Bioware you have managed to take most of the fun out of wzing by making gear meaningless http://imageshack.us/f/69/bolsterw.jpg/ Nice stats for exploiting bolster with low lvl crap. 1820+ exp, over 1300dmg and 40k health. I was in a RANKED WZ last night against a team who were using the same gear exploits to make it so their tanks had 40k+ health. I don't know what could posses your programmers to think bolstering is a good idea for 55 lvl wzs. It has no PLACE in 55 warzones, for EXACTLY the reasons I list above. You've taken a lot of the fun out of wzing at this point, as its not enjoyable at all to see players exploiting your new found bolster system. Ridiculous

Yes. Stuns and ccs r the essence of swtor. Stun wars ftl.

Thats not wut was happin this mornin

I'm sure u will get a challenge by I AM LEGEND.. But only if ur alone and 6-7 of them can gank u.

1 i was drunk last night when i wrote that..and i apologize lol 2 the intent of this post was to vent and possibly look for any kind of feedback with regards to this current situation plaguing my gameplay recently. I must have really been bored to think I would get any kind of subjective feedback from a post like this, as I do now see the irrelevancy of this thread, and will once again simply avoid these terrible forums

wow bubbles all i can say to ur post is that... the picture via the link on your signature is just awful

more so now hence the post imo

soon to be elite WL elitepurepwnage L33T i was bored at work and made this post

Is it just me.. or have you guys noticed that there r a heck of a lot more baddies (especially on the imp side) in WZs over the last couple weeks. Is it the simple fact that a lot of the f2p and new accounts r reaching 50 and havent figured out really how to play their class yet? I mean it's becoming a pandemic of bad players/pvpers getting into every wz I play. A typical WZ in the past might have had 1-2 bads on average, but lately its closer to 3-4 in each group that don't do dmg, dont do objective, dont do anything useful at all. I know the bads dont frequent the forums..hell i dont frequent the forums often.. so I am not gonna bother calling out specifics or giving advice, just wanted to call attention to this outbreak of contagious badness that seems to be lingering around Prophecy of Five. -Mez

Thread after thread of ppl hatin on the smash.. all over the forums, every day new threads. Its quite funny to me as i play one of the top Juggers on my server to see everyone hate on one ability. and thats just it,..its one ability on one build, and in order to crit smash 5k+ regularly u need the gear, augments and some luck to pull it off. And in order to maximize it, a Jugger needs to sacrifice his other melee attacks and 1v1 ability to do so. Most ppl dont realize that a Scoundrel and Vanguard classes have more single target burst dmg abilities then a rage Jugger.. and EVERY OTHER class has 2-3-4 ways to avoid an incoming smash if ur quick and good enuf to see it coming. Lets turn this thread to the real issue that is NOT Smash, but to the REAL OP Stun Bubble abilities. Thats worth a nerf or 2 over nerfin smash for a 3rd time. Food for thought

A cc/stun combo being a defining ability for a class? that statement is almost laughable when most classes (except warriors) have more then one stun and rooting ability... but i guess u gotta play a sorcerer to have a good opinion on that... which i do not. CC/Stuns and now this stun bubble is more OP then any other ability in this game. Resolve aside (as its been broken since the launch of swtor) the fact that you can be stunned/rooted for 10 consecutive seconds, with no chance to resist is just ridiculous. This is the only mmo ive played where there is no chance to resist a stun, and there is no diminishing returns after being stunned initially. Just food for thought.

snipers r basically useless as most ppl who could play them well dont roll a sniper for obvious reasons. Imperials are severely lacking in good healz.. as most kids roll with their baddie dps classes for the repubs they actually lack dps cuz most of them roll hybrid/tanks or healz

I realize that i could do this, and was planning on it, but questioning the loss in expertise for strength.. and/or str for power

I have already done that.. a couple times, and with the offhand. There is seriously nothing for me to spend comms on anymore which is why i think i could do more dmg if i swapped expertise for str. but i dunno if i wanna swap str for power either

Does anyone have a good reference as to optimizing your burst dmg when running rage spec? I am currently in Full WH gear with my main stats being 1759 str, 727 power, 1321 expertise i currently have a mix of str/power augments and wonder if i should go all out str vs all out power (i am focusing on increasing burst dmg). As well i think my expertise is a little high and was gonna sub 50 expertise for roughly a 30 str and 20 endurance increase.

i love my new populated server. love pwning all these new repubs on The Fatman. for all the complaints about urn name change.. all i say is lol.. get over it. bioware u did an excellent job allowing free transfers. keep it up!!

I agree I made the mistake thinking it was a NICKNAME.. and didn't know it would actually show up beside my name. They should give u more warning before ur allowed to select it.

U can bolster all u want.. buff the lvl 11's to have 12000 health, but at the end of it all it still doesn't even out.

and 0 understanding? ive been playing mmo's and pvping for 10 years.. so i know a little something about it.. as for the programming part of it? if swtor programmers were smart brackets and premade queues would be in the works already.. and should be implemented sooner rather than later. the key to mmo pvp is balance. and it is not even close to being balanced atm IMO.

So Aghar.. there is nothing wrong with low lvls queueing up with max or high lvls... i dont see the logic in that.

Allowing a pvp premade quild of lvl 45-50s queue, in the same warzones as lvl 10-X is just rediculous. takes all the fun out of warzones and pvp in general.

Now bracket it by lvl make a seperate queue for premades now would be nice and no i haven't read any threads about it, nor do i care too just fix it

I just picture the nerds sitting there pulling their hair out over the 6 hours of downtime.. poor little guys =[
