Give maybe 1- for solo fp/upr./chapter; 2 for vet.; 3 for master
1 for planetary missions on each planet
Some players dont run ops and pvp - but need gear also for master fp/upr/chapters.
-
So PVE is over? Grinding PVP (even idle) gives much more and faster CP than any other activity. Is this an exploit?
-
Same here - Armomech and Synthweaving windows are empty.

and you aren't any better at all"
Please, read maybe before You will write something. I`ve already explained everything in previous posts (since first one) and dont want to repeat again. BTW - this is not about only me but about entire GS gameplay. And this is EOT. Feel free to insult me, call "troll", "crying kid" or whatever. I didnt attack anyone here personally, just only shared first impression - and point of view.

Ramalina:
"You're conflating several real issues ( poor documentation, inadequate tutorial, your lack of skill in GSF) into one imaginary issue ( devs creating unfair pay-to-win game mechanics)."
So, are "poor documentation" and "inadequate tutorial" only small mistake?. IMO - no - this is deliberate action. Casual players, newbies like me - who are trown into battle - have only one role in this "RPG" - to be "easy targets". Nobody likes that role, and it is hardly surprising that some will pay for less painful progress. BTW - I had many matches like that vs. veterans and well upgraded gunships and bombers. Was trying to do something, but what You can do, if Your team contains only rookies the same like You. And this is not fun, fair match, this is an experience which is forcing many players to pay for "mastered ships" or whatever - what will bring more fun. And please dont tell me, that this is fair and honest gameplay - because You can even read on chat during battle what people write and how angry they are. I don`t want to be an ace, veteran or whatever - just only would like to fly a bit, and play some matches - but kinda fair. There are such many player`s ideas how to improve it, how to change it - but it means nothing, and never be used by BW/EA because there is only one goal - "cash".

"The full game mode is playable from level 1, for free. If you're not patient enough to progress your character, that's your issue."
It doesn`t change a fact, that You can make progress much faster, and less painful, if You have sub and cash. GS is forcing just this way - because as newbe - without even basic training - You are fighting into naked ship vs. veterans and players who are paying for faster progress because they`re not patient enough. They will win a match, not You.
BTW - my point of view is different than Yours. I`m not a veteran, but "cannon fodder".

Verain:
"Dude! He's not talking about the tutorial. His opinion is that the tutorial was made deliberately bad as a cash grab. And to get there, he not only started with false givens, he made a bunch of logical errors on his way. He's not a new player asking for a tutorial, he's claiming he figured out everything about the game, and somehow it's all some cheap pay to win cash grab."
1. Im newbe with GS, but not with entire game and was writing all the time about tutorial or rather lack of that.
2. I really dont know what kind of logic do You prefer - because here there is only one:
- let`s take 2 friends - they have same amount of time, same skills and both playing only GS - one Empire, second Republic but one has cash and sub, second playing as F2P
- if they meet into battle after even 1 week, player (F2P) be "cannon fodder" with his barely upgraded scout ship
3. "Dramatic code changes would be needed for a tutorial that was really and actually solid. They would, for instance, need a whole flight engine for that, along with an AI module that doesn't exist anywhere else."
I was looking for only an option which allows You to try other ships than only scout into tutorial - this is not a problem to change scout for bomber and gunship - the same tutorial but 4 parts - a) scout, b) fighter 3) bomber, 4) gunship. Please, read my first post again.
4. GS is for "cash" - low costs, big profit - some players will pay for their ambitions, dreams, score and for easy wins vs. "cannon fodder" and EA knows that - this is well known business strategy.

Verain:
"What are the odds that you understand the first thing about the game yet?"
I wrote about lack of tutorial - and reason of this, not about "first thing"
"Do you understand the ramifications of the conversion? Do you understand what that's about? Do you understand that many pilots go to other servers, and start from scratch?"
Yes, I do. BTW - these "many pilots" - who go to other servers - probably have already experience and skills.
"You DO need to practice. That's fair, but to imply that the game is "all about cash" is just wrong on every level"
Well, sadly GS is "all about cash" - this is business, must be profitable. GS gameplay here is well designed - with some clever ideas, but totaly broken due to the business strategy - beginners/"Cannon Fodder"/F2Players - VS. - these gamers who pay for fresh meat - even only have subs. There is no true tutorial, because "cannon fodder" should train during battle being easy targets, and they should dream about to be aces like winners. Some of them will pay for upgrades, few will hardly train, some will buy subs, and some will drop that part of game - easy come, easy go - their places soon will be taken by new, fresh, naive "cannon fodder". But, please, dont try to tell me, that this is a fair gameplay with honest rules - because this is only business.

Hey,
thanks very much for responses and clues.
This lack of fine tutorial is painful, but after several hours with GF I understand why they didn`t give it. This is not about fun, this is all about money. Mechanism is simple: very large group of players as "cannon fodder" vs. several, small groups of most patient, and well coordinated, experienced players. If You not pay for "convert SR to fleet requisiton", Your role is to be "cannon fodder" for a long time. As beginner - You have no training, no skills, no upgrades, and small chance to deal with gunships and ofc You have two ways to resolve that problem: pay for Your advance - what is also an illusion, because upgrades are only 1/4 part of success (anyway there is) or fly like sitting duck as reward for veterans who probably have sunk a lot of time and money into that game. And yes, You can be one of them... after some months, if You have an ambition to be, have money and enough patience. Today - I had 6 times in row matches vs. the same premade group of veterans and quess what - every each time into my group were different players with only these 2 basic ships (I had bomber and gunship, but it didn`t help so much). Two times - we were not able even to destroy anything. Some players from my team left battle etc. I can understand their frustration, I was angry also because this is not a PVP, this is not even a game but totally unfair source of one`s income. I felt not like a player - but someone who has allowed to make an idiot from himself.

Hi everyone,
I`m just starting my adventure with GS, but can`t find any option to change ship within tutorial level mission. There is only the scout ship - but where is an option which allows You to check how for. ex. bomber`s components work or gunship?. It`s almost impossible to learn these skills during PVP fight for many reasons - queue time is long, matches are rare, opponents don`t give You an opportunity to train etc.

If you're expecting an easier, more "fulfilling" class, roll Powertech.
QUOTE]
Thats a problem - You can get everything much easier as PT ...
-
Try duel with PT...im guessing your saying i should duel with a powertech
im talking about a team environment 8v8 warzones who cares about duels im a tank im not going to beat most people one on one all im going to do is slow the damage down so my teams dps comes and helps if i do beat them they are stupid but really having goes at tanks for not doing dps is the same as having goes at healers for dps we arnt built for it know your role....... a pt tank might beat me but not in a warzone with a team with me
Mate - 1 powertech can easy kick You off turret or other guarding part - he doesnt need any1 else - you need .
-
i really love my guardian
Try duel with PT....
-
lol, no, it's accurate..
is that so - means - You cant stuck upper with def.,shield, absorb - so - WAR LEADER set is useless.
-
For example: 40 percent shield and 40 percent crit makes 40 percent chance to shield, 40 to crit, and 20 to do normal damage.
But say, 50 percent shield, 60 percent crit makes 40 percent chance to shield and 60 percent chance to crit.
So only on some special abilities or with cooldowns popped is it likely that crit will be sufficiently high enough to bypass shields.
Sorry m8 but is only "theory" - i had 60% shield chance, 60% absorb - and all dmg was cutting me as fresh, milky butter.
-
Dunno what to add..
Valor 81 Full Warhero War Leader ( defence spec gear ).
Still I can do up to 190k protection in match but only 100k dps.
And this protection is useless cause it's all because I'be been healed.
True. The problem is that devs didnt test guardian on wzs, They kinda made "smart slash", and some other "smart crap" instead of beeing clever = testing how things are working on wzs. And now seems that weeks of grinding for War Leader were waste of time, cause class is broken - if def..shields. abs. etc. dont proper work on wzs, why did they put such crappy mods?. Cause they dont have any idea about pvp here. We are testing and paying for that.
Mr Austin Peckenpaugh - Your job here is to create, maintain, and balance class gameplay in The Old Republic - so please take Guardian, put War Leader set and go to wz. You will see "Your creation".

But 99% PTs are FOTM baddies. They should L2P.
-
1. People who don't bother to invest time to researcch the skills and abilities of that class who post anecdotal "evidence" like being killed by two people in 1 GCD..
Oh Homies! "Skills and abilities of that class" are easy "to research" - and this knowledge shows You how PTs OP are on wzs.
2. (just an example for different worlds and that you should have a basic understanding of how other classes work before you try to PvP)..This is a great suggestion but rather for devs team.
People are leaving the game yes. But to show that in the direction of pyros (or marauders as a matter of fact) is like claiming people are unsubbing because they are stunlocked to death...Seems, there are many reasons - but PTs are one of them.
-
The ignorance in this thread and all other nerf PT threads (or whatever AC it is next month) will never allow this logic to flow.
The problem is the estimated 5% of the bad players that play the game and think class x/y/z is OP or broken, come to this form and cry about how something is broke/over powered/unfair, and needs to be nerfed. The other 94% probably don't even come to the forums, unless its to look up some sort of strat or best spec for an AC. Hell they might look for advice on how to counter the class or just move on. .
1. Ofc everyone who posts here about an op class is a bad player - kinda very logical.
2. Ofc everyone must finish UCLA before he will start to pvping cause some sort of devs mistake demands "The New Brilliant Philosophy Of Gameplay".
People are leaving game, claiming on pvp chats, many of them lost fun from pvp. This is fact. You are writing about fiction.
-
Due to dmg boost PT seems like a broken class. Some friends of mine will soon quit a game, cause cant handle such inbalance on PVP. and some other leveling PT. So, lets kinda all roll this class, and drop other classes away. Each day i see more and more PTs on wzs - dont even mention about RWZ where PTs are primary. Noone wanna be as cannon fodder on wzs with: "L2P". Cause ofc noone plays good - if cant match PT. And any ******** "theory" about gameplay here cant stand against simply facts and stats. PT rules - lets all play this crap=- only way to give devs a reason for some changes.

1. How do you think your Guardian spec is perceived by other classes?
PVE - as moderate tank (depends on full team setup)
PVP - as cannon fodder
2. How do you perceive your own spec?
PVE - Im playing Guardian since the beginnig and still have sometimes troubles to keep aoe agro
PVP - its a devs joke especially for these players who had chosed War Leader set. Did anyone from devs team try this class on warzones ? I doubt it. I bet 1000 $ that NOONE has tested guardian on warzones. So, do it guys - try to defending turrets against Powertech, try to survive with Your full augmented War leader set. Try it by yourself - and You will clearly see how much guardian class is broken - heavy armor=means nothing, high defense chance- means nothing, dmg mitigation - its a joke.

Ok, i got such answer - so test please for ex. guardian class on warzones. Heavy armor - means nothing, defense chance - means nothing. There are too many powrtech/mecenaries/agent s - "gas cylinders" etc. Where are Lucas ideas ?
P..S. This is only for Devs - please dont write in this topic - another pointless disscusion among players is not necessary
Any Unassembled Components for fp, planetary missions, uprising and chapters?
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Angevord
Yes, but master lvl chapters with 230+ are hard - its like solo/raiding activity and Unassembled Components should be as reward. Forcing players for ops and pvp as a only way to get proper stuff isnt fair... BTW - GSF players cant even use Unassembled Components to improve their ships and they dont use set bonuses in space.
