No, not everyone agrees that there aren't PVP objectives. Read the replies, plenty are in here disagreeing. Without the threat of PVP, why even have the pylon quest? Pick up the orb, stand in line and turn in your orb. Would be a quest with absolutely zero risk. Other players are the mobs that can make these quests challenging, and it's a different experience every time you do it.

That's completely unrelated to what you responded to. But yes, it's griefing to trick you into flagging like that. Killing you in the PVP area is not griefing. As for the people who say that they're just PVE quests, yeah. What do you think PVP servers are like? PVE quests in PVP environments. Only difference is that it's actually common to see red in the PVP zone during the event.

PVPing in a PVP area, no grief involved. People who trick people into flagging are griefers. If you wander into a PVP zone on your PVE server, it was your choice to partake.

There is one solution already in game. Don't do the PVP quests. On my server all the quests are PVP quests, so I don't have that option.

A lot of my characters had their level 50 PVP gear stripped of its PVP stat. Only level 55 characters can get expertise now. Try playing on a PVP server...most zones are PVP zones.

Yeah, I was getting a cult feeling from it too, but it might just be a commune. Or maybe it's just for some of Colorado's newly legalized vegetation.

The CM is legitimized credit selling. I see people complain about the credit/leveling spammers every time I log in. EA is the worst offender on the credit side. Giving level 10-49's the ability to add power and crit +41 crystals is P2Win. Not a huge deal, but there's a reason those crystals sell for what they do. I don't really care about most of the CM, but it proves PT Barnum right., however if it keeps the game going, great., and I have had a lot of fun in this game. I'm just not really enjoying it now. My real issue is that PVP is in bad shape. I have enough weekly passes banked for 4 months of F2P, but with the current state, I don't even want to use more than the 5 games I get a week. Hell, I have enough characters where I can play 5 games every day and still not use my passes.

Mediocre PVE gear is better than top Raid gear for PVP. Bolster sucks.

Not that much more. A couple of ability bars, quicker quick travel, a fleet pass. I don't need the extra ability bars, and I can pick up a weekly warzone passes for ~45k credits.

OK, recruit gear sells for 1 credit. Selling it is no longer an issue. Don't do the cash token again. People not wearing it is their own damned fault. But, I think a lot of people didn't wear it because it was blue. Give it the purple tag, and you'll see these people wear it even if the stats are the same. The recruit gear system was better than what we have now. As it is now, I'm better off wearing lvl 10 blues than my battlemaster stuff, and that's just not right.

Augment a set of modable legacy gear for each character now. Use your CC's to buy cartel packs and sell them for credits. You can buy a lot of the unlocks really cheap on the GTN. Pick up account (artifact equipment, event equipment, section x, etc.) unlocks, character slot unlocks, speeder piloting, and buy weekly passes. Transfer 350k to each of your characters. Anything more will get locked away until you resub. Mail everything you can to the chars that will be using them. Only being able to mail one item at a time and not being able to mail credits sucks.

Or, the new bolster system could have been kept in development until it was fully tested and ready to deploy.

Yep, expertise is still on relics. Some of my characters still can't get the daily pvp mission, and the ones that can get the mission still have some battle master gear that I'll have to take off to avoid being penalized by bolster.

Raid or die... This was a horrible move BW.

A few of my lesser played characters are still wearing some pieces of battle master. BW was too lazy to change those. Yes, I could use planetary comms to replace the mods with 25 purples, but I'd also lose the set bonus doing so. Those characters will be penalized by this ridiculous bolster system if I don't give up the set bonus.

This is not a bug, this is the new face of naked pvp.

with the way bolster is working, you're better off without the gear. Equip your main hand and off hand stuff, and just go naked.

Doesn't matter, you're better off naked

Southern Hemisphere has the same time zones as the Northern Hemisphere.

I can guarantee you that more than one BBS in the Portland area was running it that year.

In 1991 I was dialing up to play Tradewars: 2002, and Global War on my super sexy 2400 baud modem.

It's been around for a long time. Log out, swap characters, come back and queue again.

If a company wants free QA, they have to encourage people to go over there. Or they can keep doing what they've been doing. How has that worked out so far? Character transfers are an easy way of getting testers.

More time is great, but who will test it? No character copies results in very little testing.

I'd want Warwick Davis to play my powertech.
