I did not realize I still had a recurring subscription going to this game; but I just cancelled it. Dead game is dead game. I've been playing Warhammer 40k Eternal Crusade for a few months now( It's in Alpha so there are imbalances and it's still missing Ork faction; but they will be coming out soon). Despite that it's shaping into a really good game. I suggest if you can get behind a Third person shooter/melee/ vehicle combat with many MMO elements; to jump in and give it a try. Here you will get what you have always gotten from the beginning...Mediocrity. Later folks.

Balance would be any dps toon could take any other dps toon regardless of ac; maybe needing 2 dps to take one heals..I'd call that balance. The devs apparently have other ideas as they continue with the same OP classes and give too many bypasses to the UP classes defenses, This makes for some urine-poor gameplay IMHO. I don't know how to tell them to fix this mess; and at this point i'm wondering if i even care.

I'm still gearing both my slinger and sniper but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Sabo stacked with alacrity will have me putting out far more damage than marksmen with layering my aoe's correctly. That's in regs and I avoid ranked so could not give an opinion there. The game meta has some good play/counterplay for many classes; but even with the resets back slings/snipes still feel lacking. That is just my opinion so far since I've come back. It's like I have 20 dcd's but not one of them besides Hunker/Entrench is worth anything( and i'm starting to pre-reset and never let hunker down drop as once stunned you can literally be two shotted). It's funny but has been the case for awhile that light armored sorcs have far more durability and over-all damage than the pure damage class due to that survivability; and that's even with their damage being lowered this patch. I'm beginning to dread it but eventually I'm gonna bring my mando up to 65 and i got a feeling things are going to be even worse there.

I said that in an earlier post; but I'd disagree with saying that it's not the fault of any player that killed him. I got caught up in this same situation. Saw 2 LVL 65's spawn camping a couple lower lvl's there. I wasn't 65 at the time myself but waded in to help; as i saw it as poor play from the gankers. i was then learned my lesson, as there was no way I could kill them. What followed was akin to what I could only describe as cyber-bullying as the 2 65's would just wait till I started respawning as the only 2 choices the game gave me was spawn in place or spawn at medbay..the exact same place at that point. IThey would not even allow me the time to log-off, go play another toon etc. Piss poor gankers doing things like this does not make you a PVP'er; it makes you an ******e.So I kinda understand the OP if this was the type of situation he ran into. My fix was to just stay dead and wait till the gankers left from boredom; but that in turn took away from my valuable gameplay time(time I pay for with a sub) and should not be allowed. Bio is Bio and this probably will not get fixed even tho I submitted a ticket about the lack of guards. For another previous poster I'd say don't come out with a lame post saying that's PVP, it's anything but..

He has apoint as far as Zaakul is concerned as the medic respawn points do not have guards; and this makes it too simple for anyone that killed another player to just camp a respawn and kill another player before a full rez..Stupid mechanics like this will never encourage a growth in the pvp playerbase..only emnity.

I dont know whats up with 4.0 but it seems that everyone has a simple bypass mechanic for slinger/snipe defenses. please clue a returning player on anything that works besides healer/tank combo..that's totally unreliable in regs/solo Q.

OP should probably stick to pvp'ing against the fleet targeting dummys..Its the next step down from the "let me just sit here and let you wail on me" playstyle of snipes/slings... Sheesh

Been a member of this server since original server merges and I placed in a log in Queue??... Busted *ss running on two epilectic hampsters **it server..how dare ya?

Hmmm; my nexu's saddle has a monogram that says; "For Krea". wonder what that means? Dang this ride is sweet tho! :D:D Just kidding, and it doesn't surprise me that this happened. I'll be getting my nexu with a reskin thru the CM in about a month; but wait till Monday and see what BW has to say about this.

Casuals; as opposed to hardcore for a video game..funny that. I could care less what category anyone would lump me in for this "not hardcore story driven game '. It doesn't take a lot of wisdom to see if this game was ever going to be a "Hardcore" PVP game the Devs would have made it so already. I'm still subscribed; for the new stories and not much else. I still PVP; but being a "casual" I don't take it too seriously. I find that I enjoy taking small breaks from this to run/ finish other games. When I do this and then log back into this it giving me an "Oh Well", perspective on the imbalances and non-development on the pvp side. Just for info but I'm thinking I'll quit permanently when /if Warhammer 40k Eternal Crusade drops in 2016. Sci-Fi, big gunz, and chainswords. Sounds good to me.

PVP game is dead until EA puts some development cash into it( If ever). Maybe the new movies will give them the drive to do it; but I doubt it will go toward any PVP development of any kind. I will say as far a 1v1 scenarios go; snipe v snipe, merc v merc, and mara v mara would always be entertaining.

All disciplines for the class need a rework and the whole "glass cannon" for both merc and sniper needs to be dropped..this games pvp and population..ie tanks/heals to dps does not support it; or I should say the matchmaking does not support classes that require support and that is total B.S. and should be addressed.

Doing Destiny for my PVP fix these days. I still keep my sub and pop in now and again and yeah I run Engi/ Sabo when I do...Guess I'm waiting for the new storylines and hopefully some kind of fix. One out of two can't be bad right?

Hmmmm.. I like having the choice between root break/team buff or damage that's procs constantly thru the old way over this new 30sec CD anyday. I will just save that point for a real defensive buff. I'm busy gearing my sniper but do want to get in and see these Sent/ Mara changes firsthand.

They got 10,000 of them..why not this one as well? They do need some love anyway..at least as far a solo ranked goes.

Brought my main back from bastion to be with my guild but as soon as I log into harby I get kicked back to desktop constantly..thinking that leaving bastion was a mistake.

PT's can equal that burst. Concentration sents with the new immunity on their force slow should be up there too; but time will tell with that. it's a cop-out to claim burst potential on a casting class..because everyone else is running on instants for the highest hitting burst CD's in their rotations. Faster damage output = better than casted(slings/snipes). The burst isn't even the argument here it's the survivability so stop trying to derail threads with this mess.

From experience I think your not immune during the drop animation. I have tried dropping it numerous times with jugg impact immenent only to have them push me out or stun me b4 the animation is over; so there is a small but exploitable window there is my guess.

what this guy said..x100

Does anyone think this wasn't going on on Harby for years by one guild or another? It's nothing new just that it's now Imp side with an overwhelming advantage with the influx of the transfer. I'd say group up and fight back PUBS.

Opinions are opinions..Mine is that some of that survivability needs to come off. You can be the best at flanking; rotating damage, cycling stuns; etc etc. but that gets you nowhere when someone can pop neverending DCD's and noob-bash his/her way to a kill. Not saying they are OP; just that the survivability is ridiculous.

Yeah but the the tourney isn't till the 13th. Was there a time schedule for getting transfers back up?

So..ummm; if this happens can my sage/sorc get dual blasters. I don't mind if lightening or rocks come out of them; just gimme the blasters.

I'd like to be lumped into the .05% called the average drunk Joe..'cause why play this game sober?

I'd almost transfer my slinger back over to Harby for this. It sounds fun; but I don't know if I'll be free to attend that day. Good luck to all that do get to participate though.
