A couple of days ago an inquisitor made it to my close panel in novare coast before I could even get there. Pretty sure that is hacking.

They already did this, it's a new warzone called "Ancient Hypergates"

Yeah this was really necessary, bioware

The problem isn't facing better players. The problem is that only one or two teams queues regularly anymore, and they are the elite teams. Nothing in between.

Weird system. example, thanks to legacy modable gear, my sentinel had 4 piece war hero + weapon at valor level 56. not exactly what you would call a fair system if just going off of valor.

No other class can drop 10k healing in a matter of seconds, from stealth, unexpectedly. Can remove themselves from combat after dropping a ton of hots and force your team to focus on another target, removing the need to stand and cast as they are still healing even while in stealth. They can then pop up elsewhere safely and start healing again. Have the capacity to out-heal other classes without even casting a single heal thanks to hots and instants, which means their healing is uninterruptible. Great escape mechanics. Ridiculous amounts of CC capability. Yes everyone hates to face operatives and smugglers, but is happy to have them on their teams.

I think it's clear that the intention was to have similarly-rated teams battle each other, and for there to be a lot of ranked battles going on at any given time at multitudes of skill and rating levels. But instead we have ... practically nobody playing.

Nobody wants to queue anymore because of this. Ranked Warzones have died and turned into what regular warzones were on the pre-transfer servers. 45 minute queue wait times, exact same one or two teams every time, get stomped collect your 20 ranked comms and get out. Putting rank 1000 teams vs rank 2400+ teams because nobody else is queueing sure is fun. The current pvp endgame is unsuitable for anyone but the bleeding edge, with absolutely no in-between. The 'rewards' for queueing have actually come to the point where they are literally worse than doing a normal warzone and afk losing in a corner. And wins, they don't happen, so there is no reward there at all. What is going to save this? Solo ranked queues? 4 man ranked queues? Will cross-server ranked queues even save this, when people are already so put off by the long waits, the complete shame and utter lack of rewards? +1 failed endeavour, Bioware.

The better idea would be to give all players the full buffs upon respawn, so that everyone always has full buffs.

Gives dps commandos a buffer for their lack of mobility and squishiness, Move bacta infusion to 25 or 20 point talent, because honestly it's terribly weak for a 31 point talent. Gives combat medics, hopefully, an actually worthwhile 31 point talent. Personally, I would suggest that the 31 point talent be a powerful heal over time ability on a cooldown, maybe 15 or 20 seconds cooldown.

Right, because the rest of my team isn't attempting to stun, root, and kill their team, nor attempt to heal me. They were just watching me and eating popcorn. For the record, I am a fully augmented war hero and I blew every cooldown, and the opposing team was a mixed battlemaster group. The fact still stands that cc is broken, and this is not an exception to that.

Just had a wonderful game vs some operative / combat marauder / sorc group. >Stunned full durations full resolve >immediately rooted, rooted, rooted again, rooted again until my resolve was out >Stunned full durations full resolve >rooted again through my entire resolve bar Explain in what world it's ok to survive almost an entire minute without being able to move a single inch thanks to a complete lack of diminishing returns or immunity to cc This is completely broken

so lemme get this straight, nobody has any real reason. The only "reason" you guys can come up with is that "well, other classes aren't as good as vanguard and sentinel in dps, so even though commando is bottom of the barrel total garbage its still fair"

I do not play and will never play a commando dps for warzones. I am just seeing an absurd gap in feasibility concerning those ACs in RWZs, and it is an issue I will bring up on behalf of commando DPS everywhere.

Let's be simple here. Remove "skill" from the equation. Any replacement for this commando/merc is considered exactly as "skilled."
