So we've heard diddly squat from the devs about what they have planned for re-working Zombie. I have her G12 right now, and I don't regret it.
However...if Zombie's rework makes it so that it's no longer advantageous for her to die, I'm going to be extremely ticked off. I currently have three zetas invested in a NS strategy that involves Zombie having low health and/or dying a lot. I know we're getting Daka's back, but Ventress L and Talzin unique also pertain to this strategy is well.
I still don't understand why this even needs a rework in the first place. Zombie was released a year ago, everyone is familiar with her, and no one saw this coming?
Anyways, I'm randomly feeling nervous about this, and would like to share my concerns with the devs, hence this post.

Sorry to hear you're feeling nervous. Please don't. :smile:

Zombie changes are still forthcoming, but we're (still) angling for a late/end of September release of the changes. The proposed changes from the design team look good (to me at least). That said, we're still doing some edge case testing and making sure that there's not something we're not thinking of.

We've got some other good stuff planned this month, so please just hang on and we'll share the proposed changes as soon as we can. Hope this helped!

This is the problem I have work you guys at CG. You come in, be vague as possible, and never come back to your own forums. Go to Reddit and it's a whole different story. Unless it's changing Nightsister Acolyte back to the way she was it's not a good change. There's an entire thread of people calling you out on your bogus statement about how she's still good, and the Nightsisters are still viable in PvP, but none of that is true. You guys are making terrible decisions to change characters instead of your **** raid, that no one likes doing. Look at the thread with over 50+ pages of feedback. Which by the way, took 50 pages to get a vague response from you @CG_TopHat Why bother having a link to your own forums in the game when you guys spend all your time on Reddit communicating there instead of here? You have people who are "Moderators" but spend more time editing posts and banning people than they do trying to get someone on here to clarification.

I quite like the HSTR now actually. Once I focused on teams for it and got the mods right (after lots of effort) it was great to see the scores go in to the millions. Add to that my guild all did the same so we could actually beat the thing and now I find it enjoyable. Frustrating at times, sure, but to say that nobody likes doing it is a bit eccentric. I have mixed feelings about the various reworks/nerfs/adjustments they've made to certain toons/teams/strategies - the one with Treya was just blatantly unfair to everyone who didn't have her and allowed the top few players in a guild to dominate every raid, so I'm glad that got stopped. The STH one I wasn't so happy about as I felt that should have been picked up in testing before the raid was released. The fact is, nobody knows what they're going to do with zombie yet, but I agree that there should always be an incentive to gear up a toon. Let's just collectively calm our **** and see what happens rather than over the top reactions to things that haven't happened yet!
