[Replace Force Scream with Force Lightning / Lightning Blast ?]

I have no issue with force scream. I would like to suggest that a Ability be ADDED BACK to Smash.

Back in the days of Beta Testing, Juggs and Maras had Smash with kick back. Testers, But me, complained that it was to powerful. I thought it made sense i mean if you slam the ground so hard that it renders one unconscious, then that slam would also be powerful enough to push you back several feet landing you on your Butt.

 

I like to see that make a come back. Seems like all other classes can push your butt off of things left and right. This would give us Juggs and Maras a counter measure. And b4 you say *well you guys have force push* Well force push only affects one person and you have to target them, where the others can kick back any one in the effective area, This would be better then having lightning, or just be on a equal playing field. (yeah, i heard my self, Equal, right). But still.

 

Devs, Please consider this.

I disagree, smash is still very valuable, the fact that it hasn't knocked back since Beta is irrelevant. It can either sunder armor OR slow a target a ton IN ADDITION to the damage it does. All the other classes NEED an aoe pushback because they're not as strong as the jugg/guardian class. They need breathing room....a safe space between them and the jugg.

[Marking Targets in PvP 101]

I usually use target and star for marking healers, the cog and flame are somewhat hard to see behind a red tag. I've had my own teammates put the blue shield on me, which is silly in a way. To me, healers should be target, star, lightning bolt, if you HAVE to mark the top dps on the other team go green saber or orange gun. Same with their tank except use the shield...it is advantageous at times to burn the tank down first

[Why is so hard for community managers to update us on pvp concerns?]

At the moment Bioware is decreasing subscriptions because

PVP:

- all the bugs (group queue latency, stuck spots on rishi arena and odessen BG)

- 80% of all solo BGs = Odessen. That sucks.

- ridiculous class balance (sage/sorcs-plague)

that is wy many pvp players unsubscribed

 

PVE

- no new operation since 17 months !!! (release of ravagers + temple was december 2014 !!! )

- ridiculous loot system in the operations (NM = useless and highlighted hardmode with 224er-tokens for example ev+kp a raidgroup can clear it easy with 6 twinks, that is wy also many pve players unsubscribed )

- less communications about the bugs and time to fix it.

- tardily bugfixes

 

But Bioware thinks its all ok and we all are happy receiving this ugly HK-helmet...

 

I have never seen before a nonsens like this in another game.

 

This truly is the **** sundae, and the script hack everyone is complaining about is the cherry.

[For all the whiners....How large is the PvP player base?]

Since you're saying that you're just getting into pvp, im assuming you might not be aware of BW's trackrecord when it comes to breaking pvp -every- big update. This fact alone is enough to warrant frustration for players. How many pvpers there are shouldn't make any difference in wether or not they complain when BW -yet again- completly messes up their preffered gameplay.

 

..and they're taking their sweet *** time with their fix/apology/"gimmeurmoneyand****off" or what have you.

 

This is how bad it is right now...I'm in that small 5% that log on and immediately que for wzs until it's time to log off..literally every day I play. I've been on the forums more in the last 3 days than I ever have all the way back in beta...when the threads were about naming the consular a wizard or a sage!

[To all the people who say premades are ruining pvp ...]

I play tanks, and have mirror classes for each. I would usually play one side until seeing just how overpowered the side I was on at that time of day, and switch to the opposite. I moved to harbinger for more challenging "underdog" status.

 

Needless to say, I haven't played my imp toons for a week and a half now.

[HAX is myth???? BUT IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Wait whaaaat! famous speed hacker is crying because there is another hacker? EPIC

 

Owned.

[Why so many new Hack/cheat threads]

The last hit is what it records for your death not what happens before. So if it was a massive Crit follow by some low lvl ability that can sometimes look like a single hit. The floating txt is often wrong.

 

I got accused of hack yesterday because I triple Crit hit a healer on my Merc and killed them in about 3-5 secs. All 3 hits were over 20k. All up it was close to 68k damage.

That would have looked like a hack from the other end. But it was just pure luck on my side. I've never done that before, but I can double or triple Crit between 35-50k occasionally, but it's pretty rare.

 

The only sure way to see is to just activate your log for a few games if you see it often. Then you can check.

 

HaHa so YOU are the reasaon some chode wrote a complaint thread for nerfing merc/mandos.

[New WZ Pop rate needs to lay off the crack.]

It's pretty much like bioware is punishing us for ************ so much about new pvp content...so they threw this pile of **** at us knowing we'd hate it.

 

We all should have known something bad was around the corner when they made a separate keybar for huttball.

[Garbinger pubs and broken transfer]

To be honest it's my fault for leaving the server I was on because harbinger had way better que pops. I wanted my money's worth in warzone qs. It wasn't complete trash until season 7 started. There's nothing wrong with the server I was on...just didn't pop as much as I wanted.

 

Of course this is a true example of quality vs quantity...which is "NOT what she said":rolleyes:

[BW representative explains why Alliance Proving Grounds is popping so much]

This kind of comes off as a smart arse remark, translating

"look, we know about it, we know 90% of the community hates it, and we're tired of explaining it to you"

OR from that screenie you took, it could just as easily be this....

"oh you're the guy that bought a dye for 20 bucks and wants a free one by making up a story about deleting it, I got a story for you then"

 

I HOPE it's either reason and not a dude that doesn't even know the mechanics of the game. If THAT'S the case, this could be the beginning of the TRUE death of SWTOR.

[Garbinger pubs and broken transfer]

Harbinger is hands down the worst pvp server, with the absolute worst pub side. After 120 days of sifting through pvp guilds, group ranked, solo ranked, regs and pugs, 90% of this server sucks. Can't read ops chat, can't use teamspeak, can't play your own class (that most have played 65 levels of for 3 years). This is where Imperials go to win trade, and pubs go to cry about premades and quit warzones early.

 

What's even better...you can't leave this server at the moment. You're basically stuck here until devs reactivate character transfer....and we all know how diligent they are about fixing problems(cough"warzone que" cough)

 

If Harbinger represented the entire community. This game would die tomorrow.

[Arsenal Mercenary is completely overpowerd]

Time to bring this FOTM spec into the light. Warzones are now nothing but electronets, 4 mercs per team average most games with the rest being sorcs. This spec is totally over performing right now and it needs to be brought down to Marksmanship dps numbers. There is absolutely no reason Arsenal spec should be doing more dps than most DoT specs in sustained damage. Why has BW not nerfed the surge on this spec, down to 10% like all the other specs. Trying to play a melee spec while being killed by 7k ticks from electronet, and 8k ticks of blazing bolts is just ridiculous. Not to mention the other totally insane burst hits they have, capable of achieving well over 35k in 2 global cooldowns with crits from HSM and rail shot.

 

I know there is a ton of merc fan boys out there that are gonna be upset about this post, but I really think people have just been afraid to come out and say how OP arsenal spec is, because mercs were garbage for so long. There is currently nothing in the game that can burst like an arsenal merc, and almost nothing aside from marauder that can match its sustained dps. IO is supposed to be your high dps spec, currently we see NONE of them. Why? because arsenal is so OP its totally unreal. And don't even say that they have weak defensive cooldowns. Its way harder to kill an arsenal merc than it is a Sorc, don't kid yourself.

 

The only reason this spec is sliding by right now is because they are overshadowed by Sorc healers. But I assure you once sorc heals get neutered into uselessness arsenal is next in line.

 

This is by far one of the biggest cry baby posts in swtor history. Merc/Mando has never been op. You just suck or play a class that needs to be netted immediately. Get over it or get out of the wz que. Don't even try to argue because you know I'm right.

[ok, enough is enough, fix the queues group and solo]

It boggles the mind, but this issue is typical of BW and their history with PvP. They try to do good things for us, they really do. But every time they do something good, they screw something else up...not in a minor way, but in a gamebreaking way. It's just so disconcerting that it happens every...single...patch.

 

Shaking my head so much right now. They give us the best PvP update we've had in two years, and of course, they break the queues. It's just astonishing that this stuff continues to happen. Just don't know what to say anymore. The struggle is real.

 

I bet a million credits it's because they flipped the gtn mailbox around, and put mailboxes in the combat training and supplies sections.

[Stating players and groups at the beginning of a match.]

I truly am baffled at how many people (more over that there are any) complain about others grouping up as a team for pvp. I'm sorry that some people have friends who play this game and some don't. IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS AND GROUP WITH OTHER PEOPLE. Unless of course you suck, and people know it. Then, the responsibility is on you because regardless of premade or pug, your team has to carry you.

 

This game is too easy to even consider nerfing groups for goodness sake. The way the game is now, You could literally save up all your warzone comms on one character and be in full ranked at 65.

The people who actually make it more difficult are the ones who simply refuse to group up at all, take any direction (or *********** read ops chat) during a match, or even hop on teamspeak for some communication. 99.9999% games nowadays use teamspeak for necessary reasons, and SWTOR is one of them.

 

Why should anyone tell you that they're a premade? Should they tell you their strategy as well and what they're stats are?

 

You're basically asking people to suck like you do just to make things even.

[Galactic Starfighter Development, Introduction: Part I]

If they were hurting for money that badly then all they would "budget" would be the next operation, set of pvp and pve gear.... and another fugly vehicle. We've seen that "update" quite a few times.

[A Growing Concern: Where Do We Go From Here?]

We got the day reimbursed, no more qqing about the downtime.

Everyone is dissapointed about the ranking system, but there's no need to be a drama queen and start an uprising thread.

Op seriously comes off like the nubnut that keeps typing QQs in warzones. I bet he has alot of defense medals for sitting at left all game that he'd like to see in the rankings.

[The "this class is OP" Thread]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll fix that bug that allows bounty hunters/troopers to be killed.
