Just a thought. Based on population census; Keeping in mind with respec power tokens sold. Game direction and development. Precentage fraction of support roles actually being played and the trend patterns. I posed a question to the community. Would it even be considered a lost in profit or time if the developers backtrack on those announced powers and made them all dps only powers, or even announce a dps only power? I say that to say support role players are usually accustomed to waiting a particular time frame before they switch powers and I;m not sure we are the demographic target for the tokens. Plus those classes haven't had anything done to them since beta. While the dps........ Truthfully would it be economically feasible and wise if they just did a 180 and did that? Would the community even feel a sting or a pinch while at it?
i don't think so because there are some players out there that enjoy playing support roles. Which means SOE would loose money on them...
k and looking at that, how often do support roles switch to other support role powers. Most of the time, trolls stick to troll powers sets, tank to tank and healer to healer right? how often do these switches occur? I'm sure support don't provide that much revenue, or minuscule in comparion. The idea of a full on dps class does seem interesting. Keep in mind you also said some. I would love to see the percentages of player base to role.
three of my toons are allready waiting for the switch. but there are more of those "some" that play both dps and support. and what to do with all those armories...
I don't see what the point is here. All powers ARE already DPS now. How would taking away the actual role be of any benefit?
Yeah that just sounds stupid like there is no benefit except more dps that suck and are not team player that can play something other than a dps
/\ idd the games already flooded with useless players who will only play dps and then play it badly ...the amount of times I outdps people as a tank is worrying already .
A power that just had dps as and option would get boring after awhile because you only did one thing. it would also be left out of some group content because there may be need for a Tank, Healer or Troll in certain situations but they couldn't switch like the other powers.
