Ran into an issue on Trial and error today. Locked door immediately after the second boss battle. http://imgur.com/a/u02KK Can't open. Wat do?

I play marksmen spec on GS and do just fine in warzones. I never hit top damage dealer, but the difference between 320000 and 300000 damage is just minutia. All we got was a buff. Not a very big buff mind you, but good enough for me. Our survivability is still very low, but if you play like you are supposed to, line of sighting, staying well back, taking targets of opportunity, and making good use of your 3 defensive abilities, you will notice you can do much better than most if you have good healers on your team. No class can perform as much consistent DPS as us, save sentinels and their sith equivalent, or be able to target quickly get the finishing blow on as many enemies as us. (Consistent DPS meaning the ability to start shooting and enemy and keep shooting an enemy until its dead without popping our energy cooldown. Especially when we have a good rotation) How many times have you seen a group of enemies all hovering at very low health running back to mommy (sorcs and sages) and able to quickly finish them off with quick draw, instant cast charge blast and trick shot maybe throwing in sabo charge to help out and get all of them before they take you to half? On the topic of ranked pvp. Well if you are going in solo to ranked pvp, you are doing it wrong. Very very very wrong. An 8 man "kitchen sink" group of pugs will always lose to a well rounded team that plays smart and efficiently. And yes, Gunslingers will have their uses in those groups.

What I am talking about is for new characters. New players. I highly doubt anyone is really going to quit the game they just paid 60 dollars for and possibly a 2-3 or even 6 month subscription just because they did not get to roll a darth shepard invader. With the provision for invites from friends to "bypass" the system so that you can play with your friends or guildmates, there is literally no downside. You could even set it up to where it would let you reroll another character after hitting level 30. By that time people will have liked their class and will want to continue it. Even after rolling their Darth (insert innuendo name here)

Lol dude you are preaching to the choir about pvp and imbalance. (EVE player.) But it isnt just ilum. Make an imp character and just go to the fleet and look at the numbers. Its completely imbalanced. I hear people talk about running EV or KP and seeing 60-70 people in the imp side yet I have never seen more that 30. Although that is a good thing as it keeps the tards from spamming general chat and complaining about bugged pylons and SOA. But the point is still there. Ive seen a HUGE overpopulation every single time. If you run ilum then you know what I am talking about. Everyone camping in the rep base while a trooper or shadow tries to pull in an imp that gets to close, hoping you get 1 shot on him before the turret kills him.

I am on the Port Nowhere PVP server. No matter what time of day, no matter which Ilum instance, and no matter who I run with, the same thing happens. Imperial side of the Ilum warzone is about a 2/1 ratio vs republic numbers. My group has even decided to go to ilum 2 to dominate that battlefield. It only takes about 10-15 minutes before the imps come over and outnumber us again. It isnt just ilum either. If you look at the imp market on my server vs the rep market or even just look at the numbers on each planet. You can tell that the imps outnumber the reps by a large margin. Bioware I know you know about this. Is there any way possible to set some kind of limit on a server? Like if too any imperials or republic are on it then the server will not let you create a character on the imp or rep side. Of course you would need a way to exclude inactive accounts, and possibly exclude characters that were created for the sole purpose of crafting. And to prevent some extra discomfort, you could set up some kind of invite system that will let you invite someone so that they can make an imp or rep character even if one side or the other is locked out because of overpopulation. That way you dont prevent friends from playing with each other because of overpopulation.
