Sooooooo frisky!

One thing I certainly enjoy about the pvp community on Jedi Covenant is deep down, regardless of guild, skill level, etc., everyone is willIng to help one another because WE all are looking for the answer to the same question....how do get the rated scene viable! As I saId earlier, I do not believe any guild should be excluded from rated's for any reason! Just because they may be better organized, geared, or difficult to beat? They pay the same amount monthly as I do and have every right to participate when they want! Any restrictions are absurd! I know I would rather play and beat the best! Chaotic will be rolling again Saturday night! Ohhh yea! Hopefully by then, I will have been able to have spoken with some of you and the pixels will make a better showing!

No need to appologize vas! Candi and the rest of em were a well oiled machine! I will take u up on that! Interested in hearIng some strats! Th wz I remember the most was hypergate. Melee walled the entrance, ranged camped either side, heals in back! Any attempt to focus one of heals was met with an imidiate response! Was interesting to observe!

I could not agree more! Also, i should point out that this post was not intended to blast those guilds that are successful in the rateds. It is my oppinion that they have every right to queue as often as they want, whenever they want. It is the responsibility of the other guilds, trying to get to that level, to figure out various ways to improve to be able to compete. As far as the whole ***** stomping situation, I agree that it hurts the pride. Especially for those of us who know what needs to be done in a rated. For instance, the other night, Chaotic Pixels queued 4 times and got faced rolled by my pub guild....Prime Defense. The reason they were so dominant was because we had brought along 3 guildies who had never stepped foot in a rated. They played the matches as if they were normal wz's. Although they are very good up and comers, the experience opened the vets eyes about group consistency and the new comers eyes to what they had to do to improve. On the flip side, the vets got a little upset. Ultimately it was this experience that spawned the conversatioin about should we or should we not queue. I think the experience for them was invaluable for the new guys. Already they are reevaluating specs, gear, and watching vids. Hence, why my oppinion still remains to just F'it and roll on in. Only way to improve.

Although I normally avoid forum posts like the plague, i was interested in hearing the servers oppinion about when, exactly, is a good time for any guild to start getting serious about rated warzone competition. My imp guild, for instance, Chaotic Pixels, has some very talented pvp'ers. We often debate though about whether or not to consistently enter the rated scene for several reasons: 1) we know we are not able to compete (yet) with the top rated guilds 2) we are not (yet) as organized 3) not interested in getting "farmed" 4) not hearing the $hit talking and negative comments that normally ensue after the fact 5) will consistently loosing affect our ability to recruit additional players that might help with better group make ups With that being said, it is my oppinion that the only way to get better is to take our lumps and learn from the experiences. I would rather take ***** stompings and take something away from a match vs. not doing them at all. It is the only way we can figure out what pieces of the puzzle are needed to increase our success rate in the rateds and could certainly increase the speed in which many members could gear. As far as the comments and crap talking, I think that is just a part of it. Does not bother me in the least and I don't give it much thought. Anyways, like I said, just interested in hearing some oppinions.
