I'm sure this has been brought up, I haven't been following the forums and haven't played SWTOR since January. But it seems to be all these features should have already been implemented, these are obvious features integral to any MMO and the fact SWTOR launched without them only to add them within a few months of launch is disconcerting.

I'm not sure I've ever had more fun in warzones/battlegrounds. I love the PvP and intend to play a long time.

Unfortunately this is an example of a must-have in any MMO today. There are certain features that MMO's have today, that all future MMO's should copy. I do not understand why this is not an option - it's so obvious. I really hope they add this soon.

Good to know - thanks for the replies.

I've heard conflicting views on how this works. Is there a cap for respecing? I've heard people paying 55k, does it ever stop? Does it in fact reset from week to week back to zero? I've heard that it does, but that the UI still shows it as costing x number of credits, even though it's free if you select it. Anyone able to clarify?

You're clearly missing the point. Sigh. I rarely ever vote for highest DPS myself, I often vote for the person who was the best all 'round, and I weigh heavily on those who actually played objectives. This is what I'm talking about. I'm talking about solo holding caps points, winning objectives single-handedly, and receiving no recognition through MVP votes because people just vote for their friends.

You're right. But when I do literally 3x as much damage as the next highest DPS and I get 0 MPV votes, it's reasonable to say that people just vote for friends (or either do not vote at all, or vote randomly). Not all premades are good. I'm not saying all people do this, I'm generalizing of course.

I agree, if there's a quality healer in a game he'll trump a dps for votes. But if there is a group of 4 guildies, they'll all vote amongst themselves regardless - that's my point.

Let's just call it what it is, Most Important Friend. What's the point. Players just vote for their friends anyway. It doesn't matter how much you dominate a warzone, whether it's healing, tanking, damage or if you carry an entire team in huttball - if there is a group of friends/guildies, they'll vote for each other. It's a nice feature in theory, but in practice it means little.

Healers need more medals. If you disagree with this statement - you are wrong. Racking up 300k healing isn't impossible, but if your team is doing well there is nobody to heal and this is hard to achieve. As for the 5k heal, I never once got close. The only way to get it as my class is through a health pack. Healing can be extremely effective in this game, but healers aren't recognized by the medal system. Plain and simple, there's no argument. It's just a matter of adding new medals for healers.

He's aware of that, hence why he said 800 commendations. There are chests that contain 30 merc commendations on Tatooine, but the same question could be raised why don't they just contain warzone commendations. You're right, it doesn't make sense.

You're hardly competitive yet. I hereby void your opinion. Healing isn't nearly as fun nor as rewarding as DPS. I leveled healing with the expectation of remaining healing through my swtor experience. I tried a hybrid spec for a day, then switched to pure dps after that. So much better. As mentioned earlier in this thread, you can do more dps than you can healing - so you are more effective doing dps in order to keep your teammate alive. Sure, if you have a tank, you're a god. But that goes for DPS as well.

I agree with your first statement, although after reading your second statement, I now put you into the inane babble category.

Cool idea, but sort of lost it's appeal after a couple minutes. I was expecting some republic resistance at least.

I agree with the OP. They are so overpowered it's crazy - they can even pass the ball up to another player on the ledge when they're below, ***?!? How is this legal?!?! OMG

Please don't use the phrase "in any mmo" because you're almost always wrong. There is no way that this game is more unbalanced than any mmo. You're just doing it wrong. L2Play. I can't get enough.

I'm thinking of dropping 400 synthweaving for biochem as well. Guildies have done it for the re-usable healthpack and stims. Certainly looks good in PvP.

Going to try this build, however I agree that you should take 2/2 Lightning Barrier, and 3/3 Chain Shock.

I've now received 3 Champion belts, and 1 pair of boots. This is a highly frustrating system.

I was totally fine with the PvP reward system, I didn't mind getting a random chance at a piece of tier 2 PvP gear. I was happy when I got my first piece, and I was OK only getting commendations for the next 10 or so. Then, when I finally get a 2nd piece. It's another belt. There's obviously no point in having 2 tier two PvP belts. I can't trade it. I can't even remove enhancements to use in my orange items. All I can do is shrug my shoulders and keep grinding. I'd love to be able to trade my belt for my guildmate's double chest piece drop. Anything....

There is a grace period. I waited 20 minutes last night, DC'd almost immediately, and was #1 on the queue when I logged back in. I'm confused.

Thank-you Piercer.

I see the box, in the past that has worked, for whatever reason this time it does not bring up anything when I click there.

As far as I know the mission/quest is an Underworld Trading mission that my companion brought back a reward for but I was unable to accept, so there's nobody to go to.

These are quests I've completed, turned in, and then for whatever reason (likely a lack of inventory space) was unable to accept the reward, so I closed the window. Normally, this would pop back up next time I accept a mission reward, and be displayed as a pending mission in the upper right-hand corner. Because I cannot click on it, and I cannot accept any new quests to complete so it pops up automatically, I'm essentially stuck.
