Ravage!!!???

As long as you keep playing solo, do whatever you like. But if you group with other people it should be common courtesy to play to the best of one's abilities...

I hate this change. I honestly don't even feel like playing the game anymore.

The worst part is I don't even understand why. "It adds mobility" for what? Raids? Last time I checked there are no new raids nor are they planning on adding any.

The loss of the channel abilities suck. They added an epic feel to the classes.

Ravage, Flamethrower.

Been subbed since launch I know it might seem silly and dumb to others but this actually makes me want to call it quits.

I think I am done. The channel abilities were in the simplest of terms fun and added something unique to the classes. If the plan is to replace fun for a more simple approach as turning an ability such as Ravage into another boring swing I'm just done. Way to take a good thing after 5 years and ruin it.

Funny story, I was actually just fantasizing about making one of those cheeky romance videos, where they stick an object into a romantic scene and I would put the Blade Barrage icon in there.

Though before you set me on fire and murder me so hard that my ancestor's firstborn son dies, the animation is nothing special to me. I'm just loving the combat pacing. With sentinel/mara alacrity spec, the rotation pace is no longer fast, fast, fast, slooooooooow moooootioooon, fast, fast, fast.

It feels much more alive now. My only wish is that I could attack with the centering speed buff all the time.

I don't think it's terrible. Would be a lot better without the red glow.

However, even if it doesn't look as good, I find this one of the few changes I actually like. Function > Appearance any day.

This, and mobility > flashy animations. Old ravage would have been useless in these new uprisings where you're taking on like 30 mobs at once.

This sums up how I feel.

I am (was) here for the vanilla content, of which I have a lot left to see. And at this point, having so much time and money invested in the game, before 5.0 hit I couldn't have imagined any changes that would make me want to walk away and leave the remainder of the class stories unseen.

But between this, and the PvP weapons I earned all of a sudden no longer being usable by me, and the stupid DvL popups... Never mind how bad the new content is, or how little of it there is - even for someone who just wants to do the original content, there's so much lameness subsuming it.

I get that you guys don't have the budget you used to and can't make new stuff at the level of the original stuff. That would seem to be all the more reason NOT to take away all the cool old stuff. And yet...you keep taking it away.

It's not THAT bad. It animates so quickly I don't even notice it really.

I think that's the point, they want to see the slow butchery rather than a more realistic speed.


And people hate change.

I don't like the new animation. The old one was one of the best in game (IMO, obviously). What's worse is that my rhythm is all off now. I'm so used to waiting three seconds before hitting my next skill that my JK performs her new, stupid little twirl and stands there for another two seconds before I realize that nothing is happening. I'll get used to the new rhythm, obviously, but it's a vexation on top of getting rid of a good animation in favor of having them do an ice skater twirl

Worst animation they ever did. For sith AND jedi.
