  1. Bingo! Complete bunch of amateurs. Every "fix" they end up breaking 2 other things, and they can't even post what they are going to try and fix before the servers go down....likely they do not know...they apply the fix then write the patch notes on anything that actually worked and was fixed. I did not notice (or hear about) anything so game breaking that it warranted a third 4-hour down time in 4 days. While it is so important, it warrants taking the servers down on a Friday (again) clearly not so important that it could not wait until the majority of Yanks are tucked up in their beds, so only EU/Asia/Oceanic gets screwed over with losing gametime. These clown really need to get a grip.

    Best/Worst PVP Class

    I have good mobility? I must be missing something....how exactly is that? I slowly walk up to someone to engage combat (granted using my ranged abilities) and I have no means to escape or run away (except walking even more slowly than I entered combat). How is that good mobility?
  3. More sinisterly, whatever game breaking bugs are affecting the game, are affecting the forums...as they NEED to be taken down (again) while the game servers are down. Certainly could not be to prevent people coming on the forums and posting what they think of BW's shoddy patching....no...it must be because the forums require a second maintenance period this week as well.
  4. Probably the fact that despite the 1.3 patch notes, server merges, LFG tool and Rated Wz never made it to the patch. But we'll probably get another vanity pet as more than adequate compensation for our disappointment.
  5. So we'll call this "guy" for the sake of argument...AmonAmarth....gets killed by a PT a few times in a Wz so comes on here to cry. Yes PT Pyro has excellent burst and sustained, mobile, DPS...however, we are absolutely glass cannons. 1 very crappy defensive ability and a fairly long CD. Zero "oh ****" buttons and no means to break combat once we get into a fight...so once we start we either burst the baddie down, or respawn. PTs are generally focussed down in a WZ and we last a couple of seconds in a fight. As with every class (even Marauders, and Assassins) easily beaten, if you know when to interrupt, when to stun and when to LOS. My guess is you are a disgruntled Sorc, who is still trying to mindlessly mash the same buttons you did pre-1.2 and expecting to faceroll everyone....and come crying on here because you cannot anymore.
  6. 1. Rated Wz 2. LFG Tool Since these are likely to "suddenly" not make it in 1.3 24hrs before the patch. Also....Dual Spec
  7. I'm guessing it is because BW thought people would appreciate Saturday downtime a bit more, in order to fix the things they broke with their last "fix". Time will tell if I am just being synical, or all too familiar with how inept the devs are in this game.
  8. I would not pay too much attention to the OP. All she (?) does is call for nerfs and complain about any class that kills her (?) in PvP...which is all of them. Just check her post history. She has no credibility in these forums. The guys that said Pyros have great DPS, but zero escape and really bad defensive CDs was spot on. Once we are in a fight, we either walk away winning, or rezzing...we cannot break combat once we start.
  9. BS I am full DPS Pyro PT (5 pieces of WH Eliminator gear) and I have only ever got the 5k dmg medal 3 times. Rail Shot will certainly NOT take almost 10k in a single shot. Even on 0 expertise. Yes we have a lot of damage, but we are pretty much glass cannons, we go down pretty easily and get focussed straight away to get us off the battlefield. **EDIT - Anyone who says differently is a Sent / Marauder trying to deflect attention away from themselves, to try and prevent nerfs in their dirrection.

    I need an excuse

    My prediction: Ranked Wz will come out to coincide with GW2 release, to try and hold onto as many people as possible. Will only delay a few leaving, not stop them. SWTOR has missed its opportunity and been caught out in too many lies. Anyone who thinks the whole Ranked Wz things was not just a stunt to attract as many re-subbers as possible are gulible enough to stick with this game. A major content feature like that and they could only tell you about its ommision the day before the patch? The patch would have been compiled ready to launch days before the actual release, the fact the sat on Ranked Wz not making it just shows their level of underhandedness they will goto in order to get as many subs as possible. Not to be trusted and not getting any more of my monthly subs. Once my free time is up...I'm out, see you in GW2.
  11. Very recently, I have noticed a lot more pillar humping going on. It annoyed the hell out of me in WoW and annoys me in this. However, I have noticed that people trying to LOS me, my IM seems to follow them around a corner. They might be LOS at the time of impact, but not at the time of firing. Perhaps "smart" missiles is just one more "undocumented feature" of this game. I have also continued to be hit be attacks that have killed me, but have a channel time, and been in the spawn zone with them still ticking away my health.
  12. I also saw this in a Wz yesterday. I think perhaps it is a "clever use" of a known bug. Sometimes...and I am not exactly sure how it gets triggered, but I have been in a Wz where a player used his "group stealth" ability, when that finished, I still seemed to be invisible (properly invisible...not just the ghostly outline), except for my weapon floating in air. Now if I were to unequip my weapon...I would be completely invisible. I had someone targetted in a Wz yesterday that also had that bug, I could only see their lightsaber flinging about. Suddenly the lightsaber also disappeared, but I still had him targetted, and then his cast bar came up that he was planting a bomb. Had it not been for me having him targetted, I would not have seen him trying to plant the bomb and it would have appeared that he stealth planted (I went to the door and AOEd and interrupted him). If someone knew specifically how to get that ability to bug, then it could be abused and used to steath cap or plant. Just my theory on this anyway.

    Cannon Fodder

    As Pyro PT, I certainly do not get farmed by glowsticks. But Merc are easier to shut down than me. Here is a test you can take: Q - You are spamming Tracer Missile, and get interrupted. What do you do? A1 - Stand there and wait for 4 sec interrupt lock and carry on spamming tracer missile. A2 - CC and run away or swap to another ability to use. If you answered A1, then I can see why you feel farmed...also please transfer to my server so I can farm you.
  14. Really bad idea...every match would be just healers left and then trying to kill each other at the end.
  15. Any idea what the reward is? I had the Ilum weekly still when the patch hit. It reset the quest so I needed 150 kills again. Just about to finish it.
  16. Yes they do...had several recipes come back with lockbox missions...you can also get the Inherited tokens from slicing missions. Lockbox missions are borked atm. It is only the moderate missions that give a return greater than the cost of the mission.
  17. Armstech is a license to print money now. Crit crafted orange weapons, and they make the augments everyone wants (Crit, Power, Surge) lvl 49 purple crit augments are going for 100k+ on my server....and since nobody was Armstech before 1.2, you have the market cornered. Just team up with a slicer, for the recipes and mats for blues and purples....and laugh all the way to the bank.
  18. People leave a Wz now because of the new system of win/loss rewards. People are not willing to spend 15 mins on a losing battle, when they will get no creds, little to no Valour and 20-40 comms....when they could quit, and potentially join a winning Wz. I do not agree with quitting, just saying I understand why it happens. I also do not agree with rewarding for losing...there needs to be a difference...but it also needs to be worth people's while to fight a losing battle...not sure of the solution. The new win/lose difference since 1.2 has made people quitting Wz a lot worse.
  19. It does not work with the new gear...no Armorings ingame have the set bonus linked to them. Hopefully just an oversight (fixed with today's patch perhaps?) and not just another 1.2 promise BW was lying about.
  20. Call me a bluff old traditionalist, but wasn't that BW intention to nerf healing? They stated quite clearly, Ops, and Sage/Sorc healing was performing well above what it was intended and that 1.2 would be adjusting them to come into line with what they intended. They also said that affected classes never appreciate what they consider to be a nerf, but that the changes were needed....guess they were right on that one. I have done quite a few Wz yesterday and today, and have noticed Ops and Sages seems easier to control, but have also ran into several who have adapted to the changes and are just as effective. Conclusion: If you are still in the same spec and mash the same buttons to try and do the same job as before, you will never succeed. The changes were intended to stop easy-mode healing...those that can and do put a bit more thought into it now, are still able to do well. From a DPS point of view....my ability to close down a healer is a lot better now...not because I am better, or you got nerfed....but because my target's cast bar is right in the middle of my screen now, and quite large....I never get distracted now and miss an interrupt. The ability for UI customisation has made my interrupting job a lot easier. Thank-you BW
  21. ....still looking....still hoping. Been killing random mobs on Hoth, just in case...nothing so far.
  22. •Players can now remove Armoring modifications that have set bonuses from items and transfer those set bonuses to Custom (orange) items. These modifications can only be transferred to an item that is equipped in the same slot. This does not apply to all items with a set bonus, only those where the set bonus is attached to the Armoring modification.
  23. friendly bump for a hopeful hint or response.
