Basically, you are complaining about the imaginary cost, in imaginary credits, of an imaginary item, in an imaginary game.
It's like complaining "I spent $2000 on a Hotel on Park Place, but nobody landed on it!"
Most Guilds buy a flagship for the "wow" factor, not just the 5% bonus, etc. It's sort of like spending 1 million credits on the GTN for a piece of armor that's no better than any other orange armor, stats-wise. It's the bling, not the stats.
I'm going to use my imagination and pretend you didn't try and troll this post with the "It's the bling, not the stats" ..thanks for the derailing.
and I do appreciate those who completely understand what I'm getting at here...
I didn't even bring up the 1.5+ million for each armoring and barrel I spent on my HK-51 ...not to mention the RANKED mods enhancements he had... all to be squished into "valuable droid parts" that I sold for a whopping $125k
9 x 1.5 million = $125k? no.

In other forums, a "carebear" is someone who loves helping Newbies, explain things to them, etc. - so, from this perspective, people who use this term as an insult don't want Newbies to get any tips & tricks ...
"in other forums..." does not apply to this post. "carebear" is someone who only does PVE.
-
Hijack!
What is this carebear you speak of?
Now that is a term I haven't heard in a while. Like weaksauce, lamer, nugget, man there are a lot of terms for those not PvP inclined.
Open world PvP will never work until they go all the way, every man for himself and friendly fire. Now that is a server I would jump on.
a "carebear" is a term I picked up from Eve Online... people who do NOT do PVP at all.

Prophecy of the Five PVP server (to set the precedent)
Guild Flagship : $50 million credits.
Actual Uses : 5% buff to Damage/Healing/Survivability/Hit Points, Group "Summon" (which of course works best when you're on the same planet already)
Enter the villain... SWTOR:KotFE and its little buddy... PLANETARY SCALING.
Planetary Scaling renders the flagship buff useless. There is no difference in stats between planetary buffed toon and someone who is not. $50 million pretty much half down the drain, not to mention any time you have given a planet Orbital Support since the patch... that's $50k a pop as well.. (make all the cheapskate comments you want, it's the principle)
Albeit the summon still works, but the entire reason for getting this ship is the mechanics it provides, and half of which no longer works.
so far, the response to this has literally been "oh well..."
Another friend that joined us is the Heroic mission quick travel. This essentially makes mounts and planets pretty much irrelevant and just another piece of superfluous graphic. Mounts used to be necessary to get you around planets, but with this new QT for heroics, once you've done your story there is no reason to travel anywhere on planets.
This obvious world pvp wrecker reminds me of this automatic access to every taxi on the planets. ...why do that?
What exactly is wrong with having to run around and discover stuff on planets? What's wrong with running in to someone who wants to beat you up? (It still baffles me that someone on a PVP server would use /say to tell you "if you want combat queue for warzones" when you engage them out in open world areas)
There is literally no reason to go anywhere but Fleet or your own personal stronghold or ship. You can leave the starter planets and level to 65 skipping all the story by doing flashpoints and warzones... or you can blindly wander through the story pretty much upgrading your gear twice from 1 to 65 due to the scaling you receive most of the time.
I also noticed that for some reason, gear isn't taking much damage anymore either.. so I reckon there is no reason to be careful doing anything.
Was this simply a response to the PVE people crying about being jumped all the time?
Is anyone aware they put an invisible wall at the Lower Industrial taxi stand on Nar Shaddaa? that's the only one I've found you can't jump on anymore... and I know the only reason it's there is some of you complained and filed tickets against my characters and guild for trashing that place all the time.
It doesn't make sense to offer a PVP server and then do everything you can to prevent it from happening unless offering a PVP server is something you regret...
makes no difference, we'll always find a way to beat up carebears.
-
the first response is the precise reason why I never go to these forums for a straight answer...
someone brings up a completely valid observation, response from the community : "ur just a bad"
-
I believe the could resolve this issue by doing the following:
- Return Resolve back to the way it was prior to 1.4.
- Allow any and all CC affect the resolve bar, including slows, mezzes, ect...
- Allow the resolve bar to decay after 10 seconds and be emptied by 15 seconds after it is full.
- Resolve bar does not decay for 15 seconds if it is partially filled. If no stuns or other CC effects, it decays normally after 15 seconds.
- Resolve bar does not start decaying while in respawn area or out of combat.
- Reduce the CD on the CC breaker down to 1 minute and reset on death.
If they would do that, I believe you'd see a better PvP environment allowing players to do what they come to PvP for and not be 'stun locked' to death or lose complete control of their characters as it happens now with great regularity.
Then the use of stuns, CCs, and all other controlling effects become real tactical and strategic decisions. This would mean they'd need to rework the amount the stuns put into the resolve bar. Maybe reduce hard stuns by 5% or 10% while leaving the others alone. That way you don't have everyone immune immediately and their uses are still viable.
sounds fine

PVP in Swtor
in PvP
BioWare really needs to go download some other games and find out how to really make PVP real and fun. They have a few PVP servers, but nobody wants to do open world pvp because ...why?
"no reason to.. you don't get any rewards for it" is one of the big ones. solution? Eve Online, DC Universe, and Rift come to mind...
-
The majority of the problem lies in the fact that "the Internet is anonymous", so kids feel that they've been granted license to smack talk every single person they come across... Maybe they have daddy issues or something..
point is, these "people" don't seem to understand the foundation of MMO gaming is the SOCIAL COHESION that pulls it all together. Most of them simply come across as brats with such famous sayings as:
"kill yourself" (probably the worst and most obnoxious... also a felony)
"sooooooo bad" (MOST do this after winning a fight... because you know, winning isn't enough)
"ur a bad" (which particularly annoys me because "bad" isn't a noun)
"L2P/learn to play" (not worth commenting on this)
"uninstall" or "delete your toon" ...why?
Then, or course, if you respond to any of this, you're facing a torrent of juvenile berating such as "u mad bro" and all the other "bro" related "trolling" that people do... There's really no point in any of this, and all it does is make the game trashy and lame...
...and you know these are the same idiots who sit around in general chat saying "this game is dead"
I am curious though... to all of you who insist on smack talking... ...does it make you a better player? do you win harder? do you get more warzone comms for telling someone they're "a bad"?
no. you don't.

when I started my guild it was the first thing I looked for... guild options are pretty lackluster here.
-
ehh.. no. I don't have time to keep track of who's who on that list... no interest in it either.. if I block someone, it's pretty much a permanent thing.
like that doofus who constantly talks about THOR every single time he logs in and has been doing so for nearly a year... no WAY he's coming off my ignore list.
-
I am logged in, and clicking away at stuff... but now I'm "away from keyboard" I don't get this timeout.. why? just remove it.
-
With all the gold spammers in game it would be NICE if there was no limit on the ignore list... I don't understand why there is one in the first place.. we should be able to ignore as many players in the game as we want.
98% of my ignore list is gold spammers.. the other two are the guy who always tells everyone they're "poor" and brags about his stupid computer that mommy and daddy bought him, and the complete and utter toolbag who constantly blathers crap about THOR every time he logs in.
-
that's the general idea... add roles in the guild ranks.
-
OW is the only place that expertise matters fully. In wzs expertise is muffled by bolster. It needs to stay relevant.
Or remove expertise completely from the game - I would not oppose that but know a lot of pvers that would be angry if pvp rewarded competitive pve gear (a requirement for removing expertise). Just last night in a random lvl 50 hm on a pvp server someone asked why pvp gear was better than classic gear....
how about removing BOLSTER from 55 warzones?

If you had the software that detects website addresses in general chat it would help significantly in blocking spam.
It might be a good idea to have an official thread for reporting web addresses that appear in general chat and then they can be blocked from view in general chat like swear words would be except nobody could read them. This would annoy people who are doing this. They might have to give it up and only sell to users who search for these sites on their own. This would work for mail as well or for any chat. At least if users search for these sites on thier own we the honest players will not even know.
I think you need to gain an understanding of what SPAM *IS* before you come up with ideas for blocking it.

o.O
I don't know about you, but my female bounty hunter is wearing armor. If you're female characters are wearing the slave bikini, that's all on you (and yes people, it's WAY WAY WAAAAY over done
)That said, I think the Black Talon Marauder Jacket and all it's copies in different colors and some with armored shoulders are what is sexy! Doesn't matter what gender the character wearing it is, it's sexy!
That said, port Aspiring Jedi Vest for females and males to Empire side! Add a hood to the Agile Judgement vest (and it's copies)! Well, don't add a hood to those, but make a version of it with a hood down!
I think someone needs to get a little sunshine... ..maybe interact with some actual humans? you're talking about pixels here.

No. Move to a PVE server.
Edit: Also, let me add that anytime I have ever killed anyone in a daily area, some random planet such as Oricon, blackhole, section x whereever it may have been. Mainly Black Hole and Section x, it was because I was already there. I saw them. I attacked them. I either won, or loss. I was in full PVP gear because well, I don't own PVE gear on most of my guys and if I did I really couldn't be bothered to actually change for dailies. Something my PVP gear would easily carry me through.
So, this whole myth of people sitting around waiting is just retarded. Not once in the two years have I ever seen people actually sit around and wait for someone to gank. They might go cruising around looking for some pvp. But I have never seen people actually camp and wait.
I do that.. there's plenty of places to sit and wait for some unsuspecting slob to wander in to...
-
If this thread is irrelevant why did you necro it?
Also if you are stunned four times you will have full resolve, period.
Stop exaggerating
hey.. sorry.. I'm not 12 years old.. *** does "necro it" mean in regards to a thread...
-
title pretty much explains it all...
I'd like to be able to send a single mail out to all of my guild members.
Also had lots of people talking about forming alliances of guilds... We should be able to form an alliance with a name.
-
honestly, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard anyone suggest.
-
just curious, but where did this ganking occur? What was the guild name of the toon who ganked you?
-
hello
i am writing because i am already tired. "bioware" why pvp servers have low population? Most players on pvp servers only play pve and it is humiliating as some rookie for example operativ with pvp gear waiting for you without any achivment of operation. In the process of doing daily quests. Acquiring equipment pve with hardmode and nightmare is far more difficult than to farm warzones. I have talked with many people about this, many supports this idea. Even with the whole set of nightmare can not compete with expertise., do it so that expertise to work only in the warzone plz?
Ppl plz reply what do u think about it
move your toon to a pve server.
-
yep. this thread is irrelevant.
Stunned twice and full resolve bar? ODD... For the past few weeks I've been getting stunned up to 4 times and never getting full resolve, but SHOCK (sorcerer ability) has been granting people full resolve.
nothing broken here, move along.

"L2P"
you're missing the point kid..
telling people to "learn to play" is the sign of an idiot. grow up and contribute something intelligent. I'm fully aware of all the facts.. the cooldowns are shorter on my dots.. I know this. you're just missing the point.
