Highest single heal in a rated WZ Nik'tika <brutalize> 7882 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1emlo8&s=6

Thank you, Sir. You are a gentleman. <3 Nik'tika

I really think it's amusing that people are so upset by Jawas. If it were just one person spamming over and over again, I can see the GMs doing something about it. But I can almost guarantee that the people who spam things like "YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS" 100 times in a row to drown out the jawa are more likely to get a chat ban then like 80% of the server having fun. Here is a novel idea. If your ignore list is full and for some reason you can not leave general despite the overwhelming amount of jawa happening, you can always create your own anti-jawa general chat channel. Step one: /join NoJawasAllowed Step two: /1 If you are sick of seeing underclass jawa wherever you go, just /join NoJawasAllowed so that you can use the channel for all things general without having to interact with those disgusting jawas! Step three: Monitor your channel carefully and if you see any Jawa sympathizers you ban them from your channel that clearly states no Jawas allowed. Problem solved!

Actually subscriptions do account for only 6% of EA's profits each year. I highly doubt that this is anywhere near priority. You need to look at all bioware games. Something like 60% of their income yearly comes from sports titles. SWTOR living or dying is not going to have a drastic effect on thier stock portfolio.

Please dear god let me resize buffs and debuffs. Fix the Denova scoreboard. It seems like it is the only ui element that will not stay where I put it. Allow companions in in party frames. Allow all elements to be flipped horozonally and vertically. Better single targetting systems including a much smoother way to target characters not in your ops group when in large scale fights. Stacking or staggered health bars or name plates ability to toggle the nameplate on a person to only show when they are in casting range.

I am trying to upgrade a piece of my gear. I am currently wearing Battlemaster Force-Mystic's gloves. I have the tokens I need and the piece. However, I can only buy the War Hero Force-MASTER's gloves. Anyone else having this issue? I don't want to have to spend more comm's buying a second set of BM force-mystic gloves only to see that I still can only buy the force master upgrade.

Is there anyway that you could look into a UI option that allows us to resize the debuffs? It's difficult to see when you are in the middle of a raid trying to heal 16 people and watch super mini debuffs that all begin to look alike because they are so small.

Healers really need some kind of defensive spell, or just give us back the ability to reduce the cast time on our big heal now and then.

Thank you for the response. It is appreciated.

Nope, I have not received anything in the mail with an item that grants them.

Has anyone actually received either of the titles we were supposed to get from PTS for leveling to 10 and completing act 1? I don't have either and I leveled 1-50 on PTS.

Thank god. This was a good call. Speaking from someone who did actually test the rated WZ's, you would have had a lot more outrage from PvPers had it actually gone through. I applaude the fact that you decided to not put it in in the current state. It means that you have actually been listening to some of us. I'm hoping that the next decision will include a better test of the system by pvpers. We are really looking forward to ranked PvP, we are only so vocal because we want the playing field to be fair and properly worked over so the season is decided by skill and not randomness and exploiting.

And I agree with you completely here. But, from my perspective at least, they are just looking at the pure numbers at the end of say a boss fight, or a pug wz, or an ops. And the changes will look fine from that end, especially if your testers are good and testing end game raid content. However, I really consider this a huge overnerf that will drastically effect PvP healing because they kind of gutted anything that made sorc survivable in PvP and I don't think that they actually looked at it from that perspective. Anyhow, it's nice to see such a well thought out thread on these changes and no just general crying with no understanding really what they are crying about. Ha.

While I really appreciate that you picked my question and answered it, I was more asking if you could explain the reasoning behind everything else other then the force changes. Just as I stated above, I believe that sorcs both heal and dps needed changes to their force. That is something that any good player should be able to handle. I actually think all the changes are great for PvE healers. But I am looking at the rest of the sorc heal changes as a PvP healer who is planning on doing rateds. This is all manageable for the most part against PUGs, I have actually been testing it for the past week on the PTS. However, in a rated WZ situation, I really wouldn't see anyone at all wanting a sorc on any team unless they want a dedicated puller for huttball. Anyhow, I don't want to be long winded but I would love to see if you could test these changes in some real PvP and not just against random people who have decided to just check it out. Thank you.

I would just like to point out that the above was what I posted in the Q&A. While he answered the general question I made, my last statement is what I wanted him to explain about the healing. I do agree that there needed to be changes on force cost for both heal and dps sorcs, that wasn't the issue in my eyes. The issue is that they didn't just do that. I think the changes will be fine in PvE. I have actually been testing them on the test server. But the fact of the matter is, all the other changes they made (minus the base changes to force), make it almost impossible to heal and survive if you are facing anyone that has half a brain. On the test server in PvP I can control my force if I pay attention, yes it is harder, but we needed it. But they took away what makes us able to survive in pvp healing as a light armor wearing class. In the time it takes me to juke an interrupt and then have to hard cast the heal again, (against a good player,) I will die. We are squishy and our health just get's eaten up with all the hard casts. I'm looking at this as someone who is planning to spend most of their time doing rateds, not run around with pugs.

Even with fake casting, you still get wrecked. Why? Because in the time that you juke someone and then get a heal off you are almost dead anyway. I don't think you understand how squishy we are. A bubble will get beat off pretty quick, our "instant" heal is seriously like one hit from most classes. In 2.5 seconds it's possible to gib half our health and you think we are going to survive a juke and another hard recast in time?

Can you please explain some of the reasoning behind the healing nerfs? It almost seems like every healer is up in arms reguardless of class. The sorc healer changes, while easier to adapt to in PvE, are going to make a pure sorc healing useless in PvP. I can not stress this enough. I am all for revisiting the cost of force for both heals, but the changes to pure sorc healers in PvP are pretty much a complete disaster.

I just really can't wrap my head around the fact that BW can't see how badly they are going to kill sorc healers with these changes. There are already so few healers as it is, never mind good PvP healers. Yes, sorc healers can pad some retarded numbers in a WZ, but so can any other healer. If you actually look at the amount of sorc healers that are constantly above 3k without cheesing the numbers, you'll start to notice that it's probably a very small amount of sorc healers. And they usually have absoulte **** for damage. The vast majority of sorc heals seem to get around 1.5-2.2k.
