The Short:
Level 50 Gunslinger AKA Turret. Extremely displeased with the class and PvP of this game.
The Long AKA The Rant:
1. Cover System
This is what leads to me being a turret. If I want to be worthwhile to my team, I have to enter cover and can't move. Any class can knock me out of cover by a simple stun, or by any knockback. That leads to me having to enter cover again, which takes a global cooldown thus delaying my ability to do anything. Fortunately for Turret's this game is full of knockbacks to keep us from even using any attacks that aren't basic.
2. Ilum
What a complete and total joke. I've had the honor of watching countless Sith become Battlemasters due to terrible decisions from Bio-ware. I've been in Ilum that was as lopsided as 86 vs 14, and I'm sure many Republic players have seen it worse than that. The side with dominant numbers was rewarded with epic valor just by being in the majority. No amount of skill can get you out of a 8:1 battle. There is plenty more to say on Ilum, but I believe there are plenty of other posts on here about that overall total suck that is Ilum.
3. Wazones...11 vs 8 or 8 vs 4
Seems they all start like this now. There are lots of bugs, but the one that allows teams to be stacked in PvP like this are completely inexcusable. Now, it isn't possible to even play a BG without getting the "120 seconds till over" message due to this. Essentially this takes the fun out of PvP. I haven't come on here to complain about the vastly superior gear the Imperials have received due to the Ilum bug before, but this just compounds the problem. Bottom line, it's very hard to get an 8 vs 8 match so you can actually play a warzone.
4. PvP Ticket (or any Ticket) Response
I've filled out a few tickets over the last two months and none of them have been resolved. Your customer service teams seems to think that not addressing the question or issue and simply saying "CLOSED" is sufficient. This isn't the government working, you're a company so you have some level of accountability for not giving a crap about customer service. Even the DMV is nice enough to renew my license after I sit and wait for 4 hours.
5. LOLSTUNS
Seems like the majority of classes get long stuns that are instant and not broken by damage. Unfortunately if you rolled a Turretslinger, then you have a kick in the nuts move that leads to a 4 sec stun....but then you have to move away from who you stunned. That's great but running for 2 sec, then hitting cover (takes 1 sec) will leave me 1 sec before they are out of the stun. Not even remotely close to the stuns of other classes.
Anyway, I'm sure most folks have stopped reading this by now, so I'll wrap it up. I've cancelled my credit card and my play time is going to be up in 3 days. I highly doubt I'll be missing this game whatsoever, but wish the best of luck to those that are sticking it out. Feel free to offer feedback of any MMO's with decent PvP...I'll be looking to check a new game out very soon.
One of the few remaining Turretslingers has left the building.
