why bolster makeb to 156 ?? can understand reducing the mobs but makeb isn't exactly hard ..so I guess we can go to makeb at lvl 40 and get bolstered up .....
I sense a great disturbance in the Force... it's as if a million hamsters suddenly cried out in terror... and suddenly fell silent.

I'm curious about the why of the Makeb changes, too.

Based on my "I don't know anything about coding a game" view, it would have made more sense to trigger the Makeb breadcrumb at level 50, instead of level 47. I've seen a few level 47 players on Makeb, but they didn't stay there long.

Tait?

They have added Makeb to the personal conquest list. This may encourage some people to do Makeb. Not everyone likes to do Makeb. I have done since it been released for the weekly but I know people who don't like messing with Makeb .

Probably because the content is getting old and the upcoming expansion with 3.0 is probably going to raise the level cap so I'd imagine they would want to speed up the ease of leveling in that zone. That or they probably saw most people just skipping makeb and wanted to give people reasons to bother going to the planet.

So a level 40 can do damage to a 50 plus? Who knew.

guess you never did the gree event then when lvl 16 players were there grinding lvl 50 mobs ....tho that was a bugg but was fun seeing it done .I have been there at lvl 43 and killed mobs in makeb so it's doable and it's gonna be even easyier now with them reducing the mobs lol

As a subscriber I guess I shouldn't care but when 3 of the 4 highlights are only available to early access it seems a little bit of a screw you to the preferred or f2pers.

Likewise are those exact same highlights going to be the highlights of 2.10 thereby double counting?

That's kind of the point. They still want people to subscribe to the game.

Funny that only Republic class missions got their difficulty lowered.
Once again it is proved that Pubs are weak
