  1. To clarify, I am talking about content from Knights of the Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne, so the what, 60-70 content, right? Before that, this CC spam issue was never a thing, as well as the trash mobs that see stealth from infinite distance and instantly without you have any chance to land an opener. Plenty mobs had stuns/blinds/etc from class story, makeb, yavin but it wasn't every 5th mob with a hard 5-6 second stun that you can only shrug off every 60 seconds, that gets super old super fast. I get strong and elite mobs not being pushovers, but when you fight 8-10 groups of mobs in a row and each has at least one strong+ and they ALL have stuns, it basically is stealing your playtime because you just gotta sit there and do all of nothing. I am not pulling 3+ groups of mobs, and like I said before these mobs that annoy me so much next to never kill me. I think I have died maybe 2-3 times total on my most recent character and none of those times were from the stunfest mobs in kotfe/et. I cannot be more specific because it's quite literally as I said before, nearly every group if not every other group of mobs. From start to finish. Also if you had actually read what I originally said I have already admitted to playing and quitting this game several times, which is likely what I will continue to do until this game shuts down forever. I will come and catch up, experience the story, then quit for a couple years. It's what I have done so far and I don't really see that changing so not sure why you feel you've caught me with my pants down like it seems you think you have. Regarding wow, I insulted it, but since I mentioned it that's all you saw and your gut reaction was "wow" HAHAH so... yeah. I really just came to rant about this really poorly designed piece of content, which from the responses appears to be known.
  2. I feel like this game would actually be 1000% more fun for me if not literally every 5-10 mobs had some kind of hard unavoidable, no diminishing return CC. I was told to stop being hyperbolic in the last thread I made about this but I am not kidding. I am someone who hates how often people overuse the word "literally" when really they mean figuratively. But in this case I am not joking or exaggerating. Ever since starting Fallen Empire anywhere as often as every 3 mobs up to as few as 10 mobs - at least one of them will have some hard CC that you either cannot escape or avoid or they have several and using your breakaway ability is pointless. From time to time you will even encounter mobs that (using literally properly here) literaly have 2-4 seperate HARD CC's that either have extremely low cooldown, or actually no cooldown, and the mobs have no problem chaining together back to back. I am fortunate enough (and maybe skilled? but this games not super hard) that I have only died maybe 1-2 times from 1-70 on my most recent toon. The very first time I ever died on my newest character was because the mob I was fighting stunlocked me *AND* my companion fully to death. Admittedly this mob was a champion, and I did eventually kill him later, but the fact that any mob that is designed to be soloable can stunlock you from full life to completely dead is just overwhelmingly lazy game design. The worst part is that CC from PVE has no diminishing returns whatsoever, so any mob with a stun can potentially double or triple the time it takes to kill any group of mobs. What makes this worst part even more bad is that 99.999% of the time this isn't even remotely dangerous or close to fatal, just extremely annoying. A stun that is not any danger or threat and serves only to annoy. Just trash. I remember now why I don't stick with this game for long. I come back every couple years and play catch up. It's so extremely sad to see such amazing storytelling have to be conjoined twins with the malformed abomination of nature that is the game's mechanics. It's pretty much the opposite of what world of warcraft is. Pretty good game mechanics with a completely void and hollow story that has infinite plot holes.
  3. meh nvm, already did my catch up for now, ill be back in like 2 years ago per usual to catch up again. I think is is why I never stick around. It's a shame such amazing storytelling with a world steeped in the greatest lore has to use this trash video game as it's vehicle to tell said story.
  4. It seems about 75% of the content in the KotFE and KotET ignores that stealth exists and all mobs detect and know where you are immediately. Why are an entire FOURTH of classes' main defining trait (stealth) rendered useless during this content? from 1-60 I stealth passed everything from darth jadus, skotia, even revan himself but now suddenly everything has god tier stealth detection? Its not like any of the skippable stuff is hardline story content. Its literally trash mobs.
  5. It feels like at least 1 in every 10 mobs has at least one stun and often more than one. Commonly mobs will have several AND chain them. From time to time some mobs will literally have 3-4 DIFFERENT stuns that appear to have no cooldown. The worst part? None of these NPC CC's have any kind of diminishing returns. They can be chained from one group of mobs until the next. So here is my question - WHYYYYYYYYY????????? Why does this game has so many effing STUNS?
  6. I was considering buying a hypercrate for various reasons, for cool armors, dyes, crystals, basically any reason you'd normally want one plus of course a way to earn (hopefully) a ton of credits. The problem I have is that I haven't really played in a good long while and I just don't have any idea of the relative credit value of the items contained within hypercrates. I first looked at youtube to see if anyone had a semi recent review of them (hypercrates) but the newest I personally found was 2015 which feel significantly dated. Can any one provide some feedback to me regarding what I can expect when buying a hypercrate? Thanks.
  7. I subbed on the 23rd, got a free week of game time plus 30 more days I thought... why is my game telling me im preferred now?
  8. Could anyone point me toward a graphics card that would be compatible with an Asus P5Q-E?
  9. I feel on the fence about this, on the one hand I myself have several (4) level 50 characters. I did not poop-sock my way to 50 (4) times, I played fairly casually actually. None of my characters have much more than 2-6 pieces of various columi or rakata It wasn't long or hard to hit 50, I never had to grind for 4 hours at a time (every 60 I had in vanilla wow I eventually had to grind for several hours at 59 due to lack of quests) I feel like anyone who had an active sub since EGA should get this deal too, but hey ill take what I can get, thanks a ton.
  10. to be more specific, and to add to op's point. I leveled truly solo from 1-20 on my gunslinger, meaning no companion even, and was solo'ing elites to that point. as a gunslinger I can nearly outright kill stongs in one "wave" of my strongest burst abilities. normals I destroy and elites are a good run I got to voss and melee strongs would just wreck me flat out. 12k hp and getting hit for 5k-6k is NOT fun.
  11. strong (silver border) mobs hit WAY WAY WAY too hard on voss. My guess is that voss use to be higher level, mob levels got swapped and their damage didnt.
  12. Took me well over 100 tries (12+ hours at least) I will post a video up on youtube after I edit some stuff, but the final video will have me showing my ship with zero installed upgrades, me selecting the impossible sector, and running the mission from start to finish. Just thought I would share with fellow space mission fans. Oddly enough I feel like the Drexel Sweep with no upgrades is harder, but people wanted to see this, so I did it. edit: youtube is giving me crap might take a while sorry D:
  13. I had something else written and changed my mind. Deal with it.
  14. nvm I hate threads like this so im not gonna make my own.
