now that PvP gear does not have expertise I think PvE gear will stomp PvP gear. I assume Bolster will give any gear you wear Expertise, but as PvP gear no longer has EXP on it we lose 1 whole stat that PvE gear gains.

I hear what you are saying, I usually team up with a sage healer friend, who is playing the WoW expansion at the moment, but that would not change much, I usualy do not die that much, I on average only die 2-3 times on any game, and most game 0-1 times. My main is Bolta - lvl 53 Commando - Gunnery spec I have been recording my progress in games I play, what spot I came in for damage, my dps rating , how many deathblows, and solo kills, and how many times I died. 90% of time = I come 1st for damage output and deathblows 50% of time = no deaths, other 50% average 2-3 deaths so as far as the playing of the match, I do very well solo, on my own with no premade group, but the rest of the team suck, a game I played yesterday I did 550k damage, 2nd place did 360k (PT), 3rd place did 160k, that is why I feel sometimes I am carrying my team. I ask around in fleet any good WZ premades but no answers, I usually think to myself, I am sure there are premades, just no good ones its not like I am playing at lvl 53 with lvl 30's, usually only 1-2 people in group are below lvl 50, rest are 51 to 54, I guess they need pocket healers to help them, I don't know, it's not like I have time to stand around and watch people play there classes to figure out what are they doing wrong (I used to do that on my rogue in WoW)

I love my class have the whole way up from lvl 1 to 53 now, but PvP is dying for me, getting real boring. so many bad players, I assume PvE players trying there hand at PvP, or just people in general playing a good class badly, but I join game after game after game, and you can tell in the first 30 secs to 2 min if you are going to lose or not. alderan - they 2-3 cap you in first min Hutball - they get first score in 30 secs novare coast - they wipe the middle rush almost instantly ( you know its all bad after that) hyper gate - all seems ok until they steal you pylon with 10 secs left on 1 round Voidstar - don't get me started republic rarely wins this for some reason, but you know its a loser when they get the first doors in the first 30s secs I feel I am a good addition to any game, I put out a lot of damage and get lots of kills, and stop caps where I can, but some game you feel like you carrying whole team and you say **** it and leave looking for a good group. they need the following to enhance PvP 1) cross server PvP - like WoW 2) get to choose the WZ you want to play, such as Novare coast, over & over & over again - like WoW 3) if you implement cross server PvP, premade groups can only play against premade groups, and solo que vs solo que I was hoping that the expansion would breathe new life into the game like a WoW expansion did for me in the past, who here can't tell me you left wow for another game and came back to play the expansion and love it again for at least 1-2 months, SWTOR expansion has been out for a few days and im bored, nothing really new all the same stuff. Can't call Mekab new, its looks the and feels the same as everywhere else, every new WoW expansion looked and felt vastly different, im no longer a WoW fanboy but its a good game for examples. Right now ONLY reason I can muster up to play SWTOR is to kill time until DAYZ Standalone comes out or a new MMO like "Wildstar" I know the swtor expansion was only $10 for a digital download, but what a gay expansion, im sure the PvE players will get enjoyment out of the new instances, but PvP blows.

do Commando/merc 25% dam reduction bubble stack with 15% dam red stim?

no im not talking 1vs1 I see them in a crowed I know they have burst so I focus them, and they take ages to kill, like a juggernaught I kill merc so quick & easy its not funny, but PT's take forever, like a juggernaught, and they are not in tank mode, but some are. It has to be more than bad luck on my part not getting a string of crits, I know they don't have more armour/ damage resistance, they the same as merc, but how do they soak all that damage up and keep going. im serious they very hard to kill, im not saying they UBER dps lefts nerf them, im just saying I don't know how they last so much longer than a merc. example - have a merc stand still do nothing but use defences like bubble & stims etc and let me try and kill him as quick as I can, he will go down fast. Do same with a PT and they last longer, why?

This is not a troll it is a question as I do not understand. How do PT's survive for so long taking so much damage in WZ, when a merc or commando would die quickly to same damage. the PT's I refer to are not in ION tank mode they using plasma cell, sure they did use bubble during figt and no doubt damage res stim, but I use the same and my health gets eaten through fast, they seem to survive forever. in the last WZ I just did I came first in damage 599k 2nd place PT did 360k, when I focus someone they take ALOT of damage, but PT's seem to soak it up and keep going, they didn't have healers, so they not getting help and no sorcs to bubble them. even in 1.7 I noticed the same thing so it's not new to 2.0, I don't know all the abilities to a PT/Van after lvl 33, so do they get something commandos do not to resist damage?

I just paid for the hutcartell expansion 14.4.13 10.30am GMT is it active yet as I cannot buy crew skil upgrade from 400 to 401-450 when does it turn on?

I agree, in full WH/EWH gear I had about 22k hp 1700-1800 exp cant recall, I took off all gear except wepaons & generator, all stats went up 24500hp 1950 exp, more damage, I do lose my 4 set bonus + a few % accuracy that's it, that was tested 30 min ago 11.4.12

I have played most commercial MMO's that have come out, I do not recall 1 MMO where you could cast on the run or moving in the slightest, other than instas. what MMO's are you refering too?

I think this quote is what I am trying to say, fights are over in seconds, no need for tactics or strategy just use your big dps abilities and the person is dead. it is upto the 2 people fighting if 1 thinks he can get the kill keep dpsing, the other will try but should have just ran or LOS, as he will die. I can kill sages and all squishy classes in about 3-5 secs, grav round full auto grenade grenade, 4k, 12k, 4k 7k all up about 5 secs I can get those numbers. Juggernaughts and sentinels still VERY hard to kill, all there damage immune abilities takes ages to kill them and if they focus you, you are mostly dead.

The new version of adrenaline rush is pathetic now, if you are a commando and you are in a fight and your health gets to 30% its all over regardless of adrenaline rush, you need it when you at 70-90% please put it back

I know the new talent trees only been out a day, but lvl 50 PvP is so STUPID now 1) most sages are healers, so 1/2 the team 2) you have to play naked with just a weapon to be at max stats with the new bolster system, any EWH armour just lowers your stats at 50 pvp 3) even at max stats 24500 Hp + 1900 exp get hit so hard, but that's ok the heals are SO OP, im at full health in no time solution 1) get rid of Bolster, or fix it 2) lower heals 3) lower dps 4) and make it if you not wearing proper armour (naked is current standard) your stats are not bolstered NOTE: not well thought out I grant you its just PvP SUC KS DI CK now, so boring & annoying

I play a gunnery commando, and I enjoyed it for the most part at lvl 50 PvP, if any melee focused me it was most likely going to end in my death, t I started to turn the tides on some melee fights. But I assume the screwed up bolster is why I am dying so fast now, I hear you are meant to play naked to max your stats from bolster, but with my PvP gear wouldn't it be better to keep the 1300 expertise and 4 set armour abilities than to play naked? I do see I am hitting harder with my abilities but the damage I am putting out now is that meant to be lvl 55 damage? there are 4 PvP 2.0 PTS videos done by a lvl 55 commando and the damage he does at 55 is what I am doing now. so the damage I am doing now at 50 is the same damage I will do when I am geared at 55?

Hey guys, I just got fraps recently, have recorded some gameplay i want to upload onto youtube, but YT does not recognize the Fraps vids when i try to find and upload them. can someone who knows / used to uploading YT vids, explain what i am doing wrtong and what i need to do next after I have recorded a fraps vid, so i can upload to YT

I have been playing on "The Bastion" since release and I am based in Australia, most of the time it's fine for ping I average 180-240ms at all times. But last couple of days I am averaging 240-300, and usualy hovering at 400, I also get spikes constantly upto 6k 240ms in pvp is fine and playable, althought some glitchy graphics after someone jumps they look like they are hovering. but 400ms is almost unplayable, too much delay in your actions and reactions to fight properly, if the ping does not get better I will leave also, I can only imagine it will get worse once all the oceanics are transfered to the server.

5 more days until Pyro PT's & vanguards get nerfed, yay, ned time a Bioware employee thinks its fine giving 1 class the ability to take on 2-3 people at once and win, should be fired.

why not just roll all of the 3 oceanic servers into 1, to keep the server up and to bolster numbers

I read a small whine post from someone on oceanic servers, saying they are coming down due to low numbers. is this true? and when?

I have a lvl 50 on "The Bastion" Nth America server, with lots of credits, anyone have an alt on "Dalborra" Asia pacific, who wnats to trade credits. I give you credits on Bastion -> you give me credits on Dalborra

should only have 2 options for WZ queing Que solo and Que rated. if you are soloing your WZ PvP fun time then you que solo If you are teaming up with 1 or 3 friends you have to que rated This will reduce que times all round, and give us solo players a chance against premades

thats the point of the post, its sarcasim

worst class in game, worst healer in game for pvp

Can I please get a laugh on one of my attacks on my commadno like PT's & Vanguards get I would love an attack that soulnds like lolol im *********** killing you with one attack, lolol im *********** killing you with one attack, lolol im *********** kill you with one attack, lolol im *********** killing you with one attack. Yes please add that in 2.0

I just tried this freeze stun + blitz rotation and it didnt work, when can you use blitz as a trooper?

This is a comment from another post His rotation in PvE Plasma, Incendary round, Charged bolt, high impact bolt, full auto, throw a sticky grenade get in range, throw frozen grenade thing.. use Blitz than stock strike.. quite a nice rotation for pve.. even if i only use the melee attacks twice on the mob and shoot the rest of the time... still adds up Would Blitz work on a PvP player if you frozen grenade then blitz? I have never been able to find a situation to use this ability.
