It is outrageous to sell a powerful character at a premium price and then nerf her to oblivion once you've collected the money.Is there any prospect or refunds from Google or Apple?I was going to buy the Force Awakens pack for £80 but I don't think I'll bother now as clearly if the characters turn out to be string they'll just be obliterated in a months time.

Basically when you sign up for any game you agree to a license where they have all rights and you have none. There is really no recourse here as far as I know.Barriss is still a useful character, and so is Asajj which came in the same package. The two of them have allowed me to win countless crystals in PvP and to advance in GW. So I don't regret buying the package, even though I still think the nerf is excessive and was done in poor taste (and stupid timing since it removed any interest I had in the new pack).

Yeah I'm spitting angry haha! I only bought the Barriss pack recently and she's worthless already, even demoted from my GW team today! EA better have some form of compensation lined up because the whole thing is just thoughtless. They've lost their heads

She's still the best leader for GW by a mile IMO. I said that even when people were talking about her being not good enough for PvP before the nerf. GW is all about endurance and her passives are a lifesaver there.

I feel disappointed with nerf because its no even close to what u sold us for 50$!!!! Spent too much time and resources upgrading this character. I hope we get minumum 50% money back.This nerf sends clear message about future chatacter packs- dont get fooled and buy any!

This thread is golden. It warms my heart to hear the outraged cries and whines :)

That's a pretty substantial nerf to a unit that was in a $50 pack. No way in hell I'm paying for the $100 pack only for you to realize that Kylo Ren is OP as hell and nerf him to hell and back. Not happy.

If you think that is a nerf you have never played Marvel Puzzle Quest... There was a slight lessening of her healing to bring her on par with the other healers.. It is barely a nerf.. I say kudos to keeping things on a level playing field. She is still a must have.

You are wrong, sorry it is just as simple as that. She went from healing some of my characters about 2500-3000 down to around 600. That is not "barely a nerf".

The other healers though - JC, Lumi, etc. have much more damage to compensate. If she's being brought back to the pack in that respect, than she should get an offsetting damage boost. She was already one dimensional - weaken that one dimension and she's bringing nothing to the table. Lumi hits very hard and has a negative status effect on her special.

This is bullshit, I will never buy another pack until they fix this.... either change her back or give my money back, I just bought her pack 3 days ago and only bought it for Barriss....
