Thanks for posting this here I'm glad they fixed the "YOUR COMPANION HAS BEEN DISMISSED" bug.

[Deleted]

seems the delay bug fix is coming next patch.. hope its soon

and thank god the Operative is getting nerfed.

[atrixx]

This patch should go in on Tuesday. They seem to be keeping on top of this doing decent sized patches every week and smaller bug patches when needed every few days. They also seemed to figure out the ability delay issue and most of those problems go away next week. Would expect February to be filled with more bug fixes and then finally in March we get our scalable & movable UI. So with in 3 months of launch they should have nearly every major issue players are reporting solved or addressed.

Yey! Finaly IA / Smuggler nerf, but maybe abit much?

[asharia]

IA nerfs are too much. i've already cancelled my sub, and if they dont correct it, i dont think i will be renewing

With these nerfs, Op burst dmg will be on par with mercs and commandos, except for the fact that we can only do it once, from stealth. achieving stealth requires either a 3 min CD, or dying. Meanwhile, mercs sit back and mash one key to pull the same numbers. Lets not forget that autoface does half the work for them.

This is how Op pvp will go

Hidden Strike (2-3k crit on high armor)
(1.5sec stun if you're stupid enough to actually take the talent), target is on full DR
Backstab (2-2.5k crit)
(Debilitate, if you're smart enough to drop Jarring Strikes)
(Opponent trinkets)
Opponent knockbacks (no DR on knockbacks, like it matters anyway, one is enough)
Opponent snares/kites
You slowly die because you have no gap closer or utility outside of 10yds, unless you use vanish

rinse/repeat

If it is a bit much I hope that Bioware tweaks it so that it isn't so harsh, scoundrels/operatives are so squishy when you catch them out of stealth

[terrahero]

I feel they need to buff Ops and Scoundrels at other area's. Its a class with extremes on the spectrum, if they come out of stealth full buffed and with adrenals roaring they fuck stuff up. However, after this instant hero-mode, if they are caugth out of stealth or their victim slips away, they are childishly easy to take down.

Nerfing their opening burst was a good step, but they should take off something on the other side aswell. They should be stronger and more viable after or without the stealth.

Also, if the knockdown is only 1.5sec and fills a resolve bar, whats the point? before the gcd ends the target is up, and you cant use any other CC after that? Would be crazy to spec that, it would be gimping yourself if you did. Bad design.

The nerf is fine, IF they buff some defensive cooldowns. Like people are saying the are very squishy if u catch them out of stealth.

[Lord Kristivas]

The nerf is fine, IF they buff some defensive cooldowns. Like people are saying the are very squishy if u catch them out of stealth.

And yet, you can get them down to 2 hp, and they just vanish. A free "you lose anyway" button is a pretty powerful defensive cooldown. If IA/Smugs are underpowered after the updates, I imagine BW will fix them. Taking more than half your life in 2 GCDs was just too much.

If someone's letting a Merc stand back and turret, they deserve to die. I play one myself, and no PvPer worth a shit will just stand there and let me shoot missiles down on their heads.

U sir are crying hard, OPP are able to critt for 6 k dude.. compare UR class burst with a deception specced assasin,it's nothing like that not even close! the nerf was needed kk, move on.

And for the love of god, make a good Opener for us assasins, where is the actual burst? being dependent on recklessness isn't good... and what's up with maul, and ... do i realy need to continue?

There are more classes with issues and Operatives dont have issues as far as i know, even ur stealth is better.

There are so many balance problems it's rediculous only thing i hope for are fixes.(and fast)

Space Combat
General
Added two daily mission commendations to the high-level space dailies Operation Ascendant Pride (Imperial) and Operation New Eclipse (Republic).

I approve, incoming endgame space combat.

I think the nerfs of the OPs are a bit too much. I'm talking as a Pyro Merc that constantly dies from good-geared and skilled ones. They should've changed what they had, not made them useless.

We'll see how this works out.

[Gentlepenguin]

the numbers that person posted are exaggerated, in the low end. they said high armor, currently in tank spec/gear my damage reduction is 43%, on top of 11% expertise, i still take 5k crits from operatives. to get those numbers it'd be a 50% damage nerf.

operatives need defensive cds? yours are arguably better than the other stealth classes. absorb works on all types of damage and let's you do what you want 1v1, getting kited is unfortunately not an operative/smuggler only issue.

in the end you're being brought down with assassin/shadows, slightly higher, and sages/sorcs have been outdamaging us all along, just not in such huge bursts.

[Deleted]

the burst damage was totally op. It's really annoying to get killed without even having the possibility to escape and fight back. And yep, I'm playing a scoundrel.

The sustained damage, on the other hand, is still - meh.

nerf was inevitable, but this should be a workaround and not the final solution.

they need more survivaility, maybe another bleed-effect-dot and another ability to get the opponent into melee range.

by the way - where's the commando/merc nerf?

[gibbie99]

This is how things usually go. "My (horrifically OP) class is fine, LTP". "We nerfed OP class X because it was OP". OMG I quit!

It will be fine in the end.

[philefluxx]

Looks good, ty for the share.

[Deleted]

Commando/Merc nerf? Or what about sith warrior/jedi knight nerf? Or I guess its ok for them to crit 8k~ AOE...

[Hellfury]

FOTMs can go back to Sorc and Merc again I guess

[Deleted]

lol, imp agent nerfs finally
