Clearly you guys know nothing about balance and the way this games is designed.
Tactical escort = Highest attack power / Low HP. high speed & turn rate.
Cruiser = High resist and hp. mid attack power. healing. 8 beam arrays
Science = Low HP, low attack power, High shields. healing.
Currently it's Cruisers = highest attack power, highest resists, highest HP, fastest Boff powers (A2B). If you can't see what's wrong with this, then you're just sad person.
Hopefully someone understands this. It's not that hard... Really...
This thread is about the bug causing faw, TS, and TBR not to crit.
Honestly though, while faw/a2b/apb/dem is a great dps build for cruisers, my ttk is much faster on my escort. I really think all this a2b and faw rage is a l2p issue for a lot of people; especially in PvP.
There are a few dozen other faw rage threads out there to post in about a2b. Can we try to keep this one about the actual topic? Regardless of your feelings about a2b, this bug affects anyone who uses faw.
Yeah I know what the thread is about. Try to say something a little more useful next time. I guess you missed the part about people whining that it will be 'escorts online' again. Guess you don't understand that some cruisers type ships do 20k+ DPS with FAW. This bug will decrease that a bit so I wont vaporize 20 NPC cruiser ships in 8 seconds in my cruiser. I'm sure that firepower belongs to dual heavy cannons.
THE BUG SHOULD STAY! IS THAT ON TOPIC ENOUGH FOR YOU?! :mad:
The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

You sound like a mage in the warlock forums post warlock Nerf.... Go away.
Also "decrease that a bit" by a bit you mean over half?
Just because you like cannons does not mean other people can't have nice things.
I have my cruiser at ~8k dps, with crits on faw. which is nice damage for STFs and enough to compensate randoms with ~1-2k dps
it's an assaultcruiser built for tanking (which is totally useless right now because even escorts can tank... but wayne). i don't use that a2b-TRIBBLE or whatever. just 2x tactical team1, faw 2+3 and eptw1. enough to keep aggro in most cases.
that means: i am not some a2b-fool who deals trillions of damage because noone needs that damage here. AND: i'm affected by this bug as well.
the problem with faw-boats dealing these trillions of damage is not faw nor the crits. it's a2b and its doffs. because with a2b these people don't need a 2nd faw so they can add something like apb to boost their damage. they have less cd on eptw so they can use it more often and get the extra damage (+10% damage on eptw1, guess it's more with eptw 2 or 3)

You sound mad.
Regardless, my point still stands. This is about a bug causing faw, ts, and tbr to not crit. If you're having a problem keeping up with cruisers in your escort in either PvP or PvE it's a l2p issue not a faw a2b issue.
At this point you're an obvious troll, but a poor one. Trolls shouldn't get mad.
Also something that affects almost every non escort ship build is not important enough to be on the known issues notes for the patch.
I was considering buying a lifetime sub but if the light on an ev suit is more important than game breaking issues I might reconsider that purchase.
With an issue of this scale reputable game companies would have emergency downtime to fix said issue. Not let it last two weeks and lock most threads talking about it.

Cheap shot. Mmmmm. Okay it's like that...
At this point I don't care about your point or what you think I am. I didn't ask you to respond to me in the first place. You're a sad human being. That's just what I think since you have to result to name calling now. A "troll" how original... I must have really pissed you off for disagreeing with you. Guess what? I still disagree. In life people disagree. Deal with it. :cool: Don't bother responding anymore. No need to. You never post anything useful to anyone. I'm trying to balance the game, not leave it broken.
Obviously you can't play the game like normal people. I bet you want mechanics like aux to battery to stay. You suck in a cruiser so bad-- you support any exploit you find. TRIBBLE game balance huh? As long you can press space bar and 50 ships die in 15 seconds, you're happy. FAW bug slowed you down, now you want it fixed. That's all it is. Hopefully they don't fix it so you can learn how to play like real players. I know your type. You can't hide it. I PVP & PVE all day.
Fix FAW for escorts, leave it 'broken' for cruisers, or just remove A2B from the game then fix FAW. Best possible outcomes. I favor balance over any whiny, loser noobs who rely on broken mechanics. Anyone with logic will favor game balance. That's all. Over and out.

By your response you do care what people think. You are also posting in an online public forum. In its nature a forum is for discussion and you have no right to tell people that they can or can not reply to you.
You obviously have a bias toward escort/cannon builds and make no attempt to hide it. You were called a troll because of how outrageous your proposed idea is. At this point I think you might actually be serious and am glad you are not a game designer.
After you are called a troll you go as far as verbally attacking your accuser"a sad human being." and "never posted anything useful", then spout a bunch of jibberish about how he is probably a bad player.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and can agree or disagree as long as they agree with you right?
I'm no mod but I hate seeing toxic players like you treat people this way and I won't be quiet about it.
And to stay on topic. Bugs are bad. Fix them and stuff.

You hit the nail on the head; no further response needed in regards to his posts. Thank you.
This issue not only affects my faw/a2b cruiser, but my sci toon in my max aux vesta that runs faw and tbr.....both affected by this bug.
At this point I'm only logging in to doff and run the sphere daily. It looks like I'll actually be logging into swtor.
It would really be nice to see another Dev comment about why a fix hasn't been pushed yet. Especially considering a fix was already internally working.
I also run a beam Vesta with a sci captain (not A2B--not that it really matters) and I hope this gets fixed soon. I've taken about a 2k DPS haircut, and it negatively impacts special powers like the tier 4 Romulan reputation power (i.e. Sensor Targeting Assault).
What about Torp spread not criting? My romulan with 18% critH is not getting crits of late - seems they are addressing the FAW crit problem but no news of Torp spread crits?
Of course I have not done extensive testing and could just be going through a statistical unlucky streak.

Now you're just going totally overboard. So silly.
Thing of it is, he (she?) is still right: this thread is about the CrtH of FAW being broken: it's not about your personal gripes with A2B.
Here I outright LOL-ed @ 'Fix FAW for escorts, leave it broken for cruisers.' Cuz, yeah, that's what this game needs: more power to escorts! /sarcasm
I LOL-ed again. You realize you're talking about yourself, right?! FAW = broken, you want to profit. Haha. Too funny.
N.B. I removed your coloring: you're not a 'special snowflake,' just a flake.
I hope they do a push...

Yeah, it would be nice to get it fixed for the Thanksgiving weekend. *Sigh* Not worth getting too upset over.
I doubt it. I don't know how Cryptic handles scheduling, but I'd guess a lot of their people will be home enjoying the holiday (as they should).
Of course I have not done extensive testing and could just be going through a statistical unlucky streak.
Actually all boff skills that weren't getting crits will be fixed
Bfaw was just the example used as you can see
