  1. It's Star Wars. It's always Empire vs Republic in one form or the other. Yes, you cane write situations where they are forced to make peace against common threat, but background to that peace is still Empire vs Republic. Not some random third ******** force that makes them unite so hard there are no differences left.
  2. 22 I guess kids don't play MMOs anymore
  3. Also, if things still work like they used to, shield will only be active when you are in tank stance (tank discipline basically). You won't get any defensive stats out of it as Infiltration.
  4. I guess you missed existence of dark jedis then? Jedi is generally wide-spread term for force users. More widespread than sith anyway, since those guys are restricted to sith order only.
  5. I liked Andromeda. After ****fests that ME3 and DAI were, I was pretty surprised when I found myself enjoying it. Sure, it has problems, but as far as rebooting ME goes - it's good. Story was allright, characters were fairly good, gameplay is solid, and i really liked the shift of tone from EPICAL EPIC OF EPICNESS that ME3 pushed down my throat. Wish it had less technical issues though - after-kill freezing got old really fast. It's not perfect game, but it surely didn't deserve all the hate it got. Too bad BW Montreal won't get a second shot at it.
  6. I still think shooting them off as gunslinger is better fatality
  7. I'm pretty sure you guys in America have holidays as well, so no, its not 365 days. Actually, it's 2 days per week specifically to be spent with friends and family. And even if I have sudden need to spend time with family in the middle of the week, there are different moments. If I'm working on some project that I still have 3-4 weeks to finish - sure, I'll ask my boss and most likely he'll let me go. Even in that case, he will expect me to finish said work in time, and "well, I spent time with family" won't be an excuse if I **** up. But, if I'm working on project that should have been finished yesterday, and there is client that screams at us 24/7 demanding it done - then I sure as hell won't be able to take vacation unless there are some really dire circumstances, like ambulance or something. Actually, I'll be asked to stay late at night, and most likely will keep working on holidays till I deliver the project. Because deadlines are a thing. Because worker's responsibility is a thing. Because that's what I'm being paid to do - getting **** done. Nobody cares if I had to feed my pet hamster or if we as a studio had a downtime because our render farms crashed again. Results matter. Not excuses. I'll ask again - where are results, even those little ones we were promised?
  8. Thank you kindly! Seriously though. People keep praising Keith like he is second coming of Jesus. Particular comment I replied to stated he is "working hard in new position". Somehow I don't see him working. I don't see any results. All I see is rather pathetic excuse for why said results (not that big results, mind you) aren't here. Because when you are "hard at work", you don't take time to visit your dad. Because you are hard at work. At the very least you distribute some of that "hard work" to other people while you are away for some very serious reason. Hint - that reason isn't "I spent time with my dad". Furthermore, he admitted that he failed to estimate time required to finish not some major update, but *********** text document. You know how it's called? I'll help you. Incompetence. Producer unable to plan out time and deadlines for his crew or himself is incompetent producer. What an amazing feat to show in your first month of work. Be objective here. All that guy did was make some forum posts. That's it. That's the only thing he did in his position so far. Sweet promises to calm people down. Well, that worked. Now what? Same old same old? "We are working on new exciting content!" Yeah, right. Never seen it before. Meanwhile, feel free to pay money for new unlocks. "Oh, he is new, give him time!" He isn't new. He was part of the crew before, he knows people there and the way they work (and also was part of overall problem, but let's not destroy guy completely). Also he doesn't have time. Because it's *********** SWTOR, there's no more time. "People make mistakes!" Yes, and when those mistakes result in bad performance, people are being called out on it. Also, he doesn't have room for mistakes. Because Ben exhausted that credit looooong time ago. All I'm saying, the guy did absolutely nothing so far. ****, he isn't even able to punch balancing team in the face to make them go back to work - THAT doesn't require anything but some basic organizational skills. All I'm seeing is same tired routine that got SWTOR into the pit it's sitting in now. I've been here long. I've seen it all. So far, this guy isn't different from previous ones. Actually, he is worse, because he has balls to try and make up excuses pressing on our "humanity" side. That's called manipulation, by the way. GJ on that front at least.
  9. Sorry, he is too busy visiting his dad and failing at time evaluation.
  10. Well, let's see. It used to be burst spec before it mutated into DoT with 3.0, switching name and some skills with AP. Before and after that it was considered unviable because 1)Flamethrower was extremely impractical in PVP environment and 2) old Pyrotech/ new AP was a thing. With 5.0 flamethrower got removed specifically because of that impracticality, but PTs got nerfed (relatively) overall. So yea, it's historically a complete mess.
  11. Your dad. Really. You are the only person able to work on roadmap, and nobody was able to pick it up for a few days. It's you secret child that nobody else has any knowledge about. Because you totally don't have anybody else has any idea on what you are planning to do. Not a single person in entire studio. Actually, wait, nevermind. THAT I sadly can believe.
  12. Guys, be real. It's EA. New producer doesn't mean kitten. Simply expect him to be full of **** until proven otherwise, by action. So far...
  13. IKR. Where is promised roadmap? Where are any real actions, not just forum sweet-talk?
  14. It's not a particular ability - it's visual effect Deception sin gets when getting 3 stacks and Lightning sorc gets from CL proc. You know, when you explode with lightning that then keeps crackling around you hands? Pure awesome.
