Rare Ily sighting on the forums!
My picks are based on who I have seen lately in pvp. There are players who in my mind have dominated their respective classes pre-3.0 that are not on the list (Telos as Vanguard, Zach as mando, Freq as mara) mainly because they are either altogether MIA or I simply have not seen them yet. I am also taking myself out of the running for any of these. This is only a list of players I have played with/against. I currently don't do ranked, so this is based on happyfuntime unranked matches. If you don't get mentioned, it doesn't mean I don't think you are great at a given class - there was just someone that sticks out more. I made an effort to narrow these down as close to 1 per as I could.

Good form. Quick justice. There should be no room for that in this game. I'm all for banter and rivalry, but there's a line.
I completely agree. I have had my own unpleasant run-ins with this individual in-game. After many a PvP match I have received hateful whispers from Fat'edd/Flipperedd, but the messages (while clearly aimed at being hurtful) only came off as ludicrous and desperate.
This, however, is a new low of contemptible behavior and should be dealt with accordingly. This is grounds for banning permanently from the SWTOR gaming community.

...Conc/Scrapper was not viable there since live....and to be honest wont be now. (THAT IS WHAT IM REFERRING TO)
Wah wah wah
If you re-read my post, Cwild, you will see that I never said concealment/scrapper should remain as it was. In fact I said the opposite - that we needed for the spec to be reworked. I specifically mentioned that conc/scrap needed more sustained damage to be viable in OPS. I also mentioned that we needed more survivability for PvP. Instead, the devs gave the class sustained damage and way more burst. The way more burst aspect is really what I'm having a problem with in PvP. I am glad that the spec got some attention, but it was done so poorly that I felt the need to throw in my 2 cents.
You said it yourself - even now, conc/scrap may not be viable for 4v4 competitive PvP. I believe that is because of our issues with survivability. The devs decided not to touch that, however, because it would be, and im paraphrasing here, 'too difficult to increase scoundrel/OP DPS survivability without also buffing healer survivability'.
All I'm asking for is a better job from the devs at reworking this class.

Dear TaitWatson and CourtneyWoods and ChrisSchmidt and EricMusco,
Let me start off by saying that I don't normally post on the forums for feedback, but I feel obligated to do so for this topic.
I have been playing a concealment Operative in PvP for the past year. I have always thought that we needed a little more love in terms of survivability, and perhaps a bit more sustained damage to make us more viable for OPS and other PvE content. I understand that balancing for both PvP and PvE is difficult. So let us assume for now that I am only referring to PvP balancing. Concealment Operatives are a stealth burst class. Burst being the key.
When I saw and tested the proposed changes for concealment in 2.6 on the PST, I had a good laugh with other concealment enthusiasts. The consensus was that the damage buff was too great. It resulted in over 4,000 DPS OPS dummy parses on a class with great raid utility (higher than any parse by a Marauder - which is a pure-damage melee class with no self-cleanse, off-heals, or revive ability), and hilariously high burst and sustained damage in PvP. We enjoyed it while it lasted on the PTS. However, we figured that between the testing and the implementation of the proposed changes, they would be re-balanced.
Now 2.6 has arrived and there has been no re-balancing. Perhaps it was my fault to assume that there would be enough of an outcry to rework some of the changes (although I have seen plenty of good feedback on this subject from others). I am hereby correcting my mistake - please rework the concealment operative changes. It is simply too much burst and sustained damage, if not for PvE, then for PvP alone.

.......Dude. It'a a game. I know he cheated, and that's not right, but is it really so important to have the best parse that you even want him to remove his from TORParse? I'm as much an advocate of friendly competition towards the goal of improving everyone as a whole as the next guy, but the actual parse number means very little. Having a top parse usually just means you got the luckiest string of crits. It doesn't definitively determine who is better at their rotation, or even how they perform on bosses.
I dunno. This is the internet. Opinions abound, and that's what this is: an opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. It just seems a bit too much of an overreaction considering what parsing is all about. =) Also KTap, y u so far ahead? *cry*
But that's the whole point - this is entire thread is about who gets the best PARSE, not who is best at rotations (though that does play into it) or who performs better on bosses. That is the competition. The best parse. So let people compete for that.
-
I'm just gonna say one last thing,that being that it doesn't say anywhere in the rules at this moment that someone can be banned from the leaderboards for cheating,not whether the owner of the thread changes that in the future or not is up to him,I'm just pointing out that the rules don't forbid him from posting for what he did. Go read them for yourself if you don't believe me but that's what they say right now.
Yeah! Let this cheating kumquat back into the running! And while you're at it, let Lance Armstrong back into the Tour de France! Also, OJ did it.

To whom it may concern
The Chandrian does not feel that “The Shadowlands 2.0 Ops Progression” thread accurately reflects how progression should be counted and who credit should be given to. We have participated in the progression on this server extensively past 2.0 and have enjoyed every minute of it as we competed to clear content on nightmare. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that what the thread counts as progression and what The Chandrian counts as progression is no longer the same thing. Since there are currently no explicit rules pertaining to the “The Shadowlands 2.0 Ops Progression” thread, we recognize and congratulate those guilds who Zalindae/Keiki has accepted as having legitimate kills because we have chosen to accept how the thread is currently run up until now.
The Chandrian 100% supports the efforts of multiple guilds working together to complete content and have even done so on occasion ourselves, but The Chandrian does not condone operation progression on an official server progression thread when credit is given to guilds who use non-guildies to complete the content as an official progression post or choose to skip bosses and post kills as a progression post in a non-linear fashion. That being said, we congratulate all of the guilds who have worked hard in completing the PvE content so far and have received credit for it via this thread.
If you would like to keep up with The Chandrian, we will be posting our own progression and video kills on our “The Chandrian Nightmare Boss Kill Videos” thread where we can interact more on a personal level with the PvE community on The Shadowlands.
You can find it here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=677318
Also, The Chandrian has chosen to start participating in the world ranking progression threads run by Suckafish for all further official PvE progression.Thank you again Zalindae/Keiki for the time spent on keeping up with this thread. It has been a great experience for us and we are very thankful that somebody chose to keep it going. Thank you all and good luck in 2.4!
The thoughts behind that post, broken down by paragraph:
"[impersonal opener to emphasize disinterest],
The Chandrian... [make legitimate statement about disagreeing with the progression thread. Continue with filler sentence about having previously supported the thread in order to distract from the self-righteous, condescending statements to follow. Elaborate on discontentment with thread by implying our adhering to higher standards than the rest. Mockingly congratulate the thread, moderator, and participating guilds for their interest in standards that were just deemed unworthy of The Chandrian by me.]
The Chandrian... [throw in unnecessary percentage in a false statement of support for guilds who have completed content under circumstances that I have outlined as beneath The Chandrian. Once again, finish paragraph with an ironic congratulation for effect.]
If you would like to keep up with The Chandrian,... [emphasize The Chandrian distancing itself from this thread by introducing a new, exclusive one. Magnanimously suggest The Chandrian will interact with others, again reinforcing the theme of distance between The Chandrian and the PvE community.]
Also,... [give a strong closer to the entire post by suggesting greater aspirations for The Chandrian by mention of the world rankings. Mock the moderator and the thread once more through insincere gratitude. Drop mic. Walk off stage. Self-satisfied expression engaged.]"
Instead of opening up a forthright dialogue about your concerns regarding the criteria of this progression thread, you chose to deliver this smug masterpiece. A tip of the hat to you, sir, I doubt I could have done it better myself.

I don't always check the SWTOR forums. But when I do, I prefer to post.
What I have learned from this thread:
1. ID is, hands down, the best PvP guild on this PvE server. If I ever wanted to get super duper cereal about PvP, I would go to them for guidance. Incidentally, I am, hands down, the best RP'er on this PvE server. Just ask my girlfriend on Nar Shadaa. I hear Ebon Hawk players have being jelly and butthurt about my RP skillz on farm. So if anyone wants to know how to RP right on our PvE server, come to me.
2. Dedrayge REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to be in ID. For the love of all that is good and pure, give this dude an invite. I'm sure he will do things to/for you.
3. People have still not figured out that Krazy Karl and Griswald are two of the biggest trolls in SWTOR. If you read a post by Krazy Karl or Griswald and get baited into attempting to reply with a clever post to stick it to them, I have news for you: you have already 'lost'. Its kind of like if you are walking down the street and from behind you hear, "Hey A**hole!", and you turn around. It doesn't matter what you say after that, the fact is, you turned around.
This is how I would express Krazy and Gris through emoticons:
KK/Griswald =
+ + + + + + Don't become troll fodder.
Just play SWTOR and have fun. If you need to grow your epeen, feel free. But don't get upset when somebody points out that it is just an -E-peen.
SWTOR is first and foremost a game. Except my girlfriend on Nar Shadaa. She is real. We do stuff.

The Gray Order downed Xenoanalyst II on 16 man HM. We did it with 1 member of Carnage Gaming, Uniformchaos. Thanks for coming, boss.
Neither 8 nor 16 man HM are particularly difficult, but this was even more of a joke on 16 man than on 8 man. It also drops 8 Gray Helix Components instead of 6 on 8 man. Don't hesitate to pug groups to get it done on 16 instead of 8 to farm for legacy weapons.

Appreciated. The point system in Feuil1's spreadsheet is murky and convoluted. Dominius does a good job of laying it out clearly and simply. Go Shadowlands!

Hi,
My name is Ily, I've been playing SWTOR since I was a little kid and I've always wanted to be in the TGO! I have a Sage tank that has *solo* cleared several missions on Tython.
I wouldn't consider myself "leet" per se, but let's just say that there is no Weak/Standard mob that can stand in my way after I use my Force Valor buff and Double Strike.
I am pretty busy during the week, the best times for me to raid are Sundays between 5:15AM and 5:45AM.
I know, I know, you are already sold. Let me just add that I also have a Vanguard healer that I'm working on right now, so pretty soon I will be able to tank or heal!
Hit me up.
Peace.
