The tiers are, according to BW, based on a percentage of the population. Tier 1 is the top 5% and then so on from there. So unless they are intentionally misleading us about how they set the tiers it's kind of out their hands.

The reason I knwo is becasue I got some hate tells after a match and when I replied I got the "You are ignored" message. Next WZ I was on the same team as the guy again.

Oh yes it will.

Immigrants are killing PvP. Come here and load up their low riders with free healthcare and shoot up all the jobs.

I'm fairly certain this is caused by people on the **** faction rerolling to the more dominant faction on each server. On my Harb toons we usually win pretty easily against the Imps or t least have close matches. Now it's just a beat down for the Pubs and every time there are 3 or so players on my team who don't even break 250k damage in full length WZ's with healers doing about 500k. Same thing on POT5 Imp side, what used to be good games is just filled with mouth breathers. This sort of thing usually happens around an experience event. It will go back to normal in a few weeks when they people who lose games for your team get fed up with still losing but now having to gear again and go back to their mains. There are also a lot of good players setting up shop on every server just in case the ranked scene picks up on a different server. With 12XP you don't really need to transfer anymore and gearing isn't even bad (min/maxed normal PvP gear is all you need).

So I added a couple of pieces of gear to the designer, accepted it and logged out and now when I log back in I have a completely different outfit in there with gear I've never even seen let alone own. Has this happened to anyone else? L:ink to what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/jVZrxgc.jpg

There is no data here. You counted occurrences of a class in 10 matches. Were these all unique players? Or did you keep coming up against the same players (pretty likely honestly)?

Unless they are completely stupid they aren't going to be "confused" by DST. And yes, it is a 30m ability.

I stopped caring about what he has had to say years ago.

The big spike is what it hard to recover from because it puts you on your heels almost immediately. Keeping the spike damage lower will help out your healer and make it easier for you to recover in your own. Kiting them is difficult but their survivability it's crap. Their biggest defense is killing you before you kill them so during their burst Windows is very important

No the reason there is auto tracking is that there is no collision between players. What you are suggesting is a redesign of the entire combat system

You should always have it up but keep in mind the CD for explosive dart is 9 seconds and td is 15. So keep him busy/los'd while you are debuffed and try to get your bubble back up for the grenades. Having their abilities go if at the same time is part of what makes pt's so bursty

Plays one WZ, decides fate of class

There's a very good reason ranged auto faces once a channel starts. It would be far too easy for opponents to break LoS simply by running through the player. This would drastically increase the skill floor for ranged players while making it extremely simple for melee to avoid damage. Melee has plenty of ways to stop casts between interrupts, stuns, KB's, pulls and mezzes.

Cell/Energy Burst can crit for up to 15k especially on a Sorc. Thermal Det can crit for upwards of 8k, Rail Shot can hit for 8 or 9k, Explosive Dart can crit for 4k I think (don't really pay attention to it). You can pile them all up at once so they go off within one or two GCD's and tack Shoulder Cannon damage on top and you can easily lose a huge chunlk of HP. The two grenades making a pretty distinctive "ticking" sound while they are on you so be aware of those and use Static Barrier to block them or try to LoS and start pre casting a heal to try and mitigate some of the damage.

You spawn where you die except for the designated PvP zones in which case you spawn at the closest med center I believe. The respawn timer does apply .

This post speaks to me

Kiting refers to moving, Entrench is quite the opposite of that

We aren't getting anything. I'm pretty sure it came out in a dev post or Twitch stream that the "better than cross server" comment wasn't a definite or it was a miscommunication or something like that. Basically they backtracked and nothing is coming.

I'm sure you think that over half the teams you play are all ranked geared, super queued, voice comm premades but I can tell you that they probably aren't. Even if they are a premade they likely aren't fully geared and not all of them are good. You, and everyone else who makes this claim, seems to forget you are just as likely to have a premade on your team. But no everyone like to paint the picture of being the underdog and everything is so unfair how can they possibly win? It's a game. It's a game people play with friends. Group up if you don't like playing against groups as a solo queue. If you don't want to do that, figure out a way to get this game around 10-20k more players on each server, then maybe they could separate the queues.

If a solo DPS was able to easily kill a healer, all things being equal like gear/skill, what would be the point of bringing a healer anywhere? You are also forcing us to assume you are a competent DPS, not saying you aren't but just saying you are Watchman doesn't mean you are a good Watchman (I see plenty of 500 DPS players of all specs).

lol what did I just say

This oughta be good...

I've usually noticed that any team that stomps another team is a "premade" and they are always "fully geared" no matter what that actual case may be.
