Why so serious brah?

Try hards will be try hards... What are you gonna do? I wouldn't worry about it to much. My guild is heavily focused on pretty much everything. We have 500 members, and sure we have a few people like that, but its not enough to bring the whole guild down. Plus with a guild that size, you get to choose who you want to roll with and usually people like to roll with me. It's nothing to cry about or bring attention too. After all, it's an online MMO, and there are always try hards. Don't let them ruin your fun.

Why is this becoming such a hard concept to grasp?

They are not gonna fix anything. Earlier today, I reported a bug and a customer service rep contacts me and ask: CS: How can I help you Me: There is this bug that is preventing me from doing this, this, and this. CS: Oh, that's a known bug. *Switches on Auto messages* CS: Anything else I can help you with? Me: (Wow, eff you too), No, Thanks. -.- EDIT: Btw this bug has been here for a long time, and they still have not fixed it!

So... Why didn't Bioware hire you?

The server I play on, The Courageous, is pretty balanced. It's a low pop sever but pvp is intense between The Republic Legacy (The guild I'm in) and Anatomy. The two biggest guilds on the server. Come to our server guys! We could use more players!

You really have no idea what you are talking about... Sorcerers are a mirror of the Sage. If one is nerfed, both must be nerfed. To say one bubble is stronger than the other is just foolish. Unless you have proof, screen shots, combat logs, or anything that can compare the two in the same situation, then come back and rant.

A jedi has a knockback because he has force push... It's seen in the movie and lore... Can't really take that way from the game because it's a star wars game

Knockbacks are fine. Just learn how to position yourself. Stay in the middle of the bridges, don't fight near the fire pit or acid pit. I could complain out some other skills too, but I know how to beat them. I know how to play.

You must be that less Athletic kid on your elementary school's basketball team. You must be use to getting participation trophies. The answer is no. You need to win. Yes we Rebs have a hard time, but it's not completely hopeless. Quit crying, and find a way to win. It's people like you that make the Reb side really horrible.

Look at the combat log. Oh wait...

QQ some more and L2P noob.

This is not a flame thread, nor is it a troll thread. I just want to shed some light on the situation and how to actually play smarter, and fight smarter. This is only concerning Warzones. Note: I think Ilum is a complete joke so I will not discuss it. It's lame, laggy, and just stupid. Now as we all know, gear seems to be a big factor in Swtor PvP. Well there are ways to mitigate that and at least even it out some. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind going in as a new Level 50 into PvP: - Acknowledge that you are at a disadvantage - Try to find a different roll or strategy other than your "run and gun" or "pew, pew, kill, kill, stabby, stab, stab" style of play - Don't roll as a PUG, but roll with guild mates - Try to gear up as best you can - Play smarter and use smarter tactics - Not all geared 50s are god Acknowledging You are the Rookie Not a lot people like to hear that they are the underdog, but lets face reality, you are. You are the rookie, the new blood, the fresh meat, The Newbie, and whatever other terms you want to describe a new player. Imps and Pubs alike will feed on you if you don't Acknowledge how much of a disadvantage you are. Geared 50s will do more damage to you, take less damage from you, and roflstomp you like a pancake. You also need to acknowledge that the 10-49 Bracket is a joke compared to the 50 bracket. It requires a different style of gameplay until you are geared. Once you are geared, you can go back to your old ways. However, you may become even smarter from this. Yes you have to be carried around a bit, but you don't have to be a complete liability to your team. Trying out a new roll other than "Run and Gun" (THIS IS NOT AN FPS!!!) Well now that you have acknowledge that you are at a clear disadvantage, it's time to find another way to use your class. I was like you once before, a new Level 50 Jedi Guardian. At first I thought, "Hey, I can do the same stuff and it will still work!" Wrong! I got my @$S handed to me, time and time again. My highest crit, if I was lucky, was 1k! Eventually I got sick of it, but I didn't come here to b*tch about how I was getting stomped by people with better gear. Lets face it, whether they earned it the right way or wrong way, they have the gear. Nothing is going to change that, and Bioware is not going to take it away (This goes along with acknowledging that you are a disadvantage). So I decided, well let me help my team more instead. Lets scrap this skill count and damage crap and try something else. As a Guardian I moved towards protection. Throughout warzones, I guard floated, taunted, and used challenging call often. My result was better survivability for my team. I didn't throw damage out completely, as you need to do that from time to time of course. I got Medals and eventually I got geared. Now I use both protection and Damage to the fullest and my kill count has gone up. Did I enjoy this style of play? Not at first. But I learned something new about my class, in that it has more utility and more team viability than I thought. Put away your hero hat, hero button, or anything that has to do with heroics. You're cannon fodder, so live with it for now. You're a grunt, you're a soldier. You will just die if you do this. This is not an FPS, so of course, you need to think differently. I must admit to you, I don't have much experience with other classes (Who are not heal classes), but there are other ways to use your class other than the whole run and gun series. Now I'm just going off on a tangent, and if you have more information how to play any other class, please post it below and I'll edit it in. Don't roll with the PUGs, Roll with your Mates (Guild)! Have you ever rolled with a PUG group? Have you ever noticed how badly you lose at times, and then sometimes curb stomp the hell out of the other team in the lower bracket? I will be the first, and not the last to tell you this, DON'T DO IT! The Level 50 bracket brings more game so you need capable teammates that you are comfortable communicating with. You may also have guild mates who are better geared than you. Guilds are a great tool (As long as it's the right guild) and you have more of a chance to win! When I was like you (Getting stomped), I decided to get my guild into the PvP scene. Come to find out, there were already several people in my guild who have been pvping for a while. Rolling with them, learning from them, and gaining experience from them will help you in the long run. Lastly, don't run off alone. The worst thing you could do it go off by yourself. You will definitely get destroyed. There's no other way I can say it. Stick with your team, or stick with someone. I'm not saying you win every Warzone, but you will more than before. Plus you'll have more fun playing the game with people who have a common goal. Gear up as best you can/When you can As a new blood, you need to gear yourself up to at least level 50 blue mods. Green ones won't cut it, and even though you may not have expertise, you will survive longer and you will have more HP. Go a head and grab the level 46 pvp weapon that gives you 25 expertise (Like 500 WZ commendations). Expertise will help you live even more and it boost your damage a bit. Even though it's below 1 percent that .74% will take you a long way, especially when facing other Ungeared 50s who were not smart enough to do the same. You can be better than the average bear, trust me. Intelligence and Tactics Intelligence and tactics are key in this game. The Numbers game does matter, and if you are not careful, you will get stomped. You're new (Yes I'm sure you're sick of hearing this), but not stupid. If you use most of the stuff above, I'm sure you are intelligent. This game comes down to tactics, pay attention to how many allies you have around and how many they have around them. Communicate with your team, and try to keep in mind who is geared on the other team. Try and smash down the ones who are not geared first, this will take some damage away from your geared allies so they can take down the big guys. Or you can pressure the healers, however, if they are geared, call them out so your geared friends can help bring him down. Use a different role that your class has to offer (As I discussed above). There are other ways in aiding your team, and you need to keep that in mind. All geared 50s God? No. You can polish a turd, but it will always be a turd. Just because someone is geared to the teeth, does not necessarily mean they are good. Let me tell you guys about a match I was in while I was still new to PvP. We were playing Civil War (Alderraan), and we started the match off great. We did the basic, send 1 left, 6 mid, and 1 right. Well the imps, they all came down the middle, and smashed us (Mind you, they had a few BMs and some pretty solid geared 50s). But no one was sent right. We then began to hold bases after that. They noobish things like, over pursuits, they healed on every small bit of damage, and they even moved as a mob. Needless to say we won the match. Now I'm not saying all of the Geared 50s are like this. There are some that are "Godlike." and will obliterate you. But that's why we play smart right? Even they can be killed. Conclusion Now I just discussed basic stuff and not advance things (Like how to get geared and what not). Just trying to help out some of you new guys. I feel your pain, but it's not gonna change anytime soon, so take this as a learning opportunity. Again, I'm not complaining, not flaming, or anything like that. Think before you troll this thread because I will flag you. Constructive feedback is nice, criticism is not, but trolling, name calling, and insults I will not tolerate. Act like adults, if you are (17 or younger) don't act your age, try to act older and intelligent (As hard as it may be for some of you). Sorry I made this long, so if you don't read it, I understand. But you're missing out if you are a new 50 or have yet to hit 50. My Regards.

It's gonna hurt for a while but try taking more of a support role and help your team instead of trying to go "pew, pew, kill, kill." There are other stats in the warzones that have an affect on your teams success. Like protection for instance, healing, or just getting objectives. Use tactics and go into WZs with your guild for better communication so you don't get roflstomped. If you are a DPS AC, then take a support role and don't be the first time fight. Otherwise they will just pick you off and farm you.

Expertise is not the end all of everything. It's usually the player. Yea, as a new 50 you need to consider yourself a "rookie" of sorts. Basically starting at a low role and working your way up. I hit 50 two days ago, and yeah I was absolutely getting destroyed the first few times I went out there. Now, luckily for me, I'm in a great guild and we know what we are doing on our server. Instead of me, trying to go out there and kill everyone, I decided to take up a different role. In PvP we have a variety of stats: Damage Protection Kill Count Death Count Healing As a Jedi Guardian, I decided not to worry about kill count and damage. I worked more on protection and damage just came natural (When I had to damage someone). This game is based more on teamwork rather than a one man army that can roflstomp everyone. This helped my team more than anything, as they lived longer and we actually stood a chance against some of those geared 50s. Find ways to help your team win, rather than trying to do something you can't. Obviously if you play a DPS class, you need to move yourself to a support role (Yea, don't be the first to fly into battle). Yea you're not gonna get tons of medals (and why should you? You're a rookie remember), but you should be able to at least get 4 - 5 medals a game and 6 if you do your job well enough. Be aware of who you are attacking, and keep in mine how many allies are around you and how many they have with them. This game requires common sense and more tactics than any mmo I have seen so far. Expertise makes a difference in a warzone, but not to much of a difference. As long as you have superior tactics, good teammates, you should be able to beat those bad BM's who just grinded all day or outright didn't earn it themselves. War isn't far, and rightfully so it shall be. EDIT: Let me also put into perspective and use some real life examples. If Somalia armed there army of peasants with all of the State of the Art US gear but didn't train them and they decided to go against a less armed force, but more experience force (Say Egypt). Yea Somalia would do some damage, but in the end they would lose because of lack of training, and lack of experience. Just because someone has full BM gear doesn't mean they are good. You can still beat them, it's about being smart and using tactics.

That makes no sense, they have open mod slots for a reason.

Are you guys planning on adding Guild Space Stations Or Guild Flagships? It would be like a guild base and it's a cool idea

Troll.

He's a troll bro. Duh.

You should use the word "Roflstomp" instead of Curb stomp. Great post btw!

It's just another QQ thread ladies and gentlemen. More news at 11!
