I get these Lag Spikes aswell, but for me its always when fighting Sin's

I would go for any number of planets on the front lines as it were, split them into Deathmatch, objective based and maybe a convoy guard or 2. I doubt this would be implemented but, it would be kinda cool if wins and losses on these planets would contribute to overall control of the planet. (just like the VERY old TA Boneyards)

I think there is something wrong with the way PT damage gets calculated anyhow. Dinged 55, got 3 pieces Partisan straight of the bat, popped a queue, engaged. IP damage approx 2.5k non crit HIB 2.1k highest crit Now there could be other factors affecting this, but after speaking with guildies and randoms from fleet, when they dinged, there HIB was critting at 5-6k, since 2.0 mines never gone above 4k max. Something doesnt add up in the consistancy of these figures.

/signed agree with OP. I hope this whole debacle isnt a case of the Devs getting Bolster working fine and some middle management cretin with no common sense and the sun shining out of his arse kind of person walks in and wants this stuff changin purely on his/her whim.

Unfortunately, due to bolster or some other bugged mechanic, my VG using the "Wet Noodle" build, uses HIB and crits for no more than 2.5k atm, my feckin IP hits harder non-crit. Talk about feeling handicapped. Even on the kind of Voidstar where you get sort of ignored, i havent been able to do more than 400k DPS since 2.0, most times its not more than 300k.

In all fairness ive never actually timed it (too much of a random occurrence ), too busy watching which side, but i have tried it with shadow force speed and Trooper HTL and i can never get to the door in under 15 secs. Some of this was pre- op roll aswell. I dont know for sure, i just took it as such because i couldnt find any other plausible explanation outside of time dilation and black holes

Plenty of Voidstar matches where the gate drops (defending side) we drop down to the ledge to see which side majority of reds go, before they've even got half way to a door, bomb is planted. About 5 seconds from gate drop.

If you do that then the BADS will scream murder for their brains cannot hold such an amount of information relating to 4 different cap times

You may aswell ask God for the answer for all the good whispering to the void will do you

Best idea i've heard all week. You dont drive your car whilst its being repaired do you?

Not an effective reward/cost ratio?

What happens when a casual PM of friends gets pretty decent at PvP but the next tier up is ranked pro steamrollers with aug hacks and BIS everything?

Stealth is unfair and OP NERF IT. Really??? Work around it, use you noggin'.

I know tempers and tensions are running high around the PvP watercooler, but do you have to keep feeding the damn trolls? Honestly, make sure your tetanus is up to date at least ...

My IWIN just became 12 Voidstars in a row

Lets not forget, the issue is being clouded by generalization. The PM's that queue to play as friends and not to intentionally make themselves feel superior are NOT the problem, so anyone in here who is advocating an opinion based on that, are not the ones under scrutiny with these kind of threads. The ones unfortunately, that DO group for the sole purpose of e-peen enhancement through stompage of PUGS are hiding behind your skirts snickering in the background. Take Paintball ranches for instance, an 8 vs 8 game, 1 side weekenders going for someones birthday vs a team of veterans with their own high powered mock ups of real life firearms that are capable of full auto fire (bastard things hurt) Try as they might, it is obviously going to be one sided. I know total ***** that hang around Paintball places for just this eventuality, i also know people that do this to a less pro extent that do it as a group of friends that dont wanna kick a football round a field every saturday. That right there is the distinction. The only problem right now, is that, facerollers are giving PM's a bad name and the whole PM community rises up. The heart of the matter right now, is that you cannot solve this issue, facerollers will be facerollers, friend PM's suffer. Nothing to be done unless there is some genius solution that requires monitoring each premade to detect facerollers and ban them from solo queuing

Let me sum this thread up; Players who understand PvP and can adapt to changing circumstances - Tell people the problem isnt the premades its the skill of the PUGS and the luck of the draw. Players with little to no skill and /or intelligence and people who simply have bad luck with WZ pops - Premades are evil and have unfair advantages. 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other. The only way this will end is when BW decides who to support, Whiners about obstacles or people who try and overcome obstacles. This game isnt big enough for both types on mentality, whichever gets supported by BW, the other will leave its as simple as that.

Is it possible craft the colour crystals, if so, does that include all variants, Hawkeye etc etc including the PvP ones?

**** the PvP forums, common sense has no place here !!!! On the other hand, faith in the PvP community +1

+1 just for the lawls

No, the only 2 reasons i leave are; 4-man Premade that includes 3 healers. 8-man premade. Dont misunderstand me, i dont leave the moment these things become apparent, i give it a decent try to see if they are any good or just trying to help each other, of thats the case i have no issue and just lol at the rest of the PUG screaming 'Pre-made *****'s' in general chat. If however, they are 3 totally kitted healers abusng the augment bug and can heal faster than 6 people can dps then yes i leave because thats like swimming up a 40ft waterfall. Full premades or 2x 4 man premades of the same corp, i give it the same chance and amount of time as 4 man, they could be atrocious players or lacking communication or like to turtle a point in which case go for the others. Take a few mins to try and show your team ways to out maneuver them, if the PUG is full of people that dont care/dont understand/cant speak your language, then i leave. The main problem against premades is, that since 2.0 the general skill level and IQ of PUGS has flatlined, 99% of PUG PvP these days consists of 2-3 players that have the intelligence to be there, the rest are just fodder and go running around licking windows and ****. Those WZ i stick out and wont leave for the simple fact that, its a PUG, you pays your money you takes your chances. Just a shame they dumbed down PvP for the people that shouldnt have really been there in the first place, if you wanna PvP then take the time to learn and understand, not whine to the devs who make it so you can enter with -45 IQ and still fail, but worse. Drag everyone else down with you. Just my 2 pence.

Thats actually pretty good lol /Threadwinner

What the hell is ESO? Also, thinking of seeing how EvE has changed in a couple of years, atm, dicking around on Black Ops 2 for decent PvP. Will probably download SC2:HoTS at some point. Gonna try X:Rebirth when it finally appears. Rehashing some old classics. If the next patch contains anything for the cartel market i am gone, sick of the idiots trying to maximise profits with a piss poor customer experience, i'd love to know what BW Customer supports in-tray looks like, or if theyve even opened anything from it in the last 2 years.

Not much point in converting to planetary coms for yourself, you would shoot yourself in the foot where Bolster is concerned. For a companion, sure go kit crazy. Credit cases are not so bad, just drop your coms by about 700 and you'll be sitting on about 10-15k extra. Buy the damn 1500 coms speeder. Stock up on Adrenals and medpacs and sell for creds. Stock up on Adrenals and medpacks for your use. ... Nope thats all i got.

/Signed. Full agreement.
