First of all, the carebear comments are ridiculous. The PvP in this game is not skill dependent. That's why folks avoid the PvP aspect of the game, not because they are afraid of PvP. as the "carebear" comment implies. Secondly, PvP is only one aspect of the game. Some of us choose to play the entire game (both pvp and pve) as the developers intended. Just because you only want to focus on a single aspect doesn't make you a special snowflake. In short, get over yourself.

Funny, that's what EQ players said about WoW.

In game holiday events are quaint, and I don't want them. I'd prefer they take any effort they'd put into a holiday event and spend that energy on bug fixes, new operations, etc.

Would the Arkanian RW be a better choice than the Underworld Absorb relic, until we down the boss in DP that drops the Dread Forged RW relic?

It's all relative. No one is going to bench a Jugg, Guardian, or PT tank to suddenly start bringing a Shadow just because 2.5 came out. In the big picture it's not that big of a deal.

Thank you for adding those averages, very helpful.

where do I find the values for a 2200 mitigation budget these days?

When will we see black/black, white/white, and all these new exciting color combo dye modules that have been hyped appear on the cartel market? At least let us know what is going on.... forum post searches yield nothing informative on this topic.

This thread is completely illogical, from the op throughout the comments. Cartel packs are not gambling, nor are they illegal. EA is a company who profits from disposable income. They have an obligation to increase shareholder return on investment, so they have devised a legitimate, legal plan by which to do so. Your role is: a) play the game and ignore the cartel market b) play the game and utilize the cartel market, or c) don't play the game Nerdrage, hyperbole, and infatuation with playing digital barbie aside, it is really that simple. You can play the entire game, all content, without ever once touching the cartel market.

Voice acting and animated cut scenes are cost prohibitive. They simply don't have the resources.

Take your pompous entitlement and blow it out your airlock. "Living it up on our dime in Germany..." are you an EA shareholder, or just a consumer of EA products? It isn't up to you how employees spend their money, or their time, nor is it any of your business how EA allocates marketing dollars. "They are being lazy and cheap by not giving us what we want..." They owe you nothing other than what you've already purchased from them. Apparently you want them to adopt a different business model than the one they have chosen. You should show up at a shareholder meeting and voice your concerns to those who can make such decisions. Bashing employees for doing what their bosses tell them to do is a fool's game. Don't be a fool.

Or, log in, enjoy the game, and assume that it will take a couple days to stabilize? It's hardly a "game breaking" bug.

Exalted imperial agent legacy gear is the only one I know of.

Pretty much sums it up.

That is an epic HK customization - please, devs, restore it!!!
