Exly Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Well, not really. In this case, there would have been no loss whatsoever if that person had opened the chests.So it's not bad in the sense that there would have been no loss. Not like the tacticals that were removed. Still, it was in the devs power to do better, and make sure that nobody suffered a loss, and they chose to do what they did instead. Blaming their decision on the people affected by it is not something that I can agree with. Putting the burden on customers to guard against being wronged is not the way that I learned to do business. If I warned someone that I was going to take their stuff, would that make them to blame if I actually took it? I don't think so. In this case, BioWare warned people that they were taking stuff from them, and I will never believe that it is the fault of those who suffered the loss for the fact that they had their stuff taken from them.

Kissakias Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just want to boost this question--I am interested in this answer as well. If I need to get some of these now to be able to complete an Achievement later, we need to get moving. they remove completely the armors from spoils of war. In tacticals at least you can still gain some achieve points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Malganus Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Removing the Fanged God Forrn tactical from Carnage, was pure idiocy. Massacre now does no damage at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoOnasi Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 So take away obfuscate dropping marauders survivability and dps considerably, take away their only stun, send carnage back to the dark ages making them less fun to play... meanwhile most other classes in the game get shields, reflects, stuns and heals. All your pruning has done is screw the people who put the time and effort in to learn their characters. The people who cant take a **** without their companion escorting them to the bog wont notice a thing! After all these years Im finally starting to get ready to say goodbye to SWTOR. BIOWARE stop killing games! Mass Effect, Dragon Age, SWTOR... do you not see a pattern here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimeyDoom Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 remember people, you still have a way to protest. You can cancel your reoccurring subscription. Post feed back in the unsub questionnaire as to why. Then you can play as preferred or until bioware make changes to the game that make it worth subscribing for. And even if you don’t completely unsub, cancelling your reoccurring sub prompts the questionnaire to voice your feed back protest. You can then pay month to month on each monthly anniversary and it will still be like you are subbed. Send a message to bioware and ea management the only way they understand, financially. And that’s it from me for a while i think. My sub has run out and the server reset with the patch will prevent further posts. Good luck to you all and stay healthy in 2022. thank god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarahemla Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 No NiM crystals means less people will see NiM content. Any explanation why you want less people to see your content? No NiM crystals means blue flagship plans have less demand, which will make the price go down, meaning flagship plans, and by extension conquest has less value. Any explanation why you want conquest to have less value? Hi all, Clarifying some info and answering a couple questions that came in from the thread. Tacticals listed are being removed because their effects moved into Class Ability Packages, are not working as intended, or encouraged negative gameplay such as Go to Sleep and Fanged God Form respectively. Because Class Abilities will be receiving the effects of the Tacticals being removed, new Tacticals will not be added. Crystal of Nightmare Fury is being removed because players have the ability to become stronger in 7.0 more than they have been able to in previous updates. The Spoils of War achievements requiring Tacticals that will be removed have been adjusted to no longer require said Tacticals. The schematics that would be needed to craft Tacticals will not be able to be purchased from Kai Zykken. French and German translations of the listed items have been created. Lets just say that I have doubts. I am sure you have numbers of what % of the player base was clearing NiM operations in every expansion. The way I see it, you need 5 things to clear a raid 1) Friends, or at least guildmates to help you kill the boss (This is an MMO after all and you shouldn't be able to clear raids solo) 2) Knowledge of raid mechanics, knowing what to do to counter to boss 3) Good enough interface (internet and computer) to not lag out during boss fights 4) Good enough gear to have the stats to kill the boss 5) Good enough skill to put the knowledge and the gear together to press the buttons fast enough, and in the right order to kill the boss. NiM crystals helped overcome #4 and $5, and to some degree #1 by buying into sales runs. One would think that with every expansion, that number would go up, as #2 would not be an issue after a raid has been out for years, the mechanics and boss fight videos would be out, to teach new players how to clear old content. I would be interested to know what % of the player base cleared NiM raids in every expansion. It would be interesting if you could let us know what % of the player base cleared NiM raids in this expansion (without NiM crystals) compared to previous expansions (when they could use NiM crystals). If a smaller % of players are clearing NiM operations this expansion, I would hope you would bring back NiM crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzastinBiberi Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I paid good money for Grit Teeth to be crafted for my tank and now it's pretty much useless for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motocross_man Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 the loss of fanged god form makes combat/carnage completely useless. yes the crit on the item was a good bonus, but it was the resource generation that made the style have flow. there is now no flow. even if devs made an internal change like massacre crit increased 10% but also refunds 1 focus/rage would have been a day and night difference. dropping that tactical is ridiculous because the spec revolved around the regen from that tactical.

Ruvalie Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Removing tacticals is fine, but you should have given us the credits + tech frags to buy a new tactical. 100 credits is a joke given how much they cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanged God Form is still part of the tactical achievement right now. Any chance this will be fixed with 7.1? Have previously tried to report in-game but they did not comprehend that FGF has been removed with 7.0 but BW forgot to remove it from the achievement.

oddbodz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 You're brains aren't functioning quite right over at EAware are they? Not that is anything new , you drop an expansion with all sorts of garbage people didn't want and continue to try to make players enjoy what the developers think is enjoyable. It will truly be amazing if this game has a population at all by the end of the year. Gratz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
