What I have been seeing so far: PuG vs PuG in the Hutt Ball warzone = the team with a rolling operative wins if the other team does not have one.
Just take a look at the "xxx left the warzone" messages after the first rolling score, seconds after the warzone starts.
-
One of the main problems imo is the missing match making system.
Last weekend I got my fresh zero-geared 55 character teamed up in a PuG where noone had > 25k health.
Opposing team was a top-geared rep premade... We barely managed to hold east for 30 seconds in Novare and did 1 kill...compensated high numbers with deaths
Next match - 7 people from my team were the same, as well as on the enemy team. Luckily it was hutt ball so we lost within 2 minutes.
The next 4 matches - we had always the same people against the same premade..
5th match - hutt ball again! This time however they scored 5:0, then got the ball to our goal line and farmed us for 10 minutes while passing to each other without scoring... very noble
Somehow though noone from our team left the WZ so all of us contributed for a respectable amount of deaths and had tons of masochistic fun -
Is it really going to be 4v4, 2v2 etc?
Because as far as I can remember the user base wanted global world pvp with big objectives, territories, planets etc. Or did people actually want pvp on an even smaller scale than now?!
Many advantages of certain classes and skill trees are only viable in fights with many players, so they won't have any places in these small arenas. Just imagine mid geared lethality operative and an arsenal merc entering an arena against two top geared infiltration shadows.. I doubt the merc and the op will ever queue for arenas again

Keep this thread ON TOP. Guardians and Juggs rely on their leaps to be accurate AND apply it's appropriate effects. when it doesn't, the classes are far less effective.
... you probably need to stack more accuracy as someone noted
-
I saw this one repeatedly yesterday too - a jugg from my team in HB was charging/interceding people and always landed in the most unexpected places...even in the fire pit. Was really funny looking I hope they fix it soon, 'cause poor leapers (I have one too) are currently providing for some big laughs in Wzs.

When on my smasher I usually put a lot of pressure on most scoundrel healers, but recently met one that was like chuck norris - he was not guarded and didnt move(!), and while I was smashin, ravaging and force screaming at him (untaunted) he just kept healing himself and his team...could not believe my eyes! Most healers run around, stun you, vanish, but this guy.. healed from cover most of the time and didnt die a single time, although they had no other healer. Looked like some kind of a bugged kolto volcano
-
Matches with premade teams are usually so very one-sided that lately I have been quitting all WZs where I get teamed up with a premade or I start playing just for fun, like testing in how many seconds i die if i dont use def skills and dont fight back, exploring the area and so on. Otherwise its absolutely boring and wasted time.
-
I usually loose most of the time, because es soon as I start winning with one side I switch to my toons on the other. And the fact that I have twice more imperial than rebel toons pretty much shows, which side is way stronger on my server.
The only thing I don't like while on a loosing spree is that on the imp side far more people seem to lose their temper and start being impolite to other players (throwing senseless insults and such). With the rebels I have also had bad days, but insults are rare. More mature players I guess...
-
I'm seeing this on my server as well . Since 2.0 hit suddenly there are so many good players around and not always the same top geared no-lifers- that did premades over the last months.
-
Read it and weep, Bolster has provided tools for people to become better. Sure gear progression is fun if you like that old ball and wax. But when it comes to PVP when a game needs good players the skill will over trump gear now in 2.0 till 55.
I like 2.0 and think this was the best move for this game, now even the casual player can contribute alot more without the gear gap.
*If you want a gear progression then go raid, or get 55.
*If you want competitive PVP then makes some alts and enjoy the ride to 55.
*If you can't handle the heat of PVP and the changes, then go to another game that don't care about balance.
Bolster has actually balanced PVP in SWTOR, thats right all the classes are viable now.
All the crying and complaining is retarded, and TBH this change saved this game and made it 10 times better than before.
Sure Bioware catered to the casual, and made the game easier to PVP in with all the classes, and if you are bad now then you was bad before.
If people can't handle these great changes then don't let the door hit you where the sun don't shine, cause it can't get any better than this in a mmo.
What you think Warcraft has balance?
Yea thought so.

lol bolster
in PvP
I totally like the new bolster system. I quit the game a month ago, because it just isn't my thing to destroy ungeared players. Being a subscriber from the beginning I already have several geared toons. The outcome of a WZ was always dependent on who has more ungeared players on their team. So lately I stopped playing for objectives and was just trying to isolate another geared player for some 1:1 - usually always the same min/maxed guys.
Yesterday I logged in again - and pvp was so much fun! No stupid gear anymore and everyone on a equal basis. played just 5 matches, but absolutey enjoyed it! I had fights on an equal basis with guys I had never seen before! One match i got teamed up with a top geared premade and we almost lost!
I hope it stays like that.

Last weekend I inspected an AS Vanguard on my team to check his gear (I have a PT alt). While we were in the starting area waiting for the speeder in CW he had 100% critical chance! I thought this must be some graphical stats bug and decided to reinspect later.
After capping mid I inspected him again and he had 40% critical chance.
Some minutes later I inspected him again and he had 100% again!
At the end of the match everyone had 100-200K damage and he had 500K+.
Is this some special Vanguard ability that I don't know of?!
Hopefully I will get teamed up with him again and make some pics.

Voidstar, Novare Coast and the Boring Hypergate all have this HP debuff on respawn. What is the point of this??
-
The CC is bad enough in normal WZs, but when you face coordinated groups with mumble the game becomes unplayable and absolutely devoid of any fun factor.
-
had something similar several times - fighting around at mid at 100%HP and then suddenly - defeated with Kill - 0%
..and then wait 653634563 hours to respawn...only to see that after the screen is down there are 4 seconds left for the yellow bubble to grow fat...so wait more...than run around a loong time to rejoin the game....doh, i often get so bored in this WZ!
-
I really like the new patch.
Removing the gear gap is a great move that finally makes PvP in this game accessible to new players and old players that want to level new toons. I played several matches yesterday and it was much more competitive and fun.
I guess the times where WHs in PUGs first look at their teammates health and if more than 2 people have less then 18k HP they leave the WZ will soon be history
-
This seems highly exaggerated to me.
I play on an EU server and never had the slightest problem with any languages - Russian, Italian, Spanish, German or whatever.
I even find it refreshing to see that I am indeed on a server where all Europe is on and not only Great Britain citizens. Actually I have learned some nice expressions in other languages by being able to communicate with a heterogeneous bunch of people.
And about the Russian people being rude.. Again my general impressions are quite the opposite.
Any general statements in this regard are pointless.

At level 50 sorc would be fun if you:
1. (Healer) Enjoy being a running around healer - admittedly very annoying for the enemy team.
2. (Utility) Enjoy spamming bubbles, dying, respawning and spamming bubbles again. Then log into the forum and read the complaints about the resolve system with a satisfied grin
3. (DPS) Enjoy throwing mighty lightning strikes that ... tickle other people so they can find their way easier to you and show you proper DPS in the form of a smash, ambush, rail-shot etc.
4. (<18yo) Enjoy spending your whole life grinding and modding your gear to the ultimate stats in the galaxy to finally accomplish what other advanced classes do from the beginning.
Honestly I would personally only call fun the possibility to rescue the ball handler to a better position, considering you live long enough to do it.
-
Sorcs are imo unfortunately the squishiest and most underpowered AC in the game. I kill them 1v1 even with my merc healer who I play once in a month or two. I really wish it wasn't so, because I always thought they should be the strongest class in the game (at least by my understanding of the Star Wars lore). Back in the days full of purple lightning it was hard to cap anything, but at least it looked damn epic and Star Wars like!
I really hate the fact that all sorcs have become healers that run around like girls when you throw an eye on them
Have you ever seen a sorc try solo cap a node and get the defender below 80%HP?
P.S.: I dont have a sorcerer myself.

Valor based pvp queues?
/sign
-
I also agree with the OP after seeing so many matches of the same Valor > 90 premades on my server playing non-ranked all the time against new players with 14K HP.
With my BM/WH gear I manage live for a while do stuff now and then to have some fun, but the new guys often rage and are never seen again.. So we really need a change here - either valor based queues, or no pre-mades..whatever.
-
I played 8 matches yesterday. In 6 of them we had 7 people on our team and we lost each one.
-
Great changes for the lighting build! GJ Bioware in making the class again viable in pvp!
20sec for force speed + self heal + polarity shift grants immunity to interrupts -> you will be indestructible, will be able to kite every class without a problem!
-
I'd love to have gear-free, skill based star wars pvp.. From how pvp has been evolving during the last 9 months however I doubt this will ever come. Until now we have only had - 1 additional WZ, nerfs and moar gear. Nothing else.
Assassin vs Shadow 1v1?

Had that countless times on my shadow.
And if you fail with "the big opener" dueling for the node becomes actually a challange
