  1. Are you sure ? It works all the time for me. It's annoying.. but it's way easier to do than messing with game files and having to download again .
  2. Just restart the comp and it works again.... That's the only fix I prefer for now. Much better than deleting folders and messing up the game even more.
  3. I played ranked with 110% again, but I rolled back to 105 after a few games. It's too much of a dps loss on fury marauder for me. I trade accuracy and get no benefit at all . DPS is much higher with 105% accuracy.
  4. Most players have no clue what stats they should be running. They use what anyone else uses. I've run 110% accuracy a couple of times on my marauder and I noticed that despite 90% of the playerbase saying its trash.. wasted, I melted targets in PVP much waster with 110% than I did with 100% or 105%. I always wondered why, but it seems to be working. With 110% your attacks seem to be having a much bigger effect on the targets, despite players calling you a noob in PVP for it.
  5. The new players trying out ranked now(plenty of them on dm) will not que anymore once the new season starts... Of if they do que, they do it for one or two days and then they stop. Last pre season I had the impression that we will have new players in season 12, but I was wrong. The names totally changed once s12 went live.
  6. You don't get it, do you ? It's not about " skill " , it's about practicing arenas... These players cannot play arenas , or if they do, it's totally minimal number of arenas / day . Unranked arena que would help them prepare better in case they want to participate in ranked so you won't have to vote kick them.. as you usually do.
  7. Bioware will never add an option to chose warzones. Some maps will kind of vanish from existence. Hutball and Odessen to some extent. Arenas will still pop because ranked players would use them during season to practice .
  8. EA kind of abandons it's games after a while and moves to something else... It was the same with SWTOR . They pushed it around until like 3.0 and after that the game was kept alive on minimum content and mostly cartel market. Other studios have a different approach. Also, this game is/was held back by a horrible engine that is totally unsuited for anything relevant to MMO's ie group content. Still isn't optimized for modern hardware and probably never will be. We just have to live with it and enjoy the game as it is. Luckily there are enough players playing despite " game is dead " comments since 2012 .
  9. Hi, I'd like to ask how does this work exactly. I read that unlocking all dialogues on companions gives me bonuses to healing recieved, critical damage etc, and that these bonuses apply to all my chars across my legacy on server. Do these bonuses also work in pvp ? Do I have to complete all dialogues on companions in order to recieve them or do I also have to reach maximum inlfuence on them in order to get the bonsues. Thank you.
  10. I leave every Hutball game I get... Can't stand that trash . The rest is premades decimating random teams, players who cannot break 2k dps , quitters and very bad matchmaking . 3 healers in one vs 0 healer team . This is pvp in 2020. Not worth taking seriously . I just farm solo kills and duels . That's PVP for me . By the way, people still can't play a 5 year old map (odessen) . Too hard to understand for most . Last but not least, most players suck in 4v4 arenas . The ones that can play those at a decent level are veteran players or players who participate in ranked. Most arena games are rarely balanced in regs due to matchmaking and massive skill discrepancies among players.
  11. The best fix for me was restarting my comp. Luckily I have nasa computer and it restarts very fast. But this is very poor communication by the devs . I am not the one to complain about this game, but how can you remain silent while your customers open threads about this game breaking bug every day ?
  12. So I need to reinstall the entire game to be able to play ? Doesn't work... and yes , now I remember that I logged in only once last evening after patch and played for a while. Had I quit the game and tried to start again, the problem would have showed ittself like it did today.. Now I cannot play at atll . :mad:
  13. Cannot log in either now. I started played some heroics, logged off. When I want to log in again, I am cannot play anything besides starting planets. Yesterday after patch I had no problems.
  14. I don't think that designing a new social UI requires that many resources and programming to be honest...
  15. Fair enough, but what If I told you that I like it the way it is ? The only problem is that it doesn't fit with the old chat window... It's like they made the social UI totally fancy new, while leaving the chat window with the old design and they don't look good together. This matter is really subjective . I don't find it problematic enough to complain about it. It's new, but you'll get used to it eventually.
  16. You just found something new to complain about like most people bored to death with this game usually do..... Move that social bar back to it's original place = fixed . Took me 30 seconds to sort it out. I'm not a fan of it's design , but I can live with it.
  17. Because this game has a dominant super casual playerbase that is not interested in open world ganking.... Yes, the days of being able to flag for pvp were great, but you could see it then that most players aren't interested in it. I'm sure IF the rewards would be adequate , a decent number of players would play it , but that is up to Bioware . They need to come up with something .
  18. You seemed quite eager ! What happened that you don't want to bother with it anymore ? I heard that they will reveal the rewards at the start of season 13. So at leas we know what we'll que for. But is it enough to motivate players to que ? No. They have to improve ranked rewards and reward those who win games.
  19. Read again the part where I specifically said that rewards should be gated behind WINS. You don't win, you don't get them... So PVE players would have try and win. That's it.
  20. As the title says... Team ranked is basically dead every since the mats were removed. There is no reason to bother with it , and people will not que for the sake of it. The same goes for solo ranked, a game mode that is losing players with each passing season. No real reason to bother with this one again, because the rewards are just bad , you run into the same 10-15 people all the time every night. There is no variety in the que.. same classes , same players . Compared to unranked that pops form early morning till late in the night, solo ranked doesn't pop out of prime time. So in order to make more players que and revive it , we need to add back mats add some kind of reward that you get ONLY if you win games . I'm sure you can come up with something. At least players will be motivated to try and win. And don't come with stupid excuses like " umm --- but we gonna get trash in que , me gonna lose my precious elo" . Yeah, there is enough bad players queing already. And in the end, it's just a game . Your boss won't get you a raise for getting top 3 flairs this season.
  21. Hammer station is the best flashpoint in this game. It's easy and fast and perfect to complete your conquest, your weekkly, your daily or whatever . When I que for random flashpoints , I want to finish them fast , which makes HS so perfect . 90% of the playerbase thinks alike because these are old content and most of us have done them zillions of times over the years . I don't want to spend more time in them than I have to.
  22. I hated mercs all the way through 5.0, I never made one because Arsenal felt and still feels like one of the dumbest specs in this game. Totally braindead. But... I decided to finally make a merc and I picked IO. Now , this is one of the most fun specs I came across ... Love on first sight.
  23. It's dead dude . In my country it's 7:34 AM and on Darth Malgus unranked already pops at 75 , arenas because it's early morning. Ranked doesn't pop outside of prime time and if it does, it's mostly the same people all the time. The interest in ranked is just minimal , 3 games running at the same time ? That is 24 people queing. That is very small if you compared it to unraked that pops all day . The interest is simply not there. You've made another change ranked thread which is good, but we will go into season 13 with nothing new as usual. They won't change a thing . They don't care, it was never their priority because it doesn't make them the amount of money that cartel market or other aspects of the game(PVE) does. Don't get me wrong. I play ranked myself, and I'd to see it have more people interested in it, but I've given up hope. Over the years there have been a lot of suggestions on these forums about how to make it better, but 97% was of those was never considered and only minimal changes have been made.
  24. The best par of this system is that this week I reached conquest goal on all my active 20 characters and I was able to play my main a lot. Before the change, I was stuck in farming mobs in ops on my alts which sucked away time from playing my main .
  25. Make a separate que for unraked arenas so that we can practice for ranked please. That would be a good compromise and the 8 man arenas would still have plenty of people queing for them.
