  1. I confess, I did not read EVERY SINGLE THING about 7.0, but I read a lot. Both official and fan content. I think I was more prepared for some of the shocks than a lot of folks, given the complaints I keep seeing here, in chat and on social media. But I never read a thing about "auto-tagging" which, I'm told by old school/Founder-era guildies, was implemented with 7.0. [NOTE: IF THERE IS A GOOD GUIDE OR POST ABOUT IT, CAN YOU LINK IN THE COMMENTS? THANK YOU] This apparently is the reason why everybody and their Wookiee jumps into your fights now. Before, it wasn't that common for someone to horn in on your fights -- I mean, there would always be that ONE dude, but mostly, they'd steal the objective you were fighting for. But now, apparently other players you aren't grouped with can get credit even if you have done most of the damage (more on that in a second). I hate this. I can deal with crappy green gear on my L80 toons and all the numerous other glitches. But this was supposedly an improvement? If I wanted to play like this, I'd go to a PVP instance because at least then I could damage annoying players. It really came to a head just now on Yavin with my Operative healer. I have her healing and Vector L50 on tank. It takes a bit longer for me to do these fights than it does on my Marauder or Jedi Sage. But my healer can survive most things unless I start pulling stupid. She was doing the mission where you have to "download data from the terminal" and then fight three rounds of droids. I started it twice, and twice, the same player jumped into my fights. This was at least 5 mins apart, too. He horned in on a different mission fight, too, in a different place. Just an allaround nice guy! Both times, I did not get credit for the mission completing. Because supposedly, it was MY responsibility to tag him so I could complete the fight? THAT IS FREAKING INSANE. It shouldn't be on me to support other people on MY missions, MY fights. [the third time was the charm, as nobody decided to "help."] I first noticed this happening right after 7.0 launched, on Onderon, when someone kept following me around, getting into my fights. At one point, he aggro'd a second mob, DIED and left my Sage and Lana to hammer down like 10 goons. Which we did. Yavin used to be my favorite thing to do. I could handle the occasional griefer jerkwad. But now, it's every time. This was the first time I've had the "you shoulda tagged the other person to get credit for your own fight" issue, even though it's happened to my damage toons, too. Honestly, of all the changes, both those BioWare inflicted on us and the inevitable glitches, this is the one making me hate the game the most. I really can't believe this is an improvement. My guildies are trying to convince me, but I'm just not seeing it. Rant done. Helpful comments, links and observations appreciated.
  2. My biggest dislike is that, with the reduction in the number of heroics/daily areas up for conquest in a week, there are more players concentrated in those places. I don't know if it's because there are so many old returning players or the botching of this release has everybody just HANGRY all the time, but I'm getting sick of people butting into my fights. One douchebag on Onderon kept following me, waiting for me to start a fight, then jumping in and fighting with me. I didn't think there was "kill stealing" per se in this game, and my characters are perfectly able of taking down a trash mob quickly without losing very much health (even with the obvious nerfing of our companions, but that's a vent for another day). This genius on Onderon wasn't even really *helping* me; the last fight, he aggro'd a second mob then DIED, leaving me and Lana to take down like 10 randos. I left the planet after that. But EVERYWHERE I am playing now, Imp or Pubside, I can't get through a fight without griefers. I'm considering only playing in PVP instances. At least I'll get a few rage-releasing hits on a jerk and if they kill me, hey, they can get the credit for it.
  3. Yep. I mean, did we really need more proof you hate marauders, Bioware? Vulkk recommends hiding behind a pillar and setting Darth Useless to tank. Gonna try it now because at least it's free to die 15 times in a row. Must say, though, Malgus's other attack, where he runs around the arena like my cat at 4 am is the best.
  4. Is this just for YT or Twitter ... people talking *about* the game, or are artists and fanfic writers allowed to apply, too? Thanks.
  5. I have both LS Jaesa (as I should) AND was giving the alliance alert to get DS Jaesa, who I jailed just because. I want to keep LS Jaesa only. Several people in my guild were having the same experience at the same time I was last night. I have Broonmark and Pierce as both available and unavailable, like others.
  6. Just tried to log in (noon EDT) and got "log-in service unavailable" so I relogged, and it took a minute but it got through. But when I got to the character selection screen, it told me the game wasn't finished downloading and I could only play a low-level toon.
  7. I'm not calling them out as human beings. They are doing a job and we are consumers who can have our say ... otherwise, why would they open a forum? Be on Twitter? Have "influencers"?? I personally want nothing to do with the cult of personality that follows the devs. AFAIC, they get to go home at night and forget all about us but when it comes to the product and the work day, they have stakeholders to answer to. And this isn't about Demanding To Know Things. IT WAS THE DEVS who told us DS Jaesa is coming back in this, The Year of the Returning Companions.
  8. I feel the same way. Gray Jaesa who's weary from all the galactic drama would be fantastic!
  9. I don't mind there being a choice. If you want DS Jaesa, you do you. It's just ridiculous that we are given this choice but it magically can't be preserved now in the One Size Fits All game where Our Choices Matter. Oh, wait. Yeah. I forgot.
  10. My Sith Warrior is LS (although she killed Arcann). Her Jaesa was LS. I don't want DS Jaesa. I don't need some bizarro illogical "Force compensation" because I don't have Arcann. I WANT THE JAESA I WORKED MY WHOLE CLASS STORY FOR. I know this is useless, the devs and writers won't listen, they'll blame story mechanics but they want feedback, they're getting it. Not all of us are forum/genchat/reddit Edgelords, guys. Again, come visit the fandoms elsewhere. You'll find a lot different environment, and a lot of LS Jaesa supporters
  11. I've been there with you, friend. Makes me wonder if there's an Influencer Program in the forums, too.
  12. Ah, my Inquisitor is in the middle of Iokath ... that must be it! thanks!
