Does everyone in this thread PVP solo? I PVP with a sentinel and a sage and we roll fools. Of course I die to the occasional marauder or guardian, but every class in this game has its weaknesses. The game is not balanced at all for PVP. I also have a level 50 PT and I really prefer my commando. Knock back is way more useful than pull period! I do miss the AOE cryo freeze, but we can't have it all. I was merely pointing out some strategies that would make you a better commando in PVP. And yes if you know what your doing it is possible to LOS people. It is also possible to use cd's and kite people into half your team. My spec is Assault Specialist 3/6/31 for pure DPS. Finally, if you want to play a commando L2 Kite if not you might as well play a melee class!

I couldn't disagree with the OP more. I am loving my DPS commando and on certain maps I am simply a beast. Absolutely, choose Assault Specialist as your spec for DPS. Tips for Commando PVP gameplay: 1) Use your surroundings wisely- In hutball always stand near a flame pit or slime pit, your never gonna be a BC anyways. I can knock 3 people at a time into the the flame pit if timed properly. In voidstar, stand close to the abyss pit for knock backs and use the pillars to LOS slingers. In Noware, stand behind East or West and knock people into the minefield. In Civil war stand on the ledges in mid and always be near the nodes on the sides so you can knock people down. 2) Kite, Kite and Kite some more! Perfect your range on sents/maras by standing out of their hit box , but close enough so they can't leap. Always be on the move unless you are casting fullauto, if you are on a melee target and you are looking for the bolt proc, stop to cast auto and then move before full cast is complete to get the proc. Remember to spam hammer shot in between Cd's. 3) Don't forget you can heal! LOS people and toss a quick heal on yourself. Hope this helps, commandos are incredibly fun once you learn the play style. They play more like a dot and run class than a stand in one place and shoot.

A computer virus has infected every droid in the galaxy causing them to become hostile towards all lifeforms. This includes medic-droids, companions, defense turrets and every other droid in the game. I leave it up to you BW to fill in the details.

To Senden, Lol at the video. Best post so far.

To Tsillah, I fully agree with your post. I also played a cleric in Aion and I agree it was miserable. It was not my intention in my response to Darth to compare SWTOR to any other MMOS, other than suggesting like Perfect World, BW should try to add more world events. To be honest, the funnest healer I have ever played in an MMO is the Chloromancer in Rift. It is a mage / healer class, which can heal by doing damage.

In response to DarthDrachonus, Why is it whenever someone posts a criticism of any MMO the trolls cry ," his points are not valid because he played World of Warcraft?" My MMO experience includes but is not limited to: Everquest, Aion, Rift, WOW, Final Fantasy (multiple versions), LOTRO, World of Tanks, S4 League, Runes of Magic, Perfect World and many more! As to your point, that I should be farming Black Hole daily coms, obviously you misunderstood that I am a PVP player and have no use for that PVE garbage! In fact, I have not been in a level 50 FP or OPS, despite having 4 level 50s. As to my so called whining, it is truly a valid point, that when SWTOR released it had a viable World PVP element in the game. Regarding this point, I would be more sympathetic with the devs if they had not initially released the game with a World PVP element. To put an element in the game, then take it away is just bad policy! The broken version of Illum was far better than no Illum at all. Finally, many other MMO's are able to release content on a regular basis and I am not just talking about WOW. For instance, Perfect World has many world events to keep its players engaged in the game. My suggestion to the devs is that they spend less time on gimmicks like new companions and more time on playable content. It would be fairly easy for the devs to create a world event like the Rakghoul plague! Not all criticism is whining, take my opinions for what they are worth, but the intent of my post was to help the devs not to flame the game! Think of it as an exit interview.

I am going to try to do a rational estimate of the numbers based on my play experience. At prime time on my server "The bastion" there is between 250-400 people on the fleet. If we take a guess at how many people are in OPS, FPS, WZS and leveling I would say probably 1000 people are online during prime time. Obviously, there are more subs than that on my server so let's take the prime time number of 1000 and multiply it by 10. That gives my server 10,000 active subs. If we randomly apply this guesstimate to all the servers we get. 14 United states servers = 10,000 x 14 = 140,000 active subs 11 European servers = 10,000 x 11 = 110,000 active subs 3 Asian servers = 10,000 x 3 = 30,000 active subs Excluding trial accounts, which shouldn't count anyways, we get a total of 280,000 active subs. I imagine this number is higher, due to all the people, who are waiting for their 6 month subs to expire on AUG 18th. I also imagine after AUG 28th these numbers will be halved again due to the GW2 release. Whether or not people come back will depend on the success of GW2. At the very least, we will see the same trend as when D3 was released.

This post is not going to be a complain session trashing this game, although I will point out a couple of things in the game I dislike. I stuck around longer than all my friends, who bailed on this game in the first few months. I would like to explain the things I will miss and the reason I am not renewing. My sub runs out in the middle of August and I will be moving on to GW2. Things I will miss: Hutball- I believe this is the most innovative PVP zone I have come across in my 10+ years of MMO gaming. I wish the devs (as they stated they might) had made a variety of Hutball maps sooner! Knockbacks/pulls, into the fire and the abyss- although these mechanics are not innovative, they work really well in SWTOR and add a buffer of defense for weaker geared players. Healing B4 the nerf - pvp healing in this game was at least partially fun until they nerfed trooper/mercs and sorc/sage, while buffing sents/maras at the same time. Illum after Spawnpoint/Graveyard change- I am one of the few people that really enjoyed Illum once they fixed the spawn point camping. I love world PVP, specifically the gratification of having 3 people jump you and you waste them all The reasons I am not renewing: No viable world PVP- World PVP gives max level pvp players something to do while waiting for warzone pops. It also helps PVP guilds create a sense of unity and provides PVP guilds with an activity they can accomplish as a group. Since, Illum was removed or abandoned by the devs, there has been no replacement or even hints at replacing it! I am going to see how fun the eternal battlegrounds are in GW2. PVP healing is the least fun out of any MMO I have played- unless I am healing on my smuggler I hate pvp healing in this game. Healers SHOULD be able to dispel slow/root effects at least on themselves! Especially, since a well geared combat sentinel can 4 hit you. As a PVP healer, I should not have to rely on having a tank and a 2nd healer keep me alive! Resolve should also work against interupts for healers. Stun-Stun-interupt while resovled stun-stun dead! Sometimes, I can go 5 minutes in a match without getting a single cast heal off! Hence, the reason i will only heal as a smuggler. Lack of any content news coming from BW- I am sorry BW but I could give 2 pieces of farmville muck about companions, legacy and social based game improvements! When will you add a World PVP zone? When will you add new warzones? When will you add any new endgame content? When will you have another world event? These are the types of things your players want to know, not that in 4 months they can get a new droid companion! Goodbye my fellow Star Wars fans, I wish all of you countless hours of fun playing!
