Gear resets are common practice with major patches in MMOs. You would think at this point people would accept the inevitability that eventually all that 'hard work' won't matter anymore and they won't get to be special.

Bioware managed to destroy the PVP in this game with one fell swoop. That coupled with pulling rated WZs just hours before the patch caused me to unsub. I hate to say it but it's pretty clear at this point Bioware has no clue what the hell they are doing.

Imperial teams on my server are still at least 60-70% Sorcs and Assassins every game. I rerolled Republic specifically for this reason.

Your opinion of course. I couldn't disagree more.

Bravo Taugrim, great read. You capture the thoughts of the majority of the PVP community perfectly.

Couldn't agree more.

I think it's great the abuse healers are taking in warzones now. No more laughing at a solo dps trying to kill you, either get peels or get your face smashed. Overpowered healing is too faceroll in objective based pvp like swtor has, where simply being annoying and staying alive to break up caps is much more important then killing people.

Hey look, it's the "I'm the only one trying and everyone else sucks." guy. Every warzone has one.

I agree. Full BM geared Guardian here in full tanking spec, and still can get burnt down by 2 dps in 3 seconds. With that kind of survability might as well go dps and have the damage to show for it.

Not sure where you are coming from. Seems like every warzone I've been in as soon as I encounter my first group of enemies the medals start popping like a pinball machine. It's actually pretty funny.

PvP was Battlefield 3 now it's MW3. Yes I went there.

I've ran up to the ball in the opening of a Hutball match, throw out an aoe taunt, a force sweep and a few attacks you're already up to 4-5 medals. It's pretty stupid.

I thought the same thing unfortunately. This is by far the biggest patch this game has seen since it released. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it breaks the game for a solid day.

Pretty sad when people ask for trolling then get upset when they don't get it.

I have my merc and wz commendations both capped assuming i'll log on tomorrow to see that i have 2000 warzone commendations. Couldn't tell you for sure if that's what will happen though.

MVP votes on my server usually go to top damage. I typically vote for top heals, but I'll often vote for a player that does the unappreciated things, such as babysitting a node, peeling for a cap, etc..

I enjoy them all but Huttball is my favorite because it requires the most coordinated team play. Civil War favors the defending nodes too much and Void Star is based too much on the lucky timing of spawns.

Someone else can probably give a better answer then me. I just hit 50 a couple days back and just made sure I had my WZ and Mercenary commendations capped when I dinged.

It's actually nice not having your ops chat flooded with 'You guys suck" at the end of every loss. Once cross server warzones are introduced I expect this to change.

Prepare to be cannon fodder until you grind out some gear, although in 1.2 you are going to be able to purchase a starter gear set with credits I believe.

I love taking on that nuisance role in a Warzone. My main is a tank specced guardian and I love just being a complete diversion for most players. My favorite thing to do is drop down into the pit in Huttball when I'm low health and watch 2-3 players drop down as well to kill me, then just pop all my cooldowns and just stall while the rest of my team easily scores.

I had this exact situation happen while our team was on offense in void star. We just got through the first door and I ended up in a 1v2 against both Imperial healers in the first room. Funny thing is it ended up being basically a total standoff, but our team proceeded to tear through the next two doors because the idiots were so preoccupied with me. Even though killing a healer or two might be a futile effort, it often causes good things to happen.

Most I've ever gotten was 4 or so. Really it's just complete luck. I've had plenty of WZs where I played extremely well basically carrying a team and didn't receive a single vote. On the flip side I've taken a level 10 gunslinger into a WZ and basically charge burst spammed to 3 or 4 votes.

Most people shy away from world PVP unless the combat is completely on their terms with odds overwhelmingly in their favor. While leveling up the few times I ever ran into any PVP I was opened on by a stealther while already fighting quest mobs and at half health or lower, and usually was killed. The few times I was able to fight them off the player just vanished and I never saw him again. I've literally never been attacked by a non stealth class in open world pvp which really isn't surprising. Unfortunately most people aren't looking for a good fight, just the cheap kill.

I stay for competitive games, but on my server it's generally one side steam rolling the other, and it's obvious in the first 30 seconds who is going to win. Any time I see our defense let a door get planted in the first few seconds or go down 2-0 right away in Huttball, I'm out.
