So after all that waiting a get an email from a GM telling me they fixed it. I log in and the wrong item was given to me. I got the masters datacron and a equipment bundle and I got just the master's datacron. Is there a way to report to a senior GM or a manager or any kind of quality control number you can call to report this stuff? I am being completely mistreated as a customer for an issue that shouldn't exist and isn't that hard to fix. I was super clear in my tickets, im blown away how this is happening. Also, why do they close your tickets when the issue isn't resolved? Do they just close a ticket every time the read it?

So it dissappeared (timer) out of nowhere which is why i originally sent a ticket. I never interacted with the item, it was not part of a bundle.

I bought a Master's Datacron and equipment to sell on the GTN since I have no cash. The timer on it vanished but the item was still bound. I contacted a GM who sent me an in game ticket (which they closed because they always do even though its not resolved) and also followed up with an email. The explanation was that even though the timer says one thing, sometimes items take up to 72 hours to become unbound. But didn't explain why or let me know if they were intending to fix or put warnings on cartel items. I waited, it did not become unbound. I made a new ticket and waited.I updated the ticket and replied to the email. Waited with no response and updated the ticket again. The item has dropped 10 million in value during the wait period. To my knowledge I am unable to take any action myself. If anyone knows a work around for this issue or knows a better way to contact CS (Tried calling, was told too bad they don't help with this stuff) please let me know. I essentially paid RL money for something I can now no longer use and I'm getting pretty terrible customer service which (returning player from way back) is consistent and from past experience I doubt they will compensate me for my trouble or the fact they essentially have cost me ten million credits. The only thing I can think to do at this point is contact the BBB to get my money back since the product I paid for was not delivered.

Thanks everyone. had I ever done this classes story line I would have just used my 65 boost. That being said levels seem to fall out of the sky especially with legacy perks. Im not even in a guild and getting the 10% or using boosts and it is still insane. Going to save my boosts for after 50.

Thank you Trixxie. I went with Merc because I felt like playing the BH story line, essentially the information you gave me was exactly what I was looking for. insightful, helpful, and polite. Thank you. I think Ill try both at least to 50 since my main thing is trying stories out. I know 50 isn't close to 70 but by then would I have a good idea for the feel of the class?

Hey everyone. Old time pvper returning, felt like coming back to do a non force class Sith side to do the story because I never did Sith stuff. But alas I cannot stay away from PvP, never could. I read some posts and Arsenal merc seemed to be a good choice. Does it get better as it levels because right now I am getting crushed by melee especially sentinels. I heard sniper is really strong right now as well. Just looking for some advice/insight into why Merc aresenal is good, and the comparison between those two choices. Thanks everyone !

I noticed that, which is where to me the biggest difference is with sage and scoundrel. When a scoundrel comes upon a situation where someone needs attention fast they have to long of a wind up time where as a sage can throw a bubble to buy some time to get into a healing rotation. Bioware needs to fix this issue with scoundrels. Its great in pve where you can X2 SRM and go back into stealth. But in pvp where you might be running to a point to reinforce it your chances of saving a defender who was there before you is slim to none. Not to mention the sage can sprint and get there before you.

Thanks everyone. Ill stick with it and see how it goes higher level. At least now with the 12x xp buff you don't lose too much from a reroll.

I run duo with a vanguard. Right now we love my utility, the stealthing, stealthing him etc... But my raw heals are bad, even with his DefCDs. I also heard Sages are getting buffed and sawbones is getting nerfed in 3.3. Is that right? I want to play a scoundrel, but I want to be effective in pvp. I have no aversion to playing a sage other than leveling again. It seems there is no benefit to playing a scoundrel over a sage right now based off the feedback I get from everyone. Unless I am missing something.

Im running around WZs with my friend, when we are together I go sawbones. We have been playing DPS/Healer combo for over ten years in various MMOs and we are good. People are constantly hitting me for a quarter of my health, if I try to heal someone who is below 50% there is no way I can out heal DPS. I know scoundrels operate mainly off HoTs, and I dont have a shield or an instant burst heal to buy me time to catch a persons health up. Ill throw everything I have on someone or myself and just watch them disintegrate. However I see sages and sorcs throw their bubble up and laugh, whether they are DPS or heal spec they seem to out heal sawbones and out DPS them all from range. Whether they are specced heals or DPS they can do both very well at the same time. Is this how it is at 60? Im only level 40 so id reroll now than later. Im not worried about 60 with no gear. I know how MMOs go. I am more concerned with level 60 when gear and match ups are equal. If things stay the same there is no way I will be able to save anyone. I have 40k HP and 1833 exp at level 40. Someone just chained me for 11k, 8k, 7500 and someone else hit me for 9854. While that was happening my heals were ticking in the 100s. At level 60 in even match ups how does a scoundrel heal someone through the DPS of someone trying to take them out because right now it seems impossible. I played this game when the latest expansion was hutt cartel. I played a sage and scoundrel to 30s and they felt even as far as healing went. DPS felt even just way different style. Coming back to the same character I feel worthless when specced healing.

Thanks. I guess ill make a copy of this in the pvp forum.

Looking to return to the game with a friend of mine. I engage in all kinds of gameplay but he is pretty much just pvp, so on the nights he can play we will do a lot of pvp. Just wondering what the queu times are like, when the server is most active. Are there faction imbalances? Is the server active with GSF (Haven't done it at all)? Any classes/roles needed in pvp currently? Anything to stay away from? What are pugs like on each side? How bad is it to solo queu? Pretty much just looking for the over all rundown for pvp before we decide on a server/faction. Thanks.

Looking to return after a very long hiatus so I know nothing of the game. My friend is completely married to vanguard, and ive heard there is a shortage of healing in pvp so I figure ill make a healer and backpack my friend. We have done it in a lot of games and we are good at it. I could play a commando, and we would both be troopers which is kind of cool, but I hate the way commandos look. Im always cool with playing a smuggler or jedi, who isn't? In reality ill play any of the classes, just wondering how they heal now, how effective they are, which pairs best with a vanguard and if any of them have anything I really need to know. Thanks for your time.

Looking for a republic side RP guild, one that specifically fosters the Padawan Master relationship. Looking to know about all guilds, especially if I ever decide to break out my non Jedi characters, but for now that is mainly what I am looking for.

So I have left and come back to this game quite a few times since its release. Had a few friends talk me into returning, didn't feel like picking up any old characters so I started a new one. Im still in the low end pvp bracket, but seems like nothing has changed. I see tons of premade imperial groups, and reps still dont play the objective, attack healers etc... I often run into a lot of reps afking for the planetary coms. Does the next bracket and the 55 bracket continue with this trend? It has always been something Ive been torn about in this game. I hate sith, I hate RPing as a sith, I hate sith design and architecture, but I love to pvp and since ive played at release the balance has always swung heavily towards sith. I can deal with low level pvping being awful, no one working together or playing the objective. But if the higher level pvp and end game pvp is this way id just as soon quit the game now before I do a bunch of grinding only to quit as soon as I hit 55. Any feedback would be appreciated.

A good player will interrupt both of you and I cant think of anyone who cant interrupt multiple people with one attack. What the OP is saying is in your example the one player caps while the other CCs that guy with the attack so he never gets to attack the capper in the first place. I cannot count the amount of times in alderaan and voidstar that I would have capped (first one who started capping) if people ran interference instead of all capping at the same time. I agree with the OP, its an epidemic that needs to end.

Thanks. Is the 8% dmg on blaster whip worth losing the knock down from shoot first? Also, anyone have a similar build but more healer heavy? Ive heard people talking about them but no actual links to builds.

I am mainly looking for a build heavy on healing with enough DPS that you do not suck in a 1v1 fight. That being said I wouldnt mind seeing the adverse, a heavy DPS build with the instant HoT somewhere in it. Any help would be appreciated.

This. And I wish more people id that instead of just staring at the capper....anyway if stuns did not exist voidstar would not be a viable WZ because getting past the first set of doors would be almost impossible. You also arent putting in any other factors involved. Are you pre 50 or at 50? Is your gear up to date? usually when I see these types of complaints its actually something else the OP isnt aware of or just isnt mentioning in their rage. Also if you are getting hit with three stuns its probably more than one person attacking you, I dont know anyone with chainable stuns so its probably three people attacking you. If they did not have stuns would you have survived anyway? If someone is killing you inside a stun you probably werent going to beat them anyway.

Speak for yourself. I pull people out of stealth all the time. Reaction time is what you make of it. When im guarding a node I dont sit back and watch the game, my hands stay on the keyboard at the ready. I also randomly drop AOEs to keep stealth on their toes. If you are just sitting there chilling and the guy can just walk up to you unhindered in any way its your own fault. Drop your AOEs, drop your stealth scan ALL the time, not just when you catch him in your peripheral. You have to assume someone is coming for you if you are guarding a node alone, its just the name of the game. Also, turn on your web browser spell check. Its Stealth, not sleath. You spelled it sleath every single time. And if you hate stealth that much, try GW2 when it comes out, the game doesn't have true stealth like this game or WoW. WAR didnt either and I will admit it was really nice to not have to deal with it all the time. Personally I do not believe in true stealth as much fun as I have with it myself. It adds a level to the game that makes balance almost impossible to get perfect. That being said, it isnt impossible to deal with, people deal with it all the time. It just sounds like you personally cannot deal with it so you want it changed.

Yeah, I saw the title and read the OP and thought of the Princess bride when Mandy Patinkin says "I do not think that word means what you think it means."

They cannot be removed. Be mindful of when it happens and report it.

This is often a complaint I see made by people. The only 40+ people you get steam rolled by are the people who put tons of time and money into their gear. But a level 20 who does that will steam roll you. These complaints usually come from people who do not understand the bolster system. Bolster does not make everyone equal, that is a myth. Bolster does not mean people who are higher level then you are necessarily better than you. I wish I ran fraps when I pvped, id show you. Bolster increases your stats based off how level appropriate your gear is. So a level 20 with maxed out level 20 gear is going to crush a level 49 in mixed level 35-49 greens. So what happens is, people do regular questing with some pvp mixed in, and the gear they have is nowhere near level appropriate and is probably mixed greens with some random blues they found. They go into a warzone up against someone who is leveling exclusively with pvp, and ensures the gear they have is always up to date with there level. What those people are doing would be like going into the 50 bracket in level 30 greens and complaining about getting one shot, or going into a level 50 raid with mixed questing gear and complaining they cannot down content. And for the record, its not about there not being enough people. On my server (Ebonhawk) quees never stop popping, and on the weekend they pop every 30 seconds. The issue is having enough level appropriate people if you bracket it out. For that you would have to do cross server ques. I prefer seeing the people I know all the time. Also this would not fix anything, because regardless of what the top end of the bracket is, there will be people who get the max gear for that level and crush you. If you do not believe it try going and doing WoW pvp below level 85 without having heirlooms and max enchants and what not. You will literally be one shot by hunters and rogues. Ive seen people spend entire BGs in the Graveyard. At least in TOR you have some kind of chance with the bolster system. In most games you have zero chance.
