    I'm a crappy pug

    I'm stuck solo guarding. I guess I'm suppose to solo everybody and not let the rest of my team I've spotted enemy heading for my position. I died. Well, the respawn wall doesn't take that long so I can come back and finish him off and hopefully the rest of my team won't notice. I need someone here to hold my hand guarding. I need them to call out inc and watch the node or I'll have to die, not saying anything, and blame my team for leaving an incompetent guard there.

    You mean I actually have to work for a win?! *Leave Warzone* I'm too good to be in a bad team. *Leave Warzone* That one person with low gear made us all play bad..."thanks for the loss noob!" (apparently his presence made the buttons sticky and the mouse stop responding) HUTTBALL : Alright! I got the ball! Now, to show everyone what I'm made of...better fight my way to the endzone.... CW/NC : Sure is quiet here on this node. I think the other team forgot about it. I better go help out mid... VOIDSTAR : Oh no, the door blew up. I'm going to join the other half of the team and hold these 1 or 2 guys from making it to the next room...
  3. My lowbie pug theme song. I make an honest effort at the start but eventually I get infuriated with the majority of the team and just collect my medals. You can't fix stupid.
  4. At least once a day I read the PvP, General Discussion, and Suggestion Box forums. A lot of players have really great suggestions and there are multiple threads, some even redundant, about what they would like to see added or changed to the game for a better playing experience. I am not including threads about nerfs or buffs because in my own opinion it’s usually someone who has no concept of ability rotations or warzone objectives. Trust me, I can't begin to count how many times I've heard the Benny Hill Theme play when that spawn wall goes down. Not too often is there a moderator posting on confirming specific ideas let alone confirming their interest in a thread. All I'm asking is that there be a sticky on this forum resembling something similar to the way the patch notes are laid out indicating that specific ideas have been heard and passed on to appropriate personnel. I'm not even asking for an implementation date, which I'm sure is literally non-existent. Just something saying that they have brought up and discussed commonly addressed suggestion i.e. open space flight, player bounties, open world PvP incentives, night/day planets, spectator mode in warzones, more CE items in vendor, dueling area in fleet, etc. Thank you.

    Oh look a healer. I'm going to try and kill him to prevent him from healing...if only there was a way to place a colorful icon above him, so that everyone knows to attack him... I just captured a node *pat self on back* I clearly don't need to stay here and guard this node even though I'm the only one here. I need to be a hero and solo cap any node that we don't have control of. And, since someone else will see it alone and go to guard it, I also don't need to mention it in chat.

    Sut-tek. You didn't scratch his name off the you target reticule.

    The best offense is a good defense...Let's all hang out at our endzone killing whoever tries to score. That guy just scored. Let get him guys! (20 seconds later) There we got him. That will teach him. *rotworms/frog-dogs score* Let's get that guy now too!... We're losing? Everyone sucks but me. I'm running around trying to get the most kills and and my team can't do anything right. *blame loss on noobs and leave*
  8. A fix is not being requested. Its a suggestion for the raid frame to easily identify who's carrying the ball. I too have this problem. I either (A) squint to try and see the first letter of their name and trying to find that person in my raid frame with a little huttball symbol or (B) look in my raid frame for someone losing health the fastest. A simple color change to their name plate on the frame or anything to distinguish them from everyone else would be nice.
  9. I can see how skill could become an issue in this suggestion. Maybe a combination of both can be implemented. Like having an expertise cap depending your skill rating or something to that affect. Right now there is no reason to acquire rated gear when it comes modless and isn't different from other gear except color-wise. If they would change BM gear on up according to skill rating, ie recruit: 0-500, Battlemaster: 501-1400, War Hero: 1401-2300, Elite War Hero (Conqueror): 2301+. I think that would be a step in the right direction. Overall I think the gear grind and incentives need a restructuring. As for players not being told they're bad, oh freakin well. They don't have to be told directly. Them not going up in skill rating is plenty enough. You can't expect to cater to the whinners or nothing will ever click in their head. Hopefully they'll realise all the players they blamed for their loss will are advancing.
  10. At night I like to whip out my concealment operative and I got an idea. Why not have expertise brackets for Lv 50+ PvP? I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere, but more along the lines of 0-500, 501-1000, and 1001+. There's always room for tweaking and stuff but this would relieve the chatter about undergeared players. Of course we'd have players trying to swap gear out to raise their expertise after a queue or warzone match but that can be fixed by making gear unchangeable while queued. In my opinion, for best results on queue times, would be to implement cross server queues, but I could be wrong. Either way the community is asking for cross server queues anyways. Now all we need is a solution for all those non-teamwork oriented players who have no concept of warzone objectives and consider all warzones one big deathmatch.
  11. It gives me over 3k regular and about 5.3k when crit'd. My Willpower is about 1940 and power 1012 with 1288 expertise. Then again I'm a madness hybrid.
  12. I admit I'm not a healer but can as a 11/12/18 hybrid if I have to and I feel sorcerer has become a challenge in PvP. I get an instant whirlwind from madness and can heal for over 50% by Recklessness -> Unnatural Preservation -> Rakata Medpac -> Resurgence.
  13. "Survivor of the Rakghoul Plague" "Hero of (insert planet name)" "Dethroning Malgus" Just a few ideas.
  14. Yes, and I know It goes in the combat log but I don't want to have to keep glancing over. The message already says that someone was defeated, so altering it to say by who, wouldn't be much different. It could have an option to keep it in the chat box or display it in front like any other broadcast announcement. May even have it to where it says who on your team killed who from the other team.
  15. WARZONES 1. Why is it that when I spawn into Huttball I have to run to the start area? Can we remove those first two rooms and spawn in the re-spawn area. I understand the Vendor was working at one point and the Vendor can also be moved in the re-spawn area. It's the only vendor that I had to race back to buy something and make it out of the re spawn area before I get booted. 2. I personally hate those starting cutscenes. I don't care about the story in voidstar and mini war going on in Novare Coast. I have never watched the entirety on the Novare Coast cutscene and the only reason the voidstar cutscene played through was because I was doing something after joining. Save me from pressing spacebar twice or escape to skip these. If you don't want to remove these then make it an option to disable them. 3. I thought the speeder ride was removed from Voidstar. I don't need a tour of the area especially in the 50 bracket. Remove it again or make it an option to auto-spawn in re-spawn area. 4. Voidstar and Novare Coast are the only 2 warzones that ask me to press spacebar to enter a warzone. Can you remove this like the way we automatically enter Huttball or The Civil War? 5. Bring back the auto-queue for the next warzone option. 6. It may just be me but in Civil War I'm pretty sure the speeder placements differ on Imp vs Imp games. I don't think it's all the speeders but the one I noticed is the initial left speeder. Not to be confused with the far left speeder when capturing a turret. 7. Not to sound too picky but in Voidstar the hangar is really impractical to be really used as an actually hangar but looking out the window There appears to be a sun in the background. A sun that size and color would not be that dull. 8. I think it would be nice to say who or what killed who. I am aware it shows in the combat log but to me a small text announcement would be nice. The simple has been defeated is nice to see but at least we can see which teammates are taking names. A side suggestion would be keep the simple defeated message on our end but show who we are killing. 9. I may be mistaken but I think in Novare Coast I hear "An enemy is Unbeatable/ Invincible/ Immortal." when in fact it is a teammate. Shouldn't it say, "An ally is Unbeatable/ Invincible/ Immortal." OPTIONAL ADD-INS 1. A lot of players complain of the re-spawn wall. A suggestion to removing this would implement a current in-game scoreboard with a kill cam shot.
  16. What has been recently mentioned that I took notice to was being able to watch currently played warzones. I think it would be a great addition to get a list of current warzones with the current score, and players in them. Maybe a spectator mode option to follow certain players, teams, or the ball for huttball. Making it a duel area would be nice since Han Solo shot Greedo in the cantina.
  17. My hybrid is one few very few I think. 12/17/12 http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#201rMrozZfMMMbMbZsr0Ro.2 It works well in PvP after getting used to the controls. I don't do much PvE but I imagine if I can use it in PvP I should have no trouble fighting scripted battles.
  18. Hello, I like completing quest and obtaining titles in my free time when I am not PvP'n. My question is since there is already a group finder, are there any plans to create a quest finder and a list of required quest to complete in order to obtain certain titles? I know a lot of titles are disable or are no longer obtainable, but I would like to know where on any planet are the quest I have not yet completed to include Heroics. I really don't want to wonder all around the map until an questable icon appears on my minimap. It would also be nice if we can view achievements on other players such as titles obtained, things they've done, and PvE/ PvP stats. Thank you.
  19. I was recently in a Civil War warzone and capturing the eastern turret and called out an incoming. I called out "1 inc east" and the reply I got was "it's snow or grass". I called out again "east" and was defeated. Help never came so I'm under the assumption that some people would rather I use terrain features over cardinal direction to call out incoming enemy players.

    Apology

    Cool story, bro.
  21. I don't care to know which side snow or grass are. I can read a map just fine and I know West is left and East is right. It spells WE for you slower folks. I can't understand how some think East and West change. You must also think the world is flat and the sun turns off at night. The day snow and grass become a standard in ALL warzones and everyday life, I'll convert. Left and right on the other hand is different because most players use that when referring to spawn points. Highway patrol - "I got a vehicle heading snow bound on interstae 10." Yeah, I don't think so. If you ask me they should just place a W and an E on edges of the wz maps. Even after that I doubt this snow and grass jibberish will end.
  22. Can't tell if trolling or stupid. When you read a map East and West never change. Your minimap directions will always be oriented the same way. last time I played a republic character the map was oriented the same way as imperial which means west is still west and east is still east. I really don't feel like learning different names for different directions for different maps. West is left and east is right on minimap directions. It works for all warzones and you don't have to think of the scenery.
  23. Better off by asking them to pause all buff timers when in a rest area.
  24. 1) My suggestion for battlegroups would be to have 4 main groups. PvP, PvE, RP-PvP, and RP-PvE. My speculation would be to that PvP servers have better prepared PvPers than that of PvE. It may not be by much but I still think they should have their own category. What's the point of the running to the start point in Huttball if you took out the droid? Why not start me off in the holding area? I hear a lot about uneven fighting in warzones which I have experienced too myself. Why not allow only the same amount of players in the warzone as there is on the other side? Yeah, if they have 3-7 players, then only 3-7 players from your team are allowed in the warzone until the other team gets more. Should be regulated by how many the lowest player team has and not by how many are actively in the arena. Flashpoints should also work in a similar fashion. Queue up for a Flashpoint you want and what role you would like to play. 2) There should be some incentive for fighting other players in world PvP. Should be xp, rated commendations, and/or valor. Base it off levels to eliminate lower level farming and grieving. As my PvP stims say "Only usable in Player versus player environments." Last time i checked PvP servers had an open world PvP. So why can't I use them there? If I can't queue for a warzones because of low pop at least let me hunt other players for commendations or make use of that deserted area on Tatooine by bumping up everyones starts to 50 when you enter? Why else is it there other than to take up space. 3) What's the deal with space battles? I would like to fly around freely and get into trouble. Why not a space battle PvP warzone or a PvE raid on the opposing fractions fleet station? And for god sakes how do I shut my ship droid up without muting the other companions? extra: 3) I really liked the badge system in SWG. In order for me to keep my Dark V title I must remain dark. I thought once i earned it, it was mine. What's the point of PvP stats if I can't view someones that I'm inspecting? Why not incorporate a badge system that shows the stuff a player has done, been to, titles earned, and PvP stats? 4) The codex tab is a bit vague. I would like to know specific beats i haven't encountered or which mission I must complete in order to earn titles. You have a similar system in play for bonus series missions showing which mission I must complete. I don't like that fact that some job classes can't receive them all and have a it labeled as missing. I wish I could think of more stuff I hated.
  25. I think the majority of MMO logic is, "If I kill you, you are a noob. If you kill me, you exploited or are overpowered and should be nerfed."
