If you can't hold it yourself, should have waited longer. You shouldn't need reinforcements.

Why did you ninja their node with that much time left in the round?

Wait, is 2.1 coming out much earlier than we expect or are we just going to be waiting a while for crew skills to work properly?

Yes, that is possible, especially if you are rolling the other group.

It would probably have to be accompanied by some smaller tweaks but I agree.

Wait, are you telling me there is a warzone that encourages something other than solo guarding and 7v7 in the middle? That's unacceptable.

My guess is "We're not calling it an exploit because then we'd have to do something about all the people that exploited" just like the Ilum exploits-that-aren't-exploits.

Well, they won't be this Tuesday, so it wouldn't work in this case.

What's the point in responding to me in this way? Honestly. Unless you have a good answer to this I'm sure you will understand if I ignore further responses. Not really worth anybody's time. If you have an issue with BW's handling of this, use them as a scratching post, not me.

Talking about live servers, clearly.

They spoke! And it looks like there won't be a fix on or before Tuesday. Yay!

If there is a fix ready in time this is probably something worth having an unscheduled maintenance period. I know you aren't in charge of that, but Tuesday will be three weeks of bugged bolster. It's probably worth taking down the servers over and over to get it fixed, if it comes to that.

Early weekend, I guess.

I hope they address this today. It would be nice if they had a fix and pulled the servers down to implement, but addressing it would be good, too.

Bubble Stun is a great example of an opportunity to do this pre 2.0.

Regarding augments: yesterday's crew skill fixes are going to bring those in line. Thermal Regulators are already half of what they were yesterday morning on The Bastion due to crits bringing back 2-4 instead of 1. Further, gathering missions are bringing back more mats (though useless Holinium and Perfect Carbonic Crystals are still part of that). Prices will keep dropping, too.

No communication at this point is a bit sad. The patch did not fix bolster. It did not fix common bolster exploits. Naked PvP was better than this. And yes, a "my bad" post is better than nothing. They know there is an issue. They know it isn't fixed. Token communication is possible even if more isn't. Tuesday will be three weeks of broken bolster. I really hope it doesn't get to that point. This is something worth bringing the servers down in prime time to fix. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game. My favorite part about it is PvP. That part is broken right now.

I just want it to be fixed. And I don't mind if they take the servers down in prime time to do it. The exploits are gamebreaking and easy to produce. The system overall still doesn't make sense according to what we've been told. This has not been a simple solution. It has not been an effective solution. It has effectively borked PvP for two weeks now. if we're waiting until next Tuesday for a fix on this, I don't know. There are some things I can't justify. This has been an absolute disaster.

I like the idea of how it was initially represented (a way to replace recruit gear). It certainly hasn't been worth the trouble. I'm not much of a reactionary. I generally roll with the punches. I didn't queue for PvP at all last week, despite that being why I play the game. All the issues with it have just turned me off to playing warzones at the moment. It was supposed to be a simple, elegant solution that removed a clunkier one (recruit gear). It hasn't been simple or elegant. It hasn't been worth the trouble, in my opinion.

Literally crafting a resuable stim and medpack as I type this.

I haven't had to do this on Biochem, Armormech or Artifice. I haven't leveled the others to 450 yet, but with new patterns every 10 skill levels there was always something green I could craft, IIRC.

If you happen to get a group together for it, let me know. I can heal. Foggy on Imperial side.

That explains it. Thankfully after the first day, it was pretty clear something was wrong with slicing and I haven't run any missions since, so my sunk cost is much lower than it could be.

FWIW my Diplomacy missions have returned crits at a normal rate. I haven't tried other mission skills.

I'm experiencing similarly low drop rates compared to when I did it on the PTS.
