I saw this somewhere also, and I can't remember where, but i do remember them called Whylls or something like this...

I'm the dimepiece that told you no in college

It's basically a Star Wars MMO tradition dating back to Galaxies. Wait, scratch that, it's basically something you'll come across in ALL MMO forums.

As long as you know that going in you're good. Just get in <Complications> guild chat and ignore Diggy making sure to pay way more attention to his wife who is way more interesting just because she chose to marry him, then get in vent and convince Lab to drink more beer with you [and then put him on mute]. After that run random WZ's until you see another guildmate in it (so that the rest of the WZ group thinks they're in a pre-made, but it's just a sad coincidence). At that point you crack another beer and then leave the WZ, on your way out make a random awful comment about Rudey in guildchat and bam...you're one of us.

Elite War Hero gear is only negligibly better than War Hero, and is a total lateral move for things like ear pieces and relics. I think since you'll have to re-grind gear at any rate, go with Rakata or War Hero - then level up and get all the new shineys. Depending on your class, you may want to invest in Relics of Boundless Ages, since I'm pretty sure they will be removed from sale post 2.0

How about whenever there's 2 or more smash juggs it queue's up the Benny Hill theme?

I give it a 2/10 compared to last years droid minigame.

OMG great idea. I feel the same way about all the fotm noobs playing my class. I played sniper since early access and levelled it when it sucked more than PvP mercs do now. I'm going to also level a new toon and wreck some noob snipers so they quit slopping it up.

As someone who only spends his free 500 monthly stipend, this is bonus for me. What this means is that the market will be flooded with the cool stuff that I like, so I can get it on the cheap with IG credits. Although I really don't see myself ever buying extra cartel coins, I like what it does for the game, especially for the people who blow all their discretionary income on it. They're just making my sub more worthwhile.

Man, I LOVE sniper wars. I can't help it. Whenever I see another cover screen I'm like a chubby guy at McDonald's with a coupon.

The last one caused Dr. Pepper to fire out of my nose.

I agree, I'm on Pot5 and I don't see any of this either. I've never had more than 5% of the issues you're describing.

You're absolutely right, especially since I've noticed (and it was even worse in TOR 1) that they say the same 3 dialogue lines over and over with different subtitles for each.

Add an element where possession of the ball does increasingly painful DOT forcing you to pass it around or die, and you'll have my OTHER favorite Warhammer PvP arena.

I'm pretty much with you, only I primarily PvP and rarely if ever to FP's or Ops. I still haven't scratched the surface of all there is to do and I play a decent amount. There's always some neckbeard in momma's basement who is going to complete all $10 worth of content within 48 hours and then complain they didn't get anything cool for their money. Short of an entirely new MMO that can be purchased with in game credits, you can't please everyone. I'm no EA apologist, but I've been happy with the content updates we've had at a rapid pace lately...black hole, section x, hard mode space, HK - it's been good stuff.

I haven't really seen anyone other than that dude, but to Gingers' credit, he's 100% consistent and runs the same speedhack all the time. I'm not really all that at PvP, but I've seen him and he may as well be allowed to hack, he's a brain-baffling baddie otherwise. Let's be honest, the only reason people cheat is to keep them at least somewhat competitive without sucking. That may be why EA hasn't dropped the banhammer - because that's the best he can do and he pays a sub to do it. Don't get me wrong, I'm against it and I hope he's prevented from playing (there's certainly enough evidence on this forum and the the PvP one), but I've met enough people who pat their kids on the back for an "honest C" effort to understand the mentality of EA on this one.

If sniper was this good at launch then more people would be playing it. They had to nerf the class up to make it viable several updates ago. Otherwise I agree, I can't believe more people don't play a sniper with all the killing and cc it does.

shocker, agents get stuck with the same gear we've had since war hero. Pretty sure that's the same color as the elite war hero, too. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's the IA EWH gear and pray we didn't get the total shaft. Then again, I shudder to think of what new gear skins we may get.

This actually made me chuckle. Let's not forget about Zam Wessel in Episode two who had zero alacrity and one point in ambush knockback pre-sniper nerf. She takes 12332 years to channel ambush, knocks Obi-Wan off the droid and he took zero damage because Anakin had him on guard.

says the guy who has clearly missed the point. Does this mean that the reason Jango couldn't defeat Obi-Wan on Kamino was because he was too busy crying on the forums that dps merc do crap for damage?

The issue of why this is so frustrating is because everyone's still learning the strategy. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the opposing team leave their node undefended because they thought they were supposed to lolzerg the middle at the expense of everything else. In the meantime I've witnessed some facepalm moments on my own team with undefended nodes and people racing past ball carriers to get into the middle. Some people just get it faster than others. All you have to do is talk people through it for a week or so. There's a lot of rage chatters out there in PvP who whine and moan, this just happens to be the one good reason and week or so to have them.

Not a V, I was also thinking pure vertical like you, but instead of elevators, you have to jump to the next tier or run up a set of stairs that could be controlled. Otherwise, you got it right. You can't really have one goal at the bottom because falling is WAY easier than jumping onto ledges. Having the ball spawn at the bottom in an easy to-get-to spot would make it a melee free-for-all with a sniper/BH surrounding that makes controlling mid in the current huttball so great.

I posted an idea in another thread. What about a more vertical huttball map with the ball at the bottom and you have to reach the top to score? There's so much strategy that would go into this. Tanking at the bottom - oh by the way 6 burstrunning sorcs couldn't win it just by running free... The DPS would control the flow and strategically placed healers would control the DPS. Nevermind the traps, Don't forget about falling damage from knockbacks... The PT enemy pull ability would come into play just as magnificently as the sorc friendly pull. I dunno - troll away. edit, looks like aboB beat me to it, except for the elevator bit which I'm not following.

I support this! More maps and more traps - exploding ones, maybe? What about booby traps that one team can lure another team into. Wouldn't it be fun to lure noobs into a fire pit that they didn't know was there? What about instead of the Sorc friendly mostly horizontal map we have right now a tall map with melee scrumming at the bottom for the ball and then you have to reach the top to score (meaning the ranged would have to control the end zone)?
