Dark Juno posted:

Well after the love of my life got married to someone else because I could never stand being around her due to developing a phobia of showing any interest in women after being raped as a child for showing interest in a girl, I became attached to the visceral effect of the original Tracer Missile animation for Mercenaries in the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. Unfortunately since the universe has declared that I'm not allowed to have any happiness of joy in my life, Bioware took that animation away to satisfy a bunch of dumb kids on the forums.

I really liked that animation. That animation was the last thing left in this world that gave me any joy.

Jark Duno posted:

Well since you brought it back up:

The animation is now on a terrible ability that is never used and it doesn't even have the correct sound effects of the original.

And I wouldn't have to keep asking if the developers would just sell me the the option to use the restored animation with proper sound effects on the original ability. On their for-cash market, where they sell a whole bunch of other worthless aesthetic junk.

But no matter now. I've quit and uninstalled that terrible game made by those terrible developers and it's been expunged from my consciousness. There's no need to bring it up again.

Dude, I'm always here. Watching. Lurking.

But yeah, I've been super busy making stuff for SWTOR. Some cool things coming soon, I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I did making them.

Once I can post some screenshots or something I will. Right now I am busy getting ready for Star Wars Celebration in Orlando next week. Then it'll be back to making pretty pretty pixels.

Is that a standard lightsaber in the dulfy link about the Warbound Crusader pack? At first I thought it was a dualsaber but I'd expect to see the other end sticking out from behind the player, but it looks like a rather long hilt and blade for a standard saber.

Sin > Jugg > PT. Jugg still has best single target threat and DCD's but the utility adding a reflect to Deflection is crazy op.

Dark Juno posted:

I made a thread telling them they could either merge Kolto Overload with Energy Shield via utility or buff Kolto Overload to 70%-80%. They went ahead and did both and broke the class. Idiots.

DrunkenGarbageCan nailed it. As always, my heart lies with my Assassin Tank so seeing them be top poo poo is great.

Amazing in PvP too, though you need to build a second set of endurance heavy DPS gear since defensive stats are largely useless.

Yeah there's nothing quite like the satisfying feeling when I'm fighting one on my Operative and I think "Oh gently caress me, I'm dead", then see a net on me at 90% health and reflect + energy shield go on as soon as I start attacking them. Then it's a satisfying "Oh, okay, I'll just roll around for a few seconds and then murder you."

Personally I'd have Bioware remove Electro-Net altogether. It's a band-aid fix that is too strong against certain classes, and virtually worthless against anything else.

Other changes I'd make:

Remove Trauma Regulators
Nerf the surge bonus Arsenal gets to be inline with everyone else's surge talent
Nerf the damage of Heatseeker Missiles and put that damage back into Tracer Missile
Remove the snare utility for Tracer Missile
Add a legendary utility that increases the movement speed of the player by 100% for 2 seconds after successfully casting Tracer Missile, Power Shot or Rapid Scan.

Thanks for the info, guys. Trying to force myself to play a tank, even though this means not playing my beloved DPS rotations. I've managed to run 1 of each up during the 250% block, so Ill see which one suits me best. Quite liking the PT so far

Well as I've said before, unless you're planning on doing progression raiding, everything is viable. Powertech has some great utility and are the least cooldown reliant of the three. Sonic Rebounder is also one of the most useful utilities in the game.

If you're still on our server and ever playing in God's true time zone and want to practice running something I can always heal ya through it.

gently caress this game is poo poo. How can Bioware staff live with themselves, perpetuating this terrible, soul leeching game? They should really just all kill themselves if this is the best they can do in life. They've already sold themselves to EA so their lives have no intrinsic value. They might as well be Nazi soldiers "following orders" to gas jews.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
How do you start the shadows of Revan expansion? I recently came back to the game and just finished the original storyline and wanted to move on to this Revan one. I assumed by going to the Herald of Revan on the fleet it would start but it says I need to purchase the expansion. Is it not free for subscribers or do I have to do something extra to get it? I double checked my subscription and it's up to date

You should see a Droid on the west side of the fleet with a purple triangle above him, and assuming you're level 53 you can start the prelude. Alternately you can start it from your ship terminal.

The Herald is just a vendor that sells pre-order statues if you pre-ordered SoR

Got some bad news for you DrunkenGarbageCan...looks like you're going to have to spend your day off doing something else.

quote:

Hey folks,
We want to ensure our updates release at the highest quality possible and Game Update 5.2: The War for Iokath is no different. At this point in time, we are not satisfied with the quality of the Iokath update. For that reason, we are delaying the release of 5.2 by one week, to release on April 18th. This allows the team more time to make improvements to address some of the issues still pending. We did not make this decision lightly as we are very eager for all of you to get your hands on the new storyline, reunite with old Companions, or try your hand at taking down the God of Rage himself.
As soon as we know timing for the next maintenance I will post that information. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. We do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We will post the patch notes either today or first thing tomorrow so that you know what is planned for 5.2!
Thanks everyone.
