  1. A 1v1 system leaderboard would be a nice addition to the game obviously make it same class vs same class, would be pretty simple to implement to be honest, make the match making good so great players ain't playing new players and I think that they would be fun thing to do more of an actual leaderboard than current solo rank. Also I think they could add in 8v8 groups for PVP, obviously not letting a 8man play vs PUGs, doesn't have to be ranked at all as we know they love there precious arena ranked system. Extra PvP content for hardcore PVPers and pvp guilds, amd would take very little effort for BW to add in the game.
  2. You have to admire Snave for his commitment to PvP, with his streams and PVP tournaments etc, but i think these interviews with Musco are a waste of time, its pretty obvious that these guys dont give a crap what happens to PVP, the lack of content and PVP class imbalances shows that already. Add to that the reaction time to OP specs ie Smash and now Sorc. Musco annoyed me when asked about 8v8 ranked, he laughed it off and said he STILL gets asked that question all the time, well Musco what does that tell you? Maybe BW should listen what there PVP'ers want for ONCE and give us what we want for ONCE and see if that improves anything? But i think Snave missed a trick with 8v8, when he asked for 8v8 Ranked to be put back in, he would of been better off asking for non-Ranked 8v8. Simply allowing teams of 8 to be matched with other teams of 8. Not ranked but would proberly help premades from top guilds stomping all over PUGs all night long, and i think alot of the top guilds would organize it themselfs, like they did in the past on TRE for example, thats NEW content with very little if no new coding needed. Because BW will never bring back Ranked 8v8 because it will show people that they made a mistake and they will never own up to that. I will take me as an example of an good pvp'er, when i say good i mean im good on ALL classes but im not GREAT on a single class, i have no main pretty much, and i think this is BW's fault. They have this great legacy system in the game which promotes playing multiple different classes all the time, so the problem with 4v4 Ranked is or even Solo Ranked is, that alot of the BEST players who play PVP are exceptional on ONE class and dominate most players, people like me, as mentioned before in previous posts, you can get away with it in 8's, but in 4's your exposed. Yet back in the day i played in a few decent 8v8 Teams and was really competitive. Yet in 4v4, the same 4 players will always 95% of the time beat the other 4v4 players who have little bit less skill. And believe me its alot less fun losing in 4 man ranked than it is 8man Ranked. But i dont think 8v8 is the be all and end all of PVP for the future i would like to see BW change it up completely as this Arena stuff has for me run its course people are bored of it, no one has really played 4 man teams in great numbers, people use 4 man ranked to wintrade for titles. Solo rank is rife with Q syncers. People only play a new season for the first 4 weeks then get annoyed and stop. TRE for example which is Imp heavy on PvP'ers, all good PVPers had to move to Rep side as Rep side has the exceptional Ranked players, so its easier to Q with them than against them, see leaderboard. We start the new seasons not having a clue for were playing for? whats the reward? Whats the incentive for us to Q for this rubbish over and over? How hard is it to have the rewards ready at the start of the season? You make new CC crap every week?? For me i want to see BW expand PVP into new Area's, see the following, these are hardly new in MMO but could prove popular and would be something new. If there not remove them? 1. Class 1v1 PVP. Have a leaderboard like you do now, 1 class per account allowed to enter per season (to stop cheating), best of 3 duels, over in 5 minutes. Give the end of season top 3 great titles (All Galaxy XXX or Best XXX you decide) and i think this would be popular. Bragging rights maybe but thats more of a Ranking system then Solo Q is. 2. 2v2 Arena. WoW has it, maybe you could try and do what WoW did, where 2 people make a team name then thats there team for the season, why not even link to it legacy, so any char fror this legacy can be in this 1 teams these 2 guys created. Bung it on the leaderboard. Would 2v2 be more popular than 4v4? Who knows isnt it worth a try. 3. 8v8 Ranked. Again like i said above, tie it to Guilds only. only people in guild XXX can Q together. Put it on the leaderboard, make it cross server. And see your PVP community reach new levels, all the guilds you killed when you added 4v4 will come back to life. Maybe all powerful PVP guilds might split into 2, as more teams will form. I cant see this one happening, but its an example of how it could work differently than last time. 4. PVP Q options, 4v4 or 8v8. Let people have the option to opt out of either. if someone would like to not play 4v4 they allow that. Id personally like to practice some more on 4v4 but it doesnt pop that often for me. And i refuse to be cannon fodder for people trying to build big ratings. 5. BW Hosted PVP events. I remember back on SWG when the Dev team would host large scale planet Rebel vs Imperial fights on a planet and we would get titles and rewards for partaking, think they was called Live Events, they would spawn in AT-AT's and Darth Vader etc, that could be fun no? What about a BW hosted live stream tournament, stop with the BS excuses we cant cos Snave swears, do your own then. 6. Ingame tournaments.. Open sign ups to the sever for a massive tournament lasting 1 week, make a dueling map, force the Q pop when you players agree to it or are logged on, put the brackets in game, this could work i think. Just a bit of blue sky thinking for PVP. None of that would really require massive changes or affect PvE in any way. I think the more PVP players that leave the game, the more the game will slowly die in my opinion. And i think its time you stop looking at numbers behind a screen and start talking to active PVP'ers asking them what they like and dont like then make changes based on that instead.
  3. Thanks for the information Yashia, i think i will beat your HPS record soon tho, you had alot of protection from guild mate that game by the looks of it to, im waiting for that perfect match and i think it can be beat I play on TRE, on Rep side as Bodybags
  4. Great thread guys, really liking my mando healer at the moment for some reason, i find it challenging but i like that. Im running similar stats to what you guys do, alacrity about 12% and crit 39%. Alacrity 1123 and Crit 1123. Any tips for rotation? I do goo numbers but think i could do better, i dont really use much of a rotation just use what i have when needed
  5. Message me on Clockworkz for an invite to Spaceballs, friendly guild of mature guys. Or message Zarrocc, Mreek, Paramol, Ulgen
  6. Imperial guild been together for a long time, very active and social guild of mature non-elitist people. Were looking for a few more people who want to play group ranked arenas we currently have a steady team but due to work n real life commitments we are unable to queue 7 days a week so were looking for people to be around to help make the team run everynight. We are looking fo some people with various alts who can fulfill a variety of rolls. We have a few healers but could do with a few others got a few PT tanks so a few jugg or assassins tanks would be welcomeas well as maras. contact us ingame. - Clockworky
  7. You fools need to stop complaining and step up to the plate im tired of carrying lazy asses in WZ's because they give up at the first sign of a loss, keep battling and we, as Imperials will rise above our Rebel oppressors and become the dominant force on the server once again!!
  8. Think the guild im in on TRE is transferring to... Centurion.. Imp guild with a ranked team.
  9. The powertech main hand weapon EWH has a base damage of 294-547 The Vanguard main hand weapon EWH has a base damage of 336-505 Yes we have more min, but why isnt it the same value?
  10. I like being the underdog, the weakest class, least played class, dont see many of us DPS'ing i can name about 10 on my server who dps as scrapper properly, and i like that fact, one day we will get a boost again and then we will be ready
  11. Yeah i did know about blaster volley, but does anyone ever use it? i tried at lowbly and it seemed buggy and ineffective on the battlefield, plus you need a upper hand, which we need pretty bad. Be good if this skill wasn't a cone effect and was low energy and would do AoE like force breach where you press it and away it goes on 5 people.
  12. So ive been gearing up my scoundrel at long last and have been playing as scrapper as I wanted a challenge again (was a PT) and my observation of the scrapper spec is that its not as bad as people say. I top quite a few WZ's if theres not many smashers in them, and i can kill almost anything solo with my Shoot first opener, for example yesterday i solo'ed a Jugg with 20k and a Shadow with 22k, the shadow i had 90% health left, yeah maybe you will say they need to l2p etc etc but imo its hard to stop us if we get our best hits in with a crit. The main problem i have is when theres a big close quarter battle, say for example Voidstar, where its harder to slip into stealth unnoticed and theres lots of AoE and lots of movement, thats where we struggle IMO, sure we have the flyby AoE but its not enough IMO, i think we could do with a Force Breach type ability, something that deals a moderate amount of dmg to say 5 people, that would be enough to up our dps and team play and also not make us OP again.
  13. Ive been doing the Records since 1.2 i was the guy who started it all, interesting to see everyone else doing it now. But as said above, im stepping down once 1.6 comes in and Stelios will take charge of the new thread.
  14. Yeah damn the host has been suspended??... Hope we dont lose all our **** on there..
