think I might have already posted in this but...I'll sign it again for the sake of my veng jug and conceal op lolol, I made a free 60 sniper cause...well...I already had every class/toon I wanted and no idea what to do with it just to try out the engi spec and see what was up with the fotm. lolol in bout 30 min tops after hitting 65 it was mastered....rediculously easy. PT is just stupid with the up close and personal in most encounters that have aoe ticks of some sort and they are not hindered at all from being out of melee range. I don't even vote they nerf these classes...other classes that they raped away the 30% crit dmg buffs from are generally the ones that got kilt with this expansion. anni mara is so easy now it's stupid, carnage, even with less abilities is actually far more difficult to play properly. I don't main a conceal op or scrapper scoun, but I do enjoy the class. in my opinion...deception assassin and most definitely the conceal operative should be 1 and 2 on single target dps...period. with conceal being the top.....because their AoE dmg is beyond a sad joke....it's so bad it is literally a waste of energy to use any of your aoe dmg skills. you'll do more dps in add fights just single targeting things down. and with this expansion, you're single target dmg sucks now too. pve operative dps were near non existent before the update...now....they are like a unicorn riding a dinosaur in time square. EAware's current combat team has got to be one of the worst I have seen in any mmo over the past decade. I mean classes experience imbalances in other games all the time too...but usually not to the extent that they are rendered completely useless in raid content. that is just pure incompetence. but anyways, I could sit here and tell you how annoyed I am, but plenty of solid games...nothing amazing...but yea, plenty of solid games coming in spring so I can drop sub to this debacle of an mmo. Let's face it....if this wasn't Star Wars, no one would be here lol

tip for the moment, wouldn't even bother, just play something else. this class is among the gimped trash near the bottom of the barrel in 4.0. basically zero aoe dmg, and among the weakest single target with below average spike dmg. it's a mess lol as someone how is force user focused since head start of launch I grew to love my conceal operative....and ended up being better at it than most things, but it has effectively been removed from pve and pvp content...I do not want them in WZs cause about all they are good for now is sleep darting peeps from stealth....and in pve...well now...in pve...I think they are more suited to sweeping my alliance cantina lol

ok guys, here is the deal...I have played around 100 mmos since the beginning of their current format. I have played allll different types from all corners of the globe, action, tab target micromanagement, hybrids, and lots more that i'm not sure where I would categorize. But here is the one undeniable truth I have come across with this vast amount of experience. I play no less than 4 hours/day every day btw.....is that games that try to balance both pvp and pve without them being segregated in some form or fashion will, for a fact....fail at both. I've seen it happen time and time again. the only way they can achieve true balance is to actually have pvp and pve servers where the behavior of abilities and classes act differently according to each environment or at minimum have a buff/debuff for every single class when you go into pvp. that is....for a fact....the ONLY way to achieve proper balance. that is, until a game developer....and i've about seen them all....proves me wrong. this is NOT an opinion, this is personal experience from a guy with a high mechanical inclination...be it in games or out with machines of all types. it seems EAware doesn't even run their classes through mathematical simulations to see how they are performing. this is what happens when you have people that played a few games in their life and think they are gamers so then they take some classes and get a job making them when they don't know sh** about sh**. Experience will trump education 99% of the time...period, it's just how it is. just because someone shoots some hoops in the driveway doesn't mean they are a basketball player. you wouldn't hire them to develop or evolve the rules of your game for it to perform better. damnit, got onto a tangent and just kept blabbin. in short, yes, this might be one of the consistently most broken games i have played....ever....and................. /signed

there is no ninja about it, not even talking pvp....concealment/scrapper has effectively been killed, now all that is left is to just remove them from the game and call it a day lol. the dps class with the unquestionably weakest aoe dmg is now also in the bottom 3 of the single target dmg and on top of that their burst dps is so weak it's like an annihilation marauder during ramp up nah, not hardly that bad...but yea.... all in all, minus the fury/rage jug/mara and their jedi counterparts conceal operative is the most pathetic dps in game....hands down, at least the other weak dps classes have some aoe to speak of. the broken is real....hey EA! you guys shooting for another golden poo award? been a few years since snagged one after the back to back wins there.......

wouldn't it had been grand if they included level scaled raids so that all the operations in the entire game were still worth doing? just add lvls, just add drops....tada...old raids retain their respective set bonuses in 192/198 quality while the new content offers its sets. I know...logic isn't something that is usually implemented into modern game development but we can hope right? so instead of my proposal they make all the work they did on all the previous raids, flashpoints and other content completely useless, null and void, and a monumental waste of time. why I ask, why? at this point with this many raids avail we should literally be able to raid every single day if desired. just stop being lazy and cheap, I know it's EA and don't expect much, but I think it would be a blast to roll through all the old raids and still progress your toon, provided those raids were scaled up and offered adequate challenge for the rewards, no need to change encounter mechanics or anything, just more hps, more dmg, more resists maybe /shrug. This way the mechanics of the current raids that take a massive dump on melees could be circumvented.

if you guys would just sell me what I wanted you could make around $100/mo + sub fee off me, but I don't gamble so I never buy anything. just a tip. I want to give my money to you, but you have nothing to offer, maybe try less gambling scams and more sell thanks the wool isn't thick enough that I can't see through it. /sigh

could you buff up alacrity a wee tad more, the current changes helped a itty bitty tiny bit but i'm tired of gearing every single dps toon I make the same way, it's incredibly boring lol

if you're playing swtor for the slot machine you're doing it wrong. can point you to some online gambling browser games if you want. k, thanks, bye

sweet +42 watched a spoiler vid of the romance options on this and the entire time i was like.....i better be able to turn her to the dark side. in the vid she basically redeemed the inquisitor during the romance , which is cool i but i pouty faced it hehe.

need me to quote SR from another thread stating that they have 24/7 dev teams in operation? lol your ignorance is why this forum exploded today, failure to communicate is the 1st and most essential building block for success in any aspect of the real world, relationships, business, sports, family, work, etc etc. how bout employers just start scheduling people for overtime without letting them know beforehand and fire the ones that miss their shift. im tired of trying to fix stupid lol, i could work forever just on the posts made on this forum today

might be because world population grows everyday? ill make some guarantees: you will no matter how bad they get, see movies to continue to break records at the box office. you will see every retailers sale numbers increase you will see a game break a sales record every other year. and these things dont even take into account the quality of products produced which will start a steady decline as more and more common monkeys influence the products themselves just sayin i love the media and how they like to toss around numbers

actually if you were still in melee range of the target you already had, nearest target would not switch to the nearest target.....bad beta testers are to blame for majority of poor mechanics, thks. to OP, you do know you have to have your camera facing the targets you want to switch to right? it works on a center out mech. and yea it doesnt work so well if your camera is stationary for tabbing around the screen.

yea, i got in a few min ago seen some of the completely ignorant questions ignoring the only legitimate question that needs to be asked and just closed the window. im sitting here at 8:47 EST looking at my bud's server selection screen while he brings my chips and dip back in here like the good little B.......he is lol and 80% of the servers are light load for the east coast. and the only question that needs to be asked is....with that quote from SR stating they have 24/7 teams why did they stop letting people in the game? personally it doesnt really matter to me....but i am curious about that quandary as seems to be the main focus of the forum fire here lol

they did fine today, the majority of the problem is communication with people waiting and hoping to get in the game asap. a simple email with a guestimate would of eliminated 90% of the forum flame up. example: today we began early access for swtor, you can expect an email granting access to the EGA on or around 8am-12pm on ??/?? excluding any unforeseen issues with the current staggering system. tada, 90% of the problem solved, now the only flames on the forums are related to legit issues and not just rage at walking by the pc checking email every 30min lol. i took vacation for christmas purposes starting this past monday so it dont matter much to me, but other hardcore gamers that work i would expect to have an issue with the lack of communication and vent their rage here lol. i do see both sides of the coin. what if gaming is their passion and hobby and they wanted to burn a few days of vacation? i see why its alienated several, especially if they had already taken some days based on the vague communication from bw so far.

i could of told you that after it took 8 days to get my within 24 hour preO code email lol note* ended up getting it on receipt at gamestop :D
