Back in the day, it was the side with the least guild members would throw the game. ie. 7 to 8 would queue in two groups. If the guild was split between two sides, the ones on the lesser side would purposely toss the ball to opponents and after a few scores would then leave the match. In the end, the winning side would farm the pug. With that said, one of my toons was in a match this week with one of the ring leaders of that guild. Now that we are even on expertise, I pwwned him at nearly every opportunity. To summarize: If you need to cheat or exploit you are lame. If you quit wz, you are lame. I like macros, wish they were enabled in this game, but if you use hardware macros when they are disallowed you are lame.

I only have one experience with play to win. I used to play a ps3 game called The Fight:Light's out. It was fun and you actually got some exercise playing it. I had spent considerable amount of time in the solo player and felt like I could do very well. I did multiplayer a few times and I noticed that I was getting rocked by guys who never seemed to dodge/weave and just seemed to be hitting to the body. I was like what the world is going on? One day, I noticed that in the play station store was stimpacks you could buy which basically made you invincible. And that was that. I never played multiplayer again. Besides the time it spent to get an opponent, the fact that when you did get an opponent it was highly likely they were just using a pay to win stim pack. If this game keeps the store to be cosmetic for microtransactions, I'll hang around. If it becomes a pay to win game, well I need to do something else with my time anyway.

I am wondering if they will give the option to purchase additional toonslots. I saw in The Secret World which is another EA game that you can buy additional character slots. I say this because I would really like to create two additonal characters so that I can get all 8 legacy characters unlocks without having to delete one. I have a sniper and an operative. I would like to get a mara/sentinel to go along with my jugg. Probably my mistake to make a bodyguard, vanguard, and shield tech since all three are variants of the same class. I'll be honest though, I have a love hate relationship with my bodyguard. There have been times which I absolutely hated playing a healer. Other times I have a lot of fun on it.

Hello I don't really spend much time trying to gank people. I do play on a pvp server for the extra challenge, but I am subject to attack. I'm curious though is there any advantage in giving your companion pvp gear? For instance, one of my toons is full war hero and I am working on a second set of war hero gear. One is dps and the other healing. Currently I am equiping my healing companion with the healing gear. Will the extra expertise help the companion in case of a player open world pvp engagement?

I also mostly solo. I have a guild started and we do pvp together some, but mostly I do pvp daily on 5-6 toons a day and bh dailies in between. Each day goes like this. Log to toon one, get pvp daily, go to black hole, get bh dailies, q pvp and do bh dailies. I do as many bh dailies while waiting in queue for pvp to pop. I usually do three dailies in black hole by the time I've completed the pvp daily. Turn in the bh daily quests, pop fleet pass, turn in pvp daily. Log to another toon. Sometimes guild mates join me in bh or pvp dailies. On the weekends, I do datacrons or planet class quests. With 5 50s, I don't have much time to anything else.

So lets get this straight, most of the good players are leaving. Doesn't that up your odds up for winning?

Here is another chuckle. I'm on my op who is full war hero, augments, etc. I'm just going to log on to it to do the daily. My first match is huttball, we win. Np. Second match is civil war. In the lobby I see someone basically say, "2/4/2 and that him and another are going to be the two going right." I examine his gear and I examine the guy going with him. One is ~1K expertise and the other is 1100 something. I know this ain't going to go well. So rather than going middle and trying to actually kill something, I figure I will go there and just try to sap caps after they pwn our 3 guys at middle. I get off a few darts and even a flashbang but never the less, by the time I could respawn middle is gone. Not to mention the side with the two guys going right is capped. Promptly afterwards, both of the guys who did not take right side node quit the wz.

So yesterday I was in Black Hole doing my daily's in between pvp matches as usual. I was at the mission terminal turning in my quests before I shuttled back to fleet to turn in the pvp daily when I get a duel request. I'm playing on my sin with my dps companion out. I'm like sure, why not. I accept the duel and I am looking for the guy who did the duel request when all of a sudden my companion is pulled up to the 2nd floor above me. The guy who requested the duel is up there with his companion and they litterally toast my companion. I did manage to pull down my opponents companion and was about to kill it when the guy pulls me up top to him. So I figure fair is fair. He pulled me up and I pulled his companion down. He may have toasted mine but his is down below. Now we can go 1v1. Nope, he backs even futher away from the edge of the second floor and his companion warps up to the deck. So now its 2v1. I figure he will kill me. However I rock his world. I kill him faster than his heal companion can keep him alive. Afterwards he says, "how did you keep healing?" I just chuckled. The guy was at PT tank in def stance with dps gear. I am a sin tank in tank stance and gear. My expertise was about 200 higher. Later I logged to my jug to do my pvp daily/bh daily. I used intercede to get up to the deck and see what was up there. While I was up there, the guy was still there. He did not duel me while I was up there.

I sometimes wonder about that statement. I see it a lot. My tanks routinely need three guys to take them down whereas my dps can be easily hurt by one guy.

One of my favorite wow classes was a hunter. I agree. I also played a healer class once in skyrim. Its kind of neat to be an indirect dps'er. I.e, you dps by healing and managing a npc. The only drawback to this is that you would be at a disadvantage in pvp if your pet was not allowed.

I read all of the posts. As I said before. Staying in match results in medals, valor, credits and credit for your daily pvp match. Leaving match results in nothing but wasted time. For those who can not stand to lose, unhappiness with your team, etc. Why not use the time to lure an opponent into a 1v1? In many a failing wz, I've kited an opponent to a part of the map where we can fight in isolation. Even if you die, you can still look at your opponents buffs in the lobby. If you don't know how a particular class plays examining their buffs will give you some insight.

And that is what I don't understand. If your time is valuable, which is better? o Stay in match, max as many medals as possible. Outcome valor, comms, cash, (1/2 or 1/6 dailye quest) and experience. o Leave match, endure two loading screens and time played for naught. John

Which stim, adrenal, medpack are the best that can be used in WZ and where do you get the schematic?

Thanks.

The forum post gui had a selection box for each crafting skill. Not sure why it does not say all crew skills instead of splitting by each specific type.

Thanks for the info.

There is a bug where you can die and then be stuck on the ground in the spawn lobby. Its happened to me three times since the last patch.

Legacy unlocks for o Bonus experience in WZ for each of my lowbie toons o Fast trip to black hole for each toon o Ship mailbox and the number one reason o Jet boots every 30s

I have six toons at max crewskills. So its not great, but it does enable me to equip all my companions with gear and I don't have to play the ah. I also pvp and if you are patient, you can really twink out all your toons from 10-49 in pvp. As it is now though, I just enjoy the aspect that I have a good undertstanding of all the classes. I do wish they had 9 slots though. I have one warrior and two ia - one sniper and one operative. I would like to learn about mara's but I don't have one. I picked trooper and its too much my like my shield tech.

Hello I can buy bh barrels from the daily vendor in black hole with daily tokens. Somewhere I read that you can reverse engineer these to learn how to make them. However when I hover over them they say "no research available". Outside of the crewskill vendor where I can learn additional armstech recipes? John

I'm guessing the reason is this. They go in to the match and quit so that they lose rating. After they have lost enough rating, they go back and fight for real. If they beat a team, they then gain more rating than they lost.

The way I see it, a mara who gets killed is an upset mara. They seem to keep coming back for more. You do realize a bh can instant cast remove their bleed and heal in one key press, right? Not to mention instant cast kolto shield, free heal and after 30 shots of rapid shots, we can aoe heal/shield. We also have electro dart which is tech dmg and low heat which is also instant cast and can be done on the fly. So it seems to me, its better to kite them than stand there trying to heal some other guy trying to kill them.
