LeonHawkeye Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Done. Last month for me though, if no proper signs are shown by development, I am out of here. Re-rolling is not an acceptable solution to balance failure by the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRepublicRevan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I know this has been suggested before .... Allowing Mercs/Commandos to cast certain abilities on the move (like grav round/charged bolts) would have next to no impact on PVE, but would it make them overpowered in PVP? I'd find that hard to be believe. Or maybe making charged bolts an instant and lowering the damage but having it apply plasma cell 100% of the time would work out well... God forbid a merc could free cast anything on the run. Too OP imo. Class needs to be nerfed more if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, you think Merc's are to OP because you might be the first to say that since 1.2 hit scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxmob Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) the circumstances necessary to achieve 1mil+ damage have nothing to do with the class. you need an opposing team stacked with healers and a full 15m warzone. chances of getting absurdly high damage numbers goes through the roof in those circumstances. there's no timer on CW or NC is there? in rated, i've had some epic battles for the middle nodes. often wondered if it was possible to do that ad infinitum.

NC is 30 minutes, I don't think anyone has had an actual stalemate ACW though, hard when turrets fire with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asukaa Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Posting a new vid soon. Took me awhile to get it done as I couldn't spend much time on it on a daily basis.

Azrienov Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The class still could use a chance at getting back in the saddle. After what they did to powertechs, I think 1.2 mercs were not that bad at all. I think alot of it was the pre-expertise gaming where my pyro could put out that same amount of damage. Some tweaking to tracer missile and make the other attacks good, but honestly, when people realized they had an interrupt Arsenal merc was GG'd. I refuse to let this thread fall off the front page. Its got alot of good opinions and honestly, if a dev scans this at all I want him to see this every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got alot of good opinions and honestly, if a dev scans this at all I want him to see this every time.I can't speak for the devs but I imagine all the best intentions are there. I'm sure they're doing the best they can with reduced resources to transition this game and ensure it survives. I suspect the commando/merc PvP issue is "on the list" and will be addressed in time. Keep up the drum beat tho, so it stays on the radar. It's a real issue, despite those few unproven PvP demigods who like to pretend otherwise.

I wish I could believe that, but 1.4 just left me seriously doubting that. At best, they have good intentions and no clue how to implement those changes, which what do you know here's a thread full of some good ideas! The fundamental lack of understanding which the last round of changes revealed was just staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nassik Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't know about good intentions. Looking at the patch notes, there's no mention of bounty hunters anywhere. So here we are at version 1.4.3 and the mercenary is still being ignored. At best, it's a mild neglect. At worst, it's willful ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I don't believe they have ever made any class balance change outside of major patches. They may have changed an ability here or there because it was not working as intended, but you're going to be waiting until at least 1.5 before you see any significant changes.
