  1. YOu make it sound like you really need those stats for world pvp only one problem YOU NEED WORLD PVP this game haz zeeeeeeeeeeeeeero world pvp except for the 2 encounters a day on tattoine.

     

    I'm just curious. I don't NEED those stats, just want to know. I agree that OW PVP is severely lacking in this game, but I imagine it's different on each server.

  2. Can someone tell me if the Expertise stat has an effect in Open World PVP? Just to be clear, when I say OWPVP, I don't mean objective focused Ilum gameplay. I mean random encounters in places like Tatooine, Voss, or even the quest side of Ilum. TIA
  3. I have created thread for that but over-zeal moderators are over-zeal moderators...

     

    Yes, I saw your other thread. This current thread (based on the OP) seems to focus only on WZ related issues, while your thread focused on OW PvP related issues. The moderator Arzhanin was too clueless to understand the differences and closed your thread and redirected us to this thread. How a mod can derail the OP is beyond me - it's just another indication that BW doesn't get the nuances of PvP.

     

    Apologies to the OP for this off-topic rant.

  4. Currently, I'm a lvl 42 BH doing OW PVP on Ilum. I prey on enemy questers and I always open with a pet mez. I've had close to 100 battles so far and would like to note that win or lose, the enemy's pet stays mezzed. Most of the time. There have been about 10 fights where I noted that shortly after engaging the main player (not the pet), the enemy's pet has joined the fight. I am not doing AEs, so I know I'm not breaking the mez. I must conclude that a small portion of lvl 50s have figured out how to counter my tactic and break their pet's mez.

     

    How they are doing this, I don't know. I just know that it's being done. That means that they have either discovered an exploit (i doubt this) or that they know about some game mechanic that allows them to counter my mez because they are a better player than me. I believe this to be the case, which means I believe the OP is just ignorant of top level pvp tactics. If BW does nothing to support the OP's position, then they are sending a signal that this aspect of pvp is "as designed". Only time will tell. Or perhaps a PvPer will divulge the tactic to unmez their pet.

     

    EDIT: I just realized one other possiblity. I use Gault as my pet during these fights. My Gault has been known to attack things he should not be attacking: like friendly faction guards in friendly bases during duels. I have obeserved this only 2 or 3 times on my way upto 42. There is a small chance that this bugged Gault is breaking the mez. But I have not observed him doing this during these fights.

  5. Took my 35 BH to Ilum for the first time the other night. Most disappointing experience so far in game. I was already bummed by the minimal OW PVP experiences already encountered and was hoping that Ilum would at least give me hope for lvl 50. But when I got there, I discovered that it's more like a warzone. Sucked in by marketing once again, doh!
  6. I have to agree with the OP. I'm on a PVP server and enjoy open world PVP. Not really into the warzone thing, but do it occasionally. In open world, once I got past Tat, I found almost no open world PVP. Me and my friend spend 3 hours a night combing thru different planets looking for enemy to kill. We usually end the night with one or two fights (sometimes none) after 3 hours. This is not what I signed up for - reminds me to much of Nagafen's decline in EQ2.

     

    I've considered going Republic, but I've played one on PVE and it is very bland and the toons give me the impression of having some small limitations wrt their mirrors.

  7. Personally, I still think Need is rollable for Companions in this game.. They are an integral part of your power output, and therefore you NEED to put them in good gear..

     

    But I know I'm quite alone on this..

     

    Thats ok with friends, but you'll get pushback in PUGs. It will just escalate where everyone rolls NEED all the time.
