LOL. People IRL are rewarded constantly for losing. Last I checked, not a single pro athlete had his salary tied to winning a game - nobody fails to get paid for a loss. On an IT project, if the software is scrapped, you still get paid.
This "you shouldn't get anything if you don't win" is a joke. And not one that is reflected ANYWHERE else in life. Participation counts. Where the "I should get something anyway" crowd and I part ways is at the "It's my $15 a month and if I want to afk, I'm going to."
'And its my 15 bucks if I dont want to play with afkers, I'm not going to'
See works both ways doesnt it? The major difference is ... Now this is a shocker I pay to play, you pay to ... what exactly? Have the game running while doing something else?
-
Seriously though ... If your team gets 'steamrolled' and noone gets a medal you quite frankly lost. Why should you be rewarded for that?
And it's always 'I get into teams that suck' a riddiculously stupid mentality.
And having trouble getting 3 medals in a warzone I'm sorry to say perhaps you should avoid warzone pvp because if they make it any easier they might as well remove them.
'Movement medal awarded! You moved forward' that's the next step really.

I dont get it. Battlemaster gear is currently the best pvp gear in game. Ofcourse those players having it should have an advantage over freshly dinged and inferior geared players. Isnt that the whole point of having pvp gear?
This whole thread is stupid it's like saying 'Why can't I do Eternity Vault Nightmare in my 30 greens? When people in Rakata gear are doing it. So unfair. Don't ding 50 just stay 49 and farm False Emperor Normal."
And just for the record Bioware did state that after 1.2 the expertise gap would get bigger so that you would feel a bigger difference doing pvp with pve gear and vice versa. Also that War Hero gear would be about looks mostly and not so much of a upgrade gear wise. Which is exactly what some people are asking for here. But ofcourse people complained about that too.
I seriously dont get some people you cant ever get satisfied. I swear if Bioware introduced a 'Green button of insta 50, full BM, full Rakata gear a.k.a "I win button" ' People would ***** about it being green and not blue or something as idiotic ...

It allows a character to have force sensitivity without being a jedi. There are tons of characters who are not jedi but were able to use some force powers. Besides. You HAVE to have your companion out and you have to burn of your heroic ability to use those legacy powers. Yo udo realize that means you can use force lightning on a bounty hunter a max of every 20 minutes at the most right? It won't be used in operations, it won't be used in PVP. Only time it will ever be used is if you have a companion out. Move along.
Yes indeed. Well said, can be used when you are soloing and when you use your 20 min companion CD. Bioware calls that a 'Heroic Moment' where you can draw on powers you previously couldnt, for example a BH with Lightning. Since the legacy system is also a family tree, if your mother was a sorceress for example, you awake that dormant power of yours and use force lightning, yet again during your 'Heroic Moment' which is on a rather long CD, when you are soloing and noone is forcing you to use the ability.
I think its a really cool idea that adds flavour to your solo content, and other parts of the legacy that just as Daniel Erickson stated you can tailior your leveling experience. I am really looking forward to it.
But to be clear. Solo content, heroic moment, long CD. ANd for the love of god use your free will and don't use it if you dont want to.

The only problem I see is that if sprint is the new walk and advance sprint the new sprint, won't people just be complaining again for the same reason? That it is so slow once you have a toon that can go faster? Seems like a vicious circle to me. Genuinely curious here.
Exactly, been saying this since the first sprint outrage

Imagine this:
You have 8 characters from each advanced class all at level 50. You get a super buff, esentially giving you every buff from every class on each of your 8 characters.
Someone tell me the specifics, I am confused here.
Is this usable in all facets of the game, operations and PvP?
Or is this just usable when your character is out. If so, this makes 0 sense, what is the point of having a buff meant for leveling when all of your characters are capped?
If you are worried that for example the JK/SW buffs stacks they clearly stated they dont.
If you mean by 'Super Buff' benefits from all four classes then yes and usuable wherever
-
Its sickening, i am lvl 61, 17.5k hp's part bm geared, and its not working as intended at all.
No fecking way, enough pvp'ers know this, but these supposed guild leaders dont even ask about RESOLVE lol, sorry, just totally dissapointed by the supposed pvpers there.
There has been many posts about it, but no one from BW has responded and and said "sorry its fine move along", they say nothing, which is bang out of order.
Sorry, why even bother with resolve, if it doesnt do what its supposed to.
or maybe the tons of posts about it, are just clueless pvp'ers....
p.s, a simple fix would be as soon as the resolve bar is filled, it cuts the stun/mez from that point, oh no, a simple idea that BW hadnt thought of? lol sorry, shame i am not someone with any common sense so it makes it work a lot better.
This is interesting ... Since you state your gear which has nothing to do with resolve.
I wish I could drag myself out of my clueless pvp muck and join you high up there ...

Seriously OP whats the matter with you?
Did you miss the fact that you could buy legacy features?
Frankly not gonna expand on this, go to your GW2 this game will be better for it.
-
to be honest as a dps i find groups faster in this game not using a LFD tool than i did in wow as a dps using the LF dps tool. its always 30 to 45 min ques for dps on bloodlust, unless its around content patch time or expansion time.
i agree, it hurts more than it solves.
Indeed so do I on my Jugg dps. Usually when I cba to form a group myself it goes alot faster.
-
Alright how about this for a reason. We'll drop all the 'breaks community' as we've established that is something people value quite differently etc. The trouble with a LFD tool for me is that it actually doesnt solve anything. Really it doesnt. People want to say 'Atleast I can do other stuff while in que instead of being on the fleet' but we all know you'll end up being in que on the fleet anyways. But anyways its not a super solution to fix it all.
As I understand it people 'casual' people, people with 'real lives' etc want a tool because they dont want to spend time looking for a group in the fleet in the general channels. Because they dont have much time to play. As some guy some posts before this wrote he only has a hour, hour and a half tops to play after some school or whatnot. And the doesnt want to spend 40min + looking for a group. Alright I get that. I'm asuming this is from a dps point of view yea? Even so lets nail it down.
Without a system. "Spam" channels.
Dps - 30-40min or so for a group right?
Tank - 5 min or so? We all love the tanks right
Healer - 5-10 min about right? We cant after all go without a healer.
With a LFD system.
Dps - 30-40 min or so right? Because now whats happened is the game is spamming 'DPS LFG FP HM Whichever' for us in a channel we cant see.
Tank - 5 min or so probably less even.
Healer - Same as tank maybe 5min + since usually there's more healers then tanks.
What did it solve? Nothing. But oh wait! Make it Cross Realm! Thats solves it right?? Because then we have a bigger pool of players which means more healers and tanks!
With a LFD Cross Realm system.
Dps - 30-40 min
Tank - 5 min
Healer - 5 min.
Yey ! Cross realm LFD system finally ... Wait a minute? Still sucky que's hows that possible? We made a group of 4 ( 4!!! ) realms that MUST mean there are more tanks and healers ... Oh wait ofcourse there's more dps as well ....
If you dont believe me? Go search the Wow and Rift forums. Exactly what happened. First same server LFD tool. Then cross servers. And there's still whine about que times.
So yea that's why I dont like it. I am not gonna mention the community things yet again but I find it breaks stuff without fixing the things it's supposed to fix ...
-
Pretty sure every class can wreck face with a pocket healer.
Yes but a marauder wields two lightsabers while doing it

Spam tool? HOW on EARTH is LFD a spam tool? If anything no LFD Is a spam tool have you seen General? I am sorry you lost me there and frankly I give up your blinding by your own opinion and will all way set up a "WELL MINE BAD SO HA!" when there no backing behind that then your own word that not an argument that you claiming as golden fact, some one could have it 3x worse then you.
Me I have a fairly nice one I can wait the time but I have friends who cannot. And I am not much help as a DPS tree so LFD is a god send to them.
Sorry I’m done with this debate for me your points have been moot so far. you can go on if you wish I just don't have any desire to try and pound what I am getting at into your skull anymore it is proving fruitless.
That's the thing I am not trying to pound anything into yours. I respect your opinion and trying to keep this civil. We simply disagree that is all.
And just putting it out there the word spam can be used in different terms and I meant it in a term that implies you press one button over and over to do your flashpoint not that you actually spam someone. Either way c ya.
-
Counter argument : MMO must evolve to live you will love this game till you see the same crap you saw a year down the road with little change or evolution. Again really your point is moot in my book by this point it boil down to being selfish to your own life and not thinking of other who may have a harsher schedule and not have the time to wait around for hours to do one flash point.
To me you demand people wait on friend so they don’t feel left out when the fact is friend can make you feel left out just as easily by not helping and you are force to suffer for it.
Really? LFD solves que's and saves you time? And my schedule is harsh enough thank you since I dont play nearly as much as most mmo's do. You just want a spam tool you are just trying to sugar coat it. And evolution is not copy paste btw. A year down the road? Yes lets see then, why not? Game released 8 days ago? Very much so.
-
So your argument boil down to " I WANT IT MY WAY AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY CASE I PAY MONEY!!!" well.. so Do I and so do many people so you’re going against your own argument...
Not it doesnt not even close. And you've missed my point. I pay just like you yes ( just like I said ) but I pay for something I want and like. You dont obviously. So go pay for something else that suits your needs better or accept this game for what it is.
It's quite simple. A company releases a game. That is different from another popular game.
I am tired of that other game. And want to play this game instead. I do play it. And I love it. For what it is. Simple.
-
And my counter argument is still this: WHAT if they don't want to? What if you want to level a low level alt and they don't want to? And your guild to busy raiding stuff to be bothered to help your alt? And it 6 months down the line and most people have capped out? So what you should suffer case your friend doesn’t want to do it? Again your argument full of holes.
That the issue with most people in the thread you are thinking the here and now when there LOADS of lowbie ready to do low level flash points? What about a year from now and none of your friends can stomach that idea? And neither can your guild? And it harder and harder to find more people to do low level flash points? That what DF was helpful for.
If they dont want to as you say. Then you look for a group elsewhere. Through channels and not the LFD. Just saying the LFD brings more harm then good.
Let me also put it this way. Bioware didnt implement it in this game. I like it. I like the game as it is. I dont want it. Ever. No LFD is my stand. You on the other hand want it. So I am playing a game I want to play because it is as I like it. You are playing a game you feel is lacking. Now why should they change it so it suits you and so that it doesnt suit me? I am paying for a product I like. You arent but are trying to change it. That above all else gives me right in when I and others like me who I believe are the majority, dont want something implemented in the game that we consider negative.
You can have all the counter arguments you want mate the fact is, the game is as it is. There are people who enjoy it for what it is and there are people who dont. Those who dont, coupe with it or find something else.

Can't demand a friends to all way log in when you want to do stuff that selfish.
Most guilds get sick of doing the same dungeon for lowbies specially when more people start to cap out no one want to go back and redo old pointless stuff then you are wasting their time.
I was in WoW since it started the DF was a god send, case when people cap out it gets EVEN HARDER to get group for lower level stuff.
Demand friends to log in? Do you see that your argument is actually selfish? 'I want a flashpoint and I want it NOW?' kind of thing? You have a guild. You do stuff with them. You have friends outside the guild you do stuff with them. And you have random people to fill out the slots, and you do stuff with them.
My reply was to a previous post about what he said telling his friend to wait. So taken a bit out of context but nvm.
-
My counter argument is fairly simple but to the point about The DF: Which is simple as this, I'd rather tell my friend to wait or go do a few quest while I finish up then sit in front of a dungeon spamming General for an hour for 1 damn healer or tank. That waste BOTH of our time vs just one. ((And he can still do stuff while I was in Que like craft or dailies)).
Well that can be used both ways. Why do you need a dungeon finder if you can just wait for the rest of your friends / guildies to log on and go do it together?
-
I've leveled both a healer char and tanking character just fine when soloing. That is what you use your companions for. I dont really get this. That's why they are there.
I dont think we should have duel specs not yet atleast and give their version of this a chance before nuking it down. I myself prefer it this way. My assassin takes little damage when soling and deals a solid amount still. And my dps companions do more then enough to compensate. I am playing a tank after all so ofc my damage output over a certain time frame is gonna be less. But yet again I take less as well.
About the dungeon finder, I wouldnt like it implemented. It was in wow ofc but that was years after release to help people that rolled new chars get into groups and experience the dungeons they put time and effort in. At endgame it was tragic with the ques etc. People saying dungeon finder will solve 'Spending too much time spamming channels' seems to forget the 50+ min que's for dps usually. And for those that say 'We dont want it cross over servers' seems to forget that is the next thing you are gonna ask to have implemented that will 'solve the long que' which ofc it wont and we are back at square one again. But now with a tool like that for casual players wont have the same need to make friends, join guilds etc. Which is imo a bad thing because those things are kind of important to a MMO atleast for me.
Example for dungeon finder : You log on. One mate is online. Both dps. You ask if you wanna do the daily together? He says no because he doesnt want to lose his spot in the que for he logged on 10 min before you and que'd. SO you have friends, you just dont play with them. Back to sluggish pugs etc.
So no thanks mate.

So gw was not on servers was on something magical right?
Everyday i get more and more excited about how clever u kids are.
You live in fake fail world where u pay per month thinking it is for the good of a game while others take your money and have party times with lots of women.
But you are too naive for that so go pay and help them be with as many girls as they can while u think u pay for the servers.Omg so naive u are if i was a developer i would charge u 25 per month because u have no inteligence and u would pay.If i was in the internet industry sooner i would have become a developer to fool people like u and tell them that the servers need money u have to pay 25 per month to keep them up.
Lol. Just lmao. And your precious guild wars is based on micro transactions. Which you pay for. Just lmao.

I agree on most points.
The qustting is all the same 1-50, as someone else before me mentioned, nothing new or innovative, nothing new AT ALL with quests, which i am disapointed in. You spend 200+ hours (according to BW themselfs) to lvl your character, and all we get, is, "go here, kill that, use this, $$" after lvl 25+ that gets FU*KING BORING.'
I am now lvl 42, and i am still doing the same sh*it as i was doing as a lvl 10 on Korriban....."Go here, kill that, come back" yea, really good and refreshing when the only diffrence is the name of the quest.
Were you expecting the quests to fetch and finish themselves? Or that you would be a quest giver while npcs were running around for exp and loot? Perhaps random Chuck Norris jokes while questing to keep you entertained? Seriously
-
Pretty good first impression review IMHO. What kind of "combat system" does he expect other than one that uses hotbars? When you have a few dozen abilities you need to use, I really can't think of anything else that's remotely viable.
That was a deal breaker for me and made the review a joke. Seriously a mmo that uses hotbars and different abilities? A direct copy of Wow etc? No really mate.
-
Preachy post.
Regressive system ideas and some of you applaud? Really? This is a 2011 MMO. You should want more not less... Why do some of you still think in terms of EQ1 as it realtes to what we can expect from a MMO?
What happened to having fun? What happen to playing the game the way you want? If you do not want to utilize some of these options, then have the willpower to not click that cross server LFG button or speeder or whatever non-sensical restriction you want to have in game.
I think all of the preachy comments in this post are one sided and not at all representative of the people's want in game.
Perhaps because some people enjoy the game more when it resembles EQ1 more then Wow? What does these features have to do with having fun while playing it? You are the ones trying to change the game into something it isnt or doesnt have. So your arguments really works on yourself. Go play another game that has all the stuff you want of an '2011 MMO'. And leave this one to us who enjoys it for what it is.

So many of the complaints I see on these forums seem to correlate with updates Blizzard has made to WoW in the latter half of its existence...
Can't re-spec your advanced class? Re-level the advanced class you want! I hope Bioware never lets us automatically play a different class of almost max level because you already have one maxed out character.
No group finder? Oh noes, we have to actually speak with people on our server in general chat and can't just group randomly with folks from any server, and quietly run a joke dungeon without any coordination what so ever?
Not enough quests to level solo with? Um, grind. Or don't play a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER online game. Make e-friends, its good for you. God, even WoW had a fairly crappy grind during certain spots in the game. Deal with it.
Out-leveling content? I haven't gotten past level 12 yet, but I assume you're allowed to do quests that yield no experience. I could be wrong on this. Yet another thing WoW changed during its reign.
Faction Imbalances, how do we remedy them? How about re-roll to the opposite faction. Quit expecting other people to do it instead. Have a guild already you love? Then resign yourself to having long PvP queues. Already level 30 or more? Its only been a few days, it won't take you long to fight your way back up to that level as a reroll. No solutions are made by expecting everyone else to do the dirty work.
I just keep seeing, "the game doesn't have this" or "the game doesn't have that", and it all sounds like things that Blizzard changed to WoW, that in many player's opinions, slowly brought about the ruin of the game for people who appreciate a challenge or actually having to take the long way to do something. Blizzard's changes really took away the community aspect of each server, and to me, it took away much of the fun.
I think Bioware has done an excellent job so far. I personally hope they don't cave to most of the requests people have made, simply to keep their subs. If you are already unhappy with this game, by all means, please go back and play WoW. The rest of us will thank you when it takes less time to log in to the currently full servers.
Obviously there are reasonable requests being thrown around out there. But c'mon, WoW went years without many of the customizable options they have today, and many of us loved the game more back then than we do today. I wish I could say that I played MMOs before WoW, because from what I understand, things like death penalties, farming mobs for days to get rare items, were pretty prevalent. And yet, people have incredibly fond memories of those games. Buck up, kids. Or go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
/endrant
I know right, those lousy whiners are pissing me off as well
-
I'm not trolling. You think the lack of customization for the UI is polish? What about the wonky camera control that doesn't ever stay where I want when I zoom out? What about the inability to macro? What about the ridiculous chat box and lack of chat bubbles? Anti-aliasing? I can't even pick which warzone I want to play in. Give me a break.
Lol some people
No credit for losing a WZ ????
