you're not the only one by far. a lot of mmo newcomers as well as simply bad players playing this game.

All (top tier) gear should be fully moddable and augmented pieces should be rare drops from bags and pve bosses as well. That's "customization", "individuality" and "choice" But oh well, Bioware knows better, once again ;-)

this topic is about one thing only - offering a place for bad players to vent after getting owned in a 1on1 siotuation. nobody playing in a coordinated premade group can see sent/mara as an issue. A great class with invaluable group utility, yes. But 1 sent/mara is all you need in the group. There are FAR better classes to stack. And suggesting nerfs to their survival cooldowns just shows how clueless you people are, as long as you pretend that your interest is balanced competetive premade pvp. You couldn't be more obvious that your mindless whining is about 1on1 only. A lot of butthurt mercs in this thread.

Wow was all about minimum effort for maximum timesink/=profit. From daily quests (insulting to say the least) to "hardmodes" which are the exact same encounter with slightly tweaked numbers (absolutely lazy). To bad the system proved to function just fine. As long as players keep doing all that lazy content nothing is going to change.

you can still log out to refresh the available missions. Allright, on Alderaan the loading times might get annyoing but it does work ;-)

I really hope the orange crafted gear is not making the top tier pve and pvp gear obsolete... While I would not mind it, I have no doubts D3 and GW2 are not going to be released within 4 weeks. 4 months? Big *********** maybe for D3 and a pretty certain NO for GW2.

still too powerful. damage is not damage. Scrap bomb is 21 seconds worth of cap denial - on three individual enemies all at once - with the push of one simple button. It is getting fixed because it is horribly broken.

the OP is actually talking about slighty different things. those that cannot be patched in at a later date I am afraid...

lol 'nuff said (although I will admit that the inherent mitigation and DR of the class is actually a _slight_ problem in terms of how powerful carolina parakeet PTs are) Bad players taking advice from bad players can never go well. Please realize, the only reason you think you know what's up is because there are so many clueless people playing this game that playing in a bad premade like yours very likely is, feels like walking around a demigod among mere mortals. It's nice, sure. But some people will find a rude awakening when rated WZ's set off. (and with some people I incude you) It's actually hilarious how delusional you are.But I am really out now, because I fear the mods are getting annoyed by this whole discussion. I am going to leave it to the not-so-goods to carry this thread on. enjoy.

I am actually doing very, very well. btw, weren't you the guy whining about armor values in pvp? ah good memories looking forward to rated WZ's. I am not going into a discussion with you, I remember the last time you attempted to troll me. You are all words, bro. And you know it. But that's fine, this game is primarily made for people like you. I am just here to rain on your parade <3

I am mad? let's make a rhyme out of it... no wait, I am smelling an incoming infraction, let's just leave it at that and let everyone go back to the topic at hand before this valuable thread gets closed for off-topic. I have a lot of time to kill during the morning hours, that's all And I always take issue with blatant ******

of course he does. Another guy I remember a name of...lol. The usual suspects, right ;-) the reason he thinks mara and PT are op is because those are the classes giving his merc/sorc the most trouble.

dude, I am not trying to be personal. I don't know you. I only know you displayed, just yesterday, very clearly you are not a good player who should be taken seriously when talking about rated high end pvp content. That's all there is to it, not trying to be insulting just stating the facts. Truth is, classes will be nerfed, always, every class. good players will adapt. bad players will be bad. (that's why I never worry about nerfs and you should not get your hopes up for them)

so true And you're right, in actual group combat where people know what they are doing maras and sents are squishy as hell and constantly focussed, hard. You practically need a dedicated tank and healer to function well. keep in mind though, a decent mara/sent is probably the best class to just completely annihilate bad players 1on1 whereas those players can still quite easily beat equally bad sents/maras without much effort. So there is bound to be some QQ once in a while. Nobody whining here has any intention or, probably, capability to do rated WZs competetively, it's just 1on1 whine.

The only thing obvious is that nobody can take serious what players like you deem "obvious" or not. I remember your name, we had that little discussion yesterday in that other thread where you were flamboyantly defending dots preventing node caps. You only make yourself look silly, bro. Apply yourself, get better, profit. I know you can do better than that. This didn't even make me smirk. Throw some effort in for christs sake.

why do you even care, OP? It is pretty clear you have no interest whatsoever in high end competetive play. Otherwise you would be aware that Marauders/Sentinels in organized premade PvP are TOTALLY fine, if anything they might be in need of buffs in the future, we'll have to wait and see. Certainly not even remotely close to overpowered and not on the same level as quite a couple of other classes. this is just another 1on1 whine, not even remotely craftily concealed. Edit: ololol Please keep posting, you are a riot, dude. At first I thought "ah, just another bad player and a troll - moving on". Now I realize the goal of this thread is comedy. thank you good sir, we need more people like you in these dark times. Keep it coming, I am bored and in need of some good laughs right now.

legacy system disagrees with you. the fact remains, there is full trading functionality between characters on the same account of different factions already in the game. Players just have to go through the trouble putting their items up on the neutral GTN. you can easily park one alt on each side there to conduct business though so anyone who has not done that already - just park two lowbie alts in Nar Shadda and do all business through them. Still direct emails would be more convenient.

Yes they did. Hell, look at the GIANT mess that Ilum is today and the even bigger mess when it went live. Big scale pvp is an afterthought in this game. Everybody can see that. Easily. Unless you close your eyes so you can continue being ignorant

The proof is in the myriad of people that have problems with it. It IS proven. I have a pretty beefy system, I suffer fps loss in large scale battle and other high traffic areas like certain parts of the fleet but even then on the most busy areas of the fleet my fps don't drop below 40. That being said, I can easily see there are dozens of problems with the engine from the shadows to the AA, which isn't even real full screen anti aliasing. From strange graphical artifacts to unfeasibly long loading times even with a SSD. You can't even open an UI element without geting a fps drop. Just look at your fps ingame and keep spamming your inventory or character panel button. You want to know how I know you will be able to see it on your own PC? Because everyone can (I asked so far). Why does everyone have a problem like this? Because it's the engine. Glad I could help.

I am at a loss for words quite frankly. "Dots are our ONLY line of defense" is what you wrote. I responded by telling you that you might just as well use your rifle shot to prevent someone from capping. Yes it's your basic attack and it is one of MANY abilities you can use for defending an objective that is not a dot.

dots preventing caps was baddie galore in itself. only the bad players cry now that the devs found a way to fix it. You're in good company here, keep telling us how you don't belong to that group, please. It's hilarious. EXACTLY! Finally someone realizes it. Dots preventing caps gave the bad team a chance to defend (especially the side-) nodes against the dominating=better team even though they were being outplayed. because the better team shouldn't succeed with their organized effort to cap a node, right? Teams are being balanced now. If you lose all the time and want to have even more balanced matches there is but one way to approach this issue - improve yourself / find better players to play with. I am so glad to read this. Thank you :-)

you want a challenge? You think fighting the CPU controlling NPCs that repeat the same handful of patterns over and over and over and over and over and (you get the idea) over again until even the most clueless person in your raid gets it right can be "difficulty"? LOL I actually like that the op size is only 16 man. The only real difficulty in raiding is finding enough people who are reliable and attend the majority of your raids and are not complete idiots. Where have you been the last 15 years? PvE is easy, repetitive, undynamic and boring. In every MMO, ever. If you want to challenge yourself choose enemies that are operating at - roughly - your own intellectual capacity - or above. Play PvP if you want a challenge.

I work in the business too! Only moonlighting though. greetings, the Pope

Doubtful to say the least. Your rig is pretty average as well, I am sure. (a wild guess maybe, but in my experience their physical endowment is not the only thing men tend to severely overestimate) even if you wanted to - you probably could not. That's your opinion, all right. There is probably an explanation for how it was formed though (hint: in most cases there is indeed some sucking involved but it's usually not the pvp system itself) and yet you not only read the thread but respond to it? I don't know about you but from a distance, yes it looks like you might actually care less I swear, these forums never cease to amaze. I thought I had the principle behind general disinterest and indifference figured out but I learned a lot here, a lot!!

what proof are you waiting for? the game engine and coding sucks. that's all there is no know and it can be proven by starting up the game and playing it... try repeatedly spamming the keybind for any random ui element like inventory, character panel, codex, map, etc. Watch your fps and keep telling yourself "Must be my computer" everyone claiming otherwise is a) ignorant (enjoy your totally smooth Ilum gameplay at 20 fps, bro), b) trolling, c) crazy and eco-unfriendly enough to be running quad-gpu setups that don't experience much of a slow down
