Hi everyone thanks for leaving some great posts here, I just got in from work and was happy to read the first few pages. I'll bump with a short list of my own: Getting jumped by two ops in voidstar after the 1st bridge, who stun me to %30, poping my shield and huge AE knockback(commando) punting them into the pit, as i run away cackling with joy.. Killing Imperials around Mos Lla on Tatoinne until they bring an army whom i fight to the death. Defending Alderaan middle turret on my Commando from the upper level, I can pretty much farm there all day with 2 knockbacks. Someone asked what I meant when I said I enjoy the reactionairy combat. What I mean by that is I can react instead of getting insta 2-shotted without being able to put up SOME sort of fight. Scenario - Stunned by an Op, Instantly break the stun/knockback and ranged stun, he breaks myCC and heads toward me. O shizz better pop a shield and Kite like the wind, could go either way here. Also since the most recent patch that addressed the lagg/stutter issues in warzones I have no lagg, allowing smoother skill execution functionallity. Finally, I don't know exactly how to explain it other than balance, but I don't feel underpowered on any toon unless I put myself in a bad situation. CHEERS

I just wanted to create a positive thread about how much I am enjoying the pvp in Swtor. I capped my first toon and have been doing guild groups and Ilum as Republic and it has been a blast. I love the three warzones but I think what I enjoy the most about the pvp is the fastpaced reactionary combat. I don't have any hiching /lagg issues like so many others have said. I also got to do a lot of Open world pvp while leveling on Tatooine and Alderaan. I have an Alt that I keep around Most Lla and log him on now and again to gank some Imperials. 50 pvp is a ton more fun with brackets. Four guild members can pretty much own or at least have a gg against any other team. I wanted to make this post to discuss how other players are ENJOYING the pvp here. Please do not post if you don't have something positive to contribute. We all know a lot of forums warriors are here talking about how this and that sucks. That's great but this isn't the post for it, make your own if you can't contribute appropriately.

No some people have issues, they aren't the majority. And guess what there are actually people pvping and enjoying it. And i'm sure they want to have their needs and wants met also, but guess what they are enjoying the game still, not coming to the forums to demand fixes and say the sky is falling. I understand issues, i don't understand no patience though. They should have been fixed a long time ago? Really it hasn't been live for two months yet...and you think these "issues" should have been fixed a long time ago. I just wonder what it must be like to sit at a long red light with any these posters demanding fixes now now now...

There are lots of bridges for you guys to hide under you know that...no need to hang here, nothing to see.

I don't find it that similar to WAR pvp at all but i digress. WAR was a ton of fun until the trolls came in cryng nerf or buff or this or that. People left, servers died. Was it bad PVP no, it was a ton of fun, but after people starting thinking that it was bad in one way or the other they split. If you don't like the pvp noone is keeping you, and you'll save some $each month also not having to play this games atrocious pvp. I like many enjoy it a lot, some aspects of it moreso than i have since Daoc. While I am truly sorry you are having trouble dealing with whatever bothers you about pvp in Swtor I say deal with it and wait to see what changes come or simply leave. Both are better than coming to the forums posting how you don't like this or that.

GW2 will fail for one reason. Western players don't like looking like anime characters. Look at Aion if you don't believe me, huge in the east fail in the west. O and lol at GW2 combat it feels as if your playing on the Wii, very clunky movement, although it is nice that it is somewhat twitch based. And if it's anything like GW it will be a pain for any casual palyers because it's basically organized group v group. Leaving the guildless/casuals to get farmed all day.

Rank 60 owning Imperials all day in premades and ganking ALOT on tatoinne and Alderaan. Swtor pvp is ****. Also we have some good Ilum fights but my server seems to be an anomaly in that Republic is super organized and generally owns the Empire. O and to all those who are saying I am 50 and there is no pvp for me, please move on, you obviously don't know how to enjoy pvp without haveing a carrot dangleing in front of you, and you'll leave your respective pvp communities that much richer by removing yourself from the game. P.S. If you have cancelled your account, like so many have said in this thread, stop trolling the forums and take your negativity elsewhere.

SO funny every positive post is followed up by three or four negative ones. To me it's obvious the haters are here to hate. If you really don't have anything positive to contribute, and have cancelled your subscription as so many downplaying the game in this thread have said, then move on. LoL at using Vanilla WoW as a bar for releases. It was a pile at launch, a thousand times more unstable, with ridiculous population and Que issues.

Po5 has about 200 Rep on and 350ish Imps on fleet during primetime. It get's heavy for about six hours during that time. Great server with good warzones and good guild to propogate the pvp. I do believe a server merge would be a good thing. They need to spread out the Empire more evenly and possibly bring more Rep to the heavy imperial servers to try to balance them out more. In other words bring two rep. sides together against one heavy Empire server. I don't know if this is possible but IMO could solve many issues.

LoL for one the only ranged interupt in the game. Also a ranged root on a 12 sec cooldown and instant AE CC on a 1 min cooldown. A knockback, 4m stun on 30 second cooldown, and lets not forget the awesome group damage absorb. Also 20 sec CC immunity per minute is nice but we wont count that one. Now what do Dps commando's mercs have as far as utility? Crappy heals that can't outheal tank damage. A single target 2sec cast CC, which imo is the worst CC in the game. A single target stun w/ one minute cooldown. And a knockback, no slows no roots. Commando/Mercs don't have 1/2 the control of GS/snipers, especially on short cooldowns. DPs can be comparable but yea not as many tools in the bag.

LoL my Commando is battlemaster and I rerolled. Dunno how you are playing your sniper/gs but they absolutely faceroll mercs and commandos. And now that I play it I realize Sorcs/sages are cakewalk with my GS. Also Gravity round spam is nothing compared to Slingers dps...in all 3 specs.

Commando's merc need more movement that is my only complaint with them. Considering my battlemaster commando is on the shelf I believe i have a good understanding of the class and its mirror. Who said i can't legshot and run to my 35 range and stay there...cause that's the idea, then they really can't do damage to you...at all. Running in and out of 30 meter range is really priceless, you can kite their all day if you wanted to. Why because they need to cast to do damage... If you interupt a tracermissle/grav round spam they "should" be using their untalented version of the same move, which hits for jack so i have effectively done my job. Then after the interupt is down they will continue with their spam and I will flashbang to interupt, open up with burst and interupt again, because the cooldown is up by then, when they cast tracer missle. And yea that's gg vs Merc/commandos.

1 My one 50 toon was valor rank 50 when i level capped. It's really easy to cap your valor as you level. Reroll if you want, this time don't rush to 50 and get burnt out on the game. Silly poll is Silly. If by Rollback you guys are talking about putting the brackets back together then just LOL. To all the 50's that are b-hurt because they can't farm lowbies I pity you.

Yea i'll take my 30 yard interupt, 30 yard instant AE CC, and 35 yard range over a DPS sorc/merc sage/comm any day. One of the reasons I rerolled my Battlemaster commando. Fact is dps Mercs/sorcs are half as mobile as snipers/slingers with worse utility and dps. Unless they are heal specced Sorcs and mercs are so easy for a good player to shutdown its not even funny.

Sorcs own, but they aren't as mobile as snipers/slingers. Although i will say the Force speed is OP.

As others have posted Snipers/gunlingers both offer two highly mobile ranged specs that drop alot of AE and single target. O and I have had no problems leveling as a Dirty Fighting Gunslinger, i don't know how other people were. Dps pet + slinger = too much dps for elites.

My server is thriving, and republic is super strong in pvp here. Fast Q times in both brackets. I mostly play alts to pvp with doing the occasional illum or guild 50 group. I pretty much PvP exclusively although have done a few flashpoints which have been a blast. Anyway I see a lot or Imperials saying that they have horrible Q's and are leaving because of this and too much Huttball. Or not enough endgame content, whatever that means. Apparently the 12 sets of 50 armor, multiple flashpoints, and pvp arent enough to keep people occupied for more than the month and a half the game has been out. I feel like I've barely touched the game myself so my thought is perhaps those who think that way are just burnt out from overplaying. Sorry to hear that, perhaps try another server or the Republic side.

They both have insane single-target burst....the AE is just a nice bonus. Honestly i feel they are better to burst with than MM because i can take my time to setup where as in MM i am cover blasting...

See this is what i don't get. In the two slingers specs I use Dirty Fighting and the one with the charges I have insane mobility and barely use cover at all. As Df its Dot/dot channel and keep moving. The other spec is pretty much the same except you need to wait for your timed burst. Why people play MM for pvp i do not know...especially considering its the only spec that is heavily mitagated by armor. I guess people will just keep saying Slingers/Snipers are highly immoble because of their cover, when i might use it for a knockback once a round or to avoid getting charged.

Have you played the other two Slinger specs? They barely use cover at all and are super mobile. I find Dirty Fighting to be an amazing mobility /dot spec. Cover needs work no doubt, you have to be thinking three steps ahead to use it properly. My biggest complaint is really pathing issues where it won't fire at all. I hope they do a workover on it soon.

Yes but to do damage as either Gunnery or the Mercenary equivelent they basically have 1 major attack which needs to be spammed at least 5 times to do any amount of damage on pretty much anything. So interrupt that once, means they wont be doing any dmg to you for 4 seconds, sounds short but when they can't use the one ability they are looking for it really ****s them up. Lagg is an issue for the interupt, what I like to do is look for them to stop moving then wait to use interupt. Mercs, sorcs NEED to be stationary to dps, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, so when you see them stop moving chances are they are gonna try to dps you. Start spamming interupt...

All the time, I stay out of their range and dps them...it's kinda the way to play ranged. What's really funny is i can see the Sorcs/mercs starting to cast and i just run away...then run back in and drop a dot or charge.
