  1. Friday night ranked seems to picking up steam. We played about 6 or 7 matches total last Friday against Top Gun and Synthesis, and we just missed Goof Troop. Very competitive matches in all games, there is still some strong PvP representation even after server transfers. Hope to see more teams queue up .
  2. Good catch Rig. Hopefully it's just an exploit that BW can patch and not some kind of speed hacking. Regardless, it's sad to see that people are still resorting to this kind of stuff. I hope you guys still crushed them .
  3. We're missing people from our normal ranked team but we'd be interested in some kickball style if that's what you guys are planning. Message me, Dronabinol, Benetration, or Rigpa in game.
  4. Didn't get in on any of the ranked action, but had a couple great games in regs against Midian and a few other imp premades. It's good to see that there are still some pretty strong players/guilds that have decided to stay and PvP on this server.
  5. Solo's Cholos would be in. We'd be open to breaking up our normal ranked team for kickball-style if needed.
  6. Midnight PST would absolutely work for us (at least a couple matches). The other thing I just remembered is that one of our dps has limited availability on the weekends, so I guess weekdays work out better anyways. Looking forward to playing some matches, and welcome to the Harbinger!
  7. We're not from the Oceanic servers, but Solo's Cholos plans to continue fielding a team for RWZ. We are currently in the process of making adjustments to our composition, but in general we will try to queue if another team wants to play. We normally do our raids around 8p PST (-8 GMT), and then PvP afterwards (usually around 10 or 11 PST). I know that with the Oceania time difference it could be tricky to coordinate matches, but maybe we can at least designate a period of time over the weekends that would allow for expanded participation.
  8. It's rape only if it's non-consensual. I'm a little sad you guys are leaving. Despite the lopsidedness of our matches with TaunTauns, I feel like we have made some progress. On a side note, we should try and keep "casual" ranked PvP going on this server. I know there are quite a few good players and guilds that are planning to stay.
  9. It's possible OP was referring to the scenario where your pug team decides that mid has become the de-facto deathmatch arena. It's always lovely seeing half your team fighting mid and completely ignoring the ball when it spawns. Having said that though, in a competitive match we have many a time had to let the other team score a free goal in order to try and control mid. When two solid teams face off, whoever can grab the ball first usually ends up scoring. It's the whole "lose a battle to win the war" thing .
  10. It's actually kind of interesting. From the matches I played yesterday, I feel like not being able to use force stasis/choke to generate singularity ticks was pretty disruptive on my pre-2.0 rotation. That actually feels like more of a nerf than the damage reduction to smash/force sweep. On the other hand, I didn't really see much difference as far as numbers go, but then again damage and hp has overall increased.
  11. I will lay down my arms and dance with you Zig. But any attempts to heal your teammates will be considered as an act of aggression.
  12. I'm down, maybe we should start putting a list together of everyone interested so we get an idea of how many teams we'd have?
  13. Meh, having pvp'ed for quite a while on both sides, I can say that despite what people claim it's really more or less a crapshoot. Trust me, there are plenty of pub pvp'ers out there that would make you want to murder a small furry kitten.
  14. Celtics? Pffft. Everyone knows OKC is the new hotness .
  15. My advice for anyone who is in the 40-50 range would be to stash 2000wz/3500rwz and then wait until 1.4 comes. In 1.4 the WH MH/OH are significantly cheaper (2000 rwz comms) and will not require the battlemaster piece. Hence, you can get both and still have 500 wz comms left over. And yes, grinding out a WH set for your alt on your main definitely helps. I've been able to get 4 WH armor pieces for my alt in the last 3 weeks, and that's mostly doing normal WZs with only a handful of ranked matches.
  16. I'm assuming that spectators are also welcome to come and watch the carnage?

    The other thing that people don't realize is that the "gear grind" is designed to also increase your skill and experience. As you play more and more WZs, you're not just getting comms for gear, but you're (hopefully) also learning how to maximize the potential of your class in the context of team and objective play. This is something that can only come with repetition and practice, there's no way around it. For all those people who say that this game is all about gear, I'm willing to bet if you hand a team of fresh 50s a full set of WH gear and send them against one of the top PvP guilds on their server, they will get stomped just as badly as if they were wearing recruit.

    Yep, I think this goes to show that cross-server would've really helped out RWZ, but at least the server merge was a step in the right direction. I've seen multiple matches where winning/losing boils down to one or two crucial points of the match, which keeps it fun and interesting for both teams.

    RWZ represents the highest level of PvP competition. People who seriously play RWZs aren't doing it for comms, they do it for bragging rights and prestige on their respective servers. The comms are more or less an added bonus, and most people I know will use them to stash WH pieces for their alts. Personally, I think this is the way it should be. If you're trying to farm gear, then do it in regular WZs as intended.
  20. Questing will always be faster in terms of leveling. However, some people truly enjoy PvP so they don't mind the longer leveling time. Personally I like to do a pretty even mix of PvP and questing up to level 40. Then at that point, I mostly do PvP in order to max out my comms for when I hit 50.
  21. While I agree with the spirit of the point you're making, the sad truth is that even if that player had rolled in with full recruit, he/she would've died in maybe 5 GCDs instead of 4 against an augmented WH player. Given the gear gap that currently exists, if you're wearing full recruit you might as well be wearing PvE trash gear. As stated though, the new Mk2 recruit set should hopefully rectify this in 1.4.
  22. It's 12.5% per stack for the first skill point and 25% per stack for the second skill point, so fully specced with 2 points force sweep becomes free .
