I have seen this too. I don't know if there is a hack to increase the mez time, there probably is and that one would be really difficult to pin on someone. I have watched helplessly as a node is capped while I can do nothing. What is worse is being tag team stunned.

Mr. OP if you have 2 million creds then you have all sorts of time to level another toon. You have chosen not to do this and would like an entire game changed because you don't want to. Some games once you hit max level you can choose to start your next toon at say 40 thus reducing the grind to max. I doubt we will see this with the legacy system as you would be cheating yourself out of levels. The issue is that once you get off the starter worlds there is one path to level and yes after the Xth time it is really boring. The game is pretty decent the first couple of times through it after that not so much.

The guy who has more time to grind wants to show off his gear and own people with his gear advantage over his skill. This is all about epeen. PVP is about killing your enemy not grinding gear. Just because WOW and other games have gear grinds does not mean that every game will or should also have grinds. PVP is a different beast. When the game is unbalanced even in the same lvl 50 class then people leave and stop playing. If people leaving and not playing is ok to you then I suggest you take a class on business to understand why this won't work in the long run. PVP servers are seeing what I would consider large drop off of participation...People have quit or are just not logging in for a many reasons. Why? Because there are ton of people who reached BM incredibly quickly due to exploitation of the game. BW killed Ilum. Many people including me really enjoyed it and with a good rig the lag was not a big deal. ROFLPAWN premades going up against pugs for hours on end racking up valor before they fixed the medal system in warzones. etc.... Nobody knows how War Hero gear will be gained other then in rated Warzones that have not been released yet. I guess we will know more when the patch notes are released. If you are not concerned about other people getting the same gear you have then why the QQ?

or ask for help from other players.

Why are there more fat npcs on the the pub side? I don't recall running into many fat imps but fat pubs are common in quest lines.

The OP is correct. Valor had to be scrapped because of the extensive exploitation of Ilum and then not doing anything about it. Maybe the complaints have merit? The RNG system is a joke. Hitting 50 and entering pvp is a terrible joke as it is like fighting with a wooden stick and padded leather armor and the BM grinders wipe new 50's like a hot knife through butter. Most real pvpers would rather skill be the true determining factor in winning than a stupid gear grind. Apparently the OP is afraid of being owned by people with equal gear?

Early April and it has not even hit the test server yet? I guess it really doesn't matter if it hit test as they have no way of copying your toon from live to test so there are a precious few if any higher level toons that are testing the end game content. Prepare for tons of bugs.

Huttball = PVP right?

Ilum daily purple gear will help. With the dailies and weeklies you can get into Cent and Champ gear pretty fast with 15 and 7 comms per bag. or wait til 1.2 and pvp will be fixed...................(sarcasm)

Not going to happen. This is just propaganda in an attempt to keep subs. How do you create RVR when the core game is not build around that concept. The worlds are built so there is very little chance you actually could run into the other side while leveling. His comments are purely damage control. Too little too late. 4 years of game design brought us Ilum and 3 simple warzones. They did not hire 1000 programmers to revamp the pvp and rvr aspects of the game. What do you expect a small team of devs to accomplish in a month or two.............. They will have to somehow balance the factions to even have a shot at this otherwise it will just turn into another episode of Ilum ie Zergwar. Getting more people to play the poorly implemented pub side would take a rework of the entire pub content. Adding a 3rd faction this far into the game is just pie in the sky.

Faction balance has little to do with queues starting 3 v 8. This is a coding problem with the game. Chances are the guy was playing Huttball against his own side 3 v 8. I wrote in another thread that since there is no real open world pvp or RVR the faction balance is a non issue. They are going allow the imps to play even more against each other and no mention of incentives to get people to switch sides or encourage new people to roll pub over imp. The issue is that WZ's should not begin until there are 8 people standing in the spawn area. End of story.

How do you farm when you only get credit for 4 medals now? I agree that people should be rewarded for carrying the ball and doing things that help your team win, not just kills, heals etc.

Maybe guild mail could find some love too. How could this have been left out of the game at release?

This what happens when pvp players are bored to tears. It will only get worse until they get tired of it and then just quit.

You don't get all the skils though. That is the issue. Also they need to lower sprint to level 10 or start pvp at level 14.

Agreed, however they need to look at each class and make sure they get the comparable skills around the same levels. 10-19 20-29 etc. Problem is that I doubt there are enough people in those lower brackets to fill full teams...maybe drop the teams to 4 x 4?

We call people who like to grind Carebears.............

I can't wait for the QQ when people get kicked for no reason if that is the system they release. If they thought the subs were declining now, just wait............

Faction balance is totally irrelevant now. Ilum has been destroyed. Balance has no bearing on WZ's other than you end up playing with yourselves. Removing Ilum just hides the imbalance which was so obvious and which they would not admit to. Since there is no real open world pvp no world pvp and no RVR faction balance has absolutely no meaning to the game. Since they failed to address faction balance I will be my lunch money that this game will never have any of the above. You can put in what the game was not designed around. This is really a single person game played with other people. For most of the content you don't need to play with others. I am surprised that they don't let you use 3 of your companions and do end game (cough) content with them.

/not signed Deal with it. You are a healer you will be killed.

The important thing is the you need to leave the queue when you get out. Everyone in the group needs to do this. Re create your group, group leader queues up. Yes it is a PITA but they say they are fixing it. Who knows.

BW killed Ilum working as intended. They ran a ton of people out too because of this fine decision.

This is a pve game. Why does this surprise you? Pvp was a complete after thought and not much thought was put into it.

How does changing servers fix the broken game? Have you seen server transfers offered? They have not managed to figure out how to get people to level 50 on test bed yet. The games should not start until the entire wz team is in place on both sides.

I believe a training dummy will be coming in 1.2 if you have the legacy levels or the the cash. It will be on your ship.
