PvP in SWTOR is basically crap. It is from the start and will be same after 1.2. Valor/bag grind will be replaced by rated grind - in the same PUG as before. Therefore for me it is easy: /canceled You have 7 days of play time remaining. When your play time runs out, you will no longer be able to play. Please sign up for a recurring subscription plan or redeem a Game Time Code. GL to all who enjoy SWTOR - unfortunately I am not.

As a rep player I am able to recognize signature move of BH mercenary aka "my diarrhea is getting worst" very well ty

I personally think that current system is very frustrating and borderline idiotic. RNG for pretty much only thing available for improving your character is just plain bad and can cause only rage in player population. As for me I got lucky - till now I got 15 commendations out of 44 bags - ie 34% drop rate. But I also had streak of 10 bags with nothing at the start.... and my friend got 6 commendations out of similar number of bags - how is this fair? Good to know this will be changed in 1.2 - but honestly - yesterday was too late.

FYI correctly played Infiltration is having less energy problems then Kinetic build.

yeah... well I suppose in greater picture there are really hundreds of more important fixes then this (not sure if that easy though - how complicated it can be to change price of item at vendor?)

well either this or that - otherwise it just shows a poor design... (and tbh weapon is at least for me MUCH more important then offhand)

well hope it will get fixed "soon"

BM offhand costs 3 commendations - same as main hand weapon. On the other side champion offhand cost is 41 commendations while price of weapon is 123. Centurion equip is 24 and 72 commendations respectively. Is it only me or does the offhand price in BM tier seems to be fluke? If the same pattern is followed cost should be 1 BM commendation (cost of other items with BM price 1 commendation /wrists&waist slot/) seems to follow this.

I am now struggling with *beeep* BM commendation farm and I am looking for best combination of the gear . I really really do not want to make mistakes here, because I am on unlucky side of the RNG .... Therefore I am looking for some advice how to combine my Stalker/Survivor parts to get best bang for (very limited) bucks. As for now I have following plan: Stalker weapon Survivor shield (these 2 seems like no-brainer for me) Stalker implants & ear (mistake easily fixable here so no stretch) As for the set parts - this is where I do not want to make mistake - My plan is as following: 2 Stalker pieces: Head & Hands to be specific - these have power as stat which seems to me to be more important then crit on other pieces 3 Survivor pieces: Robe/Legs/Boots - as a lucky coincidence these all have Defense rating on them which I like more then shield+absorption combination. What do you think? Any ideas for changes?

I suppose when you pick Survival set parts you are preferring these with Defense to Shield/Absorption? How reliable would be to reslot armor for Defense - is it possible to create real PvP tank like that?

there is no competitive PvP in the game if this will not change ASAP there will be no PvP at all: - WZ queue on my server (republic side where imps have 4x numbers) are longer and longer - each WZ several people leaves after first sign of lost game - out of 5 WZ 3 times I am entering in the middle of the lost battle where people are mass quitting - AFK people in every 2nd wz - Ilum = base camping - my guild has 150 people - have not seen more then 10 online for a week+ Either the change will come or people will go - easy as that Back to the original topic - in current terrible environment burst rulez.

As I see it: fact - shied does not work on critical hits Lets say attacker with 33% chance to crit and defender with 50% chance to shield. 33% of the hits are crits which lefts 66% of total number of attacks to be shielded with 50% chance - ie only 33% of all attacks will be shielded. Because of nature of critical hits (they do more dmg then normal attacks by 1.8-1.9 surge multiplier you are shielding around 20% of incoming dmg by shield absorbtion (lets say 50% ? not sure here what is soft cap) = 10% of incoming damage of type shield actually works on. In my opinion it is bad trade considering increased dmg on all your attacks.

No need - if someone from your ops kills enemy with particle cannon you will get kills/valor even while sitting in base watching your favorite TV series. (No joking really )

We all know what is important - getting Battlemaster (BM) title and BM equip. So how to do it fast and easy on underdog (Republic side)? Here is a tested way how to become BM with absolutely NO skill and minimal effort: - after the daily/weekly reset get the PvP quests and head directly to the ilum - it is important to get into Ilum instance 1 where 100+ imps camps rep base - get into big ops which is sitting in the base (avoid roaming groups) - sit in back row and click your class group buff every now and then > it is important to know you will get full valor/kill score of each person tagged by your buff - never move from back row, do not risk being killed and miss some kills (if you die all "kill tags" you got are reset). - having 2 monitors is golden - you can watch video and just click on group buff from time to time - pro-tip - if there is a active person outside of your ops buff him - you will get credit for his kills too! > on good days you can get 150k Valor daily (best is Tuesday when everyone wants to get their weekly done) It is easily possible to do Valor 50-60 in 3 days while watching all seasons of TBBT - tested. OK - so now you are for your amazing effort BW certified MB !!! But you still need to get your shiny new light-saber so no one can miss the fact you are BM right? Well you can get BM bags from 2 sources - Ilum dailies (rinse and repeat all above said every day) and from WZ dailies. Getting 3 wins per day sounds easy, but thanks to the ultimate BW end game experience program half of the wins does not count against daily/weekly quests. Fortunatelly there is a workaround for this. You have to know one important thing: If you win war-zone before time limit of any sort - your win does not count against quest. Therefore - Huttball - leave now - if you win by 6 goals no win for you, if you loose you loose, only way to get daily win is to go through whole timer with less then 6 goals - bad chance for this. - if you get into Civil War - great, no timer here so if your side wins you have 1 daily win - Voidstar - 2 possibilities: - starting es defender - leave now - if you defend perfectly and win in second round by accessing computer - timer was running - so no daily. Only chance to get daily win is via halfassed games. - starting as attacker - perfect - if you win 1st round then second round will and by timer and you get daily win. And that's all folks.... If you read till now - maybe you are asking *** I do pay for this? -
