  1. In that case, all I can say is you must be enjoying your eternal war with the unsubbers and who am I to judge? I am still here too. But at least I have the integrity to state my actual opinion. Anyone who has seen more than 2 of your posts can see through your act. And yes, I will call you out on any thread I see with your mummer's act until you make a stand. What else have I to do between Diablo 3 server outages and my fiance's nightly pregnancy comas?
  2. It would seem to me that you are quite staunch in your views on the positive side of things despite your attempts to show the contrary. In fact, your facade has cracked more than once. I don't like the word "fanboy" but there is no doubt whatsoever that you have a stance and that stance is in swtor's corner. As i said, this is fine and reasonable if you love the game. What I take exception with is you hiding behind false objectivity. If you are a supporter then you must have your reasons. If i loved this game I sure as hell would hope that things arent as bleak as most of us think. Admit that you WANT us to be wrong. Comes off way less trolly that way. My .02 cents.
  3. That was a "body of work" response to you. Not just to your post in general. You have posted more positive spin to the news coming to light on the status of this game than anyone on the forums by far. Unless you are disputing this don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about. Anyone who has followed the threads pertaining to the sub losses and the lay offs knows this. Don't be disingenuous. You are better than that. Respond to the post or ignore it. Edit: For the layman- dis·in·gen·u·ous/ˌdisinˈjenyo͞oəs/ Adjective: Not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.
  4. Is this what y'all are hanging your hat on these days? Why do the folks who supposedly love this game so much spend all their time in the forums downplaying the never ending stream of bad news coming from this game? The rest of us are just using whats left of our worthless sub. What are YOU doing? Loving the game is ok but you arent on the payroll pal. How many posts have you made in the last couple weeks trying to convince others that this game is going strong? What is your stake in this? And don't say your usual nonsense about counterbalancing negativity. I am sure your time is worth more than that. My theory? You are a zealot who hates the troll fest the forums have become (understandable but bioware community management's fault for their handling of 1.2) and are desperate for the trolls you despise to be wrong. If you were really that confident you wouldn't be beating your head against the wall like this for the second week straight. You aren't on the pay roll so GO PLAY the game you seem to think is so successful. I'll be here spending the rest of my sub $ warning others not to get burned like I did. I can admit that I have an axe to grind. You honest enough to do the same? lol.
  5. I love your attitude. Enjoy the two or three people you'll be playing this with when all the 6 month subs drop off just in time for GW2.
  6. Hilariously, we unsubbers are still reported as paying customers to the shareholders.
  7. Still at it Jeramie? I guess you'll be waving this flag until the funeral.
  8. I agree with this statement. I am speaking of the nerfs they implemented and the team having too much pride to admit they made a mistake (as well as not having the stones to silence the folks in the dps camp who are still cheer leading the changes)
  9. They needed a tweak. not a gutting
  10. The 1.2 balance changes coupled with the delay of ranked warzones have put this game in jeapordy of extinction. This may sound wrong but this is why you never listen to the masses (especially dps..they complain about healers in EVERY MMO) when it comes to balance. Bioware showed their inexperience with the healing nerfs and they are paying the price.
  11. I love seeing the fans come up with excuses for the obvious freefall...so entertaining.
  12. Glad Taugrim is telling the truth even if Bioware and the fans don't want to hear it. 1.2 balance changes really killed the game. This is what happens when you listen to dps players...lol. You think people main dps because its hard?
  13. Try playing a tank spec in dps gear ^^ In seriousness, don't worry. We healers (along with many many others the community is so fond of telling to leave) are leaving in droves. Perhaps when this 300 million dollar mmo has 250k subs people will look back and wonder if compromise might have been better than appeasing the unwashed dps masses.
  14. My apologies. "Op" in this case meant original post. I realize the acronym shouldve read: OP. And yea, to be honest I don't know a lot about Operative healing. My Operative healer is only level 30 but I had no problems with him even before the patch.. /shrug..
  15. My Op concedes that healers needed a tweak. I take exception with fundamental changes to the basic playstyle of the class/role and the EXTENT to which the nerfs were administered. You might want to try reading. Thanks
  16. I have dealt with it. Read my sig. And I'm not alone.
  17. Bit of a weak backtrack imo...
  18. My post clearly stated that I do not believe all the numbers are attributable to the balance changes. Please read the posts before replying. thx
  19. I don't really find raw end game stats to mean very much and if BW is balancing based on those sort of metrics it explains a lot. As for the subs..the game has 2.4 million sales and 1.3 million subs reported. Whats funny about what you said here is that this 1.3 million includes people like myself man. I have a sub active for about 90 more days so I am living proof that you are going by some very inflated numbers in your assessment. Protip: The quarterly report did not deduct folks with active accounts who have unsubbed their accounts. You have not even begun to see how many people are leaving. And this is all BEFORE the major competition arrived: Diablo 3, Tera, Guild Wars 2. As for 1.2's impact? I don't think it is the only reason people unsubbed but it certainly played a part. Unless Bioware releases its "unsub surveys" (the ones you fill out when you cancel your account) we really won't have anything to go on other than the people who stick around to post and share their reasons (like me). You are right about one thing though: Those in favor of the patch 1.2 balance changes are the majority. DPS are always the majority in every mmo. Thing is though, majority only matters if you are willing to lose the folks who strongly disagree. Compromise and incremental change is all I have called for here. Bottom line: After 1.2 was released 25% of the playerbase up and left. Why? Your opinion is as good as mine but Im voting for correlation and possibly causation.
  20. I guess for me the problem is that I never signed up for a class that had to run away whenever they get attacked. Nothing in Bioware's marketing of the sorc or our pre 1.2 experience prepared us for this fundamental change in play style. Had i known I would have went with a class that isn't forced to flee from combat even 1v1. Don't see how you can't empathize with that.
  21. Aren't you the same guy who quoted EA's assessment of their own numbers like scripture?
  22. Sorry. Not all of us are crazy enough to pay bioware to repeat the same content again by leveling up our same toon to 50 again.
  23. I think your argument is fallacious and I'll use a sports analogy to explain why: I am not an NFL player. In fact, my football "career" ended like most people's (in high school.) Despite the fact that I do not play the sport at the highest level of play I still feel that my years as a fan and in small part as a player give me a reasonable understanding of the game. I can understand and make the conjecture for instance, that rules changes which limit a defenders ability to make contact with wide receivers will lead to a more prolific passing game across the board and would in fact make it easier for wide receivers to be successful while making it harder for cornerbacks/safeties, etc. You do not have to be an NFL player or coach to draw the above conclusion. You just need some knowledge of the game and the ability to apply said knowledge to your prediction. Time will tell if I am wrong but my opinion is not invalidated simply because I don't have an SWTOR trophy case to show you.
