that is because almost no one plays ranked because ranked is a joke when only 20 or 30 players TOPS actually Q if you want a real test of your personal skill do regs with pick up groups only track your own wins and losses determine if you are in fact, awesome or not Me, I am awesome.

Change thread title to DS circle jerk Medes is the best dps sorc on our server when you include objectives and consistent play he did so while being nice to people something ds has yet to manage, sparing yourself, Hop, who as far as I can tell you were always classy

It is worth mentioning that this particular creature one shots everything and was not meant to be killable...and the server that did it was Rallos Zek, the PVP server. It took hundreds of people who usually were after each other to organize and execute, and they had to do TWICE what had never been done and was never done again, because the first go around a GM despawned it right before they killed it. The community rallied and raised hell and they reset the sleeper to let them go again, then they won. Source: Ex guide on multiple servers, player from launch til 2008 or so and I have been at some world firsts that I feel too nerdy for even bringing up right now. I need to go home and think about life, I don need deathsticks

TIL There are people literally forced at gunpoint to PVP TIL People who primarily PVE are sometimes incompetent at PVP Something I already knew: most people who are really, really good at one of these tend to be at least competent at the other. SO essentially both PVE Heros and PVP heros are complaining about most people not being great at the game. Well, that is certainly news. I just want people to play even if they stink because selfishly I want the game to be around for a while. Also selfishly, I have had more 2 and 3 on 1 victories the past month than ever before. Bow down before the slayer of noob and tremble for he comes for your refer a friend. I sacrifice these souls to the great sorc nerf of removing skank heals and madness/lightning hybrids. In the name of NERF I SLAY THEE

The fact remains it worked on Shadowlands for a decent while. There is a stable PVP community of above average skill, it is undeniable. There are far less trolls compared to other servers, as well. Shadowlands is the future...maaaaan.

Dude posts positive message about doing your best and being rewarded. Someone immediately complains that they would rather just do whatever and lose. Heh. Thanks for tryin, positive dude.

If you are new to PVP or a murderer of old you are welcome here. We have had an influx of transfers and it has been going great. Moar please:)

Lots of people from PVP servers have recently transferred to Shadowlands. Shadowlands has many healthy PVP and PVE guilds. Overall I would call it a friendly server, but of course we do have a handful of toxic people in both communities. We have ranked daily during prime hours and people openly announce and invite for it.

This is a serious question, and I am not trying to troll you or set you up for some canned reply. I want to open a genuine dialogue here and maybe we can get somewhere between people who feel as you do and people you run with friends as frequently as possible. Why do you PVP and what makes it enjoyable for you?

BUMP! Rakghoul Tunnels PVP is teh bestest PVP! Come out for this tonight!!

Would you mind posting your computer specs? Thanks

Rakghoul pvp is so fun, count me in

99 percent of the toxic community on SL is in the same guild. They are just targets and comms to me. <3 Zuna

Why is that a big accusation when it happens daily on every game with pvp? To find the toxic people who most likely DO drive people away from PVP just look in the chat channels and see what guild they belong to. Almost 100 percent of the jerks on SL are in the same guild because they are the only ones who can stand each other.

I have been saying for years the best overall pvp players were on SL. Now the PVP servers accept that to find actual PVP this is where they should go. The trash talking is probably mostly the transfers in discovering how hopelessly outclassed they are against the natives. Personally I find it more satisfying to take out the trash talkers, so this entire transfer situation has been great fun for me. Don't let the trolling get to you, mark them early in the WZ and give them free trips to respawn.

How, exactly, is team ranked 'fine'? There are not enough people participating to make ranked anything 'fine'. If you are coming back for PVP, don't. If you are coming back to see the new content, most of which you can solo, sure. They have made it SUPER clear pvp is not going to be developed further. Also, the bugs that were there whenever you left? Yeah, they are all still here.

I would not advise doing ONLY pvp it would be slow leveling.. You can do class quests with xp potion up and Q for pvp and get both done leveling fairly quick so you get those new juicy abilities.

The versatility comes with higher levels. The best way IMHO to contribute towards your team's success is to play with objectives in mind more than the combat aspect and learn the WZs and how they flow and function. There are some pretty standard behavior tendencies in different wzs, with regards to If Team-1 Captures ____ then they will next ____ this kind of thing. Set a goal for yourself: This huttball I will run the ball. This Hypergate I will capture orbs and best I can and be sneaky about it. This WZ I will NOT die, this one I will follow the healer and protect them exclusively. You put yourself in a huge variety of situations this way and you PAY ATTENTION to how people attack, where you can stand that is out of Line of Sight of ranged casters while still being effective guarding... Save your commendations up, if you do enough to cap off your comms buy red and green WZ potions and save them up. All the extra abilities of course come in time and some will have uses in PVP that differ from PVE. you are going to die a lot, everyone does at first and everyone no matter how awesome they are will eat dirt over and over in SOME wzs don't get frustrated, get even by winning good luck !

Even if you are Imperial you also play imperials. Every body loses sometimes. On Shadowlands there are great players on both factions.

That is 3 v 3 not 3 v 1 as stated.

If you have 3 ppl on a dps sorc and can't kill it you are 100 percent bad.players.

They were more likely farming obj points by passing the ball back and forth a lot. That is how you see people with 40k obj score in huttball. Bad idea? It was the PLAN, dude.

So the guy on your team who did 60k total damage when healers on the other team did over 100k damage on top of their heals, is he a good player?

This man gets it.

What you are seeing are scrub dps numbers.
