Well i enjoy Carnage but i do die alot, like i said am not a noob, but when a trooper gets hold of me its, zap, zap dead or Zap, zap runaway !!!!!!!! I seem on the forums here, that Marauders are underpowered & overpowered, and so on and so on, I enjoy the class, but dieing 10 times in a Wz is a bit much, but tbh i found if i just dealt with killin people and winning the wz then i got more kills and higher dps tho i die a LOT more, 1/2 my time was spent running away to heal : / So i have to ask is it a L2P problem or a class or spec problem ???

Ok I have a lvl 50 assassin in full cent gear so am not a total noob at pvp, but i just didn't like the play style so i made a marauder, now i did some research before hand and decided on picking the Annihilation Tree. Day 3 of my pvp experience i was told that Annihilation was for pve and that i should change ( i wasn't really enjoying the style away so no biggy ) Now as i like both PvP and pve I went Carnage and lvled to 43 doing ok coming top in kills most of the time but getting middle DPS, but getting a lot of deaths, overall I enjoy the spec. Now I got raged on when a team mate asked me my spec, When i said Carnage I got told only noobs play Carnage and i should L2P I was confused as i toped the kills again and 2nd in Dps but as normal i died about 10 times So in a effort to lurn the class i respected to Rage and again it wasn't long before i was feelin the heat, being called a abuser and marauders needed nurfin, the only thing is i have no idea what he / she was talking about So now once again am back to working out what spec i should be I dont really like Annihilation, Carnage for me is the most fun, but I seem to lack any real survivability, and as for rage well all i did for the 2 wz i played was get raged on So, the main question i need to ask is what is the pvp & pve spec for a marauder that is good at both, but wont get me raged on if i die 15 times a wz or people accuse me of abuse, and can someone please tell me what the hell i was abusing coz i ant got a friggin clue I really need help on this one guys coz lvl 50 is coming fast

First off this is not a QQ topic but one am hoping will open some peoples eyes ( looks at BW ) First of theres 3 types of medal farmers, people who like getting them for a job well done, people who just want the ego boost and, point farmers like myself. Now Am lvl 42 I wanna get the best valor & points I can so i can buy pvp bags to gear up in pvp, now we all know going from new lvl 50 pvp player to full champ or cent gear is a pain in the back side, your targeted right from the start and your a easy target and drop in 5 secs flat, theres nothing at the moment we can do about it. Now add in your a marauder you have your work cut out for you so you need the best points you can get, now on my server ( low pop ) Ilum is dead, max people i see there is about 13 most of them, if not all are imps, so I cant use Ilum to get valor so I do the next best thing Valor farming In WZ I get the Ilum Boost & use water for medals ( before patch ) Now due to the water nurf tho i can run back and forth to get it, I lose some badly needed medals. But the medal problem wouldnt be such a big deal if there wasn't such a big gap in starting lvl 50 pvp and end game pvp, the time it now takes ( with the bag changes ) Will mean I have pvp my little brains out to get gear to stand toe to toe with other players. There really needs to be a fix not only for the medals and how they work so X class wont get more than X class but instead you get medals for skill not for spamming 1 or 2 keys, but there needs to be a fix on starting lvl 50 gear to end game 50 gear, am NOT asking for full BM after lvlin to 50 but something I can get that allows me to be useful in pvp after i ding. I can get about 15 bags, at max points and weekly and daily quests, it it wasnt for that water ( as i like pve as well ) I wouldnt get that much and I would have to work so much harder at 50 Pvp at 50 is a mile away from pvp at 49, so people try and fix it by getting the most points they can, and paying they get some item drops in the bags, So before hanging people like myself who do want the water to be changed understand why some of us want it, not to cheat not to get something we cant have, but to help stand on the same footing as other pvp players.

Its hard one to call, but for me ( lvl 42 ) whatever gives me the most points, thats all i want is to get to 50 and ( now with the bag changes ) be able to play pvp and not get my *** handed to me every time.

Tbh i think the water should only be used from 10-49 at 50 theres little or no point, before 50 then yes it should go back to how it was with a longer cool down. And yes I do feel DPS players are being punished this hurts us more than anyone else, even tho the water was open to anyone who wanted to get it.

Why do you think i use Stims and heal packs hahahah really tho, am not hating on healers, am pointing out the difference in medals and how they stack up, I dont care how many medals a healer gets AS LONG AS I get the same chance at getting them to, Its unfair to say X class should get more medals than X class, IF you play well and win a WZ you should get medals based on your performance not just becoz you can do something i cant or visa versa

No i dont think nurfing anything works, I think small changes are better than a wack a class, there things as marauder I have to deal with, but not being on fair standing with other classes when it comes to the effort i put in and get maby 5 medals when a healer can get everything i can and more, I not saying nurf any class am sayin is we need a better medal system.

I not happy with the nurf The deal here is simple, any healer who says they dont get the dps medals is full of it, all am really trying to point out is the medal system is bad, the water needed a nurf yes, but it should have been done better. Healers getting the DPS medals and healer medals for doing very little and i have to work my *** off to get 5 is just frustrating, when am grinding valor and tokens, medals help. The medal system needs to be fixed so its fair for every class, just becoz i cant heal myself dosnt mean I should get less medals than someone standing at a point spaming heals and lightning, theres no skill in that.

My healin buddy gets the dps medals every WZ and the healin medals, yet i cant get the heal medals o_0 it dont work. If healers are meant to heal then they shouldn't get the DPS medals, but due to the fact I like mele I cant get healer medals ? how is that fair its not. The water leveled it up QQ got it nerfed now I cant get the medals but a bounty hunter can get 2.5k medal at lvl 29 ( i know i get it on my alt ) Healers have the best of everything at the moment its silly

Ok am playing a marauder Carnage spec, I dont have any self heals apart from stims & med packs, the only way for me to get the 2.5k healer medal & 5k healer medal was by using Pure shockfrozen water, now its pointless. Healer classes and some ranged classes can get the DPS medals easy AND there healing medals, QQ said it was being abused and i agree it was, but theres goto be a better fix than this ???. How about bioware remove all healer damage and have something that lets them get the medals by messing about for 10 mins and then once you use it you have to mess around for another 10 mins to get it again, the pvp forum would be so full of rage its untrue. How about a better fix that lets DPS classes get there healer medals, have a cool down on it so you can only use it once per WZ that way you cant abuse it but none healing classes can still have the same chance at medals then the rest of the other classes, healers have it to good at the moment its crazy. Or better yet remove the medal system, have a fixed rate of commendations and valor points for a win / loss and be done with it, that way you cant abuse anything

As a pvp player in more than one mmo I find the war zones to be fun but hutball is getting boring fast, everyone knows theres a lack of republic players so how do we fix this ? well bioware cant force people to play republic, and its down to the player what toon he rolls so, to fix this we need better access to more republic players. Bioware said they dont want / like the idea of cross servers as they ruin the community, but for pvp the only real community is the guild your in, so in most cases this argument is mute, having cross servers for pvp will open up more pvp players empire and republic alike, ok you will still have a hutbal fest every now and then but it will be less than it is now. Now onto Ilum, Ilum was a good idea done bad on most servers Ilum is a disaster, now thinking about this a few problems come up. To many imperial players. Republic players dont go there. On less populated servers Ilum is a crate fest to get the best pvp gear So how do we make Ilum more fun and make players want to go there ? the only idea with out flaws I can think of is. Cross server Ilum, Have a Que time placed on the planet's pvp area, change the daily / weekly pvp quests to be picked up from the pve questing area and change the pvp vender's to Ilum. This will make pvp players go there A. to get there gear B. to do there daily / weekly quests To make getting the gear more fun, more pvp quests should be added in and remove the bag system, when you finish a quest you get tokens to spend at the venders, things like ganking wont happen and be a thing of the past, after the warzone is won all players are sent to the pve zone a short vid is added were a commander says yey we won or booo we lost, this way Ilum is a lot better republic players will go there and que times will be short and most important it will be fun. This is just a idea, please poke holes or add in your points of view

I Dont think thats true, yes they have made mistakes, but in truth we do need that blue set back, I mean really how do i even start pvping now ? I mean i might as well make a new toon get him to lvl 10 and just farm tokens till 50, that way i got a chance at something. Pvp is about pvp not farming, but to get the best gear I expect to work for it but at least give me something to work with pve gear in pvp is not a good idea in any shape or form

It seems odd that they did, I mean Ilum is a mess and now i have little to no hope of getting any gear, the grind is just to long, for someone who as 15 expertise.

Ok, I am a new pvp player i hit 50 and have 0 idea were and what pvp gear to get, now i see people in pvp gear and yes i get owned, so I have to ask myself how to get that gear ?, by getting bags by the bag full to get the item tokens thats how i understand it is this correct ? but from a pvp perspective this seems imposable or spending months doing pvp in the hopes of getting a win now that lvl 50 gets its own bracket everyone seems to have better gear then me so in a effort to find the middle ground heres a idea that should help new players like myself get some pvp gear but also mean I still need to put the time and effort in to get the best pvp gear. So what i think would work is " sets " of items for lvls 20,30,40 for people who wanna pvp from lvl 10 on, you get tokens from doing quests you can pick up in the fleet and doing pvp daily quests like we have now, this will make people work to having there pvp set but not make it to hard so people can just jump in after doing pve. Ok now when players turn 50 we can go to Ilum ( a hot topic at the moment ) but stay with me here, so at Ilum we could have a starting lvl 50 pvp gear a blue set, you get by questing and doing dailys so when we do go into pvp new players ( like me ) are not at such a disadvantage, but to get the purple gear we would still have to go about it as it is now.

It seems odd that your given a light side companion, I get you can pick to go light side, but am a sith as i understand the lore shouldn't she try and kill me on sight ?

I have a lvl 38 sith warrior and am loving the companions, Jaesa just rocks, so when i made a assassin i was really looking forward to some kick *** companions after reading over them I was confused with Ashara Zavros as i understand it shes a jedi ? now am a dark side sith isn't she meant to try and kill me, if a companion is Romance-able I wanna take it as far as i can as i like the story's, but this gal just dosnt work, now i admit i haven't got her yet, but surely she should fall to the dark side ? I dont know if companions should have dark side / light side points but if there jedi / sith surely they should have a change rather then sitting on 0 all the time
