that makes sense.. I guess at later levels the burst between op and assassin is comparable then?

what's the skinny? I have a 28 shadow, and 30 op. The burst from shadow seems much better than op (concealment)?

I think there are alot of people who expect way too much out of a game. I would also love to hear about these "other games" with much better PvP? I've played wow, warhammer, aion, and rift. SWTOR's pvp is better than all of them. Is it 10x better? no, but it's better. 1-49 is some of the funnest pvp I've seen. This imaginary game you guys think is out there, with PvP nirvana night after night, simply does not exist.

again why I say, it blows my mind they have not put in a 50's bracket yet. This is a no-brainer that they have totally dropped the ball on.

this is good advice, but I really like to pvp and it really sucks right now.

u r absolutely right, i need to chill, but this is really a joke.

dude, every WZ i'm in the imp team is at least 1/2 50's. Perhaps on other servers, but on mine there is no point to queue if your not 50.

it blows my mind they have not put a 50's bracket in yet... this is f'ing ridiculous and anybody with the brain capacity of a gnat who has done a WZ knows it.

^^^ this ^^^

are you able to buy / bank level 50 pvp gear prior to turning 50?

because level is not the issue, expertise gear is. bolster works pretty well for 1-49.

I think queues will be shorter. My guess is many people quit queueing because of getting rolled by 50's.

Can someone explain what the PvP gear progression is? I know there are "bags", mercenary commendations, etc. but not sure how it all fits together? thanks!

this!! bolster works fine, the problem is expertise and level 50's. They need their own bracket now.

what a brilliant response! anybody with a brain the size of a gnat knows 50's in WZ's is borked. They are going to fix it, but it really sucks right now to try and PvP sub 50.

bolster works pretty good for 1-49... the main issue is level 50's with expertise gear.

anybody in here saying 50's are ok in WZ's have not played against a 50 with expertise gear.

OP is dead on about level 50 WZ's. Many people will quit if PvP is not fun, and for most of the player base it is currently not fun because of level 50 raid bosses running around destroying everybody.

bump for justice... 50's are absolutely ruining pvp right now for most of the player base.

have they said anything about when 50's might get their own bracket? It's getting pretty silly, at least on my server.

I believe it's called whining but really, 50's need a bracket all their own, very soon.

I really enjoyed the first week of PvP, bolster seemed reasonable. Now I'm getting insta-gibbed by 50's in WZ's.... not so much fun now.

This isn't a problem, it's a trade-off... playing the "cool" side vs. WZ queue times. If queue times are a priority, roll republic. If you like the empire story-line, look-and-feel, etc. then stick with Imperial.

needs some UI tweaks, but really really really hope we don't see addons and macros.
