1) Insane Difficulty Level for Casual Gamers.


2) Insane Lag due to increased amounts of players trying their best to overcome the Insane Difficulty Level.


3) Yes, it is meant to be difficult to gain the Mandalorian Armor, but the difficulty is enough to deter less hardcore or casual gamers due to boredom and lower chances of being rewarded for effort.


4) Battle Droids...is it me or do these guys even EXIST in the Star Wars Continuity at this time the game is set it? As it stands, Battle Droids exist at the wrong time, and have exaggerated levels of difficulty. Padme shot a Battle Droid in the head and downed it instantly, and Jedi and Clone Troopers made short work of Super Battle Droids. Their strength is in NUMBERS, not individual strength.


5) It is fun...to a degree. And yet, this fun is short lived for the Master Elites that manage to fight through a few dozen spawns of SBDs and BDs. Its a waste of travel credits, waste of weaponry and armor, and *gasp* an overall waste of time for little or no reward.


There, i said it. Yes it can be fun for some, but most certainly not for all, thus stripping potential entertaining content from the majority of the playerbase.

I hate to complain, but this is a point of interest for only the elite few or strong groups. I hear the new pistol can be found here. The last place was the corvette. That was for the elite few or strong groups. I hear that the new vehicle can be found there. The place before that was the Genosian caves. That was for the elite few or strong groups. I hear that the Geo gun can be found there.


Hey, I'm a solo pistoleer. I stand no chance at these places. I stand no chance of using the new content. I can only fight at fort tuskin for so long without getting bored. Please, please give some content that doesnt require ubber defense stacking and such to play. Please, please add weapons and vehicles without placing them in the hands of those that will sell them for millions.


I feel like your forgetting a very large part of your player base here. I love that you continue to evolve the game into something great. I appreciate your hard work, but please think of the implications to the content your adding.


Thanks.

As there isn't a feedback thing for general 8.2 stuff, I'll have to pop this here. The schedule which was published a few weeks back had the following to say about 8.2:



  • Death Watch Bunker This is a Major adventure w/ integrated profession requirements and some amazing new loot:

    • Bounty Hunter Armor
    • Mandalorian Armor
    • Jetpacks (Yes, Jetpacks!)
    • New weapons
    • New art

  • Veteran Rewards system
  • Badge Display system
  • Loot enhancements

Now, I know it also said the schedule was subject to change, but any chance of giving us an updated schedule so we can all see where our favourite upcoming features have slid to?



Alrevolis Vosteo, Master Politician, Mayor of Pax Imperia - I do nuance.
Zandabar Vosteo, Master Weaponsmith,Merchant, and Shipwright
Vosteo Industries, Corellia -4875, 2147 - Quality weapons, ships, and loot.


Shop Smart - Shop Pax!

Made a quick stop by the bunker today and I must say I had a nice bit of fun.It's tough and it'll be interesting to see if/when the first group successfully assembles anything in the chaos.


A well constructed group, in combintation with the army of campers, might have some luck in that place (not too sure though, seeing as I'm a solo kinda guy).





Quick question though: Any word on the "Veteran Reward System" and the "Badge Display System" that were scheduled to come with this mini-publish?

Good experience. This doesn't seem like anything that can be accomplished by any small group thrown together. I made it to the 3rd room or so, the one that requires a looted keycard, with a Master Swordsman tanking, and me healing. Loot drops were few and far in between, but someone in our group got the hack schematic. I think the AS are going to make the most on this dungeon.....our tank went thru a good portion of his composite in the course of 2 hours or less.



Ok, enough of that...please put TC2 up please



Or tell us its not going to happen today so I can stop refreshing posts

While the idea is good I will probably never do it. I have to say I did the warren again for the 3rd time. i wish there was more content like that for the player that is not in the top 3%.

Well, my group got to the second room, was pretty fun.


My only complaint is that theres this one npc named ragnal or something. well he drops the key to get to the next rooms. kinda sucks to have to compete with other groups for looting right to this guy. not to mention he doesn't spawn very often...

on eclipse these some jerk doc charging 20k for buffs. but thats not what makes her a jerk. i'm soloing a SBD and getting pretty beat up, asked her for a heal, nope no heal, of course she told the guy who just died to consent her for a rez, probably wanted to buff him for 20k...
