I think I finally see what at least half of the LFG doubters feel. My first thought was that would be great to be able to group quickly wether it's pvp, flashpoints, or whatever but now I see the other side. I really just pvp for my end game and have played 100's of matches and love it. However, only recently have I been paying attention to "who" I am playing with, and Holy Crap, it's the same cool people! I am beginning to really feel the comoradere and see the in-game friendships that can develop. I am torn:)

Hopefully you can post about it later, would love to hear!

Do you think there will be any surprises on May the 4th? and if so, what? I'm not that creative so I can't even think of anything but would love to hear some ideas.

cool thanks! didn't know it would be that simple I was getting frustrated trying to figure it out while getting tired of having my companion constantly highlighted.

Does anyone know how to clear the focus target frame when not being used and just running around?

what do you mean "turn it off" after combat. I have it assigned, but I don't know how to remove a target focus without targeting something else. I just want to be able to clear the target focus.

Can anyone tell me how to get the "focus target" graphic to clear and go away when I am not using it? I don't mean disabling, but I want it to disappear if I don't want to have a target focused at the time. Right now I focus target my companion, but when I am running around and not engaged in combat, I hate that her nameplate is always up and in my way. Help please! Thanks

Update, I thought I would bite the bullet and try to be a healer. I had already rolled an IA so I figured at level 12 it was never too late to start a healing spec instead of the initial intent for the toon. DAMN it's hard. Like I stated at the very beginning, it feels impossible to keep my team alive, keep myself alive, AND dish out some form of DPS. Gotta keep practicing. Got into my first wz with this mindset and got DEMOLISHED!!!! couldn't last more then 3 seconds and felt like I was tripping over my keybinds in the 3 minutes that I could tolerate staying in the battle. Got to work on my technique but I am determined to do it. If you got any good tips or can point me towards a good tutorial, that would be great. In the meantime I will keep looking:)

I think people expect way too much from just a "game". No game will be all encompassing and have everything that everyone wants. I thinl people need to either get use to disappointment or learn to appreciate what it does have. Big picture you have the luxury of being able to afford and play a cool game on a computer and or laptop and some people can't afford food. Perspective. We all must be fortunate in some way if we are able to access this forum. Something must be right in your life.

I love it and think it's hilarious that it's still around. I usually play warzones and like to comment on those still infected by telling them they are "looking a little ill" then I free trade them a vaccine if they want it and I have one so as to not have them "pop" mid battle. Although it is also pretty funny battling the other side and someone just explodes into green goo and dust and I'm not sure if I would have finished them on my own.....knowing my skill, likely not:) lighten up guys, it's a disease like negativity, just persists. Fun.

yes, wireless and worked amazing pre 1.2. I don't want to huddle in my basement to play a game. So what could have changed if the only thing that did change was the 1.2 update? I could try to hard wire directly to the router and see if it makes a difference, but really nothing else is different even at the other locations I play. Could there be too many other things "running" at the same time. And is there a problem with buying alienware?

Ok, brand new is not the right choice of words. If it is an internet issue, I get the same lag no matter where I am playing and there are three places I play in particular. Wireless card possible?

I don't understand how I can have a brand new alienware m14x with the most updated drivers for my nvidia 555M Geforce and on max settings during pve witness the most amazingly smooth graphics on max settings and then I queue for pvp. Before 1.2 I had updated my drivers and then downloaded one of the pre 1.2 patches and my warzones were unbelievable smooth and enjoyable. Now, since 1.2 and beyond, despite updating to the most recent driver I get horrible lag and sometimes loose connection altogether during matches and get booted off the server. No fun. Thoughts?

Not sure if I will get flamed for this, but I feel fortunate that I can sit back and just realize this is only a game. I don't consider myself a casual gamer per se, but if it takes me a month to be full battlemaster and then 2 months for full War Hero, oh well. I take pride in each piece of gear I am able to achieve and don't expect it to be handed to me. If i get torn apart in wz's one day, inevitably an OP day will soon follow. It is just a game, and I think people take things so unimportant in the grand scheme of things way too seriously. Step back and ask yourself will it matter looking back five years from now.

How do ranked warzones work and wouldn't that make queues even longer and more unbalanced group sizes? How do you even get ranked? thanks in advance.

Why did they remove the wz vendor? I liked being able to clean up my bags and repair my armor before a wz.

I wonder if it's just possible that I have that leftover from before 1.2 but I doubt it. I really don't remember when I started it but it was definitely more than a week ago. I wonder if I completed it if I will ever be able to find it again.

Is there another way to complete the PVP Weekly that requires you to kill 150 enemies that is fulfilled by getting 3 kills at a time for completing a warzone? In the past I would assume that this was accomplished by going to Ilum and doing open world pvp. Now is there any other option besides just warzones?

Well that makes a lot more sense to me and that's too bad. I've never been good at subtle innuendos (or maybe not so subtle ones in this case

^^I don't understand.

to play a healer. I have played a couple mmo's and have never played a healer. Last night I spent an hour reading about how to play an IA healer and kept thinking, "man that seems really hard!". I have a hard enough time staying alive trying to just do dps, let alone trying to pay attention to my health, my teammates health, and the destruction of the other side. It seems almost impossible to keep track of. I commend those that heal and always make it a point to give a shout out like "thx for the heals!" because I really appreciate them. Maybe I just get tired of trying to heal at work and just want to come home and blow **** up. At any rate, thanks to all those that dedicate their toons to healing and keeping selfish guys like me alive.

Thanks everyone, that's perfect!!

So I read that you can still get the set bonus on items if you at least move the armoring mod of that item to your new piece. I get that if it is true. But I also read that you need to move it to a piece that is post 1.2. How do I know what a post 1.2 item is? Thanks in advance

Can't do it still love the game and its potential. Can't wait to see what is in store for us. Not that much money either for the fun.

I wish that were the case for me. When the game first came out there was a patch that came out that greatly improved my performance, until this one I love pvp and that pretty much all I like to do if I am not leveling up my toons, it is now pretty much unplayable.
