Ok fine let me fix this for you...The hero engine can't hand the cross server technology required to support 20v20 or 40v40 because it's what would be needed for it to happen since some servers already have hour long ques apparently. Be happy you're getting 12v12 space battles k? Not to say I don't want it. I would love nothing more then a 40v40 warzone battle in face i've been wishing for one since beta.

The engine can't handle it.

In-game name: B'dg Mods: Advanced Mettle Mod 30A Advanced Potent Mod 30 Armoring: Advanced Might Armoring 30 Advanced Reflex Armoring 30 Advanced Skill Armoring 30

I teared up a little bit.

Top ranked? When did Bioware add rankings?

I wouldn't be against this if and only if they did it intelligently so it doesn't upset the shaky faction balances.

In a future patch there should be an option to make it so only your debuffs show up on a target or an option to allow yours to be somewhat larger then everyone elses. Would help alot with pvp/e if your a healer or dps you wouldn't wanna clip your hot or dot, it ends up being an overall dps or hps loss.

Your aware theirs an option in the keybind section that allows you to keybind TAB to "Target Closest Enemy" right?

You never played rift then. The between Rank 6 and Rank 8 gear is huge compared to what your comparing is a fresh 50 and a geared 50...first really...thats what your gonna compare...second the character is most likley in most if not all champion pvp gear and maybe a few battlemaster pieces. Theirs supposed to be a gap between fresh 50 gear and close to BiS gear, welcome to mmos.

You sir made me giggle.

Doesn't take any skill what so ever to get battlemaster. Just takes alot of time and grinding of valor. Until they implement a ranking system and gear that requires ranks from the rated warzones they mentioned don't think for a minute you or anyone else that had the time to spare to grind out valor rank 60 before or after this exploit means your a skilled pvper.

Check back in on Tuesday when it's 50s only i guess?

And how would the republic or empire get the 1 million credits if the opposing faction won?

umad?

He's about to start Hardmode 8man bonethrasher attempts.

I kinda think its more about them griefing a well known griefing guild. To each his own I suppose.

Lawl what

Was watching this guy last night, he knows what he's doing in pvp.

Heat free openers can be a deciding factor of if you win a duel in pvp. You can't use guard if your not in ion gas cylinder so no point for it to be on your bars if all you do is dps in one of the other two cylinders. I never said kolto overload was fine, all I said was that it's not worth putting with arguably one of the best defensive cooldowns in the game that you don't have to spec into when all I need is a small hot. As far as my keybinds go are you really gonna tell me how many keybinds I HAVE? In my dps spec the only thing not on my bars is shoulderslam, and combustible gas cylinder. So With all my buttons I still have 6 free spots in dps, and 4 in tanking, and thats with 4 grenades, medpacks, adrenals and the pass button for huttball.

Obviously some of you are missing the point, its not about being social while LOOKING for people. It's about being social and getting to know the other players on your server. WoW's dungeon finder was released in December 09. IMO that's what put the nail in the coffin for the wow community. Everyone became a faceless avatar. Idk about you guys but if I pug a hardmode flashpoint I would like to know if the person i'm picking up comes from a respectable guild and I wont run the risk of having an item possibly ninjaed because someone from another server figures they will never see my group again. As for having to go back to the fleet every time you wanna do a flashpoint...come on did you start playing after wow released the LFD tool?

To many buttons? I'm 50 and I have between 6-8 free spots depending on if i'm in a pvp spec, pve tank spec, or pve dps spec. The trick is to go down the list and see what ones you don't use at all. You can free up one spot all together by not having all three gas cylinders on your bars. Unless your speced into bursting flame in the pyro tree or your speced into pyro as your main spec theirs no reason to have combustible gas cylinder on your bar, if you are pyro then theirs no reason to use high energy. Unless your always using ion gas theirs no reason to have guard. As far as the companion bar goes, you won't need one for pvp unless your in a group smaller then 4 doing world pvp and thats only if your companion is the one being used. you won't need one for raids or level 50 flash points either. Plus that bar can easily be accessed by using the keybind that opens and closes it. For the button combinations, no. Thermal sensor and vent heat should not be used as one button sorry. Vent heat is to vent heat. Thermal sensor can be used for heat free burst or heat free openers. If i'm pyro spec my insiderary missile costs 25 Heat. To help with pvp burst and easing into a pve rotation on bosses I like having the option of it cost 0 heat with out having to waste my 1.5-2 minute cd. Energy shield and kolto overload are fine. Why would I wanna waste a 2 minute 25% damage reduction if all I need is a hot to keep me alive long enough to get toped off by a healer or till i can use my recharge and reload? Oil slick is fine, it's called a defensive cooldown. My suggestion is get your self a multi button mouse, if you don't wanna buy one then the second alternative is to practice using keybinds. that use the alt, shift, and ctrl key.

The only pure DPS classes in swtor are Snipers and Marauders so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. BW has already said numerous times that the dps difference should only be a small % so if you wanna dps as a powertech you can spec into one of the 2 dps tree and dps. If you wanna be a tank you can spec into the tank tree and tank.

Anyone know if AP is even worth trying for pve? I was thinking something along the lines of this http://www.malumfactum.com/SWTORCALC/skillcalculator.php#AgMIHwKz09oRM0JJUVlqc4***ZqhqrrK29IA

Well you have to add the 6% from hot iron. So the direct damage would be 630.7-748.36 and 831.04 over 15 seconds, adds up to 1461.74-1579.4(http://www.torhead.com/ability/3fbIXUA/rectractable-blade) when you add the direct and dot.. I'm not the greatest at math soooo feel free to fix it. Thermal Detonator(http://www.torhead.com/ability/fc2Kvfv/thermal-detonator) is 1566 - 1678. (I am going by torheads tool tips). It's all theory though so until combat logs are available we wont REALLY know for sure. As for unload. I would personally only use it in the case of i'm forced into range. BUT the op may have gotten his wording wrong possibly, i would need him to confirm this. What he could mean is that use unload after the dot is applied since the talent rain of fire increases its damage by 9%.

You can not guarantee that retractable blade will be up 100% on raid bosses because unless it is nothing but a tank n spank fight were the boss has no adds or any or any mechanic that requires to move out of x amount of time, and you can not prove that you will have 30% more damage without doing hard math or without using combat logs. One of which doesn't exist atm, remember this is all just theory. Theirs no way you can prove that would have more dps then a pyrotech running http://www.malumfactum.com/SWTORCALC/skillcalculator.php#AgMEBh-S2qHK2xEqM1NaanOCipGrusvS or one that takes the point out of prototype cylinders and puts into 3/3 intimidation.
