Valor means only that some one spent their time in warzone. Was teamed with alor 70 guy in rakata grade gear with no augments, who got beaten in top dps by my tank valor 54, with me mostly guarding my (not mine as my guildy, just a promising merc healer who placed kolto shell on me) healer and stopping caps, pulling and slowing.. and no, he wasn't lone defender either nor he had many deaths. win/lose is safer option, when you consider bads who drag their team down, they almost always lose while you win more often then them while 'uber premades' win rating will be high... I often pity people who yell at fleet 'reps/imps sucks, I loose 95% of my games, my team sucks' (double o intended), they must be terrible to drag down every single team...

wow. just wow. 3 seconds in full 69 gear? I tank this flashpoint very often on my healer (lol) , he had to be really really bad. L55 dps in tank SPEC even with no tank gear (but dps 69s augmented) should be fine. unless you know.. stupid.

wouldn't call it newb. question is a question, as far as it seeks knowledge, it's neither newb, noob or stupid. might be silly question, but as far as one accepts answear, it's not any of those 3 above.

in tank eyes, that might be right. in few scenarios where boss will be forced to attack you instead of anyone else. But 2 seconds after you use enraged defense, you lose aggro and he no longer hits you - no more heals from hits, and some one else is to heal (probably dps) who needs more healing then you. yes, taunt, another 6 seconds he's on you, a taunt that could be used on next target switch is blown cause tank decided to use enraged defense. there are few places where you would turn it on just to neutralize one big hit incoming and then click it off, but reflect is much better for that. by all means, it's a great utility - for dps jugg specced into it (both trees has their bonuses for it) and for tank being focused in PVP. but that's off topic. please give us atleast 6-8 % into shield chance... take the flamethower if you must... all that buffs to absorb are being not used with low shield chance

indeed, with population focused on only couple of servers, x-server and matchaking should be implemented at same time, however, I do belive that matchaking it self will work even on low pops with no x-server with balancing pros with newbs (so teams are more or less equal) or splitting newbs from pros, with few exclusions of unlikely scenario (like 8 crap players on imp and 8 super pro players on rep), on which nothing would really work and would result as no match for any one.

if you find a niche it can be cost effective. that's the whole point, best money are not being made on mass productions (I mean it is, when you make 1000 of item). So either make a ton or make smart. no risk no gain - if it would be easy, every one would do it. yeah, I am narrow minded for telling others to do something more then they already do if they want to make money, I'm guilty. that is my problem really... you (generally people in this thread, not literally you) keep telling me that mk-9 kits and fancy purple augments cots a lot of moneyz, well, I keep telling them - make them your self. it's cheaper. that is being ignored and I keep hearing 'but we want money through PvP means ONLY.' and the whole conversation is pointless. we had a good one with cycao earlier about extra daily, but it was lost in a wave of /signed and 'biofail hates us pvpers whine'

I find it funny that people gave away lots of ways to make credits, but some are still saying 'i don't want to work with my brain for money, me like no think, me want credits to come' you can do crafting while doing pvp, you can do GTN between matches, you can think when you wait for respawn (doors to open or speeder to pilot down)... buying adrenals while you collect comms for gear? spending money on visual while saving money for augments/kits (that can be crafted easly - one way to make money is to sell these to lazy people)? you want to have cookie, eat cookie and not pay for the cookie... think that's how 'reccession' was born.

you won't be able to travel there with rep char, only doable by making imp alt question irrelevant

but you need to know how to play to achieve that. most people lack that ability. They choose to camp a node to get that medals (as they can't otherwise), and in the mean time, they complain about premades and whack some whine posts on the forums.

after all I went with http://www.desktopas.com/files/2013/06/Mars-Wallpaper-1920-x-1200.jpg feels so close home

not really. if person declines, he has to que over again. while other 3 are on the top of a list, so if tank declined, 2 dps and a healer just wait for first tank that comes by. it doesnt suck, you can't force a player to accept, and declines happen mostly when person selected wrong spec. it's better for them to decline, then to play a role of tank while they being DPS.

they didn't remove you. one player declined joining in, so you are a first healer in group finder. once you press ready, you can't decline any more, that is correct.

from the begining, as I thought we lost our way here. did you see 'teleport to instance' window or just 'team ready/cancel' one. no one is controlling group finder.

I think you can replace word 'pvp'ers' with 'people' look at LI HM. at first, people complained it was to hard. then they complained it was to easy now its super easy and at same time, ones are complaining it's stupid easy, while other that it's to hard as they wipe. on topic. win/lose is great idea. unfortunatly, all good arguments are dying with flame of flame...

well, if you got a pop and before porting in, you weren't kicked, one person refused to join in. could be dps accidentally qued as tank, or tank who qued in wrong place.

item specific. so 6 items can be PVP stuff and other 8 pve, and those 8 will get bolstered properly.

sorry. rebind A and D to starfe instead of turn and turn with your mouse , try shift + 1,2,3,4,5,6 Q,E,R,T,Y,F,G,H,\,Z,X,C,V shift+Q,E,R mouse left/right scroll button if have those. etc. there is a whole thread about it, alot of people scold back peddaling and say 'only noobs go back with S', but I preffer to have 'move back' button where it was since I started playing computer games.

don't ut partial expertiese. ever. if you put enhacment or armoring with expertiese, other parts are not being bolstered any more. no expertiese, or full expertiese (in one item). issue:weapon pve but expertiese crystal - weapon is not being bolstered not issue: one item (weapon) full pvp item, off hand pve (no expertiese) item - weapon is not being bolstered but off hand is. it's hard to lock on of what you actually trying to ask.

settings, keybinds->toolbars scrol down and bind.

yup. pvp gear > pve gear. do not hesitate, you can feel the difference.

specially that while being LS knight

force lift works for 8 seconds on player and will break on damage. if you are healer, don't bother with damage, just with crowd control (like slow them + sprint other way, force way (spec that for root if you can). If you are damage specced, all you can do is make more damage and kite him (unless you break Line of Sight -LoS- then you can heal while he comes at you), you won't out heal dps (unless he is baaaad - but then you should out dps him) - if you want to heal, force lift + heal your self (and move away in betweens). you can unlock total 6 skill bars, in settings and gui manager.

Agreed, will try. But I have good heart, and they seem hungry

are you refering to me, or at me? I'll assume to me

only when, and only if you can lock out players from playing stupid. for example, if we have 2 defenders who got ninjad by a tank jugg, we should be able to give them acount wide 'stupid lockout timer' for let's say, 12 hours.
