I am necroing myself because i knew it. On that note, anyone else noticed that EA/Bioware is sending out a survey to swtor customers that heavily concentrates on f2p mmos? (I´ll necro this one to once this game hits f2p "soon" or "when its ready"...)

Indeed. You could also try full tactics for leveling and respec assault once you hit 40+. Ammo isnt a problem than and the run speed buff is really nice Hold the line is awesome to. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801ZMsrrMroz.1 without the melee dot but more harpooning and rupting http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801ZMsr0Rrck.1 with the dot... Pulse generator is the next thing to skill in both cases!

Pretty much this, theres not much room for discussion in the assault tree. Without plastique might aswell go IF or 30+ shield, much more usefull...i would even prefer a 31+ tactics build than a non AP assault.

not sure if serious

microtransaction

Yup, theres no updates whatsoever. Its like they already gave up to, maybe heavy layoffs have been communicated and the motivation/workflow went down the drain.

I bought another game, one i didnt plan to buy or play because i didnt even enjoy it to much in its first and second iteration. I am pleasently surprised, its really fun. Go get it and get some quality gaming time, if they ever come to merge servers or offer transfers you can still come back to this game. If you feel like it.

8 people on fleet, 26 total on one of the 2 early access pvp servers for germany. On a tuesday where the weekly resets, probably the highest pop day in the week up until ~ a month ago. Ok D3 launched i get it, what i also get but the people managing this game dont: Those players wont come back for the most part. Not merging servers or giving out free-transfer options just hurts your remaining playerbase, the people that would actually like to play this game. Once they leave its over.

Do they really think this is the solution to the population disaster and are thus delaying transfers/merges? If this is the case than i will start to think of high-rank devs as i think of high-rank politicians, they have no clue whats going on in "their world"...

Only the bads dont get ignored, but ill try to help and requote...2nd chance!

- cleanse - heal if you have the range/time - kick than lose los (hook inc!) on vertical maps (huttball/alderaan) - mez and gain range or simply run away - call for help, you do not need to win all 1vs1 encounters Theres tons off good advice in this thread, and as you seem to be a good player judging on how you layed out your strengths and weaknesses in your post, you prolly will ignore all the bads and their "reroll" posts

I certainly would. If supported its great dmg beyond 10sec and the debuff helps the 10sek ppl.

Just listen to the offical podcast (its not good), they imply that ranked etc will be here b4 1.3 hits.

This would help alot and be easier to implement (cant get any easier can it) than to correct bad and lazy map design. Have the people that designed those maps ever played any other mmos or shooters? Why are there starfighters hanging from the roof in voidstar, shuttles parked on one side of the map but all doors still look the same? Why didnt they at least color code them? Do you know why the capture points in arathi basin are stables and farm and not horde-farm and alliance-farm? Its not because of 4th pillar reasons...

Wasnt even an impressive montage... special lols at that sentinel with guard, i wouldve freakin destroyed my assault vanguard even in quest greens while guarded.

Its 6 loses or 3 wins now. Good change.

::.. :::: ::..

Transfers or merge now. I wont be paying for an empty server once the free 30 days run out. How could you do the same mistake you did with warhammer again...amateurs.

As you might have noticed in my Siganture i play both of these retardedly overpowered classes. All i do is facesmash my keyboard while loughing madly and people just explode. I fully support this thread and the OP who is one of the most skilled pvp players and objective forum authors i have never met!

This is something i noticed to though. There seems to be a lvl range somewhere from ~ 10-16 where you seem to get a nice dmg boost. Maybe its to offset the limited number off abilities one has accesss to. Or maybe its just that people do overall better if they have less keys/skills to keep track off In the end imho the best advice for getting better at pvp or esp. dishing out dmg is (besides "keybinds!"): Never stop doing something, never just stand there, baseshot, reposition or get into melee asap.

I am 32/9/0 post 1.2. I rarely pay attention to numbers but i sometimes hover over the dmg done at the end to see how much dps i get in pvp. In a game where i had good melee uptime its 600dps + . This is without guard or dedicated heal. The sentinel is my alt and i feel i contribute more on my assault specced vanguard, higher dps and overall dmg is much easier to achieve here to. Only thing i would prefer the sentinel for is to ride healers

bump its awfull in swtor

I play republic and never drop below 100k, most of the time i am 200-300 in the sub 50 bracket and 400-500 in the 50s. People are just bad.

Dude you need to go to bed!

While there might be some hacking going on i do not think that its done on a massive scale. As for the OP calling people that do 2x the dmg than the second one hackers: Most people, at least on the server i play on, just plain suck at playing computer games. Its rare that i do not have 2x + the dmg done than the 2nd (or 3rd if im playing with Karenai) on our team. And thats on pretty much any class i log. People will come to the forums and complain about class X being op while theirs Y got nerfed and is useless. Because of such threads, and complainers in warzone chat, i recently rolled a commando. I do 3-2x the dmg than the 2nd on our team on a regular basis since lvl 10-30. People just explode if you position yourself properly... We almost always queue without heal or gimmicks, and its really obvious, most people are just bad.
