you have to group to get any XP now... get at least three people of near your lvl and head out (as a group) and do missions...

so they just took solo out of the game? thats ridiculous. Grouping for high end stuff like nightsisters is reasonable, even neccesary.
Grouping to grind xp is just retarded. Even more idiotic is how mob's retreat and gain back all of their health now. yay i just spent 5 minutes trying to kill this level 81 to have it retreat, COOL! i <3 this CU so far 
But they still have time to fix this,I can't believe this made it to live... They are repeating the same mistakes they made at launch.
I thought grouping would be a fun experience and totally optional. Now it's neccesary.Not to mention the fact i got ripped off for 20 skillpoints, countless weapons, countless food items, all my powerups seem to have some retarded drawback now.
Funny i spent such a large amount of time playing this game to go back to almost square one in the 2 weeks i was gone.

Nah grouping isn't required. As a level 76 MC with an unfinished BH and Pistols template, I was able to solo 6 level 77 NS Rangers in under seven minutes. Looted myself a crystal, 12 identical +10 health NS armor frags, and crap lances. Solo play appears to be alive and well, once you figure out the finer details of combat 
And I did thisunbuffed, unarmored, no food, with a 281 base dps laser carb. I never even had to use Intimidate or Stopping Shot.
*Edit: Although I will definitely agree that group play is much more efficient. Get a good tank or two, two ranged, and a dedicated healer (a doc in the field owns. High power buffs w/ short duration reapplied frequently... bacta infusion.../drool). XP freakin rolls in.

I was grouped with a lvl 72 MBH and I, a lvl 54 M Carbine yesterday, we took on stuff in the 60+ range and got loads of xp ( that niether of us needed) . Only funI have had post CU to date. Grouping seems to be the only situation where I seetactical value, allowing members to maximize the skills they have. Solo play is incompatible with the tactics model of the CU from what I have seen leaving solo players with a rather dull and fruitless pve experience.

Group xp rolls in at an incredible rate, I'll prolly be able to finish my brawler toon off before they even give us the double XP. Yet when solo you are basically required to pull lower level missions and suffer the mediocre xp gains. It is almost bordering on too much xp when group hunting, group of 4 at lvl 80 putting the final touches on their templates carved through lairs netting about 250K xp per lair.

Yeah, maybe the reason i'm not doing good is because i dropped MBH... I mean whoever thought master carbs and master pistols with smuggler skills wouldn't be a viable template, oh wait any template without BH sucks..
dang.. You guys try to advanced rapid fire something yet? or use legshot? or any carb or pistol attack? It takes horrendously long to kill anything. God i don't even want to know how many PVP'rs have the MBH MCM template :/
But anyways i might go melee to PVE, PVP is a joke and a half.
