great post

My Time, My Money, My Sub...... when you pay for my sub you can start telling me if i can quit a wz or not. Enuff of these stupid wz quitter threads..... just shut the hell up and play your game! THERE IS A LEAVE WARZONE BUTTON FOR A REASON!

yeah that class doesnt need a nerf..... facepalm

UMMMM .. whats a twink?

you feel squishy because now everyone is rocking augmented WH gear where as before is was mostly BM with a few pieces of wh.... and the fact we cannot mitigate 80% of the dmg done in wz's: force and tech. and is now magnified ten fold by the wh gear surge. absorb and shield are only useful for pve and NPC's who auto attack, completely useless in pvp. so thats 1-2 stats in every mod/enhancement wasted. on pvp specific armor. the fact shadow tanks are having to use dps gear cause absorb and shield do nothing in pvp should say it all. ok yes, i admit i do last a bit longer than pure dps prson... but for the sacrifice of any/all dps, i would expect the tradeoff for survivability to be much greater

my shadow tank defends the grass and west nodes solo plenty.. the problem is, i cannot kill the attacker(s) as my dps is crap, i can merely hold the bugger(s) off with my defensive cd's till my backup arrives.." 3 inc grass - send 2 asap!". when you hold 2 nodes, there should always be 2 defenders at the less attacked node (i.e not mid). if there are 2 healers in your ops, then there should always be one per node. thats thier node! know it, own it...stick with it throughout the duration of the wz when u die an EWH survivor geared shadow tank paired with a WH geared healer w/ guard on him is a pretty awesome defence for grass or west. only need backup when the other team gets sick of dying at mid and tries a diff strat. also, if im solo defending west in NC, and i see mid having probs with the cap. I will ask for someone who dies to take over west while i go guard our healer @ mid while I area/single taunt attackers till its capped.....then i will resume my post at west and rack up my defender points while i smoke a bowl being a tank is tough!

will be interesting to see what Bioware does when the forums are filled with PVE'ers moaning that thir BH gear will be obtained with daily comms and their grinding wiped out and replaced with higher tiered gear.. this is what should happen to PVE, just as it happened to PVP

im notiing a few select tv chennels are down aswell. wonder if it related somehow.. a&E, HGTV etc

.... and then the joy of waiting for 2 hours in queue after the few hour maintinence... shut your game down for the day people.. its done.. go be with your families and enjoy xmas

they prolly pretened the servers crashed cause its xmas eve and dont wanna hang around and monitor servers all day. and "magically" it will take all day to fix them. thats my bet

last time it siad 1hour + wait then it popped me in withing 15 mins

rollbck... i just finished doingthe dailies in section x and was doing long shots for the weekly ... and didnt hit the drop box yet.. grrrr

on elite boss in long shots.. down to 5 % health.. poof

it will drop guard when you use an elevator, speeder or taxi

great post op.. i like the resolve idea

i quit wz's and will continue to do so for the numerous reason mentioned in other posts. im not ashamed to admit it. i m not gonna sit there while i call out 4 grass and not 1 single person backs up the node i always quit huttball soon as i get in, everytime.. i refuse to play it. period .. and if they add a punishement and force me to stay.. then yes i will get a few medals and stealth in the corner and wait..collect my medals and my loss and cash in my daily.. simple as that

here, here

our problem is that the grind we had to do to get said gear was wiped out, and now have to do it again

agree with op...when i played swg (starwars galaxies),, they had an event with a small quest line and a random life day gift at the end.. some got robes, others got orbs, life day tree, wreaths, etc... eveyone got something and in turn those items created a small market of trading and interactivity.. and it felt like christmas err lifeday! shame on you bioware! you scrooges!!! bah humbug!!! but i guess they made it like real life xmas..... nothing but a money grab

its not huttball.. thats all i care about

when i was deciding to be a tank. i want to survive and help others survive ...i went right to the survivor gear with no notice that absorb and sheild.. the essence of tanking,,, was not valid in pvp how can i tank when i can't mitigate 80% of the dmg type done in wz's...

you dont think so hey.. well lets take 1of your most important stats from each of your mods and enhancements in every piece of armor u have,, and replace that with.. oh lets say presence... then play with that for 1 year im not trying to be powerfull , i just want my gear that was desiged for pvp to have stats in that are actually used in pvp.. like everyone else and yes most dmg in a wz is force and tech.. do u run around hitting your auto attack skill i.e saber slash etc.. atm my pvp gear is more usefull in pve... is that right?

Expertise – 15:30 I will say I am stoked with the coming changes to expertise. Basically all PvP gear will have the same expertise regardless of tier. The traditional stats on the gear will be adjusted based on tier with higher tier having larger main stats. problem with that is that the survivor tanks gear main stats do nothing for pvp. expertise was the only edge we had for dmg mitigation. .take away that, then make the main stats the deciding factor... when our main stats aren't a factor at all.. meaning you just made tanks not very tanky at all . see where our problem lies with that?

no1 is gonna tell me when or if im allowed to quit a wz.. its my time. my money , my game.. im not playing for your enjoyment.. there will never be any punishment .. end of story * crap my food is burning on the stove.. but joe the plumber is gonan be upset if i quit, so i better let my house burn down so he can get his comms" fact is, there are a thousand reasons for quitting a wz,, and rage quit is just ONE.. so u wanna punish people on the off chance that it was that 1% and ignore the other 99% valid rl reasons... suck it up princesses !!!

this is pvp armor.. made for pvp and designed for pvp....... and yet half my stats in my PVP gear are only usefull in pve!! some1 wanna explain that brain storm to me!.. any other class have pvp gear only usefull in pve?... NO if your not gonna make absorb or shield do anything, then for crying out loud slap something in there thats more usefull , i dont care, ill even take alacrity for crying out loud...or allow me to exchange my survivor gear for something usefull .... anything but what it is now enough is enough,, your 1 year in and its stil lthe same....
