Another MMO xpac. Another player base debate about changes. Having played MMOs for almost 20 years now I've seen this story play out countless times. Here's the truth people: annectdotal stories, straw man arguments, and apples/oranges comparisons are not how these debates get settled. Data is the only non subjective truth. if mercs are or aren't overpowered you need credible evidence to support your claim. everything else is just noise that will be ignored by the development team

Base Damage on Corrosive Grenade and Corrosive Dart gets reduced while the multiplier from damaging microbes gets a big boost. Work the math to make sure the total damage done on a PVE target from 100%-0% health doesnt change much to maintain balance. This would help PVP so much as right now the DoT damage is useless anyway and is simply there to buff corrosive assault. With this change the DoTs would actually hurt, but only when a target is below 30% health which is when you'd like them to hurt anyway. Thoughts?

Thank you Dev team. There is an overt negativity bias on all MMO forums but credit needs to be given when its due. This was a problem, it was raised by the player base and it was addressed appropriately. Kudos.

If you think the CEOs of billion dollar companies are actually monitoring their public social media accounts personally i've got a bridge to sell you. you just got a reply from the marketing department or his executive assistant bud

Hey folks, We have seen quite a few questions about the rate that the Odessen Proving Grounds are popping in the Warzone queue. We want to let you know that it isn’t a bug that is causing this to happen. As you know, this Warzone allows players on both Factions to be on the same team. One side effect of this is that it is far easier for this Warzone to pop than the others as it only requires 16 players, and not a specific Faction distribution of those players. This has caused you to see more of Odessen than you might expect. Even though it isn’t a bug, the team is looking into options to create a larger spread among the Warzones that pop in the future. I will pass on any further information as I have it. Thanks everyone. -eric - directly from the Devs. My question is how something like this can happen. Bioware is employing software engineers I assume, and basic statistics and probability are a curriculum requirement for accredited universities offering that degree. I mean seriously, nobody in the entire process of designing the new WZ considered the impact on the generation rates when 1 of the possible WZs was given easier requirements? There has to be somebody responsible for keeping a track on the "big picture", and that individual failed miserably on this one

Having one Warzone that is cross faction has a predictable outcome. I cant remember the last time ive played anything besides 4v4 or Odessen. Please fix.....and fire whoever was in charge of the pvp growth strategy

From Stealth: Lethal Strike Shiv Debilitate Corrosive Dart Corrosive Grenade Sever Tendon Corrosive Assault Corrosive Assault Toxic Blast Corrosive Assault Corrosive Assault Shiv Corrosive Assault Corrosive Assault exfiltrate and reevaluate the situation if you have pin down this should give you 6 CA's on the target before they move. assuming you can get the debilitate off before they react to you coming out of stealth(which I find is pretty often)
