My sentiments exactly. It's not fun anymore, even with the reward boost (which I think is a touch too much but a lot better). With the incentive of a lot more comms, you would think people would be all over queueing a lot but on my server the queues are longer since Thursday. I really liked pre 1.2 ttk and was hoping it would be a touch slower come 1.2 but it's the complete opposite. I've missed a couple of days of not finishing my dailies. Is this how you want it to go?

Sorry Georg, I don't believe that for one second. A lot of the ppl that pvp daily along with myself (1100 expertise) see that the TTK has changed dramatically. It isn't fun to gib or to be gibbed by someone so quick. I get hit for over 5k regularly and it's not that lack of not knowing if they're expertise is off par to mine. Something is definitely up and your metrics are definitely not working properly. I'd charge that your pvp team should play on the regular servers more with us.

I wish they would move the damage component of expertise and apply it to mitigation. the TTK is a joke. I'd like to know as well as face rolling or being face rolled is no fun.

They wouldn't have dedicated a full planet to pvp if it was at least a major aspect of game play. After Thursday I haven't pvped at all in protest. The damage is insane and no fun. The rewards is just an added slap in the face.

I left my BM set untouched and it still didnt work. Between the insane damage and the new wz system this is just icing on the cake...

I was thinking pre fall. From my understanding they had slimmed down the client for the final dvd push. I had friends in the beta from spring to summer and they said it was loading faster. Maybe it was a misunderstanding but even on some SSD's, the loading slows down. I haven't tried that ram disk thing yet as it there doesn't seem to be a consensus on if it's legit and not harmful. For me, loading planets tend to take 2 to 5 mins depending on planet.

There have been a lot of games that have offered it from dvds. It would make sense that anything to speed up zoning would be helpful. If they are big or small, I wouldn't care. Just give the option. Can anyone in the beta before last fall attest to this?

I had heard that during beta the game downloads were much bigger (20 to 30 gigs more) but the zones loaded faster. If this is the case, add an option near the repair button. I wouldn't mind download an additional 20 to 40 gigs if the game loaded quicker.

I see that your opening up a lot of items for this feature but I feel it should be done for all of the items. I think the only exclusion is drops from raids and biochem reuseables that are class/skill specific. Even there I think you can circumvent issues by how you manipulate the loot tables via party makeup. If your playing enough that you have 4+ 50s and/or maxed crew skills in multiple areas, I don't see why you shouldn't benefit from that.

I'd rather they wait till the end of april, based on all the feedback I've seen it's not even close. You really want this going live and creating all types of problems?

I think the first two points here are the big culprit. Being chain stunned to death is no fun for anyone and by not having an immunity after your break compounds the issue.

Exphryl, whats your power and aim at if you don't mind? Nice thread btw.

The pubs on ajunta pall seem to be much better but get hutball late primetime. Dark reaper the pubs are good and win about 65% even as a solo queuer. Terentatek the pubs seem to win 80-90% as the imps are really bad unless a decent premade is in. I've never seen so many clueless on terentatek so it's probably your best bet although I hear that the overall pub server pop is quite low. I think in the end unless they fix the pvp I will probably quit/rage quit as the clueless players irk me. Even when you mark or say in ops to kill healers they dont get focused...

What they could do is throw out RNG completely. They initiated a system that's a joke to begin with. I love them as a company but hate them as a MMO developer. I stopped playing my 50s for just these reasons. I'm hoping by March they actually fix this system so it makes sense.
