Healbot is not botting software, it's just the name of a popular addon for setting up mouseover heals in WOW.

When it comes to woeful ability animations, the discussion begins and ends with Boltstorm.

Hopefully the only update she gets is a muzzle...

I suggest the GTN. Plenty of bind on legacy gear available there, and some of it very cheap.

Way to pour water on OP's flaming, righteous outrage.

I found the new rotation bewildering with an extra dot to track and a lack of convenient line-ups between abilities. Memorization is great for dummy parses, but I question its viability in actual stop and go ops situations. I found a simple tweak of lining up overload saber with cauterize, and hitting force leap on CD regardless of focus really made everything line up nicely, even if it means delaying merciless slash one GCD to hit cauterize.

No, this is a 3.0 issue.

...and still borked.

stay back or i'll spritz you!

Apparently, you get the Boltstorm animation. I can't be the only one who absolutely hates it, right? And I've tried to like it, I really have. But it just looks over-the-top goofy, and depending on the range your enemy's at, it can look absurdly comical. I'm sure I'm not the only one who, upon seeing the new Full Auto replacement was named "Boltsorm," thought, "Cool! I'm going to be mowing down my enemies with a veritable tornado of high-velocity slugs!" Instead, I've been relegated to tickling them to death with swirly, loopy magical hippie bullets. And on a related note, since we're stuck with said swirling, magical hippie bullets as Gunnery's defining attack for at least the time being, does anyone else feel that the some of our other abilities are feeling a little "puny" these days? If we're going to have the ridiculously garish LOLstorm foisted on us, can't we at least get some consistency across the board? Vortex Bolt, a secondary proc-enaber, is bigger and flashier than Demo Round, one of our defining and heaviest-hitting attacks. And High Impact Bolt, the perennial pipsqueak of abilities, has been comparitavely reduced in gravitas to the status of "popcorn fart." Is this really the best you can do, BW?

Holy hyper-sensitivity Batman! -A trooper vet with more than a few real "forced marches" under his belt.

What a douche.

I was in his first match back, and he flew very well. We won 999-1000, and after getting pwned by Kheenz for most of the match I managed to bag him for the final point.

The problem isn't gunships. And the problem isn't bombers. The problem is the way both GSF modes are designed, and that the underlying mechanics are far too easily exploited by large numbers of those ships in a single match. Until BW puts a cap on these ships, GSF will remain devolved in a state of wall of gunships/bomber spam, a state which completely flies in the face of the spirit of the old X-wing/TIE Fighter games and the movies, which were all about exciting flying and shooting.

You didn't miss much. Mostly me flying into asteroids and generally getting stomped.

I believe there are some guides available on how to do this, but the results aren't perfect when it comes to some UI elements.

I heard that if you say Grunty's name in front of a mirror three times, he appears behind you in a T2 scout and blows you away...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but your personal anecdotal experience--with which you've so extensively availed us--is largely irrelevant, unless you have firsthand knowledge of what's going on with this particular project. I'm guessing you don't. Perhaps you can teach a software development class at the local community college in order to pass the time between now and the expansion. I'm sure your students would love to be regaled by your development war stories and ability to accurately predict timelines for projects on which you haven't seen the slightest bit of code.

And IF the Queen had balls she'd be the King. We could play hypotheticals all night. Point is, there is no evidence that the actual release of the expansion will in any way be delayed by the timing of the official announcement. An announcement which, by the way, is not really all that official to begin with, since they've already said it's coming and by the end of the year.

It's a game? Yes, I suppose that would be my primary justification. And if I'm ever in a "my game universe MUST be logically congruent" mood, I avoid using the offending abilities. YMMV.

You seem to be attacking an argument that, as far as I can tell, no one actually made. No one claimed it was a banner year, we just pointed out that "ZOMG No contents at all!!!" Is not accurate. Or even close to it. It might not be the PVE endgame content that you wanted, but it is still content and many people enjoy it.

Is it possible to perform damage control when no actual damage has occurred? No actual content has been delayed. No actual content has been delivered incomplete or missing advertised features. Instead, we're talking about a few people who got their undies in quite a bunch because they have to wait a little longer to learn about the content that is still coming out by the same deadline. YMMV.

Well that settles it. You've asserted it so it must be true!

Sarcasm aside, off-rails space combat was something a large part of the player base wanted since release.

Fixed your post for you. Cheers.
