Simple fix: By default, sort the crew skill UI by influence (high to low) That way the companions you use will be at the top.

Because SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO TAKE YOUR PLACE YOU SELFISH ****. So I sit in queue, join a game, oh look, its already 0-3, how fun. This happened 7 times to me yesterday. I played 9 games without a win and gave up on the daily.

Show me the combat log that shows that mercenaries that are allowed to stand still and spam attack an immobile target that isn't moving away, breaking line of sight, or attacking the mercenary (thus causing push-back on all our channeled attacks) or using interrupts all adds up to some extreme amount of DPS compared to other classes. A 5 minute training dummy log comparing equally geared classes would be ideal. Oh, right, there is no combat log. Why is there no combat log? Because Bioware can't deal with anything resembling class balance right now, they know it would embarrass them. And probably won't for a long time coming, because they are utterly clueless. These types of posts are a complete waste of time without any way of comparing data. It is completely subjective. If you want to do good damage in warzones, be a class that is completely worthless when running the ball and so terrible at chasing down a moving target that you just shoot at whoever is closest and wave goodbye when they outrange you or break LOS. And AOE at every opportunity and chuckle when people think your damage comes from mashing tracer missile.

Blah blah another selfish post that leaves out the fact that when they quit, someone else is stuck replacing them, wasting that person's time. Your actions affect others, that is why there needs to be a penalty for quitting. Also, yes, the daily/weekly should be changed to not require a win.

How about instead of leaving the warzone, you stand in a corner instead? I suggest this because of the poor fool (probably me) who has to take your spot after you quit, and finds himself in an impossible to win warzone after sitting in queue. So next time you decide to be selfish and quit rather than wait around and take your free valor and commendations, think of the fact that someone else has to replace you when you leave. If its huttball you can even make a game of helping the other team score so it ends faster. I'd honestly rather some dick do the above than quit out, because the time before his selfish *** is replaced and we are down a man the game tends to get out of hand anyway.

It is rare that I'm not top damage, but that doesn't mean I can turn around a team that is getting stomped before I even join. Even if it is close, there is a significant amount of time where the team is down a man due to a quitter before the replacement can get into the game. During that time, things tend to snowball out of control. And I do play it out, so you are wrong to address me with your post. But that doesn't change the fact that I'd much rather be in the game at the start. Also, if you crash every game, you should fix that before you infect a team with your presence. It sucks to be down a man until a replacement can load in and get past the door.

The majority should not suffer for the extreme minority. For example, in a huttball match tonight that ended 4-2, the winning team had 8 players on the scoreboard at the end. The losing team had *15*, 5 of which did not even stick around to do a single point of damage. I guess they all had unstable internet connections, huh? I should not get thrown into a losing match just because some emo kid's fragile ego can't handle "losing" at a video game.

Allow you to select from a list what warzones you prefer. Add a 30 minute deserter penalty. Change the daily/weekly to not require wins. This is the casual battleground, not the ranked one. All 3 would be ideal. My stats this week, queuing solo as imperial, assault mercenary: 8 wins, 24 losses, 18 quitters By 'quitters' I mean either I joined a losing match in progress, or at least one person quit the moment the other team went up by 1 point or took one door in voidstar.

Joined another game that is already lost

All of these discussions are nearly useless without combat logs and training dummies. Crying for nerfs at this stage is laughable.

I'd love to face these mercs that only use tracer. Because I'd wipe my *** with them.

So pathetic selfish idiots are going to ruin it no matter what you do, is that it? How about medals for daily then, and let medal imbalance be damned.

They'd have to be complete idiots. If you are having trouble with them, either you are pvp'ing naked, are getting shot from other players that you don't notice, or you just don't see them using other abilities. The thing is, tracer has a cast time and a travel time. That means if we fire tracer then use an instant attack, all you see is the tracer flying at you because the instant attack will land at the exact same time. Heatseeker and railshot will both appear to hit at the same time tracer hits. Unload of course is an obvious long channel, and rocket punch will do the knockback. That's all we have, as far as single target damage.

I still want to know what you think mercs should be doing when our other attacks are on cooldown.

But its cool to punish other players by dumping them into the game that you were losing. Gotcha. Maybe it wouldn't need deserter if you couldn't join a game in progress at all. Of course there's other problems there, like if someone actually goes linkdead or whatnot.
