AuggySW Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The one thing that made 4.0 amazing,being able to solo things aside from FP and OPS, is now gone. I keep forgetting this is a failed MMO and has bad devs making direction changes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amodin Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) How bad is it? I'm at work still and haven't been able to log in to check things out. Testing two characters with hard numbers, mine dropped 75%. I am not exaggerating it. Pierce was consistently healing me at 5300 crits, normal ticks were 4000. Now, he crits at 1330, normal ticks at 787. Consistent numbers across the board with different ranked companions healing. Damage dropped considerably, but I haven't tested those numbers. I was mostly worried about the healing and tanking companions, as I play tanks mostly. I have two healing characters, one that Bioware STILL has not fixed to allow me to continue with the story, and the other I am not bothering with, because tanking companion literally have 0 armor right now. That isn't going to be fixed until the next patch. Edited November 18, 2015 by Amodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like powerful companions were game breaking like a dupe exploit or something of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They no longer care about feedback or testing, decide a change push it live. if they lose people they lose people. Reminds me of another SW MMO, i used to play. Although they haven't gotten quite that bad YET!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game dont play itself anymore! #ragequit No. A nerf to healing would be fine,but you don't nerf it by 70% and still advertise KOTFE as a great solo game and "kotor 3".

RAVM Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 So forget companion heals if that's the main thing that was nerfed and go with tank. I was going with tank comps before and I found them invincible for anything solo. [Disclaimer: I haven't tried out the changes yet.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadRanger Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm pretty well convinced that Bioware hired some of Ghostcrawler's old gang, maybe even some of the incompetent new development team from Blizzard. It's like they're remaking the game for some imaginary untapped player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of another SW MMO, i used to play. Although they haven't gotten quite that bad YET!!!!!! oh, yes they have. yes, they have. when you take into the account what happened on patch 2.7, 3.0 and 4.0. when they removed abilities, merged abilities, and changed abilities from active to passive. effectively dumbing down the game for a more casual simple minded gamer community. its Combat Upgrade and New Game Enhancements all over again. just spread out over a 1 year period. stand back and look at the bigger picture. the core game has changed. it was a lot of small changes over time but it is not the same MMORPG that was launched. its not even in the same direction. classes just dont have that original launch feel anymore. dont get me started on companions and the turd sandwich that is tanking stats they have. its a joke. they are barbie dolls that follow you around making snide remarks. I made a Sith just to slap Lana for being the whore that she is. KOTFE is not star wars. its wow with glowsticks. it just doesnt make sense and departs from the core class stories far too much.

goodnamebro Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You must be someone who has the time to put 100+ hours into a MMO a week. Loser mode engage. Wait, says someone whos thread is about jumping back into WOW... another MMO... because he's currently displeased with a change made in this... MMO... And calling out someone else an MMO no lifer, alright then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merdred Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I loved nearly everything about the expansion. After a few hours I immediately re-sub'd and have had great fun ever since. This nerf to companions changed that. I'll stop in for the story and play it...unless the nerf makes that a die 20x grind as well. Nothing fun or entertaining about being killed repeatedly, especially in a 'story based' game. Once my current sub runs out, I'll use f2p...no need to waste money on something I'll now only be getting a few hours of enjoyment from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meraxos Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm no fan of Blizzard but at least in WoW they know how to make and test incremental changes. I remember copious patch notes detailing a 3% buff to that talent or a 5% nerf. But Bioware seems to have one tool for making adjustments: a sledgehammer. And they don't think before they start swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting this is a failed MMO and has bad devs making direction changes now. I mean, why waste this space on the internet? I mean really, why create such useless thread. Not only do you create it with such ridiculous reason behind it but you still come back to the thread in a game you no longer play as of what, a few hours ago? I mean why? In what logic can you justify this stupidity? If this is enough to make you quit, I bet your the type of person that quits on the second day at a job because you was called a poo poo head and you justify how the entire world is stupid and not you. Later hoss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell are you on about? I've got 30+ combat abilities on keybind. What's a good number for you? 50? I wish they would 'dumb' this game down.

And they don't think before they start swinging. Yup, it's as simple as taking 2 freaking seconds to think about the repurcussions of your actions before making huge sweeping changes. Garrison grind is basically the only thing that turned me off of WoW in WoD, Alliance grind is probably even worse than that now with the nerf.
