mike_carton Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Nah it isn't that. Lorta Escort and Hypori Escort missions have been unavailable for me since August or so. They don't show up on space pve terminal at ship, they aren't sitting in my mission log. I was able to do each of them couple of times last summer.. They'd reset on weekly basis..til they didn't. Both have been gone for several months now. I do pve space stuff on one imp char, one rep char. Both are affected by this. Did you get a response from Customer Service?

merovejec Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hey Deadbladey, The Grade 7 Missions are intended to be challenging especially for players who have mastered everything in the Grade 5 Mission. You are meant to have almost max level ship gear and have knowledge of when to strategically use your abilities. However, there is little to no RNG, so that will help with planning your route and trying new techniques tp complete the mission. While Grade 7 is the most challenging piece of content for this mode of the game, it is definitely doable with the right gear and strategies. EDIT: I'll also be moving this discussion to the appropriate sub-forum. Dear Jackie! Thank you for your post. You nailed it way better than I did! Everything you said about the post is true! However, I do not agree with moving to GSF thread, this has little to do with GSF. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merovejec Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Jackie thanks for the response just wondering is there gonna be any changes made to dailies so we can get reputation from all of them? Or new upgrades added at some point to make it easier? This would be unfair to the people who farmed the reputation with the same way it is now, dont you think? It took us months, so why should it be easier for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ_Gibbs Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 this is the only reputation track that i didn't complete. Whatever little i do have is from those consumables that used to drop from the command crates; they removed those along with the companion gifts from the renown crates, so that was that. These are labeled heroic but are obviously solo missions. They are also not consistent with most of the heroic missions in the game in terms of the difficulty level; they're much more difficult than heroic star fortress missions, for example. Toning down these missions is not an unreasonable request in my opinion; it is very much similar to saying the new sov flashpoint needs to be toned down in the solo / story modes. The other part is adding reputation rewards to lower level missions to help players progress on that front. this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ_Gibbs Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The main key is USE THE ROLL (spacebar). ! I roll 90% of the time and still get smashed by lasers. I do more rolling than shooting and I still die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doubly insulting given that we have a thread here as well as a thread in suggestions trying to get dev attention on a pretty important issue. That you would have had to see at the top, since it was the last thing we were discussing here. A lot of people doubt our threads ever get read and I'm not sure what to tell them at this point.

Stradlin Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Kinda like morphing FPs&Operations forum section together with PvP section. - Both involve beating bad guys with glowing sticks like some primitives while heroic pilots win and lose the war far above.: p So surely its all the same. :l Srs tho, to see 1st BW contribution in these parts in million years be about railshooter..its like some joke.

EDIT: I'll also be moving this discussion to the appropriate sub-forum. Do you actually play the game? Have you encountered this issue, or are you quoting devs who either haven't done it, or are hard core players, so stuff like this is meaningless. The biggest issues is, these missions are considered 'Heroic' yet, unlike every other heroic missions, you cannot invite someone to help, there are no other areas where you can do a harder mode, without inviting others. There are many reason why people have issues with this, and yet, you continue to put forward that it's a LTP issue.

winpersec Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) But this is a L2P issue. What you have to do is watch another people vids from those heroics, figure out why they do what they do and then just do this yourself. Or figure out by yourself, make your route and take your cup of dopamine because you would truly achieve this reputation. Which is not needed anywhere in the game, has nothing to do with the story and is meaningless in any way except for earning the legacy title. Heh. Edit: aye, the Gearhead achievement. Probably it is called achievement for a reason? It's like all those people who buy Crests and NiM titles, still knowing little to no about their classes or even specs and struggling to complete a MM FP being with Dread Master title, Crest and on Wings. Which leads us to hundreds of threads like "please nerf something supposedly overtuned". Like this one.

I never liked the 'I got mine, now its your turn to suffer' thing. Just add something new for the rest (and the few!) of us that already finished it. Seriously, so much Cartel stuff pumped into the game and you'd think they would update reputation vendors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree the other dailies should give green rep not just the 1 of them right now. I have actually managed to complete 3/6 of the heroic missions today after hitting my head against a wall for several hours I have worked out a good method for dodging projectiles is to use your keyboard to always keep moving when taking fire from other ships etc (Using Jammer when you come up against a lot of enemies and/or turrets from big ships is also essential for survival).

I have done this.... HUNDREDS OF TRIES. I have practically spammed the spacebar to roll. Constant movement. Hell, I can't even just go through it by just flying... no shooting at all without dying.

Deadbladey Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Using barrel roll doesn't really help much IMO I've found your better off just dodging normally with directional keys. I normally just go around in a half circle pattern. Also don't bother trying to do the bonus missions it's not worth dying over. Use your conversion module on shield if not attacking anything (shooting blasters will stop shield regen so only use missiles if your low on shields) Edited January 22, 2021 by Deadbladey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
