This sums up my feelings, organized pvp was the one thing I was sticking around for but now we find out that 1.2 got pushed back and we wont be able to full team queue... I'm pretty much done.

Just like Ilum and KP you are releasing another product that simply isn't ready. If your not going to have 8man premades or cross server pvp what exactly is the point to this preseason? Is it suposed to be more fun this way for all games to be unorganized? Is it to keep casuals and terribads from being excluded? Is it to make a new easier to obtain rank of gear? Can you just not figure out how to do it? Are you afraid of imbalances? What exactly is the hold up??? I just don't understand how this is suposed to make the game better or more enjoyable for anyone over what we currently have.

PLEASE STOP CRYING ABOUT CROSS CLASS ABILITIES sith/jedi with flamethrowers - I'm pretty sure if yoda can lift an entire spaceship with his mind a jedi can figure out how to equip and use a flamethrower if they wanted to. non force users getting sith corruption - all beings are part of the force and they did this same exact thing for non force using companions in the original KOTR games. smugglers/whoever getting force choke - There are plenty of force sensitives who fail out of the jedi/sith training (remember that lvl 4 quest in hutta), decide they want to be a bounty hunter instead (anyone read the SW Young Jedi Knight books?) or simply never get found and figure out their abilities on their own... Theres cases of bounty hunters, mercenaries even lowly droids that fight with lightsabers, would you cry about that too? TLDR: stop pretending you know the SW universe and actually read the books and play other SW games before you start crying about how they are taking their artistic freedom to far...

I have every single hilt & crystal including magentas unlocked and the blue version of every offhand and all the enhancments (except some of the lvl22's) ... some I got try 1 others try 50 but it ALWAYS ends up averaging out to around 15% discovery rate (higher for low lvl items, lower for high lvl items) so yes RE'ing works but like any random system... ITS RANDOM so stop crying.

So I really like the effort you've put into this post and as a hybrid sorc myself I do believe that we provide a TON of viability and will be highly represented in ranked warzones however I'm really surprised at this specific argument... The problem here is that you take into account sorc bubble but act as if no other class has skills for the purpose of your numbers. Every other class has a defensive damage reduction ability... The Sorc bubble is a static fixed number of damage absorbed where as the warrior, merc, sniper shields have no limit to the amount of damage that they can prevent as they are % reductions not static numbers. Sorc's rely entirely on their ability to cc & kiting to keep themselves alive where a merc, marauder, jugg can simply pop their shield and in the case of warriors easily reduce 10k+dmg drastically increasing how long they can live. This also assumes there is no healer prolonging the fight(which makes dmg reduction more valuable the more someone is healed and the more dmg they are taking). This isn't a single player game and if you toss 4 people on a marauder to kill them they can easily last 2-4x as long as a sorc with 4 people on them. I agree that 1v1 a hybrid sorc is extremely difficult to kill but a merc healer for example is IMPOSSIBLE to kill 1v1... I just think it's way to early to come to any conclusions as we don't have true logs or 8v8 team organized competitive games. I think we will all be surprised by the team compositions that make their way to the top of rankings.

Fair points however the real question is would opening up cross faction switches help bring people back / stop people from leaving... At least on my server I'd say 50% of the top end players I know have unsubbed and or quit and server imbalance is one of the major problems so far in game. With the long standing history of jedi turning to the dark side and then going back to the light you can't say that it doesn't make sense in the story either. I think they will open this up at some point and I think they'd be wise to make it free for people transferring to servers/sides that are greatly imbalanced.

1) 700k is high but i've also seen mercs and ops heal for 700+ as well. 2) unless the game ends early any dps that doesn't break 300k dmg is terrible and should just stop playing. You nailed it right there...

You can crit craft and lightsabers with an augment slot, they sell for like 2mil atm on my server...

No they keep the same stats as you lvl them up... and yes its pretty dumb My theory is they couldn't decide which name they wanted to go with so they just made both...
