FULL AUTO AND MORTAR VOLLEY: Blatantly Broken

signed and can we get sticky?

I leveled up a Bounty Hunter Powertech tank, loved the combat. So I thought I'd love the Trooper. But it only took my second turn using these skills to realize that something was wrong. Why the heck is that channel bar almost done before the skill even fires off? Something isn't right here.

I was even more surprised when patch 1.1 dropped today and this still wasn't fixed. What the heck BioWare? This is so obvious I noticed it right away. How did this make it past any one in your internal testing?

Seriously, fix this. It's obviously broken and not working properly.

Bump totally on this one.

Bioware needs to get on this soon. The lack of caring in the light of all of their stumbles is abysmal.

ill keep playing for now...with mortar volley and full auto broken!

but sooner or later, it will trigger a nerve and I'll just quit swtor...because I'm not going to keep paying people who doesn't listen to customers

they have not responded in 35 pages of complaints...that's a problem

...like netflix??

They aren't responding because they can't fix it in the near foreseeable future. Remember Age of Conan and the female Bear Shaman animations? Same issue, delays in the damage due to the animations and it didn't get fixed for a long time (actually, I'm not sure if it ever was since I quit that game early on). I assume Bioware isn't responding to this since there is no easy fix for this issue and if they come out and say it now, it'll result in a sizable chunk of the players just not bothering with leveling up another class and quitting the game. So I guess their logic is to just not bother with an official stance and hope that players get used to it after a while and the problem will go away on its own.

Rerolled from Bounty Hunter Mercenary to Trooper Commando yesterday after 1.1 patch came out (don't like fighting with a zerg; dull as hell) and I have noticed these issues as well. Mortar Volley doesn't start untill halfway through the channel, while Death from Above starts right away. Same goes for Full Auto when compared to Unload.

Now, you can say this is because the Trooper has to "prepare" or "steady himself," but from a PVP point of view this is just like shooting yourself in the foot. I'm a PVP'er, so I'd like my skills to work the way they're supposed to; to stand around for a second or more, having to wait for the abbility to actually start, is something that can easily put you at a disadvantage, since you're basically fiddling about, waisting time that could have been used for other things.

I hope they fix these issues sometime soon, because I can't really see myself enjoying PVP on Trooper as much as I did on Mercenary if two of the main attack skills aren't working as well on this class as they do on their Empirial mirror.

Are they even aware of the problem? or do they even care.

I don't want to go all conspiracy theory, but every single bug affects the Republic; when was the last time that bug or issue gave Republic the upper hand?

Honestly man, I don't think they will ever be able to fix the problems with mirror classes and ability delays. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing. It's sickening.

No, they need to get on it yesterday.

That and knight PvE buffs.

And Assassin Mitigation

And Random Load screens

And Dungeon Finder

And Armor Coloring

And Addons

And ...

Why was this game released again?



Then they will die and fade away from people's memories. Such is the way of the MMO.

Unless they show they care about real issues (and I'm talking PvE/Class mechanics NOT retarded PvP attempts) in the next month, I'll be unsubbing and going either back to everquest 2, which is old sure but their features make other MMOs pale in comparison or I'll simply wait for GW2.

Hell, this whole crap experience might have convinced me to "go back to WoW" which I quit at the start of cataclysm. Was bioware's intent to make us realise just how good the combat balance is at their main competitor's?
