DPS have a competing stat to crit/surge "alacrity", so you as a player has an option to choose between one and the other. For tanks, there would be no competing stat to shield/absorb. All tanks would be wearing exactly same gear with no variation at all. It is a nice idea in theory but lacks the utility in implementation.

Just because someone is not taking the middle ground it doesn't mean they are being closed minded, and this applies to people on both sides of the dicussion. Not every issue should be approached from the middle!

When I first started the game, I was a complete and utter noob and I took the habit of clicking anything that changed what the mouse looked like when hovering over it. I was on my marauder leveling on Taris when I find this clicky blue corpse in front of a pipe, as a curious member of the human race I clicked it and his boss came out of nowhere and kicked my *** so much that once I reached level 50 I went back to Taris and killed that jerk and got the achievement, and that was my most memorable moment of me playing the game for over 3 years. So to answer you, no I don't agree with you. Level sync shouldn't be in this game.

Out the set of all possible changes to commendations, only the name change is happening. "Simply put, only the names of some existing Commendations are changing." It is very reasonable to assume that no one is losing anything, or that any conversion is going to happen.

Yes there is, did you meet the condition on the KotFE site? Yes, then you are good to go!

At this point I am not sure they even know what is the solution.

Been playing FPS since the days of Unreal Tournament (hint I don't suck at FPS), and Battlefront is boring. This is not an objective look at the game, no one can give you an objective "boring or not", so no need to resort to ad hominem because you don't like the opinions of others, just say you don't agree and move on.

Do you get how messed up this is? The fact that they might release a change like this to the game without completely understanding the full consequences of it is in the very least alarming. Now of course this could go online without a major hitch (a small bug here and there is acceptable and anticipated), but if it does go online with game breaking problems, well read the previous sentence...

It is alright guys they are "promising" us they would implement it next year, wink!

Considering the previous thread by Eric that the Post-story ach for doing the weekly is going away, I would assume they are making changes to the plant to remedy that problem.

When you say Mods, does that mean all gear modifications, or the modifications called "Mods" ?

I hope they change their mind indeed, PT DPS does not need a leap, it should be removed from those disciplines.

Oh man I can't wait for that game to come out. Anyway, if it is a success I am sure other companies will surely copy the concept (**cough, cough, EA**).

P2W is defined either by that or by an item or a situation that others need to grind to get to (grind to 60 and grind to max crafting level), do you want me to do a courtesy search for you as well to show you how it is defined again? So to repeat myself, you do not get to change the definition because it suits your agenda.

The only possibility that I can think of is a hard disk damage on the sector that held the file with the game version info . The game starts and it can't establish what version it is (because the file is damaged) and it redownloads. But as I said in my earlier post, I am not sure there is an explanation.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just to be on the safe side, do a hard disk scan and try to see if everything is okay.

Did this happen after an attempt to repair (and do you use SWTOR Unleashed?) or it happened on its own? Because if it happened on its own I am not sure there is an explanation...

You broke the game and it had to redownload. Always always keep a backup of the game files somewhere.

You don't get to change the definition because it suits your agenda. I don't get why it is ticking you (and others) so bad, the pay for level 60 is not the end of existence.

They are winning the grind fest, this is by definition P2W because those who opt not to buy "must grind both the character level and the crafting levels", but you seem to have missed the other part of my reply: In the overall scheme of things is not a huge advantage. If we were to have P2W, I would rather it be something fairly harmless like this over buying end-game PvE or PvP gear.

Just because people loved to throw that term around generously before, it doesn't mean it is not well earned right now. This is P2W, it is just not that important in the overall scheme of things.

There you go!

Last PTS patch files on the CDN server were on the 29th I think (last I checked anyway), so I guess either they stopped or about to.

I don't believe for a second that the engine doesn't allow it, this is a design issue. However, the amount of stuff they need to work out so that a faction change is allowed isn't worth the amount of money they could get out of it, It is a classic cost-benefit decision.

They are taking a huge bet with this one, they went with an all in if I were to use a poker terminology. Now we have to wait and see if this will pay off, regardless of our personal opinion on how things are going.
