The audience broke into applause when Jar Jar force choked Spock into giving him Voldemort's tesseract
This has got to be one of the best replies i have ever read on these forums, i am still LMAO!
-
Its none of my business...
But I am curious what happened and why you want to pursue this...
If i told you the reason, BW would delete this thread in a heart beat. Truth hurts...
-
What is written in that clause does not apply to you. Everything else in the terms still do. Pretty much all you need to know. If BW screws you over hard, you can sue them in court, whereas I would have to go through arbitration with a third party for resolution instead.
Thank you for the quick responses. So if i get this right, i can bring Bioware/EA in court for "X" reason. That would be 1 hell of a legal battle, since i am in another country. My province's courts, the U.S.'s courts? Holly suing batman! Gonna have to get hold of a lawyer to see if this is feasible and how much it would cost.
Thank you again, this does clarify a bit of my confusion. A much better response then i got from costumer services.
-
It means you would not have to go through arbitration if you have an in-game dispute that you can't resolve with BW. You would have to take legal action through the court system. The rest of the terms still apply unless noted like this elsewhere.
Assume i know NOTHING about the legal system in the U.S. I am still confused

Hello fellow SWTOR gamers,
I am not sure if this the right forum to ask, but here goes...
"SECTION 19, BELOW, REQUIRES ALL DISPUTES THAT CANNOT BE INFORMALLY RESOLVED BETWEEN US TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS."
"This provision applies to all consumers to the fullest extent allowable by law, but expressly excludes residents of Switzerland, Russia, Quebec and the Member States of the European Union."
Those quotes are taking directly from Bioware/EA's term of service page http://www.swtor.com/legalnotices/euala. I have tried to get a response from costumer service, but like all good politicians, they avoided the question. So, i come here in hopes that some of you understand all this legal mumbo-jumbo.
My question is, since my IP is located within the province of Quebec, does this mean my account has no rights under there terms of service, or does it mean that there terms of service do not apply to me?
Then again, i might be WAY off-track. I am not a lawyer by profession, so i need some clarifications.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Here goes...
472 Days / 17 Hours / 57 Minutes. As of today and still going strong...
That is across 13 toons on 1 server. I did not count other servers, as they probably do not count over 1 day all together.
I need a new hobby...

Just came across this thread.
I too have just came across this thread. Thx for the shout-out! I remember those first few months of GSF, it was great but got anti-climatic after a while
Nowadays, i mostly fly solo and i group up once in a while with some of the names that were mentioned on this thread. Holla!
I have joined "Republic Alliance" and they just made me raid lead for 1 of there ops teams, so my time in GSF will be a bit less, but i will always fly when i can and want to do some real space pew-pew
I know i am not the best pilot out there, some names come to mind that put me to shame: Qwest, Scrabs (His flying style reminds me so much of Grunty) and a few others i cannot remember atm. Does not matter, i guess you know who you are and its always fun to test my piloting skills against great pilots.
1 day i will lock you down Qwest, maybe when Alderean finally gets blown up...
Good hunting everybody and remember, HAVE FUN!

I have noticed some weird things in GSF on JC as well. To be more precise, one specific pilot. I will not name them, though my guild has taken a stance and has begun leaving the match if we see him. I am ok with dieing, it's part of the game, but I am not ok with being 2-shot by a scout ship in a maxed out Warcarrier. 90k damage from a scout ship (60k more than anyone else in the match) is a Domination match is obscene, and in my opinion, a blatant example of an unfair advantage. I have worked and reworked my own scout ship to try to replicate the result. No dice.
I do not know enough about scouts to explain this, maybe a more experienced scout pilot can try and explain? But even if anybody can, 90k in a domination match seems a bit excessive
Edit: Did it happen in more than 1 match? If it happened only once, that is 1 lucky pilot (The RNG gods were with him that match), but if it happens on a regular basis, that would get my attention.
-
Ive been playing starfigher for a long time. And have noticed the odd "weirdness" but it could be down to lag or some server issue.
Although last week I pop on a Deathmatch against an obvious premade (opposition had about 6 ships from the fleet rather than the usual 3, etc...) We'll looked like we were in for a rough time....
However, after things going from bad to worse, despite me killing three the scores were 4 to 30 to them.... but then when I had a scout almost about to die, I had missile locked on and fired, he barrelled rolled into a asteroid... Oh well... at least it will count to the score....
But no... it was still 4 to now...34... so his suicide didnt count... I thought a suicide in DM counts as a point??
I saw it happen again 4 more times.... the match ended 8 to 50...me with 4 another with 3 and another with 1. everything else nothing... but the opposition didnt have 50 kills and looks like none of their suicides counted as a point against them... I scrolled through the chat and saw around 15 suicides from them..
To be fair I only saw this the once in tons of DM but was very peed off.
Anyone else seen this?
Never saw this before, but i will add it to my list of things to watch out for.

hey battle it joristins I moved to another server jc is dead and not going any were, but any way I always notice ships disappearing from the screen though I think my vido card was the issue but not sure... any way I play on jc as recopalatso and I notice some things...
now sabotage probe I have notice if I hit with it the ship acts like nothing happened except he will have less hp (100% hull damage) don't know if that a bug or a hack but need to be looked at..
other then that I changed to another server faster times better games and man oh man the sill of the pilots I play with now makes our server look sad I don't know if they think of me of as an ace any more.... but ill keep playin cause I love gsf
later man see u out thereThere is something funky going on with sabotage probe, i will use retros with my strike and still get hit by it. And i have seen my targets getting hit by it and no effect. But i do not think its any hacks, maybe its the almighty server lag or latency, maybe its bad coding, who knows... (only the devs know)
I still play on JC and recently started a toon on TEH for strike night (Pub side with the same name). Still in the process of mastering it. I did 2 strike nights so far and without a mastered strike it can get really nasty
-
Actually, this guy scored rather poorly.
Still., the problem is how the server handles lag - friendly to lagging players, horrible for those who shoot at them. (updating the ship position when resyncing according to client data - i.e. flying straight (lag spike starts) - client is turning , on server he is still flying straight(spike ends) server moves the ship to client-reported position (potential for exploits!))...
Look at the video again, He finished 1st on the score board. This is a W.T.F. moment
Edit: My mistake, he did score poorly. But still, W.T.F.?

2nd, this part is for BW developers:
https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...tor+hacks+2014
https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...rfighter+hacks
if i can use Google to find those, i hope you dudes/dudettes know it also.
And other stuff i have observed. I do not have a video capture on my computer (i wish i had 1, not tech-savvy enough) so i cannot prove anything. These are just my personal observations. If any of you have observed any of these or anything else "weird" going on, this is the thread to mention it.
So, in conclusion, i hope BW does not stop fighting the good fight against hacking in SWTOR.
PPS: I DO NOT encourage the use of ANY hacks and condone ANYBODY who does use them. If you do, YOU SUCK
I do not want to know the names of the pilots. Let BW take care of that.
This is what i mean. Weird stuff going on that makes you go "Huh!?!" Keep an eye out fellow pilots! And if some of you have video capture of 'weird stuff going on", please post it on this thread.
It is always an on-going battle vs Hacks / Hackers in any game and we the players (Again, at least me) have our eyes out for stuff like that. Keep fighting the good fight!
Always hard to tell if its a hack or just good piloting. That is why i keep judgement to myself and that i want to keep flying against those that get my attention before i cry fowl.
I thought i was clear enough. I guess not.

I get that I'm not contributing to the thread's stated purpose. I don't mean to say that BD is a bad pilot, we just had a game yesterday that I thought was pretty fun and we went almost even in it. What I mean to say is that this thread's stated purpose as a whole is not valuable, and in fact I think it is actively harmful to the GSF community overall.
When we lose a game, we can think one of two things. They are:
1) Try to figure out what the other team did better than us. Go back over their strategies, their ship choices. Compare them to ours. Try to think of any ways to adapt, change builds, use a different ship, go to a different place at a different time. Try to actually get better.
OR
2) Throw up our hands, say "WELP THOSE GUYS PROLLY HACKED" and play exactly the same way the next game.
One of these ways makes the community better. One of them makes it worse. As the history of the thread prior shows, it's being used as a support group for people who desperately want to do #2. Rather than learn that the central gameplay mechanic of bombers is to poop mines, they decide that the game should give them the right to fly directly behind bombers and that pooping mines is "hacking." Rather than learn to ignore lagging players (since they are as useless to their team as they are impossible to hit), they find that to be an excuse for getting outplayed by a team down a player and thus avoid wasting a single moment of thought on how to adapt to the strategies that outplayed them.
For example, in that game we played yesterday I retro-thrustered into an asteroid like an idiot. I can either learn to have better spatial awareness and control of my abilities, or I can claim that you "hacked" the asteroid behind me and never change a single thing.
"Trolling" is intentionally acting contrary to what you really think or believe in order to get a reaction out of someone and sow discord. I'm not trying to do that. I'm very earnestly trying to derail a thread that I think is horrible for the community and making us worse as a playerbase.
Almost everything you mention is true. Since i started this thread i had only 1 W.T.F. moment and mentioned it. But what i do not understand is y making a thread for keeping an eye out for hackers horrible?
-
I remember you (I think Spawnkiller is the name that jumps out at me, though the others do look familiar)...and I appreciate the shout out (I'm Zuckerkorn).
That said...while I don't know what went down between you and BD, I can at least vouch for his skill as a pilot. For a while I thought BD was merely a satellite-humping bomber guy - one of the better ones, for sure - but more or less a one-trick pony. I was wrong. I play mostly imp side, and he rolled a toon over there, flying just a Rycer - no bomber in sight (nor anything else in his hangar) - and generally cleaned up. I have respect for anyone who can truly hold his/her own in a strike. And only a strike.
Also, I like tacos, my two pre-schoolers quite enjoy the Lego Movie, and every one of my cars have been 5-speeds (no auto trans for me). Each of these items, along with the verbiage above, is about equally relevant to the topic at hand.
Now back to your regularly-scheduled Forum Wars.
Thanx Max, right back at you for the respect
Just to clarify, i recently added a Legion to my hanger. Great for support, can take one hell of a beating, steers like a cow
(I am at heart a strike pilot, but i like to switch roles once in a while) I just wish i could join "strike night" on TEH more often -
There is so much failure to understand this thread, it blows my mind... To the SammyGStatus, Urien, Buggleslor, Jason_Baker and anybody else who does not understand the meaning of this thread, sucks to be you.
I wont try and explain it to you, as anything i post will be shot down, ridiculed, etc...
And if you do post to ridicule me or anybody else who posted something weird going on, maybe you have something to hide? Maybe you have a secret you do not want anybody to find out? Maybe the Moon is not aligned with Mars this month? Maybe read the last paragraph in Stewie's voice when he talks to Brian about the book he's writing?
I kid, i kid. I did learn something: It is kinda fun to write anything i like...
-
LMAO!!!!
I will bite: If i do not know the meaning, could you please explain it to me?

YOU DONT GET TO CHOSE WHAT PEOPLE SAY IN ANY THREAD! Freedom of Speech applies to the internet bud. This is a FORUM, where as long as the TOS isn't violated, anyone can say anything they desire
Thank you captain obvious. Are they contributing? Are they trolling?
It does not matter if i got shot down by anybody. If anybody does it on a regular basis, good for you. It does not matter if anybody has never seen a hack. It does not exclude the fact that they CAN exist.
This thread is to report ANYTHING you notice that MIGHT be something weird. If you are hear to tell me i suck and that you shoot me down on a regular basis, its not contributing. Its trolling.
Edit: The internet, gotta love it sometimes...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Jason_baker's post was one of the most (if not only) valuable posts in this necro-ed thread of pathetic paranoia and excusemaking.
Half the "reports" in this thread are simply people not understanding how the game works. "I was flying behind a bomber and suddenly a mine blew me up! Hacks!" Seriously? At this point, who doesn't watch for the big floating name that tells you who has damage overcharge? (I've been accused of hacking several times after dipsticks decide to head-to-head me while I have one). Did you really not know that you can hit someone without targeting them?
Every single other "hack" is exactly what you'd expect to see from either you or the other player lagging. Have you really followed a ship around without targeting them or shooting at them to determine that they "only" lag when you're shooting, or do you only notice that they're lagging when you're shooting because it's the only time you notice them period?
It's possible they have a second computer on their network with hd video or something queued that they start up when they're under attack to induce lag.. but if that is happening, what could bioware possibly do about it?
I too have been playing GSF on JC since last December and not once have I witnessed anything that made me suspect hacking. I've seen a lot of creative builds that can do things I didn't expect. I've fought a lot of pilots better than me. But not once have I been unable to figure out how they beat me well within the rules established by the game.
This is a thread solely for paranoid whining and trying to pretend like anyone other than yourself is responsible for your failures. If someone destroys you, own up and get better.
How many times am i gonna have to do this?

I've played with and against you ( Battledress ) in GSF. I have at least 2 to 16 toons on every english speaking server NA and EU. I've played thousands of GSF matches. I'm not a ace but I do ok against ok pilots. I stop playing Jedi covenant due to low queue pops and I mostly play on Harbinger now.
I've noticed some of the things you have commented on with instance kills and such. I believe its due to different builds of ships and pilot skills. I have come up against two pilots on Harbinger that seems to have the ability to instance kill or are indestructible but I do not believe they are cheating.
I remember a match I played against you on Jedi Covenant and my team lost something like 50-4 or 6 I really don't remember for sure. I solo killed you several times in that match with a stock ship with maybe one or two upgrades on it. If I remember correctly you were the only pilot that died on your team. You came unglued and accused me of running a lag switch and camping on a spawn point. You even threaten me by telling me that you would post my toon name as a bad pilot and that I cheated. Well I switched toons after that match and was queued in on your team several matches later. You actually praised me for my piloting skills under my different toon name but I noticed you were camping and lagging (no I don't believe you were cheating but then again...). I noticed ever time you had a bad match you would comment on cheating in chat. I started chatting with other pilots at the time and they noticed the same thing about you. This all happen about 3-4 months ago and I laughed when I saw this post and the part you consider yourself an ace. You are good but you are no ace and if you were.....well you would fly on Ebon Hawk, Harbinger, Bastion or POT5 but if you're on these servers well good for you. I liked the pilots on the JC server like Sithace, Zuckerhorn and several others but unfortunately JC queue pops suck otherwise I would still be there. Trust me I was humbled when I started flying on Harbinger and Bastion and please don't blame others of cheating because they are better or lucky.
You might remember a few of these Battledress
Call signs are as follows,
J'zen, (Pub) JC- On Harbinger now as Ka'Boom.
Solless, (Imp) JC- now on Harbinger.
Volaraa, (Pub) JC- now on Harbinger.
Laich, (Imp) JC - now on Bastion.
Olantris, (Pub) JC- still there but will be transferring soon to Bastion once I have the funds.
Siaga, (Imp) JC- still there but will be transferring soon to POT5 once I have the funds.
Spawnkiller, (Imp) JC- still there. He was my very first toon when SWTOR launched and I will keep him on JC.
Hanbil, (Pub) JC- This is the one you threaten.
I originally had 16 toons on JC.
Haven't been on JC since March or April but I might fly a few matches there in the next week or so.
Have a nice day Battledress.

Bump.
To keep this thread alive for any weird stuff going on...
I have had an odd thing happen to me: when i fly against a certain pilot on rep side (JC), my latency goes out the window... when i fly without that pilot in the match, my latency is just fine (usually between 30 and 40 ms). It has happened on every occasion that this particular pilot is in the match. Weird or what?
-
/ When you wake up and realize that last night's dreams were all GSF-related
-
I have noticed same thing, it seems that number of lagging players rised.
I can offer another explanation to this: school is out, the number of players will increase (or decrease, depending on what they do for vacation) so there will be some that think lag switches or finding hacks for GSF will be fun to do.
Or it could just be a problem server side that BW is not telling us. Either way, i will keep an eye out (and others also).
Always hard to tell if its a hack or just good piloting. That is why i keep judgement to myself and that i want to keep flying against those that get my attention before i cry fowl.
-
Please give me your toons' names so I know what I'm getting into when I see you in a match.
please do.

If you have witnessed anything that might be considered a hack or a bug or anything weird, i refer you to this thread:
Force awakens sad swtor realization. Not a spoiler but a dissatified customer.
