Hey Everyone, It’s been a while since I’ve posted a message to you all that is directly from me, one that isn’t patch notes :) I know that a number of you are upset with the latest series of upd...

Adding new content to this game has to happen or people will get distressed understandably and you know this better than anyone from the constent nagging.
Raids was good cause it wasn't an update that effected the balance of the game.
Applying mods to the characters in this game and to make them fair across the board is to have the characters even before you start throwing stats around randomly.
Your team did talked about balancing the game, like alot. Remember slower toons were supposed to do more damage, faster less damage. Protection stat was instated, probably cause it was a hell of a lot easier, but it was a temporary fix.
It's impossible to balance a game with mods when the base structure is already flawed.
Min and max base stats:
Min health - max health
Min damage - max damage
Min speed - max speed
But don't make those margins so far apart like you have. Rey base damage, speed, health and Barriss base damage, speed, health are world's apart. So far apart that people won't use charcters that far off the spectrum. Tighten those margins and let their abilities make them the choice for the occasion.
I understand this might mean a huge over haul, or maybe not. But if you guys could nail this. Then adding the mods and throwing around those stats wouldnt be as flagrant.
This would mean yes toning down the Rey, QGJ, GS, some droids and clones, etc. Sure luminari cause she hits to hard for a healer.
Controllers should have high potency
Healers high defense
Defense has been a no show since you launched and is still the most useless stat. Would be easier to implicate if you margins were closer together.
World leader abilities should not give double rewards like forcing an opponent to blow a special ability, and then also reward the dodge with TM or offensive up (Dooku, Old Ben). It's too strong to not be faction only. Give those double rewards to a faction team to help the lesser toons become a bit more relevant.
There is a ton of work here i know but the reward will be something amazing in the end.
Unfortunately, I have put the game down for reasons listed above. And for the record you guys have done some Amazing things here that I am proud of. Mods i dont think would have hurt the game as much if a balance was reached before hand and could/will be a great thing for this game.
May the force be with you, always :smile:
