Too little, too late. Sub expired today...

It appears I made the right decision by unsubbing. Four more days and a broken xpac is not enough to make me resub

Most of the epeen keyboard warriors yelling into the chat are more upset that the "team" of puggers can't carry his worthless tail to victory. They (loud mouths) are more upset with themselves and take it out on the people who actually attempt to win even if they haven't mastered the WZ, yet. Those that spend more time yelling have nothing to offer the team anyway since they are spending more time typing than actually contributing. Let the raging begin in: 3 . . . 2. . . 1 . . .

Resolve sucks! I get stunned and watch my resolve bar fill before breaking at which point i'm below 33% health. If I die before it breaks, I have the privilege of watching the resolve decay behind the spawn point. If I break it too soon, I get another stun and die to a double team while waiting for the CC breaker to count down while watching the CCr cap or score. Thanks BW, that was so fun, I unsubbed. Only a week left.

The guy/gal who does 70k or less dmg is probably sitting on a node defending. In that case, you should step back and be a little more understanding. You probably spend more time typing in chat than fighting, huh? So who's to blame more, you for taking time out of face-rolling on your keyboard or the guy/gal who may not have had an attacker while sitting on a node, being a team player while the medal hounds are farming? Introspection, ever?

Ding! Ding! Ding! I've avoided many a stealth scan by looking for it's tell-tell circle.

I haven't looked (yet, but I will now) because I'm not that interested in the stuff in the cartel market, but if it's true and a level 10 character can use the 41 crystals, isn't that by definition pay 2 win? Didn't BW/EA say that the F2P cartel market would never be used for P2W?

They should have spent less using B or C Actor voice overs and spent a little more on the engine. Epic Voice - check Epic Cut Scenes - check Epic Gameplay - notsomuch It's kinda lost its luster even before all of your charcter slots are at capacity and all of them say Level 50.

When logged into my imps on JC, our guild is extremely strong with the pve content. NmP, ECnM, 10 stack DT and TFBHM are all farm status. My pub toons were struggling with ECSM as our servers were merging. PVP is not a primary in our imp guild. The argument that casual PVPr's don't understand team work, have never see our guild in action in an PVE instance. IMHO, PVP on JC is dead, not necessarily because of the players, but because BW/EA hasn't addressed the issue of balance in regards to teams vs. pugs. When I queue on my imps, I do understand team unlike some of the other puggers and it is frustrating. The lack of content after our op timers are counting down lead to boredom. The boredom gives time to pug since most of the pvers chose not to queue. That boredom lead to un-subbing (25 days remaining.) I started the thread to see if BW will/would finally address the issue of balance with regards to pugs vs. premades. Without the opposing factions battling in the WZs, it is boring and not a recipe for success.

Have the imps stopped queuing? Every match I joined last night on my guardian was pub v pub. Talk about boring...

Maybe it is a learn 2 play issue. Just send them to ...

Or just unsub, eventually BW will get the message if not, the game will be done after another server merge. i've 2 days left on my sub, BW won't fix the issues, because they really don't care. If they did, something would have been done a long time ago.

I've come to realize the even if BW created a matchmaking system, everyone would complain because the queue doesn't pop. Why? If you need 2 healers and 2 tanks and 4 dps, you'd have a hard time getting that mix on both sides when everyone is rolling a FotM. To those that argue that pugs need to get into a group, I say you are missing the point because every time you queue solo, there are 7 other players on your team. Sometimes you get a decent group that can actually work together enough to get the job done and sometimes you get the newer and/or bad players. I also saw some say that we should use the tools available. The only tools BW included with the game obviously don't cut it. However, the 3rd party tools that are being used by the not-so casual pvpr do give advantage that isn't provided by the game makers. A next gen game should have included voice com, just like some of the newer mmos released before swtor where development started after BW chose to use the hero engine. Yes, there are third party tools that can be used, but the random grouping makes things more exciting when it takes more of an effort to grow into the team you queue with. It's no different the the "awesome" group finder, but you still have to operate as a team to complete some of them. Just ask those in the pvp forum that have announced their boredom with same-ole same-ole WZs and stomping pugs. Ask them if they would choose to pug to break up the monotony, my guess is that they would say no. A hard earned win is a heck of a lot more gratifying than the 3cap, 6score huttball runs that finish before anyone can blink.

My sub ends within the week. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for the next bigger and better thing, i was just hoping this game would be swg2 (wishful thinking). I'll just play crysis 3 until I find an mmo I can call home like I did with EQ1 for 5 years. I'm done with the pvp and bw is obviously not committed to fixing it. The endgame pve content is boring. Our guild has tfb hm on farm status and several of our members all have their warstalker title. EC nm will be on farm status any day now. Whether its BW or EA, they have ruined this franchise for me and I find it sad.

When my sniper's expertise was at 1261, the word squishy comes to mind. After reaching 1346, there was a huge difference in survability and dps.

The state of PVP has given BW 14 days remaining on my sub. I wouldn't call it PVP anymore, more like PVBW. BW broke it, they either can't or won't fix it, since it doens't fit into their F2P "cash" model...

I'm not sure what you are talking about. On my server last night there were 7 consulars and a slinger on one of the teams we went against. /shrug

If things were truly balanced there wouldn't be a need for FoTM classes. People would play to their own skills in a manner that they choose. My first PVP character was my merc, I don't even queue the merc any longer due to the changes that drastically reduced the effectiveness of the class. How many people would rather play the class they most identify with over a "viable" FoTM class?

It is a bug that can be exploited. It's still a cheat. Defending exploits even when BW hasn't addressed it is defending cheaters.

For snipers it depends on the spec. I haven't spec'd engineering, but in lethality, your strat doesn't work. It's mostly yellow damage and very effective against tanks.

Snipers can kite and kite fairly well in the lethality spec. Setup up a stupid sent with corrosive dart, forcing them into Force Camo, finish setting up your dots when they reappear, leg shot, cull; half their hps are gone. Or just keep an eye on the sents on a rage-bender and when their overuse of force camo/defensives wear off... Boom, they are toast. For those that don't know, you can set up your dots on the run, you do not need to be in cover. Cull is stationary, but if you leg shot before hand and they've wasted their cc breaker after a debilitate... stupid sent.

Every time I queue solo, I queue with 7 others who could potentially be friends. To say solo queuing doesn't require thinking, I beg to differ. Your strategy is constantly in flux depending on group makeup and challengers. Premades typically have their gameplay coordinated and their strategies are typically concrete due to the trinity group makeup. It's funny to watch the premades who fall apart when you've determined their strat and you throw a wrench into the "well-oiled" machine. Being in the typical premade group requires their healers, pealers and dps. Strats rarely change unless going against another premade which makes them predictable. I enjoy pug v pug or premade v premade. Thinking outside the box and mucking up the linear strat of some premades makes the matches exciting. Now if we could get some of the french canadians to understand english when we tell them not to stand on the edge of the HB endzones, some of the pugs might actually have a chance.

/agree 100% /semperfi

What is this Legacy thing you speak of? I've been legacy 50 since I leveled my 5th toon to 50 in October. It was a carrot to keep us sub'd.

And when Star Citizen is released, I'll be playing that game and not SWTOR. I'm excited about it and always hoped Chris would continue in the Space SIM genre after Wing Commander.
