This is so stupid. They add a new feature to the galaxy map and make no mention of it. When you select Manaan then you have sub select the invasion zone.

An unfortunate side effect of inflation due to the credit exploits of the past. The GTN top sell price is 999,999,999. Cartel crates sell way over that now and you can only get them through general chat on fleet. Good Luck!

Bottom line: I invested a ton of time and in game credits to take my companions to 50 influence to only have them nerf. My companions at 50 influence should be god like. I have been in game since early beta and invested 100's of hours of time and in game credits to max out my legacy and be a elite as possible. 4.0 was the cherry on top when it came to being rewarded for time investment and being a founder. 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.

Do you all remember this same time last year... I think we called it The Ravagers Exploit. How long did it take for them to fix? 2-3 months? I would be surprised to see anything get done whether it's a roll back or an adjustment to the nerfiness. If we have to wait till 4.0.3 then after only have a 3 month gap ever in my subscription, I might consider moving on. I was really enjoying the game again after 4.0. Being able to go to Alderaan and try to get my PVP achievement because there were actually PUBS there was a welcomed change. The lower level planets were showing signs of life again. I tried to solo HM SF and it took me around 30 min each run before 4.0.2, I think my run yesterday took almost an hour. Nobody has that much time to kill. Either take us back to 4.0 comanion settings or lower the HP pool on enemy NPC's. The think the Latter is an easier fix.

Grinding heroics for alliance boxes was tedious. I maxed out to 20 influence on the 4 main aliance NPC's. I started the grind for a 2nd toon and with this 4.0.2 nerfing of companions, I am just turned off to it. I have one toon with 8 comps at 50 influence, don't ask me why. But to do this on multiple toons, OMG, I can't fathom it. For crafting I am maxing out influence on my main crafting toons to cover all the different types of crafting. I am for adding this to Legacy. Please do so and roll back companion stats to pre 4.0.2.

I would be happy with the ability to order my companion in some useful way for questing and crafting. Maybe have a revers influence sort. Or.... I'd like the ability to hide companions from view. So back to your OP, show only those companions that are useful to me and hide the ones I don't give a flip about.

+1 Well Said! /clap

I have multiple level 65 toons, four of which have at least one companion at Influence 50. I am a founder with every legacy perk you can get. On my jugg, with Lana at 50 influence, presence went down to 3678. Lana's HP went from nearly 110k hp down to just over 84k hp. I tried doing HM SF and the grind just seemed to take twice as long. The Challenge Factor increased but it just got boring with each fight just taking way too long. I grinded a ton of H2+ heroics to build the influence of the 4 Alliance peeps. I maxed them out about 10 days ago and those heroic grinds drove me nuts. They took way too long in their current state pre patch. This morning, I tried to grind out some heroics on Voss and OMG, I just gave up. It just takes forever to kill the trash. I honestly don't get the nerf and I have been around since pre launch. I can't even imagine what the grind is like for people that don't have the legacy perks. I thought the goal was to make the game more approachable for the casual gamer? It looks like this patch went totally against that goal.

I can confirm that Nico comes back after you complete the story line and do the quest lines for Alliance.

Nico has been disappearing for many people. I lost him on a couple of toons already. Not sure what the reason is.

Thank You for posting that. Now I won't have to go nuts doing lower level missions in hopes of getting some.

I went to 50 influence with Jaesa Dark Side. It took over 500 purple grade 5 weapon gifts to get there. What I am now noticing is that Treasue Hunting is no longer granting gift fragments for the gift missions. Can somebody else confirm this. I lined up 5 toons and sent 30 comps on TH gift missions at all grades and didn't receive one gift fragment. I had about 1k purple fragments banked before 4.0 so I can trade a lot for the 1:1 trade. I guess the no more gift fragments was the trade off or they are very rare.

I too took Jaesa Dark Side to 50. I went through 500+ purple grade 5 weapon gifts. She can do slicing grade 8 rich mission for adaptive circuitry in 6 mins and I got 3 adaptives each mission 6 x's in a row so the at 50 inf. you get some serious crits and time cuts.

HK has always been hard to gain affection with. His approval gain with gifts has not changed either. Treek does well but HK is a PITA to gain approval with. Purple favorable level 5 gifts are giving over 900 approval if you had affection at 10 for normal companions. It's about the same for Treek, but HK is horrible, it's like 400 approl with purple level 5 weapon gifts, I am going to pass on building approval with HK for a while. If he is your favorite companion, I would invest in him but you will get better results if you build approval using gifts on the normal companions. Niko also seems to gain good approval too, just FYI, he loves Underworld Goods.

First of all. The OP and everyone that agrees is very selfish. When you ragequit or meowmeow (P***Y) out of a group, you just passed your failed experience on to another person. You should just suffer the group and get your 40 comms and how knows, maybe the group has a chance and will end up victorious. Not only should you receive a 30 min ban by clicking the leave wz button but you should be deducted 50 comms. You definitely don't help a group by dropping out. Just see it as a challenge and rise to the occasion. BEEFCAKE!!!!!!
