Hi, yes the English servers are low in population as well, except for one called the Fatman. I think they need to do merges soon to address this. They say it will happen but have given no definite date or details yet. ps- Your post was very clear.

Yikes! 20-36 bozes without the schem! That is a whole lot of wasted WZ comms. Maybe someday when I am completely geared up. /sad face

Thats an idea.... can you download the phone application there?

LOL! I have to ask....did she finally stop whining about going against her teachings?

Heyas! Hope to see more of you on HoG soooooon.

QFE Love this post <3

My rl friends play on an RP-PVE server and report their experience as waaaay more positive than what I see on my PVP server. I was when she talked of Cantinas so full people took their name tags off. I do think there is a definite difference amongst groups. If it were in my power I would give the RP servers unlimited booze.

Happy to see so many flurry on HOG and hope to see more when transfers go in.

Because you dont get thrown into one at the losing end, with 1-2 minutes to go with a bunch of people you do not know.

You can also get the crystal if you are imperial and PVP: Crystals (March 29) Advanced Black-Blue War Hero’s Crystal (+41 expertise) 150k credits, 1950 Warzone Commendations eta- I would totally use a rainbow saber. My guild leader might have an aneurysm but Sian would be happy.

Same here. I also have more compassion for new folks because this is my guy's very first MMO. He is very intellegent and has a technical job. I know he isn't an idiot and to see how overwhlemed he was the first week was definitely an eye opener. To those of you annyoyed the person doesn't alt tab out of the MMO to look it up elsewhere (big sigh) please just don't type anything. That is all you need to do, just ignore and let the nice person next to you handle it. That alone is better!

Just wanted to add sometimes you have to make at least 8 sabers to get 1 crit one with an augment slot.

My thought is this- it benefits players getting back filled into a losing match. Maybe with a reason to stay those people won't want to keep quitting.

Wow that's.... gross. If folks have that many comm's to spare they wouldn't need an expertise crystal would they? Perhaps way, waaaay down the line when I am all war hero'd out i can consider buying the schem and making these. Until then +41 power is probably it for me. I will let my guildies know, thanks so much for sharing the info!

I cannot wait to see how this works out, have my fingers crossed.

As far as I can tell we cannot get an expertise schematic anywhere. Did you find one in your crafting kit?

No problem, I love that headgear so I clearly remembered drooling over it. Alas, not in the budget!

I could not agree with this post more. It would be one thing if losers lost due to ability one way or another. It's all about GEAR. Those with better gear win and continue to get better gear and win more. Those with little or no gear lose will lose and lose and (eventually) quit playing entirely. The gap is becoming bigger with each day. If there was even more money in the losses that would offset the comms, the losers could buy better gear. I am tired of reading about how real life isn't fair and welfare nonsense. This is a game and everyone is paying to play it. This first change is a step in the right direction but more needs to be done, and quickly.

I saw it on the HOG GTN last night... so it does exist.

The other team could just as easily have plenty of 11k people as well. With the new changes it will take alot longer to get better gear so the new people are going to be struggling a long time. How about helping them, if not for yourself but for your faction as a whole. You didnt start pvp as a full BM so c'mon, get over yourself.

I am hopeful it is for more than just today, I am working and bummed i am missing it. Sounds fun!

It's unfortunate but unavoidable thanks to swtor ignoring the server poulations issues. Transfers and /or mergers could have been handled by them to spread folks out evenly. Instead people on ghost town servers had to re roll and start over to see other players in this....MMO. -If you had to re roll and start completely over wouldnt you transfer to the highest pop server? Would you really want to risk having to do it again?

The medal requirement should have been held until they implemented 8 player Q's. Until then it should be removed. Putting in only HALF the planned pvp changes has really exacerbated the mistakes made. I like alot of things about the new patch... but they should have waited on the PVP part until it was ALL working imo.

Very good post, ty op! I hope tptb reads this, understands it and implements some (good) changes to address the ever widening gear gap.

/signed My inventory keeps filling up with these. Cannot possibly sell them all on the gtn and the vendors don't give me enough $ to cover the supplies. Seems wasteful, would love to re them.
