I still have a ticket open that i opened the 25th of October... I think we are all screwed response wise:P maybe after chapter x is done. Till then just buy stuff with CC cause EA wants your money

No sadly still no response. I know they must be busy with all the bugs etc but on the other hand if you know you are going to release something that will be such a major change you might want to allocate some resources in to your customer support. If you buy something in a store and you send them an email you expect to at least get some form of response. 1-3 days is acceptable although still not really fast, in WOW it takes them around 72 hours when they are delayed and it was usually a lot faster. Lets hope it is thanks to the KOTFE release and will be back to normal soon.

I posted this here since I could not find the answer, BW states that due to the release of the new expansion ticket response times have gone up. I would like to know what the ETA is for an answer at the moment. I have an unresolved ticket that seems to take 5 days already to respond. Usually they have been quite fast with their responses with only one time taking 3 days. Calling the number that is listed for support only works for billing and account problems, even if you are to busy to fix my problem right now just knowing when it will be fixed will greatly alleviate my "gamestress" It's not like I'm stuck and can't move my character but my issue is preventing my gameplay experience severely enough for me to refrain from PVP (which is what i mainly do ingame) atm.. Thank you in advance

Maybe if they would upgrade the other two marauder specs you would see less smashing around. I used to love carnarge but in PVP where everyone has a knockback and a few stuns it seems, i have trouble laying down the pain when my gore buff is active. Compare this 4.5 second window to the 20 second one i get in rage plus in rage i get to obliterate right back onto the platform i just got knocked off in huttball. If they make just one spec viable ofc you will see a lot of them, and it doesnt help that this tree is the dps tree for jugs aswell. Please make the gore buff last longer, or grant immunity to stuns/knockbacks, make ravage a stun instead of a snare when specced and change the berserk buff we get, i feel rage has a far better one atm. Its nice to get a castingspeed buff but i'm allready micromanaging rage in this spec. As for anihilation, i would say it has the same micromanagement issues with keeping up your dots and buffs, and i think the self heal could be a bit upgraded or make the dots so that they cannot be cleansed.

This might be how it was intended but it is not how it is implemented at all, level 53 mh and oh outperform my augmented partisan weapons even. Bolster should make it so that you dont have a 60% damage gap between you and the geared and i could live with bolster putting pve gear like 20% under that of PVP gear but this is just ******** on biowares part. I do not want a fair playing field where everybody gets even stats out of the box, i like to min/max and get the best gear and when i do so after months of work then yes, maybe i'm crazy but hear this,.. i want it to be better then what i had before... This is an MMO the mechanic you are seeking is called FPS or 3rd person shooter

+10 haha lol they probably sold it to repay for a youtube reinacting wipefest

I wish you worked at bioware:), they must really hate PVP there,.. maybe they will replace it with a pazaak minigame where you have to buy your cards on the cartel market

so the fact that i drive at 300kmh means that there is no speedlimit? Or try beating a 8 player premade with a pug and still say its not about teamplay.

That is so true haha i love the gym analogy i love going to the gym like 4 -5 days a week but if i would stop growing muscle i wouldnt think it would be fun and i dont think i would go anymore. I wantthat carrot at the end of the stick, i think most people would quit their jobs if they wouldnt get paid too. Everything in life is about input vs reward

Then they should remove expertise and make level 72 gear available through pvp, it should be harder to get then partisan ofc, that way you have 2 paths to achieve the same level of gear. But bolstering one type of gear only isnt leveling the playingfield at all. It just caters to one type of player having the best of both worlds. I can handle it when someone who has worked hard to get the highest tier of raidgear is on par with the highest pvp gear, i dont however want to be forced to raid to get the bis gear. But what really gets to me is that if i play warzones for days/weeks to get partisan gear i still get lesser stats then with crafted weapons of level 53. Bolster is broken, please remove it in its current form

try getting into pve content in pvp gear without being flamed/kicked ;0

If they would remove bolster from rated play i would be so happy, or maybe they could give us level 72 gear but with expertise, so that we can aug it for PVE if we like and make expertise augs so you can aug your PVE gear, it wouldnt be as good as auged PVP gear of the same level for PVP and the PVE gear would be BiS when augmented too.

Why should you get a free partisan set? Augment the free stuff then to close the gap...Where is my free basic coms gear so i can get into ops without working towards it. The logic is just missing, if you want to perform then work for your gear like you do in ehm,.i dont know PVE maybe?

And ofc i should roflstomp players without gear,..imagine getting into the ring with a heavyweight boxer who has trained all his life, yes he knows what to do better then you (tactics) but he will probably be in far better shape and hit harder (gear) then you. What would you ask of in that situation? to have him blindfolded,..as your small window of opurtunity to train leaves you in a disadvantage? There is pre 55 PVP, basicly if you have the time to level a 55 character you could have geared too, be it in the leveling process by saving coms or by gearing your character. As you have the time to level, you should have the time to gear too....

I think that having free PVP starter gear sent to you would be good enough, if people where not stupid enough to sell it , MMO's are not and never will be about even playingfield. If that was the case PVE players wouldnt be elitist in their choice of tanks and healers. If i want a game where everyone gets the same stats i would play an FPS or so , in my opinion MMO PVP is about skill for a big part yes, but also about min/maxing your gear and working hard at obtaining said gear to be better at playing the role you chose. How can you justify that a piece that takes a week of farming to get has lower stats then something you buy of the GTN after doing one set of daylies on Makeb? Maybe i'm wrong and thats how this game should be but then i know a lot of true MMO PVP-ers,..the ones who like to do some effort to become better geared, will move on to a game that actually gives a **** about them and not only about their youtube reinactors

Hi all,.. so i tried to see what would happen if i just sugested to have us in PVP gear bolstered in ops just like they do with the PVE gear in warzones,.. Just for the record i think it would be a horrible idea just as bad as PVP being bolstered,..but hey i just had to see how they responded as they seemed to litter the PVP forums with utter B-crap that PVP is all about skill and we shouldnt have a gear difference,..if that is what EA wants with this game then il go play LOL they do that better tbh,.. but,..i want gear , i want to be able to work hard and get gear that yes i admit gives me an edge over someone who has never set foot in a wz (other then knowing tactics ofc) Just look at their responses, some jewels like" PVP is a minigame worth 0,5% of the game" Double standards galore,.. read and laugh at the people defending their right to have their cake and eat it too,.. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=658041

I actually posted this to see how the response would be if the character progression through gear would be eliminated from your favorite part of the game. As you can see the mere thoght of it starts a flame war. Thank you for your responses i will use this to illustrate the problem in the PVP forum.

sure insult me to hide your own ignorance, what i mean is that there is no gear progression in pvp. Yet when someone advocates the same in your precious PVE see what reactions i get You can gear while leveling its quite ez to max up your coms and you even got starter PVP gear pre bolster,.. where is my starter ops gear then. So saying i should do fp's to join OPS but you yourself being either to freaking lazy to do some bolstered pre 55 PVP or to stupid pre 2.0 too keep your free PVP gear is quite ignorant to say the least. I do want a maxed out hardcore PVP-er to do more dmg then a PVE geared new recruit, probably the same way you would like a 72 level geared DPS to do more dmg then someone covered in greens. But judging by your first response i am wasting words on a shortsighted infant

remove bolster from ranked and arenas, let the normals be a PVE daily grind then

I would like Bioware to level the playing field as it seems fair to them that people can enter a wz without gearing up and then do more dps then a partly geared PVP-er. I would like to experience some ops without the grind to get PVE gear as i only casually PVE. It seems logical that if it works one way it should work the other way too, right? So lets say full partisan gets buffed to just under level 72 items with a 5-10% stat difference. I mean why do we need gear progression anyway? isnt it about teamwork and solving the boss puzzles?

100% signed first we get level 65 max gear while pve gets 72 and now we also dont have progression thnx to bolster,..if i wanted no gear progression i would be playing LOL as it has been made for PVP essentially, i think the PVP comunity would leave as soon as a good mmo with more focus on their PVP players would be developed. I love the SW license but *** EAware, imagine being bolstered in raids as it is not about gear but teamwork and solving the boss-puzzle,.. PVE-ers would cry out in droves and rightly so,.. after how many halucinogenic coctails did they conceive this bolster frankenstein,.. Remove Lolster plz,.. or lose your real PVP players

well playing in noob gear isnt that much fun tbh,.. i would like to get some gear so i can match up with people and let skill decide,.. in the pre 50 we got bolstered but when i dinged 50 i got slaughtered,.. I know i need to work on getting the stuff but it is kind of hard when if you are verry verry lucky you can enter a wz once an hour,.. So yeah shinies arrent the end goal but i do need them to be able to do more then act as a support role for people that can actually do some significant dmg. Just let the bots give less medals or something or indeed implement x server battles,.. i just want to play anything but huttball:P

Ok i know PVP is about playing against real players,...but,.. since i'm on a ghost server Hex droid,.. 12 people in fleet atm... That is verry unlikely to happen anytime soon.. And since bioware wants to stall server transfers or merges untill 50% leave and they have to transfer less ,.. seriously. I just want to be able to play the game i pay for. And if that means fighting bots to obtain my shinies well so be it,.. PVE isnt an option either cause well you need people there to .. So either give me bots in PVP or allow me to take all my companions in a dungeon at once...plz Maybe then i can play, i want this to work so bad cause i just like sw,.. if this wasnt SW i wouldnt even touch it again in the state its in now,... Plz,. dont let the force grow weak with this one
