So basically there will be effectively zero reason to play Operative for the time being? In all seriousness, I hope bringing healing down to par will give them a reason to buff damage to being passable.

Because it had 3 factions. And without anything but visual skins appeal to pull someone to either side.

The truth is, it really is difficult. I agree with you, but not even Blizzard has been able to make world PvP truly fair or much more than a gankfest either.

I don't think you understand how two-faction games work. There will ALWAYS be a tilt to one side, no matter what. This is why developers started tilting towards warzones. Everyone thinks that world PvP is this grand battle where you stroll onto the battlefield and there are twenty of your guys on one side and equal amounts on the other, that never happens. Even with a 50/50 server, you are going to get a side more PvP inclined and ganking will still be prominent. The only thing that you can do is add more warzones, and so far I like their direction with it. What I do not like is being forced to go to Ilum for PvP bags and they won't be able to create a fair Ilum unless they make it similar to a warzone. What they should have done is made it a locked capture point type of invasion warzone similar to MoBA style games and Unreal Tournament.

Yeah, it sucks that this isn't an MMO and can never be changed ever. Oh wait.

At least you can play the game unlike almost every other MMO launch I have been a part of except maybe Rift.

False false false People will cry about anything, even things that are made up.

No, they do not. Because people made it up to troll causing a chain reaction of people crying about something that doesn't even exist.

I find it interesting how unpopular Guild Wars is as a choice.

I actually chose powertech because I like the idea of having one blaster revolver with a ton of tricks up the other sleeve. With a carbine we wouldn't be able to use a lot of our abilities like we do. If you want a carbine you should try out operative, they are actually a pretty awesome class weapon aside.

try this build from the powertech compendium at forcejunkies http://www.forcejunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BH-Pyrotech-Spec.jpg indeed, pyrotech vs AP is like night and day and rail shot becomes Thor's lightning.

My two characters are Ink and Plague and my legacy name is Heart. Didn't intend for it to work out that way since I didn't know about legacy names until people talked about it in general shortly before I got mine.

Cover is an interesting utility when tossing heals while under fire in PvP or to quickly move around the world if you exploit the rolls from maximum distance. However, during boss fights and most PvE situations, yes you will want to be backstabbing in between heals. It is not a central mechanic to success as it is for a sniper.

No, this game is standalone from any other game.

Gahh RIP SWG and APB('s potential)...

Would be awesome to somehow datamine the order in which pre-order was registered.

He's screwing with you dude, data doesn't lie.
