with a community this big, we do play test this game more in 1 day then they can in certain periods of time.

So you're telling me CG didn't think about doing an open beta test on the Sith raid like they did with TW?

They needed numbers to push out TW and test it at somewhat near its limits, for both the server handling and the event.

Raids dont require numbers to do testing. They missed one, considering all the mechanics at work, I'm not happy but I think that's not so bad.

The only odd part is that the one they missed also just happens to be the log-in character the same month the raid is released. You don't find that even a little bit...odd?

I believe in coincidence - but when EA is involved, they just seem to be very strange coincidences.

I gotta commend you. Your unyielding defense of CG is amazing.

in all honesty, I dont defend them. I just have a different perspective on the issues at hand.

This particular issue, i see as not being good for the game. To trivialize a brand new raid in the first week of its existence is not good for the long term playability of the raid. I dont mind catching flak for my opinions, which is why i'm ok doing what i do here.

The long term plan for this game means a few things have to happen, and the 2 main themes are, the company makes money (i know everyone is shocked by that ever day.) the second is people come back and play. <--- i feel many people have different ideas of how to make this possible, but making new content beatable by everyone within the first week is not a good idea. if things are too easy or come too quick players will leave.

now the expectation of what "too easy" or "too quick" can be debated until the cows come home to roost. but i think i'm mixing up my metaphors.

I dont need to defend them because i dont think they are doing some thing "wrong" they are trying to make the game more playable and have long term strategy and goals, that is what i think will help bring people back to the game. the majority of the player base wouldn't still be here if it was quick and easy.

Just a quick question. I am very curious as to what the issue is that is being fixed.

Is ST Han providing more TM than he should be?

Is Traya dealing damage more often than she should be?

I would like to avoid being a participant in any future unintended exploits.

No

Just "looping" more than intended according to Kyno

not according to me. I dont make any of this happen.

rather than hotfixing han, they should hotfix traya, where rather than dealing damage every time an action is taken, only deal damage when an ally grants a buff to any other ally. the problem is that even using basics cause damage isn't it?

They called it an unintended interaction, so they haven't quite clarified what the change will be. I dont think they are going to change STH, but i could be wrong.

Edit, sorry i guess they do say more TM. I think they are referring to how many times it can be repeated, not the actual amount of TM. I am hoping they will clarify more in the update

His ability says everytime he is damaged, that’s why I think that he is being damaged more times than he should be.

@Kyno
Fixed

Traya deals damage everytime someone uses a special ability and that damage can't defeat them. And that damage is feeding 20% turnmeter to all Hans friends when he is taunting

yeah and that makes sense @AnnerDoon and he grants TM everytime he takes Damage so isn’t that how ST Han is supposed to work?

They could change Bonds of Weakness to be able to kill a toon, not just bring them to 1%.
