Ofc it will be fixed, everyone knows they are obscenely OP atm, only some of the marauders themselfes try to deny it.
Luckily many admit they are OP also.
I play a Vanguard. Marauders are not overpowered. There went your argument.
-
I have absolutely no trouble at all with Marauders or Sents on my Vanguard. None. But then, I don't start every fight with cryo grenade and expect hammer shot to do enough dmg to kill them.
Player smarter, not harder.

I actually got added to a WZ last night that was completed already, and apparently had been for some time. The scoreboard was gone, and everyone but one guy on my team had left the WZ. My guess is he went AFK after the WZ ended, and the stupid code these devs created began refilling the WZ even though it was over. I was dumbfounded.

1. Fire their PvP lead designer/staff/qa people and hire competent replacements.
Elementary math is obviously far too complicated for these developers.

Cause I play sniper and shoot all kind of vanguards? If you have no tank gear I will kill you no problem (but you can try to kill me first if u are assault specced). If you have defense and shielding there is no way I can kill you fast it will be 3 culls along with other stuff.
And mara what is so bursty-hard hitting they have non rage specced? Annihilate? Fully dodgeable and shieldable white attack.
So because you play a sniper, and shoot random different Vanguards who you "think" are wearing tank gear (or not), you know better how the gear works for Vanguards than say, a person who plays a Vanguard and has both sets of the gear in question?
Love the logic behind that.
You are extremely wrong, and only look more foolish the more you talk about this.
-
Wrong.
Tanking gear counters snipers and marauders (except rage specced ones).
Statistically there was (and there is) low sniper population and maras after very launch were considered UP (before people actually learned how to play them) and contrary there was lots of lightning/tracer (tech/force) pew pew so that false statement somehow occupied the forums.
Now sniper gets buffed and mara becomes even more popular and you can expect further rise of mentioned classes population.
So throwing out shield/defense vs mara that can have 100 % armor ignore (that spec get some buffs in 1.2) by thinking "tanking stats do nothing in pvp" can cause you some trouble.
Do not agree. I do MUCH better on my Vanguard versus snipers and Marauders while I am wearing combat tech gear (DPS), as opposed to the supercommando gear (Tank). And I mean MUCH better. They do no more damage to me (none, zip, zilch, nada), but I can punch back, and HARD at times. The same thing on my Sentinel. Tank geared Vanguards or BH's stand no chance whatsoever, whereas the DPS geared ones are a nice challenge. I am wondering where you got the idea the tank stats helped versus these two classes.
Plainly said, Tank gear is a waste of time for tanks.
-
This is different from a knockback, push, etc, How?
-
I agree for the most part.
The only thing I disagree on, is why people might not like the warzones. I personally do not like them, because I have played each of the three so many times they are just plain painful to go through again. Need new content, and fast!
-
Not every melee class has a gap closer, in fact last i checked vanguards and PT are ranged classes..
The quoted shows just how little you understand about this game. Level up to 50 and then comment.
-
This game has been out 2 months and there are already people with full battlemaster gear. It isn't even that uncommon. This is by far the FASTEST PVP gear grind in any game I've ever played. I welcome this change.
^^^^^ This!
I have played other games where it took a month to get a single piece of gear. That is of course AFTER you leveled to the bracket, and pvp level of the gear (so you would need to be lvl 50, 50 valor rank to start farming for champion pieces). This gear grind does not take long enough, and should be lengthened.
-
Simple fact is now, If i can't leave, I WILL AFK.
Now the spot I would have left for someone wanting to join when I leave will be filled by me doing **** all.
Happy? nice fix bioware.
Same here. That or I will still leave, and just AFK off whatever bogus penalty they put on me. I do not have time to waste on losing games because some nub wants to run around trying to duel every sith in the warzone instead of trying to win. Some of us have busy lives, and cannot sit on Mommy's computer all night playing.

They have ways to track this, they just don't do anything about it. It's a catch 22 for them...They can either
A. Ban the exploiters and lose a mass of subs when the aforementioned exploiters and their friends quit for good...
or
B. Do nothing to the exploiters and lose a mass of subs when the casual, non exploiting players get tired of being cheated, and quit themselves.
Unfortunately, since they handled all this so poorly in the beginning, the exploiting has become rampant, and there is no way to recover. This game is already doomed to mediocrity and an early death IMO.

Kill Traders
in PvP
While again initially I agreed with you. The title didn't do anything until you add the gear. Now they are getting gear. One or two pieces, no biggy. Fully geared, yeah it's a problem. Whether I'm bad or not isn't really the issue, although I by no means claim to be a great player. And yes we can kill them eventually when organized in a premade. If I'm pugging it, forget about it. Yeah I hear ya! Don't pug! They generally are poorer players as well, only because they haven't practiced.The difference between Champion and BM gear is so small, you shouldn't even notice it. A good player in Champ gear should ALWAYS stomp a bad player in BM.
I do agree with the assessment that the kill trading needs to stop however. It is not the intended use of the Ilum pvp zone, and should be classified as an exploit (and in cases where abused to the extreme, people should be banned. All users should be penalized). The era of ignoring faults in the game, and not penalizing people who take advantage of said faults to get ranks, gear, etc, should be closed soon.
As an aside, I have been told that using /stuck to warp back to where you died is 100% an exploit, and anyone using it will be dealt with in one way or another. I know a lot of kill traders use this as part of their system, so maybe in a round-about way they will get themselves in trouble for trading. We can only hope Bioware finally puts their foot down.

In my case I'm a lvl 37 Vangaurd Shield Spec. But as I was saying I think my main problem is I don't have a good rotation mastered yet.
IN theory from what i've read on other threads a good Vangaurd, even shield spec not DPS, rotation should make Sorcs no problem. So in my case it's more player problem than class.
As an Iron fist, which is mostly shield spec, I can kill non healer sorcs in 5-6 attacks easily, every single time. The healer ones I can kill, but it takes longer. They never kill me in a 1vs1 however. Even the healers are so focused on staying alive they have no chance to attack me back.
I would say Marauders are the toughest, simply because they can do some good burst and if I don't time my skills right, I end up taking a lot of the damage. I rarely run into one that is any trouble for me however.
Assassins are cake. I had one attack me after I won another 1vs1, when I had 4k health left and no cooldowns remaining. He got me down to 500 health before I killed him, meaning I took away 14k health from him before he could do 3600 to me. I only ever have good fights against them if they are tank spec and kite me a bit. Even then I can limit them by using charge and harpoon to keep them close enough for my SS and Ion.
-
I usually do around 300k dmg with around 100k protection.
My best protection to date was 188k. My best damage to date was 394k.
I am all burst with SS and HiB both on high crit with mods, cooldowns, etc. I have gotten the 5k single hit medal three times, All off of HiB. The highest was 5400.
I get the 2500 medal easily with SS every single game where I am allowed to do more than camp a node.
My spec is similar to Iron fist (Mostly shield spec, with Gut and interrupt cooldown points; along with 2 points in the right side tree for SS crits). I use Combat tech BM set (almost full set) for the bonuses, with the extra pieces (Gloves, one implant, belt) put towards the super commando set for some more HP and shield bonuses. I run a shield, not a power offhand.

EA outsources their customer service to Egypt/India.
This is why most of their responses are canned answers and I've never seen a screenshot of someone having a legitimate conversation with a GM.
It's a fair bet that very few of them play the game, let alone know its intricate details.
I had an in game conversation with a GM, after having a question answered incorrectly and auto closed on me. I made a new ticket, with "DO NOT CLOSE THIS TICKET" as the first words in it, and basically berated them for terrible customer service. A few days later, a GM responded to me in game and we had a nice chat.
To sum up, most of the "Protocol Droid" CSR's, do not know jack about this game and copy paste the same responses over and over. To get real answers you need to demand them.

5 tokens in 80 bags....hush
Yep, about the same odds here. I actually had a streak of 30+ bags that had no BM comms at all. I believe I just started another streak as well (about 8 bags in with nothing). The 25% chance does not work. Worst idea ever.
-
It's not stupid. It's true. You think I have no fun ? Geared and experienced I join WZ using my operative and on my server we win around 80-90% of WZ against Reps. Yesterday for 2 hours I played around 8 WZ. ONLY thing we lost was hutball against our own people.
Hit 50, then come back. I highly doubt you have any 50's given your statement about "Farming BM gear in a few days from hitting 50". I hope you are joking. Either that or you are a kill trader, who is probably terrible at the game in all aspects and will get facerolled in 50's WZ's.
My 50 BH on Ilum didn't need to do a thing since Reps just are to afraid to go out to the planet. Whole planet is ours.
So you basically sit on Ilum for hours trying to farm boxes for gear, fighting your own people for spawns (if you even really have a 50). Glad we got that cleared up! You are obviously the one doing the most time worthy activity here...
And I still move to Reps area very often while sitting in queue to WZ.
And do what exactly? It looks to me like most of the republics worth fighting in PVP are doing just that...PVP'ing. Are you doing what you deem so unworthy, by killing questers? In one instance you flame them for doing this, then you say you do it too? /bogglemind
Glad you have fun trying to kill low lvl players
Too bad it's still not worth anything and you will sooner or later return to us and get owned again. See above statement.
Take Ilum and sit in our base - then we will talk mate.
I made some notes to your flawed logic. Please read them and try to come back with an intelligent response.

Sorcerer/Sage is OP, everyone knows it. The only people that say otherwise play a Sorcerer/Sage, which also happens to be 50% of the population now.
I don't play either one, and I have no trouble with them whatsoever. They are annoying yes, lagging me out with all that particle effect animation crap that does not need to be in the game. The only time I have issues with them though, is if two or more are on me, and you will not find any class that will be easy to take down two on one.
Learn to interrupt, CC, use LOS, etc. If a tank spec Vanguard can burn one down in 5-6 hits, no one should have any trouble with them.

I gave up on TAB targeting in this game long ago (During BETA). I just click now, as the TAB system is so broken it's not worth the effort.
Oh, and I /sign as well.

Oldie but goodie
-
Have played both sides on my server, and definitely find that the players who stick it out to 50 on repub side are better players in general. No offense to any Sith out there, but the zerg carries a lot of trash to 50 on.

PVP on Ilum, state of the game today. Republic players have resorted to trading valor
with imps who have too much now. Sad day for this on Ilum, the Imperials have way
too many players already Battlemaster geared compared to Republic players and Ilum
is mostly dead. The daily/weekly pvp quests on ilum are a joke for Republic players,
a gift to Imperials as the armament caches only spawn in central where the Imperial
players have complete control over.
BW, You have created a system on Ilum for lvl 50 players to develope the valor exploit
for Republic players to gain valor somewhat quickly. They group together mostly at
central and allow them selves to be dominated by imperial players for a CHANCE to do
the same thing to them and thus gain valor points. Doesn't always work out as the imps
are under no real constraints to abuse this situation and often they do..
Bad enough they out number us badly, worse they are getting catered to in the armament
spawn area which allows them to get their dailies and weeklies done in a day. Sad day
for the Republic. Black Vulkars server is an Imperial Server, no doubt about it and thats
the way BW wants it to be.
I have been creating tickets reporting improper behavior for every single player, sith and republic, I see kill trading or using /stuck in Ilum. Eventually the CSR's will get sick of the 30 tickets I create every day and do something about it.......Or they will continue to ignore me and SWTOR's end game will be mostly dead in 2 month's time. Either way, I will be happy as I move on.
Either way I suggest every legit player do the same.

I went 30 and 0 for BM bags up until a week ago, then I got 3 tokens in a row. It's is random, and sucks, but I wouldn't say it is broken, aside from the fact that maybe they need to implement a system that raises your chances for every time you fail to get a BM token (even 1% better chance per failure would be better than this).
Too bad it's still not worth anything and you will sooner or later return to us and get owned again. 
Bioware dont change a thing for Marauders!
in PvP
Posted
I beat good Marauders 1vs1 all the time as a Vanguard. It is a tough fight. Bad Marauders drop me to 85% (omgash he did a whopping 15% dmg to me!) before they die. Tell me, which class will you go after once they nerf Marauders?
