  1. Ill say, the one most frequently talked about is on SF. And they tend to fly through the day and night. You do know, they can queue up to 8 for their team now. So, basically you can pick your entire team before you queue now. Wouldnt be so bad if they went 2 4 man teams. Dont get me wrong. They dont always have all 8 filled. Not against groups so much as how long they can keep going. They certainly arent up to SIN, SRW or Drakolich standards. But still against the general population, you can certainly sway more wins your way in this configuration. It is what it is. Just like slicing. Part of the game, and you work around it as best you can., If that isnt the server they are talking about, well. This is the two cents worth on SF server, lol.
  2. Til you are blue in the face? Cause it aint going away. This is the tenth year. Zero effort is going to go into gsf in any way, shape, or form unfortunately. It will most likely be this way until they pull the power plug on the servers. The changes they made at 5.5 were intended to make it more group-centric. I know, its unpalatable. But thats the gods honest truth. This has been gone over many times, before you even mentioned it here. And, there it lies on the dust heap of history. I feel ya. But it isnt going to change.
  3. Dont be shy! New people and old, talk good memories, bad memories, etc. I remember, i think it was within the first month of GSF, we took a pop and no one could shoot each other. We spawned in the middle of the map. But we could self destruct. Total chaos that soon brought the servers down for "emergency maintenance". At least, that was Harbinger. But Harbinger always had something wrong with the power hamsters.
  4. I do a work around for "premades". If you happen to be on a server that has more than one match at a time (SF does, many times), look to see what match they are in. If you can figure that out, you can "off queue". Which means, dont accept the pop they have just taken. Wait for the next one. If you are on opposite faction as the premade, then its a 50/50 shot because you cant check, other than asking someone in match if they are there.
  5. I know what you are thinking. End premades would make the matches better. TBH, if they banned that, there would likely be less pops. As few and far between as some servers already are, it wouldnt be a good thing. Solo queue is best, but if its between going against a premade or less or no pops. I dont mind grouped people. Its just, how long they continue to be grouped that is the issue. Particularly, when they know they are crushing everything. It is a group game after all. As with slicing and all, its part of the game.
  6. He did say it inspired him for that one! Despon made so many good videos, training and otherwise. The gsf community owes him a debt of gratitude!
  7. I loved it enough, where a few years ago I made a GSF Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kL20vwclyo Not great editing, but it was my first bit of editing.
  8. SO many to think of! The constant pops..... If it didnt pop as soon as you queued, people were putting in tickets thinking it was broken.
  9. This still applies. And always will. The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.
  10. at least on SS, the pops have always been slow or nonexistent. SF and DM are pretty darn good in their prime times. Its not dead, just more active where there is more population these days. GSF has been out ten years in December, the game a few years more than that. People move on. GSF will die when Swtor dies.
  11. Ok, just a FYI It took me thousands of matches to get decent, because im a slow learner. So, you arent alone in the "im not getting it" category. In the satellite (node) matches known as DOM, to contribute, do some kind of damage, or be defensive and sit on a node you own (green). If you have trouble landing shots, its probably best to be on one of your nodes to defend it against the other team. Just being on a green node makes you contributing. In a TDM (where you dont capture nodes, but the idea is to kill as many enemy as you can, you might want to hang back on your spawn side. Not IN the spawn area, but your half of the map. You can shoot at people from the enemy team that venture that far. Use the power ups the blink red (damage over charge known as a DO), yellow (they regen main laser faster than normal, AND it refills your ammo), purple (engine power regen boost and speed boost), and then blue (shield boost). You use those, and you can do some extra damage, speed in and out of trouble, refill your used ammo, etc. Plus getting five of those per match gives you legacy cheevs. So, those are an easy cheev accomplishment. Unfortunately, you do have to do some damage. Just dont try so hard. Get within laser range and just shoot someone. Do some damage that way, and if you are feeling froggy, try and kill them. If not, just shoot someone do some damage and retreat for a bit and catch your breath. Relax a bit and let your abilities regen to use again. I'd have to say, the GSF discord has a segment that has lots of updated info for GSF. Plus, not only that it has lots of veterans that would respond to your questions. As far as builds, there are bad ones. The good ones, everyone has their build but its premised on some main points. Adjust it to your liking. What you like to do. You might look up GSF School on youtube. Its got the basics. But in the past it has helped veterans get better. Some things you just dont know until you see it. Good luck and dont despair.
  12. I have to say............ Pops are fine. Groups or no groups. As I said before Satele sucks as far as pops, because of low population and the penchant for non participators and self destructors. Pops on SS generally are not back to back. Usually a good 15 minute or more wait. And thats during prime time. Star Forge has zero issue with pops and gets multiple matches many times. Darth Malgus as well is good for pops like Star Forge. On the evenings, SF does have multiple groups queueing. Darth Malgus is good for their prime time earlier in the day U.S. time Queues pop fine, premades or not. Well, except Satele, where its always hit and miss.
  13. /cjoin gsf in game, joins you to the channel most veterans of GSF are in, and perfect to ask questions. This applies to all servers. Every server has a GSF channel. Besides that, there is a GSF Discord. Not going to put an open ended link in here, as its too easy to throw spam bots in that way. If you would like to join GSF Discord, ask in the GSF channel in game for someone to throw you an invite. GSF Discord has most veterans, links to GSF related material, such as training aids, builds, etc. GSF Discord is a huge resource for new pilots. Feel free to ask questions in there. But dont argue if you dont agree with it. Its okay to ask why that particular build, equipment, etc. Remember, the veterans have been around a bit. They offer years of practical experience. All we can do is offer advice. How you tweek it is up to you. But, we would be glad to help you. My hope is you take this opportunity to help your game play and over all quality of games. If you have come here to the forums, it means you are in search of answers. We have them.
