Really? I havnt seen anything announcing buffs on Monday. I checked patch notes and dev tracker. Unless they made the announcement someplace else, like maybe Twitter.

Here. Read this again and please point out where they said that companions are actually getting buffed on Monday.

First off, we want to thank all of you for your feedback about Companion balance following 4.0.2. As we go into the weekend, we wanted you to know that we have gone through this thread, the forums, Reddit, and social media to gather everyone’s perspectives. We have come out of this with quite a few action items that we are going to take, including buffs for Companions. On Monday, we are going to release a forum post highlighting our plans to address current Companion balance, along with the state of Heroic Missions and Star Fortress.

Thank you all once again for your feedback.

I see they mention action items. But that doesn't really translate into an actual buff patch on Monday. An action item is just a high level task that needs to be addressed.

Other than that, all I see as far as announcements is that they are going to release a forum post highlighting their Plans.

I could be wrong, and actually hope I am wrong, but please correct me and show me where they have clearly said that companions are getting a buff on Monday.

so basicly it's going to be another knee jerk update if it happens on Tuesday..it just gets better and better
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 mean, I think that would be nice, but I don't actually see anything in what they have posed that states it'll be that quick. In fact the more I think about it the more I hope they don't do fixes on Tuesday as I don't see them staying over the holliday to fix anything they break.

You said someone was incorrect and should research things a bit more.

What research have you found to show that a patch to fix companions is coming on Tuesday, other than blind faith?

I hope they do... I hate that my comp isn't healing right... I don't like being a nuisance and always having to ask for help. I liked having independence and not having to rely on other ppl.

A buff that increases their strength and shortens the content somewhat can help. I think only about 10% are asking for a total reverse patch, the rest is just asking for a higher influence scaling/slight buff to make soloing stuff possible again, while at the same time decrease the time you spend in heroics by 20-30%.

So...you are asking for a total reverse patch. "People" aren't.
Actually no a lot of "people" are asking for reverse patch if you pay attention to a lot of the pages and read I'm not the only who thinks the buff won't be a good thing either some have made comments of maybe a "10%" raise with buffs. Why is it so wrong that people want to be independent?

They probably didn't even start working on a Patch until Thursday or Friday, and they don't work on the weekends, so all they will have is Monday to work out the rest of a Patch, and hopefully at least kind of test so it don't break more than it fixes before launching it on Tuesday.

Just doesn't seem likely.

Plus they go on their Holiday vacations. I doubt they would release a Patch the week they go on Vacation. Its definitely possible, but I just don't see it happening

Even though I would like to see the companion buff on Tuesday, I really think it wont happen until the release of the next chapter in January. That way they can roll it into a patch that is already being worked on.

That was taken from me in 4.0.2.

Give me back my OP companions, that is the way I want to play. It doesn't affect other players if I want to roll with an OP companion. I have invested my time and money into this product and I demand satisfaction.
Amen!
