IN football, the teams are competitive. If the NFL played against a high school team, you might have people walk off. If the 49ers had only 6 players on offence against 11 Saints on defence, they might walk off. The issue is that the teams arent competitive or even.

I am sorry but this is ridiculous. Here is the reality. On every server, there is a core of good PvP players. We all know each other. I am Valor 73. That means a lot of matches. I generally know who knows how to play and who doesnt. I also know who is better at my class than I am in both factions. It's not like their is some big mystery--as to who is good and who is bad (and who is just inbetween). As far as being selfish, I dont recall anyone ever leaving one of my games that was winnable unless they disconnected. And I wasnt offended if they left an obvious loss. Didn't hurt me any. I still got my Valor and Credits.

/bump So back to my question. How specifically have people remodded?

Nah, I'm an idiot which is why I need help.

Have the same problem in PvP, Force Cloak and everyone sees me still. On the other hand, I have 2 points stealth detection and never see an Operative or Asssin who vanishes.

I have the Battlemaster Stalker set. I am presently specced 31/0/10, though I also enjoy 0/33/8. I need to know what specific mods I should change in the Stalker set in order to get the most from my gear. I am presently 68.32% crit multiplier, 31.03% crit chance, 99.43% Accuracy, and 314.7 bonus damage. (I am looking for something like "Take XXX out of XXX and use a Champs XXX from the Champ XXX gear piece")

Same thing happenned to me. I had to suicide after every kill to get credit again.

I am wearing BM Stalker, instead of Survivor for PvP. I have the complete set. How are you hitting slow time for 2K non crits? I hit for about 400, maybe 1100 if it crits.

This is possible. I suppose my lower damage output just means my oponent has those extra few strikes to finish me off that he didnt have before. But there is no doubt I am getting blown up in warzones today. It is a noticable difference,

The surge nerf may explain lower damage, but I don't know how to explain being squishier. In comparison, I averaged 20-50 kills and 2-5 deaths per match since I switched to KC. Today, I am averaging 15-20 kills and 8-10 deaths. Also, I am not talking about now versus a month ago. I am talking about now versus yesterday. 24 hours.

I was infiltration until the patch. Then, I moved to 31/0/10. It was awkward at first, but after a few dozen warzones I started to do pretty well. I normally led my faction on the leader board, and I seemed to be able to solo most of my opponents. Then, this morning, after the update. Playability seems different. I dont seem to be doing as much damage. I am squishier. At first, I thought it was just the mix of my opponents. Maybe a disproportionate amount of geared premades. So I kept playing. Now, after about 30 warzones today, I can definately say -- something is different. I am averaging 1-2 less medals per match. It's not certain medals I am having trouble with today. It varies by match. But the game seems harder today. Harder to survive. Harder to put down an opponent. Anyone else notice anything? Were we stealth nerfed?

I played as Infiltration until the recent patch. Now I'm 31/0/10. I can kill anything 1 on 1. I am almost always at the top of the leader board with medals. And I haven't even reached my full potential. I see shadows/assasins who are much more skilled than I. One assasin got 16 medals as 27/2/12 earlier today. Kinetic is the most opowerful spec IMO at the moment. That being said. I know an Infiltration Shadow who almost always gets 12 medals and he flat out rocks. Did almost 500K damage in one match I was in. So play what you enjoy the most.

Is anyone familar with this spec (27/2/12)? An Assasin was using it and earned 16 medals while doing 400K damage in Voidstar. How does it work?

For PvP, the Stalker set offerred me better performance for both Infiltrartion and Kinetic Combat. I can't speak for Balance, as I never specced that way. I use the Survivor set for PvE tanking.

LOL. So True. I am Valor 71. 99% of it was earned in Warzones. I can't ever remember anyone leaving a game I was in that was still competitive. When I hear people say "People leave every game I play!" it makes me want to suggest that perhaps they might ask a better player on their server how they can improve.

Very nice. Thank you for your efforts.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. a) In the vast majority of times that people have left my games, it was obvious that our team could not possibly recover and win the game. For example, a premade opponet that scores 5-0 in Huttball in 5 minutes and then holds the ball while farming for 10 minutes. So I don't think this is a valid reason. People don't generally leave games that are competitive. I recognize that, yes, a loss can be turned into a win. But in the vast majority of the time, it simply doesnt happen. b) This might be a good point if they were trapped in that warzone. But if I log into a game and see the huttball score at 5-0 with 10 minutes to go, I leave the game immediately. If its a losing game and someone joins in the middle, then they can immediate leave. So I don't think this is a valid reason. At the most someone has to invest 15 seconds.

Problems with Sorcerers/Sages may depend on your spec. In my old spec, I could not kill one. They would kill me before I could break their bubble sometimes. In my new spec, I have yet to be beat by one 1v1.

We keep having these threads complaining about people leaving warzones. Several times, I have replied and no one addressed my comment as far as I could find. So I'll try it here: Why do you care if people leave? How are you hurt in any way? In 95% of the cases, the game is an obvious loss. Their presence would not change that. You still get your commendations whether they stay or leave. So why do you care? Here is why I think it annoys some people. It's kind of a silent insult to you. You aren't geared or skilled or even trying, so people would rather abandon whatever commendations they get from a losing game than continue to play with you. And that's what bothers you. Your feelings are hurt. Am I wrong?

No points for losing. The only other option is allow people to kick you from the game. 6 people from your team vote to remove you and you get booted. But by the time you get a replacement, you have generally lost anyway.

/agree I am not sure what is supposed to be accomplished by punishing people who leave war zones. First, as said, people would just afk. Second, the reason people leave is they are outmanned and outgeared and outplayed. People rarely bail on a competitive game. People leaving doesn't hurt anyone. The ones who stay still get their commendations and points, Once we have rated warzones, the leaving will generally end.

So what do I do with excess champ commendations? One companion is now full Champion and another is half Centurian. I need sooo many Champ commendations to get all my compansions their champ set. I played WoW and LOTRO for years. Gearing up in this game was the easiest time I had. People keep saying its a 25% drop rate. I think thats wrong. It's a 5% drop rate. At least for me. But by doing the dailies and weeklies you eventually get your set. The game has only been around for 6 weeks. Give it some time and do your dailies. I really don't think we need to make it easier to get gear.

When I was Infiltration, I used CS a lot in group PvP. I would go that route. The reason I say group PvP, is that often in groups you join a 5v5 at a door, turret, around the huttball etc. and you need immediate damage on something. Then, asfter spamming CS a few times, you can pick and choose other targets for other abilities. So you end up using CS proportionately more in groups. Of course, you use it solo a lot as well.
