IF i remember correctly tatooine is the way it is due to a world cataclysm, done by the rakatan empire eons ago. If you played KOTOR you might remember that.

Well i felt all the sacrifices made by characters in previous movies, were just made into window dressing for Rey. ´ Didn't like this movie just as i didn't liked this new trilogy.

Max affection is no longer related to companion conversation or quests. You just do them, depending on wich point you are in you class story. If you already did class story, you can talk to you companions, and finish their quests, to the max right on. You cant do that if you start KOTFE story. So be sure to do taht before you start the new story.

Yes lets blame the victim, always, because that is always the right thing to do.... Its because of things like this, slowly but surely people lose interest in the game. A part of it at least. For some reason the MMORPG genre is dying and in decline. And MOBAs are taking their place, for quite a while now.

Ahsoka left the jedi order.... kanan even stoped being a jedi fo a good while. ( he also never completed his training) As Obi wan says... from a certain point of view... you can say they are jedi because of their connection to the order ( once a jedi , always a jedi, if you folow that mentality) .... from another point of view, they arent realy jedi. Vader ordered the inquisitors to hunt the rebels down ( him and the emperor dont even mention the word jedi to refer to the rebels) , in hopes to track down Obi Wan for instance. It depends of the point of view realy. Is ventress still a sith? or an sith assassin? after she left dooku? I think not.

You are doing it wrong, or looking in the wrong place. it doesnt take that long to find it. In taris is only near the endar spire area, as soon you see it is within 15 or 10 meters, you just keep looking in that locale. I have done it several times with several toons of mine, it isnt that hard, nor it takes that long .

Such hate for Qyzen, i dont undesrtand. His story, is actualy pretty cool. People aparently are so spoiled, they dont even bother to read subtitles. It is just sad culturaly speaking.

OMG!!! there is an achievement if you do it solo. So it kind needs to be soloable, when you companion is max ranked, and you are well geared. ONLY IT ISNT ANYMORE!

Yes that is why im saying im not sure all the heroics where turned to Heroic 2+ But most of them where. I did the makeb ones recently, they were all heroic 2+, I did those with a guildie as you need another player at least for that one. Section X heroic, even if they changed it to heroic 2 + ( i dont know if they did) you still need 4 players to click the things, in the end. it has been so long since i did that one, so im not sure. At anycase the dificulty of the mobs werent a problem. Only clicking those stuff. The rest of the heroics, arent an issue.

For Heroic 2+ yes, it could always be soloable with a companion. For Heroic 4+ ( wich no longer exists i think) no, you actualy needed at least 2 players with companions. They turned all heroic 4+ to heroic 2+ for that exact reason. So yes for heroics companions would do fine. A player is always better in theory, but you could do fine with a companion. Belive what you will. You are simply wrong in this. You simply are viewing companions as pets, like in other games. Well they arent. They can, use CC, they can tank, they can heal they can DPS. Well or at least they used to. Even before KOTFE.

Even star fortress isnt doable with two players alone as it is meant to be ( maybe if one of the players is a healer). They completely broke the system with this patch. No one is denying that wasnt a problem, and that they didnt needed a nerf. However they didnt nerfed the companions, they made them irrelevant. Meaning The companions just dont heal at all. And in that situation you describe, your companion would die in 2 or 3 or 4 hits, without healing you squat. there is a line here, that needs to be walked. Not 8 or 80.

No It is heroic 2 wich where already soloable to high levels before KOTFE btw. So yeah they broke completely the concept with this patch. Look i dont care what you say. They need to buff companions. Maybe not at the level they were last week. But much more buffed then they are now. because as it is they are completely useless. Even for comon leveling on planets. And with that i mean , they dont add anything to the table right now.

What kind of argument is that? Just roll a 60 lvl character? you do know all it does is gives you a 60 lvl character? It doesnt give you any of the class content. Nor SOR ot makeb etc, nothing. It simply ignores class content previously KOTFE. Achievments included.... Im sorry, yes it is a problem. It might be one you can live well with it. Most of us simply dont. And you wrong. Heroics are actualy necessary to continue to progress your alliance. You dont even know what you are talking about here. You are just defending something, just for the sake of it. Btw my server has high population, and im in a guild. I did all, or most of heroics, back then when they where 4 man heroics. You just needed to do it once. But as it is now, they are grindy dailies needed for several reasons. one of them to futher and progress your solo alliance. Of course i team up with my guildies to do them. But that isnt always possible. And not everyone in the game is in a guild, not everyone in the game likes to play with others, and not everyone in the game has the time for it. So yes it is a problem. As it is now, companions might just be erased from the game, it wouldnt make a difference. It is just sad.

Nobody seems to care. I cant blame them though. For me is just another shiny to potencialy tax the system. At the end of the day, most people seemed to prioritize content then actual shalow looks. That is a good thing.

Well the game sucks now. I dont know what they did, but it wasnt just a nerf. They made companions irrelevant alltogether. There is no point in giving them gifts, because they suck anyway, so there is no point for grinding the heroics in the first place, at least for that porpuse. It has become a non factor. They dont even talk to you no matter how many ranks you lvl up. There is no point in even summon a companion. Companions where much more usefull, Previously, KOTFE, then they are after this patch. After a whole day of gameplay, and sub lost, they patch the game , and completely broke this system. Ridiculous. Of course ignoring content is always good for the game, and ultimately bussiness. I dont even understand how there is people like you defending what it isnt defendable. Changing servers? not a solution for me. I wont start all over again from zero, in another server. Ill rather quit the game forever. Join a guild? sure, that is a solution for everything, mostly, i just wonder it doesnt realy need to be. You are just offering solutions, for a problem. That shouldnt be a problem in the first place.
