When I find an assasin/operative my first reaction is the push of the hotkeyed instant DoT skill. However they can restealth and go away without the damage breaks their stealth.

+ Orbital stations. Expertise gear.

I have a lvl50 chamipon character AND a lvl14 alt also. The lvl50 bracket is the very best thing which happaned the warzones since december. I enjoy now the warzones with both characters. My lvl50 is facing lvl50 characters: no lowbies in our group, etc. Expertise however an issue: in some occasions we have to face ppl with full Battlemaster gear, and this is annoying. And in some very rare occasions the enemy seems very weak: these are the ppl who are "fresh" lvl50s. In most times killing these folks are not a challange but simple buchering - and I'm a Jedi not a butcher. So the two solutions: 1., Just drop expertise: there is no need for separate PvP gear. We have crafting skills, let the players to do good gear. PvP commendations could be exchanged for rare materials, etc. 2., Create separate brackets for Champions and Battlemasters and "fresh" lvl50 ppl. Lvl10-49 bracket is good. OK, killing a ~lvl40 character is tricky with a lvl14 - but not hopeless like full Battlemasters. Usually I'm the lowest lvl in these warzones but most of the time I'm in the upper third of the leaderboard in DPS or number of kills. In lvl10-49 the game is about the player skills not the expertise and this is a very good thing. I definitely want this in lvl50 brackets also.

Hutball - 0 Alderaan - 5 Voidstar - 6 Huttball is one of the biggest mistakes ever made to the Star Wars universe. Alderaan is an absolute average WZ. It can enjoyable but nothing special. Voidstar is good but need some fixing: - speedhack: fix this bug! - sniper position at the last respawn point - respawn timers: come on, 30 sec respawn is ridicolous

Exactly. That's why superior PvP gear should go away. Because it can be obtain by easy farming: just farm the weaker characters and u have the most superior gear. Simply not true. Organizing a big raid (even: organizing a constant farming!) is much-much harder than just click to a WZ-button. The Red Reaper flashpoint was the last one I could do - because there is no usable LFG system and the guild is really-really fragmented: there are some players who done the most FP-s, and they don't want to do again, and there are players who are beginners now. And this is another point to REMOVE PvP gear.

Expertise should go away. You say expertise gear is the reward for progression - but this is not progression just farming. Most of today's battlemasters are not really good pvp-ers: they just farmed low level players in warzones for a month and achieved enough commendations and bags. Solution is simple: no expertise gear. Just make gears which can be achieved in PvE, PvP, crafting. Crafting is pretty much useless now, because PvP gear is better.

LOOOOL. There is 9AM now and I received the e-mail about the Founder Medal AND the really exciting 1.1 patch. C'mon 1.1 is a huge mistake and u should apologize for this with free subscription days - not advertise it.

LVL50 WZ are broken BECAUSE OF THE IMPERIALS. It would be working if imps are not zerging to Ilum to farm republic characters.

Because all of the imperials went to Ilum to farm Republic players. LVL50 bracket should work fine but BW totally screwed up with Ilum in 1.1

I hope Mass Effect 3's multiplayer gameplay was NOT designed by the geniuses who messed up SWTOR's PvP... pls. confirm it.

Totally agreed. This pvp system plus the 1.1 update is a joke. A really-really bad joke.

Sorc/Sage can do very-very high damage in warzones, but... ... mostly these are AoE attacks. Lots of smaller damages. For example on Voidstar many defenders grouping at the center and watching the two gates - but nothing else. So my Sage can do Kinetic Waves a lot of times, approx. 2,5k hit / player, so the total amount of damage is ~10-20k per cast. But 2.5k is not a big deal where most players has 15-17k HP.

"Late comer"... one month after the launch. And sadly - this is true.

I'm a trained Jedi / Smuggler / Trooper / Mercanary... ... but I cannot run because I need to level up to do this!

Plus sage instant spell actually are not instant while sorc spell are truly instant.

Remove expertise completely. It just ruins the game. Or create an expertise bracket also.

We need at least TWO lvl50 brackets. One for "normal" lvl50s, and another one for battlemasters. Seriously, the expertise system is also a big issue.

You have your expertise gear which is far more unacceptable than any pve gear.

I read this thread now and I'm shocked. I have a Jedi Sage and I always wondered why seems the sorcerer always better. It is truly sad. (And I'm also worried about Mass Effect 3 multiplayer features since I'm doing pvp. Bioware can create good stories and awesome feeling, but they are cleary not multiplayer professionals.)
