Surprise! Turn meter reduction now resistable.
I love reading about every meta shifting change the devs "forgot" to mention.

Edit: In this thread you're going to find people who say something along the lines of "oh shoulda diversified" or "oh Poe was strong and deserved a nerf". This completely misses the point.
Of course balance changes happen in a PvP game. This is so painfully obvious, but people continue to parrot this platitude as if it is making a relevant point.
In fact, it was the recognition of the fact that balance changes happen which led people to wait until the patch notes were released. t.
The outrage is NOT over whether or not Poe should have been nerfed (people in this thread only focus on this point). In fact, most everyone DOES believe he should have been nerfed.
That outrage is that the patch notes misled people into malinvestment.
Any criticism that does not acknowledge this point is completely moot.
It had a chance to affect the enemies. This is the same but now each enemy that it lands on can resist it.
J7000, are you a dev or anoaid poster? Everytime someone that had abgood char and now has the "rebel scum" ( in sw movie lingo quote) garbage that poe you appear to say nothing happened?
Speed
Poe before: top 6 char would RNG among 5 turn 7 chars.
Poe after: can go after 17 other chars guaranteed
Expose:
Before: 2-5 chars
Now: 1-2
Time meter:
Before: 100% effective. All enemy allies
Now: 40% effective. Resists often
HP: -444
Tenacity:
Before: 95% protecrion... would not apply and would heal
Now: 40% protection from Tenacity
Worst char ever along with Chewy and all the other chars that are guaranteed fail.
The only difference between Poe and a factory garbage char, is that Poe wasn't born useless, and wasn't nerfed. It was condemned to 5 days in Jail and while in prison and nobody looking
he was ritually murdered by the devs.
Huge damage to the new SW franchise when you make a new char that will feature in the next two movies murdered by devs that have no clue about SW at all.
He asked a question. I flaked out as I was actually thinking of expose not turn meter. And mixing the two up in my mind. The turn meter Nerf is totally new to me. Because I'm half exhausted just wasn't registering.
I haven't ever said Poe wasn't nerfed. But again I just realized the new issue. Turn meter resist. My bad. I would have to agree that after everything else they did. This is totally unnecessary and will effect not only him.. Think of the snow trooper lol
Not a dev here either. They are smarter and nicer than me.
Yes, it is. A dev confirmed on reddit.
Ok. No problem. For a sec I though you were a robot or the son of the dev that created QGJ.
Thanks for feeling some pity for the poor Poe. Short lived fame. A one time hit singer gone to disgrace. He should be remembered by friends and foes.
Here's the reddit:

But the nerf monsters don't realize they are calling for their own heads.
We all share the same characters!
Get your act together.
They like it best that way...
I think that confirming an ADDITIONAL submarine nerf not on the official forum but on reddit is just the golden seal in the package of the cake that has icing on top, and now comes with 6 cherries and dark chocolate on the side, delivered by Megan Fox house to house. It's the perfect most complete slap in the face a Poe customer could have expect.
But I disgress. I think Poe's taunt itself should be resistable, and even then he is still a bit OP, so to add to the High Risk, should he fail to Taunt he should remove his OWN ALLIES turn meter and Apply a dot to each friendly ally. Make it two if the Ally is Resistance (to account for synergies)
Anybody else has any idea? I think EACH and EVERY idea discussed in 20 pages about Poe "balancing" and how to destroy Poe a little bit got applied including a few creative ideas by our highly creative devs.
Kudos to the Dark Force at CG! It runs strong :-)
You're new to this aren't you?
Well yes but this trend is obvious and not fair at all. Just trying to share my point of view with others. More we know then less potential disappointments.
I'm fine with bug fixes, but I hate nerfs, and this one is as redicueless as the barriss nerf, if not more, since the main reason he became so powerfull, was a fundementel error in speed
Balancing is done so people can have a wide variety of teams and try different combos, not a marketing scheme. It wouldn't be fun playing this game if Poe wasn't touched and everyone was using him would it? Sometime devs overestimate things and new characters end up being extremely powerful. Things need changing.
I knew Poe was overpowered, everyone did. I knew he was going to get nerfed so I held out on starring him.
If someone seem overpowered they probably are and will get a nerf.
