Pvp only

I haven't played at all in 2 weeks. Don't think I am coming back till maybe next year hoping for more in the game. But I wanted to thank Daelia /Kor in the sorcerer community for all the work you did in these forums and sithwarrior.com (now mmomechanics.com--- i think). Your post were always helpful and insightful.

On iPhone so please read post # 166 a couple above since I agree with everything except his bashing of arena which I will bash for its gear and comp unbalances rather than players specifically. I am leaving because not enough people to play with. I think they need to fix responsiveness issues. I resigned to wow did my 1st arenas in months. Right now with ability delay, FPS/rendering/lag issues, weird camera control or lack thereof not as satisfying. I refer you to post 166 to respond to you with regard to your statements OP.

Server I/O, threading and blocking will have a higher impact and this is where the substantive suffering with ability delay is happening. If they make optimized servers this could improve gaming experience.

Free to play -------> This is why we pay a sub. See how much better subs are than being nickelled and dimed?

Reroll or wait for xfer to Tomb of Freedon Nad all other EU servers dead. Good luck in your gaming.

I am more active in the forums than in game. I think people are continuing to leave. I have a 6 month month up in August. September will be when everyone knows who is here forever and who is not. My prediction is that subs will stabilize to 400k. Hopefully, their servers can support 40k with about 10k concurrent users (which I frankly don't believe they can at this time based on the botchulism which was Ilum --what really revealed their technical capabilities) otherwise 20k and 5 concurrent.

I already see myself as just a utility player. There is no room In an 8 man group for that luxury. Hoping some changes will happen that won't unbalance PVE. They are indeed happy with sorcerer care bear performance. Hopefully, they have data with regard to pvp performance. Once rateds come out sorcerers will become the lock ness monsters of pvp. There will be sightings but no real proof of their existence.

Maybe. My experience is being the only healer most of the time and that is as a hybrid. And still being chased/focused even in a different spec because well only about 35 ppl play and we target by name now-which in some ways is good community. You also assume only premade team play. These abilities not op by not changing values or resource usage only cast times. .4 seconds still allows for plenty interrupts just changes a flag" please smash me."

This topic has changed to general improvements rather than just about a defensive cd. As far as heals I would take a different track. Resurgance and Purge on a 1 second CD making it spammable and allow the Sorc to cover group and also a focused target. Reduce the cast time for Dark Infusion by .4 seconds. This will balance it by making it more possible while still requiring some skill to get it off.

I was also thinking of cloud mind. I would prefer a target drop rather than invisibility. I don't want the advantage of repositioning against 1 or multiple enemies through that tool. That belongs to other classes.

What sorcerer needs: While under the effects of sprint immunity to snares, grips and cc. An ability to cause enemies to drop target. Our interrupt to be on a super short cd if not spamable Affliction and Crushing Darkness to tick without breaking cc. The above to tick for more damage since we don't have burst our dot has to scale more meaningfully.

I played a game with team balanced pvp. Until last patch this was the most balanced game. At this point burst is king. I want and fully endorse 1v1 class balance. I don't want the class that is bring the preferred class spec. Because that is exactly the flight path if you abandon 1v1 balancing for the sake of "team" balance. Because if you suck 1v1 you suck for the team as well and you are bencher or carried. OP I couldn't disagree with you more. This is the most dangerous pvp post ever submitted.

Selective quotes I see myself wanting to play here but no comparison technically to wow. Maybe in feb 2013 i will resub. I am with you on the charm i love the epic music and the glow of my saber. About the human part I re-rolled despite my preferences because just too powerful. One other I noticed is everyone has a trink in SWTOR that is really a good thing. I also noticed that Blizz in MoP essentially plans on killing resilience and stealing TOR's PVP expertise mechanic. that can be good and bad. BTW you mentioned rogues one of the things that brought me back to wow was the desire to run a ret and rogue w my hunter. If you got that hit me up same avatar name on darkspear us alli.

Just a Deathstar beam of thought that I had to get out before my head exploded.

I re-subbed wow. Just doing honor gear grind. What do I notice? Bigger map Better responsiveness on my commands more control Maybe couple of weird things but they can be attributed to latency ( and when I say this I am talking about a total of 2 button depresses in 4 hours of play) Reasonable queues Idiots still in the game Healers need to be cc'd or focused Peels are more important I still have time left on TOR go for WZ: Log in - oh nice my avatar animation is crisper Animated attacks make sense and graphics cool But Weird ????latency????? I am kiting no I am looking straight up- no top of my head- no, grrrrrrrrr camera real unpredictable mouse control weak (I lower mouse camera speed to no avail) Weird things happen in game (my attacks interrupts stuns not feeling like they are happening$ don't know how to explain-it may not be hacks but it doesn't feel right) Smaller groups A little more goal oriented play Everyone gets zerged down 1 at a time (seems to be play style) I can't really peel ( I can do more than others as a Sorc but seems limited with ability cooldowns as long as they are) Just observations but I think they demonstrate the problems that have to really be solved for pvp to work in a WZ setting- no arena talk. Game not designed for arena and that's fine. Comments,observation?

Does anyone have any info? Is this a patch?

Sadly, I am shelving this game. A read book is probably the best reductio of what this game is. I think people expected different who weren't Bioware consumers before.

One additional comment Bioware totally failed on 2 important fronts: exploration on rails kills immersion and is not exploration. They killed the wonder of the Star Wars universe with square maps that move you from point to point and makes me feel like "I'm on a boat". 2nd their story: what meaningful choices do I really make. It makes no difference except for a darkside appearance modifier and my route along my story follows the same rails whatever choice I make.

I think they thought story was the differentiator. And it is till you hit 50 and the story ends. They entice you to do other stories and in essence RP through the legacy system. I think that how fast leveling was accomplished was underestimated. 5 years of work consumed in 90 days. Their stomachs must be in knots. Where can they go from here? To me it looks like more RP with the legacy system. Where should they go? More sandbox and encounters with unique mechanics. Maybe innovate away from 1,2,3 - ... 5 minutes- bosskill.

OP where tf have you been?!!?!?! This is old news. Ilum sucked mechanically, balance wise and objectively. Quests were ended 1.2 although you could be grandfathered in if you still have it. Welcome back to the game. Can I have some of your greens to smoke ?

Just a heads up. One of the largest threads in wow general forums is about........ Wow server mergers. And guess what people are threatening to leave that game as well. The difference is there is a CM post there acknowledging the problem.

He didn't have to say ........ Recommended by Microsoft so prominently. Which is a lie and makes it all shady

Your recommended by Microsoft line just got you reported monkey funky

decent positive post
