Yea, I run around screenshotting everything..sigh! Basically (i am a healer btw) juggs/guards when played right are very strong. And I have a guardian guildie who is focus specced and he is in top 3 dps every..single..game! Just learn your class and complain less! It is beyond me how you can not get 300k dmg done when you can leap in, do a 20k++ attack and then leap out again. Just that single attack should push you over 300k. My guildie usually just lolz in Gchat about his damage outputs on healers/groups.

Love those moments as well! Or when you are a couple defending against their Whole team, and still none of your allies realises that if they aint getting attacked on that side, the other side is most likely zerged.. But the best is people not reporting, or reporting during/after a cap/plant

Me and my brother basically win it all. Is it due to our server having good players? Are we making enough of a difference most of the times? Or are our imps really just..useless? I dont know, but I really dont feel that the imps win more, rather the other way around! And no, I wont tell you which server it is, I dont want all the sucky reps to come over to us. But I can tell you, by experience, that it most likely wont change much if you change side. For a couple factors I dont think you want to hear.

I only bothered with reading the first point, since it felt redundant to keep reading it What you suggest is actually already there mate.. But sure, they could make it more clear.. but does it always have to be clear? It works.. And it is players fault if they ignore objectives, not BW's. You can only do so much to incentivate people, they must actually Want to win/do the right things. I Personally dont feel like it's like you say.. in almost every WZ I enter almost exclusively all the players follow the objectives. Why? Because that is how you win, and people want to win.

Me and my brother tested this several times some time ago.. and unless they have changed it in a patch without saying anything about it, it should Still be 1 commendation per vote, not 5. And where do you get the idea that 1 MVP vote is 1 medal? I guess you mean it is Worth as much? Which still is flawed.. it would just make people vote on friends/not at all instead.

@OP: You high bro?

Sorry to break it to you, but it's just 1 commendation/MVP. The MVP is just there to show to people that this person have done a good job according to the grps votes. The medals are worth 5 commendations, and then you get a number of commendations depending on the game somewhat.

I get 8 medals on a regular basis, but that is as far as I can go. I do understand that you say 9 with the thought of the 75k damage medal. But that means that I would need to forsake some of my 500-700k healing for damage, and since I am a healer I say "**** no" to that. I will never support a playstyle where I should Not heal as a healer just because it will make me get a extra medal or two. The system is flawed and that's it. Dont make excuses like "doh, all you need to do is dps some more.." rofl. With that said, I dont mind my 8 medals that much.. especially not when coupled with 500-700k healing, 0 deaths on my premade and 3-6 MVP's.

No, the OP has validity in complaining about OWPvP in SW:tOR, not in copy/pasting a unproved and questionable PvP form from another game developer.. I personally have much against OWPvP just because it will never be balanced, and I can't see why people so desperatly wants it in a MMORPG.

Again, someone is totally missing this whole shield thingy. It is decent, I will give you that. But it is on a rather hefty cooldown, it costs rather much And it is rather damn weak. A decent geared player can go through it in 1-3 GCDs (depending on crit/type of attack/etc). Basically put, it is a good thing to have on the team Before you enter the skirmish Or to buy some time on a low target.. nothing more! It is not a "I win button" or a "zomg he got ze shield, I can just change target".. People need to learn to see beyond the "omg, I got owned.. noes! Nerf!"..

@OP: You really must suck if you have such problems with healers. I can outheal one DPS rather easy, if I play right (I'm a healer yes). But the second that that single DPS/Tank becomes plural (aka two or more) I'm a dead man walking.. Unless I get help from my friends ofc. The concept is Very easy. I will basically Not be able to kill a DPS/Tank just because.. well I'm a healer (dooh, I know!) and are mainly specced/focused at healing/keeping people alive. But should 1 DPS be able to kill me? No.. A Healer can't be so weak that 1 player can facemelt them..It should require some coordination/teamwork to take a solo healer down. And secondly, what are you whining about? As the DPS/Tank you get Alot of free damage done on us, While pretty much preventing us from healing our allies. Soo, you beef your own stats While negating me, is that not enough?? Get some damn clue what you are talking about nub, and start playing as a team already.

@OP: I dont have anything against ArenaNet or their ideas.. but it is kinda lame of you to go to a released game and say "Hey, I think you should have done it like this" and then post a link to a game far from even released. For all we know it will be the biggest PvP flopp off all times. You kinda reversed how this whole thing should go.. Usually you take something Past that has worked and rework/add it.. Not something in the future that you have no idea how/if it will work I could make up a hell lot of cool ideas on paper myself..

They have lost me! I am a avid PvP fan and was looking forward to some real PvP, even some e-sport (that they said they wanted to have...) but have been utterly dissappointed! I've gone from barely having the time/energy to sit through the hours and hours for the dailies to not even bothering with that any more. And since the latest Ilum failpatch I've seen a huge decline in PvP on my server. No one is on ilum and 50 queues are up to 15-20 min from about 5.

Have never bothered checking how much Valor it gives, basically since valor is useless. But 1 MVP vote gives you 1 commendation. Not 5 as you've stated. I most recently checked this last night. If it actually awarded 5 commendations I wouldn't be the thousands commendation behind my tank brother I am..

Have been grappled a few times just like that, but the funny thing is that I've scored every single time. I dont know what makes it not score for the BC the first time there (too high above the line?) but I've always lol'd at people giving me a instant score by doing that. IMO it's fair. I die sure, but I still get the score. It's up to the enemy what they prioritizes

Couldn't even bother with reading the whole posts, since none of them actually was fixes to the "problems" (often imagined). Gotta hand it to you, the faction imbalance fix made me lol alot tho.

Can report that this also concerns the shadow class. My brother have been unable to guard me several times due to me being "unable to guard" or whatever the message is. This pretty much suck since I run as a Seer and we've chosen this combo out of it's strenght.

^this I know NO one that hangs around a game for the PvE. It is a sorry excuse of a challenge (hard to go up against AI's? Nope..) that gets boring very, very fast! If you play PvP for the right reasons tho, it can keep you around for ages. Make PvE viable: Need new FP's and Operations every month or so, or the PvE community will have cleared it twice and gotten bored of it. This costs Alot. Make PvP viable: Throw in a new tier of gear/season every now and then, with some new WZ now and then. With this and the ranking systems you will have a working PvP system that will keep it's playerbase around for Alot less Alot longer. And to say that "PvP:ers is just a small fraction" of the playerbase is just purely ignorant. News flash for you, it aint true!

Pretty damn sure there was a rather extensive PvE leveling system in WAR, leveling through PvP in WAR was actually slower than it is in SW:tOR..

^This I like these changes, but am a bit worried that you will listen too much to the forums. It is a fact that most threads/posts on the forums are from angry nubs just whining.

What a joke! Spend your money fixing your broken game instead! You already know what needs fixing..

Sure, I'd need to go a crash course in basic programming, but I'm pretty damn sure I could handle the coding, management and thinking a hell lot better than these guys. And I'm smart enough to know that you should always cater to the customers, and one huge step in the right direction could be to actually talk to the community about the game. The last time I even saw BW/Mythic care about what the players think was when we got to vote about the Consular AC class (Seer won obviously), and that was looong ago.

Took the words out of my mouth! ^this

You must surely mean how they Don't handle these things? No worries, we all make mistakes, and a typo is a rather small one so you are forgiven.

What a joke, basically a wall of text of BullCrap. Bioware, you proved your true colour when you failed to act on the Ilum exploits (like that wasn't cause enough to shut down Ilum? Then what is..) and still haven't fixed that. And the Slicing exploit took you even longer, with almost as big ramafications (altho, they are more hidden than Ilums was). Would really like to see a post asking for our forgiveness and explain that you are just human or whatever you wanna use for a excuse. Actions speak stronger than words, yet you continue to try and smoothtalk us into subscribing another month..If any single one of your last patches had actually fixed the problems, Or not added more bugs, I could buy it and keep subscribing. Altho the utter lack of endgame content probably would have stopped me instead Conclusion; Open your eyes and stop bullcrapping us, Please!
