I just wish they would stop using BST as a timezone, since the UK is back on GMT now and they are probably confusing people too easily.

They way gear works, they nerfed everyone who wasn't using a BM mod/enhancement.

The problem is that if you face a good team and you have too many bad players to carry and it is obvious you can not win, then the rewards for losing (trying to win with a bad team) are now bad enough that you might as well leave and not waste 15mins.

If we take a look at the history BW has shown us, then you can see that they take a LONG time to fix anything, the WZs are now basically about bringing the highest damage and you will win. I wouldn't be surprised if some Devs are already updating their CV. I had a lot of hope.... it is quickly turning into despair. I will be happy if we hear SOMETHING from Devs about this and that is the best piece of Marketing advice they can take right now. Silver lining.... imagine if rated were actually in.

A company having to give FREE stuff like this THIS early in the game is rather sad thing to see, because you know this is the kinda stuff you see a year down the line.... I think everyone will be happy to take the gifts and I'm sure we all appreciate them, but the underlying issue with them is the reason they need to give them with everything going on.

So now with Exptertise the highest gain is given to damage and then less on reduction and then even less on healing done. People are dying very quickly in WZs now (and that is not a good thing) because the promotion of DPS stacked groups is a good options even against tanks/healers. IMO the damage done in WZs right now is higher than it should be.

Not sure how many others spent the time/money to update their Battlemaster Mods but I noticed not all of them updated correctly.... anyone else notice this? ** you will know they did not update correctly, because it will be missing expertise.

I think the bigger problem you guys now face is the fact that a major feature was announced to be coming and then last minute delayed so this will just seem like a constant with any future update.

Wow.... As per some questions, will we be able to do anything with the new gear i.e use it? since they have rating requirements.

Hope not, otherwise Heavy armour can wear any Orange and put the heavy mods in them whereas Light armour classes are limited to just light armour. On that same note, if they allowed that a Light armour class could just buy the heavy armour gear and extract the mod into a light armour.

Everyone here is aware of a bug that completely locks you down in Alderaan right (no resolve)? It only seems to happen on the side turrets.

Knew it would be this week. Looking forward to it.

I would still go with personal preference. I've taken Infil to every single Nightmare mode and has been perfectly fine as a DPS spec in PvE. I like the way we Shadows have a lot to mix about and I would argue that in certain situations certain specs are better, but not enough to say they are the "go to" DPS spec. No spec is hard to master and ALL have a pretty standard rotation with a few variations based on changing circumstances.

um... you played every class to level 25.... did you get any further than that? because many points you raise are moot unless you hit 50/get gear and then compare them. I'm sure you will find people who can/will defend the class they have played to cap and spent time thereafter to perfect (as much as you can do that here). IMO, if I had to say they got something wrong, it is the time it took to level to cap and then the whole pvp gear issue, part of which are being fixes in 1.2.

If it was a close game then gg means "Good game, you guys played well", but if it was a complete annihilation then gg means "you got your *** owned, good game". This thread is gg. (pick which one)

That will entirely base on the damage type you take, only melee/ranged attacks can be shielded and therefore go against that bonus and then the absorption figure determining the amount of damage reduced. You will vary fight to fight what you use, but depends a lot on your current setup, unless you know you are only facing force/tech you want to use the shield, as well as the extra health bonus it provides over a focus.

A lot of it does come down to knowing exactly what the other class has to do and then the best ways to try and counter it and it is no surprise that the best people who know how to counter a class are those who play the other class they are fighting. Also, people talk about high damage, but no 2 WZs are the same and can not be judged as that. Any class who can last long enough in the battlefield will put up decent damage numbers if they are constantly attacking someone and having very little downtime between DPS. Assassin/Shadow Tanks ARE difficult to kill, but if anyone here has fought against ANY other Tank spec class knows they if they are played to the same level, then they too are difficult to kill.

Really looking forward to this as IU control is very important in many aspects and something people were crying from from beta.

No point in putting points into Force Break if you are not using Slow Time. I've ran many builds and even done 27/0/14 for a while and the extra damage from DS is really nice, as well as the range and damage from FiB, having said that the 31/0/10 build is far better overall from the ability to get 3x HS quicker for the heal and damage from Tele Throw.

I spoke to George, he said the OP is correct.

Not from anything posted. The ability to choose a WZ and X-Server will most likely be in a future patch from 1.2.

You got one thing right in the title... Guild Issue (or person issues), you have one if people drop because of something as simple as a Rep Vs Rep game. I wish we could do Guild Vs Guild for fun and have 8 v 8 of our own guys and not even a reward basis, but would be either a. for fun or b. for training.

There must be an exploit of some sort going on, because I have seen it happen in Alderaan where it was switched with no visual sign and therefore not the Smuggler trick. It was done afaik by an Assassin, so there must be something that a few people have become aware of.

I had to double check that this wasn't posted on 1st April, because it certainly should have been. The only thing "urgent" is the requirement to help the Infiltration Tree.

haha, that was brilliant. Reading some replies about people not seeing it for what it is and using it as a jab at BW is a bit lame, thanks for donig that was a good laugh... now make it real!
