Awesome class, until 1.2 further gimps them into pointlessness. Oh and have fun having no role in Huttball other than "annoying distraction".

Well said, and doing the same on both my accounts, put that 30$ to good use elsewhere. I have a buddy pretty high up in another company down in Austin, who in turn has some fairly high level friends within Bioware. Apparently between launch and 1.1 half the live team was let go. Which in turn would explain a lot of the behavior of late from the remaining devs. IE getting the feeling that they're shooting from the hip as they have no clue what they're doing. Also 1.3 is already in testing internally sooo GL getting any changes into 1.2. There is a hunch down in Austin that the 1.2 stuff is really just a primer to setup the changes that are going to occur in 1.3. Regardless of any of it, I'm tired of being dumped on by a dev house that is entirely out of touch with their consumer.

God those were good times. I ran the largest Mod site for CoH (custom local graphics and what not twilightaegis & coldforge). Had quite a few awesome chats with those devs, and have nothing but respect for how they behaved with their community.

Hey Pedia it's Gunshade from Juyo lol. I'm so torn on this gunk. I have 2 accounts one with a 50 sentinel already good to go on our server. But man all this just makes me want to bail, and wait on GW2. I haven't even been able to bring myself to play once since reading the notes =( Between BW behavior in this game, and the various things in Mass Effect 3 I've all but lost whatever faith I ever had in them as a dev house. I mean the 1.1 nerfs were needed but the class feels fine now imo. I win some, I lose some, the way a game should feel. People that have energy problems in PVE or PVP are just button mashing *******....period. Let alone in such large swaths as they are. But hey lets give us more accuracy and alacrity cause that's useful....right...Beuller....Beuller....

Exactly. Hell on my server there are a whopping 3-4 scoundrels that PVP on regular basis in champ gear or higher, and I see about the same of Operatives in the WZs(usually even less, often it's only 2 that work quite well in tandem). Meanwhile there is a dedicated 6 Sorc team that runs a good 7+ hours a day starting at about 4PM my time, along with a team of 9 BH + 1 op healer. But hey lets nerf 7.5% of our player base, hell like they matter. They're obviously OP! I mean look at how many there are !!! Bioware is so full of it, I love watching these user logs only back up the fact that BW has no freaking clue *** they're doing. The fact Sorc/Sage can do 900k-1mill + have the utility they have, and yet we get nerfed patch after patch? I mean where is the logic here. What has become of the stealth genre in MMOs? Have we reached a point where we cater so heavily to the idea that alpha strikes don't belong in MMO? I've been playing MMOs since EQ was in beta with no stops. This is beyond stupid. I'm not bailing on the game or this class, but I can't help but facepalm when I read half the patch notes in this game(not just our class). I'm left imagining a room full of monkeys trying to type shakespeare would come up with these patch notes. If BW has such proof to justify our constant changes. How bout showing us that proof. It's a lot like the internet adage "pics or it didn't happen". I don't buy that you(BW) have data whatsoever outside of random CSR tickets saying "BOOHOO Operative/Scoundrel killed me so not fair". You only have an archaic at best combat log coming in this patch, so I flat out don't believe you have better tools locally. Let alone "pages" of data you've poured over to analyze this data. If you did you'd support said combat log in game, as it would be easier to implement already having the backbone for it at the offices. I could go on, but I surmise that's enough for now. /haterade off http://becausewerenotallthere.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/aussie-haterade.gif?w=692

How fubar is PVP now? Adaptable or should I just unsub now and go back to enjoying my xbox. Currently I have little problems killing most people given proper circumstances. The expertise changes combined with class changes have me rather concerned unless they dropped something awesome stat-wise into Legacy.

Nah I just worked with Blizzard and NCsoft...I have no clue about how MMOs or how their engines/servers work. But you keep on fighting that good fight. I'm sure you can poke a hole in any sound logic if you looked hard enough.

While I can't speak for their credentials I'm happy to agree with that poster and list mine. -Bachelors in Computer Science UofL -Worked in Austin at a different dev house for 6 years in the MMO field -Published multiple times in technical journals -Fluent in ASP/All C variants/All .NET/Java and Jscript/LUA/XML/CSS -Fluent in webServices & multiple network protocols, including inventing one of my own So to reiterate there is no excuse for this type of downtime in 2012 outside of raw hardware updates/changes. BW is lying through their teeth left and right, or are simply so clueless as to their own tech that this is the result. For the record I could care less about the downtime as it doesn't effect me in the least. That being said, it would be nice if they'd at least be honest, or explain properly to the consumer the reason for such downtime. Sad to see how far they've fallen since the days of the original NWN.

Let's not forget the ever so fun Vanish followed by reappearing to heal, only to watch as your NPC instantly warps to the enemy you were fighting, and resumes doing so putting you back in combat. Had this happen about 3 times now, and all were before was even possible to hit passive. Or how about how fubar positional attacks get. Like I'm standing right behind the mob "Condition not met" my *** it wasn't met, I'm right behind the dumb thing. Or how about "Can not see the target"....umm come again seems pretty obvious where the target is on my screen... You know minor stuff that isn't game breaking... /sigh

Use method above or Give BW the bird for not supporting macros in a game with a GCD by using any number of keyboards that support custom macros/scripts. Both the Razer & Logitech G510 come to mind. I'm sure they violate the ToS or EULA, but frankly BW can sit on it and spin for all I care.

All I know is I want my Jedi Jawa...screaming Utiniiii as I force leap...

This ^^^

The only "innovation" in this game, are the many terrible decisions that were made in its' development.

Have the EXACT same issue since 1.1 Turned off Carbon Stream & The sustained burst shot, he's in medic stance. Even with no LoS he will just up and stop using healing abilities. As is his heals at 50 are like a player at 30....soooo add on the random heal stops and this kinda makes life suck(more than it already does as a Sent).
