The patch allowed me to finish the FP on my Sith Warrior but just barely. It still needs tuning, especially if there's a bug with the last boss respawning/restarting the fight. I didn't seem to encounter this bug luckily but I haven't yet run the FP on my other characters either so who knows, I might end up running into this bug which would be... very frustrating if so.
Very unsurprising though that a bunch of simps with too much time on their hands and probably obsess an unhealthy amount of willpower into games got nothing better to do than tell people to play the game better like they're making a valid point. Got your joy pill for the day beating some folks down for not playing exactly to your standards? Good for you, give yourself a gold star champ. Anyway.
Wasn't there always a extra companion that comes along in the story mode flashpoints? Like a droid that could be summoned? Or I might be thinking of the older FPs before Knights of the Fallen Empire and so on following. Either way, hope this FP's Story Mode gets tuned some more and that the other issue about this "Quick Play Mode" bug gets resolved soon.
