Chapter 6 Combat Changes Suck!!!Follow

ya it must suck theres actualy challenge now.

BTW, IIRC, white is same level, so it makes sense they would potentialy kill you

The changes to combat do suck, what i could solo before is practically impossible now. It would be ok if it was just more difficult but this is ridculous, they want us to group more now is what i have heard. I could solo NK necrosis before np, now i can't even stay alive with a group of 3-4 lvl 90 jedi's for more than 10 secs how is that more challenging? It is stupid and the game is not fun anymore. I even changed my expertise and i got a little better, but not enough, they need to make it a little more fair again. I fear they r going to lose many customers over this and i may be one of them.

like i have said b4 chapter 6 maybe fine for lvl 90's who are already established but it may be alot harder for new comers, especially ones that havent played an MMO and have chosen SWG as there first, i mean isnt that in a way what we want to attract (not 10y.o jedi's) but gamers that will stay and help it continue. But i suppose the other argument would be that if they care and are worth keeping they will put up with it.

But i have already seen an increase in grouping which i pefer anyways so chapter 6 in my opnion is ok if seen as what it's worth not what it shows, if you understand that at all :P

Awwwwwwww your all powerful Jedi is getting munched...bummer can't say I feel for you. The only reason you are playing the Jedi is becaues it's "Ultimate Fighter". Now you can't grind by yourself. Dude!...this a a game based on group quests. You can solo some of them, but the majority should be grouped unless you are Uber Pansie With A Glowing Stick Jedi or Commando the Walking Turret with a planet killing blaster. This time...I'm siding with the Vets on this one. Is it realistic for one person to kill a rancor....I know luke did it. Wasn't that luck he found the rock to crush the door control...not the force. If I'm not mistaken he didn't use his powers through the whole fight. Oh and by the way I complete 2 quests today on Kashyyyk with a 30 level charater solo. It involved more running than fighting this time, and I had to formulate a plan instead of turning off the brain and mashing buttons. It means you have to think now...no more getting blown out of your mind with drink and weed and playing for hours. Rise to the challenge...don't ***** like a little kid......It's Toooo Haaaaaaaaard! I hear that from my 12 yr old when she plays Mario Sunshine. Come on people you are adults for the most part. Act like it and work for what you want. If Mando Armor was easy to get everyone would have it. I have a full suit of armor to make it, but lack the levels and fire power to do it. So wait until I can find a group to go in with. Thats the way to play the game patients and planing all RPG should be like that. Not a shooters delight. I applaud the change and if you that weak minded and willed the game will live long after you have given up. Don't join my gruop because you are a liability, and you will get any group you join smoked like a $5 doobie!

It was way too easy before I could solo purple mobs more often than not!

That's strange, cause i've soloed over 20 treasure maps now..

the following statement is probably going to shock some people, so, be prepared.

i didnt think that ch6 was going to make that much of a difference, i initially saw the beastlord thing as gimmicky - maybe it is, but there have been enough improvements now that im seriously considering continuing with my account, and maybe reactivating a few of my old ones, which are entertainers/traders. i made over 3 million cr in about 30 mins making incubators, although took me 2 days to create the factory crafted items to make them :D so if your looking for an incubator on tarquinas,im selling them for 250,000 cr each, and ber14 geothermal harvies for 50,000 cr. and since mine seem to be better than most of the others that are for sale and for less than 1/4 of the price of the cheapest :D

so, if chapter 7 makes as big an improvement as chapter 6 has, then things arent looking quite so bad after all :D

Or you just need better equipment and a new tactic..
Once you dig up the treasure, run to drop agro. Then go back and use a droid to attack one if they are standing to close to eachother. They are very easy to pull one at the time without agroing the others. Good luck

I think that chapter 6 is a little fun because there are more challenges to deal with and much harder to solo but i think that swg went a little too far like for hand its impossible to solo emperors hand and why is it 6-8 hours when it should be like 1 hour and the hand heals so dam fast for some reason i wish the swg will nerf back the orginal swg :)

so basically from what i can see is CH 6 is a IM ALL RIGHT JACK ***** YOU THAT CANT DEAL, that sound familar to any one?

Thats why you cant find anyone to group with these days in the first place.

Can solo NK? could some one plese tell me why a lvl 90 shouldn't be able to solo a lvl 60 playground mission?? AFTER ALL YOU WANTED A LEVEL SYSTEM AND I GET SLAGGED OFF FOR FOR BERATTING IT.

Sometimes the hypicriticalness of it all makes me sick. and this place is getting more and more like the loser trolls of the main sony boards i retreated from in the 1st place and well thanx for that people, guess its time to start looking for a new home

Oh and i got a jedi as well you gonna slag me offf for that???

i just thought that harder combat would mean people grouped more, i'd like to see more of that really, solo gameplay doesnt have any appeal to me, it never has, so anything that encourages interraction is good for me, but i can see that not everyone wants to be part of a group, there are those that only solo, i dont know what the answer is tbh, whether they need to rebalance things slightly, i dont know, i would say though, that in other games, elites are not meant to be solo'd and i dont have a problem with that, but none elites should be well within a players capability, unless he's fighting outside of their own level, or has a numerical disadvantage, whether its because people have gotten used to weak mobs and are having trouble adjusting i dont know, hopefully they will keep on working on this. as has been said already, space is still pretty much as it was not just pre-nge, but pre-cu too. its one area where traders can make equipment thats superior to the looted varieties. with very few exceptions anyway :D
the only thing now is can SOE improve their standing with players enough, the 14 day trial is good, but, it also has the downside of making it easy for RMT'ers to infiltrate the game.

The saddening thing is that in most servers there just isn't enough people to group with, so this combat change came at a very, very, VERY, wrong time, if only SOE did something that actually brought more loyal members to the game then I'd proudly accept the difficulty change, I could do with a challenge, thats why I solo the Avatar platform or have swarms of lv90+ spiders chasing down my alt when grinding, but what SOE's given me is a cliff to jump off, its that ridiculously impossible, I have one of the best bloody lightsabers and stat suits lol, difficulty change should be moved to a time when the game really gets more players, not now.
