Mournblood Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Eric/Keith, A lot of us are anxiously awaiting details of what you have planned to address Skank tanks, as well as what other class utility changes may be included in 5.9. When can we expect to see those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can we expect to see those? When 5.9 goes live, most likely. I have a feeling that they want to sit on these changes because they know people are going to burn villages over them, and so they want to wait until it goes live so that it's too late to do anything about it.

This is my feeling too unfortunately. It seems they never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRogue Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 They already announced some stuff on the Livestream(?) was it last Fri. Did you watch/listen to that? Or read the notes on it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblood Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) They already announced some stuff on the Livestream(?) was it last Fri. Did you watch/listen to that? Or read the notes on it?? From what I recall, there were no substantive details offered in that livestream about what specific changes (buffs/nerfs) they had planned for Skanks and other class utilities. The entire community has been in the dark since they announced that 5.9 would contain class balance changes.

In my experience on these forums, people will burn villages over the fact that Eric blinked one time too many on his way to the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch/listen to it but my guildies were talking about it in our Discord & how they were just broadly nerfing the tank stuff. (Which they were not pleased with.)

DavidAtkinson Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This is my feeling too unfortunately. It seems they never learn. No big loss.... People come an go in MMO's and they can't please everyone. Doesn't matter what they do, some people are going to be unhappy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also part of the Circle of Destruction the devs seem intent on following. Don't tell the players about the massive game-changing/breaking patch they plan to drop on their heads. Counterproductive at best, diabolically evil at worst. It's probably safe to say anyone that stays a sub with SWTOR is a masochist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurj Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It's going to be a dumpster fire regardless of the overall effect of the utility changes, which hopefully will balance out the effect of a significant loss of tank DPS. I would still prefer that they do this now. Waiting won't change the reaction, and at least those impacted will have time to re-gear or re-roll as they choose.

Wimbleton Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I wouldn't release them before hand if I was them. No matter what it is, all anyone is going to do is theory-craft, whine and be dramatic. How is that helpful to them? And they've already shown us they don't gaf about the players. So, logically, there's no reason to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
