  1. A serious answer, I don't have a sin/shad myself but I have read up on all the classes to learn how to counter them on my sage. In my research I have never seen a tribrid spec, and the only viable hybrid spec I've seen in darkness/madness. I would assume you wouldn't be viable for anything if you sacrifice that many high tier talents
  2. Here's my opinion on how healers should stand against a single dps. If a healer and a dps of equal skill go toe to toe, it shouldn't be a complete stalemate. It should be that the dps only ever so barely does more damage than the healer can heal through, which leaves the healer's team with enough time to get the dps off of said healer. If the team is too incompetent to provide a peel, the healer dies.
  3. (All credit goes to Scold for this post) Here's a list of all the mmos that discourage group play. -
  4. Normally I'd ignore threads like this, but your tears taste like caviar, champagne, filet mignon, and chocolate fudge. Keep em coming.
  5. Ah, totes did not know that. It does seem though that not a lot gets done as far as the developers go. I actually believe that the team is lacking in staff numbers. Hopefully they can make enough guap from Cartel purchases to hire more staff members.
  6. So I'm not a founder of SWTOR, nor do I claim to be an expert. My friend who told me about this game, though, was a founder. From what he tells me, PvP players have been neglected from day 1, and the biggest kick in the cobblers they ever administered was when they yanked ranked warzones from patch 1.2 30 minutes before it went live. Since I'm fairly new to the game still, I don't have much reason to whine about any class mechanic or anything because I don't know what they used to be like. I would have never guessed that watchman sentinels were the thing to be in 1.2, but from all of the posts I've been seeing this afternoon concerning 2.4, I would LOVE... LOVE to see what the PvE players would do if BioWare yanked those two operations from 2.4 30 minutes before it went live, and instead added in 2 new full size warzones, ranked season 1, and make the new arena gear look not like a recolor of current conq gear, but a whole new skin. If all the PvE players got for 2.4 was the new story line, and PvP got 85-90% of the attention, 30 minutes before the patch goes live, THAT would be something I would pay to see.
  7. Now now, just because you disagree with something, does not mean its garbage. But to sum up everything you just said, here's my counter to that. Gamers have a right to choose exactly what game(s) they want to play, whether it be console, PC, fps, tps, rts, mmorpg, rpg, etc. by choosing to play an mmo, you volunteer to play in a game where a large population will in fact group up, find a guild, play with each other (get your head out of the gutter you nasty hooligan). So why people are still shocked about premades is still inconceivable. If the fact that players enjoy grouping and working together and outplaying their enemies makes players want to quit, they have every right to. But when a player chooses an mmo, he chooses to run that risk.
  8. I agree with that, and that's my biggest point. But if the option is available and they still refuse to use it, then they can no longer blame a lack of voice communication on their loss. It's simply a refusal to work with others in a coordinated effort to win a warzone.
  9. There still seems to be a huge number of players who refuse to understand that and mmo is a 'massively multiplayer' game. It's not just multiplayer, it's MASSIVELY multiplayer. They all encourage group play, hell this game even gives bonuses to XP, social points, and more just for being in a group. Still, people refuse to group with others, especially for warzones. Here's my little rant on that. -If you claim to solo queue because you're a casual player, then your win/loss ratio shouldn't mean a hill of beans to you. -I promise, losing while in a premade is a lot easier to handle than losing solo, because in a premade you know for certain that those in your group tried their hardest, but were outplayed. It was an honest loss, so props to the other team. -if you don't want to group and feel you deserve to be able to have fun by only solo queuing, try this then. One night go downtown by yourself, see how long you last. One night go with a group of friends, see how much longer you last and how much more fun you have. I know this will fall on deaf ears, but what about this? For those who still insist on solo play, what if BioWare added an in-game voice chat function, that way the PUG groups in warzones can still use voice communication. See their biggest reason for saying premades own pugs is voice communication. While this may be true, an in game voice chat option will remove that excuse from the table. Pugs get voice communication, premades have their voice communication, now it's all about who has the ability to work together and get sh*t done.
  10. It's true. In fact I farted on one once, returned his fire back at him at twice the power and one shot him. Was epic
  11. Guys guys, read the title. It clearly says the skill is broke. I'm going to start a charity donation pool to help the skill in its time of poverty. If everyone can pitch in 100 credits, we can provide this skill with a home and warm food, clothing, and it's girls will be able to attend a good school because an educated skill helps the players a lot more than an uneducated one. What do you say? Let's kick this pig!

    Live streaming?

    Hey all, I wasn't entirely sure where to put this thread, so I farkled with myself and here I am. (Farkle is Rock Paper Scissors you pervs.) I was curious as to how I might go about setting up a live stream. I don't know my behind from a hole in the ground when it comes to computers, and I finally have a really nice computer. I am ashamed to admit that I before having this Asus G75 was rocking a MacBook Pro boot camped with Windows on it. Now that I can run games really well, I wanted to start live streaming. Any help on how to do this would be awesome, especially since I'd like to be able to show people a few PvP tips and tricks and help them learn.
  13. I don't think it's actual Bolster that people are complaining about, but rather the core concept of making PvE gear competitive against PvP gear. If a game claims that gear shouldn't matter, then that should cut both ways. PvE players work hard for their gear, and when they finally beat the last boss of that hard mode, they feel like they're on Cloud 9... Or Bespin in the case of Star Wars. Likewise, if a player wanted to PvP and started from the bottom, taking a few games of some hardcore beatings, but finally earned enough gear to be competitive, he or she would feel a sense of accomplishment because when you work hard for something, you appreciate it more in the end. They will never bolster PvE, I understand that, but PvPers want some kind of pride in the gear they've earned, and Bolster removes that pride.
  14. Me personally, when I cast my vote, I don't even look at the damage done. I look at three things. 1) Healing done. 2) Protection 3) I pay attention during warzones, and see who is playing their role most efficiently. One time I voted for an assassin who guarded snow the entire game, but the republic never took snow. They always sent two players there in attempt to cap it, but this assassin held them back every single time. He got my vote. If I couldn't make a decision based on #3, I then look for #2. If #2 is nonexistent on the scoreboard, I then look for any other healers beside myself. If there's still no significant healing beside my own, then I just inny minny miney mo for where my vote goes.
  15. I wouldn't crucify you for that, in fact you actually made me remember something from III. When Obi Wan defeated Anakin and said "it was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them." When in fact at the end of VI, he DID destroy the Sith when he defeated Sidious. So it seems in context with the trilogy's "prophecy" balance bringer, it WAS Anakin. I believe fully that from the moment he decided to kill Sidious to save Luke, he was no longer Darth Vader, but Anakin Skywalker.
