@Peempo - Yes, those are among the characters we're reviewing. We're looking at each of the most commonly-discussed heroes.

You're reviewing heroes based on the traffic regarding them on the forum?

So everyone's favourite which everyone will talk about will be reviewed but a lesser talked about hero will not be?

Everyone is harping on about Resistance Pilot, but Resistance Trooper was nerfed by exactly the same amount as him yet no one will talk about him. Does this make him less likely for a buff simply due to the fact that he is spoken about less?

This is absolutely ridiculous. You completely decimated a very large percentage of the characters and have decided to undo said damage one hero at a time based on the chatter regarding said character?

What a silly way to respond to an update that was massively screwed up from the get go.

@GC_JohnSalera I think it's cool that you called out FOTP and Ani as toons you are looking into but can you confirm that all characters are being looked into. How abouth Maul and Kit? Can you make them usable? The point is that people are coming here clamoring for you to have nerfs reversed but if you just "fix" a couple of toons you are aren't really fixing anything. FOTP and Ani even post nerf are still in a better position than many other characters. Should they be looked at? Sure. Should about 15-20 others also be looked at? Absolutely.

What about chromium only heroes? They were nerfed just as bad as others but you will hear far less chatter about them because far less people have them.

Will Cad Bane ever get the buff he deserves if we don't make a few hundred posts whining about how useless he is?

good to hear, cant wait for gw to be less a time sink

I am hoping John's post was meant in general terms. But I do also hope they take a look at the chromium toons because that shit's expensive and the people that max them out basically allows the game to keep running for all of the FTP guys.

Thanks @CG_JohnSalera ! I have to say this is exactly what gives me and others peace of mind. Road maps and setting expectations is what we all want and you guys have been doing a great job at that as of late!

I whole-heartedly agree. I understand the frustration we as players feel when a useful character gets nerfed--especially one that has taken forever to farm--but in my eyes, that's part of the gaming experience. To learn to adapt and figure out a new team comp as the meta evolves. That being said, there is a difference (in my mind) between a blueprint and a road map. As @SNAKEMAN said, a road map is a great idea and much appreciated, whereas a blueprint would be knowing every single little change the devs are going to make, and that would take the fun out of things IMO.

Agreed, I bet we see even more spam now by people wanting their personal favorite character looked at.

'We're looking at each of the most commonly-discussed heroes.'

It doesn't get much clearer than that.

If a character like Resistance Trooper just got a massive nerf and no one says a word then he won't be buffed.

If a character like Anakin just got a massive nerf and everyone complains about it he will be reviewed, and possibly receive a buff.

Postponing the combat tuning but not the guilds and raids was a very, very bad decision by management. Since the update they would have had to divert all energy to testing the new battle modes instead of continuing to test the combat tuning. Because obviously they didn't do it right the first time.

Once they finally get that right they should have then moved onto creation and testing of guilds.

Note: this is coming from someone who has desperately wanted guilds and raids since I first started playing.

What we will have now is a poorly implemented guild & raid system and a poorly conceived combat tuning update.

They will have to scramble to fix both at the same time instead of tackling the issues individually.

The fact that damage nerfs and protection and armour meaning more all at the same time was bad enough, but add all of the work on guilds they have to do as well and that will create a very unproductive workplace.

Good luck seeing anything good come out of CG HQ for the next month.

Dooku seems way overpowered now. His counter attacks and bonus attacks seem to exceed the percentages. After the update, it almost seems a requirement to use dooku, the emperor, and phasma in the squad arena. I don't feel like the update balanced anything. My squad seems to have been depowered by the update. I cannot finish battles from which I had previously won three stars. I may stop playing the game.

Agreed. And Add Diooku to the mix with GS or Rey or QGJ and you have 90% of arena teams

I'm sure they have analytics to look at group make ups, so they will know this isn't entirely accurate. The guy you are agreeing with said his emperor was nerfed. Emperor isn't playable, darth sidious is, but he has been weak for quite some time as tenacity has gone up, and yoda joined the fray.
