Me being farmed? Think you need to recheck your scoreboard numbers. I'm consistently in top 3 damage and top kills pub, frequently the only one that manages to do any damage to your double premade. That's true in TDM and Dom, without the red dots. No, I don't win. Frankly, your group almost never loses. But then, I don't run a premade. 1 vs 8 means my win/lose ratio takes a nosedive. Are you better then me? Who knows, come at me some time without an ion gunship overwatch and a drone layer nearby.

Pretty sure pub side didn't run premades, imp side was just...well, frankly impside was underwhelming. Your group managed to reverse it, so congrats. Wonders how long before you burn out from those turkey shoots like those early pub pilots did.

Agrees on that one. Still wondering what server he came from as I haven't seen him here before up until 2 weeks ago.

Its called Feedback Shields. A 15 second buff every 30 seconds(20 when upgraded) with very noticeable icon, that only triggers off the first hit. Learn to hold your fire when you see it up. And no, its perfectly acceptable as Feedback is crap compared to Distortion. People still think having a cartel ship means anything? Its the same freaking ship, just uglier.

Missed the part when they closed the oceanic servers back in March, did you? Assumes you were on Dar"nala. You got merged into Bastion.

Seriously did that the other day after hearing this newb whine about it for over an hour on TEH's GSF chat. Thought to myself I should put up or shut up, rolled a new toon, was literally standing next to him on the starter planet and got into the next que pop with him. 50k damage using rapids, top assists(18), second highest kills(8). His reply was that I followed him around all match stealing his kills. Like ***? I'm using my ignore button far too much this last week. Nice numbers you put up btw, but good luck trying to convince those new players that skill means anything at all.

Recently watched as Wil Wheaton played it on his (did I really spend 2 hours watching that?) Seems pretty fun, just gotta find a few more nerds to join in.

Tbh, haven't noticed that big a difference between the old and nerfed DO. Still worth chase down, for me anyway. Agrees, it needs some sort of buff. The blue one is the only one I won't pick up even if its in my flight path.

Cant...stop....laughing...... Nope, no maps hacks. Just the occasional all too convenient lag that some players get, which doesn't account for a high number of kills. If Xi'ao's ss is the game you are referring to, it's easy to see were things went wrong. Not an entirely lop-sided match, but that pub pilot could definitely have used more help like Xi'ao was getting from the bomber on his side. Please show me a time when you did as much to carry your team...in any ship. Put up similar numbers to that the other night in a scout, but got called bad cause all I do is farm DO's. Just can't win.

http://dulfy.net/2012/12/13/swtor-patch-1-6-space-missions-guide/ On rails shooter is easy once you learn the route. I only had trouble with them for maybe the first week they came out.

Let me see if I understand this right. Your suggestion to lowering prices on the GTN is to allow subs to create 6,000,000 credits out of nowhere each month?

You get a daily bonus to each ship you have, up to 2k? bonus req before it goes away. It encourages you to play more ships.

Agrees with Drak. The positions pointed out on the maps only spawn DOs, nothing else. Now, some of the spawn points for the regular powerups are close by, but never on the spot where the DO spawns. Using the Kuat Mesas #1 spot as an example, there are 2 regular spawns there. One is behind and toward the middle of the structure, behind the girder. The second is above the first, almost at the ceiling. There are also spawns at each of the points that jut out from the sides, in between the vertical pillars and a very rare spawn underneath the cliff. Its easy to get confused, especially when racing to the spots and then the blood rush that comes after when search for a victi...err, target. Also great guide Drak, but do all those screenshots need to have me dying in them?

Thinks you're in the wrong part of the forums. But the vendor in the GTN section of Fleet, in the middle room.

PTS is down while they fix what they broke for the ground pounders. Will try to join up if its up.

17 Boxes(~4,000 fleet coms) http://imgur.com/wanNN9X So only 7 EEEs and lots of crystals. Will try more later.

Annoyed that someone went and locked the gsf channel on the pub side, even if it was hardly used.

And then what? No, seriously, then what? How is an Ace pilot suppose to gimp himself further so the newbies can learn? I popped up on TEH about a month ago. First match in a stock scout til four days/~25 games later when I had all tier one upgrades went pretty much the same way. Am I a bad person now? Delete and reroll so everyone can have a moderately less unfair match? And what can you teach them by simply gimping yourself? That the game is easy? That premades, bomberballs and gunship shooting galleries don't exist? If you are truly thinking about the long term health of the game, the answer is not to delude the bad players into thinking they are better then they are, that they don't need to learn to fly better/aim better/play objectives moar. The ones that don't quit, the ones that do reach out and asks questions of the players that trounced them, those are the players you should be interested in keeping and cultivating. So that when they finally master their ships, as everyone who keeps playing will eventually end up doing, there will remain an end game for us to enjoy. Points at the ground pounders. High end ranked PvP is unbelievably fun. Its ruined by the casuals that keep queing. You know the ones that insist on wearing PvE gear, using their PvE rotations and leaving the f-ing objectives to chase around the shinies. If someone had spent the time to pound into them that they need to learn to PvP instead of humoring them, there would be a lot less frustration on those games. I'll repeat myself in case you missed my point. Your role as a top player is not to coddle players. You are to be feared when flown against and someone to aspire to when flown with. You do so in a stock fighter. You do so better in a mastered craft. And get over your butthurt that you got hit heavy in a same faction match. Its an insult to fly against peers that have to hold themselves back, that have to look down on you as lacking in whatever. I certainly wont hold back against anyone I have even an ounce of respect for.

There's a channel up for the rep side too, but is sadly under used. More I think cause word hasn't gotten around rather then a lack of rep-side pilots. Que pops pretty regularly with 1-2 games going on when I get on(usually an hour after Xi'ao). Between Shadowlands and TEH though, I have to say if you just want more games, go to TEH. Quality of the aces on the Shadowlands is better imho if you want the challenge, but the que is faster on TEH with 3 concurrent games most times.

They mentioned during the live stream, that new players are restricted to 8v8 matches for their first few games. Ideally the match-making also kicks in to pair them with like gear/experienced pilots. Its the second part that comes up mostly as fail. Not all the blame for that goes to the matchmaking code though and sadly I don't see a fix for that part(low population) incoming.

You....stop blowing me up. Noticed you added another ship to your loadout.

Sorry to hear that. I do recognize a few of those names, and I think this GSF community will be poorer without you. All I can say is, as with anything pvp-related, gotta take the bad seeds along with the good stuffs. Been fun flying with you.

May have missed something since I've been lvling alts elsewhere, but agreed. When did the reps become such err....scaredy cats?

Why? Are you purposely not spending your reqs? Thats like asking why I can't do lvl 55 pvp or pve in my green armor. Do you remember those days? Just hitting max lvl 50, forced into a new bracket of play wearing nothing but crap gear? Before the days Bioware handed out a free set of starter gear? That was bad game design, giving folks a pass on grinding. Take your licks and get better. And don't give me bs that its a new character, grab the daily, play a match and boom...first upgrade.

True. Wishes my google powers were working right now so I could pull up the quote(believes it was during a Q&A at one of the Cantina tours). Regardless, if they are not going to do it for the ground pvp which has been around longer and is arguably still more popular, they are not gonna do it for GSF. Remember folks, we all use the same engine.
