I can probably go, since AOE doesn't do any raids anymore.

The problem is this game barely has any world PVP, they removed illum. Not only that, but they barely have any content and even Warzones are so hard to get into now on a lot of servers, even with the merger. I mean, maybe if the servers were bigger or something too.

Yeah, can we get a response from bioware? The earlier response was months ago, it's been awhile and the player base is still dropping.

I don't see why we have to wait for new huge patches to get cross-server queuing, why doesn't Bioware just add cross-server queuing? This is especially needed for ranked and PVP is popping less frequently than it was a month ago, by a large amount. I remember the first day of server merges, PVP was crazy because everyone was so excited to see who they'd go up against. Instead, always having the same people makes it boring.

There actually is a small benefit like 500ish damage with all 5 heatsigs.

FYI, Heatseeker missile was nerfed in 1.2C with a ninja nerf that makes it so heat signatures barely matter to heatseeker now. It wasn't in the patch notes, but a dev said it was nerfed to make dps "in line". So it'd be more like 3-4k

I agree, Bioware needs to fix this or I'm going to leave this game. :\

Reread what the dev said "Heatseeker Missile which was getting increased DPS, not just from other people's stacks but also from an unwanted interaction with other skills" Unwanted interaction with other skills, aka tracer missile(heat signatures). That means bioware applied a ninja nerf without saying it in the patch notes.

This doesn't explain anything. I'm generally the top dps, pre 1.2, after 1.2, and after 1.2c. There is still a huge nerf to heatseeker as it barely registers the tracer missile debuff.

Actually, there is a huge damage reduction on solo debuffs, as stated by the response from the bioware employee. Prior to the 1.2c patch, I was critting 6.5k with HSM on TEST dummies and 7.5k fully buffed. Now I'm only doing 4500-5000 on the same test dummy. My dps over five minutes was reduced from around 1900 to 1500. There was a huge nerf because I did 4500-5000 PRE 1.2 and since then, I've gotten upgrades and have over 2130+ AIM 40% crit 300 power now with over 100 more aim(due to augments). I'm using the parser damage meter, so math isn't really required, it just tells me the overall damage and of each skill, etc.

There was this post. (b) In response to your feedback, we've re-tested all classes to ensure they are falling within our desired DPS targets and found one issue with Demo Round / Heatseeker Missile which was getting increased DPS, not just from other people's stacks but also from an unwanted interaction with other skills. That issue was corrected in the 1.2.0c patch this week.

I hate how stealthy this nerf is. It's like bioware nerfed it more than it was suppose to be and didn't inform us or anything. If no one said anything, bioware would have gotten away with a Ninja nerf without anyone knowing.

Has bioware replied yet?

Do you know if bioware is going to do anything? Because this is crap.

I swear to god, it's like the Dev teams are full of monkeys.

Bioware fix please. :\

I agree, Bioware needs to fix this.

Actually, I'm a casual. We only do like 4-5 hours of raiding a week. Night mare EC does not exist. Story mode Explosive conflict is tier 2 and as Bioware said is suppose to be for people in full columi. You CAN do it in full columi, but if you want it easy, you should farm rakata. FYI, HM was nerfed to hell in 1.2. SOA who used to be a challenge is now a joke, even for people in less than full columi. Not to mention the augments that can now be given to every class, that's 100+ main stats for every class for just bracers, belt, weapons, and two pieces of gear. There's a total of 12 augments that can be given without any operations. That means columi can now be bumped up to rakata from pre 1.2 from augments alone.

Story mode Denova is meant for people in mostly rakata. It's the equivalent of nightmare Operations, but if you think Denova is too hard, you could gear up via HM EV and HM KP. You could even do nightmare KP for the black hole commendations or corellia dailies. So, if you're truly a casual, you should be able to casually gear up. Casual does not mean clearing all the operations with ease because if you're truly a casual, you shouldn't even be doing 3-4 hour operations(that's how long it takes to clear operations for the first time as opposed to hardcore which can finish things in 2 hours). If you don't want to learn new fights, don't even do the fights at all, just farm corellia dailies.

There were suppose to be rakata mod changes in 1.2, but I haven't seen any and even looked at the vendor. Everything looks the same?

The cannot enter combat bug is due to people exiting area in combat. That'll be fixed in 1.2

If surge was too good, make other stats useful. Force users can't use accuracy, and accuracy caps out at a certain amount for other classes. Alacrity is useless for some classes and at a certain point, more alacrity is bad. The only option would be power and crit, but there are 0 mods that give power and crit. With the current gearing options, it's all surge/crit surge/power, alacrity/power, and accuracy and power. GG bioware. Hell, the rakata gear that takes 360 daily commendations to get has crit/surge and surge/power for the implants, Crit/accuracy for ears. Again, no crit/power.

Bioware, don't listen to this guy.

I had been breaking champion gear mods just to get the crit/surge mods(the pyrotech gear had it and I'm a arsenal Bounty Hunter). So now because of this nerf, I have to switch back, luckily, I had Rakata gear with accuracy and power. Not only that, but I spent 240 daily commendations to get the rakata medic implants that had crit/surge, that's a lot of dailies... Now because of the nerf I have to do it again? Bioware, you suck.

If you had 12 people, run EV, where two columi pieces drop per boss and other energized gear(tier 1). I also don't know what HM's you run that would take that long, but most flashpoints take less than an hour. The longest being false emperor, which can be done in 40 or so minutes(1 hour and 30 with a slow group).
