Howdy folks,
Thanks for all the reports regarding shortened TTK! I just wanted to let you all know that we are looking into the issue, and we could use your help - if you feel so inclined.
For those of you who feel that you are quickly defeated in PvP, please post the following information:
1. What level is your character?
2. While in a PvP zone and under the affects of bolster, what does your character sheet show for the following stat values?
A. Health (while bolstered) = ?
B. Endurance (while bolstered) = ?
C. Expertise (while bolstered) = ?
D. Armor Rating (while bolstered) = ?
3. In that same set of equipment, while you are NOT in a PvP zone and NOT under the affects of bolster, what does your character sheet show for those same values?
A. Health = ?
B. Endurance = ?
C. Expertise = ?
D. Armor Rating = ?
4. What kind of equipment are you wearing? Please list any modifications you've made to your equipment (for example, please note if you have added any augments to it or switched out any of the armorings, mods, enhancements, color crystals, etc. - and note what type of augment/armoring/mod/etc. that you have swapped into each slot of each piece of equipment). The more detail you give here, the more likely we will be able to find the issue that is causing your character to be quickly defeated in PvP.
For those of you who are critically hitting with certain abilities for over 9000 damage in bolstered PvP situations, please post the following information:
1. Which advanced class is your character that is able to critically hit for over 9000 damage in PvP situations?
2. What level is this same character?
3. Which ability or abilities are critically hitting for over 9000 damage in PvP situations?
4. About how often would you say the above ability or abilities critically hit for over 9000 damage in PvP situations?
5. While in a PvP zone and under the affects of bolster, what does your character sheet show for the following stat values?
A. Expertise (while bolstered) = ?
B. [Melee/Ranged] Bonus Damage (while bolstered) = ?
C. [Melee/Ranged] Critical Chance (while bolstered) = ?
D. [Melee/Ranged] Critical Multiplier (while bolstered) = ?
E. [Force/Tech] Bonus Damage (while bolstered) = ?
F. [Force/Tech] Critical Chance (while bolstered) = ?
G. [Force/Tech] Critical Multiplier (while bolstered) = ?
6. In that same set of equipment, how much expertise does your character have while NOT in a PvP area and NOT under the affects of bolster?
A. Expertise = ?
B. [Melee/Ranged] Bonus Damage = ?
C. [Melee/Ranged] Critical Chance = ?
D. [Melee/Ranged] Critical Multiplier = ?
E. [Force/Tech] Bonus Damage = ?
F. [Force/Tech] Critical Chance = ?
G. [Force/Tech] Critical Multiplier = ?
7. What kind of equipment are you wearing? Please list any modifications you've made to your equipment (for example, please note if you have added any augments to it or switched out any of the armorings, mods, enhancements, color crystals, etc. - and note what type of augment/armoring/mod/etc. that you have swapped into each slot of each piece of equipment).
We know it can be frustrating when changes are made to statistical values that have become accepted and expected, and we thank you for your help and patience as we further diagnose this issue!
