Pretty much agreed.

This.

+1 for this.

Changing the decimal point from "," to "." from windows settings worked for my friend. (I know sounds like a stupid *** fix but it worked) Also removing BitRaider and using SSN fixes a lot of issues I used to have with the launcher/game (since the introduction of BitRaider). Hope this helps.

Cross server isn't gonna do jack ****. Even if we combined all the servers, despite player preferences, latency issues, and ignoring time difference between US West, East, and EU, and language barriers...Nothing will happen. We'd need thousands of ranked players. Hundreds in the queue at any given moment. Right now there's maybe a dozen. At "prime time". Double, even triple that and you still have a dead queue that will wither away. Please, just find another game if you want "competitive PvP". Seriously.

If no one cares, but it effects you. Then who are you?

Let me get you straight: You think that because Mercs have more AoE abilities the Sorc AoE has to be better than any single one of them alone? Where's the logic in that? Give me 1 killer AoE please. Less buttons to press anyway. More effectiveness. Unless I can somehow cast 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) at the same time, you really don't have an argument here. The only part about it is that Mercs have options to deal tech and ranged AoE damage but let's be honest here casting anything but DFA and Sweeping (instant damage) is a waste of time. And only sweeping is cd free. So don't act like Mercs got more "options" as the "options" are just bad which means you don't even wanna use them.

God here, saw this and thought I'd clear something up: I don't bless anyone.

This is a pretty interesting and good idea to be honest...

Giving advice on cheating is also against the rules. That said swtor.exe is running as administrative process. If somebody from BW looks close enough, they will spot a cheater. They just don't have the resources to look into everything.

We cannot prove this but BW has the evidence if they look into it. All they have to look for is the input of the players using these machines and if people have been sloppy and created a macro that say clicks every x seconds exactly, then that's a pretty clear indication that they are using a macro that is against the TOS, and is a permaban offence. I find it extremely hard to believe that there wouldn't be people abusing this with a macro. Whether they're stupid enough to get caught or not is another story though.

*waves hands* -How should I put this, um. *points* -FU

Funny how nobody plays the OP classes themselves... While I was reading your comment I was like...This guy must be a Jugg player. Then I saw your sig and burst into laughter. Thank you for that. So we have people complaining that pt, sorc, sin, and jugg are OP. That's half the classes. People are funny.

So you'd trade an instant gap closer "any day" - that's also a root and an interrupt - to a speed boost on twice the cooldown that only gets you stunlocked. You don't make a very good marauder me thinks. That said I don't think VG/PT needs the leap to be effective DPS as long as you're position 1 DPS. Unlike a Marauder, VG/PTs can achieve nearly 100% DMG output from 10-15m and briefly even 30m away. Leap would make you better at switching with other melees but hey you can't have it all. 8v8 that's another story but you can always spec tank with DPS gear if you wanted leap.

I get where BW is coming from with bolster - but don't agree with it - because deep down it's wrong and BW knows it, they just don't have the balls to do the right thing. The right think would've been to just decrease the power of PvP gear vs non-PvP gear to begin with, which is essentially what bolster does. Oh, but it does so with style... If you think about it, what's the point of getting an item that would make you 1% stronger but doesn't because without it a system (bolster) would buff you 0.9% passively anyway? You gotta ask yourself: "Why not just have the item make you 0.1% stronger and remove bolster?". Because it's not mentally the same thing. Bolster reduces the gear-gap which was causing casual players to quit. But it does so while keeping up the illusion of progress. Bolster makes people think they are progressing more than they really are and that keeps them more motivated to subscribe, grind, and play more. It's an ingenious scam. Now if only the game had some real wPvP content where there was no bolster and BW wanted to keep the gear gap there greater than in Warzones then it would be a different story, but only a little...

Ranked 4's people are much more inclined to static setups (same people everyday everytime). In 8v8 there was a lot more room for substitutes. There would be just as much or few queues going on in 8v8. But being 8v8 there would be more people queuing. Problem was never and still isn't getting people together. Problem is BW doesn't support PvP (**** rewards, balance updates twice a year etc.) Bring 8v8 back signed.

People please, why bother writing so much. BW is not going to read. At most they count the amount of posts and/or *nerf [class] and if there's a lot they'll go ahead and do it. Nerf overpowerd assassins, and madness sorcerers. Do it. Thank you.

Well to the OPs defence I'd have to point out to you guys the fact that the map Voidstar is 90% of the time just one room: the first. I mean, count the times than you see the other rooms. If you cap the first the second is really hard to cap unless you can outrun the team from the first room. Count the times you've opened doors without stealthers. Also if one team opens a door it usually means that people leave because they know if the enemy team were good enough to open a freaking door there's no way they'll open one when it's their turn. I would much rather see Voidstar go in the direction of "who can reach the datacore first" and not as it is now "who can plant the first door and make a run for it". EDIT: And for those who remember the 8v8 ranked days you can clearly see how flawed the warzone was because it was basically always a deathmatch. With good stealthers and a team with a sense of time (when the spawn opens), it is so impossible to actually open a door it's not even funny. Seriously. It's broken just like alderaan was when the speeders spawned to the sides.

...Guess not.

I wouldn't. Because, in science, we don't assume so much. How do we know they hide "any electromagnetic waves"? You know refraction. Wavelength could matter. And if you think about Star WARs, do you really think that if there's a tech to make people invisible there wouldn't be tech to somehow counter it? Oh wait, we already have freaking stealth scans! Oh and look, what's the skill called - that Vanguards have - which "increases stealth detection"...NIGHTVISION SCOPE. What about Powertechs...INFRARED SENSORS. So much about his "Any. Including "heat" argument... I mean first you must think, no "science" needed. PS: I mean, if there were no way to counter this invisibility wouldn't you want to have them on your finest freaking soldiers - the republic army's elite - not on some freaking criminal smugglers???

What's wrong with permanent stealth, stealth in general, and group stealth ability: 1. You can't be marked at the beginning of the round. 2. You cant be targeted at the beginning of the round. 3. Stealth will remove a focus target. 4. Combine this with operative/scoundrel group stealth ability, you can ensure no teammate of yours is focus targeted as the stealth ends. 5. You have unlimited amount of time to plan your first offensive, which is neither fun nor fair. This is just a short list of things that's wrong with stealth and arenas. Don't even get me started on 8v8 warzones. Information is key and the fact that you can't know where your opponent is in an objective game is so huge that it's silly. Don't get me wrong I like that there are classes who by definition are gankers. But they shouldn't have access to a stealth that can last forever. Here's just a few reasons why: 1. You have too much information advantage (you know where all your non stealth opponents are but none of them know where you are or where you will be because there is no limit to your stealth) 2. You have too much impact on the objectives in the game. You can ninja cap, or defend an objective - even vs a full team - long enough for a) your team to come or b) other stealther does the same thing, respawn, and rinse and repeat. And you can still kill stuff in a group fight just like any other class so you have it all. If stealth has a timer - or consumed a resource - then it could be a lot of fun. As of now it's just a game breaking ability that sucks the fun out of every warzone ever played. The end.

Neither. Seriously. We need body type 5. BioWare, your employees are clearly spending more time watching **** at work than actually working. Someone was supposed to make a fat girl, and came up with body type 4. Pretty high standards.

Wisdom.
