have to say i am not a fan of the shadow tank change. . .the self heal is what i love about the class. I am not a big op guy but in pvp it is part of what makes the class fun to play for me. It seems to me they are fixing one part of the game by completely changing the way the class is played. If i wanted high defense i woulda have rolled a knight

keeps saying "Error saving the token"

allowing people to queue for ranked solo will fix this

is it possible to make the healing emotes like carbonite and the kolto tank last longer than 15 seconds so they can better be utilized in RP. Not asking for the increased healing just the graphic persisting to be more rp useable

i love the set now especially the jacket

i love the changes. . .I have been wanting this style in adaptive armor for a long while

but you still have a tier 1 and a tier 2 which will even cost the same tokens . . essentially people with tier will essentially have to grind to have even less of an advantage compared to the tier 1 people than they do right not. the changes i dont have a problem with as they are good for the game but grinding to be nerfed is kind of insulting. remember pvp is simply compared to other players not the environment so it can be level 56 or 66 and it wont matter as it is meant simply to compete with other players.

yes i realize that but change the mods for BM and WH. . .then no gap and no need for new gear

I am fine with a gear progression but this move is supposed to close not expand the gear gap. they are essentially lowering WH to BM in terms of cost and adding a new tier. How bout they fix BM and WH and leave everything alone. recode the mods i am sure it cant be that hard

new tiers is not the problem. the problem is that they are dumbing (in terms of cost) down WH to make a new top tier set. Other games leave the progression but BW doesnt want to do that as it will discourage new people. I agree with BW about closing the gear gap but fix the broken gear dont make everyone regrind.

i am all for choice how about different set bonuses or something that is an alternative not a replacement

I have said in a couple threads that this is just a time sink for pvpers. if they just wanted to fix the gear gap they would just adjust the stats on WH and BM mods instead of adding a new tier and getting rid of BM

just means everyone who wants top tier gear has to grind it for a third time. I wish they had just altered the current gear

the gap looks good i just wish they would adjust the current gear instead of phasing out BM and then adding a new tier. . .i do not see the point

your not understanding me right. I am fine with making the current WH gear easier I am also ok with making the current BM and WH closer. What i am not alright with is having to grind more stupid tokens to have top tier gear that is comparatively less effective (the difference between tier 1 & 2) than it is now.

its not the WZ's that are the problem it is the principle of the matter. The new gear will lower comparative effectiveness and I am alright with that. I just dislike the idea of grinding to get the comparatively less effective gear from what i have now. My daily gets done every day doesnt mean i have to do it though to stay compeditive

i love pvp. Hate grinding but love pvp and if speeding up peoples entry into ranked is the goal re purpose the system we have don't make people grind more and call it an improvement. Raise stats on BM mods will do the same thing

i do agree some players will be taken in by the idea that the new gear is "better" but I would hope we as a community can see through this for what it is and have them invest time elsewhere. if my relative advantage to my peers in pvp will be the same why bother grinding. and if the gear gap is too great now adjust the mods dont make me grind any more. Its a game not a job. I will grind for a new item that is really new not to maintain what I have.

So let me get this straight. The low tier gear (BM) is being removed and the old top tier (WH) will cost less, and become the bottom tier with a new top tier (EWH). And the best part is the new gear gap will be comparable to the old gear gap. To me this just seems a way for BW to sucker vets into grinding gear again and paint it as content. I mean seriously, because pvp is scaled against players not the environment if everyone is getting WH and then elite WH how is it any different ? and if there is no difference why do it? I seriously encourage BW to rethink the pvp armor. Perhaps new set bonuses or open world PVP. I love the game and the new WZ is exciting to me but please rethink this aspect

i personally see this as a time sink for veteran players. I mean seriously lets get rid of the bottom tier of gear and make the current top tier the bottom tier and easier to get. Then we make everyone grind gear ALL OVER AGAIN in order to have the same comparative stats to their peers. I mean it is just plain silly. I love the game, new war zone sounds great, the new gear is a time sink though plain and simple and they are calling it content.

LOL biggest joke of SWG just made it to SWTOR . . . so funny

people on Ebon Hawk are waiting in line. While it is working relatively well and people are being civil (minus the couple people ninjaing) it is ridiculous people are waiting in line to complete a quest.. . hell if that were fun i would go to the DMV and renew my license for fun like i need to this month.

Most people who play Jedi or Sith begin their story with the character having a background of being trained in the Force. Why not - the game starts on Tython or Korriban, right? The guild Pathfinder offers a new opportunity to The Ebon Hawk community, generating new and exciting RP opportunities for everyone. Pathfinder offers to help 'discover' Force Sensitives through RP, regardless of faction or desired RP outcome! Who We Are: http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/630961/avatar/large.1313339292.png For generations, the Jedi have been the defenders of peace and justice throughout the Republic. However, it is now a time of turmoil for the galaxy. The age old enemy of the Jedi - the Sith - have returned and launched a massively successful military campaign against the Jedi and the Republic. The Jedi numbers dwindle. While a Jedi may stumble across a potential student in their travels, the Jedi choose not to leave the discovery of potential Jedi to mere chance. This is the reason for the Pathfinder sect of the Jedi Order. What is Pathfinder? The focus of Pathfinder is roleplaying as Jedi who are searching for potential force users in a galaxy at war. The Pathfinders' in-character mission is to locate Force users and help them find their way to the Jedi Order. This mandate includes many things, the foremost two being providing protection to these novice Force users and providing initial training they require for the safety of themselves and others. Pathfinder also holds regular RP training events on Tython, and these are open to everyone. What We Are Offering: Pathfinder is willing to set up the "discovery" of any new Force sensitive characters (Jedi, Sith, or Neutral). This means we will coordinate OOC to set up an IC scenario where your Force sensitive can be located by the Jedi and told about their Force sensitivity. We can go even further and escort your character to Tython to begin their training (or attempt to escort them and fail as in the case of some Sith). This provides the perfect starting point for the story of a new Jedi or Sith. Outside of the most basic details of the encounter (it is your character after all), we coordinate to set up the RP and let it play out free-form. Why We Do It: We do this simply for the love of RP. By providing this opportunity we hope to RP with all sorts of people from across Ebon Hawk as well as develop further relationships with old friends. To be clear, there is no obligation to RP with Pathfinder after your "discovery." While we are always looking for quality recruits, the purpose of this service is quality RP - not recruitment. Your character need not ever speak to a Pathfinder member again (although we hope you would!) after the event. Where You Can Be Discovered: As Pathfinder is a Republic guild, any of the Republic territory can be utilized for your character's discovery. During the planning stage, we can arrange for a Pathfinder to be in the area of your choosing. Corellia, Taris, Nar Shaddaa, Hoth and more - the choice is up to you. We are currently in the process of building a Watchman program where certain characters supervise individual planets. If you wish for your character to be discovered, this would be a good opportunity to call upon the planet's Watchman. If there is no Watchman for the planet you have in mind, Pathfinder will assign a member to locate your character. Below are a current list of Pathfinder Watchmen and their assigned planets: Nar Shaddaa: Master: Aves Korin Padawan: Shiri'ann Tatooine: Pathfinder: Itkovian Taris: Pathfinder: Ju'veraa How We Start the Process: To begin, send an in-game or forum PM to Aves, Davaren, Mccay or Járan and let them know you are interested. Another way is to post in the thread "Force Sensitive Discovery RP Opportunity" on our website. You will be asked to start a thread using this template which contains a few questions about what you want form the experience. The guild leadership will then work with you to set up roleplay with one of the Pathfinders, and together we can determine the outcome you wish for the encounter. After all the details are set up, the event will begin at a prearranged time. The planning process will take about a week but could always change based on the availability of the participants. As a guild, we are very excited about this service and we are willing to answer any questions you might have. We look forward to RPing with you! Master Aves Halcyon Watchman Nar Shaddaa

aall i have to say is an official statement of the system would help clear allot up. And no a random dev post in the PTS forums does not work as an official announcement as that is where they test things not say what is going live

I found out when I took all my BM pieces put it in more fashionable attire and I had no set bonus
