If it guarantees a long hard life I am taking up a Hobby immediately!

+1, waiting for more info to pass onto friends who left.

Each and every time we get a thread where someone calls for a nerf I at first wish for zero nerfs as I have seen nerfs destroy many games. Then the clown brigade arrives and I wish there was a way to perma block people across all games for all time. Please try to be positive. The best thing any of us can do for pvp is to logout of the forums, into the game and queue for pvp. Good luck.

It is fairly normal to get annoyed if other people appear to be doing stupid things or apparently refuse to wear even recruit gear. It is hypocritical if you choose to leave because you have a few of these players "letting the team down" in your warzone. It is your dollar, BUT Please be honest with yourselves regarding who and what you really are.

It is very unusual for people to return to a subscription model game once they have left and fallen behind. Unless some sort of welcome back incentive is offered. Good luck

The forums are better because I do not have to wait 40 mins for a forum post to pop. Also if another forum poster quits before pressing submit, I do not have to struggle to cover them. and We have a large variety of playable char types on the forums with far less humans.

The ranked warzones were begged for, and they arrived. I am happy to have the option to join a ranked warzone. If you do not think the ranked warzones are enjoyable as they are, remember no team in the world can beat a non existent opponent. Good luck, I would prefer warzones popped, but it is very easy for the 99% to encourage changes.

Pointless thread. OP Says; Youse guys must play as I say. Responder says; I will do what I want because youse guys do not play my way neither is even remotely likely to agree. While in fact, you are both saying the same thing. ie "my time is more important than yours, play my way" Good luck

I would like warzones to happen. If that means adjusting expertise I am for it. If it means giving everyone a set of ruby slippers and it makes warzones pop on aisa pac servers, I am for it. Please concentrate on the fact that reducing pools is bad, people playing the game is good. Gear grinds do attract some players and turn others off, good luck EA.

I have zero difficulty with newer players catching up in gear faster, I do not require newer players to go through the same chase I have made, I would prefer them to enjoy playing, then maybe we would get some queues pop on asia -pacific servers. I do believe some players prefer a gear chase, I do but do not expect the same should be demanded of anyone else. I would be happy with unique appearance gear.

We play games for our own purposes. I enjoy relaxing so I am currently doing sub 50 pvp. The people who need new raid content WILL be leaving for a game that offers that content. I doubt it is the end of the road, but content is vital to some subscriptions.

Please come create a character on an asia -pacific server and show us this rapid gearing up system. Oh by the way, it is not un heard of to have to wait an hr between lvl 50 warzone pops here in our primetime ( except tuesdays of course) , good luck Please introduce cross server pvp soon.

4-5 posts from one author disagreeing with the suggestion. This still counts as one opinion against.. I agree with the idea as stated by the OP. This counts as one opinion for....as follows; On the asia-pacific servers, under 50s pvp rocks along, over 50s is dying a grim death. Bolstering has a degree of impact on this. The 4-5th time through recruit-BM-WH gear is not as much fun as bolstered pvp. I also strongly dislike being told I am a good player by people who are comparing me to a recruit geared opponent, it is rubbish and I am not even sure I want to heal or dps anymore until they give the new guys a sporting chance. They get smashed without any chance to use skills, they stop queuing and I get to spend another hour on fleet waiting, yeh right, just normalise the stats and let us actually pvp. No we are NOT on origin servers.

Imho, The lack of end game content thinned the herds. The thinning of the herds increased wait times for pvp and pve group content. A lack of cross server pvp queues was a big part of the pvp wait issue. The growing wait times sent many to alts or other games further increasing wait times, which sent more to alts and lengthened wait times, and around she went. If you do not have critical mass on each server, you must have cross server functionality. End of story.

Sorc = Ian McKellen Smuggler = Jessica Biel

Just engage in combat each time a vote kick is issued. I would prefer you to be wearing full recruit at least but to demand it when i am not wearing full WH remodded and augmented to max min perfection would be hypocritical.

Instead of nerfs I suggest the following alternative; Beside each class in the character creation window list the class pve/pvp difficulty rating. This rating would also be viewable on player character sheets. The ratings could be; Advanced, Challenging, Average, Easy . No further nerfs required as people playing easy or advanced classes know who they are and what they face.

Remove the forums, remove all the websites with helpers, guides, youtube videos etc and remove voice chat systems and then people will speak in chat to each other in game to work out how to do things. Otherwise stop pretending that the early days of UO/EQ etc where teams of community members worked together in game to solve raids/puzzles are ever going to happen again. We worked together because we had to work together.

I should leave these alone but Meh. Some people honestly do just click away in both PvP or PvE and the team gets the desired results. Some people have a very good understanding of situational requirements to vary rotations and movements and they apply them in either PvE or PvP. While skill might arguably not be necessary in games, it does exist and some do apply it.

This is a very difficult question. The average skill level of a player who has played one char for 4 hours vs a player who is on his 8th alt with legacy 40 and has all his/her pve and pvp gear on every class, is often different. Cut them some slack and keep on trying to communicate. If you are having trouble mentoring players, that is ok, not everyone is born skilled in that area. It gets easier with practice.

Line of sight is vital, if you are a sorc use speed, you can also try to take your attackers to your own dps or to a point you wish to drag them towards. Be very aware of your positioning, pay attention to terrain esp snag points. Standing on top of one of your own snipers can sometimes help.... or get them killed with you,, Cast heals on players early in the match so they see your name pop up, you want to have friends on your team. At the same time, try to appear unimportant to the enemy....Watch where enemy snipers/gunslingers setup. Put any heal/bubble on the run skills on easy to reach keys/binds. Healers are often thinking players who by their habit of watching all health bars have very good situational awareness, use it. Endure, learn and laugh a lot Good luck

If it goes free to play we may get an improvement in the quality of the forums posts.

The trouble with games, MMORPG or even single player is IMHO; at some point the driving urge to play goes away. For some games it takes longer, UO I played for 4-5 years then one day had nothing more I wanted to achieve. DAOC i played to the first expansion and then felt they were forcing me to PvE to continue my RvR so I left and went to an oddly addictive newcomer ( WoW), but the raid to get an item to raid to get an item did not hold me 2 years, my son has played since it started and likely will play until it closes. Horizons ( Istaria) looked good with playable dragons, but it fell away in a few months, players hit end game before it was ready. EvE was great when we all had similar ships, now being able to wipe 20-30 players alone is pointless stilla good few years..Rift was good for 6 months then just not my thing. Each game we reach a point where there is nothing more personally attractive to do, then we notice the lack of cross server pvp, or funny hats, or Gui tools etc and we begin seeking drama instead of fun. For the OP, my birth year is 1960, I do not think it is a 1987-2000 generation thing. Good luck all.

I think instead ALL classes should just get a "reflect all damage" skill and then everyone will be equal.

If ever the world needs a few thousand selfish fixated clowns to defend it, we have a good list to select from. Please stop the campaigns to destroy the game. If it is not fun to play a class, people who levelled that class will either quit or reroll, some will quit. Please stop subscribing to games just so you can do your best to destroy the game. Yes I realise forums are pretty much to be ignored, yes I realise most forum posts represent less than 1% of a games players, but boy, some posters are in dream land.
