Developer Update: Class Changes and Balance in Game Update 1.4

post 1.4: The only classes in pvp are marauders, sents, and powertechs. not even vanguards because powertechs have better heat management.

This.

That's only for Sages. Shadows get hosed.

I play mainly as a Jedi Sentinel, but my secendary is a Jedi Shadow. I myself am very fond of how Force Wave knocks back all enemys around me, it is a direct connection back to the original KotOR. (KotOR was my first experience with Star Wars games and what eventualy got me into SW:TOR to begin with, partly since Forcewave was intact.) I do not like this 120 cone idea at all myself, since I'm not big into PvP and prefer just good old fashion NPC party crashing while lone-wolfing.
Could it be possible someone there makes it so if you're on a PvE server, and you're only after NPCs, you keep the "Classic" Forcewave, but if you enter one of the designated arenas for PvP, or answer a duel, it switches you to this new, not very Star Wars version? Or to choose which one you prefer? I imagine this alone to be a possible dividing issue among players. This whole deal, in a way, reminds me of the time that Thalian Bog-Slime of a merchant, Eli, got my crew on Juma Juice and left them in the Shadowlands before selling my ship and telling me my crew left me...

Huh from what I can tell STILL no cathar or hk-51
If it werent for the fact they have to make sure it is 100% perfect I would tell them to hurry up like an impatient fan, other than that it sounds all and good keep up the good work bioware.

Um... we got a minor damage boost to one ability when "Circling Shadows" triggers. That's it, man. Oh, Force Speed is now on a lower cooldown. Excuse me for not popping the champagne. Force Stun and Force Wave got nerfed, hard. As was mentioned in an earlier post, how exactly am I supposed to stop a capture attempt in Civil War now? Get there faster? Good advice.

didnt your incombat stealth abilty's cooldown get reduced by a minute?
allowing you to open from stealth more often?

Well, Bioware, it seems like you wanted feedback posting your intent with the new changes and you got it in spades. 59 pages in just under a week. I really hope you've learned something from this endeavor. It really looks like you all are out of touch about just what is really broken with this game that needs needs an overhaul. The vast majority on this thread are complaining, and we are for the most part saying the same thing(s). Before 1.4 hits the PTS, I suggest you all go back to the drawing board and rethink what your vision is for this game. Time to put ego aside and do what's best for the game.

too late alrdy unsubbed due to these horrible changes and yet no fix to resolve system but instead they made it more horrible than it alrdy is


Im not gonna waste my money giving these guys 15$ a month anymore, hope they lose their jobs since they dont have a clue of waht they are doing

I EXPECTED A BUFF TO SORCERERS, SCOUNDREL DPS, SHADOWS, MERCS, TO MATCH UP TO Powertechs, sentinels, and snipers

BUT THIS DEV TEAM DOESNT GET IT!!!!

good thing my sub ends on the 18th

have fun when this game goes F2P, ur looking to broaden ur audience with millions of F2P players eh? well ur gonna do a better job of giving those millions of F2P players to bad mouth this game even more once they find out what kind of trashy system ur PVP game is

^ This ^: 100% agreed.
