When is the best time queue for ranked on Ebon Hawk? Everytime I try... I'm stuck waiting ungoldly amounts of time which basically discourages me from waiting further because I know I can get more XP from unranked in the time I have to wait. Why can't we queue for ranked and unranked simultaneously?

I've heard reports of former hackers returning to the Ebon Hawk server in the last couple of days, so I'm not surprised about this thread. Many people have been alluding to the guilds: <bots> and <admiral acklays> with the charge. Personally, I'm not really what to look for when it comes to hacking but I do find it odd that a monumental shift in my win % on unranked has gone down since those reports have started coming in. Also, I think I have accidentally found a bug relating to instant one-shots in PvP. I'm not sure what happened when I was in the match but when my opponent was engaged with me I used /stuck which somehow reverted from killing me to offing him instead. I'm not sure what abilities I was using at the time.

Sounds like your problem is that you need to make some PvP friends, instead of whining about getting walloped by class combinations. People complain about the same stuff on Overwatch, yet they don't want to take personal responsibility and improve their PvP gameplay through a little social interaction. Your basically asking EA/Bioware for foodstamps.

If Mercenaries/Commandos weren't broke, they would still be making money off of their level boost tokens so my response to that moot point is a resounding yes.

I won't disagree with that. Mercs/Commandos do seem to be somewhat OP, specifically that they have such high survivability coupled with pretty staggering DPS. That combination needs to be carefully considered, they can take massive amounts of damage: a base of around 260k HP per takedown on average while they deal probably around the same numbers in terms of their own DPS.

Your wrong, pay to win doesn't amount to an evolution of player skill. You can get capped to level 70 as fast as you want, that doesn't change a thing about your ability to actually PvP. When I started off at warzones, I was utterly garbage during the early months of 5.0. I'm a new player who started playing around the time the Knights of the Fallen Empire came out, if that gives you a good measure on experience and overall knowledge of things. As time carried on and I continued to queue up for more warzones, I finally improved as I adjusted my characters gear (through my own crafting with warzone crates) and enhanced my knowledge on my class through reading several of the guides available on dulfy. I'm not amazing, but I don't get ridiculously outclassed anymore and I often find myself near the top of the boards. I've played all three aspects of the Assassin specs, they took a little bit of research to understand but I think they all serve their purposes. If your finding yourself getting outclassed by players who have upgraded via character tokens (who have blue gear) then two things: 1. You need to reevaluate how you PvP and perhaps try a different spec that suits you better or 2. Your going up against someone who plays other characters and they already have extensive knowledge on their classes.

Dev responded and said they were fixing the DvL bolster issue with the next update. Things break, welcome to the world of MMORPGs.

Anyone else experiencing a major bug when Arcann gets down to 10% heal and it triggers the final interactive bit where you move towards him with the shield to bash him one more time? Except the problem is, you can't move at all. Lots of bugs with this release and it's literally effecting everyone's gameplay across the board.
