Didn't somebody record the classes that they faced in rated warzones and came out with roughly 90% marauders/sentinels and powertechs/vanguards? That is completely unacceptable. The outcry to nerf these classes is there for a reason. What other class(es) do you see a huge chunk of the population complaining about? And I don't consider whether or not I can go toe-to-toe with a certain class, I consider whether or not other players can. Other players whose main characters may not be in the best shape right now mechanics-wise, and have to constantly deal with getting their faces smashed in because of it. That gets old whenever you're a human being behind a keyboard and not an NPC.

The "rut" that Deception is in is less about player skill and more about numbers. Good luck getting away with this in rateds. And because you mentioned operations, I feel obligated to remind you that we're doing laughable DPS in those, as well. Similar classes in other games aren't. Good sir, it seems that you have this spec confused with Powertechs/Marauders and their Republic equivalents. Once again, good luck getting away with this in rateds. It seems pretty evident to me that Deception was intended to be the "glass cannon" spec of the Assassin. The rogue archetype with light armor that does tons of damage that they can't take; oddly enough, this type of class does well in the organized PvP environments of other games. Not entirely because of player skill, but because of numbers. The damage that we should be doing simply isn't high enough. For example, here's a suggestion: Surging Charge shares the same cooldown as Rail Shot. If you want us to provide "some of the highest burst and highest pressure in the game", then let Surging Discharge do damage equivalent to Rail Shot. Except, you know, there isn't a talent that takes Discharge off of cooldown and makes the next Discharge free. Which is fine. I think that you'd see many more satisfied Deception Assassins if you simply tuned the numbers up (kind of like you did with Ravage/Master Strike). Doubt that that will ever happen, though. But Austin, thanks for taking the time to address this and thanks to BioWare for the Q&A. I know that you guys are trying your best.

Assuming that he bought the game as well, yes.

Was there a BioWare post in here?

From Wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor's_Wrath Won't give the entire quote as it contains a spoiler, but here's a part of it: "As a reward for his apparent loyalty, the Emperor created a position higher than even a Dark Lord on the Council: Emperor's Wrath." The Wrath is not on the Dark Council, as the Dark Council is beneath him/her. The Emperor's Wrath is above the Dark Council and second only to the Emperor himself in terms of power and stature.

Darth Demiurge! demiurge's definition: a supernatural being imagined as creating or fashioning the world in subordination to the Supreme Being, and sometimes regarded as the originator of evil The "Supreme Being" being the Emperor, the "world" being the Empire...

"TorTools is being moved to a new host. You have been redirected here while the transfer is being made. Thank you for your patience." That's on the site, though I'm not sure about the situation.

Are there any plans in the works to be able to add both exterior and interior customizations to our starships?

This is most likely going to be the case, but let's not forget about the reaction to healing bounty hunters.

Tell Edwin that Allison Berryman says otherwise.

Was it taken on the PTR? I'm aware that it was available on the PTR, but it hasn't gone live yet.

You'd think that people would be smart enough to realize that if there's no official mention of it via announcement or community news (much less the fact that there's no mention of it in the official patch notes), it's not implemented at this time. You'd think.

Which is why you're asked why you're leaving during the process of canceling your subscription.

Who needs a contract when LucasArts has a proven record of loving money? Consider this: SOE didn't introduce a F2P model to SWG, which had ABYSMALLY low subscription numbers while they simultaneously introduced a F2P model to other games under their jurisdiction which, most likely, were doing better. Do you honestly believe that that's a coincidence? If so, you have my condolences.

Yes, because that game is clearly a triple A MMO. lol EDIT: Did I ever dismiss microtransactions? No, I dismissed F2P.

People still think that EA can do whatever they want with this IP? lol This just in, LucasArts exists. There's a reason SOE didn't introduce a F2P model in SWG.

Challenge accepted.

Implying that I'm feminine or questioning my sexuality? Just keep digging yourself further and further into your hole of brazenly and publicly displayed stupidity. Just make sure that you don't get any dirt in or over your mouth, might prove fatal.

Wrong, congratulations on making yourself look like a mouthbreather.

.. lol

Lmao, wookiee imperial agents.

Oh god.

The future's looking good.

Looking forward to it.

And yet your continued posting on the forums says something about the quality of your life, which is most likely lower than this video game. LOL
