it is more important to introduce new cartel market **** every week than to fix actual game breaking bugs. this game will be melked to the point it is no longer profitable and then it will be shut down. i mean how many people are actually working on swtor? if it takes them over half a year to do class balancing and then they say "sorry guys there will be no class balancing in 5.2 cause the only poor 7uck working on class balance just got a kid, sucks to be a customer, but hey here is some new cartel market stuff you can buy in the meantime" **** this game i already regret reesubbing for 1 month. glad my subscripotion ends in 1 week

maybe queue pops arent happening so often cause if you dont play a merc or sniper or sage healer your chances of having fun and being able to compete in ranked are slim to none

it has been reported since december. they still havent fixed it. i think you are a little optimistic with "a few weeks". and i highly doubt eric musco would read any PM´s i send him

you can replicate it at any time. you need to do something specific and then another player in the queue gets a queue pop. the one joining is not at fault, cause for him it looks just like a normal queue pop. you need to do something from within the warzone. what i have heard is that this bug/exploit is around since 5.0 and on the T3-M4 (german server) you only play 8v8 in Odessan Proving Grounds. every other warzone most definately has more than 16 players in it

it has nothing to do with people leveling up while they are in queue. i play for 2-3 weeks now and so many people cant level up constantly. it is actually pretty easy to get more than 8 people into your warzone. believe me

german server T3-M4. and it is not just that screen i have http://imgur.com/a/ZtdXA they keep coming every day

mercs are not broken. the class is not op. people only play it because it is so beautiful to look at the animations of that class http://imgur.com/a/feBnL

but it also happens in lvl 70 bracket. where you sometimes play 10vs9 or 10vs8 or even 11vs9. its not just mid bracket

4 heiler hin oder her. er hat halt recht. du siehst halt nur noch söldner sniper und paar gelehrten heiler (vorzugsweise 2-3 pro bg) das spiel ist so anti melee geworden dass du außer shadow/asssa um bisschen zu trollen eigentlich so wie gut wie keine melees mehr siehst. hier und da mal nen vereinzelter jugg oder mara aber die sind halt auch wirklich die seltenheit. das balancing muss viel schneller angepasst werden. ich spiel erst wieder seit 2-3 wochen aber so weit ich gehört habe ist der söldner und der sniper seit dezember so behindert stark und dass da immer noch nix passiert ist ist halt traurig. man hätte ja z.b. den reflect shield einfach mal dem PT geben können, weil der brauch es und dem söldner nehmen. und auf die probe hätte man ein cd legen können. ist jetzt nicht so schwer

happens on both sides. this bug has apparently been around since december. i started playing 2 or 3 weeks ago and i am amazed this hasnt been fixed yet. it is kinda sad that a game with great potential like swtor doesnt get the proper money to be improved by a good amount of developer. instead EA kinda just melks what is left from the game

in guild wars 2 gear also doesnt matter at all. that game is not very successful in the pvp section if i recall right. gear progression is a viable part of any mmoRPG. like i said, there are enough games with equal settings for pvp. for example every shooter out there. starcraft, warcraft 3, and all the mobas. so why do you want to make swtor the same? it cant compete with the listed games if it goes in the same direction

yes absolutely i want to stomp fresh leveled fotm chars. they deserve it. for the 2nd part i will try and explain one more time. if you still dont get it i will not waste my time anymore with you. right now, there are a lot of fotm players i know. but with the gearing system now in place, if a balance patch hits and the fotms get nerfed they have 2 choices a) they switch to new fotm and get smashed for weeks cause of gear imbalance and that is what they deserve b) they stay on their class and experience pvp from the end of the food chain, that is also what they deserve with max bolster all they have to do is endure a few hours to reach max level again and be on top of the food chain cause they got their new fotm class ready while people that only play 1 or maybe 2 classes are always at the recieving end if you want PvP with equal footing go play starcraft, battlefront, cod, battlefield, dota league of legends or heroes of the storm. those are all games where the only thing matters is skill and those games dont take ages to balance stuff i cant lose the feeling you are one of those cowards that want to reroll new fotm after every patch and dont want to get beaten into the ground during the gear grind. you want to have everything without doing anything. so you can feel better because you "stomped" the noobs again, and that is not because your class is better but because you are so goddamn good. have a nice day

i dont really raid. i mainly pvp

no need to be offensive buddy. i will try to explain my point of view for you. an essential part of mmorpgs is gear progression. you start out as a "weak" character and over time, you get stronger by leveling up and getting better gear. for me that is what a rpg is about. doing stuff and getting rewarded. for example i only play assassin/shadow. i dont want to play another character. but i would despise the fact that a fresh lvl 70 can rip me apart in pvp because his class simply has the stronger tools. at least he should earn doing that. be it by grinding his way up the pvp gear chain or something else. i dont care. but for him to reach lvl 70 and blow my character away just because he plays class x and i play class z how is that fair? aaaaaaand for the FOTM part. dont you play pvp nowadays? i dont know which server you play on. but i play on the only german server left and the amount of sage healers and mercs/snipers is ridicoulus. if you believe me or not, thats the way it is. if gear wouldnt matter at all people would always play the op classes cause people like to go the way with the least resisitance. most people like to play the easy game. ofc there will be a few people that will only play their favourite class, but the majority will play FOTM because, as i mentioned earlier, it would just be unfair to lose just because class x is stronger than class z. tell what you think, how often would it take the average joe to get deleted by the FOTM class before he decides to also play fotm. at least the way it is now, people that play merc/sniper because they are very strong will either go through the gear grind again when their classes get nerfed and they switch to the new FOTM or they will stick to their classes and finally be on the recieving end. as i already said, just look what happened to WoW pvp. they did the exact same thing, they took away gear and with that they took away any room for individualisation

just look at what happened to WoW pvp. they did the exact same thing and pvp participation has been at an all time low even though the current expansion had very high subscription numbers compared to the 2 expansions before. why do you guys want BW to do the exact same mistakes that WoW did. i dont want a WoW clone only with light sabers. swtor copied so much bad decisions from WoW already. i for one would definately quit this game forever if they take away gear progression from pvp. everybody would play FOTM cause it would be so easy to just level every class to max level and then switch to the FOTM bandwagon every few months

i still think changing the bolster will kill pvp altogether. the same thing happened with WoW. the pvp got so stale. eveybody had the same stats, every spec was the same. there was no individual playstyle. and that is boring as hell. it will also promote FOTM play even more. the amount of snipers and mercs right now is ridicoulus and when gear doesnt matter at all what would stop the majority of players to just level each class to max and play the one that is on the thrown of the FOTM cycle? do you guys really enjoy playing warzones with 2-3 sage heals and 7-8 ranged (snipers merc)? if they up the bolster and make gear not matter at all the little rest of pvp that is left in this game is going to die sooner than you think. look at WoW, since legion droppted and gear didnt matter at all in PvP the numbers of players participating in pvp have dropped to an all time low even though the expansion was one of the best pve wise and had high subscription numbers. pls dont make the same mistake blizzard made. there is enough moba and shooter games where everybody starts the game on equal footing. if Bioware only copies the things blizzard did this game will never get higher subsciption numbers. bioware needs to distinguish itself from blizzard by making other choices

spiel nen söldner, gibt ja noch nicht genug von der OP klasse

yeah ofc there will be a few people that dont follow the fotm train, but you cant deny that even now with the horrific gearing system there are a ton of mercs and snipers. and when gearing will become obsolete even more people will switch to fotm. hell i would switch to fotm if it wouldnt take ages to get gear

i really dont like the fact that everyone having 246 or 250 bolster. that would take away one major thing from the game and that is gear progression. if i want to play a game where everything has the same i will go play a shooter or a moba. what that would do is that everyone, and this time really everyone, will just roll the FOTM class cause there is no downside to just level a new character to 70 and then you dont need to worry about gear cause you already got BIS or almost BIS. then you will see warzones with 100% FOTM chars if i play an mmorpg i want my character to get better the more time i put into him. i dont want every shadow to have the exact same stats. thats what killed wow pvp. because there is no room for you personal flavour. i like to experiment with different stats. maybe i will try a full crit build, maybe 4 weeks later i will try a full power or full alacrity build. i think you get my point. that said, i think the better solution would be to increase the UC drop rate from warzones so that you dont need to grind 5 months to get your gear. shorten the time it takes to max out the gear for your character so that ALTing becomes affordable but not for free

flamen ist immer gut für die community. ein ordentliches feindbild brauch man da schon mal und wenn man den ganzen tag nur gegen fotm klassen läuft sei es mir verziehen dass mir mal die pferde durchgehen

du hast mir den ein oder anderen schmunzler entlockt

8 mercs/commandos ist halt nicht so geil. egal wie sie auf die teams verteilt sind. war ja auch ein knappes game wie du siehst. mir gehts eher darum, dass die klassen balance halt echt kacke ist keine ahnung woran es liegt, aber auf imp seite hast du halt kaum premades. klar meld ich auch mal zu zweit, dritt oder viert an, aber dann haben wir halt meistens 4 dds. keiner mag halt nen heiler spielen von den leuten mit denen ich zocke

gefühlt spielt man mit random imps nur noch gegen minimum 1 premade im fotm setup bei den reps. egal welche uhrzeit, man sieht ständig irgendeine premade . selbst mittags um 12. spaß macht das leider nicht wirklich als imp. oder man spielt gegen sowas hier http://imgur.com/a/ZtdXA keine ahnung ob die bei BW schlafen oder einfach kein pvp spielen

i have read that crit is the way to go on everything. no accuracy, no power, no alacrit. is that correct?

der tip mit dem /cjoin lfg war sehr gut, vielen dank. habe jetzt auch endlich einmal den xeno in 8sm und 16hc gemacht und glücklicherweise einen 242 gürtel bekommen. dennoch habe ich das gefühl, dass der server nicht mehr so voll ist wie es früher war.
