OMG that like is hilarious! So true too.

Bumped for support. Great post OP.

Great post OP. Probably the best I've seen so far, and I have seen a lot of them since Beta. Thanks and sticky please.

Sounds like how it was in Beta, and one thing that drew me to this game. Maybe I will reroll because it may be more fun.

First off OP, the post you copy/pasted is poorly written. Spelling, grammar, and capitalization issues are everywhere, making it hard to read. I am not a grammar Nazi, nor am I a professional writer, but well written the post is not, so please use discretion when creating a topic for the community. Secondly, the solutions to the issues posted are very sophomoric, as anyone who has taken a basic Psychology course could tell you that most of the solutions posted by the Author won't work simply because they go against human nature. I'm not going to go line by line with rebuttals, because it would just be easier for you to educate yourself. There is some good in there, but it isn't anything we haven't seen on these forums before. Thirdly, the post fails to address the game-breaking lag when in groups on abilities. This alone is enough to kill PvP and PvE in some cases. Small PvP groups shouldn't be like the Orgrimmar Auction House in Vanilla WoW. Why not make the Republic more interesting so people want to play it? Why is the Hutt Cartel not a playable third faction? Poor design choices made to follow the leader instead of becoming one. Lastly, I'm posting in hopes Bioware and Mythic fix PvP, but it probably beyond salvation. They never fixed PvP or faction imbalance in Warhammer. There are so many issues, known for so long, and Bioware refuses to fix them in a timely manner.

I agree for the reasons you state, but also for more balanced PvP. While I like PvPing against my server, cross server PvP is necessary, unfortunately.

Yes, they post future changes to PvP as well as the game in general in the Developers Forum.

I'll tell you what they say in every online multiplayer game, because they all have leavers. Group up with friends if you don't want leavers. It's dumb, it sucks, and it really is the only solution, because peoples time will always be more valuable to them then playing a game which you know you will lose. Or they could address unbalanced teams. No, wait, that never happens. Yeah, looks like you're going to have to group up.

I picked Horde in WoW and Republic in SWTOR. Somehow I always pick the minority faction. Still, while outnumbered, it showed in Tol Barad and other warzones who the better faction is. I think in the future we will catch up and have more geared 50's per match, leading to a lot more wins than losses and a lot of QQ from the Empire about having trash teammates. They will have the problem of a greater influx of fresh 50's giving us an edge, eventually. Be patient:D.

I saw a guys doing this one time time. Neither of us could hit each other, but he was invincible to everyone so he'd get low on hp and jump on there to heal, rinse and repeat. Glad they are fixing it.

This game has been in development for 6 years. That said, it still needs a lot of work, and I don't see any developer besides maybe Rockstar make a game with this much story, because it obviously took away money from the programming department.

I currently skip the mobs to a quest because they are designed poorly. Fight packs and packs to get to the room you need to go for a quest, then fight them all over again on the way out? No thanks, and my quick travel timer isn't always off cooldown. Not to mention being instantly (well there is some server lag) thrown off my mount by every single mob, which overpopulate roads. We need better ways to enter and exit quest areas Bioware.

Quoted for truth. Repairs are painful enough, thanks for nothing Bioware.

I want high res textures or at least medium res textures when viewing armor on your character in the dressing room. Can we get weapons in the dressing room too please Stephen.

Great post. We need more level headed PvPers like yourself on these forums.

Couldn't watch due to distracting music. Can you please make a music free version with some narration?

I have stopped PvPing altogether on my server during peak times. You can get your win when the lowbies are offline. You think 1 out of 3 cannons is bad? I had the same Sith premade over and over a couple nights ago. They had all 3 turret on Alderaan and pushed us into our base. 6-0 Hutball. Voidstar data core taken in 2 min and pushed back into our base on offense. I should have pick Sith like I picked the Horde in WoW. I didn't think all the Alliance kids would be on this game as Republic. I thought they would choose Empire. Sigh, time to reroll.

It was designed by the people who made Warhammer Online's PvP. Since I have played Warhammer, I can tell you it is very easy to see the same design almost copy/pasted from that game. The sad thing is that Bioware chose to hire the designers of a bad PvP system, knowing in advance what they were going to do. Warhammers PvP sucking is part of the reason I didn't resubscribe in that game. Thankfully for SWTOR, its PvE is better than WARs is.

I want Bioware to make sure that each stun/snare/root ect. is functioning correctly with the resolve bar. I've seen it posted that Electrocute bypasses a full resolve bar.

Speaking of which, I have yet to see any players on my server try to interrupt my Telekinetic Throw with anything other than hard stuns. Anyways we are extremely squishy when focus fired, but one on one I can beat just about anyone unless it is a fully PvP geared 50.

T7 sucks, even with the greens they give you. I had to help my brother complete this quest and I got ***** by his illusions while my brother took down the main guy. A close fight, even with 2 people. T7 has been bad for ages and Jedi Knights are still forced to use him just because of R2-D2 and Luke taking out the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.

It will in the future, believe it. Go back to Second Life.

No, there is a progression system. If you are in over your head, like so many were in the beginning of Cata, you deserve to be kicked because you ruining others experience. Thank goodness Blizzard implemented a minimum item level, so people would know if they could complete a dungeon before everyone wasted their time. That said, Recount and other DPS meters are great to figure out min/maxing for me, and I would love to see them and many other add-ons in the game.

Oh god, please no, the next thing will be the underground zombies looting crafting nodes over and over again. Bioware cut it off before it gets out of control, please.

I like that term, PvP Jock. It might sit better than elitist or loser without a life. That being said I agree with all your points except that you deserve the exact same amount of satisfaction. Bioware could never give you or any number of parties this because it is relative to you. Everyone will be satisfied/dissatisfied with any number of things at any one time. Great post though.
