I am actually glad they're quiet about it. They must have learned not to hype up the upcoming content like they did with 1.2 Ranked warzones and Legacy, which then was either postponed or released only half of it. So... I guess they're kinda learning. It's surprising to see somebody using their brains at Austin for once.

It's just silly, because you'd expect Bioware to deliver a fine, even awesome product, right? And on top of that they had STAR WARS slapped on their product, could they have a better chance at making something truly amazing? Not to mention that it was one of the most expensive games in the world. And It seems like Bioware Austin is a collection of the most incompetent Bioware employees they could find. I mean honestly... the decisions being made during the game development make me go "WHAT THE HELL?!?!". I mean, if one person can see that they're destroying a fine product then why on earth a whole damn group of developers can't see it? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! Programming - bad Art design - average (really unappealing worlds) PVE design - beyond stupid. Let's make all the bosses have an enrage timer and nothing else. And hey! It seems the bosses are too easy, let's nerf the healers, why should we buff the bosses after all? No... nerfing the healers is the best idea! All in? You over there, lower your hand, you want to get fired? PVP design - even worse after 1.2 nerfs and buffs. "Grrr! I can't kill this healer! I am so going to nerf them. Anita, call the meeting, we have some balance issues to discuss. We've gathered here, because I can't smash my keyboard with a fist and kill a healer on my Marauder. I propose destroying their resource management, and then lowering the effectiveness of Expertise for healing. On top of that I want Marauders to be a little bit better so I can play while watching Big Brother. " Communication between the devs and the community - non existent. Q&A - copy paste responses with "We have it planned, soon, it's on the list, absolutely".

Of course they'll keep saying that, even if it has 100k subs left. Doesn't change the fact that the game is far less than everybody expected. Besides, with the current incompetence in it's development I don't think it will go anywhere far.

And here I thought that this was a game for casuals and the hardcore players were the ones to leave. My whole guild full of hardcore players was gone, and then we got some more hardcore players, few weeks later - also gone. All I see sticking to the game are casuals.

The healer nerf has to be reverted, period. NOTHING ELSE THEY DO will make me go back. NOTHING.

they're probably drooling in a corner somewhere, seeing how they can't seem to do anything but make things worse. I'll never ever forgive them the healer nerf.

I am glad to see this. I was already laughing pretty darn hard when I was reading a dev saying "We're happy with our game". Now it's going to be even more hilarious, especially since I have absolutely no sympathy towards Bioware after the healer nerf (especially Commando). Absolutely NO SYMPATHY and I do wish TOR a slow and painful death.

Another one... Yeah, WoW struggled 100000000000000 years ago when it launched, when no one even heard of iPhones, when gaming industry was still trying to find it's way and wasn't the biggest entertainment source. OH my GOD!!!!!!! Tetris struggled when it first started, Minesweeper started badly, give it some credits! How much budget did WoW have ? 300 mil? 10 mil? How many fans did it have? How many Star Wars fans are there? How many games did Bioware release before releasing TOR and how many games did Blizzard release before WoW? Jesus...

Stopped reading there. Come back when you try a Hard Mode or Nightmare with full Rakata.

Oh I am sorry, Am I employed by Bioware? Am I supposed to do their job for them? And for the record I gave them PLENTY of good ideas which were simply discarded. My word does not matter, me saying "Bioware, this is going to backfire, don't" means absolutely nothing, so please don't bother lecturing us.

1. Boring PVE content - as in, only few bosses are actually interesting. Puzzle one, I believe it's called "Replicator" and the 1 vs 1 bosses after the Pillars in EV. Council or whatever. Everything else is based on "Moar Dots herp derp or he'll enrage". Everything's on Enrage here, there's nothing smart about the PVE content, there are no depleting resources that when run out make the fight impossible to complete, nothing actually innovative. PVE designers are bad. 2. Overtuning characters. Instead of balancing the classes by slightly changing their power we get hit by nerfs all across the board - like Healers, not only almost every ability we had was nerfed, but also Expertise made it worse for us, on top of that we get a flat -30% during Warzones to healing. Healers get treated like trash in this game, and it's clear to me. If the devs had any brains they'd nerf a few abilities and leave it, then test it and see if more are required. 3. FPS issues. Horrible, Horrible graphic engine. My PC runs this game better when the settings are set to High, which is hilarious, therefore putting it on Low will not boost the FPS, it lowers it even further. I wont mention other problems but basically - It's really really horrible. 4. Team developing this game is in my opinion one of the worst. We've got Warhammer rejects that are doing the exact same things to this game that they were doing to Warhammer (the bad things), one bad decision after another is made, no communication, vague responses, nothing worth reading is given to us. 5. Overhyping every upcoming content. Making all those stupid videos and talking about "oh it's going to be so cool!" on Guild Summits (or should I call them "kissass summits", and then releasing half of what they promised or nothing at all (Ranked warzones, half of legacy is not finished). Also, no real attempt to fix the empty servers. My guild died twice. Most of the best players didn't even resubscribe after the first free month - they aren't paying for playing a Beta game. Second bunch of great players just sort of stopped logging in at some point, because the game is lacking a lot of content and there's nothing that's really worth any grind. You can't go on a planet and relax while collecting Biochem samples or stuff like that. There are too many mobs around, but also it's just somehow... not interesting cos you wont earn any money for what you sell on the GTN. Anyway, to hell with this game, honestly. 3 years of waiting like an idiot, saying "Bioware CANNOT possibly mess this up" and being a fanboy, buying 3 month sub, trying HARD to like the game, and then after losing a lot of faith in it I get kicked in the teeth - my Commando Medic gets shafted, murdered, destroyed and no longer fun. And the funny thing is, after all those mini patches and people posting their combat logs on the forums saying that the class is basically doing about 400HPS less than any other healing class we haven't even seen one tiny buff, not even "now you run 1% faster" or ANYTHING for that matter. I hope this game dies, I really do, because whoever nerfed my class this badly shouldn't be working in the gaming industry,. I wish you the worst.

"Soon", "We're looking into that", "Definitely going to be implemented at some point". /yawn. At least you answered a few MEANINGFUL questions, but I guess it's still easier to answer the vague ones and slap "soon/possibly" on everything, right? Makes you look like you're actually doing something.

Perfect description. Thank you. 1.2.2 coming and I still don't see ANY revert to the nerfs we've got. It's clear to me that we aren't getting any. "We are listening" ? you can show it up your arse.

You just know they wont get their stuff together. I know my friends were in BETA and they gave a ton of feedback, there were plenty of threads with some good info that Bioware just simply ignored and released the game as it is now - still in Beta. Honestly, I used to have a lot of hopes for these guys, but it's almost gone now. I am still kinda waiting for them to revert at least half of the healer nerfs, but I shouldn't hold my breath, I know how badly they're developing the game. It's horrible what they're doing to one of the best IPs in the world. It's like somebody literally handed you a successful brand to work with and you did ALL YOU COULD to destroy it.

Beautiful post, and very right. Healing is NOT fun. Is it Challenging? Nope. It 's NOT challenging to wait for a cooldown to end while spamming Hammer Shot or other free heals. It is NOT challenging to have every single fight have an Enrage timer and almost nothing else. It is Not challenging to be a useless healer, it is just frustrating and nothing more. It's been a few weeks since the 1.2 and since we saw pretty much no comments on the ridiculous nerfs I am sure that the development team responsible for this has absolutely no idea what's going on. If makes me angry, it really really does. But... fortunately for me, I uninstalled the game already,. I am not coming back to a place where I don't feel welcomed, or where I can't even have fun as a healer (which is the only role I enjoy). It's clear to me that Bioware loathes healers and wants them to suffer. Otherwise they'd only nerf a couple of things, a bit of tweaking here and there, not slap us with a wall of nerfs, then nerf expertise for healers, and nerf everything related to healing everywhere. That's not "nerfing" that's sabotaging and I'd even call it treason. I said it a couple of times but I love saying it (since I have a free month). Goodbye Bioware. I had high hopes, I also believed in you until I saw you make one bad choice after another. Now I see that you will not change for better and I hope your game burns, along with you. You clearly aren't competent enough to work on this game.

A bunch of stuff cut in half cos "it didn't make it in time" like half of the legacy, as well as loads of new bugs and disappointing useless features while not reverting the healer nerfs. Honestly, whatever they choose to add it's equal to excrement to me, because I am no longer a healer, therefore I am no longer playing the game.

Another Q&A full of "yes, we have it planned" instead of any info about the mechanics of the game. Thank you very much for picking the most useless questions to answer. The lack of any tangible information is your specialty. "Soon" "we have it planned" "next patch" This is getting boring.

So we get bosses that have nothing else but enrage timer, we get healer nerfs cos the dev team can't come up with ANYTHING else that's actually fun and make the bosses more challenging. We get PVE nerfs for PVP and vice versa. We get some crappy justifications every single Q&A is about upcoming features with a template response: "It's on our list but there's no ETA for it yet, maybe in the near/far future". Yeah... everything is on that damn list, but not a single thing has an actual date, not even "soon" any more. It's simply "yeah... we're gonna hype you up and then make you wait, just like we did with TOR release, have fun, pathetic customer. "

Same here. I was a Commando from day 1. I used to dream about that class while waiting for the launch. I loved the gameplay, then my class got ****ed in the ***. Thank you very much for that final push I needed to uninstall.

Yup, unsubbed, uninstalled and I refuse to play a game that simply frustrates me. It's one thing to nerf us a bit, I'd live with that, but making our class into "chess on coffee" or whatever is NOT fun. You try and do some burst healing, cos people are dropping fast and bam! you are either about to lose all ammo if you continue or you wait for the stupid cooldowns and watch your raid drop even lower or start dying. This is not fun. There is no flow, there's no challenge. There's just waiting for the cooldowns. I still can't comprehend why Commando Medics got this nerf. We were shouting "THIS IS A BAD IDEA" since the patch notes showed up. Clearly there is 0 brain storming at Bioware because all I see is *** kissing. Somebody was afraid to say "this is a bad idea" to the manager or whatever and now we have this. Unless the whole group thought that it was a good idea in which case I don't want to ever have anything to do with a game developed by monkeys. This is an example of bad development and I see so many bad choices being made by the devs that I simply got tired of it.

I got a template once too After reporting a player using an exploit. It went something like this: "Complemented the customer for reporting the exploit, passed the message on, closed ticket" instead of the proper message

Mine is twice as strong and it struggles. Eternal loading screens even though I upgraded to 8 gig of RAM. I could replace the processor but I am not going to.

I'd also like to have my trooper back, and I am a healer. The nerf was "necessary" but it was waaaaay too big, it was beyond "adjusting" it was pure attempt to **** up my class by incompetence and lack of actual testing. We're squishy. And for the record I have two 50 level chars, one is my Commando in Champion pvp gear and the other one is sentinel with blue pvp gear. I own people literally rolling my face on the keyboard (or mashing random keys) on my Sentinel while I die like a pathetic useless cannon fodder on my Commando while doing so, so, so much more to survive. So as for me I actually can compare the current Fotm to the weakest class in game at the moment and the difference is enormous. Still, I uninstalled the game, because I am not going to put up with this ********. I am a pure hater , at least when it comes to stupidity that I constantly see in TOR development.

And my whole guild left the game because of the FPS problems, millions of bugs and lack of any new content that would be worthy of name "innovative and fresh". Some people are easy to please, and I admire that. I just hate constant lying, misinformation or lack of information at all, and then nerfing something that didn't need it while buffing something that didn't need it either.

I have to admit I wanted to make a thread just like this. I always buff people I pass by, but I never get buffs from them. It's like it doesn't matter. In WoW everyone buffs everyone if there's a chance. It's frustrating and frankly tells me how many ignorant people are running about.
