I dont know if they ever mentioned it before but i know in there latest Q and A they mentioned upcomming battlegroups. I know some people dont like this, alot of people complain that they want to have a familiarity with there kills and blah blah blah but honestly, i love the idea, alot more variaty of pvp'ers give me more of a chance to test my skill, and the larger que groups means less que time and less huttball.

does someone have a rolled up newspaper to beat this dog with? I bet you atleast half of your server is better then you. And you shouldent be able to 1 on 1 every class and win, every class has there own advantages and disadvantages for instance a sorc can own a knight because of range and cc. A true test of skill is you ability to pvp against a class that may have an advantage over you and still win. Which it sounds like your not doing at all otherwise you wouldent have made this post. Therefore you are not the best, infact I am probably better then you and i make no claim to any pvp greatness.

the people crying about this are the people who arent PVP'ing for the challange. They PVP because they have so much free time on there hand that lack of skill wont matter in how long it takes to get there gear cause there grinding it for 12+ hours a day. All so they can get the best gear so they can no skill facroll on new 50's and joke about how there noobs because they couldent damage you. While on the other hand anyone with decent gear and common sence will outplay them eveytime. Yes to these fools killing undergeared lvl 50's is the same to them as killing fully geared lvl 50's because they can fool themselfs of the difficulty of there kill. This dosent work in the PVE world as killing a level 10 world boss on dramund kass isent gonna fool anybody when skilled players are downing new content in the operations. Sorry guys but theres no switch called easymode in this game. If you want to win in pvp warzones looks like your gonna have to coordinate and work for it.

Fps problems right now are cause more by the lack of drivers accustomed to the game. Most GPU's are only running at 30% of there capacity. Not to mention some graphics options like view distance that would significantly help on fps as well. But a larger feild i think would allow for a better gameplay experience during a pvp match

Allright im going to say a word that is typically blasphemer in this game you ready? World of Warcraft. Now befor you go postal on me and say that this is a diferent game and different designers ect ect. and a thousand other reasons as to why i shouldent mention that game here. Go cry into a pillow or do unspeakables to your significant other and get it out of your system and now think. Part of the reason there wasent alot of lag and a fair amount of crisp kills in the WoW battlegrounds was the expansiveness of the feild of play. This allows for alot of 1v1 confrontations that often define a good pvp game. As opposed to hutball where its pretty hard to so much ignite a lightsaber and not have atleast 6 people of the enemy team spot your location, health and class. Obviously the spaceship isent any different, and though Alderan is bigger the teams are focased through so many channel points to sift from one location to another there is little to no "random encounter" factors for these warzones not to mention everybody has to pretty much hug cap points to get anything done. On the other hand there is Illum where the landscape is almost too huge and armouring crates need to be used as a means of bait to get factions to clash, apart from that the other 90% of the feild is all but unused and there is little to no true reawrd for full capping Illum. what do you think

Typical anti-cry to nerf. A good deal of Operates out there will admit how Op there class is and needs a nerf, other players who argue against this are simply trying to anticry themselfs away from a nerf. Because knocking someone to the ground from invis and stabbing them to 25% of there health before they can even get up to fight back isent unbalanced at all. Lets just say to protect our identys OP#1 and OP#2 decided to que together, these two would go around and pick off the more isolated players (aka the stragelers in the standard movement of a WZ) between the CC of both OP's and there damage on a knocked down target the victum of these players would kill them before they could break cc, and ifthey used there break cc cooldown then the other OP could knock him right back on his ***. At the end of the game these 2 OPS who stuck together the entire game had a combined kill death ratio of 42 kills to 0 deaths. As steath could keep us out of most damage anyway. My friend who also plays an OP tried to argue that classes like the OP NEED to be unbalance otherwise the game wouldent be fun. The class has to much power and honestly unless you catch them targeting someone else while there unstealthed there isent much you can do against one.

Who does bring the force into balance usly end up in it witching sides completely. The Jedi always trying to turn the sith extinct The sith always trying to turn everything extinct Balance in the force would mean the coexistance of the light and dark force giving perfect balance in the universe. I love SW but its just another system where extreamists seem to be leading the way.

So its getting to know your kill vs. reduced que times and larger variaty of compitition yeah bro im gonna have to disagree with you, id rather be placed up against a larger variaty of players to test my skills to, and the reduced que tie to boot, vs. killing the same guy for the 78th time whos probably going to shoot up his family in a psychotic rage cause he convinces himself some supernerd has been stalking him online disagree with o.p. it will svae lives edit: fixed some spelling errors, still pretty bad tho

Id be ok for voteing opposite team, but this guys statments about ourganizing mvp votes only proves my point. To the trolls who just want to call me sore because blah blah blah. Its not that i give that much of a **** about the whole thing, I just get tired of seeing the guy who did nothing or tried to carried the huttball to the wrong side getting 3 votes. When if i cap 3 out of 4 scores in a winning huttbal game and am high up on the charts of healing or dps, and i get no votes? systems rewards you for queing with freinds, not for playing well.

I play BH and SW, some games im bad most games im above average and once in a while i will be topping the meters above all else. Im sick and tired of the games that some noob gets the valor and coms for being voted MVP cause he qued with 3 friends and did nothing but troll general chat all game and has almost nothing accrosed the score bored where i have scores of kills top damage, moderate healing, high objective points and highest medals. and i walk away with a big 0 Please automate the mvp system, you already have a scorebored and it would be simple math, award bonuses to the top 4 players in the game, and stop this freinds vote for friends and not performance stuff.

Seen a couple posts about this so far so hey going to make one. Who needs a buff and who needs a nerf? And what relative changes to pvp need to be made to keep balance. Here is my opinion. Nerfs: Operative class: pretty much needs a nerf, most people who play it say it needs a nerf. I have to agree Sorcerer class: Also a mass cry out for nerf, I agree, any class with that much cc and damage and vice versa needs a fix. They only way to kill a sorc in pvp is if they don’t target you. Bounty hunter: Some people are screaming for for a nerf tree to be cut down to fall down on the BH’s head to nerf them into a non existent slot filled in the pvp bracket, other people say they don’t need a nerf at all. I say they need a tweak. Make them a little more squishy, im ok with something that has that much output damage, so long as they go down pretty quick if you track them down and close the range. No falling Nerf tree, just make them get there on switch and rap them on the back of the butts a couple times and tell them if there going to put out so much damage stop being so tanky. Buffs: Marauder: FFS this guy needs a buff, He is a glass cannon with no gun powder. In a field of falling rocks. When it comes to effective CC the marauder has missed the boat. All they get is force choke, and it’s channeled which means you’re practically CC’ed yourself. Other then that you get a slow or two. You get no knock backs, no mass Aoe CC and the closest thing we get to a immobilize is a very short one and only when they are charging you. And there damage is laughable. You can go through a burst of damage quickly but if there not dead every class has enough cc to lock you down and walk away. There damage is typically half of any other class. And the only way they can work effectively is to stay out of fight until someone’s low, nuke them and then fall back until there rotations up again. While having no perma invisible to support this kind of play style and not nearly enough burst. Muraders don’t just need a buff to there damage, they need an overhaul to there roles as a pvp class. I will get flack for this but I believe it to be true. Overall changes: Combo of aoe stun + lockdown in one ability – Stop this Resolve bar- probably needs to be a little more resolve-ish, you can still take a lot of cc before immune. And I don’t know if it does this already but if your resolve bar is full or near there and you pop your break cc CD th resolve bar needs to reset. Huttball: -More restrictions on ability use when holding the huttball. Right now it slows you and you cannot stealth. But you should also not be aloud to do a warrior charge, a sorcerer sprint, and operatives should not be able target for a heal grab on the ball carrier. Basically this means you got to walk the ball or pass it there like everybody else unless the enemy team is stupid enough to pull you to there goal. -Traps are nearly instant death, as to say 3 seconds and it lights out, half the damage, make them more forgiving but still deadly if you get stunned in one. Starship battle- (I think the voidstar but I cant remember right now) seems pretty balanced um…make it less boring? Alderan civil war- Fix turret heads so they don’t benefit empire side. FPS issues- a lot of people still have them, as well as a lot of server lag. Im talking about the people who have these problems that aren’t hardware based to don’t go trolling on “get a better computer”…..over all, client side. This needs to be fixed. Increase time for afk- a lot of people myself included get booted when joining an in progress game because we cant leave quick enough, this is due to being logged in before the loading screen finishes, an additional 30 seconds should eliminate 90% of this problem without impact game with players who actually afk.

This is the stupidist **** i have ever heard in my life. your trying to fix an imbalance problem and you telling me the fix is to buff republic characters with 5x the xp, a 5 free sets of gear and extra space on your login screen cause your to stupid to realize the limit before you spamed characters on your server. Your basically saying "the only way people will go republic is if i can do 1/5th the work and never have to worry about gear" this isent a fix its breaking the game Let me guess if 2 5 year olds couldent balance on a tetertoter you would fix the problem by mounting a rhyno on the other side of the fat kid right? Vanity is the only way to balance the game without taking it to a sledge hammer, this means faction only free server transfers, this means special vanity items only avaliable for one side over the other, Maybe even the occasional faction only quest event that gets people intrested. these do not break games or make unfair advantages over other factions, they are simply there to be enjoyed. Wow probably made hundreads of thousands of dollars selling a mount made of a string of christmas lights (celestial steed). That had no advantage in game and people BOUGHT it. this dose work.

all well presented. But it seems like yoda was a Jedi to the end. After his insight he saw 3 possibilitys Fight and... path 1: Winning the fight, even if darth sidious is stronger in the force he is not immune from making a mistake or getting his head chopped of by a lightsaber. path 2: fighting and looseing, darth sidious is strong and might easily get the best of him. or dont fight...... path 3: Be able to escape in the hopes of finding or training someone powerful enough in the force to win. To fight meant the risk of looseing, it was an all or nothing bet if he wins its over but if he looses there is no hope for the future of the jedi. On the otherside if he backs off he may have mutiple chances to strike back through him or someone else at a lower risk then all or in. Jedi are trained to think objectivly, to look at all options and choose the wisest path. Fighting would be a passionate act that was higher risk then other options. Yoda being the Grand Master Jedi, could easily see the correct option and had enough passivness in him not to fall into the passions of battle. He backed off because it was the most logical choice. Fighting was not gaunteed failure, i can be stronger then most of the world but im pretty sure a well placed 45's still gonna take me out without a problem. But it certainly wasent gaurnted victory. who would have won is impossible to tell.

Shut up meg

my gf has a PNY Nvidia GTX560, a better processor, 4 gb ram, im runing on a three year old computer with a radeon 6750 and 3 gb ram and i get better fps then her most of the time. it dosent sound like a system settings issue it sounds like a game client stability issue.

what else would you have called it that wouldent sound like the average QQ im gonna quit the game post. I simply want people to look

ill do that aswell

Alot of people have and pretty much ripped there card to bare minimum quality to try an etch our a few fps and cat makes headsway. the fact you arent haveing porblems on a low system and high spec systems are points to a client side issue

I am not haveing crashing problems but i know alot of people still are, Also i have read through a multitude of forum posts in all subcategorys aswell as traveled to patch notes and some twitter channels. I wouldent be makeing this post if it had the awnsers. IF some of you find awnsers through other posts quote them here. I dident post this because i am experiencing all of these problems, im posting this because alot of people are haveing a variety of them.

That’s it, we need an official Response Overall the game is great, like it love it or whatever i spend quite a bit of time not being bored on this game. However there are a fair few bugs flying around still, and while the game is still young and fresh and the bugs need kinked out and everything, we are getting very little response from Bio Ware. SO, i am not demanding to get an instantaneous quick fix, I am not threatening to leave the game if things don’t work out now. I simply would like to know the intentions of Bio Ware. Many people like me see these bugs and view the forums and scroll through the troll and see if there has been some kind of official response to our questions. Very often this is not the case. So im opening this thread in the hopes to get your attention. Below is a current list of issues that seem to be on allot of peoples minds : FPS issues acrossed the board: high spec systems and down seem to have randomized (but all pretty low for there systems) FPS, as well as specific issues where walking into enclosed spaces causes fps to drop FPS issues in PVP: high spec systems that are not having trouble in game still have little to no fps in warfronts. Client stability: This ranges from client freezing to client crashing to falling through the ground and drifting into space. Ability activation to action lag in game: This is typically fixed by changing the processor priority to high for swtor.exe as the people who report this problem are having not latency issues and high performance systems, its believed to be client based. Ability actions forcing non-cast past global cool down: this explains itself PVP afk timers: typically force out players who join mid game because of the time running out before there allowed to join the field, actually hurting that teams chances of winning further. Now there are plenty of other bugs out there but these seem to be big complaints. Im not asking for an immediate fix i am not asking for the details involved in fixing it. Bio Ware i simply wish for a statement. An official release saying that you are aware of the problems i noted (and maybe a few more) and your intentions to fix them. And though it may be asking a little much, a general time frame IE the next couple weeks, within the next month, throughout the year. In no way would stating something like this harm your personal image. If anything it would set to rest many forum explosions about these issues. I simply ask for a response. As for responders to this thread, speak up, bump this post, hopefully we get there attention.

-sigh- I play with my GF, we played wow together we played rift for a short time together, now we are on this. Hopeing to stay. But yeah guys seem to freak out when there is a real girl in vent and thank god im not the jealous type cause we probably would have killed eachother. I understand womens frustration at this because my GF is an excelent player and her being a woman shocks people into disbelief. But i do have one complaint of my own. The unnatural power that surpasses the power of the force by millenia. the ultimate v-power. And what i mean by this is simple. For one reason or another my GF gets whatever the hell she wants, weather its given to her or a presant, or a random *** deal in the auction house that has been put up for a quarted of the starnderd selling price. It surpasses luck and is omnipotent in all MMO's. and i have one request women. stop it im jealous

i chose option three in this conflict dialog as a means of not commiting to one yet because i wasent sure. So am i like screwed now and unable to romance eithor of them? cause thats kinda bs if that one conversation blows your ability to romance them.

I made a huger post about this before. But what it comes down to is bioware did this to prevent a massive ireprable economic crash. It is nesicary and has nothing to do with the players opinion. slicing before was basicaly an exploit. read my post from before. There would be way to much inflation. Seriously dosent anyone remember the way FF 11 economy was trashed in the first month
