Actually this item still gives 2 medals. They didnt remove that. Its only that the item is not reusable so someone would need to farm them in order to get the medals every warzone which most wouldnt bother.

I would like to see this change to. I have a similar problem. I work nights so I cant always pvp during prime time and before work i sleep so usally I try and pvp around noon server time before i have to sleep but i only have time for usually 5-6 games and if we keep loosing i just miss the daily that day. I dont mind playing the games it just sucks that with the 50 bracket i get no games in the morning when i have time to play and then when i can play usually the teams are so bad i loose alot.

I dont mind the pre 50 pvp, the after 50 annoys me because you can go hours before you get a game. If the games were more common it wouldnt be bad because they are fun most of the time. My only real complaint is that once you hit rank 60 valor you have no reason to pvp past doing your daily since you get nothing for it. They really need to add more stuff to do that makes pvp more interesting. More warzones, cross realm warzones to help for servers that dont have good population more rewards. Stuff besides gear is even ok stuff poeple might like, better consumables etc that are only for pvp. Ranked matches and ways to compare statistics would be nice. I mean most poeple that pvp do it because they want to be competitive and the pvp in here just isnt offering anything for that. As for the opps first question because right now there isnt any other mmo / online game i really want to play so ill keep subbing this until something else comes out. There is so much stuff coming out this year I can see sub numbers on this dropping to nothing. I mean between GW2 and D3 plus a few new mmos like tera and the secret world poeple will have alot of options for other stuff to try. Most poeple once they cancel wont come back.

yeah sorry i ment force shroud is a 1 minute cooldown to remove the dots and can be used whenever. Force cloak is a 2min but 2 min cooldown is more than enough to escape getting getting killed when you really need it. I mean its no different than anyone elses cooldowns. I dont understand why the dark charge change really matters since switching to dark charge really wont help you unless you already have a shield with absorb already equipted since just adding ac will only reduce damage a small amount, you cant absorb damage without the right off hand equipted and if you are doing dps you wouldnt have that equipted.

You dont know how you play your class. You dont use force shroud for a long term stop you use it because it removes the dots t hat will break the vanish. Seriously your deception you have force cloak on a 1 min cool down you can use it whever you want to remove dots to restealth. Im sorry the only time I die is if i get focused fire and then all the ac in the world isnt going to save me

switching to dark charge isnt a good way to stay alive it never was. You want to stay alive thats what cool downs are for. Use force shroud and vanish and guess what you dont die. pop blackout as well if you want as you hit vanish and nobody will be able to see you. The only time I ever use dark charge is if im carrying the hutball or if im on the defend phase of void star i will just throw guard up on a healer and sit there keeping poeple from planting. Other than that I use surge even if I die cause surg gives much better damage. Poping dark charge isnt going to do anything. If you have to add an ac boost like that you are going to die anyway.

I usally do close to 300k. With a decent team i do lower 300k, with a really good team i have done about 400k. But thats it. Close to 400k is the most I have ever gotten. so yeah it would be really rare to see one pulling 500k damage. Just for info i have 9 pieces of battle master and the rest is champion. My overall damage hasnt really improved I just find its just easier to kill poeple. I just hope they work out a balance so that all classes can do a decent amount of damage. Its so depressing to go into a warzone with sorcs and you are pulling 300k damage while they are doing 700k for the same warzone

How can you only have 1 BM piece? you mean 1 piece you purchase with the battle master commendations right? cause you can buy 2 implants and earring without commendations so that would be 3 pieces of gear right there ...

Have you even played a sorc? Cause if you talent right then you can kill poeple with nothing but chain lighting cause you can remove the cool down. People can heal in pvp yes but they take the trama penality if they are getting attacked so 30% less healing. Sure if the players are 50 and the guy has enough pvp gear and is heal speced he might survive some dude casting nothing but force lightning but then again he might not it does do alot of damage if you spec for it. PS I dont think the class is over powered My main class is an assassin and I have zero issues with killing sorcs / sages. Do I think they do alot of damage? yes because maps like hutball are great for them since they can sit on platforms and just range attack poeple all day.

If you leveled to rank 50 valor when you hit 50 then at 50 you should be able to buy 5 champion bags, not to mention completing the 2 dailys and weeklys for another 8 bags. so in your 13 bags you only managed to get 2 pieces of gear? you have really bad luck.

You realize being empire has nothing to do with it right? cause hutball will play empire vs empire teams. Its not a matter of what faction you are its the fact they made a 50 only bracket when like 1% of the total population is 50. On top of that poeple like me who already have a character that has rank 60 valor has no reason to pvp once I finish my daily since battlemasters tokens are only aval from the daily / weekly.
