I think you missed the part where the players without lvl 50 characters don't have anything to thank for. Well, the mini ... pity I don't care about minis.

I am laughing for 5 minutes now. Honestly in my mind BW now looks like a good natured but clumsy mini.

+1 /10 char

That's actually very cool. Way to mitigate the rwz faux pas. BW is manning up.

Yep I would be disappointed as well if I was the developer. Ressubed on friday just to experience this update and I guess I will come back again once TOR turns b2p. Also TSW is the last subscription game I am going to buy, but I am not going to pay subscription to Funcom or for any other MMO ever again, b2p ftw.

This is exactly why I hate Blizzard's WoW. We didn't promise anything. We just hinted, you are stupid to believe us. Well ... now because consumers are stupid, BW will lose even more consumers.

No, what playerbase is saying is why the hell are you telling it to us at the day of maintenance when you must have known it for days if not weeks

Sadly BW is catching up to Blizz in this regard.

It's not that they are pulling it back that is the problem, it's the late announcement that is bs.

Announcing this right before the patch goes live ... it's a developer disaster really. I wouldn't want to be in shoes of the person responsibe for such a late announcement.

Don't forget 57 addons to time all the cooldowns

I think you should ask the ppl who are creating topics asking for marauder nerfs because the combination of high dps and high survivability (cd dependant) is a bit hard to counter.

Surprise surprise he is WoW player I would say TOR is a game where gladiators come to forum to QQ because badies kill them in the game. Some classes are easier to do well with ? Yep. If you know what you are doing you and beat them ? Yep. What's the problem here ?

The tree is broken on it's own ... when I played scoundrel I didn't bother to spec it. The healing tree and the dot tree have better mechanics. They should just change the gameplay of the burst tree into some kind of avoidance bruiser style of play.

I don't see the point. Once you nerf sorcerers ppl will find another class to whine about ...

If you can't beat ranged that stands in one spot ... the problem is not game mechanic. Unless we are talking about vanguard or something ... those are melees who happen to have ranged weapon in their hand.

This is not a good thing ... new gear -> bigger differences in power in warzones -> gear beats skill mechanic grows stronger.

OPs are rerolling other stealth class ? I am pretty sure sorcerers are not stealth class. Anyway ... looks like next stop of nerf train are sorcerers ... players want the train to make a full circle, after sorcerers come guardians and their mobility, after that sentinels ... You have to keep the train moving, otherwise it's no fun.

Hutball is the one warzone with a bit of tactic involved ... I like it

Spend 3 hours leveling character to lvl 10. Enjoy instant queue and all 3 warzones. That is if you can pick the underpopulated faction.

I like the PvP as well, but ... you have 3 warzones that could be designed better, bad gearing system and Illum you wish was not in the game. A lot of room for improvement, for pvp features. And if TSW or Tera or GW2 can deliver those before BW does, it will have consequences.

It's easily noticalbe ... before lvl 50 brackets, emps were destroying republic on our server. After the change in 10-49 republic actually wins way more than empire. Gear beats skill ... like in any old school MMO.

Actually I still consider AoC the one game where open world pvp while leveling up worked. The rough atmosphere of it encouraged ppl to fight each other for quest mobs or just because they met each other. For some quests I even had to find a group, because alone it was impossible to finish the quest with all the other players there killing each other. I remember one of the starting isles ppl went there with alts and it was one big death match zone. Ofc once you got to max lvl, it was a disappointment, but it had potential and some of its features were good. TOR got warzones, AoC had open world pvp that was actually happening. So we will see ... it may not be the next big hit, but I think it's worth checking out.

Before GW2 there will be The Secret World release in april with 3 factions fighting over control over the earth zones, no leveling up, no classes ... Funcom has experience from AoC, so it can be good game. It didn't look exactly polished last time I watched a video of gameplay, but we will see. Regardless BW has to do a lot to keep their PvP playerbase.

10 weeks ? We will be lucky if GW2 release 2012 at all
