Developer Update: Class Changes and Balance in Game Update 1.4

I would be happy if they would just get rid of the resolve system as is, or at least fix it so that the following would happen:
1. It actually works the way it is supposed to, instead of getting stunned when you have full resolve, or being immune to stuns / knockbacks when you have no resolve built up at all.
2. Once you reach full resolve, all movement impairing effects currently on you go away and you become immune to all slows, roots and snares as well as stuns.

Quite frankly, I am getting sick and tired of STUN Wars PVP. I couldn't tell you how many times I have been completely stun-locked with full resolve, gotten killed and appeared in the respawn point with 3/4 of a full resolve bar.

If people are going to continually spam their stuns against their opponents, then the opponents need to become completely IMMUNE to it at some point, which I believe is the original intent behind the resolve system in the first place.

If you won't fix resolve, then at least give us a 30 second stun break instead of a 1 minute cool-down.

Thus far, it seems like this game is going to the old "Squeakiest wheel gets the oil" routine. So maybe the PVE driven players need to start trolling and yelling more? I'd hate to resort to that but, it seems that may be the only thing the devs. are hearing right now. I have nothing against PVP play, I am just not at all interested due to all the egos that tend to get involved. Just not my thing. My boyfriend and I are SW fans through and through. So... if you want to cater to the PVP..fine but, do it on PVP worlds/areas only. If the PVE'ers keep getting the short end of the stick... my boyfriend and are going to look into another game. I know our $30 a month is just a drop in the bucket but, there's other games who will not deviate from the class lore of their characters the way that has been done here...and they'd love to have that money.

With some exception, the game can be broken down into two different kinds of players. No one should be better than the other and one should not cater to the other. Each has it's own mindset and reason for being in the game.

Common sense solution... Keep PVP on their own servers.... make adjustments to all their demands as you see fit and let them duke it out! Balance away! Keep PVE on their own servers and leave it be! Add some content.
OR
Create a different set of skills used that activate once you enter a PVP area or while playing Huttball.


LEAVE PVE ALONE PLEASE!
Would be nice to see the game hold on to at least some integrity to classes.

If they wanted to balance the classes in PvP but not affect PvE, it's pretty simple way of doing it. It's called the EXPERTISE stat on the PvP gear. Right now, the stat affects all players/classes equally against other players, but not against PvE encounters.

What if they adjusted it so expertise had a different impact for say Marauders/Powertechs and increased it for some other classes? For example, at around 1250 expertise you get +22% damage buff to players. Well, for Marauders and Powertechs, that could be reduced to say 12% at 1250. That's a 10% damage reduction in PvP with no impact on PvE.

The mechanics are there to do this, but instead they want to add more stuns to try to reduce the effectiveness of the overpowered classes. Of course, those overpowered classes will also get to stun you more often as well, but that isn't an issue since overpowered classes don't need stuns to win.
