Wait, Hidden Strike with the Jarring Strikes talent isn't triggering a full resolve bar anymore?
:lol
What happened to Wendi anyways? Haven't seen any rants or raves the past few days.

Besides making the KO fill up the resolve bar I don't know what other nerf they would need. Their damage seems to be inline with other classes based on the stream and what I've read online.
Be interesting to see how the acid blade nerf effects pve since that was a big concern on the official boards.

Well, I was hoping that this:
Was talking about the issue where mouse bindings don't work if your mouse is hovering over the wrong part of the screen. But I just tested it, and that bug is still there

I was actually being facetious. My point being that using the blog as an example of their poor communication is silly since they have a much better form of communication that allows you to interact directly with the developers.That big section when you enter the forums has the 3 latest dev blog posts

I'm guessing you're trying it on the test server since the patch isn't out until tonight?Well, I was hoping that this:

I am pretty sure there was a patch this morning (1.1.1). Anyway, the game seems to get worst for me. While frame rate is better, I get random crash (happen since saturday patch) and now just like someone post eariler a stutter every so often.
It's becoming really annoying. The game just crash and I am too lazy to go get my authenticator to restart ...

Yea I thought it just went live overnight? That's why the servers were down for 4-5 hours last night.

Huh...for some reason I thought the maintenance time was tonight.
After today's maint my game freezes randomly for a couple seconds.
The weirdest thing is that while the game/ui freezes, the sound doesn't (so my droid's lines go on as if nothing happened) and the mouse pointer doesn't freeze either, so I can move it around, but everything else is frozen for those important seconds, which really sucks, especially during fights.
Happened to anyone else?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
It's prime time in Europe right now, isn't it? Looking at the server status at the moment about half are standard, the rest are heavy, very heavy or full. There are no light servers. Seems the EU servers are busier than the NA servers so I'm not sure what's disheartening.
I'm not sure exactly what "prime time" means, but I think s/he was talking about the servers being down for maintenance during regular playing hours in the EU as opposed to 3 AM in NA.
I don't think s/he was talking about population.
Don't worry. They'll remove it from the patch notes later and pretend it never happened. Like how they "fixed companion quests".

Do they actually have anyone on the PTR that test any of this?

How? Nobody is going to level up a character to 50 in 2 days just to test something.

I don't think so, the sentence before the one I quoted was about server merges so I'm pretty sure he was talking about server populations.
Prime time is between 8-11PM, when people are home from work. Patches happen during the morning and early afternoon in EU, that's not prime time, most people are at work. I'm sure it affects some people but I tend to play late at night so the 3am patches affect me and for people on the west coast that's only midnight which is still a busy time, but that's life. Someone is always going to want to be playing during the time the servers are down.

They wipe the characters each time on the ptr?
Shouldn't need 50's to test the warzone fix stuff either.
cpp_is_king

Oh I see. Glad I made note because I was totally wrong about what "Prime Time" was.
I thought s/he was talking about 8 hour maintenance and stuff. I fail at reading I guess.
They need to get pre-made 50's in there for proper testing. Sooner rather than later.

Need the SWG blue frogs on the TOR PTR. Don't see though how the patch that was there for almost two weeks and no one noticed these things that apparently didnt get fixed
There is almost no point to the PTS without premades/character copy

Wow sounds like Hidden Strike either got a stealth buff or is bugged. Been hearing that while it only stuns for 1.5 sec now, it only fills half your resolve bar and can be chained with their 4 second stun. So don't waste your CC breaker on the first stun, wait for the 2nd

You seldom should be wasting your CC breaker unless you have a full resolve bar anyway. Since you'd probably just go right back into CC and even though that one CC filled it up, it doesn't break it.
Nothing like sitting in CC for the full duration with a full resolve bar!
Someone posted a link for a discussion about this longer stun thing some pages back. No one seemed to care.

Man all this talk about nerfs and what not kinda makes me wanna roll an op....
Are they any fun leveling up though? Almost done with a guardian, so it should only get better from here.... right?

Really? I saw a stream yesterday or the day before where someone was a War Hero (rank 70+)
Damn, I just hit Level 29. Does the game even have anything to do for Lvl 70 or is it just doing the same Operations/Flashpoints, etc?

70 refers to the valor rank (gained from pvp), not the actual character level (50). Besides getting a chance at better gear when at valor 60, there's no new content unlocked from getting more valor.
Not really. Republic takes their ball and goes home on kellers void. Illum is empty half the time.

While I don't think the nerfs are super bad, I don't think one person's ability to play the class is clear indication that the class is fine and a lol @ people complaining about nerfs is warranted.
As an example, I've played WoW since inception and I've rolled Hunter and rogue as my mains. I used my hunter when their 31 talent in survival was lacerate which sucked (a very small nonstacking bleed dot that did 300ish damage altogether). Our DPS was pretty broken too, but I personally was in the top 3 for my guild. I wouldn't want anyone to use me as measurement to say the class ok when at the time it was utterly broken.
Man, Lacerate was just...
Once you wrap your head around the taking cover mechanics, and then once you turn into an OP, you can have a real blast. From all the classes I've played so far it is by far the most fleshed out and fun class to play, and actually feels unique from standard MMO counterparts since it's got several ways to be played along with the cover mechanics I mentioned.
Do iiiiiit.

I haven't had any of the performance issues people have been bitching about until this patch. Now everything is fucked.
It takes 3-4x as long at loading screens now, I get that weird pause every 5 seconds or so, and the game crashed once already.
If it crashes again I won't play again until a new patch. The pausing shit alone is going to make PvP impossible until they fix it.

I have seen the ability
I have put it on my Shortcut Bar...
But I almost never use it.
If this is supposed to be an improvement for me to tank it isn't much of one.
It is very good to get away if things get bad tho, and will help with that.
Then again, I don't do PvP yet, so I may change my mind about it later
In pvp you will use it. Its gets used on me aaaaaaaalllllll the time.

hey guys, new-ish to TOR, rolled on KV, how should I go about getting invited to The Gaf Empire? Is there an officer here I should PM? The link in the OT is broken and I'm not sure who to contact.

No, they don't wipe the PTR characters. However, they warn that the possibility that they may need to is there.
It's basically the same as SWG's TestCenter was before the blue frogs were implemented (and ruined the TestCenter community).
If you want the changes tested better by the community, go play on PTR.
