Yes sir! I've done it many times, and even aim to do it if I havn't gotten my 2.5k heal medal as the match is going on. Bubble and force speed through the jets = a quick medal.

Arsenal merc pvp from my xp goes like this... 10-49 You rock for the most part. Can almost go where you want and do what you want as long as you are still being somewhat smart about where you're placing yourself. 50 You start seeing a decline. You can still rock, but it takes a lot more effort. You have to be extra careful as to where you are and who is around you. You will need your team mates a lot more. I pretty much lvl'd my merc through pvp. When I was in the 10-49 bracket I would sit around 250k-300k dps and could hold off single's coming at me while protecting a node solo. In the 50 bracket, I only adv 200k-250k dps and the only way I can defend a node solo is if it's single and the other player has no clue what they are doing. It's almost backward from what you would expect. You would figure that at lower lvls you would have a harder time dps'n and having to rely on your team, but it's at 50 where you start to feel that more. I still enjoy playing my merc as arsenal, but I have to be way more team based then I was in 10-49. I also find myself gang ganked a lot more as well. Even if there are team mates around me. I also see a lot of team mates complain at the beginning of a match when they see a merc...

When I say foundation I am referring to the "thought or idea" behind how it was thought to be. Just to be clear, I am not defending the current pvp status. I am just against people saying that BW has shown us they plan on doing nothing about it. 2 months in the length of MMO's is a blink of an eye. There are changes to be made for sure, but to expect them to have them all solved by 8am tomorrow morning is wrong. Saying my argument is flawed because they should of had all the bugs worked out is also wrong. Game's have bugs. Period. We all want the bugs to be at a minimum, but they are going to be there. No MMO, and I don't care what one you look at, had bugs and continues to have bugs. They are more noticeable right after launch for a couple reasons. One, there are things that happen that dev's don't expect (happens to all mmo's), and two in the gaming industry everything is judged against a more polished product (in case that would prolly considered WoW). So, i'll repeat myself again, if the state of an mmo is in the same state as launch, in terms of bugs/issues, 6-8 months after the release... Then there is a problem. We are less then 2 months in....

I was just useing that as an example that they do look at things. I never said they were perfect. I actually wanted to use the fix they were working on for the abilities not working when it said they were off CD, but was lazy. Like I said though... example. They do look and try which means they care. It's when they stop caring that's people should raise a sh*t fit.

Again, you are going off less then 2 months worth of facts. Then when they say they want to do something you put your nose in the air at it. People say that the changes to the bags are dumb (which I tend to agree), and that it leaves new 50's no choice but to go against the geared 50's. So they say they'll make rated, but no no. That's not good enough. Is it the end all answer? No, but it DOES show they to do listen (even if it's only to a certain degree) and want to give us something. That is what people should be concerning themselves with at this point. Is there anything to show that they are trying? The answer is yes. Again, doesn't solve all the problems, but the focus should be on the fact that they are attempting to fix the problems. It's when they stop trying that people should be up in arms. I can't said it enough... It's been less then 2 months... They tried, and failed in some areas. This is true, but to expect that they can just make the correct changes by snapping their fingers is just wrong. As I said before, if this were the state of the game after 6-8 months of release I would be standing next to those people with a torch in hand. It takes time to look over data, figure out how to do the actual changes, write/change code, and apply it. That is why there is a test server, because they if it were possible to write the fix and know that 100% without a doubt that it would work there would be no reason for one. It's a process.

After reading through like 7 pages of this **** I can only come to the conclusion that too many of you are ready to drive a stake in the game's heart. It hasn't even been released a full 2 months yet! Yet here you sit complaining that it's the beginning of the end. Why? Because the game doesn't already have everything in it? That BW hasn't shown anything to you that it's going to improve? That there are bugs/imbalance issues to be worked out? Come on... What we have here is an excellent foundation to be a great game. Does it need more endgame content? Sure, but if you think for a second that more content is not in the works then you are plain wrong. Every MMO wants to add content (pve and pvp), and this is no different. It takes time to develop. The devs don't wake up and check their mailbox to see if some magic package has arrived that yields this stuff. To say that BW hasn't shown you that it is going to look at things and make changes or add to the game is plain ridiculous. The history of this game has shown us NOTHING, because there is yet to be any real history to go off of yet. If this was 6-8 months old and there was the same problems as one can expect at launch I would be more on board with you guys, but it is way too early to make this claim. In fact so far they have shown that they are indeed working on things. For example http://www.swtor.com/blog/incoming-changes-global-cooldown-ui As far as bugs/imbalance it can be said for every MMO. There has not been even one MMO that I have played (starting playing MMO's in the mid 90's with EQ) that has never had bugs or imbalance issues from time to time. That is why all these games have to be taken down for maintenance and patches. Problems come up, and they look into it. It takes time. Again, some magic package does not arrive that has all the answers or fixes in it. What I see here is what this world has come too. People who want everything right here, right now and heaven forbid if it's not. I got to level cap and now I want more stuff now, and while your at it change this and that, and oh yeah... Don't leave this out too. I bet most of you complaining about wanting this or that are the same people who complained that they rushed the game out too fast. There is no pleasing you people. You want it now, but are never happy with what you get. Give them time to build a history, and if the facts of that history are bad then grab your pitchforks. In essence, they cut you off in traffic and maybe deserve the finger at this point for some stuff, but you act like they broke into your home shot your puppy while making you watch... Relax.

I agree. Maybe give a bonus for every stat leader. Everything but medals get the value of atleast 1 mvp vote, and maybe an extra one for top overall. Meaning the highest stat proportional to what category that stat is in, or give the extra to objective since that stat is supposed to be based on actually helping your team win. I would leave medals out cause they are their own bonus to begin with.

Think of Huttball as a sport. I can go in the backyard and play against my friends and that doesn't make them my enemy..... You get a lot of Huttball results from your que because there are not enough players of the other faction who are in que for anything other WZ to pop. Ofcourse I get the feeling that you don't really care about the reasons, and if they took out the only same faction WZ we have, you would be complaining about the length of que times. Begone troll!

Don't worry, I'm sure everyone hates you too...

lol yup. Hard to believe someone is complaining about others being to easy to kill....

Every game has an sort of cap on as far as you can go in endgame. I remember ppl in WoW blowing through the raid content, and then begging for more raids. It happens. They will release more. You are just going to have to wait. Are you capped on WZ comm's, filled in all of the Codex, gotten all of the cubes, etc? If not, there ya go. Something to do.

You think WoW was the first of MMO's? WoW copied tons of stuff from other games. that is the nature of gaming. You take what works, put your own personal spin on it, and work to add even more. that's how it was before WoW, and that's how it will continue to be. Glad to see duel spec is coming, but changing AC's would be wrong. AC= Advanced Class! Changing classes is just plain wrong.

Couldn't say it better myself

So if I were to stay with darkness my job would basicly to make myself as annoying as possible while not worrying about doing a ton of dps, correct?

No one has anything to add? I was thinking of doing what I did with my BH. Pvp in the mid to late 30's and buy a full set of lvl 40 gear. When I did it with my BH it gained me a couple lvls which helped me really keep ahead of my pve content. Plus I had a full set of gear waiting for me to throw on when I did pop 40. I mainly played rng'd dps in every mmo I've played. While not a huge problem in pve I just wanted to get some up to date info from ppl who do pvp with their Sin's to help me when I do try. I thank you all again for any info/advice that you can give.
