PvP warzones are only 8v8? Is Ilum ever coming back? As a player that loves massive war type PvP, are the devs going to add more players in a bigger Warzone type map? I am asking because, I want to know if I should invest time in this game or not. For example, maybe a warzone with 20v20 or so, nothing too crazy where it would kill FPS. Thanks for the replies.

Gotta love all these negative comments about how bad arenas are or how terrible the players that want them are... I'm pretty sure you kids were the ones that never made it out of the 1500s in WoW... Arenas made WoW competitive, not every dolphin kid is going to be able to compete in it and be successful... Arenas took the game to a different level, where team work, skills and a higher learning curve was required. That is why arenas should be implemented with no rewards other than commendations and valor. If not, I don't think I will be playing this game any longer, I have 4 days left on this account and I haven't touched it since grinding battlemaster the real way... Off to Diablo 3 I go, until Guild Wars 2 is out...

They really need to implement arenas, just for valor and commendations, nothing else. Give us players another option for acquiring valor/commendations. I doubt the player base will object to that.

3v3 would be the best bet. Not sure why they aren't even considering it... To be honest I haven't been on this game for sometime, due to its lack of competitive PvP. Don't get me wrong rated War Zones would be fun, however not everyone is going to have or be able to get 10 players plus online to do so. So bring arenas into this game and I will sub for a year...

Short and simple, implement arenas. Rewards would be valor and commendations. This game is extremely bland without arenas...

Obviously a troll LOL, Im full battle master and with buffs, consumables and relic popped I cannot hit for anything higher than 5k and on average against geared opponents I see an average of 3k to 4.3k depending on the targets armor value. I dont have biochem, however you saying 7k is absurd(screen shot please). Only way to pull that off would be to have 5 stacks of sunder on the target, pop every CD, relic etc. and pretty much make sure the target is naked or really under geared and even that, you would probably be closer to 6k. If you want to test it, go fight a lower level mob where you can get full stacks and sunders on and smash and see how much you are doing, granted expertise doesnt work on NPCs but in pvp a target with equal amount of expertise would cancel your dmg anyways. But yeah do that test and post your damage... And dont say that the 15% expertise buff changes the damage by 2k or so, cause if you do, your just an idiot that cant do math. Anyways I hate RAGE/FOCUS, its such a dumb way to play a warrior class.

Amazing, this is why this game is going to last for years on end.

Some people were born to play warrior, some weren't.

Yeah... no... apparently you guys must of not played this class to its full potential. I played a warrior in every major MMO to date and at the highest skill cap. Just because you guys might have made it to level 50 a few days or weeks ago and havent been burnt out yet is a time issue. For the rest of us warriors that actually are playing the game at higher skill and game levels, and have reached the game cap after a few days of early access, know that this class needs to be changed or needs something added. And if any of you guys want, I'll post all my characters from any game, achievements, etc. And BTW I currently have 4 levels 50s in this game already and I have also hated the ideal of having alts, but this games content and fun factor is so low that I am forced to make an alt to semi-enjoy the game...

No, I agree with you, I play full PVP DPS gear in Defense spec. However, do you know how dumb it is to play like this? I know we all have our roles, but when I spec DPS, I expect to be able to DPS. It is not like Im complaining about not being able to DPS, while Im a healer.

Who else is bored of this class? I have spent millions of credits re-talenting my guy and yet, I still haven't found a fun build for this AC, the overall gameplay of this class is boring and the trees are cluttered, tanking feels really worthless, when equally geared and skilled players pull aggro off you, dps feels so gimped when you know your not doing as much DPS as every other class(i.e it taking 5 secs more for you to kill a solo mob), and pvp feels just dumb, I hate the ideal that my damage is miniscule compared to everyone else unless I go a Focus build(and please dont bring up smash builds, they are so worthless and only non-intelligent players will argue about it and 5-6k isnt OP if it can only be done every 19 secs and requires buffering - but than again, I hope that tree gets changed somehow, the whole playstyle does not match a warrior and the one trick pony gets played out fast). Anyways, I have grinded full Battle Master gear and Columi / Tionese gear. However at the moment, there is nothing to do, I spend half the time doing low level flashpoints to see if my companion can solo bosses. Granted I am playing one of the weakest DPS classes, which really doesn't help the cause. I'm just saying, please fix the Warrior tanking AC, get rid of Rage and Focus tree, leave that for the Sentinels and Marauders and give us something more, something that focuses on single light saber combat, or buff Vigilance/Vengeance and fix our tanking tree(threat issues), swap out the tanking talents in Vigilance/Vengeance and put it in our Defense tree and put some other talents that are on par with DPS in Vigilance. Also give the Defense tree Sundering Throw, no ideal why its even in the focus tree. Im leveling an alt that is level 35 at the moment and honestly I have never leveled an alt in any other game, I shouldnt have to here. But at the moment I am because there is simply nothing to do and this game is becoming really unenjoyable. END of RANT - P.S I know this is a new game and content is going to be low, however at least make or trees make sense and viable. Because I really havent been on the game, only on the forums checking patch notes for new content and changes to my class. I am really considering freezing my account until this game becomes enjoyable.

I love vigilance, however this video still proves, its the weakest tree we have. This tree has no CC, no damage, no survivability. I play defense, you should try it, dont even bother with focus its dumb. With full battle master gear, I am seeing higher numbers and more damage in defense than vigilance. My spec is on the bottom, you should try it. It utilizes alot of master strikes and guardian slash hits like a truck. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#500frhfzMbkuRZcMMZh.1

I agree with you, number 1 would probably be the best solution. Allowing everyone to be able to use reusables would be the best option.

Nice video Niaoru!!! what server are you one? I totally agree with you VertisReaper, I play a battlemaster guardian and I still get my sh*t pushed in by scoundrels and operatives. It has nothing to do with "L2P" its class vs class. And DunsparrowSolo, have you even played any other classes? With alot of other classes hitting for 4k is not seen alot, when fighting geared opponents. Just you getting used to seeing numbers higher than 4k pre patch clearly shows how overpowered your class is.

Will DPS Guardians and DPS Juggernauts be viable? At the moment, it feels like we are just off-tanks trying to DPS.

Yeah we are the Horde of SWTOR, I noticed this when I started on swiftsure and got to 50.

4.9k? lol. your such a troll. i am full battle master. and with buffs and adrenalin and relic popped, i would never be able to hit a target for that high with the gear you claim to have.

I would like to subscribe to your wonderful news letter.

Bads will be bads, "please dont nerf my OP class, because i am able to kill a heavy armor class in 3 GCDs" yeah... It's kinda dumb how Operatives and Scoundrels can take down a Juggernaut in Soresu form with 14% expertise to 30% HP in a matter of seconds. So you guys need to stop your crying and deal with it. No other class can do that burst in the game. You guys have stealth, that alone is an advantage over most classes, adding the burst damage, thats just OP.

I doubt that EA/BW is that ignorant about the issue at release, they simply assumed that everyone was going to be Republic and Imperials needed an upper-hand, they were so wrong. I hope these issues will get fixed soon. Because at the rate the game is going now, being Imperials having a population advantage and a skill/talent advantage, alot of Republic players will stop playing. SO FIX THIS ISSUE!!!

The differences with Vibro Swords and Light Sabers, are with identical mods and hilt in the swords, the top end of light sabers are higher buy a small amount and vibro swords have a higher low end.
