I don't recall anyone ever advertising harb as a server for solo ranked. Before 3.0 Harb had a more active 4s q. I'm not sure there even is a best server for 4s anymore? Tired diatribe about a dead pvp game or something. Pvp wise Harb is probably the best server to form up tryhard regstar premades since it has a larger group of people q'ing, especially pubside. I like having characters on both servers personally, but I lvl'd during the 12x xp. Eff paying EA that transfer blood money.

Gear importance in pvp is kinda exaggerated a lot of the time. It's not remotely close to what it was in the days of lvl 50 being the cap. The key comes down to actually knowing how to use bolster and make sure you're getting the full 2018 expertise once inside a warzone. This is very easy to do, even if someone primarily pve's, it's as simple as keeping a separate set of gear with blue mods/armorings. Level 20 stuff laying around their cargo hold would be fine. Anyone out there getting destroyed as a 50k health dps class has no one to blame but his or herself. I'd say the main thing a fresh 60 is lacking are relics that proc in pvp. Those should probably be every fresh 60's first priority. Having every slot of your gear augmented is probably just as, if not more, important than grinding out a full set of pvp gear as well. So having the necessary credits helps, and is probably the biggest hurdle!

My mileage varies, and have only been playing here since 3.0, Imperial only. Maybe in a month or so when I have more cartel coins I'll transfer a pub over and compare. When I q alone I probably lose to pubs more often than I win. They seem to run more groups, and maybe fewer people total running around without pvp gear/mismanaged bolster. Or maybe I just suck that much. I kinda think solo q'n regs is a masochistic practice which I'm guilty of far to oft. That said when a few of my friends log in during the evenings we can easily go a few hours without a loss. I'd imagine a halfway decent premade for either faction will make the difference most of the time regardless. -Rhilia PS. Has been my experience that listening to the soundtrack from Ridge Racer 4 has a positive effect on win loss ratio in regs.

The real truth here is Quesh is an abomination of a map and makes lag hackers out of everyone.

Your pvp gear is going to be pretty useless in 3.0 anyways. Might as well reroll now while there's x12 xp.

Why do so many people drive their own cars to work instead of car pool?

Please yes. Not just relics either, but the armoring and implants for stuff like champion, battlemaster and hell even Centurion I still see being worn. I tried mentioning to someone wearing recruit yesterday and they told me off insultingly saying they just didn't care. You can easily lvl up with the same green/blue pve items all the way from lvl 10 to 55 and maintain decent enough stats/expertise that this shouldn't be an issue. The implementation of bolster not addressing older items with expertise on them is such a huge flaw that negatively effects the pvp environment for everyone.

I'd assume the people playing SNES star wars games were speedrunners, and those nerds are crazy. Awesome Games Done Quick Marathon a couple weeks ago broke 100k viewers glitching out old Mega Man and Donkey Kong country games, so there's no real predicting that stuff. I will say the Super Metroid race was pretty neat.

No one cares what your record is if Alex Smith is your quarterback. zzzzzzzzzzz

The formula for bolster is based around the current top pvp gear, and the diminishing returns on the pve gear I believe scales with that. Thus you can seemingly get away with using mods slightly above what you could before 2.4 to get the full bolstered expertise of the item. Currently for the +15% crit bonus to tracer missle I've been using 2 61 campaign armorings and 4 66 mods/enhancements which I purchased off the GTN that were player crafted, and I lose 0 expertise from these items. I don't believe this was the case in 2.0, and I would've needed gear a li'l lower. I believe when new pvp gear comes into play the formula will change again, and you'll probably be allowed to get away with a 69 or two, etc. Similarly I don't believe armor rating on the items really matters at all, since like weapon barrels/hilts, bolster seems to raise everything to being the same level, and I can tell no difference on the character sheet while in a warzone/arena. That said, pve/pvp set bonuses being arbitrarily separate as they are is lame, and poorly contrived. If in the future they found a method to provide set bonuses that did not correspond to armorings that may or may not have expertise that benefits people, it would be much appreciated. I imagine pve'ers would like the same options with using pvp set bonuses in pve.

Heroes in a halfshell, and they're green!!!11~~

The Dev stupidity shown in the quote about people unsubbing because of stunlocking operatives was a bit more priceless, but heal2full shall never die.

<3 it so much it's more like <4 or maybe even <5!

Sorcs healing to full while operatives stunlock people till they cancel their subs. Hopefully BW can give us some more gold quality quotes for the other classes sooner rather than waiting another year+.

Just remember, a sorc is an "easy to play, hard to master" class. While easily understood, getting the most out of your abilities may require a higher skill level than many players are comfortable with.

I hope this means she's into chicks. If so, vote received~

As someone who pvps more than pves I'd be ok with that list if it included extensive and well thought out balance and quality of life changes. Things like adjusting time to kill, overhauling bolster into something easier to understand, and maybe changing the way set bonuses are applied so they could be more easily chosen on both pve and pvp gear. Oh, and maybe do something about allowing people to re-login into a ranked warzone after the server/game boots them. Unfortunately changes like that don't seem to be something on the docket. Instead we'll get 4v4 arenas that will likely amount to something people can organize and do themselves in Outlaw's Den.... but now with disconnects and /stuck.

Comedy gold.

It clearly says all powertechs are welcome provided you're not stupid. Kappa

Dat boobcpm

Well that was twenty bucks well spent~

I would actually guess the Bastion is the best pvp server atm for midnight to early AM. I'd imagine it'd die earlier on PoT5 seeing as your 2 am is an East coasters 5am. Since the apac transfers I've noticed Bastion has had close to, or even over, 100 people on the fleet all night and up till server dailies reset at 5 am.(pub fleet, though I imagine imp fleet to be about the same if not higher).
