This game does indeed seem too "tanky/slow" I've played quite a few MMOS and I must say that people are too tanky, wether it comes from too many D cds, or healing output is hard to tell. So, I agree with the issue, but the suggested solution is way off. Wouldnt be smart.

Hyey, can't login, getting this error in the launcher: ''This application has encounter an unspecified error. Please try this patch again'' Am I alone with this?

If i restart the game I will be kicked out of the Flashpoint though, right? I highly doubt that the problem is on my side

So I came back to SWTOR for this new exp and apparently you have 50% risc to get this UI bug where you lose important parts of your UI. CTR + U does not work, and I've tried to search around the web to look for a solutions and it appears that there is none? What I did discover is tat this bug has been around since 2012 which is pretty disgusting to say the least? May I ask what is being done to this bug? Also, does anybody have a fix of some sort? /dissapointed

Why is this not being fixed? 2015 now,,

There are a lot of expectations to MMOs that feature PvP. And then, as it is an MMO, there is a lot of different people with different backgrounds who bring different opinions as to whats right and whats wrong. This naturally causes conflict for those who has a hard time expressing themselves in a civil manor. Even those who do act reasonably will inevitably be pested and sink to the same level as those who presented an uncomprehending ignorance to begin with. Thus we have a, society if you will, that effectively devolves. This will not change before game developers require consumers to undergo a IQ test in order to purchase the game.

Okay FFS MATE. Use ENTER

TTK is also lower on people with BM gear etc.

Use ''Enter'' next time. Your class is pretty OP right now, enjoy it while it lasts instead of writing in here. Its likely not gonna change anything

I agree. I think the gear grind model can work, if only there were 2 tiers each season and that the stats difference was very very minor. It'd keep the incentive for grinders to keep grinding and a skilled player would still be able to beat a ''better'' geared players cause skill would still be the determining factor. Or they could make everyone equal geared and then reward grind/a lot of time spend, on vanity or similar rewards, how ever none that'd give you an advantage. It does how ever seems like BW does not have the gut to put this into action.

That and the fact that they did not pile up kills fast enough

Seems like it. If only we could strip him from his permission to post on forums.

This will not be a possibility before server merges, unless you want long queues ofc.

Wow a lot of resentment. Comes down to the definition of hardcore (as always) Dont sink to the same level as those you describe though

Thats a pretty bad logic. While there is some merit to it, people seem to have more incentive to just leave this game altogether. PvP is not impressive at this point and competitors are just around the corner.

Im a dps and im strongly against many of the 1.2 changes. I dont enjoy zerg fest, I didn't think healers were so amazing pre 1.2 as people claimed. Those who like the healer changes are usualy the same people who like the new TTK. They want a zerg DPS fest instead of a tactical match were they actually have you utilize their CC abilities and coordination abilities. Cruel world indeed. Lastly, OP you are abit over the top with your toning indeed. I do however know how frustrating it is when you have to cope with completely ignorant people who are trying to change the mmo genre to FPS. Civil gives you more credibility though (im not a saint, I do the same )

Expertises' sole purpose is to differentiate PvE from PvP like you said. The problem you refer to is something made up by BW. They want gear grind (at least thats what they are showing) thus stats increase on gear that takes a longer time to get. The difference between recruit and WH gear is also huge (if not larger?) in stats and some people might be led to believe that the reason they get ganked is only cause they have a higher expertise. Hope this clarifies.

reading comprehension. OP. Afaik you need to trade in the healing version of BM gloves to get WH healing gloves ie. Im not 100% sure of this, but I've heard people say that is the case. If so, then yes that is quite bad.

Well they claimed to want to slow the game down even more (higher TTK), not sure that was called for though - it seemed pretty fine were it was. They did the exact opposite though. Dunno how that even happens, if you stop and think about what you are doing it becomes pretty blatantly obvious that 1.2 would lower TTK

Healers are still pretty strong defending themselves, assuming they are in equal gear ofc. They can however not heal themselves and others simultaneously. The true problem presents it self when they are unable to heal someone getting nuked down by 2-3 players, due to the low TTK.

Why? genuinely curious - no sarcasm

In longer fights your CC actually matters, and if you cant kill stuff, its quite likely because you dont use the CC that's at your disposal (generally) You lads are crying because people arn't dropping 5 sec after you engage in combat. You want FPS style combat and thats not what MMO is about. How is nuke based PvP about skill?

Expertise is good as it separates PvP from PvE. Everyone claiming its bad is most likely biased by having lesser gear than the highest tier or simply clueless. Unfortunatly it also seperates fresh 50 from vets. This is the main problem Equal gear should be given at warmasters. This is the solution. Make up other rewards for those who PvP a lot. Suggestions could be: vanity in many varieties, and create actual fun and engaging Wz's or open world pvp. Take a look at GW2 development and steal ideas, that pvp seems to be fun.

And those who care about pvp will eventually move on to GW2. Skill based pvp and a heck of a lot more meaningful. I believe both games will co-exist, good for the gaming industry, forces dev's to care about their customers regardless of where they are coming from.

Its amazing that they haven't fixed this yet. It was here since the game launched.
