That many of you don't understand how a person quitting a match is disruptive to the game shows me that you all have never played any team sports and/or have extremely poor sportsmanship. Bottom line: that other big MMO has a deserter debuff and the quitter problem does not exist. This game does not have a debuff and the quitting problem is quite rampant.

You guys must be new to MMOs....

Ironically, I think Nicain has done the OP a huge favor with his posts in this topic. By revealing the attitude and motivations of people like him, it becomes more apparent that a deserter type debuff is necessary to keep people like him from negatively impacting the pvp experience of others. Hopefully, anyone on the fence about this issue is convinced by the shamelessly selfish attitude he displays for us here.

This healer whine is completely unwarranted. I play a commando healer and even on the worst of teams you can go to sleep and get at least 5 or 6. 90% of the time I'll have the 8 medal maximum well before the end of the game regardless of winning or losing anyway. To not get 3 you must be ignoring all objectives, not healing over 2.5k in one shot, and doing less than 75k total heals. Yes, at that point you ARE useless and deserve nothing. Edit: I see you claim 2 for the 2.5k and 75k total healing. So, you must have ignored the objectives the entire game, never snuck in a killing blow, had less than 10 enemies die, etc. I call BS.

Yes, before 1.2 this forum was a model of harmony and the only posts were made to celebrate how well balanced the game was....you keep thinking that.

For these complaints to make sense, you have to assume that low ilvl players are on one team versus War Hero players on the other team. Clearly, this is not the case. Second, and more importantly, even if you lose 70% of you games, it STILL only takes a few days to get a full set of BM. Getting expertise so you don't blow up instantly is easy, and gearing up is relatively quick and easy. It sounds like those complaining just don't want to be playing an MMO. You do have to invest some time into the game, and you do get rewarded for that time. Deal with it or go play an FPS.

Fail math is fail. Many servers often have far lass than 100 players queueing at any given time. Queues would only be the same if people only queued 16 at a time. Clearly this is not the case, so you always have extra people waiting for more people to queue or a match to end so those people will requeue. With only enough for one game at a time to be played, extras can be stuck waiting 20 minutes or more for each game to finish and hoping for there to be enough players queued and for him to be picked by the system. More players means more games ending on a more frequent basis, which means less wait times. Additionally, cross-server increases the number of opponents available and allows a much better competition rather than playing the same 3 teams over and over and over again. People said the exact same thing you guys are before WoW's cross-server queues, and they were a runaway success.

Yeah. I hate to say it, but my wife who is not a gamer even blew through this stuff without issue. I can't imagine what you must be doing for it to be difficult, much less impossible.

More experience in WZs is all that I care about...this is great news.

Just wanted to throw this out there: The Swiftsure has been having some awesome Ilum battles going on lately. Republic is getting together and putting out big numbers for good times.

Pure RNG is bad design. This removed much of the RNG. Good fix.

Use macro-enabled keyboard or mouse, bind the proper attacks in priority, completely dominate. Giving a class a ton of keys to bind and then making it super strong is not balance. That's like saying you're going to make a class be super strong, but a guy comes and hits you in the back of the head the whole time you play. It's not balanced, its just making one class better than the rest at the cost of being a pain in the *** to play as.

The change only makes powertech burst more reliable, it should go off about every 6-7 seconds. As a 50 powertech, this just makes sense and is far better game design.

If I ever achieve something this epic, my life will be complete.

Only on these forums is 1.7 million subs with estimated growth cited as evidence AGAINST said growth.

I find it hilarious that the very first reply was a person stating that the numbers are going down despite that very plainly not being the case. Apparently the 1.5 million subs soon after launch is a greater number than 1.7 million and WAY higher than the predicted 2 million. This forum really does have the absolute worst set of trolls I've ever seen.

this! This! A thousand times this!

Basically everything listed there is extremely nitpicky (GM events? No faction change? Killing your companions? REALLY??), stupid and useless (housing, RP tools, swimming), or wrong (chairs, doors, etc ARE in the game). High-res textures is about the only complaint I can give any real credit to. If you want changes, focus on stuff that actually impacts gameplay (smart tab targeting, macros, customizable UI). Fluff has to wait for the game to work out all of the kinks first.

Exactly. If Terentatek is barren, merge it with another barren server. Not with one that is doing fine.

Something like..predation? force camo? A gap closer on a short 15 second cd?

Are you seriously asking people to use even less teamwork? Before you know it, we're going to have people asking to not even be allowed to talk in Warzones for the unfair advantage it gives them.

Nice comeback. What are you? 12?

Because tanks and healers do AWESOME when there is no one worth healing or guarding. Really, you just proved that you're a bad.

Pick the green race, they get their own unique resting animation where you can meditate and glow instead of tapping on your gun.

Sounds like little Jimmy never made the team as a child, and has coped by drawing the conclusion that playing as a team means you're bad.
