Offensive play #1 Unguarded Sage Full-Healer #2 Unguarded Scoundrel-Healer #3 Unguarded Sage-Support/Off-Healer #4 Unguarded Commando then other Sages/Scoundrels that are unguarded, then DD-non-tanks, then guarded Sage/Scoundrel-Healers, then tanks, then guarded Comm-Healers, then Marauders (cuz you won't kill em anyways with their RIDICULOUSLY OP CD's) Defensive play: #1 Unguarded Sage-DPS #2 Unguarded non-tank shadows #3 Gunslinger #4 Scoundrel-DPS #5 Non-tank Powertechs or Comm-DD's #6 guarded Sage/scoundrel/gunslinger/non-tank shadow DD's #7 guarded Powertechs, comm DD's #8 Tanks #9 Marauders

I'd definitely agree with that, especially about the respawn-time.... Take VS for example: I've sai it for weeks now: If ppl have a decent team with 2 tanks and 2 healers, theres simply no way you'll be able to get even through the first door if they are on equal skill-level! It's not as bad on the other Maps, but at least on VS, BW should easily double the respawn-time.... About the healing: Maybe not add as much overall, but give the healers more abilities to burst out Healing in a short amount of time with certain restrictions/drawbacks, so they have sth to counter the huuuuge burs-DMG potential of most of the Classes.

I would be totally for it if we actually had enough players on our server to fill an 8-man team..... But this will be more or less the case for ranked WZ's anyways; if you don't queue up with a team of 8, ur gonna get demolished.

Mergers/Transfers need to come now, cuz the frustration-level of cross-server PvP on low-pop servers will be ridiculous: 1) On low-pop-server, where ppl can't actually find any games, they are completely undergeared 2) You have a much smaller pool of decent players on low-pop-servers (If I want to play in Top-100 Worldwide, which I thought I'd be able to, I'd have like 2-3 other ppl on our whole server I'd actually go into a WZ with) 3) There are tons of other disadvantages, like totally empty Galactic Trade Network etc. Although I'd gladly take x-server PvP, even before transfers, transfers should be available sooner, with that I mean NOW!

That's what most of the players on the rep sid on my server did and now it's completely empty here - way to abandon your server bro.... Besides: You think I'm really going to pay BW and play another char to 50, although they're screwing their costumers over right now? Hell no - I've unsubbed!

The time is LOOOOONG overdue... I think BW could've prevented A LOT of the nearly half a MIO unsubs if they reacted fast enough and get ppl on well-populated servers, cuz even if it was better a few weeks ago (now PvP is almost unplayable on my server rep side), the disappointment of 1.2. needed to be compensated by at least having full servers. So no: It's not time - it's too late.

Exactly, I think there can't be enough Threads like this, cuz maybe then, BW will realize that they have their Priorities all wrong and focus on a huge part of players that simply cannot enjoy any of the content. I also encourage players on high-pop servers to support this notion, cuz if all the low-pop-server players unsub, you will suffer from it as well in the long run. Get hits on those threads, comment positively on it instead of being a whise-*** etc. And yeah, unsub your subs if you still have some days left to send a message to BW; it's probably the only way they'll react to the Problem. On our server yesterday, the ppl in my guild were so frustrated and upset (and we're the last ppl standing on our server, enduring ridiculous waiting-hours to WZ and facing overgeared Imps that have 3-4 times the players and have been PvP'ing all day) that even we decided all to unsub.

I don't think so, but I strongly urge you to cancel your sub (you will still have the days left to play, but you will send a very clear message to BW). The way BW handles their customer, they don't deserve anything else than mass unsubs, maybe then they'll realize that time spent on stupid legacy-stuff is better spent on transfers, mergers and X-server ranked 8-man PvP and later on other PvP-content.

Or Server-Transfers.... For my costly monthly sub, I can "enjoy" the lackluster PvP-content for about 2-3 hours per day and it's getting less by the day.

please go back to the hole you crawled out of.... Once again I will refer to Guild Wars, the MMO that has done everything right concerning balanced and skill-intensive PvP: - Gear didn't matter, cuz you could make a PvP-char on maxlevel and maxgear almost instantly. - For PvE-players and gearfarmers, you could get better looking gear, which was enough. - For PvP-Rewards, you had awesome Emotes, Bronze-/Silver- and Gold-framed capes and a ladder, which was enough as well. The notion that you have to have PvP-gear to give ppl incentive to play PvP is ridiculous and a stone-aged carry-over from WoW, which IMHO, had absolutely horrible PvP.

my server is dead too and very soon the whle game will follow.... BW doesn't seem to care and stil thinks ppl give a flying fart about legacy.....

fantastic, another thing for BW to waste their time on while the servers are dying and the whole pvp-community is leaving....

I've cancelled today and I'm reaaaaally pissed off at BW/EA and it will take a lot of effort not only to get me back to SWtOR, but also for me to buy anything related to BW or EA in my future. They royally screwed me over, investing so much money and time into a game that I thought had so much potential in regards to PvP and it took alot for me to cancel my subscription, but BW found a way.... And I thought Blizzard or other game-companies had bad customer-support when ppl ranted about bad balance in SC2 or no LAN-support and stuff, but woooooow, BW managed to top that, run around it in circles and put a sh**-cherry on top of it.

there can't be enough threads like that atm. This game has one foot in the grave and it's mostly cuz of lowpop servers...

/signed

I'm guessing ur on a high-pop server?

Bei uns auf Blotus isses dasselbe: vor 18 Uhr gehen für die reps vl. 2-3 BG's auf, dann ab 18 Uhr die ersten paar mit 4-6 Leuten und von 19-22 Uhr oder so findeste alle 30 min wenigstens ein volles team... Dafür zahle ich ned monatlich, darum habe ich heute auch mein Abo gekündigt.

I've actually never seen an MMO that had so much potential in PvP as SWtOR and such a good balance for a young game.... THEN BW F'D IT UP ROYALLY.... First there was 1.2. that made balance and pvp in general worse, while also not giving us what we hoped for - tons of ppl on our server unsubbed. then we get nothing for so long that more ppl unsub. now we have empty servers and no pvp at all and BW doesn't give a flying fart - the last few hardcore-pvp-players on our server (including myself) unsub. I really don't know what went wrong there.... Btw. I'm not talking about open PvP and stuff like that, that's a whoooole other s***storm....

Actually, it was the smartest decision BW has made in quite some time.... On our server, we get a few hours of PvP while the imps get WZ's all day long. And if we finally get a WZ, we fight with 6 ppl against overgeared imps - 8 of course. Without the recent change, it wouldn't make sense to even attempt to get the daily done and I wouldn't log in at all, not even for the 2-3 hours of semi-decent PvP we get per day...

haven't they published numbers very recently where they stated that subs went down from 1.7 mio to 1.3 or sth like that since march? And it's not only the subs that dropped, the playtime in total must've dropped incredibly and the server that were low, definitely got lower, cuz ppl that are still subscribed stopped playing as much or are switching to other servers. The sub-drops actually point a more optimistic picture than what's really going on, on at least the lower half of the servers in terms of pop: - a lot of unsubs - a lot less active players - ppl switching to other servers - ppl twinking (albeit on the same server) because on the higher level, nothing is going on I cannot believe how BW can be that ignorant and spit on the paying customer by always repeating the same stuff whilst not giving an exact time-window.... although, as we've seen before, a clear time-window wouldn't actually mean anything... I really wonder what the BW-guys are doing...... I've seen the guild summit and I thought: those are some intelligent and funny dudes..... how can they F this wonderful game up so badly?

Well, the most important aspect about PvP is being able to play it, right? Well, on my server, I can't for 80% of the day and in the other few hours, we don't get full teams against imps that were able to play for hours longer against themselves. The first and foremost priority that exists now for PvP is server-transfers/mergers, everything else, not even just concerning PvP, but the whole game, can just w8. There is no Bug that needs to be fixed or feature they want to implement more important than making sure your subscribers are actually having a MULTIPLAYER experience and are able to play the content.

They don't know what's going on.... they said the subscriber-drops is due to casual-gamers (what they are saying here is that they were players that would've gone anyways and wash their hands of all responsibility). But it's not about casual players at all, it's about ppl basically PAYING FOR A SINGLE-PLAYER EXPERIENCE!!!!! I've played tons of games with no monthly subscriptions that had better service to online players than this game - it makes me horrendously mad that I've already payd for 2 additional months (even though I've cancelled today) because I really thought: this game is so awesome; it's bad now on our server, but it will get better and I'll keep on playing anyways. But BW actually managed to get me to quit this game, that could've been an incredibly nice experience for months and years to come....

Jepp, it's just sad; this game seriously has so much potential, but BW doesn't know what they're doing and they'll destroy this game within the next month or two...

Server-Transerfs is the only way to cure faction imbalance and lost servers: Just only allow a certain amount of Imps/reps in total on a server and you have full servers and faction-balance. And if sm1 really wants on a server to join an already Overpopulated side, make him pay MOOONEEYYYY and things will balance themselves out quite quickly...

definitely and with 100% certainty NOT. I've actually cancelled my subscription today. Good Job BW of completely and utterly F'ing up what could've been a really good game by having the worst customer-service in any game I've ever seen.
