I will agree with you that solo ranked is all about fotm classes, but group ranked? Every class has a place in group ranked right now. Solo ranked is not a competitive outlet and should not be treated as such.

Harbinger probably does have a more toxic environment than BC, but it does have highest population.

Right now the highest population server for west coast is the harbinger by a considerable amount. The server select population thing is misleading because it does not show server status based on total population. That being said, I will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability 1. Regs pop fairly regularly but solo ranked is dead unless someone goes into gen chat spamming for people to queue it. I'm not sure about GSF, however, because I've never queued it before. 2. As for competitiveness, a lot of people are casual. BC has a few guilds that could be considered hardcore progression guilds for PvE and we also have our fair share of PvPers who would consider themselves hardcore. As with any server, BC has it's colorful characters who sit on fleet all day and talk ****. 3. I have always felt there was a fairly good population balance between the imps and pubs, but I could be wrong.

Oh no, I'm so scared of who I "cause karma with". I wouldn't want a mighty herd of regstars focusing me down in the regs that I queue for EVER so often. Obviously, you must be somewhat enlightened to at least make the judgement that STI is only numbers, nobody in STI cares about regs and nobody in STI cares about objectives. Congratulations, you can get a few kills on an STI premade, would you like a participation ribbon and a cooler of gatorade because that's about all you'll get for it. Go ahead and run right through all of us, no one cares as long as it's regs. Also, who told you 4s are about opening burst? 4s are about precision and coordination. Do you even queue fours? I searched your name on the leaderboards and all I could find was a ****** guardian with 1071 which leads me to believe you're just another washed up has-been like flux who won't queue fours because they're too blissfully stuck in the time period when 8v8s were ranked. Here's the thing, pal, 8v8s aren't ranked anymore and your regs will never be competitive or fulfilling.

Okay first of all, 4v4 ranked does not create idiot PvPers. If anything, it teaches people how to use their class to the fullest rather than rely on getting carried by seven objective players. Honestly, it doesn't even come as a shock that transfers happen. BC has never been super competitive in PvP or PvE. No one got 5/5 on either of the dread ops pre nerf and I'm fairly certain that the last legitimate nightmare kill at gear level was epic with NM TFB. Obviously, this thread isn't about PvE, but it's just an example. BC has never been very competitive in ranked either. Not shockingly, many of the competitive PvPers are no longer around. Why you may ask? Well for one, many of them quit the PvP scene or the game entirely when 8v8s went away, or they were most likely disappointed with the shockingly low ranked pops on BC and decided to move servers. BC is one of the lowest population servers and it has been getting lower for a while. If you really want good regs just move to bastion, pot5, or harbinger if you play pub.

First of all, I mainly come to these forums looking for either drama or entertainment, so I made some assumptions and misconceptions to keep myself entertained. Secondly, yeah the PvP environment is *********** awful and non competitive on BC. Why you may ask is it this way so recently? For one, conquest. Most of the ******* conquest players come from RP guilds to get their points. They don't care about PvP or knowing how to play, they just want conquest points for their guild. Secondly, of the PvPers who are still on this server? I know I speak for most if not all of STI when I say that regs are a time to completely **** around and let off steam from group ranked or solo queues on server. As for the guilds and individuals that don't do ranked? I don't know if you play on pub side or imp side, but imp side has it's fair share of colorful characters like eelum who would rather spend all day making stupid excuses, chat PvPing, and challenging people to 1v1s, because apparently 1v1s prove skill in team games. You want my advice? Stay on pot5.

You really want to talk about skill from back in the day whenever you may have been relevant? Remember how easy it was to tank? Remember how all you had to do was guard the healer? Can we also remember how easy it was to tunnel one target and that every single match was a *********** turtle fest? Let us not also forget how ridiculous the gear difference was back when war hero was around. Let us also remember how *********** easy smash was to play and how all the "good" 8v8 sentinels/marauders struggled to learn how to play a real spec once they got nerfed. Look, my point is that sometimes the game changes and you just gotta *********** deal with it. Whatever the strat may have been in 8v8, it doesn't matter. 4v4s are the new ranked. Sucks to suck. I feel sorry for players who come back to the game and can't play it, I really do, but that's the nature of the beast. As long as SWTOR has been alive and stays alive it's going to get updates and you can either complain about how bad this "new generation" of PvPers is, or you can adapt.

Our healer's mic broke, but he's supposed to have a new one by Friday. Hopefully, we will be back in the group ranked scene this weekend!

After School Kids Club queues on weekends and maybe 1-2 weeknights, however, we will probably be queued more during the week during season for sure.

M8 I'll level my slinger and we can run quad sharpshooter

STI can have a team together on any given night from around 5 PST to sometime indefinitely late. If no one else is queueing group ranked STI will probably be in solo queue.

PvP drama from any server is welcome here.

Now everyone can see the glorious marauder who defied the mighty shinkirou with his 10% alacrity In carnage spec.

Harbinger has a lot more pops than BC no matter what.

Name: Mevarek Spec: Madness Record Broken: Total damage 1st/Damage per second 2nd Record Numbers (from screenshot): 2755604/2752.85 Screenshot of leaderboard:http: //i.imgur.com/y0VFoOJ.jpg suck my dick zu

Wait didn't you yourself say that you thought the dick measuring on the leaderboards was petty ****? This **** is pretty *********** petty too considering how much that gear can actually contribute to a parse. If you REALLY did care then you wouldn't post entirely, but I suppose dummy parses just mean so much on BC.

No no no, I am clearly not the one with my bum hurt. I'm not one of several people who goes around white knighting on the forums because they think they can't parse higher than people who outgear them.

Name: Zalentra Spec: Engineering Record broken: 1st damage dealt Record number: 2819683 Screenshot of leaderboard: http://assets.enjin.com/wall_embed_images/1418351488_sniper-hype.png Idgaf if it doesn't get posted since I'm not on this server on my sniper anymore, I just wanted to say suck my dick Zuhara. Also, the record was obtained on BC as it can clearly be seen that it is the same game as kiirov's record

On BC it's gear that improves dummy parses. The notion that actually improving your rotation or parsing more can improve your parse is simply ludicrous. Parsing is 30% rotation 10% gear and 60% luck.

Wait wait wait, is being a dummy parse hero so important to you that you people have to go around white knighting about the leaderboards? I lol'd

bruhhhhhhhh

You sir are a hero to these forums

When it comes to stupidity and immaturity BC certainly has its fair share of colorful characters.

I tried zu i really did
