  1. I would like them to hire an animator and sound design so the new move for shadows given in Onslaught expansion had sound. Also a quality control person so the fact the new ability has 0 purpose ( Translocate 2.0 ) can be resolved.
  2. 1. Firestorm for PT. No weight or effort. No kickback from the burst of flames. Looks like they spent more time on the ground effect than the actual animation. 2/10 2. Blade Barrage and Ravage. These are what made me make this post. They look like that terrible CGI from the prequels where Yoda is zipping around with seemingly no weight. They make your lightsaber look more like a whip or a flyswatter, no weight or effort in the swings and much faster movement than any other ability. I understand wanting to change the class feel from channels ( which I respectfully disagree ) but poor animation replacers just turned me off so hard. 0/10 3. Toxic Haze, Deadly Onslaught and a few others are okay but don't make up for the above. Curious if I'm alone in this.
  3. Cross Server yes; skilled matchmaking no for a multitude of reasons though most of which are pertaining to making regs more competitive than they need be. Focus on better than cross server and maybe we'll get some results. /half signed
  4. Am I the only one who enjoys getting rep as I do dailies? I like several things about it, feeling apart of the planet I'm on, cool titles in relation to that area, cool emblems to keep track of in your legacy tab. I would hate to see reputation in daily areas become abandoned :/ Perhaps others agree?
  5. I am a PvP oriented tank that plays on the Ebon Hawk Server. I'm writing this because despite ranked popping strong every evening of the week until 12 am or so there is much room for improvement. The following is an idea I've come up with after accepting that development resources don't appear to be coming towards PvP anytime soon. That being said this idea is to capitalize on the innate replay-ability of SWTOR PvP. The Idea. An immersive information hub that strengthens camaraderie and gifts recognition to those who not just win but participate in ranked. How? Large billboard size monitors placed through out the fleet that rotate out information. Dialogue over the intercom on fleet that is tactile to the the week similar to the world event dialogue. Detalis for Billboards. Monitors would primarily display ranked leader board information and be in 4 or more locations on the fleet. Top 20 solo ranked on the server. Every guild that has participated in group ranked rated from 1-Infin. A new feature that would need to be implemented would be when selecting to Q for ranked the Q'er would need to select from the various guilds that compose his group which guild will receive ''credit'' for the match. This alleviates the problem of picking up a friend and wanting credit for your guild. The Billboard can also display various in game related information such as event plug-ins or issues. Details for the Intercom. The intercom is a bit more unique as it uses a new ''Bounty'' System similar to FF14 that works extremely well in said game. It only needs about 20 or so lines of dialogue. So when there is waiting parties in HM FP Q and Ranked Q an intercom comes on and says a RP friendly statement letting players know that there is a desire for a role. Example '' Baron Deathmark has commissioned a Huttasticly generous reward for participants in the Arena of Death!'' Another example. ''Darth Marr has given the Imperial Treasury permission to honor Soldiers of the Empire with valuable Imperial Assets.'' In the group finder tab there is a text box showing rewards for successfully completing a Q as the role in need. Tank-healer-dps ect. The Intercom is to provide extra sensory information by planting the idea in the players mind to participate in the game in a way that benefits other players. Benefit others by helping with Q pops, benefit yourself by gaining additional rewards. Why this works. Ever wonder why you don't care what people who play Wildstar think of your personal achievements in SWTOR? It's because they are not your peers. Generally people who play on other servers aren't your peers either. The people jumping around fleet on YOUR server are your peers and it is they whom you seek validation and camaraderie from. Being on the leader board doesn't mean much to most because they know 90% + of their server will never look at that. BUT what if your guilds participation on ranked was their for YOUR server to see? 12th place group ranked on the billboard is better than not being on their at all. No hiding, if you're not on there no matter how much your guild 8 man Q's Regs they don't play group ranked and it's there for the server to see. Some reasons as to why. It would be ideal that the information reset weekly so that guilds feel more competitive. Has anyone noticed hanging out by the PvP terminal with 10 or so of your peers? It's cool and I think this idea was born of that community feel but looking out at the disconnect in what the status of the server is. If we can't even expect a new WZ map each year we need to come up with something that the devs can maybe; just maybe work on. As far as the difficulty of implementing these ideas I look to the conquest tab and how it's weekly and guild related. Seems plausible to me. Anyways I hope that although this idea will not likely be used; this at least plants an idea in someones head that will be!
  6. Latter half is fair enough but the beginning would suggest dps geared tanks take arena's to the gas EVERY time which I haven't seen on my server as of yet. Also not taking the time to read more than half a post; then turning around and taking the time to respond to it strikes me as odd. Difference of opinion I suppose, I did learn from this thread to look out for Sin/Dow tanking with DPS gear though, sounds very strong.
  7. As a tank who is actually good at the bare bones functionality of a tank I very much dislike people in tank spec with DPS gear. Why? Because a decent healer and I can take it to the gas in arena's and hold 4 or 5 competent players off a node for several minutes so having mediocre DPS with better than normal survive-ability doesn't help the team achieve the W. But I'm very good at guard swapping and I think there's a whopping one other tank on our server who guard swaps well and he doesn't always tank soooo If you're into solo ranked it may actually boost your win % skank tanking. ALSO food for thought killing your opponent boosts your chance of survival. You might get jumped and screwed in REGS by 6 guys and wish you had several more seconds alive but ultimately maximum offense and defense comes from a balanced comp not a balanced hybrid if that makes any sense. 3.0
  8. Much appreciated for letting us know what's going on behind the scenes. I feel much better about paying my subscription cheers!
  9. Fixing Bolster is a great idea but the rest is just unnecessary and barely changes anything. The devs have limited time and resources let's show our support for the important things first. 1. Fix lag. 2. Fix frame rate issues 3. Fix Bolster 4. Class balance I'm sure there are other very important things I neglected to mention but these come to mind when I consider priorities atm. But well written post none the less
  10. Texas here, Can't connect to servers
  11. 1. Name - Jacket 2. Guild - Unguilded 3. Class - Powertech 4. Map - MMA 5. Stat - Highest arena protection 6. Screenshot - http://imgur.com/SBfxSEH
  12. I can win solo, I can win as a group. I can lose just the same. I have fun seeing how well I do against the best teams with strangers by my side. Go ahead and quit then, I and many others will not miss you.
  13. Realm vs Realm aka ''Large Scale'' just turns into an AOE fest. This game takes a high amount of skill to play because the correct moves to use are in response to you opponents chosen move. RvR is good though if for those who like to outnumber the enemy team and feel good when they win.
  14. All Time Greats. Playing a non fotm class gets you bonus points DPS I keep taunted. Recently active players. No order 1. Gbro 2. Winger 3. Agyo 4. Crystal 5. Uncanny 6. Somejerk 7. TheCustodian Tanks I give props to. 1. Theel Heals that make you feel invunerable 1. Sicarii 2. Eisys 3. Aehri 4. TheJanitor Legends whom are no longer playing 1. Celibate Devine 2. Anethia 3. Anima 4. Tidus 5. Shoryukin 6. Malkiv 7. Kaisersoze 8. Javier 9. Nihlatr 10. Clewat..lol
