  1. Talking about missfire... I just loaded up an Ambush from Cover, the cast time went to full and... nothing. I wasn't interrupted or anything. The cast time went to full, but never fired. Quite annoying to die a few seconds later thanks to the bugs.
  2. Then don't join with those PuG's or find another guild that suits your needs better. I'm sorry you got that kind of experience with min/max players, but trust me, far from everyone is a jerk.
  3. This is just a load of BS. You can't be so prejudiced and blame everyone just because you met one of those. I'm one of those that really enjoy theorycrafting and numbercrunching. I think it adds depth and another dimension to the game. I'm one of those people that want to optimise my performance and can spend much time after raids to evaluate Recount and logs to find spots where I can improve. But from your post I get it that you think all of us (min/maxers) are the same. I'm far from the loot-wh0re you discribe. I never rage, flame, cry or nag in a raid setting because of poor performance or if I lost a roll for my gear. In fact, I'm probably the first guy in the raid that pass on an item so another member can get a bigger upgrade. So don't draw us all over the same line...
  4. I love gaming communities, everyone is so understanding to each other and we're all having all kind of civil discussions and giving away friendly tips. A big vouch for add-ons from me btw.
  5. Didn't read through all the pages, but skimmed through, so I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned already. I do not mind a LFG-tool in the future if they keep it within the server. When they introduced cross-server LFG in that other game it completely ruined the community in my opinion and it promoted bad behaviour. The chance of getting rolled into a group with the same person again was next to non-existent. The bad mouthing got worse. The behaviour got worse. Some random epic dropped and you could almost bet your money that someone would ninja it and leave the group. If the tool is kept within the server I don't think the behaviour of players will sink as low. You will recognize different players you group up with and you should be able to build up a good reputation on the server. And if someone is beeing a *****, for whatever reason, and keep having bad behaviour etc, my hopes is that that player eventually get infamous and people think twice before grouping up with him. Keeping the LFG-tool tied to the server should still give very low queues I hope.
  6. Ugh, it's not about if I remember what key I bounded or not. As I stated - it's about convenience and a less cluttered UI.
  7. Macros is not an I-WIN button. If you come across some guy that loads all his abilities into a cast-sequence macro you will 100% always win against him unless you are a below average player. That's true for both PvP and PvE. The guy with the I-WIN button will always perform worse than the player that judge his CD's and abilities and use them at the best time. English is not my first langue, and I'm not gifted in the art of speach, but I'll try to give you a constructive alternative where I personaly would use macros if they were in the game. Right now you have your entire UI filled with abilities on four different bars. With simple macros I could reduce that to two bars. Making an alt-modifer macro that cast one ability if I press down alt and another ability if I don't have any modifier. I'm well aware that I simply can bind the ability instead. But as I said, it fills the actionbars and clutter the UI. Another example: On my Sith Assassin, on the level I am on right now, I have two kind of CC's that break on damage. Whirlwind and Mind Trap. For those of you that don't know, Mind Trap can only be used in Stealth. If macros were available, I would make a simple macro that combined those two spells and would look something like this: /cast [stealth] Mind Trap; Whirlwind If I'm in Stealth, the macro will try to cast Mind Trap on my target, otherwise it would cast Whirlwind. All this macro does is to save up one actionbar slot and one keybinding. Please tell me how this makes me a worse player and a cheater. It's not hard at all to bind that extra ability to another keybind. Not at all. But this way is in my opinion so much more convenient.
  8. The OP is not advocating one-button-mashing macro's. Neither am I. And I'm sure the vast majority of people that speak positive for this cause don't want that kind of macro either. It's like all you naysayers think that the only use for macros is to load up all your skills in one button and mash away or to make goldfarming bots. That is so far off from the truth as you can get.
  9. Some people just don't get the point. I seriously think people argue because they like to argue.
  10. ^ This. I also agree 100% with OP.
  11. I'm quite sure they will add brackets for lvl 50 in the near future. But right now there's not that many lvl 50's. And if they had thier own bracket right now, they would have very, very long queues. Once more people start hitting 50 I'm sure there will be brackets. Just chill.

    Arenas.

    Not really. I'm not saying skill doesn't matter in the arenas of WoW. But gear and team-comp was far more important to be successful. I rather not see small, glorified duels in this game.

    Macros?

    Quoted for so much truth.

    Macros?

    Bolded part: I agree. But you can have macros in the game without turning it into a one-key mashing game - it all depends on how Bioware code it if/when they implant it. A macro doesn't necessarily mean that you create a one-key macro with all your abilities in it (far, far from it actually). It can be used for so much, and if you people fail to see that I'm sorry for your narrow-mindness.

    Macros?

    So much wrong in this post. It's not about bad or lazy players. Well, perhaps it is if people are asking for skill-sequence macros that let you spam one key in fights. That's a bad design of macros and I hardly think anyone disagree with it. Macros are just like UI tweaks in my opinion. It's a matter of taste, personal preference and gameplay. I played that other game for almost 7 years now and I used a lot of macros for all my characters. No exploits as some people call it, but small things that make my gaming experience better. Mouseover targeting for example. It makes raid healing so much more enjoyable in my opinion. Or if you are tanking a group of mobs and one of them break free and go for the healer - does it make me a bad player or exploiter if I can taunt the mob back by hovering my mouse over its nameplate and activate taunt rather than have to first click it and then taunt? Macros can be used to save up key-binds and make your actionbars less cluttered. It can be such a simple thing like you having three different abilities binded to 1, alt + 1 and ctrl + 1 to take up three actionbar slots, and instead put them in a macro with some simple modifers. Same number of abilities, same keybinds, but only takes one actionbar slot instead of three. No one is asking for skill-sequence macros that takes away the decision of action from the player. All people are asking for is quality of life changes.
  16. Not a must have, perhaps. But it sure makes my life a litte brighter place to live in. People can argue back and forth for an eternity if less UI enhancement is a good thing or not, and it usually end up in a flame-fest with no real arguments. But imo, is there any wrong in letting each player customize his or her UI the way they like for a more enjoyable playing experience? Each for her own, I like the option to be there. Off to sleep. Merry Christmas everyone.
  17. +1 internet to you. Too bad trolls won't read it and will continue to call thier mirror-class OP.
  18. You are wrong. Sith Inquisitors mirror to Jedi Consulars Project spell is Shock. And it does NOT stun your targets in PvP. I'm pretty sure you are thinking of the Electrocute spell (mirror of Force Stun). It looks like a shock of lightning and perhaps you think that is the Shock spell? Again, the Shock spell does NOT stun the player in PvP.
  19. I agree that they should add an option for this. I find it highly annoying. On a sidenote - why do a lot of people curse, scream and nag at Bioware and other players when they are typing in the forums? It is so hard to have a civil discussion without namecalling, trolling and bad attitude? It is possible to adress this issue and come up with suggestions without beeing a douchbag. Try it.
