Are you really sure you want bioware to try and balance every class at the same time? I really think they should focus on one class at a time being as their track record for massive balance is 'meh' to say the least. One step at a time, while I would love dot protection, it would feel wrong to me as a player in sent / mara got looked at for buffs before other classes.

I love watchmen, but really I think it is unfair for us to ask for all three specs to function in PvP, when some classes barely have one spec that is ranked viable.

Now I see why people would prefer arena and ranked warzone community is fairly small on many servers that are not filled with hardcore pvpers. I read it and it sounds boring as hell. I am sure in the thick of it is a blast, clutch moments galore, text though my god it seems that it would be a akin to watching two holy paladins duel in WoW for an hour.

I think he is just trying to say he finds matches when both teams have active healers and guards the warzone becomes less fun. He prefers the faster pace shorter TTK when teams have no healers. That is what I got from it

It is a great idea, and a way forward, but honestly their track record shows that fixing issues is not their thing. If they could fix bolster I say go for, but if fixing bolster takes 2 to 3 weeks I would rather they dump it and go back to pve content for pvers and pvp content for pvpers. Granted bolster is their brain child and of course they want to see it flourish, but I do fear the longer the wait the smaller the pvp community will get. I mean Yay they fix bolster, but if say 10 or 15 percent of the active pvp player base quits long before that was the wait really worth it? Of course this is speculative, but I do not see the benefit. of waiting. I mean if they could remove bolster from 55 and ranked, and tinker with it behind the scenes, fulling test it then add it again go for it.

Road to hell is often paved with good intentions. Bolster is causing more problems then what it is worth. I PvE mainly and pvp for fun, I like that I really do not have to grind out two sets of gear, but I do not agree that those who are hardcore pvpers are forced do the bugs that players use to gain a competitive edge for the sake of allowing players like myself to enjoy PvP but mainly PvE. Either fully normalize stats, or keep pvp geared based trying to find a happy middle ground is a noble cause but in the end simply did not pan out. Maybe I am just odd, if something is causing more problems then it is worth say like car I simply write off and get something more reliable. Hardcore pvpers should not have to play through a broken system because bioware wishes to make pvers like myself happy.

Just remove bolster from 55 war zones. Happy days. I am a pver btw so has nothing to do with me wanted a gear advantage,.

Thank you for the support! I am currently drafting up a method that would work for this, though a part of me is wondering if I should ask the person who is in charge of the current bounty board if they would allow me to borrow heavily on the basic format of theirs.

This will be my first post on the forums, so thank you for the warm welcome, the gift basket was a tad much, nonetheless thank you. Down to business, this is an RP server, however we do have a decent amount of players that enjoy both aspects of RP and PvP, so why not try to bridge the gap by creating a real player driven bounty board? I understand the fear some may have about this, still I do think a little player driven RP and PvP that is policed by players would be neat. I know of the bounty board that is currently active, however being that the bounties have to be posted on themselves by themselves, I feel as if that makes the concept moot. So what do you guys think of system that uses the forums to put bounties on other players heads? I mean I am pretty sure those that are considered a threat in warzones would like the idea of being a target outside warzones by a group of bounty hunters because someone without a decent pool of credits felt you were worth it. My old WoW server did something like this, and it seemed as if the majority did enjoy it, sure few were upset about the idea of getting needlessly killed over and over, but thankfully this is a pve server were the player has to make the choice to flag themselves or wander into a FFA zone. Thanks again, sorry about the grammar and spelling.
