    Wtb scoreboard

    I assume you mean that the scoreboard does not show up at the end of a Warzone? Try hitting Ctrl+U twice to reset your UI. I have never had an issue where the scoreboard is entirely missing, but sometimes the MVP buttons do not show up for me. The Ctrl+U reset works like a charm for that. Hope you get it fixed. If you mean to say you want to be able to view a scoreboard DURING a warzone, I would staunchly oppose this. Some PVPers are way too distracted and way too hung up on stats as it is. Being able to view their stats during a warzone would increase the level of suck exponentially.
  2. Good advice although, sadly, you could have titled the thread "Things 99.9% of people in warzones won't do"

    Warzone Balance

    Wait, what? If you're going into a warzone without the intention of winning, you're negating the effort and enjoyment of MOST of the people in your group. Do them all a favor and don't queue.

    Warzone Balance

    i wish they'd do something like this. i'd rather not play if the wz doesn't start with 8 v 8.
  5. While I think fire DOTs are ridiculously annoying, I don't think they're OP.

    Warzone Balance

    Another 3 v 8 loss/waste of player's time this morning.
  7. Some really good points to consider there. Thank you!

    Warzone Balance

    I've had a week straight where about 90% of the warzones I queue in to start out unbalanced on one side. 4 v 8 appears to be the average start for Republic v Imp or Rep v Rep. Sometimes these teams fill out as the warzone progresses, sometimes some folks leave while others join, leaving an imbalance, and sometimes folks leave and nobody else joins. I have had more than one 3 v 8 recently and it's extremely frustrating. Is there a fix in the works for this? It's no fun Bioware. No fun = no play. No play leads to the dark side.
  9. A list of skill boxes that seem useless, IMHO, for a full spec'd Combat Medic who mostly PVPs, mostly in pre-mades. I'm making this list for discussion purposes, not to just be negative! I'll post my current build when I get home tonight. Let's talk about this! Anything in Assault, we just can't invest enough points to make it useful. Advanced Tech, just seems like way too little % increase Heavy Trooper, not useless, but I think there are better ways to spend 2 points if I want to be healing others. First Responder, 2 points for a minor alacrity boost that lasts a very short time and ONLY turns on when you get a crit. Waste of 2 points. Kolto Residue, a minor healing buff that lasts 15 seconds after you apply Kolto Bomb. You don't always have time for Kolto Bomb. 2 points better spent elsewhere. Armor Screen, i'm not sure about this one. Does it have a substantial benefit? I usually don't spec it because I'm short on points already. Treated Wound Dressings. My current build is the first time not using this box and I haven't seen a noticeable difference. I need to figure out whether a 4% damage reduction is worth the two skill points.
  10. Great post! I think they need to fix the flagging issue on PVE servers. I personally love pvp in open world areas like this, but I also know how irritating it can be to have some mouth breathing neck beard overtly harass me because he's too much of a coward to PVP with the big boys. That said, the death penalty in TOR is exceedingly mild, so don't let it annoy you too much. And report the griefer(s), that never hurts.
  11. 1.2 brought some great things to the game, but it also brought about changes that some of us in the community don't enjoy. Specifically, a lot of healers have been respec'd into Sad Pandas as a result of 1.2. Could someone at BioWare please at least acknowledge that 1.2 wasn't very kind to healers in general? Maybe explain the reasons why? Tell us whether or not your metrics agree that healers seem to have been overly diminished? It would also be nice to know whether or not we can expect any adjustments so we can plan respecs and acquisition of new gear or retirement/alt leveling etc. We just want to know what's going on. PLEASE shed some light on this. I hope the "quit QQing" and "L2P" posters stay out of this discussion. Comments like that are totally useless. *sunscreen and flame suit on*
  12. Just curious, I know there's no way for any of us to know for sure, but I'm wondering: Do any of you think BW will address healer nerfs in the near future? Perhaps a lengthy explanation or maybe some undoing of the 1.2 changes? I've invested all my TOR playing time into one character, and spent most play time in PVP. This character is currently unplayable, IMHO. (EDIT: Ok unplayable is a bit extreme. But "no longer fun to play" definitely applies for me right now.) I need to decide whether to mothball him and invest a significant amount of time in a new alt or do a complete respec and grind for new gear (PVP and PVE), which may not even help.
  13. Before 1.2, I typically applied TP at the start of a warzone or after dying, I'd apply my Trooper buff at the same time usually and pop a stim as needed. When you apply TP at this point in time during a warzone, you'll likely recover the ammo spent before you get back into combat, right? Now that we commandos die every three seconds (or so it seems to me), you'll have many opportunities to apply TP and get that ammo back before you get into combat. Just a thought.
  14. This thread is for discussion for those who are retiring or considering retiring their Commandos. Is your self esteem so low that you have to come in and bash people? You're completely off topic and rude. ****.
  15. Any tips on improving survivability (outside of what your teammates can do) or do we just have to deal with getting burned down fast and often? I just tweaked a popular spec and came up with this. Any thoughts? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#800rfRoRzfbkqZMckM.1
  16. Who in the hell are Cowen and Company and analyst Doug Creutz? [The answer is nobody.] What are they basing their "estimates" on? [The answer is nothing.] Why are all the game news sites blindly posting this empty speculation? [The answer is, they're not critical thinkers or real journlists, they just want you to go to their site and hopefully see some ads.]
  17. I'm totally fed up with the current pop culture obsession with zombies. It's boring and uncreative at this point. However, I absolutely LOVE the Rakghoul Plague content in the game right now.
  18. "there's various aspects of the tab targeting that we want to do...those are all improvements that we want to do. Not all of them are in 1.2...larger boxes...labels on the name plates [but not clickable name plates]..." Thanks for posting the youtube link, but the info given by BW is useless. As far as I can tell, nothing was changed with 1.2 with respect to tab targeting.
  19. I was on the short end of a 3v8 yesterday. Taking a break from PVP now. Hope they fix it sooner than later.
  20. Very interesting thread here. Hope BW has the guts to adequately respond to it.
  21. I'm retiring my Combat Medic from PVP until they fix population balance in warzones, adjust rewards, and (wishful thinking) tweak Combat Medics and/or pvp damage in general and/or pvp healing in general. This kills me as PVP has taken up about 99% of my game play time in TOR. Since 1.2, however, I have found PVP to be nothing but frustrating. If it isn't fun for me, I'm not doing it. Very heartbroken about this. Only consolation is some occasional open world PVP while running the Rhakgoul quests on Tat. I will continue to PVE because I find playing my Combat Medic in PVE is still entertaining. I ran EV and KP last night. We had a very smooth run, I had no trouble keeping up with heals, and I had a great time.
  22. Did the set bonus carry over when you swapped the mods out?
