From what i'm reading you have to finish Act 2 of your class quest before you can unlock that particular classes legacy buff. My question is at what level or around what level can you finish act 2 so I know how far I have to go. Thank you for any info.

Yes, working as intended. Imagine your in a WZ with say a premade and decide even before the match starts that you suck/your gear sucks/whatever it maybe and they decide to vote kick you, do you consider that fair? Or what if they decie they just dont like your name and kick you? Is that fair. Nope. This isnt WoW.

What exactly is so bad bout a mmo going F2P? I dont get that.

lmao. sadly I think this is exactly how BW thinks. Operatives are the red headed step child of SWTOR.

umm. sad thing is I PLAY a merc. it was my first level 50.

Was doing my pvp daily/weeklies on my Pyro Merc and Pyro Vanguard and after a couple of matches on my merc was starting to wonder what exactly is the role of a merc in PVP and what will the role of a merc be when rated wzs come if they come at all. For example, on my vanguard I can interrupt a healer if I have to. I can harpoon a ball carrier into one of the hazards in huttball or use it to peel for my healer. I can switch to Ion Gas cylinder for a bit and throw guard on someone to protect them. I can AOE taunt and reduce the damage of enemy players or single player taunt as well. On my merc, I can....do poor damage? Dont get me wrong i enjoy my merc cause he's my first level 50 toon and I am still gearing him up for rated WZs but it just seems like my vanguard brings a lot more to the table in PVP.

In before thread lock

Just wanted to know whats going on with swtor. I know the population on my server has dropped by alot. Used to see about 200-250+ players on the fleet now im lucky if I see 50+. Anyone know what the status of the game is. I'm about to level my 3rd 50 and just wanna make sure before I invest too much time in it.

ding ding ding ding ding!! We got a winner!!1111

So tired of joining losing WZs and being put in as back fill. I'm sure I speak for alot of players when I say that when I get thrown into a losing WZ as backfill all I do i just sit at a node and collect the minimum medals that is it. Just an FYI for you BW that this stinks.

Our damage was already severely nerfed in 1.2. In fact, if you count the current bug with Heat Seeker missiles not stacking with heat signatures, you can pretty much say this class has been nerfed to the ground. No, I would say make tracer missile castable while moving and give our another abilities a slight buff and of course fix the issue with the heat signatures. Even then we still wont be on on the level of say marauders/PTs/Shadows but at least we'll be somewhat viable.

Having played a hunter for 5+ years in WoW I know how frustrating it is to be a ranger in a PVP environment, especially one that has zero mobility. Sadly, I love ranged classes and the merc is exactly like my hunter was all through vanilla, BC, and Wrath. They werent fixed until Cata when they made Steady Shot, a hunters bread and butter attack, castable while moving. I honestly think this is what BW needs to implement for mercs. They need to make it so tracer missile/power shot can be casted while moving. This will solve the primary problem of the merc atm which is that it has to stand still in order to do damage. And if anyone has been pvping for as long as I have, you know that a player standing still in a warzone is a free kill.

Exactly what I will be tonight hopefully. Im just going to fraps it and then post it on youtube.

So last night me and my friend were practicing our damage rotions on each other see how much damage we could do. He plays a marauder with about 1200+ expertise. I got about 1300+ expertise rating. So I practice my rotation on him no buffs/adrenals etc only self buffed. So I TM, TM, TM, HSM, Unload and Rail Shot him. I got him down to maybe 70-75% HP lol. Yup. So now he throws his rotation on me. No trinkets/no adrenals hes only self buffed. I dont play a marauder but he told me the rotation he used on me was. Charge, Smash, Rupture, Vicious Slash, Force Choke, Ravage. He gets me down to about 15% HP using his full roation. Probably missing some abilities their but you get the point. Working as intended BW? Think next time ill fraps it. Was pretty disheartening as a merch BH tbh knowing that even with a full rotation our dps is pretty laughable atm.

Sure looks like it to me. Whats next everyone will have force abilities?

Sup everyone trying to get a definitive answer but from where do you get mission discoveries? Is it mostly from slicing lockboxes / or can you get some from any crew skill?

Longest time without a que so far since ive been playing. Almost 4 hours without a que.

Oh really? Dont know on what planet your playing from but on planet Earth WZs are dominated by Marauders/Sentinels. I do see the occasional sniper/slinger but they are very very rare.

So I decided to respec from Pyro back to Arsenal last night to see what all the QQ was about. Keep in mind I havent played Arsenal since February/March after I found out Pyro is THE spec for PVP. Anyways, the damage in arsenal just makes me a SAD panda. Tracer missile hitting for 1k critting for 1.5k+. HSM hitting for 2k+. Survivability is almost non existent as Arsenal unless you have a pocket healer or the support of a premade group. Does BW want Mercs to be strictly a PVE class only or something?

Honestly compared to marauders those classes there are a walk in the park to deal with. Right now Marauders are the WoTLK Ret paladins of swtor. They are just too OP. They will get dealt with though next patch im sure. Hopefully nerfed "to the ground baby"

Exactly. I dont want arenas in my mmo. Id prefer objective based PVP than some sandbox deathmatch. No ty. You want that go back to WoW.

Then pack your bags bud cause this game isnt for you. I'm happy to here that swtor wont even acknowledge arenas. We jsut dont need elitism in this game tbh. If you want elitism go back to WoW.

Agreed. Would be a nightmare to balance something like that out.

Having played WoW for 5+ years now, I can say that BW is right in refusing to implement any kind of arena into this game. Arenas were the worst thing to happen to WoW. If I recall correctly they are what lead to classes getting buffed/nerfed over and over again just for the sake of balance and in the end of I recall one the devs said that "Arenas were the worst idea they ever implemented in WoW". Also but most importantly arenas promote the whole "look at my rating, i'm better than you" mentality which just isnt needed in a new MMO like swtor. In fact, and I know I can speak for I would say 75% of the player base when I say this, the whole reason I left WoW was because of the whole elitism that goes with the game nowadays. I wanted to escape that. Basically if your rating sucks, your considered a "baddie" and not worthy etc etc. Sorry but no i hope BW never implements arenas in this game as we dont need those kind of players here in swtor. If you want arena, then what you need to do is go back to WoW. Ranked WZs are an awesome idea when they do get implemented and imho and I know I can speak for alot of players when I say this, are going to be awesome. I know im looking forward to it.

Agreed not sure what he was getting at with that pointless post.
