I've had instances where you as a healer go to help out a hit turret, healing the dps etc. After the opposition is down, two healers are meditating for a few sec while the dps just runs to the other turret leaving the healers behind. I know two healers are the good defense but not better than a tank/healer or dps/healer. Dont all leave a node defended with healers, ask the healer to go help the team while you sit at the turret and call incomings. If the healer refuses to do that and stands there healing himself, then you may have some beef.

You are crying about a measely 4 medals? Just be glad he didnt go for his 300K Healing one too or I dont know what would have happened to you or your teammates for that match.

Give the op a job at the SWTOR PvP development team!

You guys should have seen this coming, it says right on this website for class descriptions. "Sages/Sorc are the most versatile class in the game." Sages/Sorc arent just FOTM classes, they are FOTG (G=game) and the developers even touted that, I dont understand why you are surprised about their versatility.

I think they should make Champion bag/BM bag token discovery based on valor. For example if you are valor 50, you have 50% chance of getting an unassembled (could be doubles but you do get champion commendations now so gearing will be faster). At valor 60 (BM), you have a 60% chance of getting a token so it doesnt feel like you opened 100 BM and got 2 tokens only. The percentage values can be tweaked for grinding time vs gear obtained, right now there is no correlation between how much you PvP vs how fast you obtain gear (valor 60 and above).

With over 500 expertise, healers do become unkillable especially with a guard. They turn into godmode if there is another healer in the same warzone dishing out heals to each other. With no guard, and if 2 semi decent dps (which is rare, decent dps is an oxymoron) focus down a healer, the healer especially sages/inq do go down pretty fast. Protip: Mark the healers, focus them hard. If theres a guard on them, one dps focus on the tank.

Just be thankful that your valor 44-60 grind just got a little easier.

I don't understand why healers feel they are entitled to MVP votes, I grinded my way from 10-50-BM all while I was heal specced. Most of these games I probably got 1 maybe 2 MVP votes, no worries keep the requeue checked and do it again. Healing in SWTOR PvP is not just about whack a mole watching health bars, in some instance it is but you are the only one that has the full view of the battlefield, keep an eye out for who on the other team is healing. If a dps is on you, stun him get some space, dot cappers etc, you will be recognised way more that way then simple healing numbers that doesnt show anything other than the other team did more damage to your team.

I think they should atleast add some class dailies to do at 50 so the story does not feel that what you did from 1-50 (or whatever level you finished your main class story) was all for nothing, no recognition, the only epic thing about your character at 50 are the pvp/pve gear. For a game that taunts its story based driven MMO like its the next iteration of sliced bread for MMORPG industry, how each class story ends is just a little underwhelming.

At 50, I really dont know since I dont queue without a premade so we win all our games. At the 10-49 bracket, whats funny is if I am on my republic alt, I will lose more games and maybe win 1 out of 10. On my Imperial alt (same server), I will win probably 2 games out of 10 (also 5 will be Huttball). Maybe its me being bad at my alts, but you cant really tell which side is the better faction at PvP. Just depends on the players.

Oh how the tables have turned, I few weeks back healers were feeling entitled and pleading to get more MVP votes since they dont get enough medals. Now its DPS classes that abused the heck of out a broken item to get their two medals and in some cases the 75k heal medal also. Now that its been taken out or atleast changed (still can be used). As a pure heal spec sage that got to BM rolling with my 5-6medals, this irony just tastes so sweet.

I know it would seem like a long shot but maybe have a system where if an opposing team marks any player, it instantly shows up on the ops chat or ops warning message. So atleast the team mates know someone of their team mates is targeted. This could also backfire where the opposing team uses all the marks and then communicates to target only certain mark. Could be good for rated/pre made wz but in Illum zerg fest it shouldnt matter.

I dont think throwing rocks versus lightning is the problem. Its the animation coolness factor. If Consulars did the two hands in front while throwing rocks with a bit more zip to them, that would look way cooler than the put your hand to your face one they do now.

Thank you, finally some good news through a sea of bugs and Illum PvP faux pas. Im just glad that I know my abilities would go off when I want them to rather than some pre-determined internal timer.

Pretty easy to test yourself, if you are in a huttball game, bubble yourself run through fire and you get your 2.5K healing medal.

Incoming Imperial zerg (just like ingame) to defend their position and for you to show them proof of so called valor exploitation. I can see the future.

Trion and to some extent Blizzard have pampered us with such high quality customer service and developer player communication, anything below that just seems dry and seems to put a bad taste in your mouth. I have never had to deal with Bioware's customer service till this game, since their other games (DA2 excluded) have been so exceptional. I know they are an infant MMO company but there should have been some lesson learnt from other companies about how to successfully run a costumer service since dealing with players is the biggest issue in all mmo's.

This and more this, just dont open the doors or even have the queue pop. Also when people leave, and I know this may sound crazy, just pause the combat till more players join. Make everyone stay still with a big warning on their screen saying, combat paused due to Warzone player unfairness (That should be easy since warning spamming is their big thing anyways) so the players dont think their game froze.

But you get to do this awesome daily where you kill 30 players (even more than 30 since not all kills actually count as kills) of the opposite faction or look for armaments while being ganked by those 30 (even more than that) said players. The reward for this awesome daily is a champion bag or a battlemaster bag thats gives you these awesome duplicates for the 10th time for that ear piece you didnt want and to top it off you get these awesome tokens. Whats not to like about Illum?

Hopefully this video can be used to see how the Illum PvP system can be abused so easily with a little cooperation between factions. What about the servers that have dual guilds on each faction, all they have to do is ask their sister guild (On the opposite faction), have them all in vent (heck even /say works to talk with the opposite faction), take points then trade kills like in the video. Weekly Illum quest done in just a few minutes along with some extra valor for all the good faith dealings.

Nope. You will have to reroll another character of the same class/humanoid species and level him/her up to 50.

There is nothing to see here, move along. LaLaLaLaLa To the op: Best bug ever, its funny getting slaughtered in Illum where 5 imps gank you vs us ganking on a 10 vs 8 Warzone. ps. I did send a bug report ingame, I know I know the horror of fairplay.

Well thought out and relevant post in the context of this patch. Too bad most forums readers and responders see the heading, notice the specific keyword (Unsub) and respond by quirky remarks.

Raging about people raging at its finest.

From my perspective on what Bioware is thinking is that healers do damage also so their medal gain would be enormous with the double dipping. What they dont understand is to do that you need to be a hybrid dps/heal spec which leads to bad gameplay, you dont help you team win but are just there to rack up medals. I usually try to snipe a killing blow here and there which makes the dps angry but then I toss them a bubble and a hot and keep them calm.
