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".

I think she should be patched and buffed up some. Yeah she's gay af originally and needs a dip in the other direction to even her out. I think they just nerfed her harder than a nerf herder but I think they'll patch her with a buff soon (hopefully they see these posts).

Also, people who say that her healing ignores blocking, obviously have not played with or against her. Her power has two effects: equalizing the health of all players, and healing. "Unable to be healed" is completely different from "unable to be equalized". Equalizing is not healing, because the health gained by some is lost by others. And when she or any other fighter cannot be healed, then the healing part of Barris's power doesn't work (I am 100% sure of this because I've seen it), as it is intended, but the equalizing part of her power is not affected. Sidious and others prevent enemies from being healed, not from being equalized.

^This and I for one who bought the pack don't want a refund. This game has great potential and it just got out. We bought more characters which they increased in stats. Players saying baris is nerfed to useless are wrong in first place. The nerf is her healing after equalizing effect and the passive heal as leader. The heal went down from 25% to 10%, thats all. Leader ability from 6% to 3% passive. I call this buyers remorse cause honestly did you all expect to still use baris after a week or 2 nerf or not? She was fine, she is now ok. The other characters in the same pack are great now.
I'm against the overuse of the nerfbat in general but as a pack buyer I say you guys are overreacting.
I was not going to use her for long pre patch anyway since she isn't top 5 material eventually. If you didn't see that coming than you obviously haven't been paying attention last few days about the metashift prepatch. Also makes you look more like a pay2winner than pay2win+skiller

Go flame me for this ^^

Bariss is now a gimmick, not a healer. Luminara is now by far the most powerful healer. If I'd known 5 days ago what I know now, I would not have bought the pack. That's why a refund is in order. If they can figure out how to return every training droid and equipment piece I've dumped into her, plus some compensation for lost time, I'd happily have them remove those characters and take my $50 back. As it seems clear they have no intention of making it right, I too will go through the play store and end up with some free useless toons and start going after Luminara.

Barris was only useful for her healing. Without it, they need to compensate by making her attack infinitely stronger. They have not balanced the toon, they have nerfed it hard, to the point of making her completely useless. CG must compensate those people who paid for her. Begging people to never spend again on their game doesn't sound like an effective way of doing business.

Removed violates TOS.

@Geddre compensation for lost time? Gaming is about losing time, consider it prolonging replayability.
Be glad they listen to people cause without it the game cant develop.
If you play world of warcraft or any game and buy every expansion + pay a monthly subscription, developer changes classes every now and then, still think you get your money back?

Next thing happening is people yell to give money back because they bought crystals which they used to gear a toon. Next day toon gets nerfed to improve gameplay (just like every other rpg) and you want to be compensated?

As I have written several times I am pretty annoyed about this excessive and unnecessary nerf. That said I probably will not ask for a refund. Barris and Asajj have had a major impact on my game play over the last three weeks. Also anyone who thinks that barris is now useless is basically saying they have no idea how to run galactic wars.

Actually the only reason I am even tempted to ask for a refund is that I am sure this is the only way I could express my annoyance in a way that the company will actually care about. I probably still won't.

you can get refunds for crystals bought to power up bariss. Any money spent on her can be refunded

They just introduced brand new characters and increased the power of countering Jedi, I don't think the Nerf was needed.

We hear all of your concerns about Barriss Offee and are having conversations about this at Capital Games. We will have an official response on this situation by tomorrow.

I will be locking this thread now and ask that you do not create new threads about this topic.
