I'm left wondering when Big Brother is going to step in and regulate the video game gambling industry.

I'll still be casually playing this since it'll be f2p in the future.

I don't typically sub to multiple MMOs as I always end up playing one more than the other. So I think this is good, as it'll allow me to still pop in from time-to-time when I want a break from other MMOs.

Still have several months left on my sub, but I doubt I will be resubbing at the end of it. Server population has taken a massive hit, the game just isn't as fun with less people around.

That would be cool, something akin to DCUO or Eve.

Most of the top 20 servers don't even seem to be all that populated, my server (Lord Adraas) only hits standard population during primetime. Looking at US servers on TORStatus, seems that only the top 4 ever manage to hit standard for periods longer than just primetime.

That /who search is a bit deceptive, can't tell if you're trolling or not.

Nope, I'm done with running that treadmill.

You might be missing some of the planet bonus series which open up on the fleet.

I'll at most make 8 characters to see each class story. If not, I'll just youtube class stories.

I basically only really grouped on my first character. I pretty much skip heroics on alts now, as now I have the funds to gear alts without having to rely on heroic rewards.

I really don't like healing anymore in 1.2, people just go down way too fast.

I imagine leaving will be less of a problem after the recent patch, as they tremendously buffed comms gained from losing.

I don't see the problem then. So the bads will be able to gear up faster, but pros like you will still beat them. This commendation buff closes the gear gap quicker, allowing you pros to say you beat them by skill alone and not gear. Unless you're worried that the bads will start beating you once they're on even footing in terms of gear...

Save your stun for when they're <30% health, as Ops/Scoundrels effectively get free instant casts at less than 30% HP.

As Stenrik said, really the only thing that changed for Operatives were quality of life (less micromanage) and the aoe (more burst, but longer CD). Other than that, they didn't get any healing output buffs.

The leaver problem wasn't so bad in 1.1.5, as back then the losing team still got a good amount of comms. They need to bring back up the rewards from losing.

Guess it takes some time before it is listed as a known issue. There's been multiple threads about this over several days, several people having ticketed the issue already (myself included).

Perhaps they should've given all subscribers a 30-day credit redeemable once you've gotten a character to level 50. This also gives an incentive to stick through the game to level 50.

It is actually a stat bug and not just a display error. For now, I just deal with the nerf and only bother to reequip for elite mobs.

Actually, the original design decision was for all dps specs to have relatively equal damage capability. So yes, marauder should have the same dps capability as non-pure classes.

I keep seeing people point to the math behind the expertise where damage and mitigation cancel each other out. While that may be the case, the problem we're seeing is due to class imbalance. Classes simply aren't balanced right now, marauders (perhaps Juggs as well) are putting out more damage relative to other classes. So basically the FOTM is to roll as many marauders/juggs as possible, don't even bother bringing a healer.

This assumes that all classes are balanced. As it is now, Marauders (maybe Juggs too) are putting out greater damage relative to other classes. Which is why the current FOTM is to roll an all Knight/Warrior team.

Curiously the rationale behind that nerf was that fights were ending too quickly, yet now they go and implement this dps deathmatch.

The only thing you can do with cent comms in 1.2 are to trade them in for credit boxes, green/blue ancient storage boxes, or crafting boxes. I just used them to outfit companions.
