I have seen a crazy number of 3v4 over the last week. Talking 30% of games ended in 3v4 cuz someone left at the start, stuck or had a meltdown after 1st round loss... it's a problem with community rather then system itself but increasing penalty for that would be a good idea, ideally ASAP. It's ridiculous and stopping this would definately help with general state of SR.

A "ranked pvp a day" is this what I am seeing ? xD
Glad you had good experience. Hopefully it will keep going well. DM is different story usually but maybe it will improve there too.
Uhh flop, meant to be for the other thread...
-
Ofc they tell you those were bad mercs(regs have better mercs) , also when they say Sorc they mean Lightning only cuz understanding there are other specs is too hard. Anyway GJ winning that
Sorcs are great in all pvp atm, all 3 specs. Both Light and Madness do better dps then Arsenal and 1v1s also are competitive assuming both parties play decently. There really is no reason to complain about Sorc in pvp, apart from maybe not seeing huge hits cuz obviously one 30k HS is better then all other dmg...

Yo mama !
Funny thing tho

I still do love the Odessen map. To be frank, I've never understood why people didn't like it.
Maybe it's because domination players don't have much of a chance in that ?
There are countless posts explaining it....
In a nutshell pvp match which you can win by luck is not a good one because luck shouldn’t be a deciding factor in a skill contest.
Lots of interesting posts here absolutely not related to the subject

Most of Void Star comes down to strategy. How do you think it was when we had 8v8 ranked? If you didn’t use some semblance of strategy and tactics the matches would be stalemates too.
Most Voidstar were decided on kills or by wiping everyone and ccing at spawn.
But anyway, hope your post helps people to understand better

As for welcome back hope you had a good and safe holiday overall Eric Musco.
as for voting on maps in pvp its at the bottom of my list right now so I am not voting.
Even lower then informing us about it ?d

Happy New Year to all.
Tatooine Canyon I think is best. It has enough open area to fight, LoS objects in the middle and on the elevation too. Elevation helps ranged but not too much and it’s quite easily accessible for all. There isn’t many objects to impair movements, huts provide hiding spots but they aren’t too far so can be reached by chaser relatively quickly. Overall area has a good size. Doesn’t seem too buggy and everyone can be on even enough terms.
Orbital station and Corellia are also good and for the same reasons I think.
Rishi Cove is probably the worst.
-
Surely it’s better to have farmers then dead que ? At least everyone could play TR. Now it’s dead.
You could be 1500s and play against 1500s mostly, sometimes getting high rated , sometimes farmers.
And tbh why obsessing with other ppl ratings ? Doesn’t even give bragging rights or anything apart from title that isn’t even cool.
People can get 4000 for all I care..

I guess gearing tanks is very much personal thing.
I wouldn’t be able to tell you at this point what is optimal for sin tank, there isn’t many players that I see playing it , outside of lame sins in regs but I can say what I use when playing sin and maybe some debate will start
I have kinda all round build that works well for me in every mode that I would play. All pvp and some gf ops too.
Bolstered I get 148k hp but more is okay too.
1st alacrity threshold , (sometimes go for 2nd , helps with dps but I lose crit then so less good for me for Tr )
I get 44% crit but sure if above 40% it should be fine.
I get some shield so with Dark Ward I get 50% shiled chance, it’s quite high but sin gets couple buffs when shields
Some bits in defense and absorb.
It gives me nice balance between survival in cleave games and some decent burst. My dps tho isn’t usually very high.
2.2 to 3k in 4s depending on how much defensive play is needed, but burst on swaps is good .
-
toxic ppl are toxic ppl, doesnt matter if they are in group or not...
Its a reasonable assumption that you could have more toxic ppl in solo que only because ppl will go to any ways to avoid being responsible for anything, therefore looking for others to blame. Everyone would be on their own, blaming everybody else but themselves.
Most of the time in regs its the worst players that are acting like idiots anyway.

Tab targeting
Trinity
Mostly maps are interesting
Generally classes are interesting with fair bit of abilities
Team ranked as a good concept
Operations are great
Yavin SH
Lightsabers
Twileks
Cinematics
I did like objective pvp before it went to ****
Dunno what else xD

#Lhance :
Few teams on DM play lightning as dps and games I played against were very tough. Whether it being double lightning or sorc plus mara. Maybe it isn’t strongest set up but definately good and not easy to play against ; never stacking , high dps and lot of yellow dmg really makes an impact. Also utility is important and specs have plenty. I would take lightning in my team over Merc...
There is even more lightning then madness in solos or was last time I played few weeks ago.
Lightning players did great in last URC too.
Spec is good.
Play it or play against good ones and you will see.
-
People who think Sorc is bad need a reality check. Lighting is very viable with its dps, burst , mobility and dr/ survival ability. Madness too.
Idk but personally I find most success hunting healers on Carnage, Advance Prototype or Rage Jugg but mostly cuz I play those classes. Can see how Concealment could do well, also Engi and marksman too.
-
Only once I managed to gather 4 friends to play that. From that experience I can tell you that indeed you can pick a wz and challenge another group of 4. I think all maps were available to choose from but cant be sure 100%. We played original Huttball and was a blast, its a fun mode and could be great if it picked up.

I recommend reading the pinned guide made by Ne’laa where you can find info about resolve.
What I guess happened in the described situation was that he used hard stun 1st which you broke then used fear or whatever the aoe mezz is called and it got broke by him or his dots.
There is also a vid on YouTube explaining how stubs affect resolve with exact times and everything so you can also search that out, it takes too long to write all that here.
Edit: oh well it’s oretty much explained in post above ^
-
Some great idea here folks. Just adding few :
Make top dps and top healer in any given wz automatically friends list each other. Also tank if there is one.
Make friends list Legacy ! you know a player you know all their alts.
Make premades cross faction, dont let Pubs suffer lack of friends.
Allow 8 man premades, why tolerate 4 non friends.. ?
If you win 1v1 against someone they must join your premade and do what you tell them.
Add Premade option to Groupfinder, with all the perks, like extra daily CXP and role in need !
Lets make regs competitive again !
-
Do you mean there are other reasons to say OPG sucks which I didn't cover that remain valid, or that things I said are wrong? Anyhow, I would like to see the details.
Just to drop two cents:
Most what you said is irrelevant and what is relaxant seems wrong.
Rng of the map is the biggest problem. You see , map can’t be competitive if it’s rng dependent because you can lose cuz of factors you can’t control. Assuming both teams are competitive and clues in. Mostly mods are a concern because orange is far superior to say red. I hope you can see the difference.... ?
Same with spawn, you can just happen to be close to node that activates therefore having best chance to cap it ...
Where in every wz every class is suitable enough to guard also against sap cap (1 enemy) in OPG one person on several classes may lose node to a pushback
Anyway this is just few things that make a map bad.
-
Not sure how literally you mean this, but one of my chars is healer, and if the rest of the team is derping around deathmatching instead of capping (especially in Novare Coast), then of course I will cap in those situations instead of healing them, if otherwise it's a guaranteed loss.
Quite literally, like spam capping Civil War with 6 enemies there, while team dies cuz no healing... Same in Novarre or Voidstar or whatever. Its mad. Spam capping is bad as it is let alone by a healer getting Aoe to death
Anyway I like to win and will do my best normally but whats happening lately its not really playing to win. Making bad decisions, being brain washed by this forum adn/or general missconceptions about objective gameplay is prelevant.
Also using objectives as excuse to playing poorly is common. I can only see few People who play to win/objectively and know what to do, rest seem to be bunch of loud cry babies who think that dieing at enemy node 8 times a match or running around like headless chickens is objective play.
Anyway rant over, let them be clueless forever. Same with skank tanking and premades and other tragedies on the forums xD
-
Who are these "pure objective players"? I have never seen someone too fixated on guarding a node that he doesn't fight those who approach it (after CCing from stealth and calling incs is out of the option, of course). I have never seen someone so fixated on killing the ball carrier that he doesn't attack him, or a ball carrier so fixated on delivering the ball that he doesn't use damaging abilities on the people constantly pounding him if his mobility/healing/stuns are on CD (unless he is melee and they are out of his range). To top it all I have never seen a group getting farmed to hell and still beat the objectives, and it shouldn't be possible unless the other team is so narrow visioned that none of them even bothers to click the node while all enemies are dead.
There are no "pure" objective players. There are only the players who will give up a few offensive cooldowns in order to run to a far node, cast a cap on a node, interrupt a cap on a node, or standing stealthy and call incs when it means victory even as it means lower numbers, and those who won't.
You haven’t seen it all yet mate.
Three people defending pylon cuz objectives matter, tank and healer running off node getting stalled for 5 mins by 1 open and rest of team dies in mid, healer spam capping all game instead of healing ( there is couple of them that I see quite often) and so on.
It’s as ridiculous as 4v1 kills heroes ...
-
Fyi, difference between 242 and 248 is 6 lvls, 248 between 258 is 10 lvls.
Not only they make all grinding so far redundant and money spent on augs, but also make a difference between bolster and BiS bigger then currently. It is a fine idea indeed.
-
What ? excuse me, cuz Wookie cant be a healer ??!

If you're not too hung up about ratings if things go south, feel free to PM me - or reply here, OP
I'm online most days from mid to late evening.
If you post your character name(s) + faction I'll look out for you next time I'm online.
My guildmates were never big into PvP and it'd be nice to queue with a regular group again and work as a team rather than take pot-luck with solo queue.
It would be good to have a small roster of several players who can get together regularly and make scratch teams. - Anything has gotta be better than solo-q crapshoot!
Cheers.
Not too fixated for rating, always wanna win but no stress at all , it’s a game to have fun. Just having competitive games is great.
Yeah would be good to have few people who just wanna play and are able to improve or whatever
like I said all friends from the past left now so not many ppl to q with. I ll be logged in on Monday afternoon for sure and maybe sat or sun evening too.
We are on both factions , easiest to find me on Jugg or Guardian - Lemon Muffin.
Thx

It’s never okay to be toxic, rude, offensive to others. It only feeds own ego and mostly ppl just have a rage at someone cos they can’t handle anything.
Back in the past I would argue that it wasn’t the same. You see trolling other guilds or people whom you fight with in open world pvp is totally different from calling your own team autistic or just ****. Also the level on current insults is just lowest ever, same old crap, disabilities, kill yourself and yo mama. At least have some imagination... also it was done by both parties, means others were ok with it and engaged too. Smacking someone in a match is not the same.
Same with sports, try to sign up fo rugby team and **** talk your own teammates, think you will learn quickly a thing or 2 about sports and teams. You ever see world class sportsman raging at their own team like a self entitled 12 year old ?
Come to my gym and call your sparring partner one of those internet names and you get a warning slap:) or kicked out
Maybe if people focused more on bettering themselves in all aspects they wouldn’t feel the need to belittle others.
Anyway calling someone on their mistakes in normal manner is different.
