For those angry about the "Silent" Poe nerf...
This was said by a forum monitor in February 4th, 6 days ago. In the Poe Dameron Balancing forum, he said "We will continue to monitor how Poe performs in squads after the update, and if needed we will make additional changes."
So you can stop complaining about how this change was unexpected or had no warning of being added.
Poe was arguably agreed as being too good of a character, and many wanted him to be nerfed. If you believe he has been too drastically reduced in effectiveness, that's fine, speak your opinion. Just how the community had an influence in him being nerfed, we can also perhaps persuade the devs for further change until he is "well balanced". But making accusations about the developers, them being liars, or being deceitful, won't make the game any better.

Except your entire post does NOT apply at all because the post that YOU quote says
"AFTER THE UPDATE"
Meaning they would WAIT UNTIL THE UPDATE AND MAKE CHANGES AFTER MONITORING
Bad post 0/10
The Poe nerf was like a fart, silent but deadly.
Which side are YOU on?
This should totally be a recruitment poster for someone.
Lol!
Go to the "Speed Changes and Poe" forum, it should be near the top.
Poe received some additional changes that were not said in the main update forum. His speed was reduced by 1, and he received other slight nerfs, less health, etc.
People are being way too toxic about this change, mostly because they believe it was unexpected, which actually wasn't, hence my post.
You forgot to mention that, before buying the car, the salesman clearly told me that they can change, add or remove anything about my car as they wish when ever they want. Cause that's how it is for video games.
It's pretty much in every games ToS that the developers have full control of their game, and can potentially change anything about it at any time. So you have to know that everytime you buy additional content from games, they are always at risk of being changed. Fortunately for the consumer, most companies try to satisfy their customers and won't do any unneeded change to their game that makes theme unhappy.
So if you do not like how Poe currently is, then voice your opinion. If he is in fact still unbalanced, then the majority of the forum community will agree, and theirs always the possibility that the devs will make further changes to him. If they don't, then customers walk out.
Honestly you need to reread the thread to realize that they changed how speed works in general. Even with 143 speed, poe would go after leia, dooku, sid, GS, ST HAN (ackbar lead), QGJ lead. The only characters that poe is slower than now with 142 is only rey and hoth scout. So please stop these annoying poe nerf threads. If you want to talk about poe's changes, feel free to post under Jesse's thread about it. This is honestly just cluttering the forums
You are forgetting that these are the "free" customers that came in for the air freshener - NOT the car, that are complaining.
This isn't a Poe nerf thread. This is a thread to basically ask people to withhold themselves from being toxic. I give no opinion on how Poe works. Like I said, if people believe Poe is underpowered now, then they should openly disscus it. But that doesn't mean go off on the developers for trying to improve the game.
Not quite as sickening as reading your post.
Just read the lyrics, didn't really see any comparison to what I'm disscusing. The chorus is basically 50 cent making fun of people for being unable to buy items cause they're too poor. Window shopper, as in, you look through a stores window, at most, to "shop" because putting the full effort of actually going in and roaming through the items that are available would be pointless, because you are unable to afford anything inside. At least, that's what I got from it. All other lyrics are just about the generic life style of a rich rapper.
+1
The devs had two choices - nerf one character one speed point and some tenacity or buff every other character to obtain the same result.
So would your have been fine if they just added +1 speed and potency to every other character?
The reduced tenacity and reduced expose effectiveness would have been sufficient to make this character more balanced without removing it as a top tier hero.
Reducing Poe's speed by 1 makes him vulnerable to a whole variety of stun and status effects that previously were not fast enough to stop his taunt. Now many more heros can prevent Poe's taunt from being effective, even more so due to reduced tenacity.
Poe's max health was decent. It was reduced by a whopping 444. This is a huge loss for a tank character with taunt.
The combination of the above changes has resulted in Poe moving from a top tier character to a mid tier character. This does not represent balance. Poe obviously needed minor adjustments, but not this! His hp, speed and effects suggest he no longer should be classified as a tank at all!
Overall, I'm disappointed in the Poe changes.
The only ones complaining about the Poe nerf are the ones who invested time and MONEY on him. So pretty sure paying customers are the ones complaining. WHICH THEY HAVE FULL RIGHT TO DO SO, but most people who have been complaining so far has been extremely obnoxious while doing so.
You're one of the few people who actually argued the Poe nerf in a respectful way. Why can't everyone just do this!
I don't have Poe, so I can't really give an opinion about him. I only faced him twice in arena(before update), lost both times...
But everyone seems to be arguing your same point of view. So it does seem Poe may have been nerfed slightly too much. If enough people keep stating this opinion in the forums. It might make the devs reconsider +1 Poe's speed. But maybe a couple more days, a few more arena battles, should be given before making the complete assumption that Poe has been under balanced.
This wasn't a direct nerf. So many chicken littles. His speed was reduced by one from 143 to 142. This is borderline irrelevant considering the larger changes to how speed works.
What irritates me the most is that some people are asking for crystal refunds for crystals that were used to improve Poe. You were promised crystals with that purchase, and that is what you were given. What you do with them after is up to you. You're dissatisfied with the changes done to Poe, not with the quality of the crystals.
Cluttering it like nerf threads?
You get it. +10
