ShieldProtection Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 What I'm missing here? I literally spent like an hour to find some people to do heroics together, yet no one whispered, its the most crowded time in the fleet, having like 150+ people on my instance. What's wrong? I was getting people almost instantly last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting people almost instantly last year. Too many solo only players or people not doing stuff outside of their guilds.... not to mention an ever diminishing population.

JediQuaker Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If you want to do Heroics, it's best to look for people on the planet where the Heroic is located, not on the Fleet. Due to various things, such as Group Finder, people don't hang around the fleet looking for groups much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darevsool Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I've seen a few people asking on the planets for Heroic groups. They're so easy and fast now, there's no NEED to group for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well besides the bonus group experience and bonus money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoNonSoEVero Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) There's really no need. The Heroics on the vanilla planets can be done solo and many of them are instanced so there are no worries about competing with others for the objectives. I feel like the only one where you'll probably find people reliably grouping up is Possessed Hunter on DK. Also, on the occasions when I've received group invites it's been at the loading point for the heroic, wherever the heroic transport ports you to. If you really want to group you can try asking there, I guess. Not that I know if people will want to group there either; I certainly don't.

RameiArashi Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Only heroics I need group for where during Pirate Incursion. First time I tried to solo the 2 player one I was overwhelmed. I ran out to get help.. Usually managed to join group with 3 other people doing all the heroics. That 2 player one goes fast with four, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazonfreak Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Indeed, you are not missing anything. Planetary Heroics went through a couple of stages during the lifespan of this game and at the moment they are considered credit and experience dailies for single players, so it is quite fitting that they are lumped together in the Solo tab in the activities window. They used to be the go-to group activitiy back when they became role neutral and every member earned the full amount of bonus credits of the other players in a group. During that time you could easily earn several millions in just a couple of hours. Each day for every of your characters. Since that led to a massive inflation spike after the game already experienced inflation with the level-adjusted credit reward for quests, they toned down the credit group reward to a percentage that many find a hassle to specifically group up for. Myself included. That's the reason why people looking for heroics group on fleet are basically gone now and you might find the occasional spontaneous group on the planet itself.

I would respectfully disagree with some of your statement. I have found no issues with people grouping for heroics. On all planets. I mean nothing against the OP, don't know him, but could he maybe be on a lot of ignore lists? Yes there is a lot of people that solo them, but even more that group for them. But you have to goto the planet, and not on fleet. Also, everyone seems to be on Dantooine atm, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerileth Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Let's not forget the group loot bug is still present. At least is it for me. If you're not the first person to loot, you have to click every dead npc. Heroics just don't pay off anymore. Too much time for so little reward. I'll make far more credits buying items on the GTN and reselling for huge profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, everyone seems to be on Dantooine atm, I'm not saying that there are no heroic groups at all, but I'm quite certain that there are far more players that Solo them compared to running them in a group. Like I said, it fizzled away when the massive grouping credits weren't a thing anymore. Before that you would see people constantly ask for farming groups in general chat on the fleet, which is what the op is referring to I think.

I enjoy doing the H2s for leveling and for grinding on my alts...the toons I don't play well enough to play competitively.
