No TOR uses a old version of the Hero Engine that had no multi-threading or 64 bit mode unlike the version the Elder Scroll's are going to use that have it native instead of the work around Bioware did that did not work. When every thing is native instead of attached after the fact then it works better so chances are it will be like night and DAY if you compare the two.

My Main is a lvl 50 Gunslinger and i would not bring a one into Ranked at the moment. You have to see ranked through like a fight where every one knows there stuff and plan for that. YOU are going to be under attack at all times vs people with skill lvl's as good as you or better. The thing is you have to see what you bring to the fight compared to others. A Gunslinger has good range and decent to good damage. A Sage has good range, decent to good damage, heals and can support others consistently. Can you truly say that when you get targeted first by the other team that you will not die in a instant even if supported by your team?. The issues are that gunslinger DPS is not so massive that other classes can't compete mixed together with a wonky cover mechanic that roots us in place and gives you no benefit.

Yes and no. If you could actually use the high rez texture's for people then it would look better, but you can't outside of conversations inside there own closed of instance.

I take it you never ran into me.

I don't use cover on mine it is a death sentence. DF for live JO!.

Payday is there. YOU GO PAYDAY! you awesome co-op game you.

IF there are that many then where are they?? My server dose not have more and more people. Only less and less.

I would argue that it is a min or buff at best. It only benefits the Sharpshooter tree and it also only helps vs Aimed shot as it is the longest cast time ability we have (not counting freighter Flyby because i of the CD) and we can get that down to about 1 sec of cast time by specking into the SS tree. For every other tree and build interruptable dose not matter so it is not useful and the fact that i am stuck in one area if going to get me killed.

Yes yes your great every one else sucks and you are SOOOO GREAT!. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones where you have the great gear and you have all the luck in the world. I am also on the top of DPS and great at burst, but the amount of skill i have to bring to each kill compared to other classes FAR FAR outweighs any thing else. I am the kind of person that plays Demon souls, Dark souls with pure no magic, no range builds to test my self, i played a hunter in WoW because they where broken, I tend to play the least picked champ in LoL because i want to try and see if i can find a way to make it work. I am not the most skill full, but i am great at making builds that kind of work and i am good at spotting issues with classes. The problem with GS is not there DPS in it self it is the fact that most of our DPS is weapon Damage and our cover (not counting bugs) only stop's weapon Damage and nothing else. We are saddled with a extra mechanic that dose nothing, but slow our DPS, hamper our Mobility and make us easy stationery targets to pick out in a fight. THAT is the issue. I use DF because it fixes all the issues of the Gunslinger by ignoring our main mechanic, but it has a major weakness that can be a problem if the other side get's more skillful with cleanses.

OH no we are all to gosh darn stupid to have ever done that. I did not setup the cover bar with my abilities at all i filled it with my speeders instead WOOPSY i guess every one, but you are to dumb to be alive. Of course we did that, but the issue is cover breaks on some CC abilities even with hunker down because of the delay between activation and start of the ability so sometimes it dose not start and still goes on CD. Pulse push dose not work either at times, I hit cover, click 4 and nothing happens because cover is broken. I get into cover and shoot at some one and instead of doing damage my ability breaks and my Aimed shot goes into CD any way while never firing. Cover adds nothing to the class while making us more likely to die. Stationery targets always get's targeted first. OH and i am only Valor rank 40 because i play on a designated PvP server in EU and because of some dumb choices from some Spanish guilds we are now outnumbered by a TON and fight people i have known from Warhammer who are PvP masters. So many sorcs, so many BH and so many battlemasters.

I recommend removing it from the game

You have no idea what you are talking about your combo is a waste of time and abilities. Cover will get you killed vs any competent team. Gunslingers can get good numbers, but it not because of our mechanics, but it is inspite of it. GO dirty fighting it will make your life a million times better. It still sucks compared to the 1 ability spammers, but at least you no longer have to use cover or weapon Damage. Sharpshooter is for PvE Dirty Fighting is for PvP.

DF works FINE even with healers. Most people have no goddamn idea how to counter a class as rare as us and BEST OF ALL DF dose not need to use cover.

I will believe it when i see it

There is Better gear and then there's a 15% more Damage, 15%less damage taken and 15% more HP gotten from heals. Some one with a better that's then me will never be the same as 15%

Because we get punished for it. I can go to outlaw and not get any thing and fall even further behind in gear making it almost impossible for me to win or i can grind more WZ's. I would love to have some big fights her and there, but the game can't handle it. During the 1.1 stupidity my guild tried to mount a attack, but because the serves can't handle it we could not do any thing. The game is to gear based and because of that if i stop grinding then i can't win.

I played though all of the Republic quest lines and the where BORING!. Every thing was a "we got our asses kicked" save us SMUGGLER MAN!. There was not a single moment where republic was competent AND THE ENDING! of the main story line was bad.

He is talking about the fact that YOU Are not a hardcore PvP player or seem to be interested in those things there for you can not understand why people like me would roll Republic to play on the underdog side. It is not a attack against you, our Priorities are different.

We have lost some on my server. We went from 2 long queue to 30mins to no queue any more. WE seem to have lost some, but not a massive amount. Then agian i play on the biggest EU server so we already have a bigger inlux of new players then other servers would have.

The thing with cover is that it will get you killed. It gives you a 20% resistance to weapon damage the only issue is ONLY GUNSLINGERS/SNIPERS WEAPON DAMAGE. EVERY one else is Elementalforcemindbullets and we don't reduce that. Now i can do GOOD Damage and top DPS charts, but it is almost always inspite of the system not because of it.

It is a mix of a lot of things. We do not have super great Damage at 50, no real utility, no stealth and we tend to get targeted a lot.

I am a gunslinger. I have the same mobility except i can't stealth into position and there for people target me faster because i die easy. My Utilty is one Limited AoE shield that only works from cover and cover is all kinds of broken at the moment so it is not reliable outside of PvE. Instead you can heal and through that help out in what ever situation or sneak away and heal your self and then go back in. YOU have good DPS, Stealth and Heals. YOU Will be fine.

Not all of us find it great fun. Right now the game is frustrating.

I don't think it is like this. I think it is more a fact of that the team would rather work on the imp classes so they put more time and effort into them. It is a death of a thousand cuts and it is what makes republic over all weaker.

You are out gearing us. I am in a rather biggish guild and i am one of the most geared people in the guild with 8 Champ pieces. the issue is that the other side are getting more wins. Because they have more people they fight huttball between one another so that means one of the 2 imp teams will win and get more commendations. The next time you fight a Repub the wining imp team will now have more gear and there for be more powerful and buff the IMP's all around making it hared for Repubs to fight if you are on a server with fewer people. There is all so the issues of animations being better and shorter on Imp's side like the Dirty kick stun and the Agent's stun. Dirty Kick roots you in place and have a animations while the agent one is almost instant and dose not root you. There is a million of these little Animation and ability problems that favor imps over repubs so it makes it harder all around. It is a million dumb little things and i is hard to do any thing as Repub even for a Warhammer Order player like me who are used to the zerg.
