Thank you!

Sorry to say but we've got a lot of ignorance in this thread. I feel many of you have mistaken PvP Tanks for PvE Tanks. A PvP tank's primary objective is to provide utility for his team. Now, one can argue what is the best way to do that but.. I feel that many of you think the role of a PvP tank is to merely survive. With that said, Immortal Tanks are absolutely viable in DPS gear. They perform perfectly fine in regs, especially when a healer is present. I would also argue that DPS geared Immortal is the "most viable" way to use Jugg tanks in Group Ranked. So don't give me this "only viable in regs" BS. However, I should add, that DPS Geared Immortal has a substantially higher skill cap than any other Juggernaut spec/role. Since you have to perform all the same functions any other tank would need to do while also applying offensive pressure AND having less "room for error" when cycling defensive cooldowns. Only pursue if you are willing/wanting to really push your class capabilities to the limit.

We intend to play some Group Ranked Friday night starting around 6-7pm Pacific time.

Too early. I high doubt anybody is going to queue. In fact, that is so early, I almost suspect you hope nobody else logs to play against you. This way you can win trade and claim you announced you were ready, and able, to play but nobody else came. Then again, if you have some crazy weird schedule and that is the only time you are available.. best of luck to you.

Wait, are you serious? 4:30... AM?

I'm just going to leave this here.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that they probably aren't hacking and you are experiencing lag.

Not everyone who does Ranked is transferring either. A portion of players, sure.

I could see adding it to the Darkness skill tree. I agree that it was a mistake to open that utility up to that entire class though.

I was hoping for a Megaserver. Leaderboards, among various other things, can't even really function as they are now.

Eh, I'm sticking to the Bastion. I'm hoped servers before and it was always the same. Might as well stay in the place that makes the most sense. (I'm West Coast and a PvPer) Too many people are just hoping for greener grass on the other side.

Excellent

This is good news. Although, I really hope we're finally able to turn her.

Agreed. This is formed of good intentions but history has proven(?) it's futility. Regardless, at least for a short while, it'll be fun.

Sorry guys, this game isn't nearly competitive enough to even try such an endeavor. I'm sticking to Bastion until x-server or megaservers happen. Best to luck to you guys. The answers were already obvious before even making the thread. Everyone is just voting their own server and the most populated will be Harb for PvE-lols and then Bastion, the correctly named, last PvP server.

Yea, I think you are totally missing this one. Top5 MMO is getting a major cash boost at the eve of the IP getting a major installment. This game is FAR from dead now.

Congratulations. You have proven my point.

I disagree with the underlined quite a bit. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean we should arbitrarily put a rule-set that prevents certain classes from using armorings/mods of choice. Dps Speced players using a stance that was not intended for the spec and, in turn, an ability not intended for the spec(Guard). Is not the same as a Tank speced player opting to min/max in a unorthodox way.

And yet, people on these same forums, love to talk about how Commando/Merc were OP at launch. Currently, Merc/Commando bring electronet. I'd rather see Mercs, and every class, given more unique traits/abilities then continue to push towards homogenization.

Class diversity. I mean, with how these forums are going we'll soon only have 4 classes. Ranged dps, melee dps, tank and healer. This game, seriously, needs to hang on to whatever class diversity it has and systematically fight back against this homogenization. This is a driving force in the imbalances we have. Why bring class A when class B does exactly the same thing but better? Classes need to have distinctive advantages and disadvantages which justify bringing/using different classes in different scenarios.

I like this even more. Great and simple idea.

Eh, I don't take Force Mobility when I play Corruption or Madness. So, no, it is not required.

Immortal in dps gear is perfectly viable and, imho, usually better than Immortal in tank gear. Only the short-sighted can't see the value in a Tank spec using dps gear.

I fully agree. 3rd party conflicts feel like filler. Let's get back to the war that people actually care about. Republic vs Empire.

I'm not sure I totally buy this argument. PvE set bonuses are still available, for example. Regardless, if this were a true statement then they should completely disable previous set bonuses in order to complete the "phase out." I just think Bioware needs to fully commit one way or the other. They either need to completely phase out old set bonuses and disable them OR allow a way for 60s to obtain them.
