exphryl Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) I think this is will be a huge benefit to classes limited to a set stat in PvP on their offhand. Due to us currently have a rather larger stat decrease compared to the three classes that have moddable offhand. Well, they could also just **** the bed and increase stats on the locked offhands still defeating the purpose, but least it's a start. http://www.swtor.com/blog/community-qa-may-11th-2012 David Hunt (Systems Designer): It’s due to arcane technical details. There’s no direct design reason, although there are some awkward situations and implementation details to address. We’ve been talking about options for how to fix the inequality between offhand items recently, and we’re about to start R&D on a potential fix.

Darthshnooky Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Please don't say "coming soon" in your title like that. In the Q&A, it sounds like it's a fairly long way off, as they are just starting development on it -- it will require development time and testing before we ever see it. Some folks will read your threat title, assume that means it is somehow promised in the next patch, and complain when 1.3 comes and it's still not in. While it's stupid, it's also the way it goes -- so you have to be responsible with how you word things. It is hopefully coming in the not-too-distant future... but not really "soon!"

Trust me that there are a lot more important things to worry about that need to come in 1.3 besides an offhand update. While it is cool that they are going to start R&D on it... 6 months after release because they obviously had no clue it was unbalanced before which should now just go without saying that they have no idea what they are doing... it probably won't come for another 2-3 months and then they might have to pull it 8 hours before release to do some last minute testing because during the R&D phases they were actually playing D3 and GW2.

AlyxDinas Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Sounds more like an answer full of meaningless techno jargon meant solely to placate people while no work is actually done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
