#1 Many of us who started imp LOATHE huttball because for a very long time after launch, it was ALL WE SAW. #2 Many of us, even when running a pre-made, start seeing the same four other people in our group. After several matches where we watch these idiots play deathmatch or run the ball out from our endzone rather than reset it after watching them NOT fighting on doors in VS or on cap points in CW, we realize that while we're in a pre-made, we can't always carry the other four if the opposing team, pre-made or not, has a collective IQ somewhere above a kumquat. This is especially frustrating when the other four are sub 20's and the opposing team is 30+.

I maintain nothing is MORE telling that there's a disconnect between subscribers and developer's than a certain someone's dismissive statement about how 'unusual' our manner of playing huttball is if we never drop out of combat.

"Dear Bioware, I'm getting continually pwned by Ops/Scoundrels in PVP. Can you please make it so NONE of their abilities do any damage? Or maybe remove all of their abilities from their hotbar? OOHHHH, can you make them stand still and not be able to do ANYTHING?"

Global Agenda.

Amen.

That's what Jeopardydd and a few others are trying to point out.

be careful using the word 'shot' in a post. I did and got in trouble.

it's the ciiircllleeee of liiiiiifeeee!!!!!

Welcome to SWTOR 1.2! Now with MOAR DERP!

I dunno, watching certain posters try to make a point and mods trying to do their job has been pretty entertaining. Isn't that PVP?

Also, don't know if anyone's already pointed this out, but jesus the lightsaber humming sound is about to make me have a seizure.

You lost in the one where you weren't the only healer because 1.2 drastically changed the winning formula. Now, healers are a liability. Under current conditions, it's better to go in with 8 dps. Mow everything down.

Come on guys, Ilum was just foreplay. 1.2 was the Money Shot.

50% of 0 is still 0.

Hi, pull random, unverified speculations out of your butt much?

Yes. Pre 1.2, the newbie 50 pvp experience sucked. BUT, even when you got facerolled, you got WZ comms at a rate that allowed you to eventually start buying gear and overcoming the disadvatange you were in. Post 1.2, if you lose, you lose twice. You're DOUBLE penalized for being new/under-eq'd/solo-q'd/average/etc.

Oh, don't mistake me. I think you SHOULD get getting objective points for healing. I won't contest that. And having been destroyed multitudes of times myself, you can still get objective points. Though, I WOULD like BW to disclose more thoroughly what constitutes objective points. Defending doors in VS, capping/defending nodes are obvious ones. I think running/passing/catching the ball in HB count as does killing the ball runner. But my point was, he did a LOT of healing, but only got 2 medals. While I concede he should get more medals for just healing, he should've been able to get more objective points. ESPECIALLY in VS where standing near the door seems to generate objective points.

Hello, I have ALL recruit gear and die in 3 globals.

Werd. It's REALLY disgusting. 10-49 is better, but it still suffers from the 'you lose twice' mechanic of rewards now.

While I agree with your main point, I noticed something in your screenshot. Now, I haven't read this entire thread and maybe someone points this out, but for ALL the healing you did.... You only got 2 medals. It's documented that you need to get at least 4 medals for anything to count. On top of that... look at your objective points. ZERO. Now, you can make an argument that healing is contributing to the objective, and I wouldn't argue with you. But, BW has stated they wanted to make pvp more objective based and less kill kill kill. The assinine changes to expertise notwithstanding, it's pretty faceroll to get objective points.

lol!!

I like how you castigate someone who likes to play the game in a different manner or for different reasons and your defense for doing so is that you like to play the game in a different manner and for different reasons than he does. Rather than telling people who don't agree with you to get out of your threads, how about you take your QQTRAIN somewhere else? Your post is no more or less constructive than his.

Well done, sir. Well done indeed.

Hey look, someone who understands game mechanics.

Step 1) Interrupt Grav Round/Tracer Missile Step 2) ???? Step 3) Profit Seriously, there's nothing, NOTHING, more satisfying that interrupting a Commando/Merc casting this. 99% of the time, it's like the only button on their bar and they completely LOSE THEIR MINDS trying to figure out why it doesn't work.
