You might be mixing it up with what the 15 min achievement says...which is also wrong, but people think that is a bug. ( It says the talking time does not count, but it absolutely does. )



Quote: And really, the only disadvantage I see for someone who has done only PvP is that their companions won't have as high of an influence rank. As long as you have the 208 rated token gear, you are going to be fine, hell even the 208 PvP gear is going to be enough. Sure someone with 224 PvE Operation gear will have a slight advantage, especially if they have the full set bonus, but I wouldn't say it's an advantage that is going to make it unfair.



At least for the speed run challenge, they really should have done a level sync type of thing where everyone has the same stats, or stated it was just intended for those that have maxed out their gear/companion/etc. Actually, they said the opposite. They said it DOES count, because it is the time from picking up the quest ( which is outside the zone wall ), until you turn it in ( which is again outside, so you have to zone twice. )You might be mixing it up with what the 15 min achievement says...which is also wrong, but people think that is a bug. ( It says the talking time does not count, but it absolutely does. )The gear makes a significant difference, and that makes a massive difference on HOW you do it. The more damage you can do, the more you can run with your companion in DPS mode, and the more you can ignore mechanics that would cause you to deal less damage. ( IE: You can stand in fire, continuing to use all of your most powerful abilities, versus having to run out of the fire and being forced to use only ranged instant abilities while moving. )At least for the speed run challenge, they really should have done a level sync type of thing where everyone has the same stats, or stated it was just intended for those that have maxed out their gear/companion/etc. Dark Lord Zemerick, Leader of Imperium Inferi, and destroyer of hope.
