I don't think they increased server caps, I think people quit...

I'm one of those people, once I hit 50 and the story euphoria wore off I just couldn't bring myself to play anymore. I do like the game but it's not what I was expecting from the 3 years of hype they put us through. Anyone remember "fast paced combat"? I was waiting for a combat system similar to Terra online or DCUO but all we got was a hotkey MMO similar to WoW with a few improvements/changes. Also the fact there are no cities and all we get as one is a giant space circle that is the same for both factions played a huge roll in changing my opinion of this game. I'm sure this game will go on to be a great MMO but not for me. I had my fill of hotkey mmo's from 6 years of warcraft. I have my sights set on GW2 right now, yeah it uses hotkeys but the actual combat system looks fun and intuitive plus the world isn't a dead barren wasteland like they are in this game. -
The worst part is the re-hashed gameplay that inevitably leaves you bored and unfulfilled sitting on the fleet in the queue for pvp or spamming LFG HM ANY for hours wondering what happened to your life

WoW is the brave hero that swtor looked up to when it was but a wee lad and kept saying "when I grow up I'm gonna be just like WoW!"

You realize that you don't HAVE to stay in cover in one spot, you can move elsewhere and crouch and if you have melee on you then you're playing sniper wrong.

Sniper is definitely a fun class but it is pretty challenging. We really don't have many utility powers and we can't really tank that much damage (except high level engineering specced snipers) but if played correctly we can do massive amounts of damage pretty quickly and hopefully kill any threat before it even gets a chance to hit us. Sniper requires a very patient approach to combat instead of "force leap in AOE SMASH RAWR RAGE POINTS SMASH THE STRIKE BUTTON" You need to look at each enemy in a group and decide who youre going to leg shot/flash bang who to nuke down quickly and when to use CD's. If you read on the forums most people complain about snipers sucking...they don't. Not by a long shot, I've had success with MM and lethality in pvp and pve and engineering is just god mode for pve (terrible at pvp though, except area denial with the final talent) This class is all about energy management, since it doesnt regen at a constant rate you need to keep it above 60 for the 5 energy/sec and should only ever go below that when you need to do a lot of damage quickly (engineering has a little lee-way on this though) I'd give sniper an 8/10, it's a hard class to play but has huge potential.

I personally love our AoE blind, using it in a huge skirmish and blinding half he enemy team is one of my favorite things to do
-
If you're lethality crit directly affects your energy regen so it's lovely for lethality but you should'nt stack a single stack. I'd say focus on Power, Accuracy, and Crit. (missing a corrosive grenade is a very sad thing)

Agents use a sniper/knives...I think that's fitting, don't you? Just because some character with about 30 minutes of screen time and the worst death in all of movie history has a rifle you think BH's should all use rifles? If you want rifles go play a trooper.

This wins.

When does sniper get some AOE abilities
applepie replied to Daedricshots's topic in Gunslinger / Sniper
go engineering, 3 seconds CD on frag grenade with like +15% aoe dmg and then 30% aoe crit damage spamming frag grenades all day! plus plasma probe at 40 is amazing -
You wanna use Cull BEFORE weakening blast. Cull counts towards the 10 charges of weakening blast and you want your poisons to get the full benefit and Cull drains the charges VERY quickly.

I hate twitter as well, but you don't need to freaking sign up to go on his twitter. Just go to twitter.com/rockjaw and leave it up in a seperate tab. It won't kill you, I promise.
