  1. Love how he blacked out his name but not anyone else...way to step up courageously and accuse an "admitted" hacker...so funny.
  2. Haven't had time to get into ranked matches until today and these PvE idiots are everywhere. It's on thing to ruin an unranked match, but really...? Come into a ranked match with pve gear and no clue what you're doing? Basically hands your team an auto-loss and lowers their overall rating. For the love of all that's holy, please, please, please remove at very least the ranked conquest achievement.
  3. The conquest pvp missions are flooding warzones with pve'ers who don't care about the outcome of the match. They are simply there to tally of the mission and get points for their guild. All cool, but win or lose, it doesn't matter to them. 9/10 actual pvp'ers don't do conquest missions and don't care to do conquest missions.

    Conquests and PvP

    I'm sure people have complained about this already, but I'll do it again...please, please, please...for the love of all that's holy, remove the warzone quest from thee conquest system. All it's doing is filling warzones with pve'ers who just want to get the quest done and don't care about the outcome of the match. The amount of times that I've had teams full of players in pve gear who have said that win or lose, it doesn't matter because they're only there for the guild conquest mission....it's staggering 9/10 times actual pvp'ers aren't doing conquest missions and don't care one iota about them. /endrant
  5. They need to end this aberration right now. Basically an insta-loss 3 v 4. I've only won a handful of those. Once the timer starts, if there aren't even teams, the match should end. And it's not because there were only seven players. This happens constantly even with a full server and plenty of people queuing. Stop screwing people, just fix the mechanic. Lop-sided 3 v 4 or 2 v 4 matches should never start.
  6. Yes, for the love of all that's holy, please fix this! There should've been a hot fix to correct this issue the very next day. There's nothing worse than seeing 15-20k of your burst damage simply vanish because some baddie is using this exploit.
  7. Hehe. They do have lots of the same effects with different colors. I still see tons of sorcerers and sages both use force lightning almost exclusively as their main attack, though. Interrupt them and they just wait four seconds without using any other skill for force lightning to come back up then use it again and still manage to wrack up 300k dps. Not the best DPS mind you, but nothing to sniff at!
  8. I agree in principle that if you didn't pre-order then you shouldn't be complaining. Still, it does set players back at least a week or two in leveling and those are the more serious players who are going to level that fast. Rewards and 5 extra levels before most people can even start leveling are not exactly the same thing. I'm all for letting people access the new story content, raids, etc., but everyone should be able to level, even if it is on old content. First game I've ever seen do this and it's obviously enangered a lot of people. Probably not a good idea to alienate large parts of your player base, fair or not.
  9. I have a 32 sorcerer and 51 sage. Apologies about the sorcerer part. Sages should be included. I agree that most are at very least using their dot and shield fairly often, but when the one channeled skill that you use is force lightning when you have multiple other skills, then the game isn't working how it's meant to work. I'd much rather have an interesting and creative rotation on my skills other than force lightning/pebble throw and I certainly shouldn't be a viable pvp'er if I only rely on one channeled skill.
  10. Haha! Bolster is obviously broken. Yet another thing that doesn't work how they probably imagined it would. My only hope is that 55 warzones actually are balanced and make sense.
  11. This is not a thread about how sorcerers are too overpowered, because honestly they aren't. They are just annoying. I've watched the vast majority of sorcerers out there in pvp compete using just one skill: force lightning. They aren't the best, they don't get top dps or kills, but they can still compete, and the fact that they can still compete using one skill only is symptomatic of the problems with this game. Why they would develop a mechanic that allowed these one button wonders to even have a chance using just one skill and why anyone would want to play them is beyond me, but there it is.
  12. So there are three wz tiers right now with the new expansion: 10-30, 30-54, and 55. I understand why they thought this would be a good idea, but like so many things with this game, in practice it's terrible. Why you may ask? Most sub-40'ish players still don't understand pvp and wz mechanics. This means you're usually stuck on a team with half the people clueless as to what the objective is or how to play as a team. The solution? Make wzs 40-54 instead of 30-54. Any pvp'er out there worth a damn know that it's all about teamwork and knowing how each warzone can be won. Sorry, but most people under 40 or so just don't have the experience to compete against higher level, more-experienced players.
  13. If you're like me, you do a lot of pvp, and if you're like me you also get frustrated at the lack of balance that often occurs from team to team. There is nothing more disheartening than logging into the warzone and seeing people with all recruit gear or stab farmers with no pvp gear at all. Unless the other team is in the same boat, it's an automatic loss. Call me crazy, but I don't think there should be automatic losses in pvp. It should be as competitive as possible. Unfortunately, people with no gear or all recruit gear significantly change the outcome of any match. Sure both sides have the same problem but imbalanced matches occur half of the time at least. The solution? Make valor useful again and tier pvp warzones with valor. Over 80 valor zones would ensure that you at very least have people who have been pvp'ing for awhile and most likely have decent gear. You could probably even be lower and still make for a more balanced team. Just a thought!
