  1. Holy crap, is that this week? YEESSSSS (The four healer commando death squad needs to roll out to Ilum...)

  3. And one off playing Rome Total War 2 lately. *Shakes fist at Az*
  4. Lmao there are only four active people in the guild right now (me, Crinn, Grizz and Sindol). You people are freaking hilarious.
  5. The way the bolster works in the lowbie brackets, it's that something needs to be in the slot but the stats themselves really don't matter, right? If that's the case and I'm not misunderstanding how it works, there are also relics you can get from the Rackghoul event for level 25, 35 and 45 if you have the rep (it's really low) that are bind on legacy. And yeah, they have the presence stat on them which is useless for PVP (although nice for leveling through a planet with a companion) and endurance which is sort of useful, but it being the lowbie bracket and with bolster, I don't really think that matters terribly much. As a bonus, they don't require grinding lightside or darkside diplomacy missions for rating.
  6. Holy hell, that's a lot of crafting useless materials for pointless achievements. LMAO ><
  7. There is no way this thread can possibly go wrong!
  8. Gah, that's not cool. I wasn't aware that was happening. Not in charge, so no promises, but I'll see what I can do to make sure that doesn't happen again.
  9. Anything with stats lower than the Yavin gear, actually. The basic gear set you get on Rishi, Oricon gear, and leveling blues will all bolster better than the stuff you get on Yavin. None of those pieces are hard or take long to get, so if you actually plan on doing more than a game or two, they're worth using until you get your basic set.
  10. Like I said, this week I've personally seen at least seven or eight pub side teams queuing for ranked PVP on just one faction of a roleplay server. LMAO. I know for a fact that on the imp side of my server, there's even more ranked teams trying to get things going. Which means that it's probably popping more regularly on actual PVP servers or the big PVE servers. You can ignore it if you want, but it just doesn't match up with what I'm seeing at the moment. They're just not playing ranked games every single time they queue up. Eh maybe. Personally, I doubt this though. When there's an actual numerical ranking involved, it tends to stress people out a hell of a lot more and stops people from playing. I don't think forcing groups to queue ranked or not at all would push people into ranked, I think it would slow the regular queue way down. I mean, don't get me wrong. I think that broadening the numbers of ranked teams would be a good thing, and overall healthier for the queue. But short of cross server queuing, I don't see how that will happen. LOL no they can't. Do they have the advantage? Sure. But can talented pugs who actually communicate, know their roles and class win those game? Absolutely. Being in a premade doesn't make players freaking invincible or infallible, ffs. First of all, being an average player or being casual is not a barrier to finding a decent group of friends play with. That is why MMO Jesus invented things like friends lists and guilds. Second, this is an MMO. Of course playing with other people, especially people who know what they are doing, is going to give you the advantage. Why the hell shouldn't playing as a coordinated team, give you an advantage in a game that's all about playing as a freaking coordinated team? That's the nature of the design of a game like this. Want to be lazy and not form a group? Okay. Want to be anti-social and not have friends and stubbornly solo-queue no matter what? Fine. But crying about losing because you're up against a team in a game designed for teams, I find that silly as hell.
  11. Who says those teams aren't playing grouped ranked? My team played ten ranked games this week. All of the pubside known pvp guilds were in the queue. I'm pretty sure that a bunch of imp teams queued even more this week. And all of this was on a freaking Roleplay Server. The "Pug or Die" contingent seems to think that if you want to group with your friends the only thing you have any business queuing for are ranked arenas every single time you log in. But you know what? That's like telling raid teams - "Sorry, but if you want to run a guild group, you must only play on Nightmare Mode. Otherwise, get your *** in groupfinder to play with pugs." Ranked games take a lot of effort to get rolling. They don't pop all of the time, or even most of the time. Besides, who wants to play ranked grouped fours for every single game even if they could? That **** is fun but really intense. Objective 8 on 8 warzones are more fun (in just my opinion), I just like to play that style of game better than what's basically an extreme deathmatch, but there's no option for those anymore. And sometimes, we just want to sit back, chill with our friends, and play some regs.
  12. No lie, this is probably the best suggestion I've ever seen on these boards.
  13. Agreed. Coordination, teamwork and skill generally do. Which is why people play together on teams. The only reason I mentioned it was because the OP was crying about it. However, gear is helpful in making sure you don't get globaled though. LMAO. In an MMO? YES. Yes you do. I mean, unless you enjoy being grouped with a bunch of players wearing 1300 expertise, there to farm conquest points, who sit on your one node all game crying on their keyboards about the fairness of PVP and yet fall magically silent when they need to shout an inc call. That's just the nature of a group based game. If you don't like it, there are plenty of single player games to play. In a group of four a team gets to control half of that ops frame - although frankly the fail on the other half is so strong sometimes that even that can't be overcome. Plus, it's fun to play with friends. Finally, let's get real. Not all premades are created equal. Grouping up with four people doesn't make a team unstoppable. I've been in plenty of matches where pugs end up winning against premades.
  14. Yes let's stop people from playing with their friends in an MMO, because you're too lazy to grind a basic set of gear and find your own friends to play with! That's a fantastic idea, OP!
