There is that option at least for some cinematics (auto-skip movies) forget where it is exactly but it exists. Doesn't work on the speeder bikes and neither does space bar. I've pounded it almost to death and its done nothing last 6 VS matches I defended so I'm calling bs.

Funny you should mention that... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=321174

See another melee class that is gimped by requiring not just melee range, not just facing, but also positional. I have a scoundrel alt so I feel your pain.

Yep, I'd rather wait in the arena until it fills. The guy who is "taking a dump" will miss the prompt and then a solo q'r will get in.

qft, like roots and slows not effecting resolve. But really why not just add a button for Merc's that says *drool here to win*. At least the sniper above plays a skill cap class.

Get out of cover then? Heaven forbid I EVER be able to jump on you. No, you should just sit behind your magic laser wall and free cast unlike any other class in the game.

Right now this game is TOTALLY range benefiting. Slows and roots do not effect resolve, so the least they could do for melee is to allow moving through to work. After all MELEE has to be facing why the heck should melee be penalized and range not?

Yeah! Bring back UO one push and exhausted...*rolleyes*

Please fix this, seriously. If I want to be outnumbered I will go to ilum (I do). In a WZ it should be about skill, not luck or server pop for a faction. How about you not start a wz until 8 people have ACCEPTED a queue pop. Just do a check to see if someone is afk or not once you get 8 folks all accepting then start it. Better to have someone afk INSIDE a wz then having a wz spawn with 6 or even less on a side due to pop imbalance. It's really stupid. Having 6 or less vs 8 is an auto win for the other team in voidstar/alderaan this is just silly. Fix it.

Bumpity, by all means vent about the bikes here. Also +1 or /sign if you agree lets get this garbage changed!

Title says it all. You basically are handing 1st defenders an auto-loss if it's during off peak hours where folks are slow to accept queues. Please get rid of this stupid, non-sensical, slower than molasses and not in ANYWAY adding to RP, speeder bike ride at the beginning of Voidstar for defenders. While you are at it why not make med centers semi-permeable and allow folks to leave automatically after 10 seconds as individuals or 15 or 20 or w/e. Then you can prevent luck wins where you wipe out a large part of the defending team at the same time and then, due to pure luck they auto spawn (door is down upon release) on defense, and boom a new full team. This happens in about 25% of Voidstar games and gives the lucky door team an HUGE advantage. If it happens once no big deal, but a couple of lucky breaks, or the opposite where they all die and get the full 24 can make or break that wz. Regardless of the last part, for the love of gawd, get rid of the speederbike ride. Totally pointless and actually breaks the wz at times.

Funny, I kill snipers as fast as I can when I see them. Those guys absolutely tear up the other team and do it in a non-flashy way. No bright dual wielding sabers or double-blade sabers schwing schwinging. No lightning or giant rock spewing. Just nearly silent super ranged epic damage. Good snipers often top damage charts due to being ignored by the less aware players.

Sadly it's not a bug. I have exhaustively read the Resolve bar thread and now use the cc breaker "appropriately" ONLY when resolve bar is full. Result? Very short immunity and then ongoing chain CC including roots and slows which do not effect resolve bar and have no diminishing returns of any kind. This is "working as intended". In other words CC heavy specs/classes dominate if the player is intelligent.

Shuts melee completely down. Sents can use ONE channel which is used strategically as often as possible and therefore very often on CD and perhaps one of three 10m range attacks. They all require focus in one case 4 focus, which is a ton, and another requires you to have an enemy down to 20%. There is a third ranged attack which is very small damage but a healing debuff but all of them are 10m. Some roots are castable at +10m making melee worthless for the duration unless someone wanders into melee range. This is a frequent occurrence in huttball. A root on the fire is VERY MUCH control. No disputing that unless you don't understand the definition of control.

I'm annoyed because I liked it and say the 11 vs 8 man wz exploit is a far, FAR bigger more game breaking problem. They should have just nerfed for stealthers, but w/e. I still rock in WZ except for that whole chain cc thing and yes I know to wait until resolve bar is full to cc break...but that's a different thread.

wow a tiny amount of commendations that are worthless once you hit valor 60 who cares. On the other hand the reusable heals were stupendous. I agree just needed to nerf for stealthers.

Have to agree here. Also hotpockets were good in 1997 if I was wasted enough, but now seem broken, they need a buff.

One thing to keep in mind is that greater health pool means bigger heals from certain effects like the PVP healing consumable or Sentinel crit burn 2% heal. So that ought to be taken into consideration as well. I've also read numerous times that 8% expertise is the tipping point into diminishing returns anyone have a solid link to back that up or debunk it? I personally wear a mix to get some expertise but also more health and str as my main stat. I know that if you go crazy with rare drop schematics and make crit versions of columi stuff with the augment slot you DEFINITELY get the edge.

Funny I didn't get that at all, his posts imply the opposite that most are baddies, but even playing badly they are powerful due to the wide assortment of skills. Furthermore, a well played hybrid sorc is straight up OP. His original post was actually an assessment of abilities not an implication of the skill or lack thereof of players...

LOL, right cause sorcs never kill folks with stuns...right....RIGHT?! Come on man his changes are perfectly reasonable. A good sorc using CC wisely will lock me down and carry on DPSing the crud out of my team mates. They can also kite all day if they have half a brain. If you can't do it, you are playing your toon wrong. The difference between a good sorc and a bad one is almost as wide a gulf as a good vs bad sent/marauder.

Spot on OP and cheers. I love the comparison to Marauder/Sent which has very little utility outside of group buffs and then comparable DPS with weak CC. Marauders/Sents are FORCED to 31 point spec to be viable at all. Either BW needs to make us all have some hybrid spec potential (eg moving precision slash down to tier 3 or what have you) or they need to make all classes be 31 point talent classes. If only some classes have access to viable hybrids those hybrids CANNOT be more powerful that going 31 points deep. Great post, great points, great solutions. I usually eat sorcs for breakfast, but have always been jelly of their hybrid abilities and the complete lack in my class. They dominate huttball as everyone knows. If more top tier players played sorcs then it would be clear how OP they are. Luckily baddies flock to the sorc so most are very, very killable especially for my scissors to their paper class. That said the most feared opponents on my server are all hybrid sorcs. They just have top shelf players behind them and the CC/DPS combo is unbeatable in the most skilled players hands.

I hear that, bought a six month one myself. Also regretting it. I'm just praying, PRAYING that they start focusing on PVP a bit more. Unreal that they "fix" shockfrozen water and surge, but meanwhile do nothing about game breaking exploits like 8 vs10+. We actually beat a 11 man team last night with 8 but that's because we lucked into 6 of us being from our guild a 4 man pre-made and two solo queuers. It was close but we won. Still it shouldn't take 6 people coordinating to have a prayer of beating a team with 3 more than you. Definitely upset right now and regretting 6 month sub. I hope when folks cancel they put "due to pvp issues".

Psst...PVE gear is better than PvP gear after you hit 8% expertise.

Hey Ammit this is Nai'Rillian (Sentinel) always have good fights with you cheers!

Fair enough, I just took exception to the claim that OP's with 600 expertise can't even do 50% to an undergeared newb 50 sage. That's just simply not true.
