ANOTHER!

:cool:

Well we shall embrace the Devs Madness and delete our Sents and Marauders, thank you for not following the concerns of paying customers and presenting a big pile of BS. Oh thanks for posting the patchnotes and postponing the patch for one day, that should be enough time to ready our Alts that we are forced on for competitive Endgame.

I reallly hope you will stop faking statistics and realize that Sents are not viable and in an even worse position then in 3.0. Vanilarelease. I forgot John is upset with us having another oppinion and you stopped talking because a lot of people got overly mad about the three "L2play Noobz" posts in the Sent forums recently. "L2play noobz" is what a large majority of the Sent population understood from your posts so I will use this term to underline what a bad job you are doing in communication.

The Class representative system in its original form helped a lot more, as someone from the community can better transport what the community asks for compared to a CM who lacks any practical knowledge about the Class.

Didn't Czerka get disbanded by the Republic?

Slight typo towards the end:

Civilians saved during the Mission “Temporary Residence” now give consistently give proper credit.

Should read "Civilians saved during the Mission "Temporary Residence" now consistently give proper credit."

Although technically (I think), the verb should also be plural.

Tait :)

its all good

and thanks for nightlife

but please not forget fix in next patch 2 others achievements:

1) kill Makrin with fire on Makeb

2) receive 200k damage in Alderaan Warzone

you know that they are broken ?

For a 4 week patch quite a lot of bug fixes, always nice to see.

Any chance of getting new items at the nightlife vendor (like decorations) or will it be just the same as last year?

Reduced the damage done during the Olok the Shadow encounter in all modes.

Olok the Shadow is already a joke after you nerfed the adds on nightmare mode. Seriously, voids ticking for 1k a second and disappearing immediately? Players getting bored while waiting for the next row? I don't see how it was too difficult.

The Colossal Monolith now continues to use all of its abilities in addition to “Destruction of All” after completing the channel of “Breaking the Rift.”

These kind of changes need to be put in during a Tuesday patch. Because now groups will just be able to exploit him on Tuesday before the patch while other groups will have to do the full mechanic.

Players can no longer access the Custom Walkhar Auspice when not on the Mission “On the House.”

I suppose this means that players will no longer be able to get the achievement for Grundorsen Maelo now after they completed that quest? Because the only way to get into this area is with the speeder, and currently you can still click on the speeder once you finish this quest.

Too much giving! The credit shall flow!

"Give" is correct. The note could be shortened to "Civilians now give proper credit." Which is correct.

I do tend to agree it sounds better putting the adverb before the verb.

Nice try, better luck next time... Oh wait, there will not be a next time... Definitely goodbye SWTOR !

You are losing more and more players, and I really think you are getting straight in the wall.

• The Colossal Monolith now continues to use all of its abilities in addition to “Destruction of All” after completing the channel of “Breaking the Rift.”
  

It seems, it will no longer be possible to skip the color mechanic. I'm glad i got my mainhand, yesterday.

Please, PLEASE REVERT THE WATCHMAN/ANNIHILATION CHANGES. I actually *ENJOY* the current 3.0 playstyle, and the current iteration on the PTS was a chaotic mess of garbage. The community has posted all of the reasons why it DOES NOT WORK, but the response we got from the devs, while maybe intended to provide insight, was actually more insulting than anything and showed no respect for the hard work and detailed feedback the more mature and reasoned players gave.

PLEASE be as respectful to the sent/mara community as you were to the sorc/sage community and revert these changes until something more workable can be arrived at.

Tait :)

Highlights[/sizeCartel Market

Sure would be nice to see the Regal Apparel Miniskirt work for female characters in cut scenes again and remove the horribly clipping holster that got added to the Concealed Bodysuit ]and RV-03 Speedsuit] Belts. These are items that people used to CC to unlock account wide because we liked them, so it really sucks that the devs messed them up later and won't fix (or even acknowledge) the bugs.

• The internal cooldown of Hemorrhage’s rage regeneration has been reduced to 1 second (down from 4 seconds).
  

Hold your horses everyone. On the PTS the ICD on Hemorrhage was only reduced to 3 seconds. This could be a pretty substantial buff. I'm very interested in what theorycrafters think of this change, as a major issue with the new rotation previously was insufficient rage to use all the hard hitters on cooldown.

This is an early draft of the 3.2.1 notes. These notes are not final and are subject to change.

Yes, we know they're not final and subject to change Tait, but let's be real. We both know that they won't. If the past 6 months are anything to go by, you have no reason to.

You guys had 6 months of feedback all saying the exact gosh darn thing. "Fix Watchman. Revert back to the pre-3.x playstyle." And what did you do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

Only video game publishers can get away with patently, blatantly ignore their customers like this. This **** would never fly in any other industry. I now know I was right. Getting paid is the most demotivational thing that can happen to a corporation. You're making money hand over fist. Why would you care about improving your customer's experience with your product?

Thank you for confirming and justifying my decision to never touch Sentinel again.

I won't bother asking how any of you sleep because I already know your paychecks clearing have taken care of that.

Waiting to see if a change is an actual improvement is not the right way to message board.

Sith Inquisitor

Sorcerer

• Static Barrier now absorbs a higher amount of damage.
  

 

Can we please get something more specific than this. At least a percentage increase from current power level.

Probably just a typo. If not, maybe it won't be quite as bad as we thought, even if it's still not what the majority of sents/maras want.

Ah good to see "the death of a world" being fixed. As it is also good to know you realised it was broken.

Cheers,

BadOrb.
