60. Throwing comms away not getting to 60 as soon as possible.

That's a dumb thing to say. It's not the definitive way to gauge player skill, but it is definitely useful in doing so.

don't get it twisted homie. 4's are dead because that segment of the community is full of sh*t-talking adolescents who would rather farm rating than grow the 4's community. as far as the group queue thing, or just all queue 4's thing - it won't work because of class imbalance. if i want to play the classes i actually enjoy playing that aren't fotm in group, then a double hatred/double carbonize crew rolls through, it won't be fun to play. they would just be farming. how does that solve anything? get over yourself. the problem and solution aren't as black and white as you make them out to be.

You want to balance the game, remove stealth classes. They are the variable the combat team can't account for. No stealth, game would be easy to balance.

I know. But I just want to keep bringing it up so they feel like they have to address it. Or delete my post. Either way, my sub lapses in 7 days so I am just trying to get bang for my buck.

Alex, Are there any new maps on the horizon?

Then why are you advocating a premade only queue when you acknowledge that carebear premades won't queue against each other? It's an unsolvable problem. People who want to farm pugs are going to find ways to farm pugs. That is the reality of it.

Segmenting the queues would make queue times longer. That wouldn't be great for pvp. Plus a premade only queue wouldn't fix anything. The problem of premades in regs is situational. Groups aren't always perfect comp. Groups aren't always good players. Groups aren't always 4 people. Not much would change in terms of disparity if there was a group queue. And foursomes that didn't want to group queue could just try to sync solo queue to farm. And it would probably work a good amount of the time. This thread just needs to disappear quietly into the night.

When they typed that it may have just meant Modny had an erection. Would make more sense. But yeah, new maps por favor. I would really enjoy that.

I was against you in a bunch of those last night and it was pathetic. You could have put out 6k hps and it wouldn't have mattered. It seems like after a certain time of night pub groups just sort of disappear, leaving a bunch of headless chickens in queue. Could just be way past their bedtimes...

Possibly time to un-sticky this....perhaps.

Ok. We've gotten this far. Now maybe look through the posts of all the different guilds recruiting and talk to them rather than just hope they reply to your post.

Snipers should be able to start in stealth. Once they enter combat, they cannot stealth out of combat like operatives can. This would allow snipers to not be the initial focus and allow them to entrench themselves before getting opened up on by stealth classes, which is their biggest issue (imo) in solos. I think it would be a pretty easy fix. Just give agents stealth as a baseline ability, with only operatives getting Cloaking Screen.

Looking for a competent healer to join our ranks. In return for joining, you get to queue with two tryhard reg dps'ers who will actually peel for you! Sometimes, da homie vedkro will even get on his tank and tank for you, guard swaps and everything! Still not convinced? Checkout these testamonials: "My two favorite dps to play with. They seem like they are both pretty handsome in real life as well." - hottie "I've never felt as safe as when Blubbernugget wraps his guard around me. It's so-warm." - so-low "please stop whispering me. i have no idea who you are" - vara

There is a guild recruitment section. Maybe try there.

That's back again? That was a thing in s2.

That makes no sense. I did the majority of my solo ranked on two toons last season. Toon 1: I started my first 10 3-7. I finished the season with about 300 games played and won a little over 60% of them. Toon 2: I started 2-8. Played around 200 games and won ~66% of them. Proficiency with a class will improve over the course of the season, so winning percentage should theoretically increase a little as the season goes on; but it shouldn't double or triple. In each case, the win% of my first 10 games was not at all representative of my final win%. It's just not a good system. All games should have equal weight.

It is retarded how much weight the first 20 or so games carry. No segment of games should carry any more weight than any other. Whoever created that system is an idiot.

lol...nice try

Can we agree that there seems to be a lot more casual players than there are serious pvp'ers/raiders? Assume, like you said, the desire to purchase things from the cartel market is independant of what segment of the game you prefer. So if x% of players spend over y amount, then the % of x that makes up the casual player is much larger than the % that makes up serious/hardcore players >>>> casuals spend more money.

I'm just saying it's easier to use operations to advance storyline than it is to use warzones, and since they are story-driven they also cater to the casual player (as opposed to just raiders). I feel like it's a bigger draw.

Wait, did you crash the server last night?

The argument you quoted is simply that PVP'ers have no leverage. The fact that they introduced 2 new ops and no warzones supports my argument I think everyone can agree that the Cartel Market crowd (casuals) basically runs the show. Pleasing them will always be the focus. Still, you aren't going to attract new players by churning out Cartel Packs. There needs to be some sort of content development. Operations can be used to add to/push a storyline forward moreso than warzones can, hence the 2 new operations released with the expac. Not sure how decision-making is ultimately done at BW, but it seems that they are using player metrics to guide development. If their data says that new, story-driven, operations generate more interest than new warzone maps, it makes sense we see new operations before warzones.

No, the worst thing is some of these people will sit there and lay into people who aren't as good as them, even though they are as "good" as they are because they macro (cheat). It's a joke.
