so you think because you have a high valopr rank that you're a "good pvp'er" lols you came from WoW right

imo they're just not fun to play due to their class mechanics basically to do your damaging attacks you have to get in cover, and when you get in cover you can't move (so it's not very fluid to play), and everyone just los' you. they are also extremely squishy and have zero utility, they're just inferior to a jugg in every way their energy mechanic is also the worst in the game, if you spam a few moves for a bit of burst dps you end up with no energy and it takes forever to come back when it runs out.

if it's a sniper vs jugg, role a jugg for that matter sniper vs anything else roll anything else.

winning pvp in Tor is about (in order from highest to least importance): 1. group 2. gear 3. class 4. skill

what's a huttbal, and what's a commentantor?

non healers: "nerf healing!" healers: "nerf dps!" fail community is fail

already dead

well pvp gear is the best gear in the game for pvp, but it doesn't look that good, especially the republic side. to get it: 1. level up to 50, preferably by doing wz's to get your valor rank up too 2. get daily/weekly pvp quests from npc in fleet 3. do warzones to earn commendations, valor and to complete pvp quests 4. turn in pvp quests for rewards when complete 5. spend commendations/tokens to buy pvp gear/bags from npc vendors in fleet: centurion = crap champion = good battlemaster = best repeat

because cooldowns on interrupts don't exist right? nice job on the tracer nerf bw, keep it up.

true, the aggressive, over-defensive and in denial type fanboy that tor is littered with.

use east/west only - always remember that people who are too stupid to work out their orientation will be more of a hindrance than a help in pvp anyway.

He is a job hopper, he will be hired by some poor mmo company to destroy the pvp in another mmo.

you really have no idea what you are talking about, melee classes (marauders, tank spec assassins in dps gear, operatives, rage juggs) wreck ranged classes in the game, with the only exception of pt pyro. if you're getting owned by other ranged classes you're doing something wrong

sure, as a generation brought up on console games with instant gratification, when those console players play pc games they bring with them a certain expectation of the same level of instant gratification. for many console kiddies their first mmo was WoW (due to it's huge marketing campaign), which delivered what they were looking for, and hence it's massive success, and WoW kiddies were born. just about every mmo since WoW has in one way or another copied it's "instant gratification" type of mechanic, as greedy publishers saw big dollar signs if they could steal away some WoW kiddies for their own. /shakes fist in air

as others have said sent/marauder is probably the hardest to play, playing a sniper/gunslinger is also difficult mainly because the class mechanics (having to get into cover to use your best damaging abilities, and then being stuck immobile while everyone los' you, as well as the worst energy pool in the game) suck so terribly.

you're right about the carebears, the nerf criers, the "i want it now" generation of console kiddies........are what we witnessing now what all future mmo's are going to be like?

then change spec to the pyro equivalent and be the best pvp class in the game, nobody is forcing u to stay tank spec. it's pretty common knowledge that tanks don't work in pvp because armor/mitigation doesn't work properly with so many yellow damage abilities and crits ignoring it.

ah ok, i couldn't comment on post-nge as i rage quit when they deleted my master rifleman/bh

imo recent mmo's have all improved graphics, at the expense of gameplay. it's a worrying trend, games released 10 years ago had better gameplay than recent mmo's even pre-nerf swg, a game released almost 10 years ago, had a sandbox type system, player cities, player economy, multiple stats to balance, legendary items, gm events, player pvp bases and actual open world pvp! (plus much more) swtor is just a pretty single player rpg with 3 multi-player instances, that got massive sales only because of it's IP, from a game-play standpoint bw really should be ashamed of themselves because tor just doesn't cut the mustard. here's hoping gw2 pulls one (an actual mmo with great gameplay and meaningful pvp) out of the bag, like the good old mmo's. Looking at the vids it seems a lot like daoc, one of the best pvp mmo's i've ever played, so there is hope

yes, most of us have already /unsubbed from Tor and are waiting for gw2.

there are easier classes to play (bh's/troopers) and more difficult classes to play (marauders/sentinels), but tank specced assassin's are good all-rounders in pvp

i've only got 3 abilities in my rotation...... tracer missile rail shot unload L2optimize noobs, there aren't too many abilities in the game there aren't enough decent ones.

probably the same genius who designed ilum

they're not bugged, the problem is that the player population is just dying so fast there's not enough players to re-populate a wz when players choose not to enter the wz when it pops, especially on the rep side. oh well at least gw2 will be in beta soon so we can get some pvp action

^^ this x 1 million i call it the "WoW kiddie phenomenon"
