  1. This needs to be an extended PVE/PVP storyline that put the hero's from the light and dark side on missions as fighters in a Hutt centered arena conflict that is part of a larger story. It is a wink wink between competitors looking to gain an understanding of what the Hutts are up too.It could be fun with matches having certain make up of classes for betting purposes or the chance to eliminate specific players at certain levels of play. The Hutts arenas are separate from all empire and republic traditional battles, but both of those groups have more question marks concerning the hutts versus each other. It makes enough sense for a quick storyline, and it could work fairly well for more extended/complex mechanics in the story /game play.
  2. up until 5 years ago I owned 90% of the books and graphics novels that were part of the extended lore. Given this history the game is pretty close. The issue is the numbers of powerful non force users in a PVP zone. These folks exist in the universe, but not in the same ratio for this game. This issue exist in many online games including historic one like War Thunder. The game need s to exist too, so they make changes to make the their mode work. It is kinda like forgiving a movie for omitting facts from books to fit the media. The Republic Commandos series shows how Mercs can be so good, but we just see the in game changes along with weird balance issues. If you are looking strictly at the fil releases, yes this game is not true to the material. The timeline this game is in comes from the Dark Horse Comics releases and previous games based on that.
  3. As per previous AMEN BUT sometimes leaving allows you to get out of sync with better players. Kinda like sherman burning Atlanta, not fair but effective.
  4. I know that if you can recognize premades, you can get out of sync with them if you leave early enough. IF you leave early and re-sync with them it is a good time to switch to their faction or go PVE. Yes this goes against everything I value in competition and life in general, but it is also a valid mechanic for winning that is in the game. This is also the mechanic of pre-mades in solo Q. One good turn etc etc.
  5. I found when I came back I had many characters at lvl 50 with old pvp relics, but the augment slots would take the newer level Augs and they activated in War zones. I know about the other crystals, but this may add to some of the stats being seen. PS With the low pops and the current bolster I do not feel like I want or need to grind the better gear if I work on knowing how to work bolster and play the class.
  6. MM is one the best specs for damage and is very playable at many levels. The BEST thing is It actually feels like a sniper in that the better your positioning the better your shooting. Yes it is tanky and can actually even be near the front. The Finnish sniper in WW2 with the high kill count used a sub machine gun for many kills and German snipers could also deploy with a semi auto for certain missions. I guess my main point is I feel more like a sniper than I feel like a Jedi or Mandalorian Merc when I play the character and it does not hurt my performance.
  7. Agree with the sins wanting their ability back
  8. I think folks see this to literally. Being canonized does not mean it did or did not exist. I think most fans will see that there are different styles and levels of depth. I also have a feeling Disney would be really stupid to not re-print the original books if the franchise does not die out over time. Comic books have had to deal with different universes for some time. I think it is a sign of a mature sci-fi universe with critical thinkers instead of true believers as fans.
  9. This is what Merc used to be. If you got a chance they died, but mostly they chased you around while your teammates tried to kill them. This was about a 4 year year cycle with PT having at least one great spec and sometimes 2 good dps specs. If the game last it will flip back, but having a class that you really enjoy and know how to function in with some extra work is a good badge to wear unless you are going for the top 20% of comp players (are there that many to make this a valid number).
  10. In PVP the positioning could be hindered by players latency/old tech and the possibility or accusation of hacking. Most of the time it was an extra wide gap between the mediocre and best players that does not exist with the "auto target" standards of the game. I am sure it is less pronounced in PVE but still exists, especially in group finder when you need somebody to hit for something. I like the way that they did not remove, but modified it so folks are not left holding the bag. I personally shell out the money for a decent machine and connection and live below the poverty line, but we do need folks staying in the game to get both PVP and PVE groups together. I personally have a sin and a merc because I for other reasons they are either top or bottom (no pun) at different times, but always fun to play.
  11. I have to second this. I have come back after a yearish off. I used to be pretty worried 75% of the time to just flat out being killed when somebody came out of stealth and saw sap capping as counting coup by a pro. Unfortunately I see sometimes 2 stealth at nodes with one guard just mezzing folks to troll. I have seen some incredible stealth folks, but not so much recently. Thank you for the effort. Maybe we can show them how to make a simple key bind to shift target, apply a taunt and shift back. I used to see any stealth combo with a sin apply this hurt too.
  12. Have acid start earlier by 1-2min with a 30 sec warning, but do less damage and cause folks to come out of stealth (or knock folks out of stealth after 15-20 sec so they can surprize). I would also be for a stealth cooldown even if not in combat if they stayed in stealth for more than 30sec-1min during match. I know computer games attract passive aggressive folks who can not fight in the real world, but do not allow this in arenas.
  13. The whole game in stealth, and not node guarding or even selfish dueling. (sa mentioned) I really want to start being the jock bully and mention the fat kid in the basement who never got picked for real sports.

    Rip pt

    Well a few years ago I had to change from mecr to PT. Well I have whichever one I chose when the pendulum swings. It is never fair, just roll with it.
