its called expertise. if you have full champ gear right before 1.2 dropped with the new expertise rating then you pretty much get screwed until you get BM pieces. people that hit me for 4-5k have like over 1k expertise while i have like 580. the most i get now is like 3.8k on a shoot first. i expect that to go up with more BM pieces. On top of that crits over 5k seem rare to me and you make it seem like it happens all the time. when i check the highest hit stat at the end of a match i rarely see a 5k crit. But you probably think I'm stupid because you're probably the greatest pvp player on the planet.

still scrapping. though it takes some getting used to. the 12sec CD on backblast is manageable, but the reduced dmg to sucker punch sucks

weakening blast, hemo blast, shrap bomb, and vital shot are the focus of DF. Charged Burst, trickshot, Aimed shot are the focus of SS. speed shot and sab charge fits into both.

gunslingers/snipers are in high demand for raids. and in pvp a good GS will top the charts in Damage and rip apart just about everyone even tanks when specced right.

exactly this. Aimed shot takes way too long with a DF build. targets can easily leave your line of sight in this amount of time. and in pvp people move everywhere.

I dont think I've ever been hit with 5k consistently from anyone. Maybe like once every 5-6 WZ matches. but I'm not the one playing your character so I don't know.

Everything is great except for when i found out champ gear became nearly useless with the giant expertise increase to battlemaster gear. And battlemasters are ticked off? at least they have 1k expertise. people like me who only got to champ/cent gear cause of valor ranking got the short end of the stick. However novare coast is awesome

eh...i needed more time to get BM gear for rated anyway

it took me 4 days to get 400 expertise rating. just suck it up it doesnt even take long to get centurion gear. and now in 1.2 you can buy pvp gear with credits

you are right about the training simulation theme. Alderaan is the only WZ thats not same faction.

still waiting because that doesnt work for an mmo since you get credit for killing someone by just doing damage. 50 kills per team would be over in like 1 min. and classes without a lot of AOE will be at a disadvantage. objective based games are much better.

range is increased to 35m for snipers. its 10m for operatives

sounds just like snipers in real-life. I play a sniper and its quite fun in both pvp and pve. i would agree tho I'm in champ/cent armor and i kill BMs without trouble sometimes. 1.2 is actually buffing sniper talent trees so...everyone is screwed?

my thoughts are that you need to quit mmorpgs. these things will never change. at least i'd prefer them not to. i don't want to use a lightsaber and i'm glad i was given the option to be ranged dps.

i dont see the problem. difficulty feels the same as other mmos. as for sprint, you cant just permanently increase the run speed because it would break comabt and LoS. MMOs arent the only games with grind. All games have grind and most are unavoidable. even fast paced games like FPS have grind.

Seriously who ever at bioware thought it was a good idea to give sentinels/marauders temporary stealth should be shot point blank in the face. The ONLY classes that should be able to stealth and disappear are scoundrel/operative and shadow/assassin. Sentinels/ marauders are pure dps and they can sneak out of fights while snipers/gunslingers are also pure dps yet they just sit there and take the beating. I have a 50 sniper and a 41 scoundrel. as a sniper I can escape for awhile but people always escape and chase me down regardless. When a sniper/gunslinger stuns someones for pushes them back they can still be chased down because they're not INVISIBLE. It's just something I shouldn't have to worry about. When I open with big numbers on my scoundrel against a sentinel/marauder they disappear and i just don't even bother looking for them because I'll get killed trying. I know nothing will be changed but i just wanted to share my opinion on a stupid design choice. However I still love the game despite the little things.

There many reasons why a car won't start just as there are many reasons why games run slow. I mentioned ONE issue which was the topic of the thread.

I'm quite beyond the minimum specs of any game. I run many other games just fine on high settings (Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Modern Warfare, to name a few). SWTOR is no exception. Sure it doesn't totally measure up to the the shooter games mentioned but neither did WOW. I'm not trying to come off as arrogant, just sharing my experience.

i don't see the problem. Ive never EVER had fps issues...and Ive done a lot of PVP both in WZs and Ilum (I've had some pretty good, even, battles on ilum). It's not the engine and I'm just going to assume you know nothing about programming (not that I do, just calling it like I see it).

NEUTRAL EQUIPMENT! on my smuggler i don't want to be a saint or a douchebag

you can move the party box. just click the button on the top of the party box (should a symbol of stick figures in a row) and hit unlock frame. from there you can move it where ever and lock it back up. in preferences you can also change the size of party member health bars. Although it doesn't bother me that much, i have to agree that there does need to be better customization.

People want everything handed to them for free even though MMOs are based on a reward system. Just need to find a guild that PvPs and does Ops together and it really is quite fun. People don't want to get man handled for few days after hitting 50 in pvp just to get centurion gear (which is a lot easier to get now. it only takes like 4 days) and people are trying to find HM and Ops groups without the help of a guild. I don't see the problem I quite enjoy the endgame

so apparently everyone was hoping for this game to have 10 years worth of content on its release? They didn't make the game and then call it quits. We will see patches and new content over the coming months. As far as bugs go...i don't know what everyone is ************ about, there's nothing that I've seen that can be considered game breaking; the bugs Ive seen are what I call "skyrim bugs" (meaning they don't break the game or make me angry) yea Ilum needs some work but I've had some pretty fun battles there and I quite enjoy warzones. Its definitely the smoothest launch for an MMO that I've ever seen. If you're going to ***** about nothing then **** of the forums the game is obviously not for you.

I gotta say you're doing a good job. I don't know why so many people are hating. IMO 8+ medals, top tier damage/kills means you played a good game and that you're doing something right. Keep it up!

mmos are huge projects, you cant release too much content all at once. the game would have to come out in 2015 if they added twice as much **** thats already in the game. not to mention they wouldve spent much more money. seems no one understands game development these days.
