Better Worse The same EDIT: *sigh* All right my beautiful embryonic forum trolls:rolleyes: Would you say SWTOR has gotten better, worse, or has remained the same since launch

It appears that after 2 years, I finally have resubbed. Truthfully, Ive actually been playing for the past 4 weeks as a preferred player leveling up a Jedi Sentinel; this is just a short review as to how I like the class and what changes I think should be implemented. To give you a bit of history on myself, I currently have a level 50 Gunslinger and a level 45 Shadow tank ( I was in the middle of getting the Shadow to 50 before I quit the game.) Im no noob to the game, and I love the SWTOR universe. I find the Sentinel class to have a pleasant flavor of challenging and OP abilities that afford it a very balanced nature. My primary complaint is our lack of stun/root breaking abilities. Currently, I have 1 ability that will allow me to break any stun or root (im level 40) and it appears that I don't receive anymore. Since I often do PVP, I often find myself in a very bad situation when going up against classes like: Snipers, Operatives, and Sorcerers. While I understand the issue with awarding the Sentinel its own crowd control abilities - most likely making the class ridiculously OP - I think that we should be awarded at least 1 extra ability (with under a minute cooldown) that will insta break stuns and roots. This would allow more sentinels to take an aggressive role in PVP without being afraid of the normal "running running running ---- KNOCK BACK ---- ok waiting... OK FORCE LEAP.. and im stunned... Ok I got this, just break the stun *stun breaks* WTH??? Knock backed again??? and Force leap is on CD.. And running running running.... dead" Now this scenario only happens occasionally (usually if im attacking a Sniper who is next to a Jug or Sorceress) however, I still think it needs to be addressed. Thank you! Elyons

The game is better That should help

Diddo. If someone dies in a pug group - even if its there fault, I always hold myself responsible and feel as if its a personal failure.

Ive been playing a Shadow tank for the group of friends I play with. I love healing so I was thinking about making a healing class - since I already have my Shadow going through the Consular Storyline, im not sure I could handle having two there. I loved the Smuggler story while I was leveling my Gunslinger, so naturally I thought about making a Scoundrel. However, Im a bit hesitant since I have heard some pretty extreme horror stories about scoundrel healing post nerf. Is it true? Is this class completely useless at end game?

Well guys, we seem to be caught in a vortex. Since servers populations have dropped from the pre launch chaos, we are seeing how Bioware made a slight mistake with opening 10 new servers. So the rest of us are either left on our fleet with 60 people, only 40 of them 50s, or we can reroll on a high pop. I will say now that I rerolled. However, the issue is that there are thousands of other players doing the same thing - thus the previously dead servers are now turning into graveyards. Character Transfers will only heighten this effect. Thus we are left with server merges. Never thought Id suggest it, but I think it time now

Between having to grind the full PVE and PvP gear, you'll have plenty to do. Thus you won't be one of the no lifers complaining about there being no end game. How I forsee you if your wish comes true: "I just facerolled EV in Battlemaster." BIOWARE I IS BOREDq

It is. I consistently faceroll Shadows with full battle master on my Smuggler in full Coumi.

Yes. I have a level 50 Gunslinger, I heard that it would be one of the harder classes to play and that drew me to it. YES! The story is the BEST I have experienced in the game. I have several alts (All different classes, Republic/Imperial) and still nothing can beat my Gunslingers story line and wit. Yes. The cover system did take a little while to get used to, but after one does know how to use it, your basically a walking nuke. You can play the Smuggler as two different Characters Heck yes I personally find it surprising that players don't play Smuggler Gunslingers. Best story in the game with the highest end game DPS of any class? Guess I don't understand people. However, I did introduce a relative of mine to the class and her exact words were "Wow, I thought this would be hard but its easier to play then my Trooper. Why don't more people play this class?"

And opinions why please

In all technicality, if you do not make atleast 1 alt on the opposite faction you will miss around 30% of the content in this game. So in reality, you've only played around 50-70% of the content (other 20% accounts for extra class mechanics and storylines.) Then you wonder why you are bored?

So, really? The biggest crowd? I swore it was the LFG players again. Translation: They didn't answer my question and now I will rage I had several questions which I had hoped would get answered, sadly none were. There's always next week

Currently I have 1 level 50 and Im working on two others. I find them all to be extremely enjoyable just because of the different mechanics in combat. I've grown a deep bond with my level 50 Gunslinger, the raw DPS and large rotation keep us close. I've fallen in love with my Kinect shadow - the challenge in balancing a decent DPS rotation for holding agro, while maximizing my self healing ability is quite fun. I've cheated on both with my Scoundrel, being the God of PvP was to much to resist. The game has very much to offer, and while I've ground most of the endgame content on my Gunslinger, Im still having fun. After 1.2 I imagined that id be around for perhaps another 2 months or so. Then I realized something... Ive not played through a single Imperial story line

So your leaving just before patch 1.2? Ive lost all faith in humanity

Later!

Only verses a well geared Tank speced Assassin. Other then that, I can last for quite a while

You do realize that you NEED it because at 400 you will learn schematics for this: http://db.darthhater.com/recipes/905/rakata_stalkers_bracers/ http://db.darthhater.com/recipes/3259/rakata_stalkers_waistwrap/ After you craft those two, then you can drop it for a more reasonable crewskill

Personally, I find it logical to add a third faction just for Smuggler and Bounty hunters: The Hutt Cartel. If a play decided to join this Faction with there Smuggler/Bounty hunter then they would be fully devoted to Hutt interests. However, central to the story they should give a simple climax where you can show your allied allegiance to the Empire and or the Republic. Difficult, but not impossible

Seems like a fairly good idea. Id enjoy using a Vibro-Axe

Will you in the future be implementing payed server transfers - and if so, when can we expect them?

This^ This threads arguments have degraded to illogical insults. The entire point of this thread was to promote a simple, unnoticeable feature, that players could use. No more insulting then the simple "Toggle PvP" function inside your UI. Sadly human nature has warped the views of both sides. Ive encountered numerous posts where, to sum it up, they are simple trolls who Jargon there grammar to give them the appearance of "Intelligent." Between one radical party wanting there lifestyle to be represented and exposed to EVERYTHING - and another radical party wanting to keep the lifestyle locked out of the game completely, its truly saddening.

No, I believe what he said was that he found no reason to not add a toggle option to the game. How exactly you got the above paragraph out of this Is beyond me. To summarize - he was pointing out that anything that seems to NOT glorify the LGBT is instantly destroyed. He then plainly pointed out that we may as well take away the flirt option completely because its always going to offend someone. Please do attempt to read the posts before you respond

Hey guys. I see this has turned into quite the debate and I wish to add an edited opinion from my first post. If you look on the first page of this thread, you will notice that I showed quite a bit of favoritism toward Vanguard and Shadow tanks, but then a considerable amount of bashing toward Guardians. Well since then I've found a group whom I run HM quite regularly with. In this amazing group we have an exceptional tank whom is beyond comparison - this tank is a Guardian. I was very impressed to see how well he survived and what a great job he did holding Agro. My conclusion is that this class has the reputation of sentinels - however, In the right hands it can shine beyond bright. A big thanks to Masse Relic on my server for being such a great guy. Cheers!

Thank you! That will help immensely with my future builds . I appreciate the help! Thanks again!

As they say - a tank is nothing without his healer, thanks for keeping us alive
