So this means that they don't have much perspective on the classes balance in pve?
Or do the pve developers have a say in class balance as well.
Considering that the balance in the game is exceptionally good and PvE, apart from animations, hasn't been affected that much, we should hope they keep doing what they are doing instead of making up something to whine about.

I mean, you didn't even know this before and NOW you're worried about it? If the guys were incompetent, there would have been more complaining about it. Seems to me you just jumped on the chance to be "concerned" about something to have an excuse to complain.

The pve balance in this game is not very good at all. Considering how all rdps classes are inferior to sniper / slinger, and all mdps classes are inferior to marauder / sentinel. PVE has been affected quite a bit, powertechs for example have gone from being one of the top dps, to close to the worst, assassins and operatives still have no real use in pve other than tanks and healer.

pve and pvp are two completely different things and each one will give different feedback on how a class should be balanced, the pvp team should not be the only people who have a say on class balance.

What game are you guys playing?

Seems to me every class can breeze through all PvE levelling content without any trouble at all. We are balanced to the point of being generic. The only difference I can see at all is that my DPS characters might actually have to use a medkit once in a while.

Shadow/Assasin are nearly immortal with a healing companion.

What game are you playing -- seriously?

EVERY DPS class is capable of putting out comparable numbers. In fact, the number gap has been constantly closing. And sniper is hardly OP -- or even outdoing most of the other DPS classes. Just 'easier' to play.

Heartily agree.

That is what your adult mind thought would be a good use of your time and effort, sidetracking a very basic question, so that other people would hear your opinion on something that you don't even care that much about."--Atownarmy

If you'll read what I posted I never said that a DPS class cannot do any content, sure every class can do all the ops. However marauders / snipers bring the highest DPS and all the utility. That's not very well balanced.

Show me a parse of an operative DPS pulling numbers anywhere near a sniper in the same gear on the same boss.

How many of us work at BIOWARE? I'm pretty sure most of these post are from individuals who have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what goes into making, maintaining an MMO. I sure as hell don't. Personally I would be like, if you like the game fine, if you don't play something else. Bugs will happen.

PVP is the black sheep of this game. I too am frustrated with the lack of content for PVP. But I still love the game.

I know this would never happen but if there could be some kinda balance to PVP, like a certain amount of tanks, healers, dps. That would be nice. Also what's with the door times on Void Star?

Snipers need accuracy
Operatives dont

So "same" gear is not really a definitive test. Both need optimized gear.
