100% agreed. We already have long queues and they will only get longer. BW wants to make pve'rs and people who play 2 WZs a day happy? Fine but I wonder how many pvp'ers will still be playing in a month. The gear grind/gap was never huge past 1.2, the only players who complained about it were people with 20 alts or weekend warriors.

^^^^^This. We already sit in long Qs and it will get even worse if they fail to fix bolster tomorrow. There used to be tons of people queueing WZs on my server but lately I see the same faces in every match I play. I know there's a lot people like me who love to pvp but we also like to get rewarded for running the same 5 WZs every day. Take gear progression away and many of us will just quit playing.

Agreed, there either should be no bolster at level cap or the pvp gear should be superior to pve.

It is a broken ability and should be nerfed. Give it a CD or make it cost more energy.

Remove bolster from 55 bracket and keep it at 10-54. There's players that only pvp in this game and we don't want to wait any longer for the next "fix" that will mess things up even more.

^^^^ this.

I remember back in WoW the people who couldn't break 1800 rating where the ones always saying arena takes no skill. There's more skill in 3v3 than in 8v8 since you can't really be carried by your teammates in small scale pvp. That being said I don't think arena would work in SWTOR the class balance in this game is really ****ed up when it comes to 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3.

^^^^^^This.

All I see here is tons of weekend warriors who couldn't compete with hardcore pvp'ers before 2.0 supporting the new retarded bolster because they can finally beat someone using basic attacks. You don't need gear or skill anymore, you just press 1 2 3 4 and something will die. We get it, if we were as bad as you are we would want bolster too. For many people gear progression was an important part of pvp, take it away and they will just stop playing. Why bother running the same 5 WZs for hours everyday if we can just go naked or in greens and have almost the same stats as min/max player? Gear was never a problem in this game if you actually pvp. It would come fast. The only people who moaned about gear gap were players with 100 alts or someone who only did pvp daily for comms.

This^^^^^^

@OP Just uninstall idiot.

If this was any other mmo it would probably be hotfixed but since it's SWTOR enjoy your god mode for 6 months or more.

Do you even play this game? There's been many bugs since the launch that still hasn't been fixed or took months to actually see any response from BW. Everyone knew about naked pvp bug on PTS for 2-3 months but BW still decided to release the xpac and just deal with it later so they don't lose $$$. Yea, like it's gonna get fixed anytime soon.

This. I sometimes wonder if people in BW even play this game.

Good sniper will murder guardians 100% of the time, sentinels got it easier if they have their CDs to close the gap. Same with PT which is pretty much melee AC, good sniper won't die to them. With the 30m aoe mezz and the roll they're getting in 2.0 snipers will be melee killers even more then they are now. Dps OPs/scoundrels needed the roll not the snipers, they already have enough tools vs melee ACs.

What grind? It's stupid easy to gear in this game. If you pvp the gear will come fast but if you only do pvp daily then I can see why the gear is a problem for you. There's always gonna be a gear gap because hardcore pvp'ers will min/max while more casual players will just use regular vendor gear. Most people who complain about gear, at least on my server, are not very good but hey, it's easier to moan on forums then actually play the game and work on improving your skill/gear.

So the queue times are even longer? No, thanks I'd rather have a fast loss because I had few undergeared idiots on my team than to sit in 15min queue.

They don't comment on anything because they don't really care as long as we pay our monthly sub. We gonna get more cartel packs before they fix smash, bubble stun and 10 other things that are far from being balanced.

Something has to be done but I doubt BW will address this before xpac. I've been in games where I died in 2-3 sec with all CDs up because few smashers leaped and smashed at the same time wiping my team before healers could do anything.

It's ID and Physics. Other guilds on this list are in WOOK league-they lose to pugs while running premades.

Assassins doing more dmg than smashers? Maybe if the smash monkey is in recruit and assassin in EWH? I play both assassin and rage marauder with over 3500 WZs won on both and my sin doesn't come even close to the dmg marauder pulls. Smash dmg is too high and I don't see why people still argue about it other than being afraid of losing IWIn button.

OP was raging making that thread but I can't really blame him. We all are tired of smashing jug/marauders. Both ACs need serious nerfs and I hope they are coming soon.

Pretty much this. All i did 40-50 was pvp and I was capped on both ranked/regular comms the moment I hit 50. Even if you don't save any comms it's still stupid easy to get WH gear now and the difference between WH and EWH is like 3%. People like OP are just lazy ****s prolly living on welfare in RL.

I'm far from being undergeared and it still hits me for 6k.

We are talking about lowering dmg of Smash or number of targets it hits. This won't break the spec but won't be easy IWIN button anymore.
