I don't think continuing the discussion will do any good but I shall say that I believe my post has been somewhat misinterpreted as usual. I don't think I could see your nameplate but I might be wrong. The important part is just that I won't resent people using the corner cap or bubble or WHATEVER from now on and I will try to use these things to the best of my ability too. I made the post to say I changed my mind about that, that is all!

Good games and I appreciate that you guys queued, however I was mad at the fact that you used the corner of the hut bug in NC. That being said, I have now changed my philosophy to doing anything possible to win and that is because that way there won't be frustration related to thoughts like "what if we had used the corner bug too". If I play on my sorc, I will also use bubble stun etc etc. Just wanted to say it here before I get tell about going against what I used to say. I have changed my mind! I don't want to regret losing a game because of bugs or overpowered abilities. Also, if we ever did get the PTS or cross-server, there would really be no way to control the "abuse" if we call it that way, so I think it's good to start practicing with all of the possible "tricks". Still, very impressive display that PD put out tonight, I stand humbled.

Then my motivation to play is doomed! gonna have to wait for the expansion to see some meaningful changes, the PTS and PD were my last ideas. I'll try to enjoy the coming in-game event and get some open world pvp

Candygirl, Unreal, Reva, Ditto, Decimate, Jareese, Hobi +1 from the team Jareese made the other day and we're good to go!

I'll play with you if Uncensored has enough to run a full team. Now the other thing I have to say is no need for 2 "top" DPS. PD has many talented players even if some are arguably stronger than others. The discussion about the "perfect" team has been made many times and I think the community will miss a lot if we let that mentality hold us back. Both Uncensored and LD50 have been defeated by pug group so waiting for the perfect comp/perfect players feel silly to me. Uncensored will stop queing because they have me or deviluhoh online instead of Blunti for example. Same for LD50, they use all their players. Furthermore, what you guys are gonna be missing out the most is team chemistry and the more you wait to practice that, the more the gap in team power grow. I remember Jareese running a team without you Candy, vasyel, venus or yooni. So it's not like you don't have enough players! Also do Rezikj and Tazz still play or have they unsubbed again? I haven't seen them in a while and of course they would make your team very strong. I haven't seen Wahnsinnige in a long time either... probably gone, I miss him!

1.7 coming next Tuesday! I'm hoping that the smash nerf will happen then and not with the expansion. Sadly, it looks like the PTS isn't online and even if it did get online, we would only have 3-4 days to play against other servers... my dream for cross-server has been crushed Can PD hurry up and form their team already?

It looks like 1.7 is coming out next tuesday and that we won't be able to play on the PTS... I am depressed lol I was looking forward to playing against you guys and everyone else.

Sage healer is already the op class lol Also I would never consider that tank have no place in PvP, having a jugg/guardian tank is a huge advantage. Same for tanksin for node guarding or hybrid dps etc blabla. As with the others vanguards tank need moar but I'm very surprised you don't see the place of tank pj-b. Imo 2 healers 1 tank is way stronger than 3 healers.

Ask Krayshawn for the sniper changes Yooni... they are awesome imo although we don't get stealth while staying in cover out of combat which was my dream! sigh

Pretty sure posting more info can get you banned from the forums... so be careful

About the sage changes.... I'm am fairly sure these "buffs" are new abilities coming with the expansion. I am even afraid that 1.7 won't nerf smash and that the changes we can see in the data are coming only with the expansion too. Also, from what I understood of the changes, smash is gonna be weaker than it was before, however I prefer if it become too weak than if it stays the way it is.

So many people I know think 1.7 is coming soon and I decided to start DLing the PTS to be ready but it's a huge download (11 GB) and I just want to be sure, when 1.7 come out, I won't have to download 11 GB again? I mean... maybe for people that know that stuff work it seems obvious, but to me it already seem weird that we have to download 11 GB to play on the PTS considering I already have most of the live content installed

Damn it it says I cannot access the page! Can someone write about the changes to rage/focus? or datamined mean that that's not clear even for you guys that can see the page? cause if I look at the wiki definition... then I'm ***.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5763364#edit5763364 The problem here is "soon"

Thanks for the info, sadly, I am wary of Bioware saying the PTS will be open for playing "soon".

My guild might be interested on trying to play on the PTS but I've never played on it before. I read the FAQ made by bioware and I am unsure of how it works. It looks like the PTS is offline until there is new content to test so for now is there any for guilds from different servers to play against each other?

I am unsure of how it works as I have never tried to play on the PTS, I read a post of bioware and it seems like we can only play when new content is being tested? If that's the case, then playing on the PTS wouldn't work for now... I think.

Posting this here so it get some attention from those interested in ranked warzones : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=593379 Sure, it's not cross-server, but it's the closest to it we are gonna get I think...

That tank domination make me curious of how we would fare if we would copy our characters on the PTS to fight guilds from other servers...

Well you are in luck because fine folks like combatmedicjr have created the kickball ranked wz initiative. That mean we form a roster of players and team captain pick players from that roster. We run pug ranked teams very often, you just have to pay attention to the custom channels we created every night. Republic : /cjoin pubpvp Empire : /cjoin imppvp Be aware that you need at least full WH with some augments to be able to play. We usually use mumble for team communication. On pub side the persons to talk to are combatmedicjr/rippernine and Yuri(the i has weird symbols) and on imp side it's me(see signature for names) or Devil that usually make pug teams. If you want to run a full guild team, that's fine, but you might want to get experience with the veterans in pug teams first because even pug team made of veteran players of different guilds are quite strong. If you face a full guild of a good PvP guild, you will probably lose so badly that you won't learn much so I highly recommend kickball then when you got 10-15 games under your belt you can go ahead and try full guild.

Lol the sparkle part at the end

Nice games Friday night, my team got about 11 games against 5 different teams!!

I think making rules wouldn't work and create tension. I'd rather people chose not to play it by themselves. Also, bubble stun is far from the only ability that give sorc a way to survive. I think the general perception is very biased about it. Yes, sorc are the hardest to survive with, but it's doable. And they are the only one that can cleanse force crush, that they are bubble stun or not! Anyway, I don't think arguing about it is gonna change people opinion now that I think of it, but if a sage/sorc is reading this, courage and do it! Edit : About smashers, I have noticed that most teams have pride and don't run more than 2. When a team do run more than 2, they get exposed to mockery so usually it's not a problem. Edit 2 : If I wasn't clear, imo AOE heal sorc is relatively equal to scoundrel or trooper while bubble stun is far stronger than any other specs.

I'd much rather die a bit more than play bubble spec for the reasons already stated. I'll admit it easily, it is very difficult for me to understand people who argue for the use of bubble stun as imo it makes the game SIGNIFICANTLY less fun. It has been named many times by many players that it's one of the reason that PvP isn't fun... I don't know, I'll stop now because this would just turn into a rant. I'll finish by saying that I play aoe heal on my sorc and that I consider it very fun and that I don't die too much. The biggest difference with my scoundrel is that I have cast time abilities that get interrupted all the time.

Why wait! lol Bubble stun is less enjoyable for everyone, at least I don't find it fun to play on my sorc, and everyone who isn't doing the bubbling sure don't enjoy being bubble stunned! In regs, people are bad enough that it's easy to get away with AOE and in ranked you'll have a good tank plus if we all agree not to use it, it will be more fun and fair for everyone
