Ilum daily and weekly are getting removed, so better cash those at least.

So looking at the reworked stats for mercenary, I can't help but notice that we still have no surge on any piece. Just the same useless accuracy in every single armor piece. Jugg, marauder, sorc and assassin get 3 armor pieces with surge, we get none. What the **** Bioware, why force us buy 2 sets of armor to switch enhancements when other classes get them for granted? Check this out to see what I'm talking about http://mmo-mechanics.com/news.php?ar...a-stats-on-pts

How is it fair that jugg, marauder, sorc and assassin get 3 pieces with power/surge while we get none?

Biochem reusables will be removed in future patches (not 1.2) so if you are at 400 Cybertech already I wouldn't change to Biochem. Cybertech will make plenty of money in 1.2 since everyone will want the speeders. If you want to change crew skills, I'd suggest going for Armormech instead of Biochem, you will need crit crafted orange gear and so will everybody else.

So from what people on PTS are reporting, in 1.2 you will only get 40-50 commendations on a good loss with high chances of getting 20-30 on most games since people will always push for a fast victory in order to get the time medals. Since you can get 3x more comm for a win, people will just start mass quiting at the first sign of loss again, just like before. Why would you want that all over again? WZ have been more enjoyable then ever since 1.1.5, with people always staying till the end no matter if they win or lose.

When playing in a PUG (which is 90% of the time), usually nobody gives a crap about the ball so I have to pick it up myself and score, even if mercenary is one of the worst ball carriers.

You only need to to that for the Ranked version. Unranked War Hero gear needs just ranked wz commendations. Ranked version only has a different color.

Give us cross-server PvP, on many server queues are 30+ min long on a regular basis and it's impossible to find a game for hours in the morning.

How's the difference between the new BM gear and the War Hero? Same as current Champion compared to BM?

For War Hero gear you need ranked warzones, either solo or group. BM gear is the only thing you need normal warzone commendations for, but it is worse then War Hero. So why would anyone ever play a normal warzone?

You have to put it back in the item.

350k is nothing, you make 400k/day just doing ilum+belsavis dailies...

I'm a bodyguard merc. I was already the worst healer and now I feel nerfed more then any other class in the game.

You sure? I heard they will get removed in 1.2

I have hundreds of leftover champion commendations, and will most likely have some mercenary/bm comms left when patch hits unless I get very lucky with the bags. What will happen to them since the only comm in patch 1.2 are warzone/ranked warzone? Should I just start spending my champion commendations on companion gear? What about the bm/mercenary commendations? Will all the time I spent farming them go down the drain?

In like 2 weeks when the patch comes BM gear will be worthless so I wouldn't spend my time and credits switching mods.

Level 50 Warzones are the real deal. 1-49 is just to make you get used to playing your class in PvP. For me it felt the PvP started after level 50.

So you guys played the most overpowered class in the game for 3 months and now when you will finally get in line with everyone else you start crying like babies. Your tears are delicious, keep them flowing.

Solo ranked wz = normal wz. Nobody will be playing normal WZ anymore after 1.2 since they will all need War Hero gear and normal WZ commendations will be pretty useless.

So you played the most overpowered class in the game for 3 months and now when you will finally get in line with everyone else you start crying like a baby. Your tears are delicious, sir.

Because if power shot was left untouched, all the horde of arsenal mercs would have just jumped boat to pyro.

Are you freaking kidding me? Sorc/sage was ridiculously OP, why do you think more then 50% of the population rolls one? Now you will just be in line with other classes. Want to see a class that was killed by the patch? Check operative or bodyguard merc.

Straight from the patch notes, in case you missed it: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=363056#Items_Vendors So in order to get the new gear you will need to turn in the old BM gear in addition to the ranked warzones commendations. BM gear will be easier to get since you can buy it with WZ comm, but it will still require rank 60 since they removed the valor requirement only from earpiece and implants. I'm very happy with this, I worked hard to get rank 60 before the valor buff and even if it's a lot easier to get it now, at least it gets people an incentive to play more WZ then just for dailies.

Sorcs not optimal in PvP? You're either joking or have no idea about PvP. In Huttball which is by far the most played WZ, the team with most sorcs will win 90% of the cases. And in any warzone if you take a look at the scoreboard you will see that in top 5 at least 3 are sorc/sage every single time. Arsenal merc can be very good in PvP if you know how to play it (basically never shoot more then 2 tracers in a row and don't stay there pushing tracer like a retard if you get interrupted), my merc is valor rank 62 and I do quite well in PvP using arsenal spec.
