This functionality is already in game. In your inventory or container, click “Change View” at the bottom of the window. From there you can sort by Name, Type, and Volume. Simply click the title box for the category you want, and it will sort A-Z. Click it again and it will reverse the order to Z-A. Orton Evolve Community Manager

you could add another dialog box after the sell all button is pressed that shows a list of all the items that you are about to sell, that should eliminate the problem of people selling stuff they need and needing a csr

This is very much similar to what @Cailener1234 is working on. We have a Jedi tree revamp coming sometime after the launch of Chapter 6. Historical reactions: Like × 1

Yatoya, post: 4476, member: 1107 wrote: This is not the first thread making suggestions to change up Swordsman as of recent. Issues existing presently with Swordsman. Its the go to class for completing harder content like Revanite Daily Challenge because it provides Flurry (easy access) which is presently 20% damage decrease debuff to targets (TC is set to change it to 10%). Swordsman hits hard because we got stronger weapons with Kashyyyk Content, 2 speed weapons, they hit slower but harder. Melee as a class hits harder then Ranged and with recent understanding of this more of the player base are switching to Melee and especially to Swordsman with its defensive debuff Flurry. I happened to join a Battlefields recently and I believe over 1/2 were slated for Swordsman. Swordsman is creating a less diverse player builds. Why I say Flurry should not get nerfed to 10%. Flurry is one of the tools I use to tank Elite Blackscale Captains, as is they hit hard even with a 20% debuff, there going to hit harder with 10% debuff. I stack very heavy for damage reduction and debuffs against these and still I go down. If the issue is strictly that Flurry is to powerful in PVP nerf it for PVP, but please not for PVE content. Granted we are going to get new 3-Piece Jewelry Sets which one of them will provide 5% damage decrease received. Why Flurry should get moved. Teras Kasi has long been a strong defensive class in SWG going back to Pre-CU. Flurry is a defense ability (presently a very powerful one) and is only readily available to one class of characters Swordsman. This causes players to focus on only one class for melee. If it was moved to Teras Kasi Artist and required to Master Teras Kasi before being obtained (possibly to the left of Master), this would fall well inline with Bounty Hunter and its defensive ability Shields. Place Flurry into a defensive class (Teras Kasi Artist) and make it expensive to obtain It would also shift melee players out of Swordsman and into other melee classes. I understand that Melee hits hard and moving Flurry to an already powerful class would make the class overpowered. Why Melee Damage in Teras Kasi Artist should get nerfed. With the above suggested change to Flurry being moved to Teras Kasi Artist I believe that Melee Damage from Teras Kasi Artist should be nerfed. With as high as Melee can presently stack Melee Damage it should be nerfed. Comparison between my Ranged Assassin Build (Rifles) and my Melee Assassin Build (Swordsman) almost exactly same build style. Rifleman was roughly 10-18k DPS (adjusted to Commando instead of Teras Kasi Artist for alternative defense results in a 2-3k DPS uplift granting it 12-21k DPS), and Swordsman was roughly 20-28k DPS. That is a very large gap in DPS. Its about a 7-9k DPS gap. On TC we are looking at present a general 3-Piece Jewelry set that will give 5% Ranged/Melee Damage increase (melee gets more with Strength). Ranged is getting a 3-Piece set more specific that will give 16% Ranged Damage with boost to Critical Damage (this will help close the gap between melee and ranged damage). Nerfing Melee Damage will reduce the gap between Ranged Damage and Melee Damage providing more variety of viable Ranged Classes. Melee Damage Increase in the Teras Kasi Artist should be nerfed by -10-15%. Summary Move Flurry from Swordsman and place it past Master Teras Kasi in Teras Kasi Artist. Don't nerf Flurry from 20% debuff to 10% debuff. Reduce Melee Damage in Teras Kasi Artist by -10-15%. Thank you for taking the time to put together such a detailed discussion and to everyone who contributed testing, observations, and feedback throughout the thread. This is exactly the kind of productive balance discussion we like to see. There are several important points being raised here regarding melee damage scaling, Flurry’s role in both PvE and PvP, TKM passive damage contributions, and overall build diversity across melee professions. The staff and QA teams have already been actively testing and discussing many of these same concerns internally. As some players correctly identified in the thread, a large part of the current performance gap appears tied to the interaction between newer high damage 2-second weapons and the amount of passive melee damage available through TKM. At the same time, we also recognize concerns about Flurry becoming too mandatory for PvE tanking and group utility. At this stage, no final decisions have been made regarding where Flurry ultimately belongs or what exact adjustments may occur. These systems are interconnected, and changes to one area can heavily impact multiple professions, PvE balance, and PvP meta diversity. Because of that, we want to continue gathering data and testing before committing to larger structural changes. We also appreciate the community members volunteering to help with structured testing and data collection. That kind of collaboration is extremely valuable as we continue refining combat balance. Please keep in mind we are simultaneously preparing for a major chapter release, so some of these larger balance passes may take time. However, discussions like this absolutely help shape future adjustments and direction. Thanks again to everyone contributing constructively to the conversation.

I think this is spenddid, as Vell said, it will allow the use of any weapon in the game, without feeling like your gimping yourself just because you want to use a Sniper Rifle or a regular gaffi stick. This will allow us to just use weapons as skins and nothing more.

[Unavailable historical attachment #2006][Unavailable historical attachment #2007] Thank you both for the feedback. The comparison between Stand Fast and Void Walk is a fair point, especially when looking at cooldown and duration values relative to the investment required. Differences like that can definitely make one option feel strictly better than the other, which isn’t ideal. The broader discussion around defensive abilities is also important. Finding the right balance between offering meaningful defensive choices without allowing players to stack and cycle multiple strong defenses has always been a tricky design challenge. Your point about potentially tying these into a shared resource or rethinking tradeoffs is noted. We’ll pass this along to development for review as part of ongoing balance discussions.

Rezerian, post: 4375, member: 565 wrote: Did a lot of testing with the new damage increase against 3 different types of PVP targets and 2 different types of PVE targets. In PvP first against a Jedi target as expected it was glanced and evaded often but when hitting it could get up to about 5k and 7k on a crit after armors. Against a Mando target that has some of the best AOE resistance, it performed as expected quite poorly doing only about 1500 damage on average due to glances and mostly evasions. My last target was an Ent type basic characters and with all of these tests the characters were moderately buffed and have max armors Ent buffs. It was hitting every time with 5k and 7k crits that did fluctuate up to 8k at times. It does debuff the target for 30sec with -200 PRE. Lastly for the PVE tests it performed quite well doing about 10k damage to creatures after armor it could be as high as 14k with crits, certainly feels more like a PVE skill for sure. Then tried it on silver Blacksun elite, oddly enough it averages from 10k to 13k to them was not too far off from the creatures with the attacks base damage being about 30k Couple things to note, expertise boxes for damage increases of any kind but its own does not increase its overall damage output, same as buffs like lair crystal, damage stance, preparation Ect. I am glad to see the skill get a damage increase that was certainly needed, the debuff id suggest bumping it up too -300 PRE and - 300 STR. Where it is feels fairly ok for PVE for its cost maybe could be a bit more but that's just me. In pvp I don't imagine anyone will ever use this considering its cost vs damage effect. Thank you for the detailed write-up and for taking the time to test this across both PvP and PvE scenarios. This kind of breakdown is extremely helpful. The notes around performance differences between target types, along with the interaction (or lack of interaction) with other damage modifiers, give us a much clearer picture of where Remote Detonator currently sits. It’s good to hear that the recent damage increase helped its PvE viability, but your feedback highlights that it may still fall short in PvP, especially considering the point investment required. The suggestion to further adjust the debuff values is also noted. We’ll pass this along to development for review as part of ongoing balance discussions. Changes like this require careful consideration, particularly given how differently abilities can perform across PvE and PvP. Appreciate the effort you put into testing and sharing your findings.

These guys die so incredibly fast that its more work to pull one out and have him attack to just watch him be melted in an instant. I by no means saying it should be on par as a pet or anything but I would not mind a tiny bit more use out of him that people may even consider grabbing it. How about making him a silver elite, this way he will last for a few hits in pvp and a moment in pve to be a distraction maybe or just a little help in dps. Also would it be possible to change his appearance to be something a little more interesting like a blacksun mercenary or something, just a thought! As always thank you all for your time!

Xaruul, post: 4445, member: 545 wrote: Just a thought for some non-pvp, solo content. Add secret cult style reputation questlines/stories with rewards. Something never before seen with no guides other than a hint as to where to start them possibly. Something ive said before i feel would be really cool is to increase the excitement of exploration and finding something no one else might even know exists in game, especially if they hold any kindve rewards or bonuses. As a side note, to keep them from being fully guided out and posted on the forums maybe have them rotate or change like Xurr on Destiny or something of the sort so only those already in the cults or syndicates know where to go from then on IF they stay on top of it. Each group would have their own style of rewards. I.E podracer group would get speeders and speeder mods, a bounty syndicate would get weapon mods or increased hunting proficiencies, a murderer syndicate would get pvp related bonuses (though still majority would be PvE), ect ect ect. some general rewards would be houses, deco, vehicles related to the specific group, weapons/ color crystals, armors not currently in game(all of this also assuming resources permitting I.E staff). This is a long term idea. just wanted thoughts and opinions. Thank you for the suggestion. This is a really creative idea and taps into something that SWG has always done well, rewarding exploration and discovery. The concept of hidden or evolving questlines, especially with faction or “cult” style progression and unique rewards, is very interesting. Systems like that could definitely add a sense of mystery and give players a reason to explore the galaxy beyond the usual content loops. The idea of rotating or shifting elements to keep things from becoming fully solved is also a nice touch. This is more of a long-term, large-scale content idea, but it’s absolutely the kind of direction we like to think about when expanding the game. We’ll pass this along to development for consideration as part of future content planning. Appreciate you taking the time to share it. Orton Evolve Community Manager Historical reactions: Like × 1

This could also be applied to Fencer for its proc damage abilities. I feel this is necessary given the many increases in power for heavy weapons with Juggernaut and swordsmen with its 2sec attack high damage capabilities. Carbineer certainly is behind in capacities as other options, and I am always looking to bring up skills or builds that just are not cutting it to make them more appealable to use! Speaking of which any chance we could buff the return damage from carbineer? The enforcer set reduces the CD for this ability but its completely undesirable due to its low performance and its point is best spent else where. I think it would be nice to have a good tool kit ability against fast attacks like the new sabers or many CH pets munching on you as an example! Thank you for the detailed suggestion and for highlighting the current gaps in Carbineer performance compared to other professions.

We’ll have development take a look at this. For Nym’s Starmap, the option to pay Han 50k to skip the back-and-forth is a great idea and fits well with that same philosophy of reducing time sinks while still giving players a choice.

Reducing the armor pen by 4% in return for extra chances to hit with a high damage weapon is the reverse of lowering the damage.
