I was one of those who pre ordered the game. took a few names and held them before server launch. did the beta testing aswell and all of that. I cant say i recall the name of the server we started on but we had a Guild called RED. we pvp'ed alot and it was fun apart from the extremely bad fps and glitches that basicly killed the games launch. Anyhows. we leveled up alot of characters. 1 of them was my precious. an alt named Sanctified (as i am named in most games) now i log back in after i quit back in the day and people are saying its fixed alot of issues etc and i should give it a try. now. i have about 48 characters (dont recognize half of them to be honest just random lvl 1's) but most of my 50s are just gone. i have 1 left. I think there is something going on. i have to sub ofc to get to provide a ticket and get help and voila. an answer. No other lvl 50s have ever existed on my account., nor have i deleted any characters or transferred them. i must be wrong. Now i am now 'old' but not that old. i remember hut ball. the pulls and force pushes. my friend had an identical character but red. mine was blue. tentacle. it was a sorceress but my other friend tells me its an inquisitor. Anyhows. i went through my email and found a screenshot i sent showing the FPS back in the day and what do you know. its of my non existant sanctified sith sorceress at lvl 50 near a guildie. I send that to show the game master im not mad. To which i get the same response that it never existed. but now with a note of please dont send more tickets about this issue we wont answer it. Followed by if you need more help with this or other issues please dont hesitate to send us another line. now does anyone know what is going on with the missing characters ? I was not playing when it was transferred from email login to username login and someone mentioned it might be that. and i see its been alot of server transfers. Is this also the level of help they provide ? here is my sorceress that was never made nor existed. https://imgur.com/a/qqp31SW Here i am apparently lying about the sorceress i never created and never existed back in 2012 https://forums.swtor.com/topic/314727-its-time-to-shelve-the-sorc-for-good/?do=findComment&comment=3284495

I play a sorc. its the best damn class i can find next to sniper. (yeah whine about class imbalance if you want to) if you cant kill a sorc a tank is just guarding him/her, if i enter a BG i get nuked instantly. i dont get time to heal off until second time around. I have had enough of sorc whining. seriously. those effing marauders hit me for 5 k plus (yes i have 500 plus xpertise) and the just annihilate me 1 on 1. if you still whine about sorcs. just effin quit the game or learn to outsmart them. no need to whine to make you better. training makes perfect, BTW, when is the Mara nerf hitting us ? they dont need a effin buff seriously. everyones a mara in pvp today !

Basilisk droid isnt that good either. the pvp in this game is just WZ's nothing else. and long effing queues.

The engine of this game is free. So basicly the programmers had to learn about a broken engine from scratch. often scratching their head in why its like that. however. im drunk so dont listen to much to me. This game has lost the PvP crowd they were after. 80% is waiting for another game about to hit the shelves, (including me) dont try and patch anything. if you can. revert to late 2011 drivers if you can. it will give you a 10 FPS boost and if possible. run this game with only DX9 installed. no 11. Sanctified out! <3

I will maintain this thread as the definitive PvP Design Flaw list. See also: Definitive PVP Bug List =================================================== Any Warzone - Incentive to Win for Daily/Weekly causes quitting rather than playing through to the end. -FIX. put penalties in, such as but not limited to 30 min start lockouts for pvp. - After daily/weekly are done, incentive to farm badges outweighs incentive to win the match -FIX. implement mercenary badges on wins. 30 for each win should suffice. where as some classes get 40 points and some more than 100 for a shared win. - Matching system is broken. leavers get teamed against premades and some teams have only healers VS dps. -FIX. create a matching system that takes into account speccs classes and gear (score) (expertise etc) and match up almost identical or as close to identical as you can get. Valor ranks included Huttball - having a long entrance tunnel prior to the actual entry point serves no purpose FIX. take out the tunnel. remove it. place concrete from start to finish. Voidstar - The long initial speeder ride as first defender is useless and can delay late joiners -FIX. Have each pvp WZ in a specific TAB where you can turn off speeder rides. 'Welcome to huttball' explanations and slow sith lorry rides. (they do get annoying) - having to press "space bar" at the beginning serves no purpose. -FIX. give us the ability to take away movie cinematics (not sure if the gameplay one works there) Civil War Ilum - Incentive to complete Daily/Weekly causes kill trading and crate sharing rather than PvP -FIX. revamp entire ILUM it is broken and needs a fix. badly. - After daily/weekly are done, incentive to stay in Ilum is weak (valor gain only, which virtually ceases at Valor Rank 60) -FIX. ILUM should be buried and its name never mentioned again. this planet is a farse. a headache and noone willingly goes to get a headache. Open World - There is no incentive to engage in open world PvP. -FIX. Open world pvp should be a heavily grindable Planet. with lots of elite mobs that drop very good loot. also alot of crew skill boxes. loot etc. HOWEVER. this planet should NOT be large. very small and open to bothfactions.

So i thought. would be cool if i could actually make a really good gun for myself at lvl 50 yeah ? Wrong. ive grinded the HMs around. ive done the EV and KP although not hardmode yet. were seeing armormech and synthweaving and cybertech BoP epics drop like flies. Where in gods name is the use of armstech ? my best thing i can make is a lvl 48 gun. and that takes me 3 biometric crystals. lets say i reverse engineer them shall we ? And we all know that can take upto 40 but for this sake im gonna say 10 times. just to be fair. that means i need 30 alloys!!! and if i win one alloy in every 4 instance it means i have to do 120 instances to get the alloys for it. (but seeing how it is sith to do it would probably take me 20 or 30 tries. Why on earth i havent respecced is beyond me but surely you are implementing some sort of adjustment ?

Sorceres/sage can be easy. and it can be hard. depending on what specc and class you are and ofc. what specc he is. If you take in to account the surroundings. LOS issues. Youre a sniper. hes a dotter. Youre ****ed. seriously. hes gonna dot you up and LOS you. i myself play a merc/ars (i like the insta damage whatcha gonna do) if i meet a sorc i just start pounding tracers. ofc by the second the shield is off. He stands there like a hopeless git trying to dps fight me. not realizing im just building upp debuffs on him to nuke him down in 2 seconds. after the 3rd tracer nothing he does matters. i insta shoot 1 tracer. heatseek him unload and as a nice finisher i just pound his running scared arse with a rail shot. that is 90% of my fights with them. the other 10% of the sages sorcs just LOS me at once or stun me.

The fact you said this makes me believe you are a faceroller myself. The tracer missile is mostly used to stack debuffs. (why the hell would i not stack debuffs on you ?) the other abilities we have all succumb to those debuffs on you. with 5 x stacks of debuffs most other abilities hit for more. My question is simple. why not just interrupt the TM ? its being done alot and i always take 1 or 2 secs figuring out why the hell im just standing glaring into the void. why not just LOS us ? we cant hit you behind a wall. But ofcourse whiners always whine. thats what they do in the end

Heres a few Free pvp advice for you. 1. Challenge modes. An imperial can challenge a republic to a duel to the death. gain a bounty to his head if he wins. this bounty is then growing as he wins more challenges. 1 on 1. the victor stands tall in the end. 2. Elimination round. 2 teams. (no god damn huttball) simple. eliminate the other team. 3 rounds. make it OPS signable. get plus % on valor if you hit a winning streak. This way real pvpers get more Valor and rewards faster against non pvpers. (when i mean rewards i mean titles. names. not necessarily gear. A real PvPer is not seeking gear only. he wants recognition. a fight. a fair fight and a feeling of winning. 3. Elimination daily. 4 teams. can have it either 1 in each. 2 in each etc etc. all sign up and partake in the slaughter. only 1 team finishes to the end and stands as the victor at the end of the day. you loose youre out. Idea is all of the teams fight at once. FFA fight. this should really put things into a nice diplomatic and slaughterish feel i think. 4. Urban hitman. Make a planet. (not so big) allow upto 100 people in at a time. randomly put a price on a guys head. the longer he stays alive the more points he scores. Make it urban. Alot of small rooms from the streets that he can hide in. Make buttons. traps. Fire (who doesnt love fire) no teaming up every man for himself. you can enter and be in there for as long as you want. you will only get LOW valor for a normal kill. like 20 tops. but kill the target and you get 1500. a hefty reward. 5. Space combat. everyone has been asking if this is gonna be here. i would LOVE to be able to empty a 150 missile battery into a Jedis face. this only thing i see about this is the fact you would need to be able to steer the ship more. we dont need to do 360 degree rolls. just up down left right you know. the basics. the ideas are endless. and much of it is just a remodeled Hutball or take an already made area copy paste it like a small Nar shaddah area with open doors and turrets here and there and you could actually have ALOT of fun. So Gabe. time to get that pvp team of facebook and go out for some icecream. prefferably Ben and Jerrys and think about it for an hour. then go make it. I actually Dare you to make the Urban one and put it on the PTR. see the response! (i know id love it)

Anyone else who just couldnt handle another MMO where pugs and general was filled with kids ? Im not stating fact but ive had enough of ridicoulus comments in general. kid fights and strength geared healers (so they can carry more items) Sith or Jedi i dont care. i am actually biased to want to lvl a trooper. (have you seen that frakin gun they have ?) but i lvled a merc. i guess thats the. ill take on all the jedi reinforcements alone gene in me right ? But no. In reality its gone to far. to much effort has been put down already in to many chars. Faction imbalance is inevitable. Just allow faction changes and guilds might just move entirely. Then us Imperials will show you how to crush Republics when we are outnumbered And then you will whine about the abundance of kids playing Jedi charging a full squad of mercs solo and die an heroic death for the Republic....

For gods sake BW owners. shareholders someone who can do something about the crew ruining the company watch this and look at the similarities. 99% of the people want this game to suceed! http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/mmo/articles/44427.aspx

There is no way they are gonna 'carefully' evaluate thousands upon thousands if not hundreds of thousands of characters doing it. a fresh rollback about 10 hours ago should have been done. normally i dont use the woulda shoulda coulda but dafu. im severly dissapointed in the team that is handling this issue. and the guy who ultimately took the decision NOT to rollback if they arent gonna do so. Do you think the whole community would have gone bazonked over a badly designed pvp planet ? No, us imperials could spawncamp the Reps. they had no chance. we just stood there in an ops group getting more valor in hours than you would in days pvping all days long. you could get upto 500 valor a minute where as a WZ gave you a 1100 for a win for 20 minutes of playtime.

I am asking politely why no action is being taken to roll back the Valor gained in todays Ilum. Clearly you stated it was not working as intended and that it was a bug. youre gonna hotfix this you say but you are now letting people keep the rewards they get when they take advantage of game mechanics gone wrong. not only is this totally unjust towards thousands upon thousands of players who have spent real time day and night grinding towards desired ranks but also sets a new policy in act for you. Inadvertingly if you want to say it. After the glitch where as people could get millions upon millions of credits people who took advantage of this were not all taken out of the loop. Instead people grinding boxes on Ilum got banned ? I did NOT utilize the farming on Ilum. i did my daily and went away. But i fail to see what it gains you to let the buggers keep the Valor they gained from this. i do however see people leaving this game. And i can tell you i am not so sure i will stay. but if i go i wont go solo i can promise you that much! If you take offense from this post i am sorry. it is in no means meant to harm. demean. harrass or in any way break any ROC. if you feel it has done so you can tell me as much but deleting the post will just get it copy/paste and make a new thread again.

Did we the 50s force you to get into the WZ's ? No we did NOT! Infact when you low lvls started flooding the WZ's i cursed the battleground i was in. we didnt exactly get to pick our team. if we did. you would not have been in it. so stop with the hype here. Getting to 50 and above or even 60 meant alot of pvping. I cant imagine the amount of pvp you needed for 100. but its not just run in kill low levels and get out.

Firstly. they are in Direct! competition with other MMO's. and there for they have got to be able to stand on their own and not just shrug theyre shoulders going oh were sorry its our first MMO were gonna screw stuff upp all the time. That is what PTR's are all about. a community around it. forums and player input to help guide them and adapt. If they have programmers that are not capable of gramming this right then if you have not noticed theres alot of people standing in line for theyre jobs. fire some of those that do not know what they are doing and get in some with experience. And just so you realise a thing or 2. there is no rules of conduct about spawncamping in a PVP zone. you are there to fight. you cant just say stop ive had enough in there. You dont get banned for spawncamping on Ilum. it would be like banning people for attacking each other in BGs.
