Life Pull back + Bubble, See what i did there? Really dont see *** there thinking with rated WZ when so many core issues are still around. You don't build the 2nd floor on a house while the first floor is still getting its foundation laid.

He must be one of the lol all is fine Tracer/grav spam or hybrid sage/sorc players. Ya bud some of us want this game to work with a passion of a thousand burning suns, but when issues that were brought up in BETA several times and never even addressed and made it to launch to still not even be fixed, along with other piling problems the sun starts to dim.

One prob with that, 99% of the people you run into dont know what teamwork is let alone how to play the map. So ya flaw in your logic there. Has been said time an time again, when only winning matters then there is no reason to hang around in a loss. Its just simple logic, not gonna smash my had on a wall an be all happy sunshine we can do it team even though that guy just walked right through the fire with the ball, or stood there dancing as they caped the turret in front of your face, or better yet yay you got that kill as you tunneled the sorc laughing at you while his buddy planted on the door.

Yes lets put rated in while abilitys still dont go off half the time along with random FPS drops in WZ for no given reasons and the countless other issues wrong atm. There are some major issues that need to be fixed before you can even think of a rating system. I also predict any of the top rated are going to be Sage/sorc Jug/Guard teams, really no reason to be anything else with what combined they bring.

Sorry to say with WoWs effect on most new players to the MMO world i highly doubt we will ever see a game and community of such a level as DaoC again. What id give for the old days when you could ask a simple request or question in chat and not get rofl nub **** l2p ect ect. Doubt most these kids make it past day one back in EQ1 time. Ahh good times indeed, How they will be missed.

Im on the same boat, I WANT this game to work. I WANT to stay here when GW2 goes live, But as it stands i have no reason to keep at it. Endgame pvp is just, Are you BM? No k you dead or fail, Are you Sage/Sorc? Nope then your a wasted spot. Only thing atm keeping me here is my last buddy trying to tuff it out, but he is at witts end to. We rerolled Pub due to the pop issue and guess what, EVERY wz other night was pub vs pub huttball. O i will add the space combat is half decent nothing like SWG but it is one of two reasons i still log in.

Its the fact you can be CC to death thats the issue. A stun should not be the factor of a kill, a lucky crit or well placed interrupt or even a root. NOT a stun when all you have is a break with 2min CD. I should expect to die when jumping into a large group because im outnumbered, not out stunned. Could not even tell you how many times Force choke (which is a stun) has guaranteed me a kill.

I can think of 20 other people in my guild including myself, some even BM that have given up on the 50 bracket. Its just a fight of the have an have nots, Sure i can do the grind an be a have and rofl stomp the nots all day but i could have stayed in WoW to do that. Is it to much to ask for PvP where skill will always mean more then gear?

Simple and easy fix, trash this fail red headed step child called Resolve and pick up a DR system like, hate to say it WoW. Or at least one darn close to it. Love how a 10 sec stun hardly fills the bar and can be hit by a 6 sec in combat one right after it for full duration. Would also love a Knock back debuf system like Warhammers, or something at least to make huttball not a matter of stacking sage/sorc and jugg/guard.

Its just more proof there support system is pure and total useless, they dont care. They only go after petty stuff it seems, Got a warning today for insulting others when the guy i was responding to was full on trash talking me and the only slur i had in my reply was "idiot" along with back on topic fact and theory craft. The fact on Fatman that fight and foad are still active along with a few other guilds proves they dont give two licks about exploiters. Heck we booted a guy from are guild at launch for exploiting/hacks (Always seems to drop under the map in huttball when he gets the ball) and they are still playing today, even know people that have sold there accounts and are still active. Want this game to work really do, But at this rate i think they dont.

My guild rerolled Pub after getting sick of so many exploiters and pure idiots on emp side, No fun having every wz over in 120 sec... But we have been seeing a mass influx of bad, trolls, and general Droman Kas quality people on republic. Hope they offer server X fers soon or something, maybe even faction changes at this rate (Not much fun to do the BM grind after the 3rd or so time).

Then make them mean less, and change daily's from Win to played. See that, now people have a reason to play the map and pvp not leave at the first sight of it going sour or being useless and farm medals the whole game and ignore the objective.

What about the ones that did yet still get stuck with ppl just as bad as emp? Not always greener on the other side.

I called it at launch, why im still putting up with all the BS on fatman.

I like joining the Huttballs that kick me before i even make it out the gate, Should i get a penalty cause the game counts loading as being in the match?

Most constructive post i have ever seen in the PvP forums. But these are a few simple fixes that would go a hella long way to fix things. +1 To the Op

Im sorry, where in my post do i make note of raids? O ya i didn't. I will agree watch/anni is massive damg, dots always are in the long run, in shorter hardmode encounters a GS/sniper WILL pull ahead, also the fact range can stay on target in most raid encounters also when melee has to run. But that's the whole stack melee vs range debate.

Because it be a waste of time to play and tape a suboptimal spec. Ya it sucks for the less skilled that its the best tree and also highest skill floor tree but do you really want another easy rofl 1-2 button spam class?

Make it 3 warzones played/9 played not win then ill feel more inclined to stay with people that walk the ball into are own goal line. As others have said in its current state the game does not reward a loss or even encourage you to stay and fight it out, Wins are all that matter till you have full BM gear given how gear dependent this bull shat system is yet again.

I have played a PT, and sniper to 50. Also have a 22 Commando, 22 Shadow, 20 op and 32 sorc. My sent is 23 atm and other then my sniper NONE of them have been able to do what i can on my sent. Its not being a jerk or elitist, but it really comes down to a L2P issue. The class if anything is borderline OP when played right, heck wish my sniper could pull off the numbers i have seen sent/marauders do. And i dont mean total damg at end of wz but effective damg, 600k+ and less then 30 kills = Bad sniper, 300-600K marauder/sent pretty much always have 30+ KB unless there spamming AoE to stat pad. Its all about applying damg in a manner that yields a kill, something this class excels at.

You cant really "show" keybinds, Its a feel for where the skill is and your finger placement. Unless you have a naga most dont go past the 5 key. Use Alt,Shift, Ctl, R,E,F, and Q as modifier keys. If you have a naga you can do all that with the added use of 1 to = at your thumb, Its all about muscle memory and feeling the flow of the binds. IE dont have your main attack the farthest from your reach, save that for a long CD or medpack ect, something you will use in a certain encounter.

Will never understand why A,D are set to turn by default. Its like the Devs want people to be clickers and turners. Its not being elitest its just common sense, i mean your not gona try and hold you fork with your foot at dinner are you? Somethings are just not efficient simple as that, and those things are clickers and turners.

I take it you have never grouped with a good sniper/gunslinger, my marauder buddy (anni spec) cant stand having me in his party. Orbital on packs, snipe to follow through and series on boss and elites, nothing lives long enough short of a boss for him to start on. At the same time he loves me lol, we have never hit an enrage on any boss while we dps, heck we have even saved the day when the heals an tank fail and bite it. Swap argo and kite ftw, pretty decent combo for hard modes.

You sir need to play D&D, great game with a group of friends. Back to topic, Ya it would do nothing to hurt them late game as nearly every attack thats not from a sniper pretty much ignores most armor anyhow... "Cough Sage/sorc Cough"

On the up side if they did id be less inclined to leave WZ if there are fewer bads on my team...This just may work.
