I dont know if it ticks faster, but something is very fishy about the ship hull in alderaan. Their first turret automatically tears through 10 of republic hull the first second (automatic tic and then a fast tick). Even the games where you get the turret right before them, they take you down to 590 before you even break their 600 ^^ This is not a gamebreaker, but it really makes you mad when they win with 5-10 points and you know it was all because they got free ticks at the start. Now, all things considered, the best thing we can hope for is for a BW post that says "oh sorry guys, it works as intended behind the scenes, it just looks like theirs tick faster". The same bullcrap we got about scoundrels 90 second Flashgranade.

I lol'd!

First off, funny how you say I died because I couldn't LoS or interrupt. Fact: Had nothing to LoS with (that being nothing close enough to get too in time, with the stuns) and interrupts? Well, too bad I dont have any of that. Secondly, yes I am quite happy actually. I hate the bolster effect (I like the bracket system much more, even tho I understand why BW used it) and that info helps me get some knowledge to why my heals are getting weaker instead of stronger I prolly wont be around for long (unsubbed due to the horrible bugs/inbalance) but I will come back later and try it most likely. Will have to see if it's better then ( @50 with gear that is).

Had the exact same bug just now too, and it was in a freaking winning WZ too (one of very, very few!).

Noo, can you be a imperial player perhaps? Roflmao much!

You would sooner see me buried alive than faceroll the imperial side! And hence, I have no idea which abilities of yours that work.

Funny how my questions about the trauma debuff got turned into a "you are a bad healer" I know all about LoS:ing, kiting. And for interrupts, well my class doesn't *********** have any, short of a direct Stun (7 years of healing in WoW should have taught me something, huh?) Guess I will have to repeat myself! My statement: My heals have been significantly nerfed (from getting the 5k heal medal at about every single Warzone in levels 20-30 to not getting it AT ALL!). Something have changed. My question: Is this simply because the bolster effect is more powerful when you are 20+ compared to when you are 40+? (strange tho, since I keep all my gear, which is custom, at maxed level). Or is it simply because the Trauma debuff is new? Please people, before you bring out your "You suck, go and L2P" hammers, atleast read my OP.

They are medals awarded for doing the right things (like 2.5k dmg, 5k dmg etc etc) and they award 50 valor and 5 commendations each. Want medals? go tank or dps specc! DONT roll a healer.

You people can say whatever you want. I still want information about this Debuff (which, none of the posters have mentioned even...rofl) I dont know, perhaps something freaking Magic happens when you ding 50 and get some gear. But I highly doubt it. I just dont think it's reasonable to keep the same dps, but nerf the healing so hard that my Bolstered heals do less than my UN-bolstered level 30 heals do. After yet a few wz's with my friends, I'm even more concerned. I get out-dps:ed by every single class out there, and some are simply silly! Example: a BH spams their lame (but awesome looking) missiles at me for 3-4k, and my heals (that get delayed etc, and takes longer than his GCD to cast) crit heals for 3k. And that is not even one of the worst cases

It does say they will update the page with more and more content coming with the patch. If they for some reason dont bracket the PvP the 17th they will lose about half of their subscribers the 20th. Let's hope they aren't That stupid!

Right, you mean where it always ended up being a stand-off on the path between the bases? On my server the matches usually went on for up to a day.

Cross-server PvP doesn't need to come at all! It's thrash and ruins the PvP experience. It killed WoW's PvP and it will kill SW:tOR's.

+1! Even tho MVP's arent worth much at all, people still should vote! No reason not too really.

That was from a inquisitor. The consulars/inquisitors aoe heal need a HUGE nerf. In most PvP matches they can just throw out their aoe heal and it's 30k+ healing done. While the other healers can get like 5k+ out from theirs ^^ Now, my stats are far from good (not even 50 yet) but my healing have gotten a huge knock down, even tho my gear is top of the art (cybertech ftw) and I'm higher level. Just wondered about the debuff, if it was new and if it was the cause for my 3k+ crits (compared to 5k+ previously).

Wanna start by saying that I have no information about this debuff..Hence this thread. I saw it the first time a few days ago, while playing on my alt. Apparently all players in PvP get a debuff which decreased healing received by 30%.. This is nothing I've seen or heard about before. The thing is, I remember "back in the day" when my combat medics heals crited for 4-5k constantly, and that was on level 20-30. Now, when I'm sub-50, my heals instead crit for 3k, barely! This makes me wonder if this silly debuff isn't new, perhaps in one of the later patches? Here is a healer who are completely baffled! Before: I could actually outheal a OP/SC or 2-3 classes (be it for a short period, before my ammo runs out) but now: .. Now my heals isn't even enough for a single mediocre players DPS. P.S. I dont want to be invincible as a healer, that does not lead to funny PvP matches. But there has to be a limit to how weak healing is in PvP. D.S.

About the best news in weeks! Awesome, finally the forums will be useable again

So cry less and roll a republic? Will be pretty much instant queues there. Problem solved.

Haha pretty obvious point, but funny one none the less!

So just because of those 4 players who by chance or design could troll you, you think the whole class should be nerfed into oblivion? Great! You just made me ignore your arguments Any class of four players playing togheter will tear through anything but 4 others doing the exact same.

That goes for any of the stealth classes. And being focused by two of anything is gonna hurt Fast unless you have a pocket-medic.

1.1 just hit the PTS about 1 week ago. So no I doubt it is anywhere near the coming. I actually read about a minor patch to the 1.1 hitting the PTS last night (or something). So it is work in progress, but I bet they are still gonna tweak and fix with it till the end of the month.

What is wrong with you being prepared for it? You mean you run around in a warzone NOT expecting to get jumped? Same, same! the duel just gives you a controlled enviroment with a enemy that you can consult/talk with for advice etc. But suit yourself. Wanna live in ignorance, so be it.

The med-packs isn't the worst part, it's the damn adrenals if you ask me! The adrenals+buffs+stims buff you up something sick! So what if your enemy get's a 3-5k heal? Just go get some yourself! Altho, I would like to see the medpacks on the same CD as the PvP ones. Kinda silly that you can use both togheter

Practise makes perfect mate, it may sound silly to duel but it is one of the best ways to get to know your/other classes and how to counter them. Just ask him to attack you as he would an enemy, and then figure out how to counter it. If you even fail at this then I highly suggest you go PvE instead

This ^^ The stealth detection in this game is actually really harsh (on stealthers that is) compared to other MMO's. as a 40+ I even detect most 50 stealthers before they get a shot at me (unless they use "improve stealth for 8 sec", or come up from behind fast). And with a detect stealth aoe ability (for trooper, as I play that) with short CD and instant cast, it's not that hard to pick out the poor stealthers. L2P your class, get to 50, get some good gear and Then come complain about people beeing OP.
