As I said earlier, might as well add one of these to each and every planet.

For the record, it would seem that everything is hard for you, since I do remember you defending the notion that heroics should be soloable as well and what not.

Same for flashpoints, though those should all be tactical. Teaching the ropes to people who have NEVER played an MMO should be secondary, not second nature.

Will this have any bearing on 3.0? I mean, do the devs now believe that makeb was too hard for the average player? I guess what i am asking, will 3.0 be a total cakewalk for geared 180's?

As long as it is optional, great. Making Makeb less of a pita is a good thing.

I am scratching my head over Doomsday though. The fight isn't hard if you know a couple things going in.

The past few months, I was engaged in a SWTOR project to complete all eight class stories (having only done Sage as of this past February). About a month ago, I completed my odyssey with the other seven classes.

I made liberal use of XP buffs and Double-XP Weekends to make sure each of my alts was at least level 47 when leaving Belsavis. I did this for two reasons: (1) I've found level 47 is good point at which to replace all my gear mods for the push to 50 and (2) I could skip most of the non-class content on Voss and Corellia. I usually did a few planet missions on Voss (generally, all the side missions in the first zone), which allowed me to skip every side mission on Corellia and hit 50 (and upgrade all mods again) right as I was ready for my final class mission.

For the record, I did everything on both planets with my Sage. So, I've seen all the content. I had no desire to see it again.

Another seriously moment.
  • The Jedi Knight Mission “Doomsday” has had its difficulty reduced.
  • The Jedi Consular Mission “Chaos and Harmony” has had its difficulty reduced.
  • The Trooper Mission “The Battle of Corellia” has had its difficulty reduced.

Really? There was no need to nerf the difficulty of any of these missions. They are class missions, they are already easy by default.

The thread as you presented it has a negative connotation about it. I was curious as to why you think that it is bad. Since you want to play semantics... Why do you think that it is silly?

Most people don't want to read and or see spoilers and fights before they go in.

Because they're already providing a buff that boots one's AR to 156. Plus, if people want to receive some healing, they have companions for that.

The extra healing is just overkill, not to mention pandering. Makeb is not that hard to grind through truth be told. The major issue I remember reading since its release is the mob density, NOT that it's absolutely dreadful, difficulty wise.

Let us make it optional in every single planet, including Hutta, Tython, Ord Mantell and Korriban.

So by that logic would you be on-board with an instantly-level-to-55 option being added to the game?
