The guy with 4 50's is telling the guy with 7 50's to go outside... lol

Wanted to make a post just like this lol. D3 is almost here (I can't effing wait) and this game has just slowly deteriorated. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and have been defending this game since launch but the fact remains that there is just nothing to do and the class balance in this game is horrid. The only place I'm ever at is the fleet, a warzone or an operation. There is no incentive to go back to any planet. There is no incentive to do anything while I'm on the topic. This game is dumbed down so bad it actually hurts. Love Star Wars and love my friends but the game is just weak.

Definitely playing D3, 100%. The problem is when I get into a game I really get into it and I doubt I'll be here much longer. This game has no community and the only place I'm ever at is the fleet or in a WZ or OP which gets terribly boring. I don't want to unsub but if nothing changes in this game and I'm having fun in D3 I'm outta here.

Agreed, already made several of these posts. BW just flat out doesn't get it. They don't play their own game or they would know what needs to be tweaked. I've shelved my Arsenal Merc for now, and lol if you think Merc pyro = PT pyro. Just **** please.

Another patch that has failed to address an issue with this class. I'm a huge Star Wars nut and have supported this game from pre-release but honestly I just don't care anymore. It's obvious that they don't play their game much. The fact that the unload bug is STILL THERE after god knows how many people have reported it is just ridiculous (the bug that if you begin to use unload just as a person dies it will continue doing the animation indefinitely until you use more abilities). Never thought I'd say this and still don't know if I'll do it (too much time invested in my characters) but I might unsub when Diablo III drops on the 15th.

Or else nothing. This is not an ultimatum. This is not a "fix my class or I'll unsub" thread. This is not a QQ thread. This is a plea. A very simple plea becoming almost an utter beg as I continue typing this to fix mercenaries (arsenal specifically). This is the second class I will be shelving and I've never shelved a class in my entire time playing MMO's. First class was the assassin because I refuse to play a class called "assassin" that must be played like a tank (tricked into thinking this would be a rogue-type class and Deception would be viable, lolinyourface). Getting off track and I apologize, let me discuss what I mean by "fix". YOU BROKE US. Broken things must be fixed or they become obsolete. In patch 1.2 we were nerfed a bit, big whoop. I didn't care that TM took a 10% damage reduction. I didn't mind you jacking up our survivability even more then it already was. I was OK with all the changes. Here's what I'm not OK with... Lets get into specifics, specifically 1.2.0c to be specific... You fixed a bug that was allowing HSM to hit for double damage and for other mercenaries heat signatures to be applied to your abilities. Yikes! Big mistake on BW's end as I was critting with HSM for like 8k. No big deal, they fixed it in this patch... right? WRONG. Heat signature (applied by TM which gives a 4% armor reduction debuff, stackable up to 5 times for a max 25%) no longer works... at all. There is countless number crunching threads done by fellow mercs in the BH forums to back this up. If a BH math whiz wouldn't mind posting that info in this thread, that would be fantastic. This minor mistake on BW's end has carved a chunk out of our overall damage. Not only damage, but to our hardest hitting ability (Heatseeker Missile), which is not effective unless we have heat signature stacks. So now we have an immobile, average damage dealing, low survivability, no utility class. Before I forget, don't tell me to roll pyro as a merc. That's a bad joke and it's not funny. That tree was built entirely for powertechs. My plea is simple and is not asking for much, fix what you broke in 1.2.0c. Fix heat signatures. That's all I want. I don't want damage boosts or to be able to use unload while moving (yes I do really want that actually, would be so sick). I just want heat signatures fixed and would like a Dev response acknowledging that they are aware of a bug and/or issue preventing heat signatures from working correctly and are working on it. TL;DR - Too bad, read it. It's not that long and it'll make me feel special.

HAHA! That was hilarious! Where did you come up with that witty remark!? Oh wait, everyone says it. It's not funny anymore...

This is a well thought out, accurate post.

Only 99%? Bro, I'm at 104.5% accuracy right now lol. IT's EVERYWHERE!!!

Excellent, well thought out post. Completely agree with all of it.

Good post, I thought of making a thread similar to this one. It should be completely allowed ESPECIALLY on a PvP server. The changes to Ilum means world PvP will be dead in 1.2. Would love to fly a flagship to the republic fleet and begin an assault!

Anyone know if ranked warzones is actually going rank you or do you think it will be more of a personal stat tracker? If it actually ranks you amongst your server peers then I think it will help tremendously for those of us starving for competition.

I work 84 hours every two weeks. Lets just say my job is unique. I don't work two separate 42 hour weeks I just divided it in half to make a point. My schedule changes weekly.

I wouldn't care if there were 1000+ people better geared with a better team than me. I would be excited to try and beat them. I wouldn't care if they had better gear or not or if they were a premade or not. It's the challenge that makes multiplayer games exciting for me. Sadly, the mentality I have is an extreme minority amongst modern day players.

Oh... I guess because it's easy. What's happening to MMO's? Everything has become so easy/uncompetitive and the majority are completely okay with it. Operations are a joke. They are unthinkably easy and the bosses just crap purple gear all over the place when they die, it's like a pinata. In PvP all you do is hop in a WZ and complete it (regardless of how you perform, mind you) and load up on valor, comms and wins for your daily/weekly grab bags of PvP gear. Where is the competition? I fear MMO's have gone mainstream and are losing their core values as a genre. Am I alone on this? Am I the only one that wants the difficulty and competition levels cranked way the hell up in this game? Everything is so easy mode it hurts to play. **EDIT** I have a career and work 42 hours a week with a girlfriend (soon to be wife) and family. This is not an argument. Maybe it is for some but nothing in the world takes the competitive nature and hard working attitude out of me. I apply it to everything I do.
