Bounty Hunters

I'm not going to attempt to balance the karmic scales here. I give ya'll an awful lot of flack over what you do wrong. Anyone who's followed me knows I'm hardly a sycophant, so I'm not saying this lightly but you do deserve to hear it from someone who's given you a lot of grief lately.

Regarding the Hunter reworks, and the insertion of Bossk who I'd been asking for since Day One --- I'm satisfied. Very satisfied. I detest PvP and spend as little time as I can there, which Scuba can testify towards...though occasionally I will battle up and hang.

Mostly though I enjoy the game because of how it lets me interact with my guild.

Lately, there has been altogether too little in the way of things I enjoyed about this game and wasting time in it, but the Hunters have completely reinvigorated my PvE enjoyment.

I'm waiting with bated breath for a nerf. Bossk in particular does tremendous things so I'm leery as that you'll let me keep him as is, but he's fun. He reminds me of the Clones under Cody back in the day.

Contracts are fun and bring about another layer of strategy, and once fulfilled the Hunters are unleashed -- precisely like they should be.

Which is another reason I'm waiting for them to be nerfed. I don't expect to keep nice, fun things here.

But in the meantime -- I want to say this: I'm having a blast for the first time in months. I'm actually theorycrafting again. I haven't done that since the Tank Raid launched. I couldn't be bothered with Sith because I was going through the motions...but now I'm looking at how and where best to use them.

Well done. I'm stoked for the inevitable (please not another 3 years) second pass with Cad and Zam reworked. I've been using Zam and the bombers since she was released, and I've enjoyed finding how to mix her into the new reworks.

From someone who doesn't say thank you often -- thank you. You have, however temporarily, reignited a passion for the game that I thought forever lost.

  • Zam and Cad will get reworked. There's been some good feedback in this thread I'm optimistic they'll look at and take to heart. Maybe. Hopefully. I'm not naive, I promise.

    I do agree about Zam always being useful, though. It's just that before, there were only a handful of us with geared Hunter teams even experimenting with bomb squads to even notice how fun she was.

    The nerf to TD % really, really hurt her though. She's still useful and still fits into the new hunter teams...but her damage output has fallen through the floor.

    Detonators didn't get changed, only Expose got changed, and only in raids.
  • Huh, I could have sworn that it was all percentage-based damage but I can't seem to find the language to back that up.

    Nah, easy enough mistake to make. It certainly doesn't help that there were a bunch of people SAYING that all percent damage effects had been changed right after the expose change went into effect.

    I still think detonators should be dodgeable or resistable, but not both, and more characters need to interact with them (jawas and bounty hunters). But other than that, I think they're about right.
  • Actually i dont mind having a bitch about this game when stupid things are added, and there are parts of this game i despise and think are the worst thing to happen to the game (SIT Etc.), i guess they tried to be innovative and in my opinion it failed miserably, but lets leave that for another thread (all you special people that just love to say something feel free to resist ) ;).

    However, they also tried to be innovative on the BH team, and again its just my opinion that it really was innovative and added a superb new technique to the game, I dont have a great BH team but they have captured my imagination and have added a whole new area to concentrate on, to the game, they can only get better if or when Cad & Zam get reworked.

    Well done Devs
