Hohoho.... As I had unsubbed my long time recurring sub when i saw the pathetic changes to the game in early November I can only observe the *****torm from afar. I have no desire...not even a little bit to even log in to the game. Initially i planned to waltz to the 30min-60min story to have some sort of a closure (not that the story was any good from KOTET onward - its a joke), but i have zero desire to touch anything 7.0 related, not to mention puting my CM weapons aside for ridiculous green unmoddable gear. I can only hope the great minds that conjured 7.0 get their just desserts. Good job destroying the only SW MMO....though i really hope some other studio takes it upon themselves and produce great SW story with great PVP, great PVE. BW has proven unworthy for this great IP.

BW Forum Apologists are the same in every thread...i mean 3,4 People....and they talk about the same people ranting....Fascinating.

All right....I will entertain this for a short while, although being pointless. Class nerfs. No comment on Operatives? How come? They not losing anything major and getting buffed is no biggie? This lame exuse about DPS Guardian .. o boo hoo they gave back some skills and made up some choices but the class feels weak and gutted as ever. No sane person will play it on even remotely competitive PVE and PVP. How about that? Reducing DCD is one thing ( actually i was in favour of this, because characters were becoming unkillable in regs) but this total nerfhammer and simplifying is another. Its just bad design. No other words to say about it. I have been playing Guardian from 2013 and i have not seen so disgustingly gutted my favorite class. It seems some manbuns dont know how to play against melee and would like their favourite (cough cough Operative) class to shine some more. Gearing - loooool. How about not being able to use cartel market weapons because no outfitter and non modable gearing??????? Non modable gearing!!! Is this real life though...Horrible stat distribution on the gear pieces. Grind. Gear being locked out by content. Imagine thinking people wont be running the same weeklies/FP and instead all are going to go play OPS - never happening. Gear is a total mess. Patching some non-important wounds does not make for a inherently bad system. What else...Hmm. Shortest story and content for an expansion? Horrible level sync? Conquest changes? So...yeah...what else..

Its not that unexpected. I think most of the people here are familiar with the Anthem total debacle and the outright lies there and the epic tanking of that game. Well i can assume a part, if not most, from Anthem's team came here. So this is the results....imagine trying to sell cosmetic gear which is unusable at the highest level...

Imagine thinking limiting players from using cartel market weapons at highest level and thus limiting your sales is a great idea..... This is an excelent business decision..Me and some friends are still laughing...

Careful. Dont feed the trolls. Those people come here after any unpopular/braindead decision from the devs and start to attack everyone criticizing it and spam every topic with the same posts (only different words).

Soooo... players are still going to be forced to use your fugly weapons instead of CM weapons, because of static gear? I am sure your overlords EA would love the idea that people wont buy CM weapons, because they really cant use them in the game at max level. Whoever is in charge of this should be thrown out.

Lets cut the crap. Playing with ugly basic weapons, instead of customizable cartel market or otherwise weapons with crystals/tunings etc. is the most ridiculous thing to ever happen here. Do you really think this will be accepted by the playerbase? Delusions...and more delusions. You will be in for a rude awakening.

Yep. Incompetence is often mistaken for Malice. This is what 7.0 is - complete and utter incompetence. It continues the trend which ME:Andromeda and Anthem have shown - this is the sorry state of BW.

"Expansion" is so strong of a word for the debacle that 7.0 is. Update is more like it. Other than that I completely agree of what has been said in this topic so far.

13y-old children mashing buttons ARE their target audience...

Truth has been spoken.

Oh...sorry...thought the topic was about Mass Effect 2 and Witcher Wild Hunt.

I have...and have provided feedback there...as if anymore is needed..perhaps posts with hundreds of replys is not enough? What is the point of more feedback when it feels BW is delibreratly gutting some force-users classes? For a matter of fact I have been playing almost exclusively for 6 years all Guardian/Jugg and Sentinel/Mara disciplines PvP and PvE wise. As I and many other have said classes are unplayable and gutted and anybody with half a brain can look at the combat style choices for lvl 50 and above and see that the DPS Jugg/Guaridian loses two of its most important defenses/utility skills. Not to mention the class overall feels weak. In PvP there would be a slaughter....putting aside Ranked where DPS Jugg is one of the weakest classes....with those changes this is going to be the weakest class even in unrakned warzones. Yes the rotations are there and feel better now, but they are not my main gripe with the styles. No good def, no cc immunity, while the dps numbers are not the highest...even if the idea was to make the class a glass-cannon it is not done even remotely good. Unimaginative...this is the word. Sorry but I have no intention of sugar-coating some cosmetic changes, whereas the Jugg most important defense and utility skills are lacking. The class was supposed to be buffed not nerfed to the ground in comparison with other classes. How about those Operative changes eh?? How about them?? Can anybody come and say how much the class lost compared to other classes....or how much other classes lost compared to dps jugg and for some part mara/sentinel? This combined with the ridiculous gear lock and grind behind OPS which are boring and ez, but needlessly time-consuming and the meager amount of story content, the worst level sync i have ever seen and the horrible stats disperse (really BW...do you even play your game) that comes with it has overflowed my cup of patience for this ongoing debacle of sinking this game with laughable decisions.

Whoever says DPS Jugg/Guardian and for the most part Sentinel/Mara are playable in PVP is delusional, The "fixes" are cosmetic and do not take care of the ridiculousness that are ability paths on higher lvls of combat styles. For PvE it will be somewhat better, but no serious OPS group will want DPS Guardian/ Sentinel. Classes feels boring, gutted and heavily nerfed compared to other classes... having favorite classes, eh BW?

How about hundreds of posts about how gutted and utterly unplayable is DPS Jugg/Guardian. How much more feedback is needed for blind eyes and deaf years?

As others have said - a bad joke, though this probably is a good decision, but lets see how it is handled: Announcement almost right before the "expansion" came (this is not a real expansion lol j/k). Two months will not be enough to fix the bad mess and horrible decisions that are - 7.0 Gear system, 7.0 CQ changes, 7.0 Level Sync, Overboard nerfs on Jugg/Mara - Knight/Sentinels making iconic classes unplayable. Nothing fixes this, nor the jokingly small amount of story being added. Wont renew my sub, nor my brother's. Communication???? you say....another bad joke.

How about that - they nerfed Jugg and Mara to the ground, compared to other (their favourite) classes. DPS Juggs and Mara are unplayable in PvP at the moment. Lol at anyone who thinks this was a great idea.

Hehehehe, this is gold. Though it was quite obvious they did not know how to write a good story after WoTLK. I actually rather enjoyed Legion's story, but after that, the story is the stupidest thing i have ever seen. I mean..it is a bad fanfiction. Similarly, here, after KOTET the story is sooo bad, it makes me sick at times.

Such a good post, i decided not to SNIP it. I will only add the following - Raids are not only very Boring here, but the skill cap for them is not that great....most mechanics are simple and repeated like robots. For them to bank all their bucks into this kind of niche content is laughable...but we all know the reason (cough...personal dev guilds....cough....private discords...cough manbuns not having the slightest idea about pvp and having favourite classess...cough mercs...cough operatives). All very laughable. I of course cancelled my reccuring sub the moment i heard about gear and conquest changes and I have no desire to even check out the small bit of story for 7.0. Small bit of story for 10 year anniversary - what a joke...

Thats my plan aswell.

Stream was pathetic. Fake excitement. Flea ammount of content, instead resources used for dumbing down the game, outdated and bad gear progression, conquest catastrophie etc..

Yeah i will probably go try SWG someplace then while waiting for the new open world rpg Star Wars game in the making.

This probably is not far from the truth.

Thank you, and also thanks to Steeve. Gone are my days when we raided for whole nights wiht 50 people old Lineage 2 Raids like Valakas, Zaken etc., or grouping for Nim Raids Here. I no longer have the time or the mindset to do this. I enjoy the other aspectss of MMO stil, but no longer grouping for serious content. I will have to think about FF14 then, i was almost on the edge to buy the game and all the expansions.
