SilTitan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Obviously we as gamers are split on this subject. However, not all of us are. Those who agree with me and don't want to leave this game because developers drove us away, please sign a petition I started. Oh and for those who say WoW does this all the time: your right it does. And you also fail to mention how people are moving away from that game because of such things. No, its not the only reason, but its just one of many and I don't this game to be the same. http://www.statista.com/statistics/276601/number-of-world-of-warcraft-subscribers-by-quarter/ To not lower DPS: https://www.change.org/p/electronic-arts-don-t-lower-dps-in-swtor-3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darka Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Dont worry about how much DPS you may be doing, worry about how much fun you are having. The amount of DPS doesnt really matter, the higher the DPS does not mean the greater the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all. It will make current 55 content harder if you don't buy the xpac, and that is the only thing i'd be concerned about. The new raids will not be tuned for 10k DPS. They will be tuned similar to how it is now. You won't hurting because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part of your graph is going up. And they just announced they added 600k subs! Yeah keep crying about low dps good luck with your petition lol I'm sure next week you will be threatening a lawsuit after you get ten signatures on your failed petition. http://www.wowhead.com/news=243670/600k-more-subs-hotfixes-and-patch-notes-for-patch-6-0-2-warlords-class-tuning-ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence_of_Light Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Even if a load of people did /sign the petition, I doubt Bioware would change anything. Things like this rarely get changed after being announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanNV Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You do realize there are valid design reasons for cutting DPS output, right? They have WAY over buffed DPS over the last several months and the only way to balance it is to either cut DPS or over buff healing and mitigation and then redesign the operations. Somehow, cutting back the DPS seems like the smarter design to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelinCarnate Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Show me where a petition for change in MMOs has actually prevented a change from taking place and then perhaps I will even bother considering signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZETA_SCORPII Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'll give this new change a chance and just cross my fingers that it doesn't create unintended ripple effects throughout the game. I get why they are doing it, but they should have just made dps progression minimal from 55-60 to deal with the dps being OP issue. That way they wouldn't have to go back and tweak any current 55 content and focus on giving us more content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This is ridiculous. Total damage means nothing. Comparative damage is everything. Is it OK to be concerned about the possible comparative numbers post 3.0, or is that also, as some would say "crying over silliness"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halinalle Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Pretty much spot on. Healers lose more damage than damage dealers. "I'm DPS and I should be allowed to ignore kill order! Are you saying that I should kill weak/standard first and not leave them to healer to deal with?" Edited November 2, 2014 by Halinalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between being concerned but waiting until you more informations to make a choice, and doing what OP is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
