actually this is a very good point. You shouldn't have to group with an at-st to get a challenging mission.

I think the problem is the mission generaters are built to try to NOT give you super hard challenging missions, they want to make sure a complete newbie with nothing but his arthritic hands can solo a mission on his own. Now maybe they should add to the system the fact that FT's actually do a LOT of damage, and therefore a harder mission should be granted.. but aside from that I think the mission generator doesn't take into account that you will be superbuffed with a weapon that not only has great damage, but insane potential DoT damage as well.

Now, they could add some more checks to the system, like the *potential* power of a weapon, any buffs currently on you(and/or groupmates), and not only the combat, but also the SUPPORT abilities of your groupmates...

Then again, I'm not a DEV so I don't know exactly what the mission generator check for when determining difficulty level of a mission.

Ok, I'm not even a master commando, but I obviously burn many things with my flame thrower... The highest missions I can get on my own are level 25, and that usualy drops to 22 or less if I'm grouped with someone that isn't a creature handler with pets out...

Yesterday, i went with a group of friends from my pa, and we got 120+ missions, ravenous tortons or whatever they are (the big turtles on rori) With some buffs from my friendly master doctor, I can solo these missions myself. The turtles only have less than 10k hp, and one singleflame2 shot and they're half dead. I also got a pair of rebel missions to try those out, and they were a little harder (6 storm troopers on one) but they weren't anything I couldn't solo with some work, or easily solo with my master doctor/combat medic friend in tow...

Why can't I get anything but wuss level 25 missions on my own, less if I'm with a non ch, when I'm able to solo 100+ missions? I pull the level 25 missions out of the same exact terminals as we pulled the 100+ missions as a group... and why do my missions drop from 25 to 22 when I'm in a group with just my combat medic friend? I always have to quit the group to get my measly 25's.

We need some better control over the missions we get, or we commandos in general need higher level missions than what we're getting!

Group lowers because most CM's don't have any real combat skills. My current build for instance is as weak as a 10 minute old noob, weaker even, I don't even carry a CDEF.

Would be pretty difficult to code, I think. But it would be very easy to just increase the top range of visible missions you can get. ex. Instead of missions lvl 25 - 30 on the term. just add another 10 or 20 to the max difficulty. 25 - 45. I'd love to see that.

I see what your saying... Before CH was nerfed me and my BH cousin and his Graul Mauler would always do Dragonet missions on tatooine. One mission i had just gotten flame 4 and luckely a commando able to train me just ran by. On the next mission his Graul mauler stored automaticaly due to a bug and he got incapped. I was out of valid stims, so i couldnt heal him... I was all alone with 5 dragonets around me, and at the end I was victorious. That missions dificulty was about 40. why is it that i can solo that mission, but still cant get more then level 25 missions by myself? I hate it... XP would go faster if i could get some better missions without going to dantooine, and then doing 2 missoins and then having my Player City attacked, so i have to return. They seriously need to fix this, to help people have a challange in the game.

Go run mission on a more challenging planet.

Dantooine is a step up, Endor, Dathomir, Lok and Yavin can be fun in the wintertime...Minimun faction mission on Dant is 32-34, a small step up. If you like the challenge, group with your troopers to get the mission, then store them and bike out to kick some azz.
