  1. I like this idea. Kind of like protecting/attacking a living, mobile turret. It's like a mini-skirmish, and each officer is leading a team to battle. It could even be done in rounds like Voidstar, if they didn't want to have both going at the same time, so there's a defined defend/attack phase. Or, each VIP could have different phases; offensive and defensive. Lots of possibilities.
  2. Does anyone think it's crazy to ask that consumption, rather than take our own life, come from an enemy? It wouldn't have to take a ridiculous amount of life, but I think a lifetap-type ability fits with a sorc. Of course, there'd have to be a longer cooldown on it than the current consumption, which has just the GCD. Or, what about some kind of ability where, you cast it on an enemy, and if they hit you, you regen force faster? Just a couple thoughts...
  3. Ooh! I hadn't even noticed. Time to hop on my sorc! I finally joined the 300k/300k club with him in regs. Hell, I could pull 200 DPS and make this list! That's me: Setting the bar for mediocrity all over the place!
  4. Fair enough. I have two thoughts on this: 1.) If they weren't bolstered, and immediately melted, would that discourage them enough from queuing without gear? 2.) What about instituting an expertise-check? Of course, if I play against you, I think you should always get the folks you mentioned. I somewhat disagree about making it more inclusive. I think, for the most part, the people who are in ranked for the long haul already gear properly for PvP. What bolster does is create loopholes that later get closed, but people who are super "smart" don't realize it's closed. For example, I saw a regstar equip empty shells. Used to work; not so much now. So, rather than optimize, people look for the next (dare I say) exploit. Remove bolster, and you know what your stats are when you queue. On a side note, can we all chill out on our reactions? I know it's not what most people wanted to hear, but at least we heard something. Eric's creating a dialogue. Personally, I'd rather he not regret it. Do we REALLY want to go back to when we got zero dev posts? Bad news is better than no news.
  5. I can appreciate the thought behind this, but this is ranked...To me, that's comparable to NiM ops; you can't walk in with Rakata gear and hope to clear everything. You go in, get your face smashed, then you figure out why. I may be in the minority, but it might actually be a positive to discourage the casual PvP'er from ranked. I see a full 72 geared teammate in regs; no big deal. Ranked, though? C'mon. Bolster gives them the illusion that they're competitive, but it just isn't the case. Am I great at PvP? I think anyone who's played with me will say no. I still would like to think that folks would rather see me in my 2018 expertise rather than a PvE hero with 1500. Unless they're on the other team...
  6. Holy cow...FREE DRINKS??? So, when you coming to Indy? (See, I even remembered you liked the Rakghouls...that's worth a trip this way, right!?!)
  7. Thanks, Eric! I had a couple guildies who were completely oblivious to the KDY issue until I brought it up. I'll take another double XP weekend, though.
  8. Well, call me "nobody". I miss the ranked kickball nights we used to have, even if I was garbage, and was quiet in chat. Who'd have thought one could look back at Preseason and think, "Wow, that was awesome...those were the days?"
  9. You may be the first woman to tell me I had a good point...I may have to steal this for my sig...
  10. Venom = coolest hero ever. Yeah, I said hero.
  11. Well, here's my fail attempt at hybrid sorc heals/DPS: http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/moto_xxx199/SWTOR/Screenshot_2014-02-27_21_34_03_129978_zpsad0d3e80.jpg At least it's good enough to be last on the 300K/300K list (Neldiahr, Sorc).
  12. Yeah, that's what I thought. Luckily, I ended up in 3 DPS, 1 tank matches, and I was the only one capable of off-healing for either team. Easily cruised to 4-0. I wish I had that luck more often...
  13. That's reason enough for me. Where do I sign?
  14. Yeah, I have to apologize to the folks that queued with me Saturday night. I was super drunk, and thought I could heal the world. I was wrong. I even had one guy cuss me out in whisper, then put me on ignore. Guess who got stuck with me again the next match? The good news is, after torpedoing my rating that night, I decided for a fresh start with my sorc that hadn't seen rateds yet. Actually turned out well! I've realized that Tier 1 is not going to be a possibility for me, but I'm hoping to get to tier 2 on my sorc.
  15. Yeah, I don't get what all the backlash is about here. I mean, I PvP, will likely not get the ranking for the rancor, but also am not going to throw a fit over it. I also really want the EC tank mount (the only mount I've ever had the desire to run an op for specifically to get). As far as I know, they've removed the ranking requirement from all the PvP mounts that were currently in game.
  16. I may get some guildies drunk enough to run with me. I feel guilty in some of the matches, because frankly, I'm not that good. I hate to drag my team down just because they got stuck with me in the solo queue.
  17. Okay, I *have* 10% of a brain and 2018. Am I required to actually *use* that 10%? If so, I might be out.... On a side note, are there any 4-man teams queuing, or is it all solo pops right now?
  18. Was enough to get me to queue. Sorry to the guys who had to suffer through my heals! I just want to at least get a ranking. My PvP skills are rusty since my guildies grabbed me up for Ops.
  19. I think the pubs enjoyed playing against my teams during a match yesterday...Once we were down 45-25, I just started flying into asteroids. If you ever see me write "mercy flush" in ops chat, that's what's going to happen. Screw the Empire; For the Daily!
  20. If you give me a reason to dust off my sorc for PvP again, I wouldn't be angry.
  21. If the above is true, and "This...is...Sparta!", as quoted by the movie, then This=PvP.
  22. Pshhh...McDonalds Pizza or Bust 2014!
