i believe what most people are complaining/annoyed about is the fact that an operator can stunlock kill them out of stealth from full health Now what makes this more noticeable in comparison to other games is that with this game having only 1 ability to break from all the different CC that is available, there is generally nothing you can do to try and save yourself which pisses people off Also one thing i noticed on here is that the people saying its 'easy' to counter/kill an operator are juggernauts/guardians, this could be simple that you are the operators counter class

i can confirm this and even up it by saying that the smuggler battle rez would bug at the same time that mine was. Had this in both EV and KP where someone died during a boss fight, we didnt have the debuff and neither of us could rez them; we could visible see their body and within range were we should have been able to battle rez

I agree with the OP here. if you are too stupid enough to spam "Need Heals" but instead make people play how you see fit, you arent going anywhere in this game...... Personally I am a healer and have been since lvl 10, but i would NEVER let some pompus dipweed tell me how i have to play cause its "their group". Yeah sages CAN heal doesnt mean we have to or want to, if you think otherwise i dont see you ever making it in the real game, go ahead and play your 25 alts that are under 20 and stay away from the rest of us because you will get laughed out at the higher levels if you try and pull this crap.

Yes sages can do this and NO sages cant put up numbers like that doing just that alone. personally i will do this to get medals when im left alone at a point by idiot dps who think they are more useful to a group then the healer that helped them take the point...... One game i had around 200k healing and there was 150ish points left in Civil War and doing it for all those points i could not push myself over the 300k mark ( sith stopped playing on us ). As pointed out earlier its really slow compared to what i can get by healing 2-3 other people taking dmg in a group fight

As a main spec healer I actually have 3 sets: pve healing, pve dps (for when im bored) and my pvp set While probably add a 4th for pvp dps when I have either doubles from bags or run out of things to buy with comms no gear in your bag doesnt lose dur when you die otherwise my dps set be ****ed up obvious reason I have a different healin and dps set is no accuracy on the healing and I use a lot more power though some pieces do overlap since I do hsve straight crit/surge gear in the healing set Also pve gear in pvp will get you ****ed up and while pvp gear is a good buffer for raising your gear for pve the pve equivalent is better

If you have upgraded you gear to 50 you should be decent (kinda hard if both dps are only in lvl 50 blues and have the 49 blue mods and such) If you have all lvl 50 and some artifact gear (swtor epics) from crafting/pvp your gold

You either bought/made a bunch of lvl 50 artifact gear and/or had pvp gear or your other group members were geared if you didnt have trouble with HMs other then bugs I have still hit enrage timers on HK and bulwark in groups where they are clearing most if not all bosses in HM OPSs (lol we dont wipe just killed them right after the enrage hits)

If your guild is clearing HMs do HM ops Also for others reading, if you are looking for what HM to do it depends on who in your group is geared: If tank/healer are geared do kaon without the bonus since there are no fast enrage times, trying to remember but I dont think ilum does either (skip the boss after the mine, you can walk around him if you corner hug) If your dps are geared esseles and Taral V are the best to hit up The hardest I would say are false emp and D7 for Rep due to the quick enrages of bulwark and HK also the mentor fight is a real pain for healers to heal due to generally pulling aggro on that crane laser crap I have yet to do maelstrom but hear it isnt bad mostly like Kaon where its knowing the fights over gear

<3 someone else who actually PLAYED WoW and not this new age crap of cata players who think they know everything...... people concintrate on what they think looks the coolest and most fun, great example look at the original WoW trailer, which looks cooler to play horde or allaince: Alliance and there was an unbalanced ratio in favor of the allaince. Most people dont 'try out' multiple chars on both sides to see what they like best till later, they stick with 1-2 chars who they think will be fun from what they see also gonna bounce this to some other points: 1) who ever mentioned that gear ISNT the issue right now you are full of some big ****. yes once we all have pvp gear there isnt much an issue but when 1 side is full of people in more pvp gear then the other in this game that IS THE ISSUE! Let me explain to you how expertise works: the more of it you have the harder you hit and the less dmg you take. so if you have more gear then me you have increased dmg output and what dmg i should be doing to you is now reduced. as you get more exp faster then me this gap increases even more. how this happens/ed is because more sith got geared up prior to 1.1 since, yes, there were more sith 50s so the imblance started there and leads to point #2 2) if you are winning games you are probably getting 100+ commidations (or atleast i was before 1.1), now when i win maybe 2-3 games a day out of 10+ im only getting 500-600 commidations a day, so im not finishing my dailies since ilum is a ****fest for Rep (lost 2 bags there about every other day not counting the ones from commidations). Welcome to the reduction in the amount of gear i can get compared to an Imp who hit 50 at the same time as me. and this leads to #3 3) frustration of Rep pvpers, there have been many times i quit pvping cause i just spent 2-3 hours without a single win..... go do that and tell me if you are having fun and want to continue pvping which is the only way to help myself in pvp solution for pvp: give us any way to help fill the gap of not having ANY expertise to those with a lot so it can be fair with the side inbalance, you fix the WZ ilum wont really matter at such an early stage in the game

/agree with an idea like this if you want to balance out the factions you need to make it so the Rep is as fun and cool looking as the sith characters are. i would also add: - redo some animations so they look better - redo or introduce different armors, im sorta annoyed that i only have cloaks, generally brown, as a sage - rename troopers so they dont sound like cannon fodder; make it so they are an elite group, such as we have in the amry/navy/marines

I use consulars last companion (who i dont want to name for spoiler reasons), its a dps comp but i find them easiest to gear up and also even when i do have to heal them they are killing stuff faster than Qyzen. I have tried to kill some high lvl champion mobs in Voss with both and have gotten to the same point with either. They make the normal trash you are killing to lvl die a lot faster so you are moving at a faster rate and on elite mobs you can just heal them through and they will kill the mob by themselves. Also i noticed that compared to Qyzen they had a better time soloing strong mobs when needed.

.................................. someone cant read the joke. I know you cant pad your numbers that high and thats not how i hit 400k

lol now the question is, is that all from healing during fights or are you padding your numbers by sacking your health and healing back up i have hit around 400k myself but only in games where spys arent using me as a pin cushion. It gets harder once people reconize you as the healer, ill get a ss next time i get a good game

I agree with this, thier customer support is a LOT less then in any other mmo I have played (WoW, Aion, Rift and a couple others for a short time). there is a lot less communication on forums; their in-game help is horrible, i had an issue where i was kicked off the ledge in teh final boss fight of Red Reaper right before he died, my group finished it and clicked the consoule before i got back in and i didnt get credit for the FP. when i reported this in a ticket all i got was the automated response that they use when we report a bug, not even a dev coming to say "sorry but there is nothing we can do," made me feel like im not even a customer at that point just a lump of cash to them, if an issue like that doesnt even get a human response.

i have to say almost everything you said was wrong..... your first para: allaince out numbered the horde and were favored a $%&& of a lot more both by players and even the game design in early WoW. and yes Blizz changed a buttload since the beginning to try and balance everything out over factions and classes. case and point racials have been tweeked multiple times and Blizz gave everyone the same classes to balance out both pvp and pve. Horde never really appealed to players till later on, they were actually like the jedi in the fact that they were underdogs in the begining of WoW/end of WC3 with fewer in number and Thrall was trying to rebuild his people after escaping the grasp of the Legion. I could go on but i feel like most people dont want to see a para of lore comparision. This also applies to the comparision between Horde and Sith...... while actually the allaince was the ones who wanted to wipe the horde out even though they tried to make peace. Gonna end my rant here and go on to what the problem comes down to: The reason the majority of people choose Allaince, Sith, ect ect right away is all about looks. Who looks the best, has the best animations, seems like the coolest to play at the time. With this game you have an even extra push towards this since people LOVE force lightning (and yes that is what the 12yrs play, not the jedi). also the Trooper class for Rep has almost no real appeal off the bat since when you think of a trooper its all cannon fooder and no real hero class just normal army troops. While all the other classes are individual and they are always protraited as being few but strong and stand out. Solution: Take a look back at the Rep animations, gear, ect and see what the art team can come up with to make them more appealing (look cooler) to the masses and SHOW IT!!! in almost all the previews the jedi are all wearing the brown robes and that is it, no real look of customization like the sith have shown. Personally i think the Trooper class needs to be renamed to something more promising, such as an elite squad name like the NAVY Seals and Green Berets to give it a better feel then just cannon fooder for the jedi.

Yeah i have had this bug too. I have also a problem where i load in and the timer has started before i am able to even play

your obviously Rep and not a healer.... I QUIT healing for the Rep cause i was pissed off that 1 sith could kill me while spamming heals on myself it might just be the gear imbalance but its not fun to heal as a Rep right now cause you can just get *****. In almost every WZ if i wasnt playing D at a node that wasnt getting smashed i was almost always the top in deaths and before you go off saying "your a baddy" and such crap, when i get 4k crit from an Imp agent from stealth then stunned im usually dead before i can even get my sage bubble off

not sure if this got mentioned or not since i only got to about page 5 before getting annoyed seeing the same thing pop up but it shows that you guys never played early WoW...... Horde was outnumbered by almost a 2:1 ratio till around late BC/Wrath.... I completely agree with the original post, need to do something to help out the Rep in the numbers area in pvp areas and also warzones now. There is a great post in the consular forums which i would think would also help the Rep, which was redo some of the skill animations to better looking/more exciting animations.

the problem is the gear issue, when there was a lvl 50 bracket Rep could win when we went up against the lower lvl Imps and this would help us gear up. Now that there is a lvl 50 bracket we are facing the almost fully geared out Imps who can complete their dailies and weeklys a &%^$ LOT easier then us, so they are getting more commidations and bags which gives the gear. Over the past 2 days since the lvl 50 bracket has been impelmented i have won 2, yes that number is correct 2, warzones. I was 50 a week before the bracket change, so i was able to get the 6 bags when i hit 50 and also 4-5 more after, which gave me 2 implant pieces only. SINCE the change, i have gotten 2 bags, 1 from the commidations of loseing 20+ games and from doing the Ilum daily for 4 hours going against the wall of Imps and *********** groups of 4 stealthies sitting outside the rep base ganking us. What they need to do is some how help the rep get geared up better if you want PvP to even start being remotely playable. WoW got this right since they didnt make resistance such as BIG difference when you first hit max lvl by making the lower rank sets have some but not enough to make it OP against non-pvp geared people who are trying to gear up.
