I am having a blast on my balance sage in pvp so far. The best part is that I get to see WZ other than huttball.

I happen to like having a ranged playstyle around so do obviously a huge number of other peeps. There are tons of sages out there. Sages are overpopulated. Sorcerers are even more popular. There are lots of people who like a ranged caster playstyle. I do not get why you are so intent on destroying the Sage playstyle for the people that enjoy it? You knew that the Sage did not rely on the light sabre and rolled one anyway?

I will put my response into fairly abstract terms. Sages currently do x damage. The devs feel x damage is correct. To do x damage requires us to use deplete our force several times in a fight. Now, adding bonus damage to our light sabre attacks causes us to exceed x by a significant amount because we have a strong attack while depleted. So in essence being depleted means absolutely nothing. The devs would have to nerf our range attacks "to the ground" to get back to x damage. Consulars already have a mixed light sabre / force power playstyle with a balance shadow. There really is no alternative for someone who likes a purely ranged playstyle. You are destroying a unique playstyle for a playstyle that already exists.

Not quite 50 yet, but I agree. This game is awesome.

Sages seem to grow on trees on my server. There are a ton of sages. Shadows are pretty popular as well. I do agree that Vanguards seem pretty rare. Now, how many sages can actually play their class is another story.

Sages have excellent ranged attacks, excellent control abilities, excellent CC, but at the cost of wanting to stay out of melee range. Giving us good melee abilities would have to come at a steep cost. I do not want my playstyle destroyed because you want to use a light sabre in melee when their are already heavy to moderate light sabre consulars (ala infiltration shadow / balance shadow). I wish Bioware would implement AC changes so folks would not have to reroll to go to the playstyle that they like.

This is very true. Proper use of CC is your friend.

I have not found healers to be in that short of supply. Most of the time it is the tank that is the last spot to be filled. As long as the tank is coordinating with you, you should be okay. The other dpser should be following the tank anyway.

QFT! I agree with this. The shadow AC is based heavily, heavily on light sabre usage. Shadows / Assassins wreck folks with their light sabres. The two ACs need to remain different and not become clones of each other. The sage is based on being a supreme force user not a light sabre master. I like the way my sage plays in flashpoints (btw my alt is a assassin). I do not want my force abilities watered down for a second rate light sabre attack. If you want strong light sabre attacks go shadow.

QFT! The functionality is there. My Nvidia 460s are working just fine with it.

I am not a fan of the current restrictions. There really is no reason for them.

This is very annoying.

I would bug report this one. This does need to be hotfixed on pve servers.

Sentinels are the king of single target dps and great at bursting down a target in pvp. However, they do tend to be fairly squishie with few outs.

QFT! This game is incredible. I hope Bioware keeps adding content of this quality or better!

1. Never played SWG 2. Played WoW a long, long time ago.

I am also looking forward to seeing what Bioware has in store for us.

Yay! They finally released the app!

There are a lot of disturbed peeps out there. Many of the negative reviews were written by people who just registered.

Yeah, I like to have my character in a actual story. Good luck to everybody enjoying the game.

This is a good idea. You can only need on items with your main stat.

Nice video, thanks for posting.

I am in the same boat. I will grab a 6 month sub. I have been having a blast.

I am having a blast so far, so my current rating would be an 8.5 or so. However, I will reserve judgement until level 50.

The companions are a pretty awesome feature of this game.
