If you want to play PVE, but you don't play ops, this progression path either locks you out from the ops level gear or it forces you to play ops, even though you may not want to play Ops. Its like saying, you don't get to wear 306 gear if you don't play Ops.

Locking top tier gear behind Vet and Master Operations? What happened to "pLaY YoUr oWn WaY"?

Yea its not that 1 Electronet is bad. Its when you get hit 2 or 3 or 4 electronets back to back.

I have a hunch that you people got banned from the theorycrafter discord because you were toxic and insulting people and now are just butthurt about it. FYI, whatever you did to get banned on theorcyrafters would have earned you a SWTOR Forum ban as well. The rules are nearly identical: Dont be racist, toxic, abusive, or hateful and don't spam. Its really not that hard.

So... Just join it? Nothing is stopping you apparently so I don't understand what the fuss is about. It's public. Just join it.

If clicking a button to join a PUBLIC discord server is too difficult for you....... I don't know what to tell you

So what? If you want direct access to the Devs, you need to do things you don't find completely appealing

Or...you could just join the Discord server

New bug: Eyrin's Haste tactical does not grant 3 Convection stacks for lightning sorcs. It only gives the standard 2 stacks

PTS exists for the same reason the TSA exists in airports. The only purpose it serves is for the illusion that it creates. TSA is the illusion of security. PTS is the illusion of player input into game design. PTS also exists for BW to deflect on complaints that they don't listen to the players. BW can deflect and say "hey, go to the PTS and give your feedback, it exists!"

If you quit the match by clicking the warzone icon and hitting Leave Warzone the split second the match ends, you don't get awarded any MVPs, even if people award it to you. Its just a quirk of the game

If you are playing ranked for mats and not ELO, you honestly don't deserve to be in the queue

Yes, its an amazing idea. Putting mats in solo ranked was a colossal failure and a huge mistake. We don't need mats farmers who just sit in a corner and afk just so they can get a chance at a drop from a box.

Thats what he was talking about lol

Your idea only works if you remove valor gained from the 8v8 modes and make it so that you can ONLY gain Valor in the unranked 4v4 queue.
