DubFanahtic Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 LOL. Stated as BW has acknowledged they will shortly be allowing people to transfer to the AC that they didn't pick at level 10. The end of the Merc problem. Wait what, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klham Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) If this is true then i wonder how long it will be before each faction simply has four classes with five skill trees each, with lots more hybrid specs running around. That could do a lot for game diversity depending how it's done, given the current prevalence of cookie-cutter fotm specs in PvP (Smash, Pyro, Tanksin). I almost fell off my chair in surprise the last time a Powertech pulled out Retractable Blade on me in a WZ. Oh, and just to really shake things up put a trinket in the Cartel Market that temporarily awards two additional skill points for 24 hrs. Stackable up to three times...

The end of the Merc problem. Staying commando for PVE. Being able to change ACs is no more acceptable than simply telling us to reroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klham Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It would definitely be the easy way out if it's done strictly to resolve class balance issues, but I don't think that's where the demand is coming from mostly. I think ppl just want to try out the other AC without having to level a second toon through the same content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ppl just want to try out the other AC without having to level a second toon through the same content. Fair enough, and I have to admit that if you could switch anytime for a fee and could switch back without rebuying all your skills I'd heavily consider it just for the novelty. I've had a powertech that's been stagnated for awhile. Don't think for a second I won't be demanding they have to keep trying to fix commando though.

The sad part about it is that even as a commando I now totally focus mercs deliberately for the free kill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ppl just want to try out the other AC without having to level a second toon through the same content. I solved that issue by rolling the opposite AC on the opposite faction. I will eventually have all 8 ACs to see all the story lines. Edited November 22, 2012 by Smashbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTomorrow Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Just make arsenal mers when they have their shield on be immune to charge and pull. They need to borrow so ideas fom snipers if they are to make this class viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelLBC Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Just make arsenal mers when they have their shield on be immune to charge and pull. They need to borrow so ideas fom snipers if they are to make this class viable. 2 minute cooldown. Dunno that it would help us much. Would be SOMETHING though. What do we do the other 108 seconds? Still you're right. Snipers are a ranged turret done right. Very well designed and well balanced. Wish they'd put that much thought into ALL the classes.

dejavy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'd say nerf Marauders, Juggernauts, Ssins, PTs, Opratives and you may not buff commandos then. /sarcasm off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarfunkz Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Merc is TERRIBLE in PvP... In any 1v1 fight with anything other than a merc you will lose. Every single decent skill the merc uses has a cast time, and can also be interupted. On top of that, they decreased the range of our stun by 2/3rds? Now the Merc class is even more horrible. You give us an interupt but but nerf our stun? Ridiculous. IT'S A RANGED CLASS! Give us our stun back... If you guys don't find a way to make the merc more competitive in PvP I am going to uninstall because merc is my main. So lets recap. Stun is worthless now, the interupt has a low range and can only be used to interupt certain things, but everything on merc can be interupted... Without a heat signature damage is crap and in PvP there isn't enough time to always get a heat signature on people. I could go on and on, please fix this class.... maybe u r terrible...

Stanimir Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) If left alone they do amazing damage. Trouble is, everyone knows their garbage in PvP and attacks you. If only we as a PvP community could agree to just collectively leave mercs alone, as an act of mercy and respect for their suffering.
