The pvp in this game feels rather limiting but beyond that it was fun for me while it lasted. Many people have an almost family like bond with mmo type games I have noticed. Talking as about the end of a subscription with emotional wording. Take the experience for what it's worth and don't worry the game won't mind that your done playing it.

Being bored/ having no desire to log in. There may be things they could do to get me to want to play but right now i just don't care to. I haven't cancled my account yet because i have three friends that play. They aren't logging in often anymore and i think this sub might go the same way rifts did.

They just need to add full frontal nudity. Then when the shock wears off they can add in whore houses.

If SwG pre CU was considered a sandbox. A Sandbox MMo is just a theme park without the rides. I participated in "player" made content. Building cities wasn't rely that big of a task nor did anyone I talk to have pride in them. PvP riading of towns happened from time to time not because we where creative but because it was one of the few activities to do. Any time they added something else to grind everyone in this sandbox was there and doing it. Geo Blasters, holocrons, krayt scales, night sisters... ect . If you want to claim to be a sandbox where players create the content you would need a mix of minecraft and rpg maker to rely meet those expectations. Until then your just a theme park with a few shops and no rides.

1-50 you don't ever need to replace your orange gear and if you do you should keep it in the bank for later. At your going to replace it with either pvp or pve gear pretty quick though and getting armoring at equal level to higher level content is fairly uncommon but not unheard of.

Honestly the first tier of gear gives far to much in the way of percents. hitting the soft caps for surge and hit are incredibly easy. Stat growth in this game is either not intended to grow from this point or they badly mismanaged stat growth. As it stands I'm soft capped in both accuracy and surge, At this point gains from either of these stats are extremely marginal. This leaves only room for real growth in my pve gear to power and my main stat for dps, they are either going to go the little to no growth route or we are going to start seeing new enhancments that half of the stats aren't wasted on or off items, such as implants and ears, having little to no % based stat on them. This giving the problem of goofy progression where until you obtain x item y item isn't an actual upgrade due to it having to much of Z stat more often than not.

Having been an Armstech for quite some time finally dropping it for BioChem, I noticed a lack of patterns on the AH or from drops or the AH for my porfession. And by a lack I mean I havent seen one since a lvl 39 pattern I was given by a friend. In raids one hasn't dropped yet and we are at the point where people that don't have synthweaving or Armormech tend to get those patterns off greed rolls and we divy out implants to the biochems and cybertechs based on class. Is this a known issues or did they just snub the profession altogether?

I'm not saying that it should have the same stats as pve gear im saying that the base health on pvp gear shouldn't be below its pve counterparts As it is now. I understand less str ,surge, crit alacrity...ect just not health.

Honestly I can't blame any of these people for being pissed off that their effort amounts to nothing. They can't grind out extra bags and the weeklies only give one bag the hell is that? The grind in pvp is incredibly painful compared to pve. Even at low valor levels . The new bag system punishes new toons hard for the most part as it takes much longer to get your first few champ items compared to grabbing columi gear . Why on earth does pvp gear have less health on it than it's pve counterparts. It's insane.

Because you feel like shooting/stabbing/tanking or healing in a player vrs player situation.

I see all these insults slung at Fps players. Explain to me exactly how Fps' aren't pvp. You can kill many times your own number if your good or lucky. There isn't pve interference there is no time investments to make your dude better. Calling an fps not a pvp game is like calling basketball not a real pvp game. Stating that perhaps many versions of pvp aren't your preferred style would be more accurate. Because what this comes down to is favored play styles not "skill" or real pvp. Also a side not about gear balance complaints guess what, life isn't fair either some are taller some are stronger, and among those there are the more dedicated to their cause who will rise above. Gear is the latter in this game at least and im sorry if it bothers you.

The Pvp Community is an incredibly niche idea and an unwise system to bet the farm on. It does nothing for casuals those with odd hours or low hours to play the game. Those groups happen to be the bulk of players. Catering to some center "community " of hardcore players that apparently observe the actions of other to then exclude them from the game (man great choice of market there) is incredibly unwise. And if you feel like saying pvp isn't casual i would suggest removing your head from your ***.

They played this games pvp and don't want to punish their customers for making a mistake. J/k J/K and i have no idea.

I hate seeing teams stacked with tanks and heals with this change it is going to be more annoying.

it's cause the Ui isn't very good. It happens with all screens you pull up not just the Character sheet. Turn off your UI with cnrl+U you will notice a large fps jump.

eliminate illum dalies until they can think of something better. Beyond those boxes there is no reason to be there and getting enough is like pulling teeth at this point on any server.

I honestly don't see why they just can't assign unlocks that let you choose what items you want for pvp based on your valor ranking. The ranks+ loot bags is a insanely convoluted concept.

mind-boggling

they should just change the gearing system for pvp completely. The bags weren't just a bad idea they where a incredibly bad idea. their new "fix" is not much better either. Getting pvp gear isn't rely about pvp except for three wins a day the rest of it is entering an instance and doing specific goals over and over again to obtain points for more bags. I know it's bad when on my bounty hunter if a game is going well i will go stand in fire to get my 5k healing in one heal and 75k total healing medals instead of pew pewing and healing others.

As it stands pvp in this game has become a total joke and isn't for most of the community. They took a concept only cherished by hardcore pvpers (the pvp community of a server) and rolled with it in a game aimed at casuals. When premades go out into the War zones and start rolling pugs less pugs que up. Many people on my server just don't care about pvp anymore because the fun casual competition isn't there anymore. Not everyone seeks to be in a league when they play sports and play them from time to time for fun and at lest on my server this method of playing no longer can be obtained. Kinda lame. "Participation trophies" might actually get more casual player to que up and try their hearts out.

the weakness of bh/merc beign attacked.

I rely don't get the point of this video. Are you saying that a nuker should do a lot less dmg than your opener with their nuke? Has there ever been an mmo with decent balance that has done this? And op's still work great in pvp especially when they use their invisibility to their advantage to make fights that seem even in their teams favor with some focus on thier stunned target.

SWG when i played it was me running around killing people by pressing eye shot twice. There was some classic pvp right there. or the first week i played when you could one shot people with ease.

I hit 50 2 days ago on my alt. already have 15k hp and 1400 str. the only items i don't have upgraded to epics are belt and bracers and that's because no one makes them on my server and then sells them to a market that is at least somewhat there (me). If your fresh 50 go do a few hard modes they are all easy, don't believe the horror stories about "needing" gear to meet the timers or over-tuned if everyone in your group plays right you should face roll them. Do dalies and start a regualr group to do the four man ones as those offer 50 mods armoring and enhancments and you should have all the parts you needed in short order .

First time I did him he decided life wasn't worth living and jumped by himself into the pit to the right of where he spawns taking our loot with him. Kinda felt bad for him.
