I am starting to see that the only thing people care about now is swearing and complaining about how PvP is so bad and needs to be fixed immediately or they are going to quit. Does no one read that the Devs are working on this to try to and make things better? There is less and less constructive threads and more whining threads. I will lay it down for everyone: Yes: PvP sucks right now with input lag, lack of a bracket system, having groups disband after matches, requeue button always selected, etc No: You shouldn't quit because of all this 1 month after the game comes out cause they are busy working on fixing issues. See http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1276185#edit1276185

1. What would you want to see at a show this year? (Examples might include PvP tournaments, Q&As at the booth, photo opportunities) A: Tournaments would be fun. It would also be cool to one day have ranked PvP matches world wide meet up at like the MLG and such. 2. What topics would you like to see covered on panels? Specific areas of the game? General roundtables with the developer team? Voice actors? A: I would love to have Voice actors covered at the panel as I am aspiring to be a voice actor and like to get more information on what I can do to reach that. 3. If a show is in your area, would you be likely to attend a Community Meet & Greet outside the show itself? A: Definately. Hopefully there would be a way to seperate by servers as well to meet people on our same server.

OH NOES!!!! THE GAME JUST CAME OUT AND IT IS BUGGY!!! WHY OH WHY WOULD A GAME THAT IS JUST RELEASED NOT BE PERFECT!!! I CAN'T WAIT A FEW WEEKS FOR PATCHES TO FIX THINGS BECAUSE I WANT EVERYTHING NOW! That's what people who complain about pvp not being the best right now sound like in my opinion. If you want an example of a really horribly buggy game that was released and became one of the greatest games of all time...See Goldeneye 64.

I believe it should only be under level 50 if you can't get enough 50s in one game it will bring in lower levels to keep pvp at small queue times.

Sith sorcerers who are healers are hard to take down, especially if they have full champion. 9% reduction from expertise, 50% from guard, 30% from taunt, and their shield = impossible to kill. My guildies and I 3v8 a team in huttball.

Whats really funny is that the 2 damage reduction talents for assassin don't appear in the darkness (tank) tree. One appears in deception for aoe damage reduction and the other appears in the madness tree for reducing all damage taken. To become a tank in any spec, all one has to do is put on dark charge which is equivalent to frost presence for DK's in WoW. Increased armor/shield/chance to heal.

Simple solution: Don't pvp at low levels. Enjoy the story in the game and wait for bioware to make brackets...simple enough. I leveled to 50 and worked my way through all the zones. Now I can pvp cause ive done almost everything besides all the flashpoints/operations. I will say there are some very talented level 15-20s that can still do tons of damage. but overall, stop complaining that other people worked harder to level, achieve the highest levels to do whatever endgame content there is, and wants to pvp.

Yes, the assassin/shadow is considered a tank class. I refer you to the following page: http://www.swtor.com/info/newplayerguide/chapter-two The following line appears on that page: Classes that can play Tanks: * Jedi Knight, Sith Warrior, Bounty Hunter, Trooper, Jedi Consular, Sith Inquisitor

I love how poeple want to cancel already cause bioware made a game based on STORY and pvp wasn't put to the front of the list. Really guys? The game just came out and you want your cake and eat it too. Jeez, I wish I could have everything I want right away in a game... man that would be great. Why don't they just start everyone off at 50 with all the best gear and give everyone a billion credits to by whatever they want. That would be the greatest thing ever. Then I wouldn't have to work for anything. You should be thanking Bioware for coming out this this game. Let them do their jobs and patch accordingly. The fact they have done this much is quite a feat. Things should be cleared up in a few months. With love, Kam

So many people don't understand to guard bases in alderaan.

Nice addition!

I have been doing a lot of PVP, seeing how other people are playing, reading the forums, and noticing people are having problems winning Warzones. I am going to write down tips and tricks to help people learn how to play better, win more Warzones, and overall have much more fun doing these Warzones. I play a Sith Assassin and have a lot of fun running my Deception spec. Before starting a Warzone: First off to give a few tips to do before even going into a Warzone: 1. Research your class/spec. This is a necessity to understand what skills/abilities that you have available to you and how to use them to your advantage. You can't expect to win a Warzone by playing it like it's PVE. Search on Google for your class and how pvp is done with that class (e.g Sith Assassin pvp spec) 2. Watch videos: There is tons of them out there of how people are doing pvp to learn how strategies are used to complete the Warzones. One such video is this one: 3. Make sure you have Keybinds for all of your major PvP skills: There is very little time to be a clicker in PvP as it takes more than a second to find the button, move to it, and click. This also takes your eyes off your surroundings which usually means death, knockbacks, etc 4. Use a voice server: Our members of zerodefect use skype or ventrilo to communicate our strategies and what is going on around the PvP zone. It takes too long to type out commands which also takes your hand off the mouse and movement keys which means death, knockbacks, etc (see a pattern?). Get a group of friends/guildies together and get talking. I will get more into this in the Warzone section. 5. Stack up on Medpacks: This has helped me survive many times. While in a Warzone: Now that you've got the first section done, lets get into the specifics of each Warzone. For all Warzones: 1. Kill healers first: People stay alive less if no one is healing them. Huttball: Oh man, HUTTBALL!. This is 80%+ of your matches (depending on your server's balance of Republic/Sith). Here are some tips on how to have a better chance of winning this overly played Warzone: 1. If you are on a voice server, you have just increased your chances of winning by 75%. Being able to communicate where your team is allows for better passes, picking up the ball, stuns, knockbacks, etc. This is almost a necessity for this map as it is a 3-tiered Warzone. 2. This 3 word phrase will win you more matches then your can think of: PASS THE BALL!. Those people who think they can run the ball across the map with 5 people bashing their face in need to just leave the game and sit in a corner for a while, especially when there are open people who can catch the ball. Unless you have a dedicated healer, you are going to die and the other team will laugh at you. If you are about to die, it is better to just throw the ball on the ground away from you so it will reset. 3. Knockbacks: Use knockbacks on the sides of people while they are on the grates unless they are in front of a fire then by all means knock them into the fire. It is a waste to knock someone back and they land on the same tier or one right below it. They can still score this way which makes you look stupid. This also counts for those dumb enough to knock people closer to the goal or into the goal. Really?!?! That just makes no sense. 4. Use CC at key points: Don't just spam your CC right away. If you see someone walking into a furnace or they have been knock backed into a furnace/acid pool, use your stun then. They will die and you can feel accomplished. I know there is a Deminishing Return (DR) to this so don't worry if it fails. 5. Defensive cooldowns. If you are running the ball, do not pop all your defensive cooldowns right away. You will die right at the goal. I know from experience. Alderaan: 1. Defend bases: I can't even say how many times I have captured a base with a group and I leave first then all of a sudden the base is taken back because everyone left. If you are the last person to leave, just stop and stay at the base. Also, if you are that person defending, call out early if you see people coming. I know there are stealth classes, but if you see a ton of people coming, it will take them 10 seconds to get to you. Call out they are coming so you can get reinforcements to you. 2. Interrupt people capturing a base: This goes with defending, but it needs its to be said. If you see people capturing a base, interrupt them over killing a target. It is useless to kill someone at a base you just lost cause they will get reinforcements while they keep you from capturing it back. They can fly right into a base they control and vice versa. 3. Capturing a base: Unless you are extremely good and get a jump on a base with 1 defender, you should roll with a group. This will allow you to to get someone to capture while you block the enemy from getting close enough to interrupt. 4. Holding 2 bases is fine: If you can hold 2, you will win. If you go to capture the 3rd base, try to trade off at least with the enemy so you still hold 2 after all is said and done. Voidstar: Knock people off the bridge. Self-explanatory. Defense: 1. Stand next to the door: So many people run out to fight that someone ninja captures right behind them. Get interrupts before killing people. Otherwise, it is pointless. Offense: 1. Capture the side with less opposition. Period. I hope this helps you guys out.

Yeah it seems to go either way at times. I just do quests while I wait for queue.

True, but more queues means more commendations. Slowing down doesn't give you that much.

My response is the game just came out. Wait a couple months.
