  1. Ok so I know that when you are "undergeared" for PVP there is a bolstering system in place. However is there a reverse bolster? In my case it is alacrity. Outside of Pvp I have 15.87 as a Op healer, however, inside a PvP match this goes down to 10.9? Why? I am 306 fully augmented but I get punished for this in the form of alacrity? I do not gain any other stat as they are all the same inside and out. I was like "well if I take out an alacrity enhancement my stats will stay the same" wrong it went down to 9.3%.
  2. Yeah I tried to start as soon as I hit 53 and this was the case. Oddly enough it let me do the other 2 on solo. When I hit 55 it let me start solo as the above posted.
  3. Just as the title suggest. Started Prelude to Revan on new toon and the mission from the CS gives Veteran. I abandoned the mission and visited the droid and the options are Veteran, Master, and Refuse. The rest of them have a solo option. Is this new or a known bug?
  4. And demand the following: 1. 1 West Coast Server 2. If this is not possible, an clear and honest answer, why not? - Do livestream it, and mainly Keith should do this. - Also tell what options are on the table and how much you think you can reduce the ping for these people. 1) Demand all you want because this is not going to happen. Its like asking a company on the edge of bankrupting for a raise. They are one more bad game away from closing the door as a whole. They are running SWTOR on the east coast because demographically it is cheaper (smart move). The servers or rather the facilities that were used to run the game are either prepped or are being prepped for another game. 2) Why would you demand that Keith do this he is not even involved with any decision making but rather him and the other forum devs catch the blunt end of being verbally assaulted. At one time one of them was even receiving threatening phone calls at his personal house from players. They have said man times in their stream that they do not have answers because the company completely lacks transparency even with their employees. 3) Whiny Children- - why can't we have same sex romances - it's not fair 1 class can beat another in pvp - I'm mad this part of the story didn't end this way - threads like this one - ect aka 90% of the general forums Like kids not getting their way. They made improvements to the game 10% whined and they listened, then 20%, 30%, and so on. And people wonder why they don't communicate more with the player base?
  5. The fact that it didn't make the projected profits opening weekend does not mean it is a "critical box office failure". Just in the US it made $101 million but unlike the other movies this has a lot to do with bad timing. Memorial Day weekend for starters, the competition it was up against at theaters that same weekend, the time from one Star Wars release to the next was extremely short, ect ect.
  6. Simply put they will not do this. When they release a weapon (more so blaster, cannons, sniper) they come with a sound "set" for that specific piece. You are talking about making probably 10k or more sounds if you count the greens and the old PVP/Operation drops.
  7. I noticed this a couple of times in the forums but bolster only goes so far when you have more working against you. Set Bonus, augments, and the fact that bolster does not bolster every stat. I heal in PVP and even with the bolster the undergeared drop like flies.
  8. Honestly when I get on a team and 1 person is under geared it is no big deal. However, it is becoming more common to come into a match with 2-3 people that have 0 set bonus, 0 augs, and no stim. I don't blame other players for quitting these teams. It take 1 hour to run CZ and Black Hole heroics even if your slow and this is 10-12 packs which should at least give you a few pieces of 230 gear.
  9. To be honest calling veteran players dumb because they are trying to explain why you are wrong does not make you look all that smart either. I'm a good PVP'er but there are players, regardless of what spec or class that I am, can 1v1 me. I main a PT which is the probably at the bottom of the totem in PVP but I make up for it with my knowledge of the class. I've also played all the other class and this has helped me learn how to counter them in PVP. To be honest you really have to research other class to be really good in PVP, read their guides on Dulfy and the class forums on here. You also have to be a team player and not that guy who chases a sorc that is DoTing you to death to get you 1v1. For example PT's (in my opinion) are the best non stealth node guards because even while CC'd we can interrupt with Shoulder Cannon. I hate guarding but I do it to win the match and I call instead of trying to get a solo kill. Just a side note constantly belittling other players is a good way to get reported and suspended from the forums. If you disagree that's fine but be respectful in your response.
  10. Saying that Sorcs put out massive dps sounds like the OP does not know the difference in how fluff damage and burst damage affect PVP. Sorcs can put out high numbers, especially in dot spec, but if you consider doing 1M dmg (for example) as DOT to multiple targets and a Fury Mara bursting 1M single target its a totally different outcome.
  11. Don't know if it is just me but can something not be done about Snipers and the amount of slows, stuns, roots, CC immunity, defense, increased run speed with utility,and the 50 yard roll in Reg Huttball (thats before factoring in imperial preparation)? Devs want to talk about nerfing all all tank classes because they "put out too much damage in pvp"? How about the the defense of a sniper? Today while playing huttball I played against two snipers that posted up on the second and third tier and just chain passed the ball the whole match. I know as a Assassin tank my dps output isn't amazing but come on. First you can't gap close which Im fine with but the reduction in movement speed is just retarded. Then the following happens: 1) run at stupid slow speed to close the gap 2) series of shots knocks you back 3) again super slow speed to get back 4) cover pulse knocks you back 5) again stupid slow speed to get back 6) hard stun 7) entrench + dodge/shield probe, heal by ballistic shield 8) repeat This whole time perched on top tier and with 1 roll (that you cant do anything about) all the way to the end zone. Like I said I am a tank and it did take the snipers forever to kill me, However some of the utilities need to be adjusted especially the ones that have a minor or no impact to PVE.
  12. As with the above three post stated you are kicking people to "Farm" conquest. No matter if its "oh we wanted a guildie because we know them" or "they needed points" you are still: 1) kicking a player that has been sitting in a RANDOM que (key random and not a friendlist or guild que) 2) giving people that qued a lockout timer. Kicking a player for a 5 min boss fight because "you want to get someone you know" on a bolstered fight sounds like BS to me.
  13. Just as the title says, which should I change? This is for PVP
  14. This has been going on for some time now and while if a guild chooses to do an full runs over and over again there is no problem. However I do have a problem when I have been kicked from 3 group in one day farming conquest from the last boss of KP which is a 30 min raid. Getting automatically kicked as soon as you enter the operation leaves the solo que person with a 15 min group finder lockout from all group activities. How is this fair for the solo quer? I am sure this isnt just a problem on one server. The guild that kick twice is currently setting at 3.1M CP with the next closes being 700k so whats the point? Honestly I think that the GF punishment should go the other way if there hasnt even been a boss pull or no CP should be given if the person on that toon has not kill every boss in the raid.
  15. Why can Cybertech make Infused Plasteel Cyber Assembly Component? I don't see anything on the trainer that they can be used for or any schematic that has dropped that they are used to craft.
  16. Yesterday and today I go to CZ-198 to do the weekly and I am unable to travel to Stronghold or Guild Flagship. Additionally yesterday when I was there guild member tried to invite me to an Ops group and it bugged out with the following dialog. Member has invited "blah blah" I accepted invite Then it said "You have invited "member" to your ops group" Even though I accepted I was not in the ops group and after traveling to fleet the same thing happened. Had to log out and log back in while on fleet to accept. Do not know if there has been a forum post about this but wanted to relay the information if anyone else has a problem.
  17. First I run off of DSL 5/Mbs so I am not on the fastest internet which I know will impact my download time but the last 3-5% usually crawls by painfully slow. My question is what happens in this last 5% that is taking so long compared to the reorganizing, verifying and 95% of the patching?
  18. Ok so let rewind to about a year ago where the cap was raised on decorations from 50-100 of certain decorations such as chairs and junk lights to 500+ (I currently have 489 junker lights). " The idea of "place chairs in every hook" for your bonus is not a great experience". In my experience you have two types of players that decorate strongholds: 1) those who do it for the conquest bonus and do not want to take hours upon hours to decorate 2) those who enjoy decorating and putting this time in. Why increase the cap of certain items on small hooks to 999 a year ago if now you are going to say it ruins the experience? I can see two main options and in this case and both changes will follow by player backlash. 1) only allow a max of certain decoration in each stronghold and reduce the number of hook required to max for conquest. This will anger those who actually like to decorate the stronghold that will complain they don't have enough hooks to decorate the way they like (aka Tatooine cap increase a year ago) 2) As above but leave the hooks alone but this would require pulling up decos and replacing them. This would force those that max for conquest to go back and spend time decorating which will cause complaints as well. Here are my suggestions: Find a way to stop the mega guilds on servers from continually farming last boss lockouts every night and find a way to stop precrafting on crafting weeks. This one is a maybe but once a toon reaches personal conquest reward disable the stronghold bonus. This would allow smaller size guilds that have multiple toons per person a chance to compete over mass recruiting guild. Thoughts by community?
  19. Eric, From what I'm getting from my guildies on Discord is as follows: Conquest Guild reward has been given to some players The Conquest board now says it is Rakgoul week instead of Gree At work so I can not confirm but this is the feedback I am getting
  20. Yesterday I was on Nar Shaddaa doing the heroic where you need to kill Jedi and Destroy supplies. During this time I ran into two players from the same guild and my camera started acting all glitchy when I was within about 30m from them. Fast forward to right now. Same players, same heroic, same situation. When I asked in General chat the one player from that guild started with "well if your computer can't handle the game" and other trash talk to multiple people that had experienced the same thing. Is this something the other player is doing? It looked to me like one was fighting and the other was on auto follow the whole time. When the auto follow would get stuck on a wall or something on the floor it would act the same as if a companion had got stuck, rapidly going from stuck point to followed players position. ****Leaving Names, guild, and server out because of forum rules, would just like to know why this is happening.
  21. I disagree slightly because gear does make a difference in lowbie and mid brackets and I have tested this as my guild on JC plays in these two a lot. I run at level all blue gear with blue augs currently and massacre people this is upgrading in tier as available by crafting with legacy gear. i can easily break 1.5 Mil damage in these tiers on range classes and scoundrel and easily break 1 mil on mDps classes. Here is the current breakdown of gearing unaugmented when I did testing with G/B/P gear. Green- higher damage / lower health Purple - Higher health / lower damage Blues - Even damage to survivability So basically blue was the best option because I had slightly lower base dmg than green and slightly lower health than purples but outperformed both. When it came to augmenting I would do all crit on ranged and endurance on melee.
  22. Why would they add a stronghold there is currently no content for?
  23. I see this as another "its too hard, I want something for nothing thread". They already changed it where you get a set of 236 gear for a lot cheaper with unassembles and you don't even have to get the 230s to upgrade. You can also now get 230s stupid cheap using token. So for us that did the grind on multiple toons to min/max you are saying you should be able to enter PVP with a fresh toon and have equal gear? Why not just take gear out completely? (same difference) Here are some suggestions: 1) Run Heroics: there are some that require only 3 or 4 per planet. 2) Operations: find a good guild that will run you through KP/EV hard mode and other story modes. All of these can be done in 230s. You can easily get into 236/242 gear 3) PVP- then do pvp to upgrade to 248s
  24. Noobish question but I am wondering why the alacrity for deception is so high. I mainly pvp and augment power/crit but am slowly getting into PVE. Looking at the google doc it says I should be at 1400 alacrity but why so much? the only difference I can see so far is the cooldown on Reaping Strike, low slash (useless on Op bosses) , and assassinate which is proc'd by my phantom stride anyways.
  25. I would venture to say No until there is another couple tiers of gear out for the following reason: 1) You are wanting something for nothing - Why should other players grind pvp, operations, heroics, and ect to get the best gear possible just for someone that did ZERO work to be on a par level with them? 2) The casual players are already catered to - They have already changed the gear aqusition to cater to the unlucky or casual players. You can straight up buy 236's with pvp unassembled components or a full set of 230 set bonus gear with Tokens
