DarkDajin Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 1. Spoiler alert pls 2. Couldnt this have waited till after the server issues were resolved? Feels a bit insensitive atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuvonDrake Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Get your priorities right, work on getting the game working instead of posting stuff like this =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDajin Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Courtney doesnt work on the game as a community manager, but communication on the servers is preferred to teasers for a game that cannot be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitha_Ithil Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Get your priorities right, work on getting the game working instead of posting stuff like this =) No offence, but I bet those guys are not responsible for the servers! @ Binoculars: love the quests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrica Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nice, I didn't start those quests yet but i'm already looking forward to them =) And indeed, Community managers and World Designers (who made this update) aren't the people working on the servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StabbyMcBackstab Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 As much as I like to see new features and quests, I'm really not looking forward to another planet by planet scanning the same areas over and over type thing. We had this with HK-47, and as awarding as the quest was to unlock the companion, the method to do so felt tedious. That being said, I'm enjoying 2.0 very much so far, so I hope I'm just being pessimistic from the little information I've been given here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torsjn Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The macrobinocular stuff seems pretty decent so far. The seeker droid, however is just awful. Takes WAY too freakin' long to find stuff. Got the quest to find the seeds, went to Taris, and after a while I feel like I will never do anything with the seeker droid ever again. Never got the first seed yet.

Carousel_t Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Those binoculars sound amazing. Cna't wait to use them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHobbit Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I agree the searching for HK parts was way too boring,I waited for a few months, checked the internet and at least that cut the time down to less than 2 hours of searching ,to have to do this for these quests, I will skip. and as for the macro binoculars, if the Items it finds requires the same hop skip and jump as some of the datacrons,I will be skipping that too.I understand some players like this kind of stuff,so please keep adding,but i will keep skipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipacnaa Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Running around entire planets scanning for stuff with a droid that has a tiny range... yeah it's so boring that watching paint dry becomes fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolettexiv Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am so in love with this addition. I've been working on the dailies and various Missions since I hit 52, and they are so much fun. I love that they're not always obvious (The Quesh instance, for example) and that you have to make an effort to figure out how to get the objective. I've been running them on two characters with guildmates, and I am already totally addicted. Also, the rewards?? Awesome. GREAT addition to the game. Thanks, BW!

Whailor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Binoculars are fine. An interesting thing and easy to use. Seeker droids... Sheesh, what can I say. ANNOYING! Really, I do not want to spend ages trying to dig some stuff out and neither waste my cash to buy some short lasting "buffs" to "make it give a bit more feedback". Honestly, make it simple and quick - always at the end of "self location scan" point to correct direction. When within 10 meters, give a green light, between 10 and 20 - yellow, over 20 - red. Also the droid should excavate the right stuff out even when it's near'ish to the object, not right on top of it. I am right now avoiding these seeker droid quests when I can since it's annoying, I don't want to waste a lot of time trying to pinpoint a needlepoint sized spot on the ground what I have to exactly hit - with very crappy directions at that - to have any chance of completing the mission or getting an update.

TheSeventhJedi Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm just interested in the reason why something like this (which nobody was asking for) made it in front of things like pazaak or sabaac or dejarik or swoop racing, which people have been clamoring for since beta? I mean, if there's one thing we learned from Mass Effect, it's that people just can't get enough of scanning, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
