Toxic Bullying - seriously? You are playing a PVP based game about space wizards who kill one another over and over. Every PVP game that has ever existed has top tier players who don't care about hurting your feelings - they get off on it actually. If you are venting I hope you feel better *hands player cookie and directions to safe space*. If you are serious maybe PVP isn't for you because what you call bullying exists everywhere in PVP games. Perhaps try a PVP game which doesn't have a chat function.

I always do weapons and offhand first for any class followed by relics and ear/implants. I also wouldn't bother with replacing the mods until you get your highest set as you are dragging out the process. Power/surge augs will typically outperform crit/surge and main stat augs with an operative but since I don't know your playstyle or if you have all the datacrons you will have to play with the numbers yourself to maximize.

This is a fair argument but I am not really sure what the solution is. Create a third bracket (30-49) and que times drag out which is even more unpopular than imbalance. Balance around mid pvp and you could wreck end game pvp (which already has some issues). You can play a healer or tank which is a solution although not a very good one as you will still get blown up by high 50s. At least you can feel as if you help in the objectives. Fix bolster? Due to some unknown reason Bioware hasn't been able to make bolster work as intended since it was launched. This would be great but I am not sure Bioware has the desire or skill to do this.

Guess I am in the minority here. You want everything even in PVP, fair enough. Telling other people what to play or to shelve a character they have played for years just because they are "FOTM" now is unrealistic and a waste of time. I play a Lethality Operative, Marauder, and a AP Powertech. I don't feel more noble or dirty playing any of them. My operative/maruader is very weak in arenas but I play them anyway because I enjoy it. My AP Powertech is more powerful than many other classes but I play it because I enjoy it. If you want life to be fair then everyone should duel one on one with only one class. That is as fair as its going to get. Sound fun? Not to me.

I like the arenas in the regular que but I do understand why so many want this changed. When you get an arena and have no desire to fight then just drop it and reque early as possible so the group can still get backfilled. I don't pretend to understand the matchmaking algorithm used by Bioware but I doubt dropping fast and requeing quickly would create much longer wait times for your objective warzone. If you keep getting arenas then probably there are not enough people queing for your objective warzone anyway. Since Bioware doesn't share this info there is no way to really know for sure. There are times when not enough people are queing for regs and I would rather get a que for arena than wait 5-10 Minutes for an objective warzone. I realize everyone doesn't think this way and I respect their opinion. No regular random warzone que would mean the death of reg arenas. Maybe not a bad thing but I doubt they will change this.

I would be all for 2V2. You would have to create a separate que for it which I don't know if Bioware is willing to do. I think 2V2 would be much more balanced than 4V4 is NOW without tweaking anything. It would be like old school WOW arena made up of DPS/Healer and DPS/DPS teams. Sounds fun although I have my doubts if we will ever see it.

I personally don't leave a WZ even if I am grouped with ungeared players. I also don't leave when the first 2 minutes of a warzone isn't going in our team's direction. I don't get mad at people who do bail out but would prefer they do it at the start so we can backfill with a full group. I have seen too many games start out bad and ended well (win) to bail after one minute of things not going my way. To each his own.

19.5K Energy Burst done with my Powertech to a Sent. I assume he was ungeared as I have never seen that one time damage since. I almost pissed my pants.

1. So you want it to be like WOW. Que for an Arena or Que for a Warzone. I guess that is not unreasonable except many of us actually DO like the randomness of something different every few games. 4. Maybe you should group with all these "like minded people" who like only Objective Based Play. You will rarely get rolled in a random deathmatch in a premade group. Even if you don't like deathmatches and it puts you out to play them you will 90% of the time be facing a PUG in Regs.

How about this? Put the mailbox on the bridge leading away from the mission kiosks. Mailboxes are under a series of toxic sludge pipes from New Huttball and Fire Pits from classic Huttball which would facilitate quick mail checking. You can also have a Illum Base gun set up that anyone can jump on and shoot up the bridge the person is trying to check his mail on. I know, contrived but hey, we are pvpers - have to make it something more than just a box.

Why would they remove this? 1) It's Random - not like its every game 2) It's over faster than a regular warzone. You can do three arenas in the time it takes to do one decent Voidstar 3) It doesn't count. Even if you get facerolled and its bugged, it doesn't mean anything. Collect your coms and move on 4) PUGS get facerolled in regular warzones too VS good premades, just takes longer. I would really prefer to face a strong permade in an areana than in a long Huttball or Voidstar. Pick your battles.

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in MVP votes. Most people just vote for anyone with highest damage or heals and leave to reque. Very few look at objective points which many times wins a match. I think some of the people raging about Lethality dotting everything are kind of silly in regular warzones. Its a dot based spec no matter how you play it. Some play by dotting and then going in to focus a target and others just focus one target all the time. I rarely see a lethality just dotting from range - that's probably because I am the only lethality spec in 90% of my warzones The greatest thing about the spec is it's so situational as to how you play it. Now in ranked if you are sitting back and dotting without focus you are really doing it wrong and are a liability to your team.

For Lethality accuracy is worthless. I have none and never miss due to all tech attacks.

Yeah I feel ya on the hatred sins. If I can survive long enough to ramp up damage then I love the look of panic they have when they realize: "Hey this attacker isn't dying........." Wait hey, this attacker can actually hurt me........" "I'm dead, *** just happened?" "He must have been cheating"

Thanks for feedback. That post was written mainly for regs but I agree with what you are saying for arenas after playing a few weeks. Delayed burst is the only way to go. I don't play defensive in a ranked. I did remove hit and run utility and agree its not the best anymore. Still don't know how you don't take countermeasures but would agree its not as important in ranked. I do disagree with you on playing defensive in regs depending on many situations. There actually are many situations where running away and not dying in regs is helpful such as: Voidstar Defensive Civil War/ Nov Coast Node Guarding Civil War/Nov Coast Node Harrasing (moving the guards off the node you want) Hypergate - pretty obvious here It sounds like you play offense all the time in regs which is cool if it works for you.
