  1. I was already sending the healing droid away to make it a bit challenging, and it wasn't that much. Most of the fights were already dead easy. Of all the changes in the last 5 years, the continual nerfing of content is one of the most annoyingly unnecessary.
  2. I can't help but picture a twig being washed away in a deluge of muddy water, heh.
  3. I'm not saying that they're complaints are completely invalid, I'm saying that the forum is overwhelmingly devoted to negativity that to the point that it's no fun to be here. I left about 3 years ago when the only topic was the game's predicted immediate demise, so I was wrong that nothing had changed. Now it's how much it sucks Honestly, I'd rather just go play the game.
  4. I stopped coming to the forum years ago, because while I enjoy the game immensely, I don't enjoy the forums. I see that nothing has changed here at all, so that was clearly a wise decision. Just popped in today to say how much I've enjoyed all the new story content and, particularly, how much I'm enjoying the new chapter. It's really fun! Thanks for all the hard work and great content. Due to the Canadian dollar sinking like a rock, it now costs me almost twice as much to sub as it did at launch, but I still consider it well worth it.
  5. Love the expansion so much. You really won me over to shared content by making it so great, immersive, in-depth and well acted. I'm not going to have any problem playing this repeatedly with different characters. Everything about it is really fun and I love the fact that I feel like I have a real reason to to the 'daily' content in character. So many kudos! Also, thank you for the big new area of our own on base. Not only will it come in very handy, but it really helps with immersion in the story. I get why the companions are so powerful and the average mobs not that challenging. You've made it so new players can do this too, which is great, and they're not going to be fully Ops min/maxed like I am. Solo'd the heroic fp last night and I really saw why they needed their strength for me, too, lol. About the only thing I would ask Is that we have a way to adjust their effectiveness not that we can't do it with gear, so we have a way to make average encounters more challenging if we wish, but honestly, that's a small thing in comparison to what a fantastic job you've done with this.
  6. I'm really laughing at myself right now. I never come to the forums anymore since they're such a whine-fest, but I thought this time folks would surely be happy and I wanted to tell the Bioware what a great job they did. I underestimated the ability of people to be peeved. Yeah, we could use a way to adjust companion effectiveness now that we can't do it with gear, but there's so much more that's fantastic about this expansion, I thought people would be happy about that. Silly me. I love this expansion, and I thought I would only be happy with more class content. Nope. Love the cutscenes. Love that the story is front and center. Love the way they made the daily-type content not only feel like part of the story, but make much of the previous game content relevant again. Love that they gave us a big new instanced area for rp. Love the way it feels like an rpg and a direct successor to Kotor 1 and 2. Love how much there is to do that feels related to the story and I have a good reason for doing. Love the new companions and new areas. I can't wait for the next chapter, but I have plenty to do until it comes out. In short, Thanks, Bioware. This is great! I sure hope you have some way to measure popularity of content besides this forum, because, holy hell, what gets said here is miles away from reactions in game.
  7. This is the kind of content that we were initially lead to believe was a continuing part of the game. It's not a change, it's a return to the original vision and I for one am thrilled. This is why I bought the game in the first place. Thank you Bioware. When people said this would never return, I just kept waiting and here it is. Huzza! I'm hoping that our old companions get some attention, too. Lord Scourge is tremendously interesting and I feel like we just scratched the surface with that character. Raiding isn't dead in this game, there's plenty of content. hardly anyone has downed nightmare on the new ops, and most guilds are stilll working on hardmode. Why would they release more when so few are able to do what they've released? It makes perfect sense to releaase story content first and additional ops later.
  8. It's a glitch and stopped happening to me when I got a faster computer with a better graphics card. How old is your system?
  9. Yes, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be aware of the impact on what you're asking for on others. Also, decorating with care and conquest aren't mutually exclusive.
  10. So...you guys realize that if they double the hooks, conquest bonuses willl go down, right? Not saying that Tatooine couldn't use more hooks, especially in the upper desert area, which is almost empty, but that should be part of the conversation. I don't know where they'd put more hoos in Coruscant and Dromund Kaas. It already looks like a hoarder lives there if you use all of them. Personallly, I think you should be able to get your conquest bonus without using all of them so you could decorate for style rather than sheer number, but not lose that number so you have placement options.
  11. Length isn't the only factor. Don't get me wrong, it was just enough to whet my appitite for more, but regardless of that, I found that short mission more immersive and meaningful than anything I've done since the cllass stories ended. That's not a slam to the other content. I've enjoyed some of it greatly, but even a short class mission is fulfilling in a way that shared content just can't be.
  12. OP, you're basically saying that Luke was a fool because he didn't turn into a sith to ensure his own survival. With that as a guiding principle, all jedi are fools and you're looking at the choice from a sith perspective, not an unbiased one.
  13. I enjoyed the class missions a great deal and support any class content I can get. Sure, it could have been longer and Rishi was a little bizarre, but I loved the Yavin 4 storyline. I think this is a viable model for how we might start getting class content again, although it needs some tweaks. No one wants new chapters more than me, but if we aren't at least a little realistic and support content that moves in the right direction, we're not going to get any new class content at all, most likely
  14. If WoW can run for decades with infinitely worse graphics--and personally, I really like the look of swtor--I see no reason for this to be a concern at all. People have been saying the sky was falling since launch and wolf has been called way too many times for it to be believable
