Seriously, I'm soloing Corellia because there are only 15 people on (Juyo) and everyone in my guild is busy doing other things, and these damn elites are crawling the area where I'm at. I'm very careful where I walk but every now and then an elite finds me. BAM! 10m respawn timer and I have to either wait or run back and fight all the trash again.

This is penalizing the player too much. At least have maybe 2-3 instances of 1m30s before the 10m timer. And who does the 10m timer benefit anyway?

Wait, you die a lot and want to not get penalized for it?

Have you considered, you know, playing better and not dying?

Yea it should go up in increments. 10m on 3rd death is pretty freaking demoralizing.

Apparently (I haven't tested it my own self) if you take the second option to go back to a medical droid it resets the timer for the first option (your current location).
Duct tape is like The Force; it has a light said and a dark side and it holds the universe together.
While I always try to provide correct and meaningful information I have been known to make mistakes, from time to time.

The jump from 1m30s to 10m is pretty steep. Sometimes you just have bad days.

Soloing elites isn't that hard.
...they'd never come to see me in this dive, where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies, who are praying they'll get out of here alive...

Right, but then you have to run back and fight all the trash again.

10m is a damn long time. Other games don't penalize NEARLY this much.

None of them can dispute this, they will just resort to "Don't die" and L2P other internet tough guy routine. They have no case basically, but this is the internet, so personal attacks will take the place of debate.
For every complaint, there are three fans whining about complaints.
