The ranked regulars(around 50 players) have consistently been trolling out every new player since forever. And this has a reason. They like to tell everyone that it's because all these players didn't meet their high expectations, but in reality they just want to play against the same 50 players all day every day. They DON'T WANT new players. Having only 50 players makes it easier for them to calculate who's in queue and decide what character they will queue on. A limited amount of players in queue also makes wintrading a lot easier. So that's the whole point. New players screw up their calculations, so they get shut out. At this point, I honestly just think Bioware should remove solo ranked from the game. The ranked players in general don't add anything useful or positive to the game. It's been toxicity, wintrading, botting and all kinds of shenanigans for years and it's not going to change. Unfixable.

Vote kick really needs to go. It's getting abused way too often. Yesterday a guy wanted to vote kick another guy, because they apparently had some beef going on in 2018. FYI it's 2020 now. Super dumb. Can we please get rid of it?

What are your main concerns with pvp right now? I feel like being able to filter out arenas in unranked would be a good thing for me, because i play quite a lot of ranked. And the 8v8 maps are what i love about unranked pvp. Especially now they got rid of Vandin and Quesh(thank god). Great maps like Alderaan Civil War or Novare Coast never get old for me. Also, the matchmaking system for unranked arenas often doesn't work as intended. Which means my buddy and I(both DPS) get another 2 DPS and get matched against a tank/heal premade. Which isn't really fair or fun tbh.

hi guys, i now have all gathering and crafting skills maxed out, but it seems i cant really make money with them. any advice?

Class balancing is based on PvE. Get over it. Ranked is too irrelevant as a game mode. Literally the same 50 regulars playing it. Hate to say it, but Bioware will never balance their game around the demands of 50 paying customers.

Yes please. After playing ranked arenas for 4 hours straight, I don't want to get an unranked arena Only 8v8 in unranked, no arenas. Please and thank you.

Find yourself a large yield conquest guild. You will benefit from being in that guild and the guild will benefit from having you in there. It is totally ok for most guilds to have solo players. They generate conquest points and this helps the guild grow. And who knows, maybe you'll get tired of playing solo at some point in time. A large yield conquest guild will give you a platform to start your group play career with. Do veteran flash points together, then move on to the master mode flash points, story mode operations etc. Group play in SWTOR can be great fun. Hope you continue to enjoy this great game.

1. Get rid of vote kick. Players should never moderate a game. Especially not ranked players in SWTOR(lul). 2. At the same time make it so a player cannot queue for ranked, if he hasn't got 306 item rating and a tactical equipped. Some people demand a full set + full augs for ranked, but i think 306 item rating and a tactical would be a good start.

Back then there was less desync and general technical issues. There was no force bound, which I feel like somehow destroys the game now. Imagine having a giant IWIN button, that's force bound.

Been a while since the last "nerf ops" thread. Yeah they're kings of 1v1s, always been. But still very susceptible to roots and stuns. And a class that can die incredibly fast if focused properly. I think operatives are fine.

Is this real or made up to get more viewers, followers and subscribers?

I'm hungry. I need food. Can you give me food?

Hey Snave, how's it going on your new platform? Rocking those 25 viewers, half of them unregistered guests? But I've heard the Chinese pay good money? So not so bad for you after all? Have a great tournament Haha

Ranked. "Serious competitive game mode" lul

Ranked rewards lul

I pay a sub and I queue for ranked whenever I want to dude.

Hah hah Flags were the dumbest thing they ever implemented anyway. Guess they figured it out by now and start reducing the damage done by these flags. Love it when I get 3v1ed and one of the *******es flags me, because yeah he's so good and now he's gonna show me real good by flagging me.

So true. As a Legit God Tier PvP Player(LGTPvPP) myself, I start to get frustrated by the low quality players in solo ranked. Remove those scrubs from my queue.

But I want POPS! *whine* But then again I DON'T want these scrubs in my team, you know my ELO *whine* Honestly, just do it like the "pros" do on DM. Destroy queue until it's only the same 30 people playing again. Result: Only "legit gold and top 3 players" in your team. There you go, problem solved.

And I've had prostate probs for years and NOW I'm complaining!

Ranked as a competitive game mode including multiple classes is dead. If you only want pops, it pops on Darth Malgus at prime time which is around 8pm Central European Time. Beware though, only thing you get is teams full of ops and sins. But if you wanna play those classes, i guess its fine. If not: Dead.

As long as tactical swapping doesn't get fixed, Ranked is dead as a competitive game mode including multiple classes. Also, ranked season 12 gold badges on sins will be near worthless, as they will only indicate that this particular player did a lot of ranked games, nothing more. Getting gold on sins does not include any kind of skill anymore. Which is a shame for the old sin players, who actually achieved high rating on sins before they were buffed.

Meta for next ranked season is clear: Sin/Op. Most ranked games will look like this: A total of 6 stealthers and then 2 guys on visible classes as insta nuke cannon fodder. BOOM! Mostly the teams with the most stealthers will win. Pretty predictable. Basically the merc meta just as stealth.

Which one is better for melting faces? Objectives don't matter, I just wanna delete people and make them uninstall the game. Also I want easy rating next season. So assassin or operative?

So Bioware. Now we had 3 years of mercpocalypse and the next disaster you get your players are stunlocking concealment operatives. Double hardstun your enemy while you rip out 50% of his hp bar in one go. Nice. At least mercs were visible. Operatives aren't. 6.0 is going to revive the game, but only for a short period of time. Pvp is going to be even worse than now, when hordes of stunlocking operatives 1 shot their victims from stealth. And soon no one will play this game anymore.
