The 1st decision they made is something they will never be able to recover from and is causing the death of this game. The Hero Engine. They could of built there own engine where a planet is not a zone(very linear zone) but a PLANET. Meaning if you travel far enough in one direction you will end up back at the start point. Even if not realistic its way better then what this game is now. They are clueless about pvp, class balance, FUN, real choices, GOOD storytelling, everything. THis game failed and will likely NEVER BE GOOD. I MIGHT try it out again when the 1st expansion comes out but right now its dead in the water.

I think 99% of the people playing this game are feeling the same thing right now. I had such huge hopes for this game to be different and be unique. Instead we get a Terrible done WOW clone. It would of been fine if it was a GOOD Wow clone but this is just a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WOW CLONE. Did bioware not realize that everyone is burned out from WoW, why would they try to clone it . . . There is no WoW killer, there never will be. YOu have to do something different and this game failed in doing it. MY entire guild basically quit after the 1st month and pretty much went back to WoW. Why would they quit WoW for a terrible clone of WoW? There is no reason at all. Myself, I am waiting for Guild Wars 2 because they have a UNIQUE vision of there own, They are not making a WoW clone or even a competitor to WoW. Its something completely different and it looks amazing so far. This game is in too deep with the current design choices to get better. I might re subscribe if the 1st expansion is good, and by good I MEAN DIFFERENT.

I know how to play, and Ive never been beat by another Sniper in a warzone, ever. The issue isnt that Snipers are bad, they arent. I love playing mine but I know they are not 100% working as intended. Before swtor came out, Snipers were hyped as the ultimate dps class because they had no utility outside of DPS. Your telling me youve never been beat by another class in a warzone? Ive seen Powertechs do 550k+ dmg in warzones from there crazy aoe. Same with sorcs/consulars. Snipers DPS would be fine IF they had a healing tree or some kind of other utility to make up for it. Right now we have none and I think that Snipers deserve to beat any other class in damage because thats all we can do. No other class should even come close to our dps in pvp. If a powertech is doing 500k in a warzone, Snipers should be able to get 1 million dmg in a warzone. >

My Sniper does good damage also and many times I beat Mercs and sometimes I get beat by Mercs in Warzones. It doesnt really mean anything because every warzone is different and every player is in a different skill level. I dont have any Mercs that pvp in my guild so its hard to tell where I sit in warzones against a great Mercenary player. I do know that yesterday I fought 1v1 against a Commando(merc mirror) and got friggin Hammered so bad. He did a 3k Instant Grav/Tracer using the lvl 50 ability. then slammed me with Heatseeker crit and Rail shot/Rocket punch. I was able to crit him for a 1.5k ambush from a 1.5 second cast, His heavy armor mitagated most of the damage. Dont get me wrong, I love my sniper but right now I dont feel like a deadly sniper. Its sad how I get most of my kills from light armor classes and medium armor classes. I wont even try to burn down a tank on my own, it takes way to much time when I can focus on other people.

Oh and about crit, another glaring favoritism is in Gear bonuses in CHampion/Battlemaster Gear. BH get 15% crit on Tracer Missle which is a huge bonus to there MAIN ABILITY. Snipers get 10 free energy every 2 minutes -_- GG

I really enjoyed leveling my SNiper, also we are great at PvE content if thats what you like to do and in pvp we are decent but I dont feel like a Sniper, its more of an assist dps role.

Leveling my Mercenary today made me realize how damn broken Snipers are. Death From Above vs Orbital Strike = no contest in pvp. Orbital maybe better for PvE. Tracer/Heatseeker vs Snipe/Ambush = Merc has it way better. No cover/no deflects/less mitagation/one is instant cast and NO COVER REQUIREMENT Energy shield vs Evasion = its a joke how bad sniper one is. IT ONLY WORKS AGAINST SNIPERS. Energy SHield is a flat 30% dmg reduction. way better. Jet vs Cover Pulse = BH knockback is a 1000x better, holy crap. Cover pulse rarely EVER WORKS RIGHT. Jet pack knockback requires no cover and its instant. so much better. Heavy ARmor vs Medium Armor = . . . . . HEALS vs NO UTILITY/HEALS = SERIOUSLY!?!? BH Ranged Stun vs Melle stun = BH obviously Level 50 unique ability: BH get "Next move is instant Cast" INCREDIBLY GOOD ABILITY Snipers get 20% alacricity -_- Its been proven many times that alacricity is actually useless since energy is an issue. THeres probably more but screw it . . . My rank 58 Sniper is going to take a short break while I level my Mercenary up . . . if thats what Bioware wants us to do then I have no choice.

All Rifle attacks need to be changed to Tech Abilities. I have 110% Tech accuracy and 100% regular accuracy. I get alot of deflects in pvp so making rifle shots Tech and allowing me to use all 110% accuracy would greatly help in fighting tanks. Cover Pulse needs to be useable outside of cover, and when its used it drops you into cover automatically. It can also still be used in cover. Series of Shots needs a scaling talent. Something like Ambush Crits make your next SoS hit for 30% more. Evasion needs to work against ALL ATTACKs, not just other SNipers and Warriors. Our basic spamable no Energy rifle shot should have a chance on crit to gain energy. Every crit you get with Rifle shots you get 5 energy. New 31 point Talent in Marks "Silencing Shot: 1k damage Instant Cast: Stops current cast and blocks all spells from that tree for 4 seconds".

Marks spec wins games, Lethality spec just makes you get top damage while doing nothing to help your team. WIth Marks spec I can burst down a healer which will turn around a skirmish. With lethality spec you can dot everyone in the warzone and do a ton of damage that is very very easily healed through or just dispelled.

technical stuff like having a clue about population imbalances .. right.
