They have been reported numerous times by multiple people. Bio / EA is either too busy to investigate it or doesn't really care. It is more than obvious they are exploiting as the enemy team doesn't attack them and they work together.

Here is your blue ribbon for showing up. Minimal effort, full rewards for you. Skill... bet you play a Sent or Jugg and smashtard your way around the WZ in your PVE / Aug exploit bolster bs gear.

Are you doing this crap and trying to deflect? I have no problem losing to a better team if it's a fair match. Stacking your buddies on the opposite team to get quick wins and comms is low and you should get banned for it.

/signed Bolster sux. I played from launch till about may 2012 (whenever D3 Launched : P) I had Warhero title and Warhero gear, there was no Elite Warhero at the time i quit. Came back about a month or so before the launch of Hutt and knew I was going to be at a disadvantage for a while agaist full EWH players. I was totally fine with that because that is how it works with progression and the price I must pay for blowing off the game for a year. I'm very sad to see that for some reason Bio / EA decided it was a good idea to hamstring natural mmorpg progression. Players need something to work toward. Getting almost the same thing with 0 work really blows. Maybe it's the way the world is heading idk, perhaps a symptom of the "i'm entitled to it" mentality. Where is my participant trophy?

First of let me explain. Premades are putting "moles" into games on the opposing team to get quick unopposed wins. At first I thought these guys were bad players or just being jerks porposefully trying to make their own team lose. I watched through multiple games and realized that these people were from the same few guilds each time. I also noicted that they would sometimes come into a match at the start and after 10 sec or so they would all leave game at the same time. So anyways, this was not just random jerks or very very bad players. Now here is how they are cheating. These guys are queueing trying to get into games opposite thier guildies / freinds premade group. In hutball they will grab the ball and run to our own goal and help the enemy team score. If someone from our team grabs the ball the sorcs' that are supposed to be on our side pull our own ball carriers into traps ( not just once either, every chance they get). They have also pulled our ball carrier back when about to score. They wiil most of the time wait next to the ball spawn with the other team leaving them alone, just standing there with them so that they can get the ball and start toward our own goal. Nothing really you can do about it either, you can pull them into a trap but it just gives the other team the ball anyway. In other warzones they hang out in a group somewhere just healing each other and taking up team slots so their buddies have a lopsided steamroll game. In hypergate these same guys will put their sorcs in the middle right outside the door so that if anyone from our team gets orbs and makes it out they can yank them back into the middle of the enemy team. These guys who i can't name in forums without getting myself in trouble by violating tos have been reported multiple times by many different people yet not a thing seems to be done about it as I still see the same names weeks later doing the same crap. Please do something about these guys who are exploiting your queueing system. Playing games where your own teamates are playing for the opposite side and getting mauled over and over as 4-8 of them attack me at the same time just makes me sad. Having 0 chance of winning because of cheaters / exploiters makes for very unhappy players.

Any news on when the bug will be fixed and we can start digging for the last parts yet? Last I saw they just said after 2.0.1 any other updates?

Thank you guys. Now I won't waste time looking for them

So did the bug get fixed today? Are we able to obtain all the parts for these now? Didn't see a mention of it in the patch notes so I assume not but want to make sure. Anyone know?

One thing i miss is being able to insta whirlwind if you specced for it. With how fast we die and building the other guys resovle bar whilwind doesn't help much anymore. With how much damage you take you'll be close to or dead by the time it takes to cast it.

Sorc heals are fine imo any more and they will be OP(if they aren't already). The dps is probably where it should be too. The problem is that if your not heals specced your going to die really fast. Warriors are the biggest bane of Sorc/ Sage. They can smash you to dust in 3-4 secs. My Sorc has 2018 expertise outside of warzones and a Sent / Gaurd can still hit me for 8-10k. That is what needs to be changed Sorc / Sage takes way too much damage. Maybe it's the TTK right now idk but we shouldn't get killed in 3-4 hits at 2k+ expertise and 26k+ hp. I can see that heal spec might not suffer too much from that but dps spec gets blasted and the heals are so slow. Yea yea someone is going to ltp this but they are most likley a Jugg / Mara, Gaurd/ Sent and are enjoying the smash smashtardedness. Btw i'm not calling for a nerf to any class just a WTH? with how much damage sorc takes especialy from melee and not much in the way of escapes that can't be countered easily or waited out.

I am getting this too. Crazy lag spikes from 62ms then above 40k and back down to 200 and so on. It is really annoying. Can barley play at times and it is often that it lags.

This made me smile Since when does it take a lot of skill to be good in a FPS? It's move a target over someones head and push a button. My 8 year old son finishes top in those games and he just jumps around and shoots heads.

I really don't understand why Bioware is going down this path. You would think that the companys' main goal would be to lure in subs. "Why buy the cow"? They are giving away the milk for free. If you don't need gear to be top notch in PvP and there are no speeders or pets or anything to gain from comms then your kinda wasting $15 a month. Are they just going to rely upon the Cartel Market for their revenue? Seems a bad buisness plan to me. A steady revenue is preferable to a completly sales based one I would think. People that sub obviously do so because they want to play a lot and have more / faster access to rewards. Nothing worthwhile to get anymore that you can't get from f2p? Bet subs go way down. I for one probably won't buy a weekly pass just to play more huttball and nothing to shoot for.

Those people need to go play a FPS or something. This is a MMORPG, it's all about progression.

There really is no excuse for not having armor in a slot at low level. You can buy a full set from the damn social vendor at social 1 which is easy easy to get to by level 10-12.

If you just get out played so be it. I'll be the first to admit there are better PvPers out there than me (not a keyboard turner though). Yes getting geared up takes work maybe not hard as it's only a game and should be fun but still. Why do people do dailies? For the fun of doing the same quests everyday? They do it for the rewards at the end. Meaning better gear / stats, vehicles, companions whatever. What is going to be the reward for PvP? A note in your codex? Not enough incentitive for most people. Most might do their daily but whats the point after that? Is there even a point to doing the daily? The less people you have queueing for PvP do to lack of incentitive means longer queue times for l33ts like you.

Just had a thought amd i hope it isn't so. Do you think Bioware / EA are pushing this game to a more console like game where you have the campian that you can play with live / ps network friends and muti-player that has a more fps feel to it than a mmorpg feel? Gods I hope not! Please tell me I'm just crazy and that this isn't going to turn into another console game with a pc version. Damn I suspect that might be where they are going since bioware has always been a console company till swtor and may be done with pc MMOs.

Again while WoW isn't perfect it is the most successful MMO ever and in that there are level brackets. Again not perfect but so far the best solution. So that even in low level pvp if you work to make sure your gear is up to date for your level you are rewarded. Or if you have a main and this is your alt you can get BOAs and not have to worry about updating as much, but still rewards for accomplishing something.

The reason it's that way is because most people need an objective to work towards to keep them interested. If there isn't something newer and better to go for the game will grow stale for most and die.

I get the idea of having a system where being undergeared isn't as big a hamstring as in most mmo's. But is it going to kill this game? At least pvp wise? Most people need a goal to shoot for, something they want to work towards to keep them interested in the game. While WoW is a flawed system it has kept players occupied by dangling ever shinier more powerful gear in front of their noses. What is going to be that carrot on a stick in swtor? Without that carrot I'm affraid the horse will grow bored and start looking around for something else to chew on. Imo if you don't leave enough of a gap between new level 55 / PvE gear and the elite PvP sets your going to lose people. That's just the harsh reality. Most people want to strut around in their full elite set, show off and be "powerful". Rewarded for their hard work by standing out and just having a title over your head isn't good enough for most. If they are getting 2-4 shotted in their hard earned gear by a guy in greens, they will flip their keyboard and yell "F this game, this is BS! What the hell was the point of all that comms grinding if a newb can kill me in a gcd?" People are flawed that's why communism will never work, people have to feel like they are on top, better than the average. Percieved or not.

Hey! I think that was my sorc : P lol Had that happen to me a couple times today. Didn't see anyone around and suddely Retun to medcenter? Two guys standing over my body lol.

Bolster lol I personaly think it's pretty funny for a couple days. Naked PvP. Any longer than a week and it's going to lose it's funny. But for now I am just laughing at the situation. Smugs / Ops are just crazy 10k+ aimed shots geez. It will end though probably tonight so worry not people.

Yea that's how it works. Weapons only or your gonna get rolled by a naked guy. Pretty lame but i think it's just for today. Looks like they are bringing down the servers tonight most likely to address this issue.

What happens when you put on any gear with stats on it as opposed to going naked with just weapons? Any stat screws you, not just exp. That can't be intended.
