Great idea! Doing the story once or twice is bearable, but more than that? Nah.

Yes, I also hate the new no exploration single player instanced story mode of KOTFE and KOTET. I miss the 1-60 experience - with all the little side missions, open world, big planets to explore, hidden achievements. Sadly this is probably never coming back.

They don't bring it down anymore. But they should start using GMT+1 (BST time) instead of GMT. During summer GMT is not used.

980ti. Not much of a spec problem. FF14 runs hot on the video. It is common knowledge.

FF14 runs like crap tho. It is very heavy on the videocrad, altho the graphics are not that impressive. Very very badly optimized game. I hope they never "fix" swtor that way.

Hey, OP, how does it HURT YOUR FEELINGS to not have those mounts? Now as I said previously, be a good boy, make some credits (actual solo content for you, does not require group) and pay to some raid team to carry you through Brontes or whatever. These mounts will stay exclusive, and that's how it is going to be. Deal with it, you whiny little communist.

Do you think it is fair if I spend 30 years of my life building my house, and then some freeloader gets the same house for free? How do you think I am going to feel about it? I will be furious.

Thats like saying "if the PvP content was PvE I would do it". See, I don't do PvP, but do you see me crying about ranked rewards being exclusive to the PvPers? I don't care. These rewards are exclusive to ranked players the same way NiM mounts are for the PvE players. You want to equalize everyone and everything? A little online communist paradise? It never works.

Exactly. That's the point of the game and its rewards. Deal with it.

Now stop crying and go back to doing your solo content. For example you can focus on Heroics. Farm several hundreds of millions of credits, and pay some NiM team for the mount you want. Be a good boy and do that.

Because you can't have those rewards from SM. Simple as that. If your parents taught you that you can have everything you wish for without putting any effort, that's their fault.

You can have it, bud. Nobody is stopping you from doing NiM. You are just salty because some people are better than you in this game and have some exclusive rewards, that don't give any actual advantage. You can live without wings from brontes or rancor from DP, I am sure

No. Go away.

Says the guy who does not run Gods of machines HM or any other NiM operation. You know other people have different interests than roleplaying obi wan on fleet?

Where is the pyro PT then?

Why? This is the reason why I named this thread "Incompetence" - because there is literally zero reasons why melee specs must parse higher than the ranged specs. Melee specs have skills that allow them to shorten the distance, and are usually on a very short cd (15 seconds). They have speed buffs. They do not have to cast their abilities, which means moving out of stuff during raid encounter does not prevent them to use their abilities. The only advantage of the ranged spec is well the range itself, which is almost neglectable on most boss fights, because the mechanics are created in a way to not put melees in a big disadvantage.

This explains the snarky remarks

The point I am trying to make is that before the so called "balanced" patch, the leaderboard was so much more diverse - we had almost all the classes with the exception of sages. Now we have maras/operatives and assassins.

How come there is not single ranged dps in this leaderboard? Not a single one of top 1% of skilled ranged players made it to this leaderboard? Or are you implying that the most skilled players play operatives? LMAO It is a melee fest.

http://i.imgur.com/wpjAn0r.png This screenshot sums up pretty much everything that you need to know about the dev team of SWTOR™.

Another ignorant statement. Melees have leaps, teleports, speed buffs etc. They are in no disadvantage. Almost every mechanics that makes a melee dps to disconnect from its target, does the same for the ranged dps. Also the range dps is forced to interrupt their cast when moving out of stuff etc, which never happens to melees. This new melee meta is the worst thing ever, and BioWare proves once again their extreme incompetence.

The gap between operative/sentinel and commando/slinger is now over 1,5k dps. Was this your TARGET DPS™ - 10k for melees and 8.5k for ranged? You completely ruined the balance in PvE. Totally incompetent combat team. You guys should resign.

It is the most garbage system in the history of mmos. Some people get full 248 for 2 weeks, some people can't get a sh*t for months. F*** your garbage system ,a and F**** this game.

Also do add to the discussion of rotation difficulty, to make IO really shine you need to know boss fight to its very little details. Which makes the rotation not only hard but requires the players to be aware of the fight every single second and to know exactly when and what comes next etc. Most people who think IO is OP never played IO. Also not a single FOTM reroller plays IO.

They are not smart enough doing this. Most other mmos when nerfing some class usually change OP mechanics, and here we see decreased damage of this with X% and damage of that with Y%, based on a DUMMY parse. Devs are a laughing stock. IO has no burst capabilities whatsoever. IO has one of the worst and hard to execute AOE in the game due to its heavy energy drain, and you basically cant repeat until you get back on track with your energy. The only aspect of the game where this spec shines is pure single target damage (i.e. tunneling), which is very very rare in swtor NiM content.
