what people need to understand is that the 3 medal minimum was not intended as a punishment for bads to keep them from ever getting gear. it is a deterant for afkers. now, if the point is to discourage people from afking, a 1 medal minimum is really all that is required.

QQ. little to no range dps, for one thing. survivability=a tanks JOB stealth=core mechanic of class melees dps comes from wearing dps gear. NOT the class being "OP". any tank class can wear dps gear. it doesnt make the class overpowered. its just evidence that tanking stats are worthless and dps stats are overbalanced. L2P

id like to see ur source on that.

well iv got a free month so im happy. and just because it isnt ranked yet doesnt mean its not competitive. as i said earlier, since 1.2 iv seen 0 people afk-ing in a match, and teams on both sides are much more effective and objective oriented. because now you need to win to get the shinies quickly. its much more fun this way.

haha ill believe it when its true. honestly these whiners.... never satisfied.

i love how these peeps talk about the "pvp community".... you are NOT part of the pvp community. you are the "GIVE SHINY NOW!" community, composed of very young players who have been convinced by the new WoW that everything should be easily acquired in a few weeks. the REAL pvp community found pvp boring and tedious because it was not competitive. now it is. KUDOS bioware. you very much in touch with the pvp community. im glad i stuck it out for 1.2

sounds like your guild was garbage. im sorry but if you cant get 3 medals now u suck. you can get 5 medals just by standing next to a captured objective. and i guess you dont have a 50? bioware just gave me a free month for having a 50 on april 12th. sucks for you....

the system is perfect now. now winning MATTERS. since the patch iv seen 0 afkers, and the teams iv been on, including pugs, have been more competitive and objective oriented than ever. PVP used to be a dull, medal grinding deathmatch. now its a blast.

you are glossing over my question and refusing to answer it because you CANT. you should run for office.

exactly. they only have 1. and it takes 1 second longer to do damage than shock. maybe he just doesnt notice because theres no channel bar. Maybe he just doesnt know cuz hes bad. maybe the reason he talks in past tense is cuz he quit. maybe cuz you dont get anything for less than 3 medals anymore.

yeah iv got a sniper a bastion. ur server is dead btw. and i know you. i used to pop you all the time.

L2READ. i said an ADVANTAGE OVER inqs. the inq version of all those abilities is also instant. shock instant project NOT what instant ability do consulars have that inqs dont? L2THINK

then quit. but dont spout off garbage you know nothing about. and frankly i doubt youve pvped more than 2 or 3 matches if you really think 1 second doesnt make a HUGE difference.

1 second makes a huge difference to a lot of people. its the entire basis of why people are bothered so much by the heal nerf. i notice you failed to enlighten me on an advantage consulars have to offset the weakness. comon man... i thought you knew EVERYTHING

well i just gave 2 instances of it mattering. mirror SHOULD equal clone, unless sages have an advantage to offset the weakness. now tell me: what advantage do consulars have over inquisitors to offset the project delay? ill give you a hint. it starts with n and it rhymes with nun.

I didnt feel like it was that big a deal either, until that difference became the reason for two victories. that single ability difference was the difference between winning and losing. they need to make a decision. if they want the classes to be different, they need to make them DIFFERENT and actually put effort into balancing them. If they dont want to put in effort, they need to make the mirrors EXACTLY the same. theyre doing it half-assed and there is no excuse for that.

idk how many times i have to say this is NOT an assassin qq thread... but fine. the fault does not lie with the assassin class. people are owning by WEARING DPS GEAR as a tank (btw im a tank, and i wear tank gear.) ANY class can wear dps gear as a tank. The GEAR people are using does not justify a nerf to the CLASS. it is very dangerous to mess with tanking trees. very small adjustments can make tanks VERY useless in pve. and yes i know this is a pvp forum but you CANT break half of the game in order to fix the other half. if a sniper wears enforcer gear (for operatives) should we nerf that class because the gear makes him less squishy than intended? it is an inane argument.

its not a bug. project has an animation. the damage/interrupt is not applied until the end of the animation. shock has no such animation. it is instant. the fact is, if me and a MIRROR class play the exact same way, we should have the exact same results. but that is not the case. Poor design.

im completely serious. shock is instant, and project has about a .5 second delay.

i play on the empire side in fatman. i have an assassin. im posting here because i noticed a huge flaw in the mirror class that can only be explained by poor design. Project has an animation that takes about .5 seconds to deal damage to a target. The inquisitor equivalent, Shock, is instant. Twice, i have won Voidstar purely because of this discrepancy. in the first case, i was planting on the last door, and an opposing sage came running to me. just as i was about to finish he used Project, but i was able to finish planting before the attack actually hit me. The second time, it was the opposite. i was stunned, being forced to watch two opponents planting the final door. at the very last second my stun expired, and i was able to stun one and shock the other at literally the last possible moment. If i had been a Consular, i would not have been able to interrupt the second planter in time.

perhaps you should read the context in which something is said before you bash it. i was mocking another posters tendency to use big blue letters.

maybe you should actually read the patch notes before you cry. fail. legacy abilities will require heroic moment to be active. heroic moment CANNOT be used in pvp. in fact, in the weekly q+a, when asked if legacy abilities would be active in pvp, a dev replied "absolutely not."

god dude your priorities are really messed up. you do realize ur playing game right? if the shiny is all important, than buy recruit gear and keep working toward the next shiny. if you enjoy playing the game, it shouldnt matter. so what if the gear you "earned" is worthless now? you can immediately replace it. and you still spent all that time p[laying a GAME and having fun. now, if you didnt have fun, maybe you should be playing a different game.

in 1.2 any orange can be made equivalent to any purple. if you dont like the look just rip the mods out. problem solved.

yes and also bear in mind that BW is buffing expertise, tho they havnt given specifics.
