After these "changes" I lost all hope in "combat team". Going to unsub, thankfully Blade&Soul is coming in a month

/signed on new content and cross server. Premades should stay.

I'm only writing this in hope it might get noticed and taken into consideration. Dear devs, Could you please be straightforward by telling us when and if are you going to roll out any actual content (PvP or PvE) and take care of class balance. There are dosens, if not hundreds threads that are getting ignored conpletely. It would be great if you do it in a oneliner even. For exmple: Class balance patch - Q1 2016 New Operation - Q3 2016 New warzone - Q4 2016 8v8 ranked and cross server - not planned, low priority. If you do it in such way, it would address all these threads and people would know what to expect in the future.

Dear Dev team if you're reading this: - I have returned @ kotfe launch to do story and PvP stuff. I gavrn' played since like q2 2012. - Story "content" lasted shorter than a Call of Duty singleplayer campaign. - After that I levelled 3 toons and got them dressed in full ranked PvP gear and finishing on my 4th toon at the moment. - And now I'm left with no content, as there's no ranked season. Solo ranked pops are very rare without cross-server feature. There's a ton of issues in class balance in particular and whole PvP design in general. I have no incentive to play at all only ONE month after I returned. I have been out of the game for 3 years only to see ONE month worth of content. Because PvP is as good as dead without cross-server or at least cross-faction ques. As far as I can see PvE is not better with no new ebdgane pve cobtent for over a year.

Funny thing if they nerf pt without nerfing sorc healing, people will just go on even more about "I cannot kill a healer". PTs right now is almost the only spec (theres also maras and sins to sime extent) being able to highly pressure a healer in reg wz. I'm not saying that PTs shouldn't be nerfed. I'm thinking if it's too hard to separate PvP fron PvE and do a proper PvP balance?

In order not to create a new topic: What spec would you advise for levelling and low level wz?

Thank you all for your answers. If I had to choose between jugg and mara for solo pvp play, what will be less stressful?

What would you advise as the most viable melee dps class/spec. It should be able to stay in your face, have good survivability and do decent damage. Sonething akin to warrior/dk in wow.

class balance and poor graphical engine performance. gearing is fine. create a lvl60, get 65 by doing wz and vois la, you have 2018 expertise.

Warhammer online had the best PvP I've seen to date. It had scale and castle sieges, it was fun. Guild Wars 2 had good pvp when I was playing it at launch. I'm considering to give it a try soon-ish

The gear gap in swtor right now is nowhere close to what it was in WoW back in the early seasons - you had to grind bgs for weeks to have some starting gear and then have high enough ranked rating to get BiS gear. It took a lot of time. In ToR you need around 8k (4k for 204, and 4k for 6 pieces of 208 that cannot be made adaptive) comms and 2-3 mil credits to get quite competitve gear. Its a very low entry point. Class balance is bad - that is the common issue with pvp. Totally unrelated question: what do you need to have, except gear and datacrons to min/max your stats?

Is there any?) Operatives seemed to have had a dot spec, but it was bad back in the day. Don't want to roll sorc fotm

OP, sorry to spoil all the fun, but was there any math and comparison involved, or you just usef your "gut feeling"?

Thank you all for your answers. You've been great and helpful. I'm stating again that I'm not defecting to empire. I'm transferring my main to Ebon Hawk as well as creating an empire toon.

I meant transferring them between characters of opposing factions. I got a set of sorc gear bought by mistake. And I have a spare augmented set of armor from cartel market. I'm wondering whether I can send them to my new character.
