Basically the game thinks I have 15 pieces equipped. When I have no gear equipped, my item rating is still 22. This happened when the boots that I had equipped had disappeared. Ofcourse this has its obvious upsides as higher stats, but the major downside is that the game rewards me with only green items. All reknown boxes or other lootboxes from dailies/weeklies give greens when I have 328 item rating. This can be overcome by taking off 1 item so my item rating is 306. Posted an ingame bug report already plus several tickets to CS. Lucky for me the CS guy keeps telling me that everything is working as intened. Guess i'll queue ranked then and see what happens....

Yes, people having fun playing together is the death of this game

This really. Besides it isnt a fun map, which is subjective, huttball in general and especially quesh and vandin are unplayable due to dsync etc. Insta leave most of the time.

Notice how Keith mentioned 6.0 as Game Update, not xpack. So i dont have high hopes

I am glad they didn't kill the burst, since it was already non-existent

My experience with BW's nerfs/buffs is that it is almost never what you'd expect. Why can't we get some exact numbers on this one, while the other 2 changes gave us 2 digit %?

how can you do math on this post while they don't state how much "additional damage" is?

I think you are mixing up evolixe's pve and pvp arguments. In pvp, (burst)dps and dcd's/stealth/selfheals matter. In PvE only dps and to a lesser extent raid utillities matter. Dcd's and stealth etc do not. How many sins/opers/sorc/jugg dps are in HM/Nim teams nowadays? Unfortunately balancing classes between pve and pvp has proved to be too difficult for BW

I hope they nerf plasma probe because they make wz's and arena no fun, especially when stacking. The rest i dont care too much, i guess there will always be classes overperforming.

Part of his job maybe, but levelling 4 toons to 300 cxp is a full time job with overtime

If you have 4 characters to cxp 300, then you must have a lot of spare time. Or did you achieve that in jobtime instead?

Next the guardian or the vanguard hops in this thread and claims he wants to have stealth because operatives/scoundrels and shadows/sin have them and it is so easy to speed past many mobs. Class difference ftw

New gear tiers is only warranted when an new xpansion/update or maybe new content in general is coming out. 1 ops broken down in several pieces is not new content that qualifies for that. And then there is pvp, new gear tier (more so mid season in ranked) creates a larger gap. IF there is a new tier coming out, it will only be to keep us busy and drive our focus away from the lack of new content.

And why not? They are a dps class just like the others. It is not that a scoundrel/operative can dish out meaningful damage while offhealing/rezzing/stealthing/rolling (versus e.g. mara popping speed with good dcd or sniper with dome AND doing damage at the same time). I think the dps potential of a class should be offset against the raid utilities that can be used while dps-ing.

Keith, you know the first 30 days are almost over since your intro and mention of the roadmap. Please don't pull a Musco and only tease us with the announcement of the announcement of what we already know will come (a few more ops bosses on Iokath, some recurring events, new cartel market items). Communication is mainly listening and responding, not only throw out a few yellow lines about server problems.
