#2 It's not the gear it's you. There is no reason that with a little planning and some work you can be geared within a couple days tops. you go in with quest gear and under leveled gear you'll get ripped apart in 50. Being under geared is nobody's fault but your own you can do Dailies commendations starting at 47 and you should have 6 bags ready to go at level 50 if you pvp anyways. Laziness is not bad gear itemization

I'd be happy if there was just a set given to you at 50 and everyone used it for PvE. I wouldn't want anybody to think I beat PvE content they couldn't because i have better gear than they do.

Just one more reason why alderaan is the worst map

as it is you can get 6 bags as soon as hit 50. 1 in your inventory then buy 5 more bags with stocked up commendations. I got to 50 got bags got 1 Champion piece (ear piece) from my first bag . Did 3 dailies and finished both weeklies and within 3 days was full centurion with a couple more Champion pieces a chest piece (iirc) and my weapons. 6 bags give you 90 Centurion tokens and 42 Champ. 3 days worth of dailies that's 90 cent and 42 champ and both weeklies that's 90 more centurion and 42 more champion. 3 days worth of work and you have a MINIMUM 270 cent tokens and 126 champion tokens that's not including any extra bags you buy with wz and merc tokens while doing those quests. The gear gap isn't that big IF you upgrade your gear when you hit 49/50. The majority of people complaining I'm guesing have lvl 40 PvP gear and a few pieces of quest gear and maybe a few pieces they crafted themselves and wonder why they are getting smashed. they assume the gear gap is so huge that they can't compete. OF COURSE the gear gap is huge if you have crappy under leveled gear. Unfortunately the people whining about the gap have made the gear worse than it is now in the upcoming changes in 1.2. the sets will get some extra expertise but the stats overall are worse than that what they are now. So enjoy your crappy Blue Recruit gear that you can get from the vendor. that will be replaced with crafted orange gear and you won't even be able to strip mods out of it because the recruit gear will have no mods.

i was 4 for 6 on my first 6 BM bags let me get my MH weapon really fast it was really nice

With a good team the Ball can be almost there in seconds. Grab ball in center Pass/pull or jump and you can make faster it than they can blink. So why leave an opening to pass or jump or pull in your end zone? Leaving people on your bridges or in your endzone is bad news. Controlling mid is important but so is Bridge defense. you don't have to have the whole team on it but making sure the other team doesn't have a direct path to your endzone is also important. There are a few good teams on my server where they'll usualy let the opposing team get 1 point in the beginning because they spend that time setting up. 4 minutes later it's 6 to 1 and the game is over. It's pass throw pull jump with people sitting in key positions waiting to get the ball. Even if they don't get the grab at mid all it takes is a quick turnover and then they go back to their pass chain. a person in the endzone area also lets them run right threw the pit and jump/pass/pull up.

they are being phased out any remaining token you have in 1.2 can be exchange for lock boxes and crafting materials.

Most I've gotten in a match post 1.15 is 101 Commendations I average 70-90 which i was averaging prior to 1.15 and a little bit more on losses than i was previously. this of course assuming i get 4 Medals per match. I haven't noticed any decline if anything i've noticed a slight boost.

Using AoE knockbacks specifically the BH jet AoE can be very dangerous and some what unpredictable in which direction the enemy goes . I've seen many a well intentioned Knockback actually throw the ball carrier over the line. :/

I say we let Stealthers stealth when ever they want but remove all of their abilities that stun others. It's far more frustrating being locked down while a stealther takes 70% of your health. Let my Stealth probes as a bounty hunter Be a permanent effect centered on me so if any stealther comes with in 3 meters I can see their outline and target them. Let my sorcerer Have a static field that does very small Dot damage when anybody gets within 3 meters Then let Stealthers stealth when ever problem solved.

+1 Die with your boots on!

Are you saying that some people's time is worth more than others?

Champion, Centurion and battle master tokens will no longer be used to buy gear and any left over Tokens you have can be exchanged for lvl 50 Gear boxes, Credit Boxes, Crafting materials and Crafting material Boxes for the new PvP crafting materials. the rate of exchange depends on the item and the level of the tokens.

you are the winner!

you get about 3-5K per WZ match with no repair bills for PvP

Go play a FPS if you don't want gear progression. Are you going to tell People they shouldn't get Datacrons if they PvP because they give an advantage? Hopefully the matching system will weed out people who want to be given Gear for no effort. If you go to the extreme why not set everybodies stats at a set amount remove all gear and give everybody the exact same template of skills dependent on on the 8 classes you play. if you want cookie cutter builds where everybody is equal play a FPS that has no gear or unlocks. Gear is a part of RPG's deal with it.

you seen the stats on the recruit gear Besides the expertise buff and DR changes the sets are absolutely horrible. They won't give players much of a boost from already geared players.

The Day 1.15 came out I was valor 55 I did 50 Warzone matches in one day and went all the way to 60. if you just do your weekly and dailies per normal you should still have enough time to easily get 65 before 1.2 comes out. It's not hard Just get your 4 medals each match. also if you enough WZ's to reach 65 you should have enough credits to buy the million or 2 million $ boats as well before they get removed.

Come 1.2 Crappy players who complained about a level playing field pre 1.2 Will just be crappy players in Recruit gear who complain that it's not good enough and it should be better.

they are getting rid of Champion, centurion and battle master tokens in 1.2 but they have made a turn in dealy where you'll be able to exchange whatever you have left for lvl 50 gear boxes, credit boxes and crafting boxes as well as crafting recipes. http://dulfy.net/2012/03/20/your-old-pvp-commendations-and-1-2/ for example

I believe It is the basis for video game rpg's. computer RPGs and MMORPGS have been about gear since the beginning, from the early 80's for CRPG's and the mid 90's for MMORPG's/CORPG's. Character advancement in both stats,level (Character level or skill level dependent on game), and gear have always been a base mechanic for this genre. there are some exceptions to the rule there are not many IMO. Some games have made gear more disposable than others but gear was still used and needed. Most if not all Modern MMO's since EQ1 have had gear progression and in the case of EQ created many common gear "rules" like binding and level restrictions. It's been a staple of RPG's from the 70's as well with some exceptions. RPG's have always catered in part to that sense of wonderment and the excitement of getting rewarded for your characters efforts.

Almost the whole basis of MMORPG's is gear progression whether it is in PvP or PvE. Honestly it feels like a slap in the face that Bio-ware has decided it's ok to grind PvE gear and have something to show for your effort besides pretty fashion colors but in PvP your effort is shown in fashion not stats.

that being said the game has failed to give me my earned points before after doing flash points. So it may be glitchy at points.

the recruit set is a dummied down version of the Champion set only rating 126, Blue, and nonmoddable. So in no way really comparable to the current champion set.

combats logs will prove that there is No Crying in Huttball!
