Sounds like a Domination-style game. I agree with most points, but under NO circumstance should you be able to defend while in Stealth. I would go as far to say moves that give complete damage immunity should also not count as feasible tactics to contest a capture point, much like Guild Wars 2 where Stealth and Immunity abilities can't be used to turtle a point. You have to actively defend and learn to rotate with teammates on and off the node when the pressure is too high.

I've mained a Sorc since launch (DPS/DoT) I really can't even tell if these posts are just trolling anymore lol. Healing = Over tuned, needs some tweaking. DPS = Fine, if anything slightly under powered when compared to other "burst" spec classes. But it could quickly become TOO strong given the nature of Thundering Blast cooldown and auto crit on Affliction. DoT = Fine, it's a Damage Over Time build. Placement in the end of match report does not show what is overpowered and what isn't. It simply shows that the person knows how to use Spread mechanics to maximize dps. . . and more often than not they did NOTHING but throw dots and spam force lightning. A lot of people play the class, sure -- although on my server, in any given match Sorc population is easily eclipsed by Juggernaut, Marauder and Assassins -- but you can't nerf a class because a lot of people play it. Want to completely counter the oh so godly Sorcs? Assign a burst class to harass them the whole fight. Game over. I know when I roll my Arsenal Merc (given the population of the aforementioned classes in our pvp queues) I LOVE seeing Sorcs on the OpFor. At least I know I can get a kill in before the glowbats all leap on top of me -- if Force Barrier is down, or I have EN up, that is.

I've wanted the rewards for a long while myself, but during my playtime Ranked -- from what I understand during all playtimes on the server, except for scheduled events -- doesn't exist. Instead of making them public rewards, EAware should fix the *********** population and queue issues. A fix that doesnt require me to give them more money as a sub to transfer for my toons.

An older MMO had this very thing--it got shut down because of this game. I'd still pay 15 bucks a month on four accounts if it were around today (and receiving no updates, just weekly resets). RIP SWG, you are missed.

Lol I swear I read these forums, and it's like I'm playing a different game than most of you people. Sorc heals are definitely too strong--I'll say that. But as someone who has mained a Sorc dps since launch, how the hell can you say we are OP? Lmao. Getting top numbers at the end of the match does not make a class op, it means they were just death matching. Or you're just being lazy. One Sin can ruin my whole game, one OP can ruin my whole game, a Jugg., Marauder . . an Arsenal merc, an Advanced Prototype BH. If they get in my face, and just relentlessly chase me, all I can do is kite. In fact the only thing I really enjoy killing is other Sorcs, because if I try to tunnel any other class they just chase me until I barrier, then stand there until the barrier ends to kill me. Needlesss to say, it takes a lot more effort from me, in full min/maxed gear to kill almost any melee class that is chasing me, than it does for them to kill me--and often times even playing at 110% it's still in their favor that they will kill me before I manage to get in a position I can burn them down from.

While it's yet to be seen if it will effect population at all, the T1/2 PvP gear being much more easily accessible could end up boosting the Ranked play queues. I know without a full T2 toon I wouldn't even consider going in.

Full Pistol Whip was such a waste lol. Full Lucky Break, Blaster At Your Side (Unmodified PW), and Scandal was where it was at. With of course your first page options on the Melee or Pistol modifiers, Off the Cuff/End of the Line, Nerf Herder and Narrow Escape.

If you think there is nothing wrong with being able to kill people in a single stun then you need to re-educate yourself on how pvp is supposed to be competitive. Not who can spam their big bombs first with little to no counter-play.

I just got back to the game, and I have to say the pvp seems retardedly unbalanced in both 60 and low-rank lmao. The TTK is so fast it's not even enjoyable. Is there any word on them attempting to fix this?

I don't really mind the stuns. They're obnoxious because you only have one means of breaking them, and its on a ridiculously long cooldown and offers no immunity after you hit it. What I do hate is that Roots and Slows don't apply resolve and have zero recourse. I've literally been rooted from 100% to dead in some unlucky Sniper, Veng Jugg, Carnage Marauder heavy maps.

Not going to flame you, but if you're going make such wildly misleading statements you should back it up with video proof. Because I would love to see you 3v1 three equally geared players on a dps Op/Scoundrel.

Wouldn't matter if they only had a 2k burst, people would still hate them. Since it's almost a universal rule to hate Stealth classes in every MMO.

You've never gotten 480m damage in a single game? Scrub.

At the one minute mark an indicator on the mini-map should pulse the general location every 15 seconds.

Nothing wrong with that. I love GW2's "Longer you play, better you look" type progression. No gear to hide behind, it's all spec and how well you move, and manage cooldowns. Now if only they could replicate the progression of the Spvp/WvWvW metas.
