So... don't stack surge and figure another combo of mods that works. Everyone is playing by the same rules here, this shouldn't be a big crisis.

It's a little better than Champion. So? Why does it need to be a LOT better?

Google is your friend. And besides... it was more or less said how to do it in THIS thread, anyway.

Yes. It's a bug that can be exploited. This didn't go from something that happened every rare once in a while... to something that is happening virtually nonstop on my server. People know how to do it... it guarantees them an easy WZ win. They are not being punished. They keep doing it.

5 out of 6 warzones. I don't think the Imps on Kinrath Spider even care... cheat til you get your warzone quest done and continue. we had 8... they had 10 in last one.... we were butchering them around the first doors in Voidstar... and I'm wondering how the @#$@ do they keep coming? I've got 26 kills and there are still 3 mins left in the first wave! 1 guy from our group says 'screw it!' drops... we have 7... warzone ending countdown begins... queue for warzones as group, allow multiple queues to pop - profit.

The whole group up and multi-queue PvP warzone cheat is way out of hand... 3/3 so far today in warzones with the other side cheating. Not fun.

Strange... I run around with my GS in the sub 50 wz's with a grenade spam spec/quickdrawing on wounded and generally win dps/kills - often by double the nearest guy. As a side note - I use about 3 or 4 keys total in combat, so it's a nice relaxing spec, too. I can't see why it'd change a lot once I hit 50 and am geared.

it's getting a bit out of hand. about 50% of the alderaan/huttball matches I join now... one side or the other is cheating.

There is always something to do... Question is - is there something fun or interesting left to do? You'll have to answer that yourself and let us know what you think.

closing in on 2 months after launch and Bioware still can't get this basic issue correct? REALLLLY annoying!

You might want to check the news... EA stock is diving hard for about a week and took a downgrade today on specific concerns about TOR.

I love posts like this.... So... as you're here on the forums, you must hate the game, too?

Huttball was cute the first 50 times... not so cute after the 500th time. What can you really say about PvP in TOR? It's terrible. It's utterly uninspired. We can only assume it was a complete afterthought. Ilum looks like some 12 year old got ahold of the terrain creation tools! There are countless good ideas on PvP just littering the forums of MMOs... and none of those ideas are found anywhere in TOR. It's frustrating... it feels like there is this community of sucky idea-devoid developers... who have this perceived "MMO PvP experiece" that somehow makes them candidates to be involved with PvP in every new MMO... and they just bounce around from game to game tormenting every single PvP player that would like something new... which I think is just about ALL of us!

Sure... it's a business not a game. But if you actually think any business would look at hardcore customers the same as casual customers... you have a lot to learn.

I don't know what you're getting from operations... but HOLY CRAP - I can make so much more money than you farming heroics solo.

I'm sure it's been said a bunch... you can log out and log back in to clear the bug.

I play a sage at 50. I have half BM and half Champ gear. Yes... I'm a bit squishy, particularly to whatever the lightsaber throwing/leaping Sith class is... or when I get smacked by a couple of stealthers at once. On the other hand - I'm usually tossing AOE's like a mofo and spamming a nonstop stream of turds at people. Basically, I'm rarely not doing damage - even if it's not doing epic crits. And of course... it's been good to be ranged AOE in Ilum. So there are benefits and negatives to playing in robes.

What the heck do you want your role to be? You're talking about MASS open world pvp... yes... it's good to be ranged and it's good to AOE in that situation. It also sounds like you're talking about jumping in 1 at a time. Probably not the best plan. Do you want to be invincible? How many AOEs should be able to eat without suffering DPS? 10.... 20? Waaaaah! * TBH - the issue is no Friendly Fire. If FF was turned on... and AOE was even increased in range - you'd see a different style of combat that would probably make melee feel a little more like frontline soldiers with a purpose.

Sux to be you. I'm 7 for 14.

It may be that, that is exactly the way it is intended. You're comparing individual items... they probably looked at the total stats of BM vs. Champion gear... If you want to get creative and start mod-swapping - then the tools are out there to do it and you can enjoy the rewards, since you'll probably be ahead of the curve.

Of all the problems with PvP.... this is what you want to make a post about? It's awful enough having to do Huttball 10000000000 times in a row trying to get commendations and valor... but by all means, let's take away the extra medal or two some people can get! Use a medpack or buy a pvp heal and get it yourself.

I think it also doesn't show the offhand item for some/all classes.... that is, unless all the jedi sage battlemasters on my server aren't using a focus for some reason that I'm not aware of.

The thing people are overlooking here is how quickly "box" purchases of this game dried up in January. Unless they start giving away free trials - what is going to bring more people to the game? Find me evidence of any game where new features were added... a patch... whatever... and people suddenly started buying it in droves at $60 copy months after it came out. I'm not an expert in MMO retention rate and churn - but I do know that whatever the % retention after 1 month... there will be continued attrition of those individuals in the 2nd... 3rd... and continuing months. To even maintain subscriptions they have to be replaced with resubs or newsubs. I don't see any reason for massive resubs... and even in the first month after launch, the newsub rate doesn't look like it could keep up with the drop rate.

Nope.. you'd think it was. He always used melee weapons. He always used Aim and testers always said "this doesn't make sense! (must be a bug they'll fix before launch)" The late change was Bioware actually gave him a melee weapon WITH aim on it... before that, you were stuck using +str weapons.

The age group playing vs. the maturity level may be one of the reasons this game wasn't a big smash out the door. I bet the average age is in the mid 30's.... but much of the game - excluding bits here and there - does feel like it is targeted to an early teen age group. * and it's true Star Wars movies have always been that way.
