This is a really annoying bug. Like people have said--how does something like this get through into a patch? This lowers the quality of life for every player of every class; how does this not warrant an immediate fix?

I sometimes get past the log ing screen (though I got the same error) and when i do, I can't get past the loading screen.

This.

This.

Says the guy who doesn't know the difference between "loose" and "lose".

Games should *never* start with an uneven number of players. Period. We figured this out in 3rd grade kickball. I wonder how long it will take Bioware to achieve the same wisdom.

This is the only correct answer. /thread

I agree with the OP that this queue system sucks and needs to be fixed ASAP. In 3rd grade kickball we knew how to pick even teams, why is it so hard for the adults at Bioware? I disagree with the OP on one point, however. I don't believe the system waits until there are 8 people queueing per side. I think the system actually pops when you have 5. There are a number of times that I have been in WZs with the same 5 people in multiple games. I could be wrong, but I believe the current system is even worse than the OP thinks.

Yes. Blame your teammates instead of the fools at Bioware who decided to let games begin when it's 5 on 8.

Total awesomeness!

O M G This is the best thing I have ever seen on these forums. /hat tip

No. They were bad even then. They are much worse now.

/thread

There is a thread like this on the PvP board that hit several dozen pages, mostly filled with "I agree. Please fix." I hope the message finally gets through.

This is the most inadvertently funny thread I have seen in a long time. Thanks for the laugh, all.

Nonsense! Don't quit the game OP! Just roll Imperial on Master Gnost-Dural. This will improve my gaming experience considerably. . .since I play Republic.

This is the first real counter to the OP's original argument. I think I agree with the OP, philosophically, and I am definitely against more same-faction WZs, because taking away incentive for the factions to balance numbers-wise is foolish. But this guy makes a good point--it *is* fun to take out the punks in your own faction once in a while. Oh well, we get plenty of Rep on Rep Huttball on my server to accomplish that.

And shouldn't you actually read what he wrote before commenting on it?

I have a feeling you didn't read the OP's post.

I don't usually say this, but I think the problem lies between your keyboard and your chair. *Any* kind of bounty hunter vs. a correctly played watchman specced sentinel is a free kill 1 on 1 (barring an extreme gear difference). It's not even close. Had you made your post about snipers, I might have agreed, as they are our hard-counter, but not bounty hunters.

Oh yes we do! As a watchman specced Sentinel, I fear nothing but snipers. Other classes can beat me sometimes if they get the jump on me, but nothing compares to snipers.

Only class I fear They shoot me and I can't leap Do not buff my bane

This. Making all PvP gear equal and easily attainable is the smartest thing I have seen in an MMO in a long time.

I think this is Bioware's response to the imbalance that the OP is talking about. It is an issue at the moment, but after 1.2, it hopefully won't be.

A fix for your title: All bad PvPers are ****ed. You entitled, whiny, no-talent crybabies who think your gear makes you good are going to feel like you dropped the soap in the prison shower after patch 1.2--especially you players who "achieved" your BM ranking due to the Ilum glitch the day 1.1 hit. Those of us who had to grind our BM title by fighting BMs are going to kill you again, and again, and again, and there's nothing you will be able to do to stop it. Welcome to the new era of fair fights. Welcome to your nightmare.
