[REALLLLLY need to bracket players in Warzones]

It's not so much the level 40 - 49. It's the 50's with their uber gear. I'm starting to see about 3 out of 8 players on each side that are level 50. There is plenty enough to start their own exclusive warzones. It's getting ridiculous when 2 cloaked level 50 Jedi Shadows just wait for opposing players to jump off a balcony and kill them in 2 seconds, if not less.

[AFKing is already a huge issue.]

A much bigger problem than AFK is players, sometimes entire groups, logging off.

[It just happened again, the whole Imp group logged off due to lopsided pvp]

The match lasted about 2 mins of round 1 in Voidstar. Before the match began I did a hurried look at the republic group (mine). I saw 2 level 50's, a lvl 46, and a level 40. It seems more and more players are voting their displeasure with broken pvp by logging off.

[Moment of truth: Did Bioware do a succesful job at making a Star Wars MMORPG?]

They failed big time. On a score of 1 to 10, a 3.5.

[Companion instead of player crafting was a major mistake]

In WoW and other games when I want a major break from questing, or PVP - which I hardly ever tire of - I pursue my gathering and crafting interests. I can spend a whole day on this and enjoy it. This is another reason why the Bioware devs have a major disconnect from players. They just don't have a clue.

 

In a few days I'll cancel SWTOR, and resub my WOW.

[I wonder what percentage will cancel prior to their first billing?]

I am thinking of doing this as well. It really doesn't make sense to continute pvp with level 50's and their expertise gear. People want brackets.

[Voidstar is bad enough with all the lvl 50's, then my team started deserting]

I'm on the imperial side. For the 1st round I only counted 3 purple icons on the map. I couldn't figure out where everyone went. Then the warning about shutting down the warzone unless more players joined. It was so bad, that the 3 lvl 50's, and some 40's were waiting at the bottom of the balcony as soon as you jump off. When you jump off it was like they had a net. You couldn't even take one step. I didn't see the new players until right before the 1st round ended.

[Jedi Sage & Sith Inquisitor definetly mirror class, but Sith has the edge]

Obvious troll.

 

 

 

Yes. The animation frightens the recipient, and as a result of their terror, they take more damage.

 

As a result of their terror they crumble, run, and scream like a little girl.

[Jedi Sage & Sith Inquisitor definetly mirror class, but Sith has the edge]

can people please level to 50 first before declaring x class has "the edge" over mirror class y.

 

Pls and thx.

 

When a level 11 Sith Inquisitor has 50K more total damage than a level 32 Jedi Sage, then that speaks volumes. Two deaths in the last match for Sith Inquisitor, and 11 for Jedi Sage.

[Jedi Sage & Sith Inquisitor definetly mirror class, but Sith has the edge]

I've played both, and my low level Sith Inquisitor consistently has the highest damage scores. I think it's probably because the electrocute has the animation that is frightening to the recipient when compared to just plain stun. In fact my Sith Inquisitor consistently gets higher damage in PVP when compared to not only Jedi Sage, but Smuggler, and Jedi Shadow. He has the fewest deaths also. My Jedi Shadow comes in second in stats.

[Are the republic players much better, or is it my imagination?]

Today I've had the good fortune of working with well organized players. In the last 12 hours, the republic side has won over 50% easily. Another reason, is that I'm loving and learning my new character, a jedi shadow. That lightsaber to the back can be devastating. I'm also breasing through quests much quicker, because I don't have to fight every mob on the way to objectives due to stealth.

[10730 dmg stunlock in 7 seconds, best pvp class found]

I love to hear about high spike damage. I think with a high level, and top gear it should be high from time to time.

[What significance is valor rank?]

I can't tell what it does. I would like it to have an impact on gear.

[Is there a way to gain lightside points other than questing?]

I'm rolling a jedi shadow, since I already have a jedi sage, and I really don't want to repeat all the same dialogue in the side quests.

[If you want to change your advanced class, don't wait for Bioware to make a decision]

I just want to add that a LOT of people in my guild are doing this (Warzone leveling). A shocking amount, actually.

 

I personally don't "get it". There's only three warzones and we're Imperial, which means 80% Huttball. I fear dozens of people are going to burn out on the game because they are ignoring the game itself, hundreds of hours of content, for the sake of "PvP" in a contrived environment (read: not open world)

 

For me it was pointless to repeat the voice over content, because it's all the same. But, I hear what you're saying. Some just skip the new content all together.

 

I will just add, that the hardcore players of MMO's love pvp. That's why I think Bioware needs to put forth a huge effort to make it better. I wouldn't mind seeing a 40 man raid group on a huge map. Maybe a snowy landscape like Alteracc Valley from WoW.

[If you want to change your advanced class, don't wait for Bioware to make a decision]

Go ahead and roll a new character. I wanted to change from Jedi Sage to Jedi Shadow. I rolled a new character, and am well pleased. Doesn't take long to get to level 10. At level 10 you can pvp, and you get a huge boost in experience points at this level. I don't even have a doublebladed lightsaber yet, because I don't have enough light side points. The only abilities I'm able to use at level 11 are double strike, telekinetic throw, and force project, force stun, and force wave. Those 5 are enough because of the stat boost you get in pvp.

 

The stealth ability I have has increased my survivability by at least 100%. I'm having loads of fun. I plan on doing just the main quest line, and pvp until I catch back up to the level of my Jedi Sage.

[Any Jedi Shadows out there who have not died at all in a warzone?]

I'm not talking about hiding in a corner while cloaked, but actively putting forth an effort, an after a skirmish resuming stealth to fight again.

[Which advanced class has the most instant abilities? If you're not moving you're dead]

I found out real quick with my jedi sage that channeling abilites while standing still just invites an attack, plus they are hard to execute, because they keep getting interrupted.

[What is the mirror class of imperial sniper?]

Smuggler Gunslinger is the mirror to Sniper

 

Does republic gunslinger have stealth? I though that Imperial Sniper has stealth.

[What is the mirror class of imperial sniper?]

I know that the Jedi Sage is the mirror class of Sith Sorcerer. Their talent trees are almost identical, therefore is stands to reason that an imperial sniper has a mirror class on the republic side.

[On the testing server will we roll from lvl 1, or begin testing at lvl 50?]

I just want to test a Jedi Shadow to see if it is worth the trouble to level. The abilities I've seen so far I like, but want to know for sure. When will they start up the testing server?

[While running in pvp, which abilities will process without interruption?]

Not sure what you are asking.

 

I have to stop running, and avoid most damage to get my combat abilities to process without interruption. Pretty much less than half seem to process while running.

[Can we have a 40 player DOTA Type Warzone?]

Please?

 

Yes sir, you are reading my mind. There is a reason why Alteracc Valley was so popular in WoW. SWTOR needs to capture some of that magic.

[Can a Jedi Shadow stealth while in combat?]

Is this an ability close to level 50, or is it available in the skill tree? If not, what is the criteria for breaking combat to stealth again?

[Why do Empire always win WZ?]

I thought the same thing. Then I rolled a Sith Sorcerer, and guess what? The republic was winning every match. Maybe it's just me, or maybe the server queue places all scrub players in the same group. Maybe it's a conspiracy.
