I think we recently had some users banned due to hacks. I could be wrong.

Most important: - People who know how and when to pass in Huttball - People who know how to peel from one node to go defend the other - People who understand the concept of "breaking the zerg" - People who call incs BEFORE objective is being assaulted - Healers that aren't too scared to join the attacking team and leave the defense - Teams that don't quit and camp out at the one node you DO have within the first 2 minutes of the game after failing one half-hearted attempt to take a second. - People who know how to kill enemy healers. - People who know when to stun and not "whitebar" a ball carrier at the final firetrap and the endzone.

I can almost guarantee that those that can't kill healers are the ones who are stunning and building up that resolve bar right away. Get them down to a certain point, make them blow their CDs if needed, THEN stun them. Worst part about pugs.....when you NEED to stun them, someone's already whitebarred them. You're screwed.

It's even funnier that you would assume that I have any WH, when I have none. Zero. Zilch. I'm not trying to maintain any advantage, but trying to remove a severe disadvantage. The solution WILL work, as those that want/have BH would be discouraged from farming Warzones, and move to Ranked Warzones in order to obtain their gear. Strike 2. " i'm full BM with some WH pieces on 6 50's, the majority of WZ's i play are mostly fully dec'd out WH folks"....wait, what? And you accuse me of trying to maintain a gear advantage? Strike 3, you're out. And how does any of this have ANYTHING to do with joining a guild? Strike....4.....I'm thinking you should've just not posted at all.

This would be a great idea....but not on Fatman. We'd have to choose from the tool screaming "I'm having to carry all you bads" (Note: They really aren't carrying anything) and the "dancers" at the one node we have, they gave up 5 minutes into the game. Morale on the pub side of Fatman is not just low, it's dead. Most queue, try once, and give up once they find out they're up against yet another "WH Farming" premade.

Mass stuns, mass knockbacks, charges, pulls, sprints, and shields.....and you worry about stealthing? Ok, then.

Oh, I get it now. Thanks!

The solution is much more simple: Stop giving out ranked warzone commendations except for in ranked warzone. Those that need to farm for WH gear will HAVE to do ranked warzone to get that gear (you get what you put into it) and those unable to do the ranked warzones, can set their goals to BM gear. Will it remove WH gear from regular warzones? No, but they would no longer succeed by steamrolling "recruits". This puts a definitive difference between ranked and unranked.

Why a powertech? Don't Vanguards do the same thing? It's always powertechs. Is it just that there's that many more imperials than republic or just that many more republic on the forums? This has puzzled me for a while now.

Would break Huttball. Not a good idea.

I'm curious as to how you managed to get 5 pieces of BM gear at level 50. I'm obviously missing something here.

But he's right. Because of the ability difference, a team has to compensate for the lack-of and overcome the other team. It's definitely doable. I've had teams of 35 and below beat teams with a few 40+'s on them. It's harder to do, but it can be done. 10-49 isn't so focused on the grind either. You're leveling, getting a bit of gear that's not so far from everyone else's gear. It's a fairly level playing field, with gear playing a small hand in advantage and teamwork playing an even bigger hand. You don't see level 12's getting two-shotted by 40+'s either. It's just not hard to see why 10-49 is so much more preferred.

This was an eye-opening post. I recently hit 50 on my Smuggler (originally not a healer, so, I was gimped). PVP became quickly more and more discouraging and well, just flat-out NOT FUN. Along with this being the Fatman server, where Repubs can't win a game for anything, it was really pushing me towards "Unsub, Delete, Reroll, or Transfer". It was THAT infuriating. I'm not gonna lie, I had my mix of QQ and nerdrage going on. Ultimately, I've decided to quit PVP altogether and focus on PVE, which since my raiding days in WoW, burns me out pretty quick. A big problem (at least on our server, are those pre-made WH groups). You know when you see them, they'll be two shotting just about everyone. Because of this, the grind for better gear is slowed significantly, and most of the time, to a point where the pubs just quit. PVPing, as I most likely will be. There's definitely a problem there. Repubs can't gear up towards a fair fight, and Imps won't let them. Your post indicates a truth. They ARE roaming the WZs, instead of the RWZs. But why? Because they can, and they can do it easily. Why challenge yourself for the reward, when you can get those rewards easily? Shockingly, you can get ranked comms for doing regular WZs (quests, trade-ins). Because of this, there's really no incentive for them to make that move. This so-called "convenience" has ruined PVP for the newly-turned-50. It's a good thing SWTOR is going F2P, because there won't be ANY newcomer that'd be willing to pay for this nonsense. Way to go, Bioware. Another poorly executed idea.

I'm also from Fatman and what I've noticed is that we frequent have several premades decked out in War Hero running around consistently through warzones. We just can't win. Our weekly quest has become a 6-month quest. It's awful.

Surely, OP is exaggerating. This couldn't possibly be an issue... ...oh, wait: http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh588/zombiemeerkat303/927469d6.jpg It's funny, though. At release, Sents/Maras couldn't stay alive for anything. They were the gimp class. Now, it appears to be Scoundrels of the non-healing variety. Really, healers are the only viable Scoundrels in PVP. I tried out scrapper and dirty fighting builds, I pretty much had to ask my target to stand still while I slowly took out a shotgun, aimed it, and shot it (backshot). Very little survivability, very little control. Just not very fun at all. I see these supposedly "mirrored" operatives and it's all just so quick and fluid. Why the difference? Sents and Maras definitely do need a nerf of some sort. It's not needing to be a huge nerf, but a nerf nonetheless.

Sounds like "animation lag". It's not that you're lagging, it's that your animations take WAY too long.

You'll find them on Corsuscant - Commerical Market Area (Republic) and Dromund Kaas - Kaas City (Imperial). They'll be near your trainers, hard to NOT see if you're actually using your map.

Which is why it's team-based PVP. If you're trying to 1v1 a level 50 as a level 10, then you deserve to get rolled. I have nothing over level 30 (one is close) and I have a blast PVPing with and against the higher levels. Maybe because I'm not standing around QQing in the chat and actually trying to do something about it. You know, for my team.

I too, <3 PVP as it is. I love being able to PVP with level 50s AND lower levels, adds a lot of excitement to the experience rather than "Oh look, everyone here is my level and I have little to worry about".

Translation: QQ Saves time.

Look at the objective scores, that explains a lot. Your team saw four 50s and QQed the entire game, while a handful tried. That's what went wrong.

Nothx to WoW's trainwreck of a PVP system.

Better off in a WZ than the open world....you don't get bolster out there. If you can't handle PVP, stay away.

Neapolitan should be fixed! You can't have all those flavors in there at the same time! It needs bracketed! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh, weird. Does it go away after a while?
