In my experience, Force Speed without a root or stun is not enough to escape with gap closers being as they are. You don't run far enough to avoid the leap.

Every class balance change makes me wish PvP and PvE had totally separate specs.

You know you're wrong, right? If you truly believe Shadows are the worst tanks, then you don't understand how mitigation and avoidance works in this game.

Just cancelled my sub Bioware. Well done.

I think I will wait until the game is free, and then I won't be charged for an experience you keep butchering. Perhaps by then you will have stopped killing PVE. I doubt it, but I can hope.
Free things for you and I

Would you mind at least commenting on WHAT it is you disliked?! I see a HUGE boost for my PvE groups and PvE gameplay. What specifically are you complaining about?!
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Congrats EA. You did something that I didn't think was possible. You actually made Resolve WORSE.

Stellar job.

Tell me EA, are you capable of making changes that the players ACTUALLY WANT?
I didn't think anything could top the stupidity of no new group content in Fallen Empire...

...then Level Sync happened.

Post after post of complaints about Maras and PTs (I never called for nerfs; just observing), and the devs nerf two of three defensive abilities of sorcs/sages, the primary targets of Maras and PTs? I don't understand. Overload is now an offensive-only ability since you don't turn around to face the guy you're running away from. .

BTW, I never had a problem with being attacked with Overload as a Sorc. Just line up with the Sorc/Sage so that the puny knockback knocks you back but you stay on the platform. The KB distance is not far at all.

Help me to under your plan to make PVP enjoyable!

Leave sents and marauders crazy unbalanced because NO ONE AT ALL is complaining about them ever. Everyone playing your game find them a really enjoyable class to be up against!

Continue to allow the highest DPS class in PVP to be a tank because, again, NO ONE AT ALL thinks this is stupid and everyone would like people in heavy armour to continue to be unstoppable DPS machines.

Make ganking more common by increasing the power of stealth. This is something people always say when PVPing ... I hate it SO much when I have the chance to fight an opponent. I like it much more when I'm just running around and something drops out of stealth and kills me instantly. That is SO MUCH FUN!

Make it so healers can heal better and / or get away from combat easier. Because it is SO MUCH FUN beating on a opponent in PVP it is impossible to kill and can just run from your while healing itself. GOOD TIMES!

I understand what must be happening; your not enjoying being part of this failure any more then your players and you just want everyone to quit so you can shut down the servers and get on with your lives. You are doing a FANTASTIC job working towards that goal.
