same problem as wow arena. it comes down to group makeup and being extremely lame with cc. i mean, skillful. yeah.

No im saying lowbie pvp means nothing. Pyros and maras are the top two classes at 50 right now, no one can really make any reasonable arguments otherwise. But from past experience, bioware is not going to listen to any nerf suggestions. They are going to pull some crazy nerfs out of their asses that make no sense and i have a sniper alt ready for that likely scenario.

lowbie pvp means nothing. health pools are tiny, theres no expertise on gear, and everyone hits like theyre level 49. level 10 snipers can aimed shot crit for like 5k.

yeah stuns are out of control. not gonna lie i do it just to be a douche. if a guy just got out of a stun at like 30% without being resolve capped i'll just unnecessarily stun him again so he dies like a chump.

I totally agree. Each patch up to 1.2 really was an improvement (besides ilum) and made me think they were going to to take this game up to its potential. I actually resubbed the three monther like 2 weeks before 1.2 based on that trend. Then 1.2 came out and i cancelled after 3 days. 1.3 didnt make me resub either. They really have no idea what they are doing with pvp.

just ragequit and queue up again.

General strats - fight 500 feet from any objectives - mark enemy healers, then totally ignore them - dont read anything about how resolve works just spam your mezzes on enemies actively taking damage Voidstar specific for attack - go north and kill everything - we have no idea where they will spawn so once everythings dead just stand around and wait for someone to plant Novarre specific - for the initial attack split the group evenly across all three nodes and send one to fight on the hill with the red buff - dont aoe in the capture zones, you might interrupt their capping and stall long enough for your reinforcements to arrive - when they are holdong east and west send strike teams of two at a time to the console ten feet from their spawn Alderaan specific - leave the healer with 13k hp to defend alone so you can attack the third node and fail at it - we have no idea where the side bikes will land so everyone start capping when the last defender dies - always stick around to 6v1 the last attacker when your team has two turrets Huttball specific - stand on the goal ledge to shoot down when a warrior/jedi has the ball in your pit - when its tied at 30 seconds left just continue fighting in the corner its cool - never run ahead of your carrier, just stay on top of or behind him - when theres an enemy carrier on your catwalks being attacked throw flashbangs at him to fill his resolve

Leap immunity says hi too.

The root and immunity to leap is key. If your idiot teammates give that marauder full resolve then the merc cant do ****.

If its what im imagining you are kinda floating around with your knees bent right? You need to find some place to drop off of. Some airtime will reset your run animation to normal and youll be able to crouch again.

No, do not be loyal to your class and find some crappy spec that you dont want to play. They have no idea what they are doing and their balance changes make no sense from an actual gameplay perspective. If your class blows then just reroll. Under 50 pvp is pretty fun. Then when you hit 50 make an alt of the next best class for dps or heals or whatever you want to do. This should be fun, not aggravating. And if its not fun then tell them with your wallet not the forums.

Whatever. If you nerf pyros those guys will just become maras or snipers and make you complain about them again. Recruit and bm pyros are a joke. Auged war hero pyros are destroying people. They have min/maxed their gear and spec to get the most performance out of their advanced class. And if their advanced class is made to underperform they would be retarded to stay instead of going to the new top performer.

Gear is the difference between some douchebag hopping away from you laughing while never going below 80% and him stopping to /say how OP you are right before you send him back to the spawn.

Theres exaggeration on both sides imo. If geared powertechs tell you theyve never killed anyone in five seconds theyre full if **** cause i do it pretty often. Yes our opener takes 3 globals for us to set up but from the victims perspective its pretty much instant. Then theyre at half health or less depending on gear and it's very possible to finish them inside of a stun if they dont break it or get outside assistance. At the same time i wasnt doing this in recruit gear or even battlemaster, which has too much gorram accuracy. Geared, smart, minmaxed auged powertechs are the ones tearing through bads. But i would bet if you put these players in any other class except mercs they would be doing the same thing. Ive seen good players of every class except mercs stand out from the crowd of mediocrity. If a powertech is killing you and you are not a merc/commando you need to get better gear or blow more cooldowns. If you are a merc/commando then reroll.

Haha yeah ive already started reflexively running into green ones if i have meleers on me. i especially love orbital strike.

I just *********** got home from work i dont want to do more in my video game

Im pretty sure most of the people ive destroyed in five globals while hopped up on damage buffs never saw it coming.

I gotta agree. You cant just jump in to pvp and like it. Just yesterday we had one of those quest greens 50s and people were like dude really? And he says something like "i dont do this much" and leaves the warzone. The overwhelming response of those still there was relief. Thats a pretty ****** situation for a game imo. We need a grind to keep playing? Really? So the game is not fun and the only thing we want is to farm gear? Or do you just like to crush noobs? Face it pvp is not a priority for them. So why dont they make it a ****** minigame where everyone gets bolstered to the same level? Oh because some psychologist says that we need a grind to keep subs up. Same guy who said random reinforcement gear bags was the best way to encourage playing behavior right? Look how that **** turned out.

the nerf to +damage stacking should be fine. when i grab the red buff, activate all my relics/adrenals and ****, geared players will be down to half health before they even know i've decided to let loose. ungeared players are just dead before they can reasonably respond with anything. without all that then im just ok. these insane 5k crits are happening without a doubt, but it's because the guy is blowing all his cooldowns on you, not because any specific talent or anything.

the game doesn't register target clicks on button press, but on button release. if your cursor is over their character for a split second that you press the button and then they move out of it by the time you release the button you get nothing. whos idea was this? i have no idea but its stupid. tab sucks too. there's a setting somewhere that will autotarget the nearest person whenever you press an attack button. you can also just spam the **** out of the mouse button while you move the mouse crazily around the target until you get it, i do that when tab selects 4 targets i dont want.

People keep saying you're doing 50% less damage. You're doing the same damage, just 50% of it is going to the tank instead. So if you are too noobish to separate the two, then just aoe them both and the tank takes 150% damage. Good tanks may drop guard here in which case you can burst the healer. If you still can't win then their team is either better than yours or has more maras/sents and pyro/assaults.

Exploiting what mechanic? That most pvp attacks bypass shields and armor completely? Sounds like you are fine with exploiting queuing mechanics.

yeah i was originally on the smaller pop side of a tiny server, and i would just face the same d-bag top geared premade whenever i wanted to pvp and there was only one game at a time. so i just rerolled onto a high pop server and its a much better experience. premades man. killin servers.

I rerolled too, from commando. Really like mara. On my commando there's nothing I can do when someone wants me dead. With my mara, I can be like not today my friend.

yeah, pretty much the only thing that will reliably stop a marauder is the gunslinger/sniper snare. and since the latest balancing patch only so very slightly buffed snipers/gunslingers, maybe their idea of controlling marauders is to make gunslingers more popular. which i guess means you shouldnt expect marauder nerfs anytime soon. good thing i rerolled a marauder on a high pop server.
