You should have just let it ride to not lose all that deposit. That is your fault. Figure out what you need to put up after the auctions all end. Problem solved. I don't feel bad for you cancelling your auctions because you cannot tell what sold...

Again guard is fine the way it is. Dps with burst damage can easily crit for 3k..still getting whacked with 1500 damage with guard on is still alot...guard is here to help mitigate agaisnt the high dps....look at snipers and gunslingers they can crit you for 4k as well. 2k to each person is still alot and if the guarded targets is focused they can be killed. At that point odds are there is a tank close by that is damaged pretty good. Like I said on the post before this page look at how many people are really using it in a warzone the numbers are not that huge. Guard works as intended imo and yes burst damage should be mitigated because it hurts. Even 50% with the above examples still can hurt someone who is guarded. Guard does not make it impossible to kill someone. Harder yes, impossible no. Want to learn how to kill a guarded target? Communicate with your premade or your pug and tell them who to attack.Use knockback and cc and pulls to get the target more than 15m from the tank to disable it. Heck I see people put a guard on a target and they don't even follow them and it prevents others from guarding that target. Guard is only as good as the player who uses it and stays by their guarded teammate. You would be surprised how many people I try to guard but can't because someone else put one on the person and they are across the map. Guard is a true tank skill that imo is working as intended and you do need to be smart about how you use it for pvp.

Guard is fine the way it is. Tanks taking half the damage from multiple people on your guarded target can hurt. Especially if people are focusing on the tank as well. For some reason people attack me more and I am a tank. They don't even bother half the time to attack the healer I have on guard either. Also with it being 15m that is short and people are easily out of range of it or get knocked out. People still can be killed with guard on I think it is fine. Guard is not the issue in pvp. Do you ever look at the match after a wz ends? Barely anyone uses it as it is simply because of lacking heals. A lot of matches you see people only guarding for 10k worth or less sometimes you see a huge number but it is nothing that is game breaking. More so than not people put it on someone and then they do not even stick with them. Obviously from a numbers aspect guard is fine and should not be nerfed. Look again at your warzones on people guarding the numbers are never very flattering so how you are calling for a nerf is beyond me. My targets have been killed while guarded with focus like it was nothing. Trust me it is not guard making pvp unbalanced lmfao.

Tyvm guess I should spend my commendations then..much appriciated and nice guide....wtb sticky

What are you getti g for 375 fleet credits that you sell on the auctionhall?

No arenas please. Stop trying to make this into WoW. If you want arenas go make a panda.

Yea this is exactly what we need.... Let's make the servers even more unbalanced by all rerolling to the already over populated side... Sounds to me like the OP and his friends got rolled too many times by the Empire and has the "if you can't beat em join em" mentality..

Republic here. I got sick of playing Huttball in beta nonstop as Empire so at launch my friends and I went Republic. Def do not regret that.

Exactly the reason why they need to be in place.

Bioware seriously? You needed these brackets in like yesterday. Warzones are unbearable when you get rolled by all 50's. This should at least go in. Bad time to delay 1.1 I am sure now you are going to lose a lot of players because you "cannot deliever" I would imagine the brackets are not even the issue and you should at least put those in. Oh well /rant off just had to blow off steam.

No, I am looking for being able to use healing consumables during open world PVP OUTSIDE of Ilum. It should be a trigger window or something to let you hit them. Really I don't see the big deal of letting us use them whenever. It is a 5 min cd that is a long time in pvp standards. Really they should just let us have access to them at all times.

The healing consumables you get for warzones should be usuable in open world pvp as well imo. 5 min CD is fair enough and when you are attacked or attack someone there should be a window to use these if needed. They even state (usable in pvp) It does not say just in warzones. Perhaps Bioware you should fix this and let us use it in open world pvp. Some might think this is OP but a 5min cd is fine. This is one aspect of pvp I feel should get addressed at some point. It is nice to have a pvp pot if you are attacked from behind or something.

So curious what is being done about this....it is clear on my server people exploited it when u see people selling items for a million credits....as well as lots of people running around with that 1.5m credit speeder....heck there was a guy on my server who had one before dec 20....go figure.. I am on the prophecy of the five server. The economy is messed up do to this...anyone with 5 or 10m credits or more should be punished cuz they clearly exploited....any legit players do not have this kind of money....take the money away and ban or just leave these offenders with 5000 ccredits. Did this post from my phone so I hope it looks ok.

lol bumped this in hopes someone knows where this galactic trade kiosk is on nar shadda. Anyone know?

where on Nar Shadda is it please?

Yea this right here is what they were doing. It is not from people quitting. Regardless though there will be people who quit and that is typical. The real test of this game though is the 90 day mark. I for one will be sticking around. I am having a blast and they are putting in more fixes to pvp so I am quite happy.

As far as I know this is some sort of a glitch and not intentional. I have seen this happen I have been on a side in voidstar we had 8 people vs 16 people we got rolled. I have also been on the team with more people. I think this has happend 4 or 5 times for me. I pretty much have leveled up from 10 to 37 doing warzones so I am frequently in them. It has to be a bug on biowares end because this would be exploited like crazy if it weren't I'd imagine.

I just wanted to post this for those who haven't seen it yet because there has been a lot of complaints regarding level 50's ruining warzones with lowbies. Also open world pvp is going to get drops and it seems a new warzone. I will copy paste for you all. Please discuss!http://www.swtor.com/blog/new-year%E2%80%99s-pvp-update Fellow PvPers, thank you for taking on the challenge of player vs player combat in The Old Republic! In the first week after launch there were over a million Warzone matches played, with nearly half of all players participating in Warzones. Bad news for Republic players, though - the Empire currently leads overall, having won 53% of all Alderaan Civil War and Voidstar matches (across all servers). Huttball has been played the most, accounting for 39% of all matches – and yes, we’ll be adding a new same faction vs. same faction enabled Warzone in the future. We are all really excited at the tremendous volume of participation we’ve seen in PvP thus far. Your interest and demand dictates what we’ll be delivering in the near future. I wanted to give you some insight into where we are with PvP development and where we are going. First and foremost here is what we are addressing as a top priority: Level 50 Bracket Warzones: Level 50 players will have a bracket of their own, playing in separate Warzone matches to lower level players. This is something we have wanted to do for some time and now that there is an increasing number of level 50 players we will be implementing the feature in January. Open World PvP on Ilum: The planet of Ilum currently allows for open world PvP even on a PvE server, but the mechanics and incentives of the planet are not in as intended yet. We’re working on longer term goals for the planet and for other PvP areas, but expect to see some interim adjustments in January - such as more respawn points to focus conflicts, restricting Companion Characters from the area, and revisions to rewards. Ilum will also become a major source of Valor. Valor buffs will increase and decrease based on the objectives your faction owns. These buffs increase the amount of Valor you receive per player kill. However they do not give anything in and of themselves, so players will still need to defeat other players for significant Valor rewards. Additionally, daily and weekly missions will require player kills to complete. Player kills for quests and Valor credit will have diminishing returns per player killed. So, the more players that are fighting other players, the better it is for everyone. Combat Gameplay: You’ll see several optimizations come online in January, and we are going to continue to tune this as time goes on. We also have other exciting features coming in the near future including Ranked Warzone Matches, PvP Stat Tracking, Open World PvP Loot Drops, more Warzone medals for different objectives, Guard Optimizations and Target Optimizations. Additionally we’re looking at ways to enable team vs. team, more level brackets and the ability to choose which Warzone you want to play in. This is not a complete list of everything we’re working on that’s PvP related, but we have to keep some surprises for later! Thanks again for all your feedback and please keep it coming. We read as much as we can then cross reference with metrics to take action on features and tuning the game to ensure an enjoyable and competitive PvP community.

The chat bug was fixed yesterday with a patch. No one cares that you are leaving OP just go and good riddance.

No you cannot. At least not right now. Maybe at some point they will open up character transfers but not right now unfortunetly.

If you are that sick of doing huttball maybe you should have rolled Republic in the first place.

I have seen this myself.My group there are 4 of us and are mid 30's have rolled 50's who are in premades. Yes it can happen. 50 does not equate to skill. I have also been in voidstar where the highest player on our side was 38 and the other team had a premade of 50's and we still stopped them at the second door and we got through to the datacore. Not all the 50's are good that is a fact.

You know I understand about the 50's ruining pvp I get it. I have seen it but oh well I will continue to level with my friends and kill people. Being 50 doesn't mean you are good though. The 50's in the warzones when you think about it is a temporary issue. Eventually everyone is going to hit 50 with the exception of a few slower people here and there. It should get better. However I do understand the frustration and I also think they should have thier own tier simply because of the gear they can have. a 10-49 tier would be ideal then a straight 50 one. Although at the same time I am currently level 37 and my brother who is in a 4 year college doing it in 2 years has an 18 due to xmas break. I like the fact that even if I hit 50 he can pop on and I can still play in a warzone with him. It really has its good sides and bad sides to it. I am not going to quit over this. Also asking for a new warzone roughly 2 weeks after launch is a bit much imo. They will put one in when they put one in end of story. They are also suppose to be doing a content update they said around 30 days after launch so we will see what we will be getting. I think overall people need to give this game a shot and quite crying about the warzones and open world pvp. I am sure Bioware has gotten the message and are working on a fix that won't be over night. For everyone who is quitting well all I have to say is enjoy your pandas.

MMO's take a while to learn and get use to. Once you understand what you are doing it will get easier. I wouldn't throw in the towel yet. Everyone starts out like this when they are new. You should give it another shot and stick it out. You have barely even seen anything this game has to offer 2 days in.

I too would like to know this.
