  1. The Critical Blow upgrade CD reduction isn't applying properly, I can't even tell if the rest of it is working. I counter-tested with the Guardian Slash ability and that worked perfectly, so something's up with that.
  2. Can we get some clarification on this please? Why the change - or rather, change back? I thought the initial reason for changing the conquest timers in the first place was to allow for earlier setting of targets at the beginning of a conquest event. Why take that away? I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite?
  3. Relatively minor, I know, but on my recent playthrough of my Shadow through the Consular storyline, I noticed that anytime she was meant to draw her saber in cutscenes it just appears in her hand out of nowhere already activated. My guess is something got borked in the draw animations in the supermodel, so I would probably start there. It's also likely a problem on the Assassin.
  4. This is still an issue - when can we expect a response? Right now, the only tactical worth using is Thermal Screen. Would be nice to have something to help mitigate mass AoE mob damage - both other tanks have something similar.
  5. Well, that's even worse, seeing as the crates don't like to hand them out either.
  6. BioWare needs to put a better system in place to counteract the RNG-aspect of gearing. The SoW Vendor needs to stop being RNG-based. I don't care if everything on that vendor starts costing ten times as many tech frags at this point, I just spent over 9k frags trying to get the Superior Bastion Enhancement 80 from the guy. Bought 52 and none of them were what I wanted. RNG-wise, I have a 1/126 chance to get what I want, and from what I can tell, there's no actual protection against RNG in place. I know they won't pay this post the time of day, I just needed to vent, I guess.
  7. I became aware of this a few days ago. I can absolutely accept that they were necessary for the island. I'm still not big on forgiving the filmmakers for putting them on the Falcon, Chewbacca clearly didn't want them there. They were tearing the place up!
  8. The world has, sadly, never worked that way, and it will, sadly, only get worse from here.
  9. Again, fair enough. And I'm actually excited to see where the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance goes from here - especially with the two main characters on opposing sides being connected the way they are.
  10. Which is hilarious, when you consider that the length and dragging-ness of the movie is one of the major global complaints. But I totally agree with this thread. If you don't like TLJ, you have your reasons, and I respect them (except for coming in with so many expectations that you were bound to be disappointed). But don't attack others who enjoyed it because their opinion differs from yours. That doesn't do anything constructive, nor does it promote honest discussion, which is half the fun of Star Wars.
  11. I meant I felt like Ben in general, just me personally in regards to Snoke.
  12. That's a fair point. A not-so-subtle inference of being your own worst enemy. But again, Holdo was the only reason it was necessary, which, again, adds to character development for Poe. Just like their situation, it's a no-win scenario. But yeah, looking at the movie from the POV of the theme makes a few things more bearable. Except the porgs, of course.
  13. What can I say about this movie that hasn’t been said by many others already, even myself? I guess there’s only one way forward – just vent. I’ll start by saying this – I loved the movie, so much so that I would in fact consider it one of my all-time favorites, that list not being confined to Star Wars. I’ll get to why further down this wall of text. There are some obvious flaws, and I want to start with those. The porgs are a marketing tactic – there, I said it, and I’m fairly certain that this one thing most people can agree on. They serve no purpose save giving Chewbacca something to do. They take too much time away from the actual good parts of the movie. That’s all I can say about them. The subplot with Poe and Holdo – in the end, it just felt like artificial drama that was put in to give the theme another leg to stand on. However, my feelings on this are mixed. There are really only two things I despise about it. The first is that it makes Poe, the most talented pilot and battle commander in the Resistance, look like a glory-seeking moron. They could have taken so many other directions with this subplot without cutting it out completely, but it was put in so Poe could learn the difference between glory and sacrifice, and that’s it. However, the fleet was in a no-win situation, and I understand the reluctance on the part of Holdo, so that kind of balances things out. The second thing, though, is that it also spawned the Space Vegas sequence. Let me be clear – the only reason why I despise Space Vegas is that it, once again, spent too much time focusing on something that, in the end, didn’t matter. It meant nothing, it had no bearing on the rest of the story, no difference was made. But, again, that kind of balances itself with the theme of the work. I’ll leave it there. The way they temporarily removed Leia from the picture was both awesome… and ridiculous. Enough said there. Lastly, the film was extremely wishy-washy in many areas, as if the writers couldn’t decide what they wanted to have happen, or what they wanted to be true. That ended up sinking into the plot, but not the characters, and that’s the first thing that this film got right. It was extremely gutsy. It focused on a concept that was briefly touched upon in some of the other movies – failure. It defied audience expectations at just about every turn, sometimes for good, sometimes not so good. Be warned, this is where I become a bit more biased. Snoke’s death is, arguably, the hardest part of this movie for me to swallow. I feel like Ben just thinking about it – inner conflict and turmoil. In the end, I decided I couldn’t exactly pass judgement on it until I see what it means for the final movie. The way they handled Luke… I can’t actually put it into words how much I enjoyed Luke’s character arc in this movie. The way they went against the grain, the way they established him as one of the central figures of the theme, it was unexpected, yet extremely refreshing, something that this film desperately needed. Then there’s the bond between Rey and Ben (I say Ben because that’s who it feels like Rey is connecting with, not Kylo) – oh. My. Goodness! That still has me gushing and hoping that they continue to evolve their relationship in Episode IX. It’s also one of the things that makes me scared for Episode IX. But by far, my favorite part of this movie is how much it made me feel. I felt for these characters, I felt for their circumstances, and in the end, I felt like I was “being torn apart”, the film invoked so much in me. Maybe it’s because I’m a wimp, maybe I’m just a sucker for delicious angst, maybe it’s just because I can relate to the characters, but after I saw the film (five days ago), I spent the whole time since thinking ‘No! They can’t leave it like that!’ But, of course, they could, they did, and in fact, they had to. Remember how I said I’m a sucker for delicious angst? My personal counter to that is it needs an equally satisfying end. I’ve never been so full of hope, yet so lacking in optimism. And the thing I hate the most is that I must wait two years to see if everything does, in fact, fall to crap. So, yeah, I love this film, but I’m unsure I’ll be able to handle seeing it again until the next one comes out.
  14. Yep. Blizzard (WoW) has a full Battle.net account-wide ignore.
  15. Nahariel Pridence from Smuggler Tatooine (Can't stand Risha, Akavi's worse) Really, that's it.
