FWIW, a lot of folks like myself have put our codes on social media like Twitter and Facebook, and gotten random folks we don't even know to sub. Not just all people spamming fleet and swapping codes with each other.

Hey JP, how much do clothes cost in the Matrix?

The 1st stickied forum thread is about this: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=853848

Thank god someone here has some sense. Preach.

Even though I know you're being sarcastic...you'd be amazed how many companies rely on metrics for everything, but how FEW companies know when to listen to user base and understand metrics do not always equal customer satisfaction. I have worked for two rather large, well known data driven tech companies. One listened to users. The other, not so much. One had insanely high customer satisfaction rates, the other not so much...I'm sure I don't have to explain which one was which.

Cheers!

Pre-load crafting out the wazoo. Have enough people doing it in your guild and you can rack up conquest points easy. Also, if you have a lot of PVPers in your guild, they tend to rack up a lot of conquest points.

Last I checked (last night) my 31 IL HK-51 had roughly 29% crit....and now he has 13.71%. Let me introduce you all to this spiffy new word out there in tech company land....it's "HOT FIX". AHEM. EDIT: I "hotfixed" it myself by logging out and back in, so apparently my bad on that one. Really weird though - I should learn to screenshot crap like this for posterity.

They were starting to do well with the armor design...and now...this. 'Scuse me whilst I spew chunks. That gear is butt heinous. The new Vondell mount is aight I guess....some of the decor looks ok too. But this go around, I'll just waste my creds on GTN, not my real cash in the CM.

Then leave. Quite simple. No likey? Beat it. And don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on your way out.

I see that in Tank and DPS stance too. My main is a Merc (heals) and I primarily use HK as my comp. I have him to 31 Influence, plus my Legacy & presence which are pretty decent after 3 years. There are times where HK will literally just stand there while mobs beat on me, even with me triggering him to start the fight and (trying to) let him hold aggro. There were times during a few H2s the other day where mid fight, without being stunned or incapped he quite literally just stood there. All comps stand smack in the middle of AoE regardless of stance they're in. Meanwhile NPC mobs will AVOID AoE. Gee...how did they manage to make the NPC mobs smarter than your dang comp??? I keep reading these posts, dreading logging in to see how bad this all is.

Gonna test this out later....cheers.

We get it...your e-peen is MASSIVE.

Odd...I mistakenly started putting properly modded Main Hands and Offhands in my comps after 4.0 not realizing that they "didn't need them"...and so I removed some of the modded items and replaced them with the non modded vanity weapons - and I saw zero difference at all.

You have been sh*t talking people all day with your elitist nonsense...build a bridge and get over it. BTW you're cute when you're acting offended after being an offensive ****** all day. But please, go report me so you feel better about yourself.

Yes...infinitely more fun than slogging through mob after mob of trash EVERYWHERE because combined with level sync, you can't just get from point A to point B anymore without a fight. A nerf would have been ok. A nerf ICBM however, was not necessary.

Let me correct you. It's misplaced IN YOUR OPINION. And you know, opinions being subjective things...well....yeah.

I am hoisting a pint for you...couldn't agree more.

I've been at the office reading all of this and dreading the nerf. Of course I'll go home, run the patch (hope it doesn't take a millennium to download), and give it all a go. If it's as bad as I am seeing/reading, I will quite likely just install my new Battlefront which came today, and give my Star Wars love to that instead. For the record...I beta tested, subbed just before RoTHC launched, and haven't lapsed sub since. I have sunk WAY more "real life" cash into this game than I'd care to admit. I have played pretty much all aspects of the game aside from PVP (because the PVP community here is toxic as all get out), and I definitely don't WANT to leave the game. However, if the nerf bat was swung that hard, and my playing through story content and H2's is now painful, then that is just what I'll do. Sure, I'll probably check out the new story chapters as they come out, but it may simply be time to start thinking about having a new "favorite" game.

Gold star for you...couldn't agree more.

This only changes your spec though, not your class....so you can't swap from say an Assassin to a Sage.

Either see a fleet Respec person, or unlock Field Respec in character perks.

Quite simply, the way this *should* have been handled, was to increase the HP/DMG of mobs and bosses, not to decrease the output of comps. But expecting Bioware to do anything sensible, much less incrementally...that's just crazy talk.

This is a perfect example of how you can admit that yes there was a problem with comps being *somewhat* OP, but also acknowledging that Biofail swung the nerf bat way too hard....AGAIN. For all those douchenozzles saying that the nerf was correct...I hope you all get cold sores.

And the decent thing for You to do would be to pipe down and stop offering your less than sage opinions in a thread that you clearly disagree with. After all it's the decent thing to do. C U N ext T uesday.
