First of all, I want to congratulate bioware for releasing something for pvp players that actually do work, for the most part. I really enjoy playing the game now, but there are some tweaks I would suggest for season 1. • A persons rating gain should be based on his rating in relation to the other teams rating, instead of team vs team. This to enable players to "catch up" a little bit, if someone has to switch the spot with someone etc. • Ready check, self explanatory. • If someone DC, they should be able to get ahead of server queue and get re invited to the warzone when they log back on if the warzone is still ongoing. Or at the very least not make them lose rating if their team still wins. (I understand that you have to lose rating if you leave and your team lose, to prevent people form "dodging" a game.) • Top list in game and on homepage, showing the top ratings. • Fix the "dead in spawn" bug, lose one player=lose the game. Or at least reduce the amount of rating lost if one person DC's/leaves • Make voistar 0-0 end in a draw, and unchanged rating, rather then the silly RNG for ranked matches. Might add more entries later if i think of more stuff, but that is it for now What do you think?

it is a priority list of course, all this talk about soft cap is just bs, because at 1332 (cap for non moddable offhand) one point (with my current force damage as multiplier) of expertise adds about 0.148 damage and 0.135 damage reduction, making the 1v1 damage modifier about 0.283, compared to the static 0.23 from power. So when you decide which gear to pick, you have to evaluate how many points you can gain by sacrificing expertise. The numbers is all there in your character window, 2 min with a calculator would give you the answer in your specific case, but there are no general rule, since most stats gain is dependent on how much you have in the other.

I think it would be a great idea to be able to defect to the other side (imp to rep and vice verca) once you finished your class story. Preferably with a quest bound to the alignment, unlocked at max light/dark for respecitve side. This would bring more diversity to the game, and make people able to experience all class stories, and enable them to stick to one guild at endgame. A simple "Enlightened" or "Fallen" could be added in front of the class name to clarify. Thoughts?

Got told by customer service to post about ready check in the suggestion box thingy, but seeing as there already is so many threads about it, I'll just bump this one instead It would help a lot for ranked warzones, where not everyone stand in the same spot, so any other visual solution by jumping around wouldn't help, and asking on vice chat "If anyone is not here, speak up" is kind of redundant for obvious reasons...

What I have been using is shock charge, Sharp bomb, vital shot, flurry of bolts, and if its a healer sabo charge for etra burst, then wounding shots, speed shot, flurry of boltsx2, then wounding shots. As far as the energy recovery from less crits on dotts goes, I think that is entirely made up by the extra dot that only cost 16 energy to apply (single target).

Have been playing around with this spec, and it works surprisingly well, am I missing something, or why don't more people use it? Slightly longer build up time then normal dirty fighting, but much higher burst due to another dot+contingency charges...

This. Wear battlemaster armoring if you want to keep the set bonus of a rakata piece, it has same expertise, and about 3 less main stat/endurance.

So you can send in one person to scout the oposing team before deciding if to join? no ty

Well, I was online refreshing the homepage and twitter every 10 min since 9 am this morning, which turned out to be a full 7 hours before the game actually came online, so I would like to think that I "earned" my spot on the servers and not in the queue

Have you seen the new voidstar? it is easier to attack then to defend now if you know what you are doing, which it wasn't before. How would you like it to be decided if it was a draw anyway, coin flip?

You can see the current rating in the top left corner of the warzone screen after the "team rating" text

I must say I am very positively surprised about this 1.3 update, everything seems to work as advertised, and the new graphic update is awesome! Especially the ranked warzones, finally the game starts for pvp players!

When you are out playing golf with your friends, do you only use the putter? And if you do, and someone point it out, would you accuse them of trolling? Just because it is not a life or death situation doesn't mean that it isn't worth improving your skills. If you don't care about your performance, how can you care enough to play at all?

http://bluestacks.com/ works just fine for me Edit: It is an android emulator

Not to mention that a lot of the well geared players will be doing ranked war zones instead, leaving more room for the under geared to perform in the normal war zones.

What the title say. I have done some searching, but found nothing of note.

Totally agree, I use the same set up on most of my chars, so would simplify a lot

I think it would be a good idea to make expertise linear so it is always better to take a "pvp item" with expertise on it then a pve item. I don't see the point of not having it this way, since the whole idea of expertise is to do... just that.

So far so good, for once bioware fails to dissapoint At my parents house now so can't check if it went through correctly, but as far as I can tell it have. Only issue is that on the server status page, I no longer have any servers highlighted because I have characters on them. Additionally on the transfer page it now say I have 9 characters at Toomb of freedon nad, which sounds a bit weird seeing as the cap is 8.. Anyhow, really lucky that just ToFN was the destination, since I now have a lvl 29 legacy there, to be merged with my lvl 31 legacy from chuundar

Great argument, really changed how I viewed this problem...

Then when we are at it, we should make the max level 1, and give everyone the exact same stats, and have gear only affecting how we look. What a great idea.

No, not possible. If you leave a ranked warzone early, it will count as a loss. You will never get any "back-fill" in to the game, because that would make the newcommer having a huge dissadvantage from the start, so I sugest that you only invite people that you know and who doesn't have connection issues.

undying rage if you saw blue numbers pop up above him, and location bug if you didn't see any numbers, meaning he wasn't really in the fire on his screen.

If I would have to guess, I'd say that it was an interface limit on it (number of characters) rather then the space the number take to store.

The /say chanel has a maximum range of like 60 meters, which make it very unreliable to use. However I think the /e chanel has longer range, but everything you say then will start with your name, which make the chat look a bit weird. Not sure what the range on this is though, but from what I have noticed it seems to be longer then the 60 meters of the /say. As an example, a friend of mine used the say chanel when he was at snow and I was at middle in civil war, and I did not see his comment.
