Guys thank you for all the replies currently my PC specs are : Intel Core i7 6700k Skylake ( I know is an older gen but its still holds up and the game was always played on this one) Nvidia CTX 1070Ti 16 gb ram and everything else seems fine, have enough disk space and so on. Maybe is a ram thing and I have to check what is running on the background that keeps spiking to 7gb ram even when I am barely doing anything even before playing the game.

Got back into the game after almost a year and a half ( I think) since Ossus came out and this time I had to redownload the game because of a login bug but I did it from the Steam edition for different reasons. Now my problem is I am seeing the game performance being a little clunkier or slower, load screen takes way longer, PVP in warzones is kind slower, even general gameplay overall. I don't know how to describe it exactly other than feeling slower and jumpier which it didn't do before and the only thing that is different is I got a new GPU compared to the last time I played and this one is better than the old one. Is this normal because of the Steam edition, patch, or general updates of the game, or can I try something to make the game run smoother?

Inspect would help new people have some idea where they want to go if they see someone dominating the fight so yes to this too please.

Welcome to what Republic side felt almost every day before this patch and imagine how frustrating it was to grind gear or anything through pvp on this side. What you see as bad now I see as just a little fairer. Some nights it feels like losing streak but mostly now its more fair and close matches much better than before.

Yeah adapt , if you see 6 enemy not letting you get your pylon then go theirs and take it or make them defend it just adapt.

Also the patch notes said the system will do it best to match even players and roles but sometimes it will do the best next thing. I imagine it doesn't count people dropping out of que either and that's the reason why sometimes you still get healers on 1 side and dps on the other because it replaces the spot with whatever it can find instead of losing the que pop so we don't wait longer.

This ^, you explained it a lot better and your post about moody players too. Also unless we have concrete data people saying the system is bad because they have lost what? 10 matches out of what? 40 a week? maybe 1 bad day of losing doesnt mean the system is broken if you won the other 30 that week.

I think most people are just used to the idea of having an easy match or at the very least a team stacked in their favor with really good pvpers vs the enemy team being whatever. Now they get someone who is a bit behind in gear or skill and they start getting mad before the match even starts. Why do I say this? because it happened to me when I started farming gear again the other day after a long break and was in 230 and people just started insulting me BEFORE the match started. So yeah at first I wasn't doing much as a 230 guardian but I need to start the grind somewhere right? and I don't have a lot of time to log in for the once in a full moon operation group in pub side. Eventually, I get to at least 236 and swap to tank ( If I do poor dps at the very least I know I can help with some dmg reduction) and guess what? I started getting top spots in the damn match because of doing objectives and helping with my specc even if my gear sucked and my dmg sucked even more. Still, people complained a lot before matches. I remember this one arena ( ranked this time because I wanted to do the quest and get more uns. parts) and the guy went off on me and said I wanted to throw the match and shouldn't que. Guess what? we won that damn match. So give people a chance and if possible just help a bit, doesn't have to be much maybe just get a strategy going before the match start instead of assuming everyone will fall in place in their own. Also since the patch its been more balance matches than one-sided ones and to be honest I had more fun than before. Again I think most people ( specially Imps) are used to just have this one-sided matches all night and having fun because of the endless wins without much competition. Now they have to work a little more for a win or just don't win constantly and are crying about it.

A smuggler not able to speak to a bounty hunter in Nar Shadda where is the lore in that? it would be like Luke or Vader or Han and Boba not being able to understand one another because one was in the rebellion and the other the empire.

I mean yeah it is , bla bla space wizards what I meant was it is not a medieval fantasy game with races that dont speak the same language , YES we have a lot of races but most speak basic.

Well at least it pops more , imagine getting your wish and only being able to que for 1 match a day because you cant find players to pvp? Is not like this game is super high in pvpers to begin with.Just look at it this way , eventually that person will be a full gear 248 healer that will keep you alive while you ***** in rank.

I don't get where people come saying it is against lore to talk between factions this isnt a fantasy game or some Star Trek one where people don't speak the same language here almost everybody in the lore speaks basic and theres a ton of stories where imps work with pubs so why would it be so lore breaking to speak between factions? at the very least speaking in whispers in pvp should be allowed.

Is poop because you guys cant work the system and dominate every match? Because thats what I keep seeing welcome to the other side pre patch and guess what ? from what I see now it seems more like 50- 50.

Thats the thing you only learn so much from regulars when the other team is just kicking your *** and you dont have a chance of doing anything the way the system is now it helps to balance it a little and bad pvpers learn from good ones from their team. The old system in my opinion was 1 sided most of the time and people just quit all together.

From what I read in the patch the new system does it best to balance teams but if there is little balance it goes to the best possible matchup it can do based on different parameters so we don't get endless que times waiting for equally skill players to que for the same match. Sorry kinda mixed some other thread with this one and my answered wasnt for this one but regardless it kinda of applies too.Can't control quitters unless you give some penalty but I don't know if giving a penalty help que times for the rest of us in the long run.

Or maybe you can make a pvp guide for new pvpers , this toxic mentality is what give us slow *** ques in pvp in the long term because the good pvpers dont want to even give good advice to new ones. I admit I am not a good pvper , I used to be good( not great but I could hold my own) now I am trying to figure out how to get gear for my guardian and be of help to the team so far I guess tanking instead of dpsing is better for the team since I dont seem to do much dmg in vigilance ( have to mention I been gone for a year almost give or take and now I am trying to get tier 2 gear 132 and up? and work my way from there) it takes time and pvp helps with the farming of UC but what do you want people like me to do? or new pvpers? to stay in regular forever? So far I been trying rank and while I am always the suckiest as a really bad geared tank/skank pvper I can at least help with guard and won some and lost others.The ones I won other teammates helped by giving advice and setting a strategy before the start of the match the ones that we lost the teamates mostly have been toxic or always said something negative. Make a guide or help in game.It will help us all believe me.More pvpers means faster ques and eventually better teammates if you help them.Alienate them from the start and see the game slowly dying specially the pvp.

Glad to be back , need some good and proper Star War fix with good storytelling , thanks for the info!.

Thanks!

Thank you for the info!

Was fishing for advice because I felt a little too lost in pvp now compared to other times I got a break and came back to the game but in retrospect maybe I just need more time in game to get back into things before coming to QQ here.It has been my longest break from the game so far so that must be it too.

Thank you , probably will try to get more time into the game and farm stuff to see. Still weird that I dont see a lot of juggs or knights in the matches but yeah bad matchmaking I guess plus me being rusty. Will check sticky and see.

Been doing some matches and from I see in the numbers is that if there are any knights on the team they do extremely low compared to Sorcs which are like half the enemy team most of the time.So I guess I should jump into a consular and check if I do better.

So anyone that can help me get up to date in pvp? So far I am seeing that as Vigilance Knight the class is sucking really badly and I would say its lack of gear or rusty player but my gear isnt that bad and I noticed there are not many knights or juggs playing in pvp ....all I am seeing are lots of Sorcs and healers and some agents/smuggl here and there. So does this means Vigilance or knights are sucking atm and other classes are the flavor of the moment pvp op classes? because I dont seem to be able to do **** against a sorc or healers atm. Before I could at least survive long enough as a guardian or do enough dmg as vigilance to make a difference but now the class seems like **** unless I am with a bunch of Consulars and/or healers on my team. Should healers be this op in pvp? seems like they are too damn hard to kill or to keep stun and if I try to ignore the healers and focus on dps ,between the heals and shields and bubbles is just stupid. So if anyone has any good advice for knights or some place I can go read for a pvp guide , I would appreciate it. Hate being forced into another class to enjoy pvp because of the flavor of the month class ****.

So between Vigilance and Defense which one is doing better on PVP and brings more to the team? I used to love tanking but a while back I changed to Vigilance because back then it was performing very well and killing a lot of stuff and I hate being the only one focusing targets while the team doesnt know what to do so I changed to dps.Thing is I havent been in the game for about a year and a half or a bit more and just subbed today again. Played some as Vigilance in pvp but didnt do much against a bunch of sorcs and healers. Just want to know how pvp is today and where I need to go from here with my Guardian.

Been trying to find a website or thread that lets me know but Noxxic has nothing on def rating numbers and Dulfy says over 1k defense rating , is that 1360 the real number? and is it a min? or is that the goal AFTER getting all 192 gear?
