Thread: Publish 8.2 Feedback: Death Watch Bunker
Whoever is Saying they made it Far with less then a group of 20 people is Lying. There must have been other people assisting you. Bull**edit** if a group of less then 15 guys can do anything in this Dungeon...
You must have forget to mention that you didnt fight one Super battle Droid. Are we trying to be Stupid here? I went there again last night and everyone was dying. Make Mando armour hard to get? Dude - Hard to get is one thing - but filling a dungeon with GODLY mosnsters and Little to No rewards for the entire group? Only one person will get a Jet pack or a Piece of armour - what about the Hundreds and thousands of other players on the Server that are just Fed up with doing Missions on Dantooine all day and night?
IF anyone says the Difficulty in this dungeon is Good for them they need a Slap across the Face because they are not Normal. Really - I saw some Uber arse dudes walk in and get their arses smashes by the Droids. There is no DOUBT about this. They dont give xp or Drop any form of Reward. Its just simply not worth it for 99% of the Player base.

We took a total of 24 people there today, most masters in one or more combat profession(s). We got slaughtered, partly because of the time it takes to kill a single SBD and partly because of their insane respawn rate (and a rebel who thought it was very very funny to train 4-5 more SBD's on us a few times.. grow up buddy).
The DW bunker being hard just to make sure the mandalorian armor is rare is waste of content. There's other ways to make the armor rare instead of wasting an entire dungeon on a very very small portion of your players. The two last dungeons (the corvette and now this one) has really dented my hopes for the future of this game.
Cool loot is one thing. Letting most of the players having a shot at getting to it is something different alltogether. You need to decide if you want to cater to the minority or the masses. Guess who pays your bills.
Just so everyone knows, I was quoting some guy in the first paragraph of my last post. Some guy that obviously doesn't understand how crappy this bunker is for even the upper echelon of galaxies.
The developers do not care what anyone thinks, so starting this thread was a real waste. It's just an example of the crap that corporations do in order to appear to actually listen to the people that pay for their products.You see, the trick of the matter is that no matter how pissed some of you get at the developers you continue to pay them your money. If we somehow managed a massive cancellation due to the absurdity of the bunker then perhaps they would listen. However, the fact of the matter is that many of you continue to play the game even as you get upset at the developers for theabsolutely terrible things that they introduce to the game. If you honestly want to make an impact on SWG, then hit them where it hurts--the pocketbook. No revenue=no potential profits, no profits=no jobs, and eventually if it continues even after people lose their jobs then no profits=no game. So yeah, you have the power to get things changed other than this terrible board that the developers put up just so that we can't rant without ANY intention whatsoever of actually listening to what is being said by the majority of the SWG gaming community.
Nice try, devs, your lame excuse for customer service will not placate those of us that are upset with the bunker. Changes will please the community and as such I will stick aroundto see if you do anything about the bunker before I hit cancel.
Thanks.

The question is, do they want to cater for the casual gamers or the elite gamers? If the latter, expect most current players to quit and have to raise the monthly fee to much more than it is today, which will make your elite players to quit... and voila, SWG closes down its servers.
Get real devs, this dungeon is most definately not well recieved. It's not following continuity (hello... SBD's in all your dungeons.. past, present and future?), it's much too hard for anyone but the most elite players to enjoy and the rewards in it is pathetic.
Having hard content is one thing, but let that be for the people that can do it or think they can do it. How hard would it be to initiate something for the lower masses? Not too difficult, and this is where most people are. Throwing in little helper droids and such I guess is our little prize, but I'd love to be able to do dungeons and other zones too, but knowing I have absolutely NO chance of succeeding either here or in the bunker is dead depressing (no pun intended), so there's no reason to even go or think about going.
Guess I'll go kill some more pikets and not get paid for it.
OMG! I'll get banned for this, but you dev's are absolute [fill in the blank]! we just did the death bunker and there is no point to this.. Why? Is this your formula for new content? Super battle droids that are resist to most of what you do? To spend 40 minutes fighting a battle droid? I've been a member for almost a year now with 2 accounts, I'm getting closer and closer to calling it quits. I'm tired of being nice about this... I don't know what to tell you guys.. Fire everyone and outsource to a REAL software development company.. this is just plain ridiculous..
Use a pet or a cheap droid on the SBD , once its finished , it generally wont follow your team onwards . Saying that , this will be my last post too , since the last person I started this game with has cancelled and I really dot think the game is heading in a direction im comfortable with .
Good luck to you all , 
Well, I don't think i'm going to be doing this mission, it sounds too difficult, I have a tough enough time trying to just stay a float in this game. Hey, krayts are tough enough for me, I've been trying for ages to get something useful from them and I've looted 9 out of 9 and got nowt so far, I've also done the corvette 4 or 5 times with nothing but a cdef to show for it. Simply put I don't have the confidence in the current game system anymore that I will get something out of this mission that will make it worth my time, i'm wookiee, they can't wear mando anyway, so why should I bother.
Good work devs, you got my apathy!
Well not that we expect to hear from the devs but if we did we wont hear anything til probably Tuesday, due to the holiday weekend. I have not been to the bunker yet and from what i hear its not going to be worth the trouble. I do have a few question tho.
Is the new combat system totaly in place now or is it still in progress? If not maybe some of the problems with the bunker will be resolved once the new combat system is in place? By making the bunkerharditmay keep them from having to adjust it once the new system is in place.
I see alot of people saying they went in with a group or 20 people and everyone was killed or they had no chance. Are all the members of these 20 person parties really advanced? and are the parties well balanced with doctors, melee, ranged,with a mastersquad leader? You know like a well balanced team or is it the first 20 people you can round up at a starport? Just because you are buffed doesnt mean you cant be killed. I am a Master TK and Master Commando and even with a good buff and Advanced Comp., and brandy from time to time i can still be killed at tusken by a couple of warlords. YeahI knowI suck! But thats all it may take is a careless player or 2 and the group starts to fall.
Most missions, caves, and so on can pretty much be competed with and 10 random people at a decent skill level. Maybe death watch is different and we actually need to be constructive and have a strategy. Also people are complaining about the quality of the Mando Armor in relation to composite. I thinkI heard that Comp.armor will be nerfed very soon so it may turn out the stats on the Mando are great who knows.
LikeI said,I have not been out there and all of the questionsI have above may not apply. I am trying to get a better understanding beforeI even try.
