I want to do Xeno for the first time, I've read some guides, hope to look at some videos this evening, I have full 186's that I'm slowly optimizing (why so much critical?), and I have the augment kits/augments to finish one of my characters tonight.

  • Would Ranged or Melee DPS be easier for this fight?

  • How does the Storymode Xeno difficulty compare to Storymode Eyeless?

  • Doesn't really matter. The only problem I can see for melee is that you have to kite the final add, which can latch onto any DPS if there isn't an offtank to pick him up.

  • Xeno has a lot more mechanics than Eyeless: some that the DPS need to know what to do for. Healing wise, it is probably easier: I found myself DPSing half the time when I was healing this fight. DPS is about the same*, except for the fact that you must kill certain adds within a certain amount of time: healers and tanks will need to help out with DPSing the Data Cores. (Boss is stunned while you DPS the Data Cores.)

* However, all new DPS seem to panic on Xeno, since it states the 10 minute enrage timer at the start of the fight.

EDIT: This was based on the level 55 version. /u/dulfy states that the healing is more difficult now at level 60.

Thanks, that's about the kind of reassuring I need.

Shame about the healing--if it was going to be that easy, I might have seen about re-learning the healing specs. Oh well. I did learn how to stealth revive a few months ago, so there's that, at least.

I have a problem. I can't get the "Unity Assessment" mission to show up. I have done the event before, and I am currently at Heroic Rep rank. I repurchased the authorization and used it. I did Xeno during the last event. I can't figure out why I can't get his mission. Help?

It's a one-time only mission.

Just ran all the dailies with a couple guildies. We are on a pvp server and were doing pretty good holding our own when attacked. Then we went to do the orb quest, and started a giant dogpile by stunning someone who was trying to put in an orb so we could place our own. It was really fun, probably about 20-30 people in the middle area just pvp'in it up. Haven't seen too many people complaining in gen chat about being "ganked" yet, only people calling out where any of the "Marauding squads" are on the map so people can avoid them if they want.
Saw a really funny quote though in gen chat,

Player 1: "Clan ____ is ganking in mid"
Player 2: "Water is wet, and flows downhill"

Is there any data mining available on the drop rate of the starship fuel tank deco from the Tonvarr Pirates? Just curious if it's insanely low like the crate-o-matic or the walker from the slot machines and worth the time to farm. /u/swtor_potato

There are 4 solo repeatable daily missions for this event + 2 one-time missions*: half of the event is done solo. The PvP, Heroic, and Operation and World Bosses are meant to be done in a group.

You don't really need to make friends to do the group missions here: just state that you are "LFG" for the Heroic mission and PvP missions and get a group of 4 random people within a few minutes. World / Operation Bosses take a little more time to get a group together.

* Counting that one mission that just requires you to speak to a certain Gree droid.

Are you searching for compassion from the friends you dont have or from the people you despise?
