2023 is confirmed VR expansion but you have to be a Disney+ sub first.

Hey Keith. So still nothing on the CE vendor? 8 years in? Can I get my $ for that back and downgrade to a normal sub? >.>

Mike, any chance while you're thinking about pvp you can look at the wall of crazy ideas as see if the Huttball League is still on there as a future dream, or has it definitely been thrown away forever?

I've had it (HK-55 and Chap 10) for long enough that I'd be in the camp in favor of making it available to anyone that signs up for a 6-12 month sub plan. I like having special unique things, but I like having subs more because it generally leads to more people at endgame ops and pvp. If BW concludes giving away the content will increase subs, I won't argue against it. Although, if you really want to do something special for people that have been here a long time, you could always add something cool to the CE vendor in the fleet VIP cantina....

Might be a dead horse by now, but I'm going to ask BW to look at this idea again for 6.0. Maybe it'll get a response. SWTOR could use a sports league.

Mike, I know the idea has been brought up a few times, but I've never seen BW specifically address it, and it feels like the community that really enjoys huttball is shrinking every day, but is the Huttball League idea even on the 'wall of crazy' anymore?

I will be most excited when the gearing system is announced and getting top end pvp gear ends up being just a smooth as it was in 4.0 so that we can go back to playing multiple endgame toons. Oh and, also still waiting for the announcement of the Huttballl League!

sometimes it's hard to just make people laugh :*(

I thought BW was flirting with bringing back pvp specific gear as well. If so, then having a gear set that requires ops for pve isn't bad. Honestly, the best pvp seasons in the game had pvp specific gearing. But, if they make it so that you have to run ops to get pvp gear, that's always been a mistake. Their design for 5.0 was to make it so that you could get gear that was good for both pve and pvp no matter how you chose to play, but they also massively nerfed the ability to earn gear quickly. So alts became useless, and 99% of the pvpers I see today don't run t3, let alone t4, so the gear is way less balanced than before. But, if you made pvp gear easy to get again, then the whole purpose of endgame ops is shot if you don't make pve specific gear. In the end a vast majority of people probably liked the idea of combining the gear because "play your way" sounded nice, but it ended up taking the fun our of a lot of playstyles. A reversion would be welcome. And for goodness sake, take gearing out of the loot box system. That should be cosmetic only.

I can confirm everyone did in fact transfer to SF. I logged into a SS toon and I was the only one on fleet, there were not item posted on the GTN for anything, and the PVP que never popped. I didn't travel to every planet thought. RPing with NPCs got old too fast. Logged over to my SF toons for good.

I'm in this boat too. I have 3 subs to swtor, but none of us is playing to justify it. If 6.0 isn't any good (rolling back GC from 5.0 would be a dream come true to me personally), or it doesn't have an update on its status by xmas, then we'll probably drop all 3 subs. I am going to give Anthem a try, but it's going to have to be way better than Warframe or it won't be worth subbing to. If it's not, BW might be toast as a company.

Since the votes don't really do anything, when I run in groups I vote for my wife first, best other groupmate second, and when I run solo I vote for who I think had the most impact on the match. Sometimes that just means voting for someone that guarded a node all match, and never had to call for help, even though they have little to no stats. But always the wife first. She's always the MVP of every WZ I have ever seen her play.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I really thought they were going to give hinder a try. The shorter timer on the ball is a half step in the right direction, so i'm hoping in 6.0 they try the full on hinder, or finish adding all abilities that make you cover ground instantly to the drop the ball list.

The Astrosquad still plays occasionally. Actually, I kicked everyone who wasn't family since none of us play frequently enough to manage the guild the right way. The GC loot box stuff drove us away. But, when we do play we do nothing but 8v8 pvp. If you, or really anyone, is pvping, and you see my wife and I online, feel free to group up with us. Even with the new match making we tend to win 80% of our games, so might break you out of that slump you mentioned in the other thread.

A little disappointed to see hinder reverted, but lowering the timer to explode is a good alternative. People might be tempted to pass of and back on right away, but that creates opportunities to intercept if we keep the no catching while stunned change. I'm in favor of just pushing these changes to the PTS asap, run matches for a couple of weeks, see if it worked as intended, and if not try the other method, rinse and repeat until we're 90% sure we'll achieve the goals we want on live and push it to live. We can debate about the changes forever in the forums, but this is the most exciting level of detailed feedback on pvp this game has seen from the devs, and we should help them out by just hammering it in the PTS to give solid data to go with the forum theories.
