's always the way I explained it. Careful what you wish for.

I haven't played with a DPS companion, but I can say with healing mode it isn't very over powered. On my tank I have hit a few situations where I needed a cooldown or two. Most I have seen in healing is a 5K heal out of treek who has the most influence.

And that is the problem, nothing is ever balanced, it's either nerfed to the ground or OP. I like the changes, keep them.

I love Treek as a companion pre 4.0 but since the xpac, while in combat, she says the same thing, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Please fix that before I run out in the street in my underwear saying nothing but that phrase.

Must only be you, because I haven't seen that.

As an AP I will give you the first 2, but then Powertech should be 3. Also the easy kiting isn't correct as well, it's hard to shake an AP.

For pvp sets you want the Combat Tech's set for Advanced Prototype. Once you get your 174 Dark Reaver set you will want to max/min it. I got away from crit because I use Aim augments and put more into power and surge. Others my argue with me but it's how I'm rolling.

I can't stand Huttball, I hope those servers that are home to huttball catch fire.
