sorry to disappoint man. I have some rep chars but will be playing imps if I switch back to rep side im sure youll see me post again ;p

Hi red eclipse. after a few couple months out (I quit just after 2.0) came out. I have come back to game and have been levelling an arsenal merc I hit lvl 55 last night so now I feel its time to look for a guild in which I can have fun do good end game content pvp, dailys and so on and have a good time doing it, so heres what im looking for. im not looking for a die hard progression based guild that is gonna end up leaving me out for awhile but im not looking for a completely social guild that is yet to clear most content. my previous experience in this game dates back to early access and bar a couple of short breaks for real life and the recent couple months out. so I have done many things in this game. mostly I was on rep side but have done bit of raiding in past imp side. not that theres a difference. my previous expeirance with raids is as follows Eternity vault 8man sm/hm/nim cleared Karraga's Palace 8m sm/hm/nim cleared Explosive Conflict 8man sm/hm cleared yet to do nim as was always overlooked before for a select group. Terror from beyond (pre 55) sm and hm cleared. my main experience then was with vanguard dps but disisded to level merc rather than play my pt as well main reason is I love the playstyle and well heartseeeker missle animation ;p. My characters name is Reiani if you wish to get in contact im on everyday barring something coming up between about 1:30pm through to about midnight 1am GMT, if you wish to no more please contact me as I don't feel the forums is the proper place for personal details. Many thanks and hope to hear from someone soon

Wot id like to see if and when a new expansion would be this. 1. Some new species and not something lame like cathar who only have a few customization optiond. So races lije nautalons (my fav species). Kaleesh and kel dor along with tugruta maybe ithorians rodians and trandosians. Would love my merc to be trandoshian. 2. Continued class storys and not just new planet storys. Stuff that continues the players story not just the war story. 3. New planets that tie into class dtorys like kaashyk, Ziost, naboo dantooine and maybe even ryloth. 4. New classes. Yes I said it and its not as ludacris as it sounds. Let me explain. When new class topics break out whenppl say it wont happen cos the cost. And free to play limits the possibilty. But think bout it more since f2p swtor has made more money than before. Subs have dropped yes but many ppl f2p pkayers and subs alike spend alot of cash on coins. So it could be possible to do but its unlikely anytime soon. My ideas on new classes would be something like the sis agent for reps and maybe shock trooper for imps. Hard to say how the story could works but one idea fir sis agent would be gor act one your undercover in the imperial intelligence. Gathers top secret data for the Republic. 4. Im sure this idea has been mentioned before but I would love a neutral faction that maybe allowed the smuggler and bounty hunter to be played neutrally. Obvious problem with that tho is class story so the would have to make mirror classes or new ones specific to the faction . So maybe make the faction the hutts and you can align with either faction or remain neutral smdoing the hutts work. Your thoughts on my ideas would be nice. But please respect my opinions and ideas even if you dont agree with them

I cant speak for pve but at least in pvp sins seem quite powerful. Specially now they got that port skill and seemed like they got damage buff in 2.0 as they seem to burn you fairly quickly with opener skill that does like 7-8k damage. I just dont think the dev in charge of balancing has a clue wot he is doing cos every time we get class changes more problems arise than ones being solved. When a class is out performing the others he simply just nerfs it to the ground then buffs another class thants underperforming without much attention to the class being nerfed and wot it actually needed. Pt nerfs were way over top but well we all no nerfs in this game are not decifed by devs but pvp community who scream nerf until devs listen. Do snipers need a nerf???? Not in my opinion they just beed to buff other dps specs to match if thar aint poss then yes they should be brought back down on level with other specs. And no my opinion isnt bias I not got sniper and have not played gunslinger in 12 months

I just came back to game after couple months out decided id check out pt hadnt played for awile and all I can say is wow. It has been messed up damage was the only real survivability the pt/vg had. The crappy shield doesnt hrlp much compared to other dps classes and the kolto overload change makes survivabilty on pts non existant. I decided to level merc to see if there any better and boy are they. Only lvl 45 and feel I have higher survivabilty without healing than my pt. The iron is sorcs got dps buff (needed). And there lvl 51 ability is a new def cooldown to go with there other ones while the one dps ac that needed a new defensive cd gets damage nerf and no defensive skill to counter it. People complained bout pt damage for so long and never stopped to think why it was the way it was. And thats coz as pyro you have very little survivabilty and being able to burst as much as we did was only way you had a chance to survive. Now at least in my opinion sorcs can survive better than pts so can mercs. And if its true that many guilds avoid taking pts and vgs to ops and I would assume ranked pvp then it shows how bad they nerfed powertechs dps. they need to get more than one guy on balancing and to stop just scrolling through acs making one op for a time then nerfing. If they balanced properly and did it with proper tests and LISTENED to feedback they would get honest feedback on how to balance classes to a level everyone can agree is about right or at keast acceptable

Look what a person does weather is pve and pvp does not mean they cant play there class or know how to gear up. The type of game u expierance plays no part on if you no how to to play. You either learn to play your class or not. Do I think rhese changes are good. No do I think there the end of pvp as we no it no. If it brings more ppl into pvp who may want to pvp every so often without the crappy recruit slaughterfest that goes on. However yes it may bring some bads to pvp but it may also brings some good players to pvp who decide to actually do gear up. Your judging ppl based of no fact and before this has even hit live so wait and see before you condem pvp and ppl

Right species change is a much needed and wanted thing say in future nautolans are added as playable species and lije me there ur favorite sw species I be dammed if im gonna reroll all 11 50s I have just to be my fav species and same goes for rhe others. For a premium fee in wow u can chabge ur race. As for complaints bout being a store thing well what did u expect.having a sub doesnt entitle u to anything. I been subbed since launch and have subs to other mmo's technically speaking ur sub is actually a rental agreement ur renting the use of the servers or were until f2p. An agreenent bw/ea could terminate any time. When game went f2p it was obvious many thibgs would end up in the market rather than a freebie in game option paywd via creds. Micro transactions are probs only thing keeping game alive and u no wot im glad its working. I can use market when I want as an extra to go with my sub

Well firstly customer services in game is great all be it slow. Perhaps you should have given more info on your issue. Judging by there response u mentoin they were not given a clear picture of the issue. Instead of just copying your original ticket perhaps you should have rewritten it to make it more informative as its clear they didnt understand your original ticket. As for your post warning ppl against subbing isnt that abit silly. Let ppl make up there own minds about subbing cos reality is many ppl have a great expeirance with live agents/tickets. Unsubbing your game is your choice but if this is what it takes to make you quit then I think you cant have liked the game that much to give up on your issue. But wot I dont lije is how you coming here trying to get ppl to not sub or unsub coz of your agenda anf then think we care ur unsubbing. Let ppl decidw for themselfs. And make ur post in the correct forum which would have been the customer support forum.

Premades are won thing double premades in normal wzs and people that leave if they dont get there 8man guild into a normal and keep repeating that until the get on same team is the problem. Pvp aint only for hardcore pvpers or pvp guilds. I love pve ops and oi like pvping most the time. Shouldnt have to join pvp guild and be part of an 8man premade to enjoy a normal wz

Actually no I dont I mostly pvp solo and when I do group with my guild its with 3 others only not many ppl in my guild pvp

Im on my phone and text prediction is bad and I dont always see the mistakes.

I hear what your saying and it didnt seem like a flame at me at all and is a very good comment. And it bugs me alot that people do this kind of stuff. To answer a couple of ur points your right in saying most the time posts like this surface people hide be hind its a group based game or get a guild. I have a guild some pvp and most dont. At times I maye group with them as a 4 man and most the time I solo pvp. As for seeing 8 man premades and just leaving sometime I do but always feel bad ditching the rest who will stick it out. I only leave games if I join and its underway and nearly over. Or if people dontt call incs or fight at objectives. Dontt like wasting my time in those groups. I always feel bad leaving groups but sometimes its better than wasting time trying to get groups to sort it out. Im glad you and some others actually see my point good to see im not alone on the hassles these types of wzs bring. I will say I dont blame them entirely for utilizing a loophole or coincidently gettung 2 groups cos size of guild it the leaving to make it happen aswell as doing it and bioware not adding a prevention to this. Just a shame that some people enjoy sucking the fun out of pvp for others just for a cheap and quick win. Ps sorry for bad spelling if any on my phone ;-)

glad someone understands. and i think your right bw wont do anything about it. hell theres still bugs and known issues in the game that have been there since launch day so not counting on anything being done. just a shame some people or some guilds like the one i name above feel the need to ruin other peoples fun and wz time jsut to look good or for a cheap and easy win. i do think if enough people complain and keep complaining bout this issue bioware will be forced to do something if they dont want to loose more of there players coz if you cant have fun playing the content you wish to play in this case pvp, then players will leave and find somewhere that they will enjoy it. and if bioware do something about it these kind of people will rage quit the game coz they dont look good anymore and actually get beaten or jsut rage quit beacause premade queues were split from solo queues giving them longer queue times, so really it in the best interest not to do crap like this and ruin other peoples fun if they wish to keep premade queues and solo queues together as sooner or later enough people will have enough of this issue can quit game or come here like i have done and post there issue, as for the guy that laughed at competive pvp many mmo's actually have competitive pvp sure balance is always and issue but the games are back and forth and on an even playing field not 8 man premade in a normal wz vs half a premade or 8 pugs. but bw seem insistant on killing off there own pvp with these rediculas nerfs and buffs and refusal to do anything major with smash. which is another topic i wont talk bout here. pvp should be competitive and should be equal in terms of team set up. not allowing a loophole in the queueing system for a guild to get 8 ppl in or ditch the other 4 people if they dont get there 8man premade

something needs to be done to stop this to many time do i see the guild drop it like its hoth on red eclipse having a full premade in normals and will likely leave ones there not all in. not only is it unfair to others thats wot ranked rwz are for so either they cowardly looking for a free and easy win and cant hack ranked or 2 they just enjoy making others wzs hell and unenjoyable. bw seriously need to seperate premades from solo queues coz i cant see anyway they can prevent a 8 man guild group getting into normals. unless they only allow a 4 man premade in wzs and force 4 randoms onto there team. i dont play this game for others to ruin my fun and playtime so they can have cheap and easy wins by ruining the fun for others. while i know im gonna get absolutly flamed for this post and hardly anyone if any agree with me but such is life. but nothing says more cowardly tan an 8man premade in a normal wz. and its worse when they dont get on the same team as there other 4 man group they ditch the wz and queue until they get it. if they dont fix issues like this class balancing wont matter when there no comeptitive normal warzones

Parsing is useless for pvp. U wont pull same numbers. In pve vgs relay more on sustained game as most there damagecomes from plasma cell dot. In pvp dots can be cleansed so vgs need burst. Take away crit specially with the healing numbers going out like 8-9k heal crits. Then vgs die to quickly when other ckasses critting for 7k

Ur ignoring fact like rage spwc has auto crit regardless of anything. My vg relies on crit alot more than power and the heavy nerf has ruined me in pvp. I lost around 10 percent crit. And 5 percent surge leavibg only hybrid spec 0-21-25 spec on pts viable to get auto crit which unlike smash auto crit only has 25 percent chance to proc. Abd I hate that hybrid. Did crit need a nerf. Debatable but certainly not as heavy as it is niw

I dont have a surge prob on pts but my vg dps suffered a huge crit nerf. My crit on live for tech is 35-37percent sorry no symbol on my phone. Now on pts I have just 22-25percent crit rarely get over 5k crits while other classes getting 6-7k crits. Alacrity means crap to assault spec sure the ammo regen and skill speed nice id rather my crit back so I can actually pull numbers other classes can. Seems to me only ppl who benifit are the auto crit classes like tge smashmonkry spec

imo vanguards suck now im playing pvp on pts atm not only am i dead in seconds while other classes are getting 6-7k crits my vg in wh/partisan pvp gear barely gets 4k. the crit nerf has really screwed me so i hardly crit as i gone from about 35%-38% crit to less than 19.5% crit. full assualt hasnt changed in damage by much if not less than before only viable spec i really read about is the 21 tactic 25 assaault hybrid now. so thanks bw for screwing my class

i agree with op. while a signle smasher is no so much of a problem and if you get caught by smash you could argue you wernt paying attentions to them building it up but the minute you get multiple smashers on the same team leap into say novara when your capping south they have the smash buff built up in seconds with force crush then bam 7k smash x2 from fully augmented elite war hero geared players then thats at least one person dead proberly more when you count the fact they will also only need 1-2 more aibilitys after that to finish of multiple people instantly. smash isnt like morter volley or death from above or orbital strike for that matter where you no its happening. smash is instant cast aoe with no marker placed on ground so if your focus on healer you wont often see a smasher preparing a smash to leap into the crowd. the fact it is 100% crit in rage spec has its damage increased alot from talent points and can now have it cooldown lowered a significant amount tell you all you need but if thats not enough to show how op the spec is. lets look at the figures. how many smashers were there in 1.2?? very few. since the 2 buff rage/focus got majority of each server rerolled/respecced. they didnt reroll or respec for no reason or coz they suddenly felt the spec was cool. they rerolled coz it was the new op spec. anyone who denies this is just lieing to themselfs. they rerolled oz it was op and the old class was nerfed or not as good anymore. fair play to the players that played the spec from beggining but that doesnt change the fact its still an op spec. the funny thing is tho why bother with these posts. trying to preach to faceroller lol rerolling people who actually rerolled or respected there char just to pay the new op spec arnt exactly gonna hold there hands up and say yeam man im op i rerolled coz its op so what. are they?? doing that would be an admission of how they couldnt play there old class/spec properly. or just simple they want to be op so they look good. at launch when ops/scoundrels badly needed a nerf these forums were full of posts from ops/scoundrel denying they were op giving lame examples why they were balanced and actually qq'ing threating to quit if the class was nerfed. why were they doing that. its simple coz they loved being op and killing people in 3 hits. jsut like we see in this post clear sw/jks denying the spec is op coz they love how easy it is to get big numbers and how easy to kill people it is. however one thing i really find annoying in posts like these is when people threaten to cancel sub just coz of stupid pvp balance. just deal with it or quit threating to quit wont bring forward bw's balance plans or make them change there plans just coz some people threaten to quit. that being said theres arguments for nearly ever class being op or underpowered in the game doesnt mean there right but ppl tend to say alot of things that they think, like there entitled to but that is not the same view as mmo companys thoughts on balance. as for balance i hate the word true balance in pvp is a myth. no class can ever be equal to another otherwise the point of having different classes is pointless. who would play a game where a juggernaut performed the exact sameway as a sage with the only differance being type of abilities and armour. who would want to play as a healer that performed no differently from another healer. each class is ment to be unquie and perform differntly. and when dev balance classes only based on pvp complaints or performance it has a serious effect on pve. for example if they nerf pyro/assault specialist again. coz of pvp complaints/performance we will have no use in pve having parsed my vg AS in pve during tfb hm or any raid most of my damage comes from the dot. nerf that and im useless in pve. hence ill have to reroll a pve class and regear a pve class all because of pvpers qqing. tactics/advanced prototype really isnt that pve usefull because it all focus around one aoe ability. much like focus rage only not even half as effective so when your in a raid with multiple cced mobs your unable to use your spec to its best. take away the 100% crit chance from smash and leave it down to crit rating and problem solved in my opinion. that wont make to much of a radical change and brin it on par with other classes chances to crit

a hutt wouldnt work. move to slow and can hardly move around enough to fight ;p

firstly i have ran hammer station with ful group of lvl 15s successfully. it isnt to low for the fp. 14 ish but 15 is doable with the right group ie tank healer 2 dps. tank needs to use tank stance and have a shield and needs to guard the healer. healer needs to heal. if u new they had no tank 1 you should either go tank stance use a shield of hand and hope for best not much defences at lvl 21 anyway. or second you should have said once you realised they had no tank that they needed one and you were gonna leave group so they could get one. trying to act as a tank in dps spec and stance and act suprised when they all die is an odd one for me. personally i think your reactions and your comments to them were just as rude. sure they shoulda waited or kept trying just as much as u could have offered to switch to tank stance stick on a shield and do ur best to help the group you offered to join. in the second instance you mention sure the guy/girl shouldnt have left after 2 minutes complaining og no xp and offered the same courtesy im sure hed expect if he disconnected. but such is the world off mmo's theres always a few ppl that act this way all you can do is click ignore find replacement and move on. personally i dont think your a vixtim lke your post implies and that no1 in the examples you provided were innocent victims. i think your just as bad as they are but thats my opinion. next time do the right thing ignore them be polite dont join a group to watch them fail and ultimatly lead a group to failure by refusing to put on a shield and tank stance and do your best for the group u offered to join. if it goes badly you could always say they need a real tank or better yet do that before u start when u see they dont have one. also your original post goes on about shadow tanks having nothing to offer ie light armour and so on. you should do some reading. shadow tanks are actually very good tanks jsut as good as other tanks in some respects. when specced properly and geared properly and actually useing the right stance they are very good. and actually have very good damage in tank spec aswell. i have 50 shadow sure its dps but im lvling a sin tank currently lvl 33 and its very good little down time between fights even when using my dps companion mobs die really quick and comps rarely take aggro unless i let them have aggro on mob while i deal with others. sadly this post is a case of 1 person trying to deflect all blame from samples of as you put it bad form, when your "form" wasnt exactly innocent either. next time you make a post like this actually use samples where you did nothing wrong coz otherwise you really do come of a just another troll

wrong. lotro went F2P at the height of its success why?? beause it had made alot of money was well recieved and well loved by its fansbase and went f2p to make more money. as you arguably make more money from mirco transactions and expansions that you simply do a sub each money. for example if x spends £8.99 a month on a sub per month and y spends £20.00 on micro transactions on for example cartel coins and z spends £8.99 on sub and £20.00 in a one month period for cartel coins were are you getting more money from. as theres always people that will spend a fair amont on coins to get things from store per month top that with being a subscriber aswell your getting £30 in a one month period from one person add that up to the many people that will do the same and money is increased from f2p. so its arguable unless you know turnover records pre f2p and post f2p that having the model we have now has actually increased popularity of the game and brought in a bigger turnover of profits.

what ou fail to accept is not everything is known about this rise of the hutt cartel expansion yet so maybe theres more to be announced that will actually make it an expansion. for example take away the new dungeons and raids from mists of pandaria take away the new class and new race its just another zone with 5 new levels hardly an expansion. add dungeon raids new gear new crafting tier and bam you have an expansion. we dont no wot else is coming with rise of the hutt cartel so best to reserve judgement until ALL info has been revealed

TBH im getting sick with threads like this. if you DONT LIKE it dont play it. theres alot about rise of the hutt cartel we dont no about yet. as for broken promises in the past about things we were getting i.e same gender romances guild capitol ships and duel spec well F2P changed alot of time plans so its likely alot of this has been delayed and with the recent sacking/resignations at BW its possilbe some thing will inevitably have to be scrapped. peoples expectations for this game before beta/before release what ever was so high all because star wars was the name. i love this game way it is. sure it has its problems like every mmo does but its only 1 years old and im quite happy biding my time and trusting things will get sorted in due time. i for one cant wait of rise of the hutt cartel and looking forward to more info on it but seriously u dont like wots gonig on with game simple solution go back to wow or wot ever mmo you came from (if any) and stop coming to these forums to whine when nothing will change you either like game love game or hate it. no amount of whining here (outside pvp thread bout class power or screaming for nerfs) will change anything bw has planned UNLESS they ask for fan opinions. When you pay 200 mill lus dollars towards a game then come back here and say they havent given you wot YOU wanted
